Have not posted in a long time, but that shouldn't stop me from posting now, right? I am starting back school in January, which I am looking forward to! Aside from that I have been looking for work and staying out of trouble. My hair has grown a lot since I first cut it. I am pleased with the Wave Nouveau product line. It has done wonders for my hair. I think it was the perfect choice for me seeing as though I don't like doing much to my hair. It is pretty low maintainece and care-free. I will keep this post short as I have not much going on right now. I am seeing someone that I am happy with. I have not felt like such a Queen in a long time, maybe since my ex-husband. I have to admit, it is very refreshing to not worry about little petty things and to be completely catered too. I think being with someone older has been a blessing, but I thank him for his steadfastness and total devotion. Ah, love is great, especially to a Frenchman!
Out of Hibernation!

Confessions of a Texaholic! Take 1
So, I just thought of a great and useful way to share random moments of funniness and foolishness via text! Gotta love modern technology right?! Oops, I mean "rght?" LOL Smiley face :)This feature will have texts either sent to me or by me. Those are the only rules...oh and I promise anonymity for those select few with my cell phone number.
Entry 1: [referring to my music, while waiting at my front door]
Texter: Shut dat koo shyt off
Me: Fux u!
Texter: Sound like da opera an shyt in dur
Me: Fux u!
So, I have what I like to call "mood music" that I zone out to, sometimes I guess, to my neighbors' dismay ;-/
**Edited to say this first one is a two-fer**
Entry 2: [This one speaks for itself, at least I think]
Texter: Wuz up beautiful
Me:
Texter: Ur text aint say nothing
Me: I know my bad what up?
Texter: Shit just wanted 2 say wuz up
Me:
Step your text-game up Pimpin!!! LOL
My computer was out sick.
Ahhhh....I have missed my blog. I am happy, hot and bothered. Just kidding. I am hot though and happy. I stole the night last night with a great friend. I am going to take a nap and wake up wishing it to be October and about 30 degrees cooler outside. I registered for school yesterday. I think my plan has shifted to Secondary education. I can see me with a high school English class. Yes!
Dear Diary Pt. 1
I have not been home lately. I have been with Mamita! She is the greatest dose of therapy a girl could ask for! I truly am grateful to be able to call such a graceful, strong, hilarious, righteous and truly magnificent woman my MOM <3
I have yet to blog anything that was close to a formal journal. That ends today.
Some folks tried to warn me of the impending Quarter-Life Crisis I would face as I turned 25. I laughed. Today, as Mom would say, I am experiencing growing pains! You know, asking myself what I wanna be when I grow up, as if I have not been in college the last 7 years to become an elementary teacher. Why don't I have a bf? What is wrong with me? Questions that have begged me to do some deep soul-searching. Mama says she thinks I would make a great lawyer because I "always go to bat for people." I have to admit, as long as I thought I wanted to be an educator, I never imagined by the time I graduated, the state of the educational system would be in such disarray. I love my educators! Don't get me wrong, but I am deeply questioning, especially in light of my first attempt at an education class (ELED 301), that perhaps, just maybe, this is not the field for me after all.
Law school, bar exams and what not is in a whole other league. I have no idea what all it entails, but one thing I do know, is that I would not worry or hurt for financial security. As I told my Mom while riding with her the other day, "I wanna be paid, and livin' large." Ironically, I keep hearing every song imaginable that contains a reference to Keepin' Up With the Joneses. The irony lies in the fact that my mother's maiden name is Jones, although I don't find it as ironic as much anymore. All of my family on that side enjoys nice, perhaps a bit lavish, things. And why not?! It is our namesake after all. That said, I am reconsidering my choice of careers due to the recent down sliding of the economy. Nothing is in stone just yet, but I have completed all of the required 'General Education' courses for my college. I am a senior (credit-wise) who is about to reconsider her whole academic mission.
Relationships. Ugh, I hate to even go there, but for therapy's sake, I will divulge just enough. My ex is seeing a former/current client. The kicker is that she ain't like me, if you know what I mean. I am all for dating outside of one's race, but damn homey. You would think he won a trophy by the rapidness at which he was willing to but his and her relationship on blast. Jealous, well not really. I truly wish all of my exes happiness, despite the fuc*ery and shenanigans they pull with me. It is just that I was warned by a certain friend, of the game that my ex likes to play with his clients. True-to-form, this one and myself are no exception. I hope for both of their sakes, that they do not bring out the worst in each other as he and I did. Get down how you live dude! OH, and you may want to tell your friends to make ALL of their photos private, especially since they contain extremely suspect looking pictures of you at Pride this year.
Living in the city (CHI-town!) was always something I wanted. I love it! Don't get me wrong, but what's a girl to do when the rampant shootings keep getting closerandcloser to her home. And with the Supreme Court striking down Chicago's ban on hand-guns, I literally live in fear. I mean I try to be aware of my surroundings and company at ALL times, but I feel now more than ever, that you can never be too careful. This may not sound like anything new, but for a single-gal who calls this great city her home, it is a bit much to think about. I have been hiding out, as I like to think in Elgin the last few days and nights. Mamita has given me a lot to think about and consider. I love my mom, but we are both creatures who enjoy our personal space every now and again. I would love to bail on my city, but I think I just need to wait on time. It has usually been on my side. That is, unless I try to beat it. A loser's game.

My ex-husband has been on my mind a lot recently. I miss him and his strength. Him and his family helped me become the woman I am today and I am forever grateful! Who knows what the future holds...I do know one thing though, and that is I completely forgot about the sick a$$ GOLD, wedding band he gave me the last time I visited him. I lent it to a girlfriend who asked to wear it last summer, since my fingers had grown too fat for it. Well, 45 pounds and slim fingers lighter, missing him more than ever, I would like it back and she skipped town a few weeks back to soul-search. Whatevs! Alls I know, is I want my wedding ring back, yesterday :-\
I AM WEARING THE RING IN THIS PHOTO.
So, as I reconsider some things and reevaluate my life, I would like to say that I am mostly happy. I am secure with who I am and mostly pleased with my physical appearance as well. Not fully sure about the prospect of my teaching at this point, but at the very least, the idea of me and about 30 or so 8-9 year olds is daunting at best. I love a great challenge, but I would like to reap the benefits and dividends in a profession that is not so thankless. As my dad so eloquently put it a few days ago, "I did not raise you to not be in the limelight."
Gee, thanks Dad!
Just my thoughts...
"And when he get on, he leave yo ass for a white girl!"I am off to bike to the beach! Volleyball is awaiting. ;-)
A few words about social networking sites...
I check in and out of them like rehab. That is all. Good night and sleep sweet ;-)
I Love...
If you want to be happy, be. ~Leo Tolstoy
My amazing friends who bring me chicken breasts seasoned with Sazon, and rice for dinner. Friends who are all damn good cooks, I must add! Put me on to tomato and avocado salad!! Yummo!
Listening to my iPod. To date, I have 2,508 songs and I can not fathom making it through these long summer days without it playing as the Soundtrack of my Life.
Working out with my workout Buddy! Her determination is inspiring! The possibilities are endless among us. Beach bodies, well just HAWT bodies!! Chea.
Putting my TV on mute and leaving it there most, if not all of the day. Most of TV is a visual experience anyway, so as long as I can read and see, I'm good, right? :*/ As far as I'm concerned, volume is reserved for certain moments of certain programs, and the conglomerate of the thing called "NEWS," even that is mostly for the weather.
Getting re-acquainted with my hair in it's natural state. Nothing, well nothing as of late, feels better than facing the world with my hair looking and feeling content, soaking up the sun as I ride with my sunroof open! I know, hair does not have actual emotion, but who am I to deny my coifs feelings? LOL
Discovering the ability to practice and embody the meaning of: "All things in moderation."
Open lines of communication.
Losing a solid 5 pounds within the last few weeks!
The recent renovations being performed in and around my building.
The ability to delete "friends" with the click of a button, then a confirmation.
Getting inspirational, hilarious and informative emails from my Granny <3
