My My Nike Alvord 7 sneakers! are some of my favorite shoes

2010-01-15T16:09:05-06:00

I love all types of shoes. Expensive, inexpensive...as long as they look good...and are comfortable....I'm all good!

My Nike Alvord 7 sneakers!
Right now, they are my favorite shoes because, my arch keeps falling and these feel the best right now...

My UGG Capstone Boots
These are my favorite because its frigid here in the cold, Chi..these boots are very warm and they are water proof..a girl needs these boots while trying to stomp through a mountain of snow!

All stilettos; flip flops and wedges
I love shoes....as long as they look good...I'm in them.

Lake Michigan: Now that's a body of water

2010-01-13T21:55:19-06:00

Summer in the city of Chicago is always buzzing with people who are riding bikes, fishing (if the Asian carp stay away), rollerblading, walking dogs, or simply strolling up and down the shoreline of Lake Michigan.

I've gone to Navy Pier many times to take boat tours on the Lake...the most enjoyable thing to do is stroll along LakeShore Trail.....When I find a comfortable bike seat...I'm gonna ride my bike!

I'd rather see than be seen!

Any one can get attention.... You don't have to be the finest woman on the block for someone to take notice!
Have you ever noticed that woman standing near the subway exit with the mumbling obscenities to herself while adjusting the pigeon feathers that sticking out hair. Or what about that poor little rich party girl, whose so drunk, she takes her thong underwear off to use it to hold her hair back while she vomits up the only thing she has in her stomach for the entire day-->LIQUOR.

I'm an introvert. I sometimes call myself, the "Anti-Social, Social-Butterfly". Don't get it twisted though, when I want attention I know how to get it;)

I NEED BACON!!!!

2010-01-11T19:45:10-06:00

Forget the LETTUCE & TOMATO, I just want the bacon!

I NEED BACON!!!!
Okay...I love bacon! If I want to keep my figure, I need to lay off of the pork, but it keeps calling my name! I can eat it the entire day if I choose to, but I don't...four pieces is the max. Bacon is the best breakfast food.

The road from Crete, IL to Crete, IL is scary

2009-11-24T18:28:26-06:00

Backwoods....scary

I was at an overnight stay at a family members house because it rained really hard the night before and I was concerned about driving in the rain late at night....So, I get up the next morning and it has FLOODED terribly...water was everywhere, its was very frightening! Anyway...I had to leave because I was a host at my aunt's 25th wedding anniversary so I had to try to leave.

I get into my MUSTANG...note I capitalized Mustang because I knew when I drove up that my car was no match for all of that water, but nonetheless, I did the "dummy move" anyway....

My 12-year old cousin and I were driving through the back roads because the main roads were closed off...when I say secluded...OMG! It was secluded! I had no cell phone services!

I was literally driving on a tight road in the middle of a cornfield! I was lost! Didn't have a clue where I was going...I was waiting for that little boy in that movie, Children of the Corn to come out at any second....

Then...I find a road....so, I think...cool...a way out, then I approach a body of water, at first glance it looks like I can make it, but when I get close...the water is up to grill to my car, so I decide to back out....

As I'm sitting there cussing to myself, I look to my right and I see the tall, stringy-haired man with boots that came up over his knees, and a raincoat...he was soaked! When he saw me he stopped and stared…

People...he had an axe in his hand!

Needless to say I freaked the "eff" out! I tried to back out as fast I could....I then turned around and hauled ass outta there!

I looked in the rear-view mirror he was chopping something off that was in the yard...I felt embarrassed....lol

Popeye's Chicken would make a decent Thanksgiving dinner

2009-11-24T17:37:16-06:00

I'm gonna eat regardless!

If I couldn't spend Thanksgiving day with my family, or if I didn't want to cook myself, I'd go straight to Popeye's Chicken because they are da bomb! (That definitely depends on the certain franchises though.) There is nothing wrong with a 3-piece wing, or more if 'm feeling greedy that day! Some cajun fries on the side will be FIRE, then if I'm really feeling gluttonous, I'd get a sweet potatoe pie! But knowing me, I wont' stop there...I'd probably head to someone else's house soon after and get my eat on!

There's BLUE DIAMOND Honey Roasted Almonds in my pantry

2009-10-22T17:55:02-06:00

BLUE DIAMOND Honey Roasted Almonds
I can't stop eating them. I needed something sweet, but not too sweet, my goal is to stay away from the love of my life for awhile (chocolate). I'm pretty sure, I've defeated the purpose because I nearly done with the whole container.

Flamin Hots
I looooooooooooove Flamin Hots. I sometimes think I'm too old to be eating them because I have red stuff all over my thumb and index finger.

Chips AHoy chewy cookies
There really good....

I've been told I resemble Mary J Blige

2009-10-21T20:43:14-06:00

Mary J Blige is fly...she's my homegirl (in my mind). She's one of my favorite celebrites...

"Mary J. Blige", "Blige"

I've been told many times that I resemble Mary J. Blige..I can't see it, but every since I was in high school I would hear that! I can't say that I want to look like any celebrity...although if I could pick and choose certain features, I'd probably do that...

Boom Chicka Boom Boom wakes me up in the morning:)

2009-10-19T19:32:47-06:00

Ah yes....a good ole fashion ...oh, I was dreaming people...MY SON WAKES ME UP IN THE MORNING! First, his alarm clock blasts...then he slams cabinets...he runs water for an eternity...then the scent of his TAG or AXE, travels downstairs to burn my nostrils....then he runs/stumbles down the stairs to BARELY catch the school bus---every morning!

So, if you haven't guessed...its not so invigorating! Lol

My Sista!!!!! She makes me tick!

2009-10-18T17:10:31-06:00

I used to think that money was a motivator, but as I grew up....I've come to realize...as the great, Notorious B.I.G. would say..'mo money...mo problems." The more you have the more un-deserving people tend to surround you...hate on you...or just plain hate you....lol...

For real...money is a good motivator, but for me...doing something that I love motivates me a lot....helping someone work through something, gives me motivation to keep doing good...

My family....they need me....that's my motivation......right now...today...my sister (may she overcome the sickness that ails her) she needs me a lot....she motivates me to keep moving because despite her illness...she gets up...dusts herself off and she still takes care of her family....she doesn't feel sorry for herself....She keeps going until she can't go anymore...then she calls....she motivates me....

My sister and God...they know my secrets!

2009-10-07T16:33:03-06:00

I wouldn't tell nobody but God...it'll kill my momma! Lol

My younger sister
My sister is very trustworthy. I don't have many secrets, but if there is anything that she doesn't know...the only other somebody I would tell would be God because everyone else I know are blabbermouths!

Whenever I see Wonder Woman, I long to be a kid again

2009-10-06T16:33:46-06:00

There were so many things I had to be grateful for as a child...despite some very unfortunate circumstances...I loved being a kid!

Wonder Woman

I wish I was a kid again....

the summers seemed to be longer,

getting wet under the fire hydrant...no pools where I lived..take that back..there was a community pool, but the rumor was it had poop floating in it so I didn't wanna go! lol

Italian Ice from Taylor Street

Push Ups from the Roosevelt the Icecream man.

penny candies and cheese doodles

steel roller skates

jump rope competitions

Boys....chase the girls....lol

Just some of the things I used to love....

life wasn't full of worries...
wasn't filled with death...at least in my child's mind everything is fine
People were respected to a certain degree....
Imagination was my greatest friend when I was a kid....

My altergo when I was a child was Wonder Woman...
I imagined picking up cars and tossing them in the air...I especially wanted to toss one on my arch enemies LaTanya and Ursula, they were mean:(

I would ride my bike through the hood and pretend I could rescue people...true story, I once rescued a cat that was locked inside of a cabinet that was put out for trash....It felt good man...

When I didn't wanna go outside I read my Piggly Wiggly books and all of the other great books I had...

AROUND 7th grade...I discovered boys...damn! lol

I love those jeans!

2009-09-18T17:57:45-06:00

My favorite pair of jeans are screaming...give me a d**n break lady! These jeans have been good to me...I've washed them over and over again, and they still have the same fit! The color has faded terribly, but who cares! I love them!

If I could be in any band, I'd join The Revolution

2009-08-31T09:49:21-06:00

As long as I can wear tight pants and rock mega-huge hair, I'm sining up to be in The Revolution! (with Prince)

Did you not see the movie Purple Rain????? That movie was the fly-est! I would have loved to be drummer-chick or a base player....I want to be in my heels, while Prince is in his heels and we both are rockin' out front and center in front of a packed stadium! (Naw...I'm not NEARLY that brave, I'm just frontin' for the prompt) LOL....

Don't be a goofy...keep moving!

2009-08-26T18:16:37-06:00

I know you don't want my number, but you might wanna use it when your man f***s up!
Okay...I was @ a gas station in Joliet, IL...I was a little irritated because my son had to use the restroom no less than 5 minutes after I pulled off from the place where we were...anyway, this 'fuddy-duddy' looking guy tells me..." I see that you gotta ring on yo' finger, so I'm gonna give you my number when yo; man f***ks up...(I'm stunned right, cuz I wouldn't have given this 'bumbling idiot' my number if I was fat, single, and celibate! Lol...(no disrespect to anyone), anyway, so I tell this 'goof ball' (very nicely) that I can't accept his number, he proceeds to tell me that ...'your man is gonna take advantage of you, so when it doesn't work out...you'll have my number on the side'...( I almost wanna whip my son's pee-pee out so he can heat up this 'dumb-dumb's leg...just kidding..but he was holding me up)...ok, so by this time, I'm trying by best to be rude, but his force field is too strong, he doesn't get my rude behavior so I ultimately walk off....

3 minutes later....

I'm leaving the gas station bathroom and this 'lame-o' is still at it...he walks to his car, writes down his number, drives over to my car, and TOSSES IT IN! Can you say...INFLATED EGO! Lol...I thought I was shocked before, but nothing prepared me for that (if you are thinking was I scared...naw, I wasn't worried...had mace and a hammer...I was gonna wear the top of his big a** head out if he woulda tried something..for real) anyway...as he was preparing to drive off...he told me this...'oh, by the way, this is not my car I'm driving...my boy wanted to use my car...then he holds up his cell phone to show me a pic of 'his truck' with the OVERLY BIG rims that I was supposed to be impressed by...lol...

He had this look on his face like he just SCORED! I was confused...I sat back, locked my doors and started cracking up...his musta have bumped his head on the way or something....

I don't know...I lookin back, I'm trying to figure out...what kinda impression I gave this 'narsissistic-clown' to make him think that I showed any interest in him! LOL...

Africa, here I come

2009-08-26T00:10:45-06:00

I've never been to Africa before, but it is definitely high on my list...it's also not the last on my list! I want to go for many reasons...one reason being, I'd like to go to Kenya or Tanzania to experience a safari (a safe one:)), I'd also to vist Mount Kilimanjaro while I'm there..(I think its in Tanzania too...lol), once in my lifetime, I'd like to be facing off with one of the grandest mountains in the world...BUT, I'm too chicken, and weak to climb it...lol.
A visit to Africa wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Pyramids of Giza! Seeing the pyramids..experiencing the mystery and wonder, is definitely one of my life long dreams!
Most importantly, I'd like to experience the people and the culture....,
Maybe one day, I'll get there...I hope so soon, one of my closest friends is from Senegal; I'm very excited about meeting her family one day!

Take me out to The United Center

2009-08-11T20:30:16-06:00

I saw a Chicago Bulls Game....I had a wonderful time....Unfortunately it wasn't during a championship game though...

Relaxing on a Sunday!

2009-08-10T16:03:11-06:00

Sunday is usually the day when I tend to wind down...Friday is the end of the work week, so I'm usually trying to get into something with the family, so I've usually had enough by Saturday night, and I looking forward to a relaxing day on Sunday...

Follow my rules or get out!

2009-08-10T00:17:17-06:00

Its really no fun in a secret fort, if you have too many rules...so follow these simple rules and we'll get along fine!

Before you enter my fort, take your shoes off, and keep your socks on!
Socks, or any type of foot covering is mandatory...I don't wanna see your feet...especially if your toes are jacked up...I have an exception with baby and toddlers feet, but once you reach 6...socks stay on!

No Grown-Folk Whiners, will be allowed entrance into the fort!
My fort is secret to get away from the constant, whining....'outrage','controversy' and other babbling bullcrap I hear everyday...so if you need to whine...do it on your time not mine.

NO Cheaters!
You ain't using my fort as a secret love nest...point blank...that's all I have to say about that:)

If you tinkle, please don't sprinkle!
Don't pee on my damn toliet! Clean that mess up if it happens ladies...WTF!

When I'm a multi-millionaire, some Taj Mahal is in order

2009-08-06T17:43:31-06:00

Taj Mahal at dawn

The first thing I'd do is pay off my house, then the rest off my student loans and any other debt...then I'd take a carefree vacation around the world, I'd be sure to visit Eygypt, South Africa, Senegal, and Nigeria, and Botswana; I'd like to visit the Taj Mawhal, maybe go over to Italy and visit the Vatican Museum...
There are so many things I'd like to do, so many places I like to go...
After I have a good time, I like to do something for kids in need...sounds corny, but I do....

I wish I'd been there for College

2009-08-02T16:40:34-06:00

Keble College, Oxford

I somewhat regret not going away to college...I never got the experience because of some issues that popped up in my life at that time...although, I was able to attend and finish, I never got the experience to go away.

I go from Chicago, IL to Crete, IL frequently because I have no friends where I live

2009-07-19T10:36:02-06:00

I have no friends where I live so I have to travel to see my relaives....I need to see them so that I can have some "socialization time" ...

I make this trip on average 3 times a week....I have hardly any friends besides my family :(, so I go to visit my mom, sister, and grandmother....

You said I did....but, I KNOW I DIDN'T!

2009-07-18T19:10:36-06:00

It's so hard to apologize for something that I didn't do! I rather give up, "call the fight fixed" before I have to apologize for something that I don't feel I'm wrong about. That's the worst....

On the other hand, I'm a "self-proclaimed sucka" I don't like hurting people's feelings...even when I'm right. So, if someone decides to bawl thier eyes out for something that I've done or said I will apologize for hurting their feelings, but not for something I didn't do...

If that makes sense....

Hey Aliens...you might wanna bypass Englewood...

2009-07-17T23:59:00-06:00

I don't know if this is really an idea, but it is a word of advice...I'd tell the group that'ts going back to their planet, to tell their other alien homies who are gonna come to stay away from the Southside of Chicago, particulary, Englewood neighborhood....it's just not safe for an alien (or police) these days!

Mankind is on the fritz!

I'll get around to messy closet one of these days

2009-07-15T18:02:55-06:00

Before Closet Mate 2

I've been avoiding cleaning my closet! I've accumulated so many clothes and shoes....

'Grind House' was a scary movie

2009-07-15T17:34:15-06:00

Bubbles, Bubbles Go Away!!!!

Those damn bubbles on the zombies faces...I'm creeped out thinking about it! I have this thing called TRYPOPHOBIA...its this fear (more like an irritation for me) of tiny cluster of holes or bubbles). Honeycombs, antholes, cracks in dirt...are only some of the things that drive me nuts!
This movie was unbearable for me to because of those damn bubbles! I can watch blood, gore, stabbings, slicing, guts and everything...but tiny holes and clusters ---give me the creeps!

A gift from Border's Books wouldn't be bad

2009-07-13T21:09:39-06:00

I love to read....a good book is the perfect gift for me...I'm really Indecisive when it comes to telling someone what I want anyway....but a book no matter what the topic, will usually get some type of "read" out of me.
