It’s so amazing how, as you grow and get older…you still seem to learn new things every day.

I wish I knew what God had planned…

That would make the days a little easier…maybe….or maybe not.

What else do I have to do?

*patience is a mind killer…it is a little evil that….*

It was a pretty good weekend. Every Cali black greek knows about Long Beach Step Show weekend…so it’s usually a pretty big event with lots of folks you haven’t seen in years…or at least since the year before.

I haven’t been since 2004, so it was good to hang out with folks for a little bit.

We’ve been in the game for 6 years….7 on 4/20, and wow…it just doesn’t seem like it’s been that long…

I feel kind of old.

What’s interesting is that nothing’s really changed in the past few years. I still feel like I’m at “home” with my girls whenever we’re together… even if it’s been a few months, or years for that matter.

As we get older, I hope that doesn’t change…while we all have our lives outside of the organization, and everyone is pretty much in different cities and states…there’s no place like home.

I know that no matter where I go…whether it be Seattle or Butte, Montana…when we get together, it’ll be like we never left and we were never separated.

My quest to figure out what God wants me to do…where God wants me to go…is never ending. I believe I’m headed in the right direction…I hope that I’m headed in the right direction…

The road probably won’t be an easy one…but I’m down for the road trip…

One thing’s for sure…there will be No Kat Ass Ness *lol*

Have a great week.

Stay Blessed!

“Failure to Plan” Comic from the Penny Arcade.

In watching Big Brother last night, I cringed when Ryan won the power of veto. I wanted James to get the Power of Veto so bad…I don’t think that Ryan really deserves it. I mean, yes…he’s part of “Team Christ”, but I still don’t think he deserves it. Something about him…

The conversation that Sharon and James had about feeling as though they failed someone made me think…

I think we set out a lot of times trying to do the best things for ourselves and for others…and when things don’t go our way, we feel as though we failed someone. You can’t really say that it was due to a failure to plan… because God had/has a plan of his own… No amount of planning that you can do would compare to the plan that God already has set in place…

I wonder what God’s plan is for me…

I’ve been running running running for the past 3 weeks and I kinda feel like…it’s all starting to come to a head. I tried sleeping in this morning, but that didnt go over too well because now my body is used to being up so early. ha ha!

Everything’s going well though. I completed the things that I set out to do, and was able to meet some great people in the process.

I’m just praying that God will help me to keep up this momentum…and allow me to get some sleep every now and then.

I think I’ll work on one project today and pass out after a little while. Take some me time…

How have you guys all been? I know I’ve been slacking on posting…

I hope that all is well! Stay Blessed!

I guess as soon as I start to excel in one area, I slack off in another…*sigh*.

I haven’t really had a chance to post in a few days. My bad. This week is flying by so fast. I feel like it was just. Sunday.

Random Thoughts for Wednesday:

• Thank God for Lysol wipes…
• Who ever thought choosing a paint color for an office would be so damn hard?
• I forgot Flavor of Love (Season 3) had already started.
• There are so many interesting people in the blogosphere…and I’m glad to have a good mix of acquaintances.
• God’s an awesome God…
• Time to get back on track with my training program. Hopefully I can get my body on a new schedule once I get the office setup and get used to driving to an office every morning. Maybe waking up at 5am is going to be the key to still being able to hit the gym in the morning. I’ll just have to take an earlier cycling class.
• I’m looking for a heavy flash programmer for contract work. If you know anyone, have them email me.

A new episode of The Gauntlet III is about to come on…must go.

Hope that you had a Happy Hump Day!

You know how when you don’t have anything good to say…

And they say you shouldn’t say anything at all?

That’s where I’m at…with that.

The weekend was good…no complaints there. Incog and I chilled pretty much all weekend. Yay.

I can’t wait for summer to get here…I like the beach…and the pier…and the promenade…and…just…relaxing outside.

I have some meetings this morning. but I managed to fit in a 1/2 hour gym session.

Alright, God…let’s go…

It feels good to be getting back on track with my physical activity and healthy eating.

Bootcamp starts tomorrow morning. Whatcha know about it!? Returning Bootcampers got a discount on this session, so I was alllll over it. Trust and believe.  Hmm? Discount? *shoots credit card hand up in the air*

I’m not really a CHEF, but with Incog’s help, I’ve been trying. Mainly because it means that we’re not going to be eating out a lot…and that means, less calories, and less fat, and less of a nasty feeling in the morning. I made chicken tacos last week and I must admit…*wipes self down*…I did pretty darn good. I’m thinking about making some nice grilled chicken breast tomorrow night…mmm. Mouth’s watering already.

I’m on a mission. Let’s go. Wednesday Weigh-In is coming up, and I’m feeling kind of excited. lol. woo hoo!

So, who’s doing Wednesday Weigh-In? BGood? ADot? What’s the dealio?

Flashback Photo…this was taken just before my birthday…in 2004. Two years ago. God….I want my little body back…

Well…I think everything is on track for my party next Friday. I think….. Evite has been sent..25 “Yes” responses. Things seem to be going OK. :thumbsup: Bri’s flying in from New York, and pretty much all the folks that i want to be there *besides a few out of towners* will be there. even Shaun and Kim are coming. I dont know if Jenny will be there, but I HOPE so…things have been really good between us lately. Love my cousin to death. But anyways, no complaints here.

I got a lot of errands done today, so I was happy about that. And now…..now i just feel like relaxing.

I forgot to post the photos of the stuff that I got from the WONDERFUL seller on Ebay.

I’m gonna go watch The First 48 on A&E with Incog. I think I’ve missed like…half of it already….and that’s not cool. Love that show…
Happy Friday!

Stay Blessed.

*sigh* I did my *hugs and kisses* today…took me a few hours, but I got them done. Check ur mail.

I managed to wrap up an 8 page Discovery Paper, request some documents from a few PhD Programs, and even managed to get all my work done for my conference call tomorrow. *tosses hands up* What ya got next God? I’m READY! :pray:

As you know from my previous post, I released a new Website. I got tired of urbanweblogs. It was too hard to keep up with. At least with this new website, I have some help and I have more of an idea of what I want to do with it, and where i want it to go. So if you have a blog, go ahead and get it listed! :thumbsup: I hope that UrbanBlackboard.com becomes a good Urban Blog/Site Directory. I hope that if you see a site on the net and you think that it’s hot and it’s got a good design, you’ll add it to UrbanBlackboard.com. Get Listed!

In ANY case, it’ll be Wednesday in a few hours, and I’m already READY for the weekend. lol On a good note, it seems like the weeks are speeding by.

The Other Sister came on TV tonight and I damn near spilled my protein shake. That’s one of my favorite movies. That…and Rain Man. :blush: Shutup. I even convinced Incog to sit down and watch the last part with me. :kiss: I mean really…what more could a girl ask for?

Welp….I hope you guys have a good Hump Day tomorrow…I’ll try to post before Saturday…but you know me…

Stay Blessed.

What’s REALLY going on?

Just browsing the internet, you can really learn alot about the state of black women today….

It kills me when I see black women down talking eachother and their “skills” on the internet. And what makes it worse is that it’s usually the cute/pretty black women. Don’t they realize that they make themselves look sooo bad when they do that? When they bring up GOD in their biographies…and how much He has done for them, but in the next breath…talk about how they’ll do this or that to their boyfriends…. :shocked: Have some dignity…or at least keep it to yourself, so as to not make the black women who ARE trying to do something with their lives look bad.

In the words of my pRHOphyte…if you’re feeling offended, remain that way.

sad state of affairs. sad state of affairs.

It’s Sunday. we just got back from Church. I’m going to go into the living room and watch some football with incog….some of these girls gimme headaches. lol

• Sidenote: I think i’ve narrowed down my choices of programs for my PhD. Keep me in your prayers.

stay Blessed. :pray:
