Friday Randoms......

I cheated on my spending hiatus for a $19 lobster and crab burger for lunch yesterday

I have a paper due Sunday and I’ve barely started; the cover sheet doesn’t count.

My youngest niece is having a birthday party tomorrow at Crazy E Cheese, to say I don’t like that place is a GRAVE understatement.

I’ll get to see my other niece tomorrow ‘cause she loves the baby and Crazy E Cheese.

I need a vacation……preferably in the Caribbean somewhere.

I’m really tired.

Hubby agreed to not take a summer vacation this year, I wonder if he’ll change his mind or let me change my mind.

Did I mention I have a paper due Sunday and I haven’t started. I’m such a procrastinator or slacker; maybe a combination of them both.

Next weekend will be a very busy one for me: three parties and a play in one day. How will I manage?

I need to go put the deposit down on my carpet. I said I was a slacker and procrastinator right.

I put this BADAZZ handbag on layaway last week and I can’t wait to get it out. Spring can’t get here fast enough.

I need to find a shoe place to have the heels on my shoes replaced.

I’m hoping my supervisor leaves early today, so I can skip out 10 minutes after him.

Did I mention I gave up drinking?

My high school reunion is coming up in August. I wont say how many years…..LOL, I’m not sure if I’ll go or not.

Dang February is almost over.

That is all……have a good weekend!

You Crave an Important Life



Your dream is to life a live a life that leaves a mark.

You'd like to have a mission or journey to complete, even if it takes years.



You want your life to be meaningful, and having a final goal brings you meaning.

You'd like to accomplish something big, if only to inspire others to believe it can be done.

Glad it's Wednesday!

Yeah, it’s been a few days since I’ve last posted……I take that back I posted Monday so it’s only been a day. At any rate, I got to work yesterday determined to finish this project by the end of the day. Only the network was down when I got to work……so you know what that meant……and then to make matters worse I couldn’t get focused when the network was back up……but I did get the gist of it done before I left work and now I’m determined to get the last portion done by the end of the day.

Hubby and I had dinner last night for restaurant week in DC. We ate at Smith & Wollensky, and it was decent. Of course it would have been better had they had crabcakes on the special menu, oh well I settled for the wild salmon with sautéed spinach and it was so yum!

Did I mention I finally saw Lakeview Terrace with Sam Jackson and Kerry Washington? Yeah I saw it, and I so don’t like to see him play the bad man in movies, likewise for Denzel. I liked to movie well enough.

And of course it got me to thinking what recourse would someone in Kerry’s position have against an arrogant cop as a neighbor.

Last but not least, my spending hiatus…….I was in the house ALL day Monday so no spending there and I spent 65 cents on a bag of dry ashe pretzels yesterday. I don’t anticipate spending anything today.

Happy Hump day!

You Are Flirtatious



You are outgoing, talkative, and incredibly social. You love swapping stories and jokes.

You're optimistic and enthusiastic. You're both good at being a cheerleader and at cheering people up.



You are a very charming person. You make connections easily, and you love harmless flirting.

Sometimes your charm can turn against you. People tend to think you're a better friend than you actually are.

One more day

I'm so glad I have today off......that extra day will surely come in handy in getting some rest.

I've lost count of what day I'm on with spending hiatus.......and well to be truthful, cause I have no reason to lie, it doesn't matter much. I've spent everyday this weekend......

Friday was a birthday gathering for a friend at one of my favorite restaurants......and I had to get a card and a giftcard. So that was $30, and I shared expense with other friends at my table, so that was another $50 and then I needed gas to the tune of $13.

Saturday, I had a few carpet people come out to give estimates then it was off to run some errands. I barely found some thing for my niece. I got a summer outfit for about $13 and then 2 t-shirts from the disney store at $3 each, oh and I picked up a travel mug since it was on clearance for $4. And for Luv-Luv day, I got hubby some stuffed chicken breast and potatoes au gratin from Omaha Steaks. Last errand on Saturday was the grocery for a few things, and well I picked up some sparkling cider and a cake for hubby as well.

Sunday was the surprise birthday gathering for my grandmother. That set me back about $38. Afterwards, I came straight home........

Happy Monday!

A Song

I heard this song on the radio the other day and the lyrics hit me, so I had to post them. The song is by Marvin Sapp entitled Advance Praise.



I’ve had my share of ups and downs,
times when there was no one around,
God came and spoke these words to me,
praise will confuse the enemy.

I started singing,
I started clapping,
I started dancing,
people were laughing,
they knew my problems,
they knew my pain,
but I knew God would take them away.

That’s why I praise him with my hands,
that’s why I praise him with a dance,
He’s given me a second chance,
come on lets praise him in advance.




Peace, Blessings and Laughs
