*slightly small so you can’t read it you NOSEY BUGS*

It was from my sandsie. *sorority sister*..my #3. :hug: She asked me to be her Bridesmaid…*again* …formally.YAY!

I LOVE YOU! :cloud9:

Today was a good day….despite the fact that my arms and legs and ass hurts..:ass:..things are perty darn good..:thumbsup:..The card made my day extra special. :girlie: We’re one day closer to Friday ya’ll! I can’t WAIT…..things are going good…I’ve decided that if getting my Masters is what I want to do, then I’m going to do what it takes to get there….which means kickin ass on the GRE. In between gym time and developing time, I’m gonna be in the books…It’s the only way….

Besides…I’ve decided that I’m gonna get myself a little treat if I get into the Masters Program…..

:curtsey:

WISH ME LUCK! I’M ON A MISSION DAMN-NABIT!

Have a Blessed Thursday! :pray:

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

But you have to….because it’s real….
I decided to get online today and to SEE what’s going on…to read the news, and to view the photos and to HEAR what’s going on in NEW ORLEANS…..and it’s real….everything that they’re experiencing is REAL.
OH and um….Guess where Bush is….:???:
YEP…”On Vacation” :loser:

This my friends, is a wake up call.

Cherish what you have because one day…it could LITERALLY/FIGURATIVELY be swept away.

My prayers go out to those people who have lost loved ones, lost pets, lost ANYTHING or ANYONE in Hurricane Katrina. My God Bless you and keep you safe…..:pray:

(more…)

No one is here…..same as yesterday….. just about 3 of us working today……MAN, if i didnt KNOW that i was going to be handling some things that would require me to leave work in a week or so…..SMH…I’d be in bed too. :pissed:

I’m soooo sleepy……..

more later…

L to R (Tavia, Audris, Me, Andrea, Tif, Brandy, & Bri – circa 2003)

I remember the days when things were extra care free….nothing besides “who was gonna be at the next party”, or “when we were leavin for that road trip” or “who was crossing who and when” really mattered back then….I mean, school mattered….but at the time…it was all about the fun….all about the people….:surprised:

and now it’s just….NOT.

I have a lot on my mind….GRE, the Company, Bills…….just bare with me the next few days…..

xoxoxoxoxoxo

Welp, as promised…I started work on UrbanWeblogs.com.

Coley and I first considered having a place where Cali Bloggers could login and meet other Cali Bloggers…but the pull wasnt that strong…Well it was strong, but not strong enough for me to feel as if I should spend hours coding a website for Cali EXCLUSIVELY. :uhh: Truth is, I woulda been PISSED :pissed: if I had spent HOURS away from my honey bunny and not really had a lot of people using it……SOOOO

I talked it over with Coley and we’ve decided to EXPAND it. So it’s not just for CALI Bloggers….it’s for UrbanBloggers everywhere.

Enough of that…..

The weekend went pretty smoothly…Court’s tummy hurts….*yeah, i know…third person….WHATEVER*. :fever: To tell the truth, I dont even feel like going in to work tomorrow…but I guess I need to pay my bills..:sick:…*sigh*….

On Saturday, we went to go see “40 Year Old Virgin” and “The Skeleton Key”.

40 Year Old Virgin

Good movie, I’d definately recommend it…and I’ll probably buy it on DVD. It was HIGH-LARIOUS.

The Skeleton Key

There were some scenes that I had to cover my eyes….I was SCURRED. :hissy: I didnt really understand what it was about in the previews, but Movie Hopping is the lick and it WAS right across from “40 Year Old Virgin”…sooooooo…..WHY NOT? :surprised: Did I mention I was SCURRED? Yeah….I was…..It was just…too much for little old impressionable me. I wont be buying it or renting it or watching it again….had Incog not been there, I woulda had nightmares….It’s just one of the CREEPY movies that makes you THINK TOO MUCH after it’s over. Movies like that make you wanna just go home and PRAY. :pray: I kid you NOT, I was praying all the way to the car, and all the way home….

Earlier on Saturday, I was able to go to the Post Office and pick up my RockStar Tees….FINALLY. They’re super cute, think I’ll wear one tomorrow….

School/GRE News

Before going to the post office on Saturday, we stopped by CSUNorthridge so we could pick up some course catalogs and information on Graduate Studies and Teaching Credentials…..MAN is all that stuff confusing. :pissed: But anyways, I found out that I can take classes without being enrolled and then once I get in, just use those units and apply them towards the Graduate Degree. I’ve decided to just go ahead and wait anyways though until I get my GRE scores. :thumbsup: I’m waivering on whether or not I want to get my MS in Computer Science or Consumer Studies…if they had a Human Resources Graduate Program, I would definately be doing that, but alas, they dont…so I’m going to have to find an alternative. :surprised:

Anywho, I hope you all have a GREAT Monday and a GREAT Week…….:cloud9: Maybe some new pictures coming by the end of this week…..depends on how the clothes are fitting.

MMMM…..yummy and smooth…..yesterday, I stopped downstairs to get a “Strawberry Blondie”….and BOY was I excited….I could just taste it….all smooth and tasty……with extra whipped cream on the top…..I thought I had found it; the replacement to my strawberry smoothie with Boba from my old job. I think you remember it. It was the subject of MANY a post on this website. As she mixed the frozen yogurt and crisp strawberries that were oh so fresh and ripe….I could just taste it. She couldnt be done soon enough….:yummy:

And the way it tasted….OMG. :cloud9: The heavens opened up and wrapped me in soft strawberry frothy pillows….mmmmmmm…….

And then I woke up.

What the HELL was I dreaming about?

All the while I was imagining my Strawberry Smoothie, I had SUCKED DOWN some type of STRANGE ASS CONCOCTION…

Nevermind the fact that the wench behind the counter didnt know what was supposed to be IN the smoothie….
Nevermind the fact that she ignored my request for NO BANANAS.
Nevermind the fact that EVERYTHING was frozen and packaged easily for her to grab in a hurry *I guess that’s how they do it these days*…..EVEN THE FROZEN ORANGE JUICE came neatly wrapped in a little FROZEN pouch.

I had lost my mind…

While daydreaming of my FRESH Strawberry Smoothie days, I had watched her get LOST in the making of this here “Strawberry Blondie”.

Where was my BOBA!?:typing:
And WTH is frozen ORANGE JUICE doing in a strawberry smoothie……is that the BLOND part? :typing:
What happened to the non-fat milk? :typing:
Where was the whipped cream topping? :typing:
And WHY was she still staring at me with this dumb look?? :typing:
Was it the fact that I had a look of utter disgust on my face? :typing:
Was it because she wasnt sure if she had made it right? :typing:
Is that JUST
HOW
SHE
LOOKS? :loser:

Awww fuck it…..:wtf:……I’ve decided that there will be no more ordering “SMOOTHIES” from this place….I’ll have to stick to good old fashion water.

I give up.

In other news…Guess who won an award? :curtsey:

Isnt it cute?

Anyhow, I’ll let you guys get back to your day….I hope it’s a good one! It’s FRIDAY! It should be….:surprised:
Have a great weekend ya’ll!

xoxoxoxoxo

doesn’t he just look….REGAL?

In light of my studying and cramming *ONCE AGAIN*, I’ve decided to find some type of inspiration. And I’ve found him in a Mr. Potato Head. I’d never had one as a child, so I decided to hop on Amazon and find one….but I couldnt…they didnt have any..So a coworker of mine who used to work for Shopzilla.com found one for me. :thumbsup:

I was happy to come home and find Mr. Tater atop of the TV in all of his splendor. :surprised:

I’d like to introduce……MR. TATER!

Isnt he just great? :cloud9:

Happy Wednesday you guys! :grouphug:

Somehow, i cant help but be a little flustered. :pissed: Just like the SATs held the key to getting into USC, the GRE holds the key into getting into a good Masters program. God, if it could only be EASIER. As simple as it SOUNDS *get a good grade, apply*, the GRE doesnt seem that easy. I’ve bought books, *e-books, and bound books*….registered on websites *practice tests, and daily notes*….and now i’m feeling like, maybe I should just….

GIVE UP. :uhh: I’m PRAYING that the test will be easier than these practice tests I’m doing…:pray:…I DO have a month and some change right? *sigh*

But I cant, because I know that a Master will help me to secure higher positions, and more money. CHA-CHING. :thumbsup:

So….I ask….have you taken the GRE? When did you take it? Was it hard? How many times did you take it? How well did you do? Did you get in to the school that you wanted to?

Pray that I get through this…with a score good enough to get in…

PS. Someone jacked some of my photos so i had to enable hotlink…sorry ya’ll…kind of fuggs things up for the cool folks

Have a Blessed Week Ya’ll…

Today…I went to the gym…

As i walked in to the gym, i was greeted by staff who now know me as “CE” since one of them decided to play detective and look me up on the internet…*waving*…I like Sunday training sessions because it means there will be less people there and it’s a lot quieter…

Anyhow, I walked over to the admin office, said hello to everyone, and asked my trainer where he wanted me to start. And of course, he said Cardio….WOO HOO! :duh: So i walked out of the office and over to the set of *almost empty* treadmills. There was one being occupied by a black man who was bopping his head something vicious…if it wasnt Ludacris :thumbsup:, it was probably 50 cent :thumbsdown: blaring in his headset. The machine i chose was on the end…away from the black man who was now starting to hum….It was a quiet little spot…..i liked it…I added some incline, set my speed to a low 2 and prepared to get my heartrate up…and then all of a sudden a black man comes up behind me…he has a thick accent…very definitive…..

Man: 2, 4, 24…we’re gonna get you going…2 minutes walk, 4 minutes jog, 24 minutes run……

Me: *turning around thinking “Is this man talking to ME?”*

Man: Yep….2,4,24

Me: Me?

Man: Yep….2,4,24…come on…do it…let’s go…

Me: Are you serious? *looking around for my trainer who I could see through the huge glass windowed office*

Man: Sure am….come on……let’s go….

Me: *looking at my panel…* I just got here…..*looking at his shirt franticly to see if it had a Bally’s Logo*

Man: So? We’re gonna do it…..this is how i get to 26 miles a day….I stay in shape…come on….

Me: *thinking – “maybe if i just ignore him” *

Man: *reaches across the two metal bars that seperated my machine from his*:crowded:

Me: Is he really gonna…..:pissed:

Man: *increases the incline*

Me: He cant really be….:pissed:

Man: *increases the speed*

Me: HOLD UP….*flies backwards off the machine*…

At this point…..my trainer comes out and asks me if i’m okay….I look at him like “NIGGA WHERE WERE YOU??” Meanwhile, the crazy black man increases his OWN speed to sprint….:wtf:

Me: I’M DONE…NEXT MACHINE, PLEASE….I’M COOL….*shaking hand and head – thinking :wtf: just happened here??*

Needless to say…Don’t TOUCH My Treadmill. It’s NOT nice.

Yep…it’s about that time.
