RFF February 2010 Outing Arabia Mountain Lithonia Georgia

Total Miles walked: 8 miles

Seriously I need to keep this thing updated more often

You know as I look around to the many blogs I keep around the internet I'm starting to wonder just whom am I doing these updates for and I finally come to realization I'm doing it for me. Of course I would love for people to subscribe to my blog read and comment but honestly it doesn't matter to me. I'm keeping these online journals so hopefully one day I can look back and see some improvement and maybe avoid some of the crap I am going through in my life right now. I have so much going on in my life right now it isn't funny. I'm in the midst of growing my hair out, job hunting since I just finished school, dealing with Brandon (my son) and trying to lose weight and strength training. I'm doing good on all aspects except the job search this is a crazy job market we are in. I mean I am a newly licensed nurse and I can't seem to find work, I'm either going to have to go back to school to further my education or take some bullshit job just to support myself and my son. Hopefully something will come through soon because I don't want to feel like I wasted my time going to school for nursing.

The weight loss journey is exactly what it is a journey. I'm making progress but this is going to be a long road because this is not just a short term solution this is a lifetime commitment.

I'm 2 months post-perm right now not much new growth to speak of, in the midst of trying out different transition styles. I am no where near ready for a BC(Big Chop) Going natural was a big decision for me and I'm thinking it is going to be a good one. I can't even remember what hair looks like unprocessed because I was subjected to this torture at an early age but I am now taking back control of my hair and going to take one day at a time. Who knows this may be a phase or it may turn out to be a lifetime commitment.



As for Brandon, that is going to be a whole other blog by itself he is such a handful but I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Hopefully I will getto post some pictures on the next update until then later.

My Theme Song and New Wake up song

Destiny Child Happy Face


Ah-ah, ah ah-ah, ah ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah....

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

Woke up and realized this world's not so bad after all
Looked at it through a child's eyes, and I saw these beautiful
Things that you never think about
Like the ocean, moonlight, stars and clouds
It's amazing how we don't appreciate our blessings
There's plenty of people who don't like me
But since my mama loves me and I love myself
Sometimes, it gets tough, it gets tough
But I can't give up, can't give up
Just take a deep breath, close my eyes
Feel the love and give a smile

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

It's me, I just wanna be happy
Uh, just be happy, uh, just be happy
Today is the day I am willing to say
I will put all the past behind me, no more enemies
Ready cause (ready cause)
I'm living in this world (living in this world)
I wanna make a change (wanna make a change)
I'm Gonna make a change (gonna make a change)
Put on my happy face

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay
Gonna be alright, everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright, everything's gonna be okay

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

I woke up this morning, the sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able, I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

I woke up this morning with a happy face
I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying
I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying
I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying, I'm flying
Flying, flying....

Before and After

Well today is the start of a new week so I must start it off right. My room is a mess, I need to study and my hair is a whole nother story. My order of things today is to get my room back into working order because I can't be comfortable ina messy space. I need to wash clothes but that is out of the question because the washer machine is out of commision had I known this I would have made a trip down to the laudromat.

It is 12:25pm July 12, 2009 and I am on a mission to not make this an all day expedition especially since i have to study and get mentally prepared for the upcoming school week.

I am posting these pictures because I need a reminder to never let my room getlike this again. I should have unpacked as soon as I got back into town, there is no excuse for this amount of clutter. Time to break out the trash bags because half of this stuff is junk.

---Well there seems to be a problem and I can't upload the pictures at the moment will try again later.

Fireworks at the Taste of Chicago

Happy Fourth of July Everyone!!!!!
Pictures and Videos coming soon.

Gotta Love Chicago

What would have been the point of coming to Chicago and not partaking in the Taste of Chicago. I haven't been in like five years and even though the tickets are a lot more expensive I still have fun. I am glad that someone had the bright idea to move all the vendors off to the sides, I have no idea who thought having the vendors in the middle was the right move. I could actually move through the crowd and not feel claustrophobic.

This was the first time Brandon had been and he loved every minute of it. I'm pretty sure he has never seen that many people in one place at one time. He ate everything I ate but I think his favorite or should I say favorite by far were the sausage pizza from Connies pizza and the chicken wings from Harold's.

BTW for I'm taking up donations for the Brandon needs his own cell phone fund. The boy won't say 2 words when he gets the thing but he just has to have it plastered to his ear at all times. I wonder where he gets his cell phone addiciton from.
