I’ve been on that good slack mode.

I swear I didn’t mean to…

Things have been really busy at the office *Praise God*

…and life itself has kinda just pushed me into a “get it done” spirit.

Every time I thought about blogging, I tried to remind myself that I had other things to do…lol.

In fact, I can name a bunch of crap I should be doing right.this.second.

But I’m not going to for fear that I might realize how MUCH crap I really need to be doing and not finish this post.

So let’s just do it like this…

• My Blackberry Storm arrived just in time for the rainy season.
• The first day I had it was FAIL.
• I almost asked for a refund.
• I can no longer text and drive efficiently, but I’m learning.
• I have to text and drive. It’s what I do.
• Save the safety speech, please.
• I’ve heard it 50-11 times.
• I managed to hack the shit out of it…to get it to do what I need it to do.
• Since then…we’ve been win-win together.
• And since inquiring minds wanna know…
• No, I haven’t named my new Blackberry Storm … yet.
• I bought a few party dresses a few weeks ago in preparation for the Holiday party season.
• Wore one to Kappa Khristmas Jam 2008.
• Bri Bri came for KKJ; I was uber happy.
• Like Super Uber.
• Wore one to Climb, Inc Gala 2008.
• Got to hang out with j.erika, tiff, leslie, renee, miracle and des
• These girls are great…
• Do.Over – New Years 2009 – Erika and Raheem are doing it up big!!
• The Ball is Dropping, ya’ll! Make sure you’re there.
• But…all in all…had fun at both events.
• Was working slave hours prior to this week.
• Glad to finally have some down time.
• Looking forward to the New Year and starting 2009 off FRESH.

Truth is…

• I’m a little concerned about 2009.
• I have a feeling it will be a year of great change…
• Not that I’m scared of change, but…damn…

Sometimes doing what God wants me to do, isn’t super inline with what I REALLY wanna do.
But I realize that He’s in control.
So…
I’ll take it.

Bring on 2009.

Mushy Mushy and all that other stuff…

The past few months have been somewhat of a blur.

As you can see from my shoe closet…I have little time to sit and organize and actually put things where they need to be. I’m in and out…constantly.

I almost had a mild coronary when I searching for my tenni-runners to wear to the office this morning. Sad state of affairs, I tell you.

Luckily, the shoe closet is the only area of my place that looks…like…this. My minor OCD keeps me from having the rest of my living space look as unorganized.

I can shut the door on this. Or simply close my eyes and reach in and just deal with whatever I pull out each morning. It’s a real treat trying to match my clothing to my shoes, just so I don’t have to actually open this door.

*hanging head in shame*

Sweet Minty Jesus, I’ll get it together. I will.

It’s almost 2009. I have no choice.

Yes We Did.

My obama.fresh. Yes We Did shirt from Busted Tees arrived yesterday.

I forgot that I ordered it until I checked the mailbox. I think it arrived when we were on the cruise, but being that I only check the mailbox once a week… eh well… you get the picture.

I don’t know when I’ll wear it, but I’ll be sure to uhh… capture the moment.

Yes we can. Yes we did.

Ciao!

My hatred for Internet Explorer runs deep.

But my need for sanity runs deeper.

I installed Multiple IE on the Office Network today.

Of course I had to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 first. Not fun in my opinion, but a necessary evil.

Anything involving Internet Explorer is a headache.

But I did what I had to do.

I get tired of rendering and validating in Firefox sometimes.

So it was just easier to just install the crap.

If you’re like me…you might want to go ahead and do the same.

Just make sure that you read the “Important Notes” first before you start throwing yourself out of buildings and what not.

Ciao!

Two of my most favorite things.
This will be me for another hour or so…

My body is still on East Coast time, so I was up at 6am this morning as if it was nothing. But I plan on obtaining a decent amount of sleep tonight…after “Gossip Girl” of course…

I added more photos from the Bahamas to Flickr tonight. The same rules apply. Public view some; Friends view all.

When I got to work, I thought I would be spending the day pulling my hair out. But alas, it wasn’t so bad. I’m glad there were few “fires” while I was gone.

I’m glad that I’m back, but I must admit that I miss the views and the fresh air of being out in the middle of the ocean. When I returned home there was soot everywhere…even on Lexi. After cleaning off the back patio for Bentley’s well being, I had little energy to clean the soot around the front door. Maybe tomorrow.

Anyways, half time is over. Back to football and programming.

Ciao!

But I don’t want to be…
I spent a lot of time relaxing during our trip.

This photo is of me relaxing on our balcony during a sunrise.
I enjoyed it thoroughly.

It’s really late…
So rather than nauseate you with how great the trip was and how much fun I had, I’ll post my flickr.

Public gets some. Friends get all.

Photos from the Bahamas

I should be asleep so I’m headed there now.

I’ll still be MIA until Monday…
Catch me if you can.

Ciao!

This week has been one full week, I tell ya. I finally closed out one of the biggest projects to date, started 7 others, and pushed 4 to final review stage.

And all because I was determined not to think about any type of server, blog, client, marketing plan, database schema, or project while I was in the Bahamas.

God is good.

And I’m so ready for my gorilla shaped cup filled with pineapple juice and rum.

Photo Description: To kick off my week in the Bahamas, I went to get a mani / pedi and the girl in the pink shirt caught an attitude because I wanted my regular lady to do my mani / pedi. She then spent her time watching a DVD and shooting me dirty looks over her portable player. Eh well. Can’t win em all.

I don’t know when Ill blog again. Maybe when I’m back? Eh. Well see.

Ciao!
Mobile Me

And we were cool, until he asked if he could press the escape button.
Incog does that sometimes too. *shhh*

But, I’m not trippin.
Since he’s the new President Elect, he gets a pass today.
I’m super excited for what this will mean for our country.
And even more excited for what this symbolizes for all African Americans.

Watching the people in Kenya today was really eye opening. They believe we can make a change too. And that really says something.

So, Obama can press all of the buttons he wants today.
It’s ALL good.

Yay Obama. Yay Us.

Reese is dead.
I ate him.

But he’s still got 5 twin brothers. They’ll last all of 4 days tops.

Poor Reese.
Poor Reese’s twin brothers.

Dear Readers…

Meet $data (affectionately named by punchdouble).

She’s small..she’s pink…and she’s been enhancing my life…for less than 24 hours. Her cover flip excites me.

My blog posts have become more and more sparatic lately.
I apologize.

You’ll find me somewhere in between office and home on any given day – minus saturday and sunday. And even on those days, I’m usually at home doing some work. I’ve managed to go out a few times in the past two weeks, but one would hardly call it a social life.

My end of the rainbow surfaces next Friday, when we head to the Bahamas for 7 whole days of relaxation and no-work. Oh Bahamas…how I miss you so…

• Jesus be a gorilla shaped coconut filled with rum and pineapple juice.

Until later…Love, Court
