May 18th, 2008 Theme Update - Minimalism 6 Comments

If you’re close to me, you know that lately, I’ve been trying to make things in my life…a little more … simple.

I’ve been consolidating and getting rid of the things that I don’t necessarily need.

So, I decided to reflect this in my blog theme as well. Hopefully it will also decrease the load time as well.

Anyways…this weekend was pretty cool.

We participated in the 5k UNCF Los Angeles Walk For Education around our Alma Mater (USC) & Exposition Park. It was great to be able to get out and hang… La Shia and I finished 11th in the run. But I promise my ankle was dying on the last mile. While crossing Exposition, I twisted my ankle on the uneven street…but I kept running on it anyways. The only thing I was thinking was… “Don’t swell. Please …just…don’t swell before I finish.” And it didn’t. It waited until I got back to Christal’s house… a ha. :(

But definitely fun to do…

Christal and I spent the afternoon talking and hanging out. Love you. Mean it.

Today, we went to church as usual…and after, we caught up on The Ultimate Fighter. I love that show. I caught up on Keeping Up with the Kardashians too…lol

Welp…I’m gonna grab some water and head to bed. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow that I’m not super excited about. I already know they’re going to tell me that I need to have a tooth pulled. Urgh.

I was tagged a few weeks ago…and I’m slow so bare with me as I try to catch up…lol

1. link the person who tagged you… Sheita

2. mention the rules in your blog… oh…just copy these (1-5)

3. tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours

I like to keep the refrigerator as clean as possible. So much so that I’ll put the gallon of milk on a plastic plate so that it doesnt leave a puddle on the clear shelf.

I like drinking lots of water before I go to sleep.

I tend to go to my office wearing gym clothes so that I dont have an excuse not to go when I leave.

I can remember numbers, but I can’t put names with faces to save my life, let alone remember names.

Whenever I check the mail, if there’s nothing exciting…I tend to leave it in the mailbox for a few days…

4. tag 6 following bloggers by linking them

Rece, Inga, A.dot, Golden, I’m too tired to find someone else who hasnt done it yet…and if you have, and I tagged you?…..OOPS.

5. leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

Done.

Alright…sleep tight. Hope you enjoy the new look.

Stay Blessed.

May 15th, 2008 In Short… 4 Comments

I hate Subscribe2…it’s the devil.

When you install a plugin there shouldnt be much configuration…

And I’m trying to understand why not just…make changes when the plugin is in development so that there’s not a million people wondering why their emails arent being sent out…

It’s just just….urgh.

Besides that…everything else is okay…no real complaints….YET. a ha ha….

The new business cards arrived when I was out of the office yesterday. The ladies downstairs were nice enough to grab the package for me. I love overnightprints.com. Since we incorporated, I had to put Inc. all over everything….oy.

When incog got home yesterday, we went to see the Harold and Kumar movie until the power came back on.  Can you say…SEXUAL? That had to be the most sexual movie I’ve seen in a long time…

And I even learned a new word. *a tee hee*…don’t ask…until you see the movie…and the shirt that was worn.

Still feel like death…sickness is the worst.

Stay up.

May 14th, 2008 Locked In 1 Comment

It seems you hear the phrase “locked out” more than you hear the phrase “locked in”. But guess what…I’m locked in…lol

Today was one of those scheduled power outage days up here in the hills and everyone remembered to get out before 9am except me. When I walked outside, I was wondering why there was an unusual amount of cars parked on the street. People had parked their cars on the street instead of inside their garages because they were smart and had REMEMBERED to do so. Goodness gracious… When the power went out you could hear the mad scramble for cars…as if folks couldn’t live without some form of media…TV, Radio and dare I say it…INTERNET!

Dear sweet baby Jesus…

When I received the flyer, I should have put it on the fridge like I do just about everything else…oy vey. It said that they’d be working on the lines up here and that power would be out from 9am to 5pm. There’s these new luxury townhomes that they’re building next to our development and I think they’re the culprit. They’re also to blame for the “stupid - makes no sense to have this here - everyone ignore it” light that they put at the bottom of the hill.

So I’m locked in until 5pm today…blogging from the blackberry. I guess its okay… I haven’t been feeling too great for the past week or so since SOMEONE is and gave it to me… *points at incog*

Anyways…let me get back to doing nothing…lol… Feels kinda good actually…

Humming: Akon “Locked up”

Update: I walked outside to go get the mail and our manager was walking around just as bored as I was. She said that I could keep calling Southern California Edison to get updates….so I figured…why not? Something to do!

But when I called…they had extended our outage from 5pm to 7pm. WTF?
