T’was the night before Christams part two January 5, 2007
I really didn’t know that I was going to make it a two post segment until… well, two minutes ago when I wrote the first post(duhhh).You know I had to build up your anticipation to keep you coming back time and time again it’s really just a simple ploy that many people use to make money.Take for instance: you don’t continuously buy new books in a series or constantly wait to the next week when your favorite show premieres it’s new episode just because it’s free.No, you keep going back because you want to see what happens next and be able to see the new unfolding dramas that occur.This is why I’ve made you wait this long because I care about……
T’was the night before Christmas… January 2, 2007
T’was the night before Christmas and seemily no one was asleep, nothing was silent, yet everyone was excited ,waiting to see what tomorrow would hold……
Well, as it seems Christmas was nothing like it was before yet it was one of the best I’ve ever had.Lets go over exactly what I’ve got so far: an mp3 player(much wanted), a digital camera,a whole lot of clothes,a revlon ceramic curling iron(the best),Ciara:The Evolution,Beyonce: B’ Day, Gwen Stefani:Love, Angel,Music,Baby and many a dvd player other things.This is why I’ve finally got pictures on my blog as you can see.Now you can see why I want to be a model.The picture above was taken by me while I was lying on the kitchen floor doing my very best to pose and take the picture at the same time.Go ahead and say it: I am just that versatile(the whole model and photographer at the same time thing in case you were wondering),you can also see that someday I’m going to one heck of a model (hint:hint: to all of you who are in “the modeling business”).Ok, enough of that it’s time to get back to Christmas 06′. Lets start with:
Christmas Eve 06′, well as a direct result of a blizzard occuring not that long before one of the biggest shopping days of the year everything was set back and it was a slow day so it wasn’t just shopping it was the planes in and out of town, the highways, the mail, even thats right food.Simple things weren’t on the usually packed, overcrowed shelves like milk, bread, and eggs. We were even out of a few essentials for a few days until very late shipments came in which is probably the direct consequence of peoples panick and… inconsiteration for others.My dad and my aunt ended up going out to finish shopping that day.Altough, this Christmas Eve my aunt let us open some of the presents that she got us early and the presents my other aunt and uncle got us so that there wouldn’t be chaos the next day when everyone opened their presents together(which didn’t end up happening) and so that the next day when she brought the other presents there wouldn’t be as much mess and anticipation.This is why I ended up doing my hair with the curling iron, watching dvds,and listening to my Ciara cd that night and why the kids ended up playing with some of their toys also on that same night.I ended up not being able to go to sleep that night and when I finally did got to sleep I had one of the best nights but, of course that could be attributed to the fact that I really didn’t sleep that long of course this is how it went….
Trapped in a Blizzard!!!part one December 20, 2006
Well, I’ve never been in a blizzard before but, for those who’ve lived here for more than a year are obviously used to it.They even say that leather won’t work in this climate and believe me I have experienced this theory firsthand and it ain’t pretty,so I guess I’ll need another coat (hint:hint).While my dad was still picking up my cousins for school it was freezing cold outside and they weren’t wearing jackets and then when they got in the car they asked him if they could roll down the windows “because they were hot”(now you know black folks don’t like being cold so the heat was blasting).Now, I know for sure that they are crazy because in this same wheather they will have their thermostat on 60 .Thats another reason why living with them just didn’t work for me I mean it was a nice jesture but, while we lived with them I couldn’t quite figure out why I was constantly sick.Diagnoses: no heat in extremely cold wheather.I think the coldest it ever got in Memphis was during that “ice storm” back in like 93′ or something like that.It’s been snowing since very early this morning and it hasn’t stopped once since.It’s a good thing that momma went shopping otherwise we would be just like everyother unprepared person, stuck in traffic or in the snow somewhere trying to get the baby some diapers and some chicken for dinner.It’s also a good thing that I’m out of school for the next few weeks but, as a homeschool student it doesn’t make that much a difference because as I myself have made this crazy list of things to do before 2007′ so my work day seems to almost never end and because of this blizzard I can’t really go anywhere so for now I guess I’m stuck.
So for now the forecast is:Snowing all day long,Extreme winds that could pick up a 35 year-old 300 pound woman while wearing three coats and her usual attire.With a slight chance of me taking a nap and completing a few things on my “extreme list”.

Changes#1 November 19, 2006
As you may know my start in Colorado is off to a rocky start , but that doesn’t stop me from doing my best and hoping for the greater.I guess I could say for the record that “I’ve got a secret that I’m not gonna tell”.Oh, you’ll find out soon enough but, I must say that things are trully looking up for a princess like me I mean I really miss everyone in Memphis but I came here for a change not to sit around moping about what I technically can’t change.I mean I did have the choice of staying there or coming here but, uh, I think I made the right choice.For now atleast for me I think that G-d is really moving on my behalf.I can say for myself that I am trully thankful and I know that G-d has even more instore for me.I guess for now thats all I need to say.
My First Post October 23, 2006
My First Post
I guess it’s a little too late to say that I’m in Colorado. I mean I’ve only been here for a little over a month and I ‘m already just a little tired of my suroundings.Although, I must say that there are some things that I do like about it and they are:
1.The weather:I LOVE IT!!It’s usually really cold in the morning and warm in the afternoon(and plus theres no humidity so my hair doesn’t poof up as much)
2.The Area:It’s way different than what I’m used to (and you don’t see as many “displays” here )
3.Seeing Everyone:It’s so weird seeing everyone that I haven’t seen in years
Question:why does everyone look so much older?
4.Everyones’ changes:There have been a few but, as you know as time will tell somethings will never change.
5.Manifestation has finally come:I can finally go to the store and I can finally buy the things that I’ve wanted for so long I can finaly buy without really thinking about it .
6.Homeschool has intensified:for a person like me I think thats a good thing. I need a little stability in my life.
7.As you may have concluded I don’t think there really is a 7th thing except just being plain thankful for all God has done for me.
