Mismatched - AGAIN!

Ok, so I get dressed and head out the door this morning only to get in the car and look down and see I have on grey slacks with blue pinstripes instead of brown slacks with blue pinstripes. Now you might wonder why this makes a difference, well I pulled out brown socks and brown shoes and lastly threw on my brown coat. I just knew I was looking good…….until I got in the car. ARGH!

Hey Blog World......

Things have been crazy with me.....and it seems the free and spare time I do have is spent reading and commenting on other blogs thereby neglecting my blog. A shame, I know........

This past week has been really off....let's see if I can recap.......so Monday was a holiday of which I pretty much did nothing. Tuesday was back to work and cramming since we were off for practically all last week due to enormous amount of snow that fell here in the DMV. Wednesday came and went very quickly. Then Thursday was the homegoing services for a girlfriend that passed. And now here we are Friday night.

I had a many of things I wanted to blog about but never got around to joting down the ideas. So back to the drawing board.

At any rate, I wanted to peek in and say hey and let me see if I can try to work in more blogging!

Have a great weekend!

2010 - My Vision Board

Some girlfriends and I were discussing things we wanted to accomplish this year. And one of them mentioned her vision board. I’d heard/saw numerous blogs talking about vision boards and planned on doing one myself. So said girlfriends and I have all decided to each do one as a way of putting our desires out in the universe.

So I’m trying to think what all I want on my vision board. I came across some interesting articles. And in an effort to plan out my vision board I need to figure out a theme and what all I want my vision board to entail.

These are some things I’ll include:
*a graduate in cap and gown – cause yall KNOW the sista is doing the walk and graduating in May!
*a couple with a child – cause this is the year I’m claiming the start of a family.
*a new home – complete with furniture

Those are the three main areas I want to focus and concentrate on mostly. Maybe I should put something up there pertaining to paying off my credit card debt.

At any rate google actually has some samples:

Fwd: CLEANING HOUSE FOR 2010

Last Week I threw out worrying, it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me; I couldn't do things God's way.

I threw out a book on MY PAST(Didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today.

I threw out hate and bad memories,(Remember how I treasured them so)?
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too, threw out the one from long ago.

Brought in some new books too, called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I might, I think and I ought.

WOW, you should've seen the dust.
I ran across an OLD FRIEND, I hadn't talked to in a while.
His name is GOD the Father, and I really like His style.
He helped me to do some cleaning and added some things Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE,Yes... I placed them right on the shelf.

I picked up this special thing and placed it at the front door.
I FOUND IT- it's called PEACE.. Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place.

For things like Worry and Trouble there just isn't any space.
It's good to do a little house cleaning,Get rid of the things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter; maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.

BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!!

May the Lord open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that You will not have room enough to receive it all.

May the Lord bless you exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever Hope for.

Peace, Blessings and Laughs

2009 Resolutions review

So the top of last year (2009) I posted these as some of my New Year resolutions and how I faired with each:

*Savings – I started this some months ago, so I plan to continue and attempt to step it up a notch if possible. I stayed on top of this, I can honestly say with each paycheck I transferred money to two accounts one of which I would have to walk in a branch to withdraw money. Yay me!

*Paying down/off debt – I have one store credit card and Visa with a measly balance I’d like to completely pay off. And with shear determination and some self discipline I can do them both in one year. Then I’ll be able to concentrate on my mastercard and student loans. I actually paid off the store credit card back in April/May and haven’t used it since. And I am happy to report I paid off the Visa as well. But sadly, I ran the balance back up.

*Hair maintenance – I wear a pony tail entirely too frequently, so I’m gonna commit to a better hair care regimen. I faired just ok with this resolution. I found a few styles that required little to no manipulation and sported those styles a few times, but of course the ponytail was present at least once a month…….not bad at all.

*Home Projects – new windows, new ceiling fan, new living room lighting, new carpet downstairs. I actually did very well here, I got new lighting in the living room and both bedrooms with ceiling fans. Additionally, I got that new carpet. The windows are the next thing to work on.

*Healthy living – I’d like to lose at least 15 pounds and exercise at least twice a week. I understand that by exercising the weight loss might turn to weight gain because muscles, but I’m cool with that, better fab than flab. Additionally, I’d like to increase my fruit and vegetable intake and cut down on the snacking. Man did I do poorly with this one. As opposed to losing that 15 pounds, I’m positive I gained it. URGH…….

*School – maintain focus to finish in December. I am happy to report that I maintained focus and I’m a final exam away from completing my last class. A local snow storm caused my final exam to be rescheduled to Jan 9, 2010……so wish me luck!

*Hobbies – take some classes for professional development as well as fun. I’d really like to take a class in cake decorating and banking & investing. Aw, heck naw……..this was a big fat fail.

*Reading – expand my reading selections; my personal reading preference is fiction by African American authors, well I’d like to expand to include self-help (personal finance) and mystery. Another big fat fail. I did continue my reading between semesters, but I stuck with the usual.

*Living – this year I’ve been much of a homebody, sitting around awaiting invitations to go out and be about. Well in 09, I aint having it. If I have to hit up happy our all by my lonesome, well I’ll do just that. I want to get out more; after all I have one life to live, so I might as well live it. Tomorrow is not promised people! I did get out and about more this year…..I hung out with some junior high friends as well as high school friends. I even went to see a band play twice, LOL. I connected with some NSU buddies and went to see them.

Overall, I’d say I did just ok with my new years resolutions. Needless to say 2010 is an opportunity to step it up. And I shall do just that………

I can’t do it…….

So I planned to watch the TV show Trauma tonight on NBC and while the first 13 minutes held my attention, I had to change the channel.

Ok, let me back up with some history/additional personal information. Back in 2001 I was on a road trip with my grandmother and three young cousins going to visit my aunt and uncle in North Carolina. My aunt who lives in Cali even flew in for the week as well…….we had a lovely week of relaxation. On the way home just as we get vicinity of home, we crashed. The accident was near fatal. My grandmother (maternal) who was the front passenger was fine, the oldest cousin in the back had a broken leg or ankle and another cousin had a ruptured spleen.

I had the worse and most severe injuries of everyone in the car. I suffered a concussion and a serious neck injury. My neck injury was at a level just above paralysis. I have no recollection of the accident.

And because of this I’m a bundle of nerves when I’m the passenger in a car and when I see accidents, in person or on tv. So back to the show……….dude was driving and texting on the highway and cuts off a gas truck and just about runs into the back of a SUV when he swerves and runs into the concrete median. He’s hit by another car and so begins the ripple affect of a major highway accident involving multiple cars and injuries.

I’m damn near in tears after seeing the crash. So I had to turn……..I’ll probably turn back, but it is so hard to see automobile accidents.

Yeah, I turned back and the show was actually pretty decent. I think I’ll tune in next week. I’ll cover my eyes for any car crashes.

Fwd: The Strong Black Woman is Dead...

A friend/classmate shared this on facebook. I think it is so powerful and moving. So you know I had to post/share here on my blog.

The Strong Black Woman is Dead...

On September 14, 2009, at 11:05 p.m.,
while struggling with the reality
of being a human instead of a myth,
a strong black woman passed away.

Medical sources say she died of natural causes,
but those who knew her know she died
from being silent when she should have been screaming,
milling when she should have been raging,
from being sick and not wanting anyone to know
because her pain might inconvenience them.
She died from an overdose
of other people clinging to her
when she didn't even have energy for herself.
She died from loving men who didn't love themselves
and could only offer her a crippled reflection.
She died from raising children alone
and for not being able to do a complete job.
She died from the lies her grandmother
told her mother and her mother told her
about life, men & racism.
She died from being sexually abused as a child
and having to take that truth
everywhere she went every day of her life,
exchanging the humiliation for guilt and back again.
She died from being battered
by someone who claimed to love her
and she allowed the battering to go on
to show she loved him too.
She died from asphyxiation,
coughing up blood from secrets
she kept trying to burn away
instead of allowing herself
the kind of nervous breakdown she was entitled to,
but only white girls could afford.
She died from being responsible,
because she was the last rung on the ladder
and there was no one under her she could dump on.
The strong black woman is dead.

She died from the multiple births
of children she never really wanted
but was forced to have
by the strangling morality of those around her.
She died from being a mother at 15
and a grandmother at 30 and an ancestor at 45.

She died from being dragged down
and sat upon by UN-evolved women posing as sisters.
She died from pretending
the life she was living
was a Kodak moment instead of a 20th century,
post-slavery nightmare!
She died from tolerating Mr. Pitiful,
just to have a man and the house.
She died from lack of orgasms
because she never learned
what made her body happy
and no one took the time to teach her
and sometimes, when she found arms
that were tender, she died
because they belonged to the same gender.
She died from sacrificing herself
for everybody and everything
when what she really wanted to dow
as be a singer, a dancer, or some magnificent other.
She died from lies of omission
because she didn't want
to bring the black man down.
She died from race memories
of being snatched and raped
and snatched and sold and snatched
and bred and snatched and
whipped and snatched and worked to death.
She died from tributes
from her counterparts
who should have been matching
her efforts instead of
showering her with
dead words and empty songs.
She died from myths
that would not allow her
to show weakness withoutbeing chastised by the lazy and hazy.
She died from hiding her real feelings
until they became hard
and bitter enough to invade
her womb and breasts like angry tumors.
She died from always lifting something
from heavy boxes to refrigerators.
The strong black woman is dead.

She died from the punishments
received from being honest
about life, racism & men.
She died from being called a bitch
for being verbal,
a dyke for being assertive
and a whore for picking her own lovers.
She died from never being enough
of what men wanted,
or being too much for the men she wanted.
She died from being too black
and died again for not being black enough.
She died from castratione
very time somebody thought
of her as only a woman,
or treated her like less than a man.
She died from being misinformed
about her mind, her body
and the extent of her royal capabilities.
She died from knees pressed too close together
because respect was never part
of the foreplay that was being shoved at her.
She died from loneliness in birthing rooms
and aloneness in abortion centers.
She died of shock in courtrooms
where she sat, alone,
watching her children being legally lynched.
She died in bathrooms
with her veins busting open
with self-hatred and neglect.
She died in her mind,
fighting life racism, & men,
while her body was carted away
and stashed in a human warehouse
for the spiritually mutilated.
And sometimes when she refused to die,
when she just refused to give in
she was killed by the lethal images
of blonde hair, blue eyes and flat butts,
rejected by the O.J.'s, the Quincy's, & the Poitiers.
Sometimes, she was stomped to death
by racism and sexism, executed
by hi-tech ignorance
while she carried the family in her belly,
the community on her head,
and the race on her back!
The strong silent, talking black woman is dead!
Or is she still alive and kicking?
I know I am still here.

09 VMA

I'm not really into the music awards shows anymore. But fa.cebook was abuzz about Kan.ye and something he did so I decided to stay up and watch the encore showing and here are my notes/comments:

Jan.et's tribute: nice, liked it.....

Taylor.Swift/Kan.ye/best female video: um, it was really in poor taste of Kan.ye to interupt someone during their acceptance speech to voice his personal opinion. It wasn't his show, so his actions were really uncalled for. And might I also point out that the video he mentioned in said interuption was just ok and doesn't really deserve video of the year award, said video was just ok, nothing to write home about or interupt a speech for!

Russ.ell Crowe as the host: um hit or miss for me, I like his accent and he can be funny at times

Wa.le as the house band, I likes.......

La.dy>Ga>Ga performance: WTF.......maybe I need to hear the song to understand, but I just didn't get it.......the blood and the hanging?????

I'm liking Wal.e................

I'm not sure if I'm really gonna stay up to watch all of this......I'm sure I'll see highlights on various blogs tomorrow.

the trailer for that new twilight movie looks abit interesting, I actually stopped what I was doing and looked at the trailer.

Beyo.nce's performance: ok I'll give it to her.....she can perform and she can sing I'll just leave it there. (please movie directors and producers, don't hire her for acting gigs, I beg of you)

I can't believe I'm still up........

TraceyMorgan/Eminem continuous skip: the very first part I chuckled, but that's it........where is this headed, I need for the end to get over with

why does Emin>em always look mad.......he won for best hip hop award, which I think should have went to HOV, I so love D.O.A

Kid.Cudi and Wale, loving the sound.....yeah I'm dancing

WTF is up with this LadyGa character.......she's in all red now with her face covered in some red lace, ok so she take off the face mask mid acceptance speech in which she states the award is for GOD and the Gays

ok, now P.ink's performance was creative.......

um, is Wa.le changing his clothes......he's going hollywood aready? Jimney cricket, he's the house band..............

Be.yonce wins video of the year award and invites Taylor.Swift to come out and finish her acceptance speech

LadyGa changed her clothes again????? now she has some white get up on looking like an eskimo with this thing around her face

so after the HOV performance I'm gonna call it a night. I do have to work and will need to be up again in about 6 hours......

I'm a HOV fan so yeah I loved the performance with Alicia.Keys, and I will certainly purchase his new cd when it drops!

Good night all

It still hurts.......8 years later

Eight years later and I still cry for the lives lost from the tragedy that occurred September 11, 2001.





Although I didn't lose anyone, I still feel a great deal of sadness.



The since of security I once knew was shattered.







As I wipe tears from my eyes as I type this, I won't forget those that lost their lives as a result of that national tragedy.

Yay for me.......

I’m not sure if I documented here on my blog that I reach a huge financial milestone a few months back. I finally paid off my NY&Co store card………this is a fete since every time the balance got down to about 150 or so, I’d run back and charge it up again. The balance never exceeded 800, but it got pretty close a few times.

So that leaves two major credit cards to pay off, one with a balance a little over $1,000 and the other just under $16,000. But I'm confident one the smaller one will be paid off by May 2010 and the other............well I'll put an extra 50 on the monthly payments I make to expedite paying it off.


Peace, Blessings and Laughs

That’s not her……

I attempted to watch that video circulating with Ms.Maia.C, but I refuse to believe it’s her. My refusal is due in part to a few factors:

One – I just don’t think it looks like her, the quality of the video is not all that great

Two – I can’t believe that a brother would video that and exploit her in that manner.

Third – I don’t want to believe it’s her!

So, I’ve seen a few rebuttal videos regarding the video in question as well as blogs about it. And in my daily perusing of blogs I came across a blog with a link suggesting bloggers do some research on Maia and mental illness before commenter. And while I had no intention of commenting I thought the suggestion to research was a good idea. I also hear Ms.Maia.C’s mother, the late BeBe Camp.bell’s book entitled 72 hour hold is based on the experience of a mother going thru the struggle with a child who suffers from mental illness. So, I’ve decided to read the book, not that it's a alternative to the research but I like to read, so why not read this one.

Again, not that I believe or even want to believe that there is an ounce of truth in that video I just think instead of pulling her down any further or participating in her down fall, we need to educate ourselves, tell the entire truth, and/or leave it alone. There are countless rumor mills and gossip columns doing enough of exploring and exploiting celebrity lives, no need to add to it.

Fwd: Wisdom on stress

This is an excellent bit of wisdom!

A young lady in front of the room, confidently walked around while leading and explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question half empty or half full?'

She fooled them all. "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.

Answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20oz.

The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you hold it.

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance."

"In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

She continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work/life down. Don't carry it home pick it up tomorrow."

"Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it and the now 'supposed' stress that you've conquered!"

And then she shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
1. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
2. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
4. Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
5. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
6. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
7. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
8. Never buy a car you can't push.
9. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
10. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
11. Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
12. The second mouse gets the cheese.
13. When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
14. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
15. You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
16. Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
17. We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
18. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

* * * * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today!!!

Sears is the WORST.................

I had the worst experience with sears these past few days. And while I can accept some responsibility, the customer service I received from my local sears store is the absolute worst. In a day when consumers are very hesitant about making large purchases because of the economic crisis we are going thru, when a customer does decide to make a purchase it would behoove a company to exhibit the absolute BEST customer service. But what did I get........the total opposite. From salesman that neglected to ask essentials questions, to a delivery person arguing with me in MY home and lastly not being able to speak to store manager makes the experience worst ten fold.

Here is the exact email I sent to sears customer service:

I recently attempted to purchase a stacked washer/dryer unit from the Landover store. I explained to the salesman I was looking for a replacement for an existing unit. The only questioned asked by the salesman was if I had a drying coil already, and proceeded to insist that I needed to purchase a new one, since the delivery persons might not want to re-attach the existing one.

The original unit was delivered but had to be returned because it was bigger than the existing unit.

Enter problems: The return/exchange experience was THE WORST. I explained the situation to this salesman and was instructed to go thru the online product availability and let him know when I'd made my choice. (Apparently, he was too busy to assist me with my purchase, only for me to find him chatting with another salesperson later) Once I made my second selection I was then told that I needed to be directed to another department since he was unable to handle the process. He proceeded to call a number and was told to tell me that I had to wait until the first unit was returned to the warehouse before anything could be done. I asked for a manager who assisted with the new purchase and I was promised delivery that day by the local delivery guy.

The local delivery guy arrived to deliver the machine the next morning. But he encountered problems attempting to remove the existing unit. He proceeded to tell me my husband and a friend would need to assist him and his assistant in removing the old unit and installing the new unit. An argument ensued after which I instructed him to return the item to the store.

The regular delivery people arrived to install the replacement, but I was then told that my existing unit was 220 volt and the replacement was only 120. The deliver guy went on to explain that I would not be able to wash and dry at the same time with the NEW unit. He proceeded to get the delivery department on the phone of which I was told that if I returned to the store even though it was well after 6 that I would be ensured delivery of another unit the next day.

I arrived at the store and spoke with a departmental manager and was promptly told that since it was after 3 I could not receive next day delivery (which contradicts what I was told by the delivery department on the phone).

Because of this recent experience I'm regretting the decision to purchase from Sears. I chose to purchase from Sears because of its longstanding reputation for quality products and knowledgeable sales staff. Unfortunate for me that my experience was met with poor customer service and sales staff that weren't all that knowledgeable.

And to further substantiate the poor customer service, I called the Landover store 8 times in an half hour time frame in an attempt to speak with store manager to no avail. I was hung up on several times and barely get the full name of a manager. One sales woman in the large appliance department told me she only knew his first name to be Carlos. The main number listed on the receipts is apparently a customer service support center and not actually the store. So there was a form of disconnect there as well when I inquired about a manager, as someone else told me the store manager’s name is Ralph Saylor.

This whole experience has been unsettling and frustrating. And has changed how I view the company. I no longer feel comfortable recommending Sears as a retailer to friends and family.



I'm hoping to get a chance to speak with someone regarding this experience, but based on my attempts to speak with a store manager I would be surprised to get a call.
