October 24th, 2005 AZ and a Mini-Celeb 8 Comments

I’d like to start by apologizing for taking so darn long …lol. You know I usually get back from a trip, post pictures, and have something up by the next morning. But alas, it’s evening and I’m barely writing….apologies.

My Friday morning started off with taking Incog and his best friend to the airport…we woke up at 4:30am, dressed, drove to the best friend’s house, and I dropped them off at the airport. I then came straight to work and got here at 6:00am because I knew that if I got back on the freeway and went home….I wasnt coming back.

Anyhow, I left work at about 1pm to get to the airport because i wanted to get there early. But I realized that I didnt know where the Park N Fly was…so it took me about 1.5 hours to actually get there and park and my flight was leaving at 3:20pm. So I was cutting it close. It seemed that as soon as I got there…I was standing in line boarding with the rest of my group (group 1).

Anyhow, I landed in Arizona on time, but I forgot to turn my cell phone off during the plane trip and so, I had to stand in the Gate and plug my phone into the wall to find out where Erika was. We soon got in contact, and I was out the door, in the car, and on the way to see her new home in Gilbert.

I’d just like to say that I’m really proud of everything my sandsie has accomplished. Just graduated, new home, new baby, great relationship…I LOVE YOU!

That night we went to Home Depot so my sands could pick up a new garage door opener…to keep out the *tweakers*….lol. Then we went home so that I could explore the new home. It was super huge and really nice. :) I got my own guest room…yay me.

Erika’s Boo @ the Picnic

On Saturday, we went to the mall, did some shopping and errand running and headed over to the greek picnic to see what was going on. There wasnt a lot of people there, but I was happy…because i had decided I was going to be a GDI for the weekend. But that didnt….really….work since half the folks there already knew who I was and uh…I couldnt help but jump in the stroll line. :duh:

My Sands and Neos

It was good to see my sands of Spring 2001 again. The last time I had seen all of them together was at KKBP 2003, I believe. Glad to hear everyone is doing the damn thing…buying homes, teaching, working….so happy.

That night, we all talked and then Erika and I went home and talked some more…It felt good to be able to talk to someone who I have so much in common with…my little patna in crime…*giggle*. Oh yeah, i hate you! *i know she’s gonna read this*

On Sunday, it was good to relax…it was like..being at home…without the constant running to the office to check on Client Requests. I mean, you know me….I had my email open on my cell phone, but still….I didnt respond. And that’s a BIG step for me. lol Before I left work on Friday, I had set up a notice for clients so that they knew that I wouldnt be responding until today. I was ON VACATION! :thumbsup:

Once I got to the airport on Sunday, I found out that not only was I seated in the BACK of the plane, but uh…the flight was delayed because of some PART that was missing. So it was delayed 30 minutes. Once we finally boarded the plane, I realized that I was sitting by Brandon Jackson of Roll Bounce.

He was great to talk to…and he helped kill the monotony of sitting in that damn airplane on the runway for 1 HOUR while we waited for airport police to escort some guy off the plane *yeah, he was white…lol*. I managed to snap a few photos of this Roll Bounce Co-star…

And the little girl next to me, who was enjoying all of my little camera “gidgets” wanted to take one too…so I let her at it…

Once we got off the plane, Brandon and I walked through the Airport and laughed. He’s up and coming you guys…and very proud of it. Congrats Brandon! *I know you’re readin this…lol* It took about 10 minutes for the Park N Fly shuttle to pull up, and once i got on, it took about 10 MORE minutes to get to the parking lot. But I got there just in time for the Parking Lot to have a Power Surge. *throws hands up in the air*….Lawd….Anyhow, I made it out safely..and headed BACK around the corner to the airport to pick up Incog and his friend who had just landed.

We made it home safely and were pretty much knocked out by the time we got there. It was a good weekend in all.

This morning was horrid cause I took me two hours to get here *work*, but eh well…such is life. I hope you all had a super weekend. I know I did….

Peace and Blessings….
PS. I’ll be posting ALL of the photos in the photo gallery later on tonight. I’ll post a link in tomorrow’s post.

before I start my weekend….

Went to the skating rink last night…got a blister :pissed: , but it was worth it…my legs are thanking me today…lol

I woke up early to go get my hair done and BOOOOOOI did it need it. I got scolded for waiting so long…when you have a relationship like that with your beautician, it’s a GOOD thing. I dont think my hair would have grown back to be this long if it wasnt for her. :thumbsup:

My sands Britni gave birth today. CONGRATULATIONS SANDSIE! We’re all growing up so fast….*sigh*. So many babies now…First Raynee, then Erika, now Brit….:grouphug: I love my sisters.

I’m gonna get up and go pack in a minute…that’s the only thing I dont like about going on trips…the packing. I dont think I’m going to check a bag though. If they were to ruin my new Luggage, I’d have to crawl out on the runway and slap some folks. It would be me, them, and the airport security that would have to save THEM. And you can just forget shoes and belt for the flight. I’m wearin flip flops…I REFUSE to have to go through the taking off of shoes again to get through security scans.

Oh, i forgot to introduce you to Ernie. He’s my work buddy. Go Trojans! :curtsey:

Anyhow, me and my patna in crime (Erika) will be together again this weekend. I’m super excited. Expect lots of pictures, you know me well enough by now.

FIXED SITE ISSUES

With new layouts come site fixes…I fixed the SUBSCRIBE feature. Thanks to Bruthacode for bringing it to my attention. I also STOPPED the Radio.Blog AUTOPLAY. I did this because it was slowing down the site load for the Modemly Challenged.

Anyhow…have a blessed Friday and Weekend ya’ll. Stay safe.

October 19th, 2005 Smart People 10 Comments

You can’t tell Smart People anything…..because they think they know so much.

All right, I’ll admit it. I’m hard headed. The first step to solving the problem is admitting that you have one. Unlike Jazz, I’m not an alcoholic, so I didnt think the rule applied. J/K @ Jazz
So you can go ahead and add that to the list. Spoiled, Hard Headed, Anal, Vain….Smart. I’ll take it. Fuck it. Part of what makes me, ME.

But in my defense and in defense of other smart folks out there…

1) We wouldnt have gotten this smart if we DIDNT listen. :shhh:

2) We probably wouldnt have learned so much, if we didnt have so much practice preparing and arguing our points. :surprised:

and 3) Who likes a dummy? :duh:

I what I’m trying to say is…the previous statement that you can’t tell a smart person anything because they dont listen, just isnt true. We listen to everything that is stated. That’s how we learn. Now whether or not we actually choose to USE the information that is presented…that’s another story.

Alright, that’s my rant for the day.

Good News: Got my Dr. Jay’s Order…but uh…where are my skates, damn-nabit?

Have a blessed afternoon ya’ll.
