I’ve been really sick and havent been able to work out for the past two weeks. :fever: It really sucks, but I’m still watching what I eat *sort of*. After the company conference, I’ll be able to put a leash around my health and find out what the heck is going on with me. Life shouldnt be like this. The emergency room twice in one week? Come on now…Lord Help.

If there’s one thing that I’ve been dreading, it’s the actual refilling of my gas tank. And on the way to work, I realized that I didnt really have a choice. :uhh:

So I pulled into Shell, cursed myself for buying a luxury SUV which required me to have to select 91 Grade Oil, and without looking at the price, stepped BACK into my vehicle to wait for the verdict.
I wasnt surprised.
16.439 Gallons @ $3.299 a Gallon
I was pissed. :shocked:
And I just HAD to select the “SUPER COMBO” CarWash, huh? :pissed:

And they say, it’ll only get worse. $4.35 a gallon in New York? Fuck it…I’ll WALK. I need to shed a few anyways.

Have a good Friday, ya’ll! Stay Blessed!

Changed things up a bit by starting the 24 hour Celebrity Diet.
>> Mix of Water and Juice

How LATE was that? :thumbsdown: My bad ya’ll…

Welp, Thursday afternoon when I got home from work…I realized that I hadnt eaten all day, so I went to grab some crackers to hold me over until Incog got home. But eating them was becoming some serious task because i was having a hard time swallowing. I shrugged it off and put the crackers back and went and drank some water, not really thinking anything was wrong…but that it was just WEIRD.

Later on, Incog got home and cooked BBQ and as I attempted to eat, I realized that everytime I chewed, my throat glands felt like they were on fire. And eventually, my left throat glan was hugely swollen and VERY noticeable, so Incog and I headed to Urgent Care to figure out what the heck.

Two hours later, we walked out holding a prescription for Amoxicillan and Vicodin. I have Strep Throat. :wtf:

By the time we got out of there, I was too tired to go fill the prescription, so we got home, and I just slept until morning. Friday morning, i woke up and ran a quick errand for work, and then headed straight for Savons. Incog got home later, and we went to see “Lucky Number Sleven” which was pretty good and “Scary Movie 4″ which i had a hard time staying awake in…It wasnt that it was boring, it was that the Vicodin had kicked in. :loser:

Saturday…I slept…..and slept…..and…slept.

After I woke up, we got tickets for the Dodger vs Giants game. Pretty good Tickets…Field Tickets…Lower Level…Good View. The crowd was HARSH on Barry Bonds though. I got Incog to run down to the box seats and take a photo of him…

:camera: More Photos from Dodgers vs. Giants

I was knocked out on the way home.

Sunday, we woke up extra early *for a Sunday* and drove to Church. There were 7,000 seats and they were all field for the 9am service. I bet the 11am service was even crazier. After that, we went to my mom’s house and had Easter Dinner *yay for Grandma and Mom*. After we left there, we stopped by the Outlets. I got a new D&B purse, and some shirts form Guess. Incog got a shirt from Nautica.

I dont know about ya’ll…but having Strep sucks to high heaven. You can barely eat anything, and your head and throat hurts. I wouldnt wish it on anyone.

Welp…I barely made it through my Monday…but I’m hangin in there…I hope you all had a good Easter and have a Great week! Stay Blessed! :pray:

PS. If you could throw up a silent prayer, that’d be great!

Oh boy, oh boy…

The weekend is over…but I’ve come to think of it as a week closer to graduating *even though I’ve still got 3 semesters to go*. Don’t laught at me. I have to have something to look forward to. Incog says, “what’s the rush”…and all i can think of is “this is costin a whole lot…I can’t even shop as much anymore!” But all in time I guess, all in time.

We got our leather couches on Thursday night. It took us a while to get them up the stairs…but a few nice neighbors held the gate open for us and another one helped us get the bigger couch through the front door. :dance: I’d like to think im she-woman, but my arms seem to think otherwise. :pissed:

For the past three weeks, i’ve been back on my little 4am workouts. I gotta get in shape for the summer. Plus Incog and I are taking a mini-vaca to Seattle, WA in July, and I want to make sure that I look decent.

Sunday, we woke up and went to church. Shepherd of the Hills is on point. If you’re ever in Northridge on a Sunday, make sure you make a trip out to Porter Ranch and see what the Church has in store for you. This Sunday, Easter Sunday, there are supposed to be close to 10,000 people in attendance for service. We’re going to have to get there at about 8am for the 9am service. We havent decided what we will do afterwards, but Im sure we’ll figure it out.

After church, we drove out to Oxnard, to take my mom the old TV that we had in the office. We had lunch at BJ’s and then went over to my grandma’s house to see my grandparents and my little cousins Gregory and Emmanuel. Afterwards, we hit up the Outlets to see what they had. I purchased a few workout pants for the mornings *it’s perty cold* from the Nike Outlet, and a shirt and hat from Lacoste.

Okay…enough babbling. I’m supposed to be asleep. I need to be awake in 3 hours for my workout. *grrrrr*
Stay Blessed. Have a good Tuesday!

No one ever said it would be easy. Life that is.

I still havent been able to get in contact with Lael.
It’s times like these where she’d listen and tell me everything will be alright. Or we’d go driving and end up at the beach and just sit there and talk…she’s one of my best friends. I gotta figure out how to find her.

I registered for classes for Summer 06. I’ll be in class 3 days a week. I’m stepping things up because I know we’ve set these BIG goals. Church helps. :pray:

We bought our tickets for our next mini-vaca this past weekend. Seattle Mariners game in July…good tickets too. I’ll make sure to take a lot of pictures. :camera:
I opened a Sharebuilder account under the supervision of a classmate who trades stocks for a living.
I stood in line at WAMU and opened another Savings Account. You can never save too much.

I received a photo of my second cousin kaila today. She’s the cutest. :tearsjoy:

We’re supposed to be getting our leather couches today…:woohoo:…so i need to clean…:bitch:…how is that for a mix of emotions. :blush:

I filed my taxes today too. I owe the government money. :pissed: Damn them. :bitch: Damn Bush. Damn Condomlisa. :sick: Damn em all to hell. :wtf: No one ever said being in business for yourself would be cheap.

Anyhow…that’s it for the rundown. I think i’ll post some photos in a few weeks. We’ll see. :shocked:
Stay Blessed! Have a good weekend *since i wont post tomorrow*.

:camera: View the Rest

Yeah well…I’m almost done. Almost. :thumbsup:
I made it through my first set of final papers. I still have to write closing arguments on one, but I’m content with the fact that it shouldn’t take more than an hour or two. And I’m still waiting to hear back from the professor regarding the presentation that pre-ceded the paper.

However, I know that my other paper went well. :woohoo:

very well written. this was an enjoyable read. im glad you made it into the course

That’s what she said, at least. I hope that means that my final grade will be good as well. :pray:

Patience is a Virtue.

Although it was drilled into me for 8 weeks, 3 days…*you dont need to know the rest*…it’s an area that I still struggle in. :bitch: I’m having a hard time seeing where this is going…and I think a few others are as well. :shocked: The issue is that no one really “knows” and I dont know how I feel about that. If THEY dont know, how am I supposed to know? My confidence in this is shaken, and I might have to consider some alternatives soon.

Things are good right now with me and Incog. :heartbeat:And I know that it’s all God…I hope that things continue to be good and even better than they are. A few weeks ago, *if you remember*, we went to Palm Springs and stayed at the Morongo Resort and Casino. Super plush it was *yoda moment*. Those are some of the photos above. There are more in the gallery, of course.

Welp….I hope you all had a blessed past few weeks! Stay safe!
