Stay Tuned
I have misplaced my camera but when I find it I plan to post some of my latest scrapbooking projects....Stay Tuned.
It's Been A Long Time
Well, now that I've recovered from the back flips--a harsh reality set in. My widget stopped working and I wanted a simpler, cleaner background for the blog. I'm not sure that this is better, but the other one was too busy for the look I'm trying to convey. I must also apologize to everyone because I haven't done any of what I set out to do with this blog. I plan to do better from now on. Let's keep our fingers crossed. In the meantime, here are 25 Random Things about me since I was tagged on my FB page. Enjoy them!
Finally 25 Random Things About meYesterday at 12:07pm
1. I kiss my daughter every chance I get & every morning when I strap her into the car seat. I want her to always know she is loved and cherished by me.
2. As a kid I used to sneak and eat lotion. Jergens and Avon Moisture Rich were my faves and my daughter licks her arms every time I put Avon lotion on her. Dear God, I've marked her.
3. My family always told me I was fat all through out my childhood and especially in High School. Now that I really am fat I think...I'll take 11/12, 13/14 version of fat over this size all day long.
4. I have no rhythm. I can do the 2 step only when someone with rhythm is standing close by but let another rhythmless person get near me and it throws salt in my game every time.
5. When I go to the movies it's not beyond me to carry a big pocketbook and fill it with .25 cent hood chips and C&C orange soda to wash it down. Don't act like y'all don't know. Movie popcorn is expensive--Holla if u hear me.
6. My favorite color is blue.
7. My favorite artist is Mary J. Blige. I once took a day off work to go see her at Rockefellar Center NBC free summer stage concert. (Her tickets r expensive 2!!) I got there around 8 am only 2 find out otr people started arriving around 3 am so they were on the front row, but a security guard took pity on me and took me up to the side of the stage. I was looking at her profile but I was so close I could touch her. LOL
8. Don't tell DYFS but twice I fell asleep with my daughter in the infant swing all night. She wouldn't stop crying and that swing worked magic for both of us.
9. I hate to cook. My best meals are those in the crock pot because u throw it all in and walk away & leave it for 6 to 8 hours. That's what's up.
10. I have to concentrate on looking people in their eyes. I do find that I mostly look people in their mouth. I attribute it to lousy hearing. I don't read lips but I do follow the conversation better that way.
11. I have to concentrate even harder if the person has a jacked up mouth. Missing teeth I can fluctuate, but a mouth that is rotting before my eyes is like a bad Horror Show that I can't tear my eyes away from as I try to suppress the "Why" in my throat. Dental & Medical benefits should be free to all who need them. All jokes aside it's crimminal that our country makes it so expensive for people to afford these basic but necessary services.
12. I am addicted to Scrapbooking. I love taking pictures of my little one and I wish I had a Nikon SLR camera like my brother's fiance--hint! hint!
13. I love the Lord. I am an ordained Evangelist in my church. I often don't tell people because as a Christian there are things I struggle with every day. I come up short. I miss the mark. I struggle to forgive myself and others.
14. I have road rage. I hate to be cut off and I will go out of my way to cut you back off. I hate to drive behind a space cadet (someone who drives with 5 space lengths between them and the next car) and I have literally been run off the road on 3 separate occasions. Twice by New Yorkers...hmmm wonder what that means?
15. My favorite food is Italian and I least care for Thai and Indian cuisine.
16. My brother and I watched entirely 2 much TV as kids. I still quote Bugs Bunny, I can still remember all the words to the Enjoli perfume commercial and the Indian Chief with the 1 lonely tear coming down his face made me sad :-(
17. I once got fired from a job for paraphrasing Bugs Bunny. A manager was working my nerves so I asked my co-worker should I slap her now or wait til we went home and she said, 'Slap her now! Slap her now' and I said 'O no, this time we wait til we get home'. She overheard the whole thing. She said I threatened her and had security escort me out of the building.
18. I love interior decorating although it's not my talent. I love reality tv home shows like Trading Spaces, Extreme Makeover and all things HGTV.
19. I was more terrifed during the 2003 black out than I was during 9/11. I worked in NY during both but 9/11 was surreal. I saw it on TV but I wasn't close by. After 9/11 when the black out happened it made me wonder if 9/11 was happening again so I was way more panicked. I couldn't get home & I had to sleep at my job.
20. If I new at age 20 the things I know now at age 37 I would be hoarse from screaming at myself: "NO! STOP! RUN FORREST! RUN!!!
21. I can't listen to music by 50 cent...especially 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'. It gave me commuter rage. I was hostile, pushing people on the train, letting the doors close on them. I would get to work all amped up. I had to let it go.
22. My favorite game as a child was Hop Scotch. I tried to play last summer with my daughter and the burning in my chest was indescribable.
23. My mom is my best friend. I love her. We shop together, vacation together, fall out with one another and still come back the next day and be friends.
24. I would love to travel to Italy, Australia, and the Canary Islands. I still need to get a passport and I've already been to Jamaica, Mexico, Florida, and Vegas.
25. I so love to shop. I can tear a mall down. My brother & I were in the malls since b4 we could walk. Until this day my whole family can shop anyone under the table and quiet is kept my brother can out shop his fiance.
