I am off today and I like it. I wish I was off the whole week. I need a vacation. Since I’m starting the new position in April I must schedule a vacay soon. I went to the doctor this morning and he told me I have to come back Friday. I hope its and in and out appointment bc I have to work at 12pm that day. Anyways, after I saw the doctor I ran some errands, bought some food, and watched Saw II. I had this movie saved on my dvr for a couple of months now. The reason why I didnt watch it sooner was because I was scared :-). But somehow today I had the guts to watch it and it was ok. Looking forward to see Saw III. I heard it was good. But not as good as the first. Well, I am home just chillin and watching ANTM. In a few minutes, I have to cook dinner and lunch for 2morrow. I also bought a lot of fruit too.

-Write to you l8r

you guys I was going to sleep, but not yet. I was watching a taped episode of Oprah and the show was  about “Good News”. There was a pastor on a show who came up with this idea of promoting A Complaint Free World. It sounds like a great idea.

 

How it works is you wear a purple bracelet and if you catch yourself complaining or gossiping then you have to move the bracelet to the other hand. The idea of this game (or whatever you want to call it) is to keep the bracelet on one wrist for at least 21 days. If you complain or gossip, then you have to move the bracelet to the other wrist and and count to 21 days again.

I just ordered two bracelets and a bumper sticker. I also left a donation. Please feel free to visit the website and support this great idea. Thanx

Today was a good day. I didnt spend too much time on the phone today, which was great. And I had my interview and I got the job. The director, who interviewed me, was so impressed, he wanted me to come in the next that they are having in the next couple of weeks. The next class was actually going to be in May. I lucked out. Right now I am just taking it easy because I am off 2morrow. Yes!  .

I am taking the braids out of my hair right now. Most likely I will be done this weekend. I dont want to take out all of my braids because I still have to work Thursday and Friday. I am getting tired now. I have to print out some documents for my doctor’s visit 2morrow. Good nite!

I’ve been up since 8:37 am and I am tried and nervous. Luckily, I slept early last night but I need to go to bed a little earlier. And somehow I can never sleep past 9 am. It’s like once the sun comes up, I wake up. Its upsetting to me because I want to sleep a little later, but I cant. My cat, Brady, is another reason why I cant sleep. She sleeps alot during the day so once I go to bed, she’s ready to have fun. She makes noise and plays with paper and does a lot of crazy ish. And very rarely she sleeps when I sleep. And I just notice recently that my cat snores. I know it’s funny but not for me because I cant sleep. It’s not like my cat sleeps on the floor and I’m on my bed. No, that’s not what happens. Brady sleeps on either my stomach or on my arm and she just snores away. The only reason why I dont kick her out is because she is cute, she pays rent, and she keeps me company. ***I wuv u Brady!*** :-).

I pray the interview goes well. I shouldnt be nervous but I am. I dont know why. Wish me luck!

My day was same as usual. But I find it very interesting that people that I’ve known for so many years, *miraculously* left comments on my blog and sent me an email. I cant believe it. I am not happy about it at all. I had my blog for about 3 1/2 months and now people want to leave me a comment. That’s not right. You know who you are.

Secondly, today was tough. I was very tired and I caught myself dozing off while on the phone, LOL. Anyways, I’m also getting ready for my interview. Good Luck Me! It was also hard to concentrate. I have so much on my mind right now. I just have to pray and start reading my Bible again. I really need God in my life right now.

Finally, my back was hurting me so bad this past Saturday that I had to leave work early. I scheduled an appointment for a chiropractor, this Wednesday, so I hope I dont hear anything bad.

I had a really great time today. It started off rough but everything was great. The only thing I regret was not bringing my camera. I’m so forgot. Anyway, let me tell u what happened…

First of all, Shanna (a friend) planned to meet me at my house at about 12:30 pm. However, she couldnt make it so she had to take the train near her house. Her train was about 15 minutes after my train so I told her to call me when she gets to the city. Once I arrived in NYC, near Penn Station, I decided to walk over to Fifth Avenue then walk down to One Fifth Avenue. Because that’s where Otto Pizzeria is. I didnt think it would be a long walk until I got to Fifth Avenue and I realized it was a long walk.

So I kept walking and Shanna called me and ask where I was because she just arrived at NY Penn Station. I told her I was walking on Fifth and I suggested that she take a cab because if she walked she wont make it to the restaurant in time. So she did and she told me she will call me once she get to Fifth. I kept walking and walking and walking and absorbing NYC. I just love NY. And even though I am walking and getting kind of tired, I didnt mind the walk because I had the chance to  think about everything that has happened in the last couple of days. 

So I’m walking and Shanna calls me and she tells me she’s already there. I was a little confused because she said she was going to call me once she gets to Fifth but its all good. She saw me as I was walking down and I walked across the street to meet her. We found the restaurant and we went inside to meet the others. Otto is a really nice restaurant. As soon as you walk thru the revolving doors, you see a group of people taking part in a wine tasting class. And the restaurant had an Italian feel to it also.

I told the hostess we were here for the Candyce birthday party and she didnt have our reservation. I was a little upset because I could have sworn this was the restaurant Angela (Candyce’s roommate) wanted us to meet at. And the worst thing about everything was that neither Candyce, nor Angela, had a cell phone. So I couldnt confirm the restaurant or anything.  I told Shanna  we should give them five minutes and if no one shows up we will just do our own thing. Five minutes came around and no one came. We later decided to sit at the restaurant and get something to eat. Besides, I never at a restaurant like this before. It was very nice.

We sat and we both ordered white wine and I had the Arugala, Ricotta, and Chile pizza and Shanna ordered the Pepperoni and mushroom pizza. The food was ok. Shanna and I tried to make the best of the situation by just chit chatting and eating ok food. About a half hour later and I see a young lady and a boy who looked a lot like Candyce but I didnt think anything of it. Then the hostess approached us and said that they are here for the Candyce party. I didnt know the girl nor did she know me, but the boy did look like Candyce. The girl was convinced that we may know a different Candyce and I told her I was waiting for Candyce V. She knew who she was too so she shook her head and left. Shanna and I thought she left until about a half hour later she came back with what looked like Candyce mother and her bf. However, they sat at a different table. Then about five minutes later Candyce and Angela crawled in. I was so upset. I was just waiting for their excuse. Then they walked over to my and Shanna’s table and they apologized and they said that the hotel they were staying at clock was one hour off. They actually came in exactly 1 hour and 6 minutes after the schedule time.

Candyce was really bothered by the situation and she really felt bad. I told her it was ok and not to worry since it was her birthday. She eventually got a bigger table where all of us sat, ate and had a great time. I seriously ate until I couldnt eat anymore. Somehow my food tasted better. I guess because I was having a good time. I had more wine, cheese, sweets, more pizza, dessert. Oh man, I messed up my diet in so many ways but it was all worth it. More happened after we left the restaurant, but I am too tired to type everything that happened. All I can say is I am glad I stayed at the restaurant rather than leave because I had a great time and I cant wait until we do it again. Happy Birthday Candyce!!!

Oh yeah, the young lady was Candyce’s older sister, Aisha (sp?) and the young boy was her little brother, Marcus. Shanna took pics so once I get them, I will post them.

I feel great. I just lost dead weight and I am ready to lose more. I am going to live my life. That’s that.

I can not, I refuse, to let this monkey beat me in sit ups. There’s no way. This simian is making me look bad. I have to kick up my workout routine. But doesn’t he, and his partner, look cute?
