Chillin at home tonight. Went out to White Plains and had dinner and some dancing with Stephen last night. It was so much fun. We went to Zanaros on Mamaroneck, if I spelled that right… then we walked down to Lazy Boy Lounge for drinks and some dancing.
Ok I was into doing this but now I’m talking to Joyce on AOL and others on Twitter while Olivia is banging her toys in my ears so maybe I’ll come back and continue later. Can’t concentrate on what I want to write right now…

So this weekend I sent a lot of time trying to install and fix a computer I built a couple of years ago. Apparently the power supply box I bought for this computer when I originally started building this computer was a cheap mess that nearly messed up the entire computer and still may have. The 400GB hard drive that was originally inside of the computer that I’m using at this moment to type this out (the computer I built) was ruined because it was never getting enough power from the PSU (power supply unit). The hard drive of course froze up every time it didn’t receive enough power to spin up to function the way that it should. Well I recently took out the cheap 600W PSU that ruined my hard drive and put back in the more expensive Thermaltake PSU that’s only 430W PSU that came with the Thermaltake case that houses everything. I should have kept this PSU in from the beginning but when I was originally building this PC, I wanted to have a SLi set up with the dual video cards since my motherboard was capable of running this set up. Well, never mind that now because I may have even messed up the motherboard because of that old PSU. I recently bought a new 500GB hard drive from eBay and started installing it on Friday night. Went to put the Windows 7 operating system on it I downloaded from Microsoft but it kept restarting during the “Set up is checking video performance.” a place where the installation wasn’t supposed to restart the computer at all. GREAT. After hours of reinstalling windows, I gave up and put the old 30GB once 80GB IDE hard drive back into the case which is what I’m using right now.
I Googled or attempted to Google why my installation kept crashing before it could finish and became convinced that the reason behind the failures was that I was using the same SATA cable that I used for the 400GB hard drive that was ruined by that cheap PSU. So I proceeded to go to eBay and order 2 SATA cables which will be here sometime this coming week. In the meantime, I found an unused SATA cable on my dresser buried under papers a few hours ago. But before I go into that, lets talk about the craziness I’m still experiencing even though the computer now is exactly how it was before I started messing with it on Friday. Now the computer randomly restarts or freezes up and never unfreezes. The picture on the monitor randomly jumbles up to where the entire screen is unreadable. None of this stuff was occurring before. Especially the jumbled up picture thing. I opened the computer back up and moved the nVidia video card to the second PCI slot and used a different plug to plug into the IDE hard drive and took some things out just to see if there might be too many things on the PSU. Same thing kept happening except for the screen jumbling happens less. SO FREAKING ANNOYING!!!
Anyway, I found this SATA cable tonight so I opened up the computer once again and put my new hard drive back in again using the unused, still in the wrapper, SATA cable that I had just found and guess what??? The windows installation still crashes like it did before with the old SATA cable!! SO FREAKING ANNOYING!!! So I guess the cables aren’t my problem. It’s definitely something else. I’ve come to the conclusion that it has to be my motherboard. Too many things are starting to act up at the same time for it not to, right? I have no clue right now. I’ve run memory tests and I’ve run chkdsk on the drive that I’m using at this moment and no errors were found. I’m currently running chkdsk in the back ground now that’s checking the new hard drive I just bought. As I’m tying this I’m just waiting for the screen to go jumbled or for it to freeze up or for it to randomly restart. I hope that it doesn’t. I began thinking that it was a memory problem when it seems as though every time I got to where I was using a lot of memory the computer seemed to randomly restart. Memory test didn’t find any errors though. Oh and not to mention the blue screen of death I got earlier today that mentioned memory maintenance, I think it was. Right now I’m in the process of just doing one thing at a time before I jump the gun and buy something else. For all I know because of a problem that already existed with this set up, the 400GB disk I have may be still some good. At this point I have no clue. I’ll keep you updated on what I find out… just had to share my anguish. Thanks for reading!!

Testing out some new software again. Eventually I will find the perfect fit... I can be really indecisive sometimes... hehehe I'll erase this eventually. This one seems ok even though I can't tell what my font looks like on here because this definitely doesn't look like cursive.... we'll see after I post it.

This past week has been so much FUN! Been hanging out a lot with Stephen’s fam and hey always have me cracking up. I’m actually over at his aunt Denice’s house right now and she is getting her food together for dinner tonight. Stephen’s mom and stepdad and cousins have come up from North Carolina for his grandmother’s 75 birthday who yeah, lol, came up with them too. Wow… suddenly I don’t feel like typing anymore. Maybe I’ll come back on in a few hours and type up some more because I would like to tell you all about our big cookout out by the Hudson River yesterday (gorgeous) and the rest of this week hanging out with the family. Wish Tee Tee could have come. Anywho, laters!
Another chillmode Sunday. Didn't do much of anything today besides update and download new software for my desktop that I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate onto. For this OS to be brand new, it’s already compatible with a lot of stuff that I have on my Vista laptop. Oh did I mention that I finally got Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.7 onto my Dell laptop!! I installed the Mac OS X onto an old external hard drive that I don’t really use anymore and I just boot to it from my laptop. The only downside is that once Mac OS X starts up my keyboard and touchpad stops working which is a common problem. Luckily I have a wireless keyboard and mouse on my desktop so I just connect them to my laptop while I’m booted into Mac OSX. So now it’s like having a desktop PC, a laptop PC and a Macbook Pro! w00t!!
Now that my nerd talk is out the way, Got a little bit of my pain back today from my surgery wound. Olivia accidentally kneed me in the stomach this morning and it’s been sore since. Overall though, I feel ok. Went out to CVS with Stephen this morning so got out the house for a brief second even though it was raining cats and dogs. Right now he’s chillin doing his thing on the laptop, I’m on here, the desktop doing this and chatting it up with some folks on Twitter. NO I’m not addicted and never was. I know denial is not good but I don’t tweet no where near as often as I used to. I tweet with people on twitter that has well over 20,000 tweets since earlier this year. That’s an ass load of tweeting!! I have 6,000 now and I started tweeting in February of this year. Most of those were from when I first starting really using twitter. Found new friends on there and it was fun chatting with them so I was on a lot. I got away from it though when I went to “Twitter Rehab” which is basically going a full 24 hours or more without tweeting at all. I did that twice and it broke the spell everyone assumed I was under. but I have a lot of people that I follow on there who’s name’s I see all over my screen constantly because they are addicted and they tweet all day long. I wonder who they could ever get anything done. I know when I’m playing around on the computer at work I get so behind in my work that it ain’t funny. So I don't see how these people can constantly be tweeting while they are at work and still get their work done… I haven’t a clue.
Stephen and I watched Orphan tonight… it was kinda boring until getting closer to the end of the movie. In my opinion not work the high dollar New York theater tickets. That movie makes you not want to ever adopt a kid though, especially an older one. That bitch was CRAZY! So here we go… I guess this is it for me… need to get some sleep since I stayed up so late last night. Didn’t get any naps in today so I guess its time for me to hit the hay… oh wait, that rhymed!! w00t!! Ok seriously goodnight readers. Come check me out some other time!
Yes, I know that it’s late and yes, I know that I’m a typical indecisive woman since I cannot seem to make up my mind about what I want my blog to look like. I think I’ve change the template and rearranged things like 3 times this week. Hey its my blog and I can do what I want to!! Anywho, I feel content with this one so it’s going to be up for a while.
So Stephen is out in Staten Island then to Midtown in Manhattan with Armondo tonight. By now they’re probably in Manhattan. I so wish I could be out and about with him. Even if I was fully healed tonight I probably still would have been stuck in the house because Michael isn’t here. As far as my surgery wound goes, it has gotten a lot better. The only time I feel pain is when I over exert myself by standing or walking for too long or if I try to pick up something heavy. It still hurts when I turn over in bed at night too. Bummer. From what I can tell though I’m healing up quite nicely.
I switched back to writing in my blogs with Windows Live Writer again because after a few days of playing around with Skypetr, I got really tired of it quickly because it’s still so buggy. Windows Live Writer does the trick and some so I guess I’ll just stick with it. I wish I could get this thing in a portable version to put on my flash drive.
Anywho, this weekend just like last weekend was very uneventful, or least for me it was. Stephen’s been out doing his thing out in the city to make money. I’ve been here with my heathenish daughter bored out our minds. That’s how I ended up changing my blog again you know? I’m bored with too much time on my hands. Oh today I finally redid Stephen’s myspace page. It’s not much since you are limited to what you can do on there but nonetheless it turned out pretty cool. I love the background. I think the link to his myspace page is www.myspace.com/stephendarbeau . I’m feeling too lazy right now to go confirm this link so if its wrong just do a search for him. He’s a hard worker and whatever success he finally receives he definitely deserves. He’s the type of guy who’s always good to have in your corner. I’m so glad he’s in mine.
Goodnight reader or hopefully readers. It’s almost 3AM and Olivia will be waking up in a few hours for the day. xoxo
Needless to say, it’s been a very interesting week for me. Monday started off a normal day. Caught my bus to work, worked, caught my bus home from work. The night was fine, chilled out with Stephen, then suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen like someone had just stabbed me with a knife. The pain was so severe that Stephen had me rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Spent the night in the Phelps Hospital ER with Stephen and Olivia. They ran all kinds of tests from CAT scans to ultrasounds on my belly. Come to find out I had a ruptured cyst on my right ovary. At first my ob/gyn doctor from the hospital told me that I don’t need surgery that morning. But then when my blood pressure was consistently very low and my blood count was low and getting lower hours later my doc came back to tell me that he has decided that I needed surgery after all because I was losing too much blood since my blood pressure was so low and my blood count wasn’t improving. Yay me! So off to surgery I went. The cut me open, drained out all the blood that was chilling around my stomach and intestines and cauterized the cyst, sewed me up and off to recovery I went. Man am I still sore. I left the hospital the next day after my surgery even though one of the other doctors felt I should stay an extra day. So far I’m doing ok. Extremely sore still but Stephen has been taking very good care of me and has really made things a lot easier for me. I don't know what I’d do without him. Got so many calls from folks while I was at the hospital. My phone rang off the hook with people calling to see if I were ok. I felt so loved. Anyways, I’ve rushed through this because I’m tired and sore and need to go to sleep. Can’t go back to work til August 22 according to my doctors so I have a lot of time on my hands. May add more later today, don't know yet, depends on whether or not I’m fighting off Olivia to keep her from kicking me in my stomach and breaking my stitches. Anywho… hollerate!
Yeeeep, I’m chillin hard like I normally do. I had soooo much this holiday weekend!!! We took a train down the DC chilled there for a sec and then from there traveled down to NC with Stephen’s sister who wasn’t the greatest host I'm ashamed to admit but that story by itself is a damn 500 page novel. Let’s just leave it as if she spoke, I’d speak back but if we didn’t have to have serious conversation, I defintely would not engage. Anywho… more serious issues going on right about now… so sleepy right now that I don’t care to write about them. Tomorrow is closing at work so until we actually close… I’ll be bored… meaning the chances of me writing tomorrow are VERY high… thanks! talk to yall tomorrow… xoxo
YAY, I’m in North Carolina right now!! We’re chillin at Tee Tee’s house! I love Stephen’s auntie… I wish I could pack her up in one of our bags and take her to NY with us. Ok, now that I’ve played on Tee Tee’s new Mac Book and conversated I’ve forgotten what I was going to talk about. Today, though, was pretty cool. It’s always fun chillin with Stephen’s fam. I really wish Marcus and R.A. could have come up but they’re busted family dollar cars were broken down. We chilled with Stephen’s mom for a while at her house in the Raleigh for a cookout. It was nice. I would have enjoyed things better if Tee Tee had been there. I attempted to talk to her twice about her and Mary sitting down and just talking things out since they are sisters but Tee Tee ain’t having it. In a way I do understand because she was seriously slighted but in the end they are sisters so something should be done about it. Anywho, we’re talking so lemme go. Maybe I’ll add more later.
Stephen’s standing in front of me, or he was, now he’s looking over my shoulder talking about beating down people that are bigger than him. Olivia’s currently jumping on the bed with one of my shirts around her waist because she puts everything on like they are pants. Stephen goes and body slams her. We have fun, its just me, Stephen and Olivia. We’re a fun little family. We’re close and we do almost everything together. Uh oh, now Stephen is chasing Olivia through the house, wow he just body slammed her on the bed again and she bounced back up and landed on her feet. Time out time, Olivia got something in her eyes. LMAO!
Ok so I just had to delete a sentence because it could potentially hurt someone’s feelings, says Stephen. Damn, stuff like that is so much fun! So anyway, I was listening in on Stephen and his dad’s conversations last night over the phone. It was hilarious! They are both class acts! He even told Stephen that he and I are made for each other. I think that's the best thing he probably said though during the entire conversation.
I haven’t been keeping up with this thing like I should. Sorry readers, if I have any readers. Who does one get more readers to their blog? I have my link on my Twitter page. I don’t know, I’ll have to look into that. Meanwhile it was suggested to me that I seriously put excerpts from my fiction story into my blog. I need to do that because hey, you never know, I could possibly get discovered that way. Essentially, getting discovered right now would be a HEAVEN-SENT after all the not so great stuff going on now that we no longer have a car. Yeah I know, I should have another car by now but I found out while trying to get another car that I did not have GAP coverage. The folks at my still current car loan company told me that I declined GAP coverage. I told her that I would never do that because 1 that would be DUMB and second you never know when you might need it. So because Progressive only gave them the blue book value of the car, there’s still a few thousand left over that I am still responsible for. Doesn’t that SUCK!!! So nobody wants to lend to me because I still have an open car loan on my credit and no trade-in because the car was totaled. So until I can figure out what to do next or save up a lot of moola, I’m taking the bus back and forth to school and work. But hey its New York, public transportation here is common.
Alright, its 8 o'clock now so I’m going to make an attempt to put Olivia to sleep now that Stephen just left for his manager-promoting gig he has out in the City. Smooches and I’ll try to start writing more often and Ya’ll should remind me to put excerpts from my fiction story! Goodnight!
Since the accident on the 26th, times have been rough. We still haven't been able to get another car because we found out that I didn't have GAP coverage. The lady at my loan company told me that I declined it when I know that I didn't. My guess is it was the people at the dealership I bought the car from but I have no way of knowing because the place is under new management so all those people are gone, good riddance if they are responsible for this. So I turned in the rental car this morning since we can't afford to keep it any longer. We still owe a few thousand on the car and my loan company told me that the likelihood of getting another loan right now is slim to none since I still have an open car loan on my credit.
So I'm going to be using public transportation for a while, its ok, I've done it before and I'm not ashamed. Using the bus and train is so bad at all. The rides are just long because they have to stop so many times during the trip. I was so upset yesterday when I was finding all this out. It felt like someone was taking boulders onto my shoulders and I couldn't brush them off. I still haven't been able to brush them off but we'll manage, we always do. We planned out how we were going to do everything before I turned the car in and Stephen did an assload of laundry this morning to get it down and over with while we still had some form of transportation on our own. I just have to remember to think about the good things in my life right now. My daughters is alive and healthy and flourishing. Stephen is doing great despite where he was in the car when it crashed. I'm ok, my health is good. I still have a job to go to. So everything will work itself out. A car isn't everything. I'll eventually have another. This will give me to opportunity to save up my money because I will no longer have a car note and car insurance to worry about although I do have to pay off this month's car insurance. Today, hopefully will be a good day. A lot better than yesterday. Ok, time for me to get to work. Perhaps I'll blog again later to let yall know how the rest of my day went. XOXO
It's FRIDAY!!! YAY SOOO HAPPY about that... it's always bittersweet though because I know that I have class bright and early every Saturday 
So Stephen and I are sitting here tonight talking about having another baby. He’s ready, right now. I want a few days to think about things, you know, the financial part of having another baby. Of course it will be close to 10 months from now whenever the baby was to be born but a LOT can happen in 10 months! Trust me, I know from experience. I hope that our new baby, whenever we do have one is a son. Stephen wants to name our first son Stephen after he and his dad but I’m going to try my best from keeping that from happening… lol I don’t like the name enough to name one of my kids that. I’m a bad girlfriend for saying that but it is true. I don’t know though. We’ll see together what the future holds. I thought it was always the woman in a relationship that gets the loud ticks from her biological clock. I guess I was wrong. Hey what if we end up having TWINS!! OH MY GOSH!!! That’s kind of scary.
Ok, now I’m babbling but everything is coming together as far as that car accident stuff comes together. I still haven’t put the pics of the car on my laptop yet. I have to remember to do that. We went out to Pennsylvania this weekend to get the rest of our stuff out the car and I took more pics. I just asked Stephen, how in the hell did we survive this with only minor cuts and bumps? The Lord was definitely with us during that accident because when I looked up and saw the bottom of that tractor trailer’s trailer entering the windshield, I just knew that one of us or both of us was going to die that morning. When you see Stephen’s side of the windshield you’ll think, “Dag, how did he not get crushed?” It’s crazy. Everything happens for a reason. I don’t know for sure yet why this accident happened but I’m positive that soon the reason will reveal itself. Ok so its 1am. I gotta go to bed, the Progressive insurance adjuster is coming over again in the AM so that I can sign my title over to him since they totaled the car. Car shopping yay! My favorite!!! WOOOOOO!!!!! Anywho, good night readers! Love peace and hair grease! xoxo
The last time I wrote on here I was in Stephen’s Aunt Tee Tee’s living room getting ready to get in the car and head back up to New York. Maaaaan did it soooo not happen the way we thought it would. That morning actually ended up being almost one of the WORST days of my entire life. Stephen, Olivia and me ended up being in a really bad car accident on the way back up to New York. We were on I-78E, tractor trailer, swerve, spin out, car hit the tractor trailer… car underneath the tractor trailer with Stephen and me in the front seat at the front impact. Last thing I remember during the crash is thinking, “Oh my God, we’re going to die today.” Because if you’ve ever seen Final Destination, I think the 2nd one when the logs on a log transporter tractor trailer, flew off and into the windshield of a car, that person’s head was smashed like potatoes. I thought the bottom of the trailer of this truck was going to do that to both Stephen and me and possibly Olivia too. God was with us because Stephen only received minor cuts on his hands, I bumped my head, Olivia not a scratch, bruise or break on her. She didn’t even cry! I went to the hospital by ambulance because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop freaking out. I’m just so happy that everyone came out alive and well. It could have been so much worse! I’ll have to post pics as soon as I have the time to import the pics of the car off my celly. Right now its getting super late and I NEED to sleep since I didn’t really get much at all during the weekend. Night!
Don’t really have the time to type this out but we’ve been in NC since Saturday. I’ll add more details later. Now we’re at Tee Tee’s about to head back up to NY because we have to work tomorrow. Bummer, I wanna stay longer. So mad we have to go back now. Anywho, it was fun. Didn’t get to see my family but I spent time with my family only last time I came down. Anywho, gotta go! Talk to you in New York!
Ok so it’s not really a late night candle light… fam knows what I mean by that, maybe I’ll let yall in on that someday, remind me, but I wanted to say about my post yesterday that I was extremely ill about what I had read on Perez Hilton’s website. I hope that I did not offend anyone. I felt tho and still do feel that what I was saying was and is justifiable. If you were to go back and read what some of those people were saying, if you aren’t one of them, you’d probably feel sick to your stomach that another human being can say what these people were saying about another human being being murdered for my guess is nothing. Anywho, enough with that, I’m going to sleep because I’m going to be super tired in the morning. We have big things going on tomorrow supposedly because my birthday is Friday. According to Stephen we’re pretty much going to be celebrating all weekend! w00t! We’ll see. Anywho, goodnight! Or well, good morning!
This morning, when I checked my email, I always receive Perez Hilton's daily email. I found his article about Dolla, the young rapper who was shot to death in LA on Monday. I read his article. It was so sad what happened to him. Someone just shot him in the head in cold blood then fled. He died in the hospital across the street. After I finished reading the article, I started reading the comments other readers were leaving. I wasn't happy with what I was reading so much that I had to leave a comment as well. I cannot believe how cold and calous people can be. This 21 year old man lost his life, for what reason, we all don't know yet but yet these people were saying, "he's a gangster so he got what he deserved," "he was a black rapper, who cares?" I was so disgusted. Yes, he was mixed black and Puerto Rican, yes he was a rapper, yes he dressed like a gangster. Does that automatically make him a gangster? From what I can tell he wasn't even affiliated with LA gangsters because the man was from Chicago. He flew to LA for business, got off the plane when to the mall to do some shopping, someone shoots him down like a damn dog. Who in the hell does that make him a gangster?? Just because he was a rapper?? I don't think so people. People need to open their closed minds and eyes. This isn't the 1950's and 60's when white people ran ramped over black people. Instead of showing respect for another young life lost, all they could focus on was his race and that he might be a gangster. Never mind the fact that another young person has lost their life senselessly to violence and that he was somebody's brother, cousin or maybe even father. How would these people feel if he was a relative or friend of theirs and people were trashing him like that postmortem? I mean somebody just drove up and shot this 21 year old man in the head! I can't say enough how much this disturbed me. I gotta give credit to the ones that had kind things to say, all the RIP's and prayers for his family. These people don't know him but had that to say, these are the people that are good people and will hopefully do great things for the world someday. No matter whether or not he was a gangster, he was still a human being who deserved to live. It's not someone's will to take life from others. Its not someone's will to judge someone because he's black or in his case partially black. I don't think I'll ever get it. Racism is still alive and probably will be forever. We all just need to learn to get along and care more about others. Please, we all have to do something to stop the violence before it consumes us all. Rest in Peace Roderick Burton.
Saddened...
Here I go again testing out a new blog editor. Not very impressed by this one either because I can't choose the exact font I want to use. This one is called Qumana Blog Manager, it runs on Java. Oh update on my experiment from Sunday! I GOT IT! I can now run Mac OS X Leopard on my Dell. Only bummer part is I didn't put it on there where I can choose to boot from it, I added it by using a virtual machine but hey, I can still experience a Mac now. I was so happy. Mac's seem nice. The interface is really sharp and shiny. After a whole day of playing around with it, I still like the PC better although I am considering creating another partition and putting Mac on it so that I can boot up to it instead of having to start the VM every time. I haven't decided. I might just see if I can install it onto my external hard drive. I do have that 80 gig one that I don't even really use anymore. Hmmm, I'll think about that later. In the meantime I need to get back to playing around with my portable software work. Hehehehe! YAY!
Today, I’m chillin with the fam. That’s Stephen, Olivia and me. Today is a very chill day. I did class this morning, my cost accounting class then came home to relax and watch TV shows with Stephen. Got tired of watching my shows so Stephen’s now cooking spaghetti, Olivia’s rolling around on the kitchen floor, hence the nickname, Monkey and I’m now blogging. I really want to try and get Mac OS X Leopard onto this laptop even though it’s a Windows Vista 64 bit operating system. I want to try and install Mac OS using VMWare virtual computer software. I’ve always wanted to know what Mac’s were like so I’m going to try and make this happen. It is said that it is illegal to install Mac OS on any hardware other than Apple and that its close to impossible but thanks to some extremely bright people online who have done it and published tutorials to show others how to do it, I’m going to try it myself. I’m pretty good when it comes to stuff like this because like I’ve said before I am a very techie person. Right now I have everything downloading and I gotta get a hold of the operating system itself. Gonna work on this probably most of the weekend. Anywho, I tweeted a little today. Not much. It was pretty dead on there. It helped me realized that I didn’t really miss tweeting much at all. So I guess that means I wasn’t addicted after all just like I said I wasn’t. Awe, my daughter is on the potty right now. SO CUTE! She’s got doing #2 down when going to the potty. Haven’t gotten her to successfully pee in the potty except for twice. She is 2 now so I want to go ahead and get her fully trained. She just turned 2 on May 12th so she’s a new 2 year old but she started doing everything early so why not have her doing this at a decent time too. She was standing on her own at 7 months. She was walking on her own at 11 months. She was fully weaned off the bottle and using a Sippy cup full-time by 13 months meaning she was also fully off breast milk and formula. We weaned her off her binky at 18 months. I know that is kind of late but getting her off wasn’t hard at all. I lost her binky and that was it. She cried for a few times but quickly got over it. She hasn’t sucked on a binky since. She did find one of her binky’s recently and put it in her mouth but we took it away from her and she was ok with that. Stephen and Olivia are now in the room with me. Olivia’s playing with her baby wipes and Stephen is talking to her while listening to my iPod. Anywho, guess I’ll go now, maybe watch some more TV shows. Toodles!
Soooo here we go again. It's Friday and I'm at work blogging instead of working, as usual. Anywho, yesterday morning when I was reading posts on Twitter, Stephen accused me of being addicted to Twitter. So when I got to work that morning, I made an executive decision. Want to know what that decision was? Ok here goes. I've checked myself into Twitter Rehab EVEN THOUGH I personally don't think that there's anything wrong with me. After that morning, I hadn't posted on Twitter at all. I kind of slipped off the wagon a little earlier and Tweeted a little but then I left again and I'm going to stay off. Besides, instead of blogging I should be doing the ton of work I have piled up beside me. Then tonight when I get home because I'm forever procrastinating, I have homework to do tonight that has to be submitted tomorrow. It doesn't have to be submitted until tomorrow night at 11:59pm so I may do part of it tonight and the other part tomorrow and submit it then. I haven't decided. It's 2 chapters worth so I don't know. Anywho, I'm about to get back to work now, I'd like to finish at least 2 more batches before I leave around 6. Have a great weekend if I don't write anymore over the weekend!
So I haven't written anything all weekend because it was Mom's day weekend so I wanted to chill out with the online stuff. This one is going to be brief as well because I'm a week behind in my work because it took so long for us to do our monthly close. Just wanted to say hello to my readers if I have any and to say that I haven't abandoned my blog, just been busy. I need to do something to make this thing a lil more interesting. Maybe I really will start putting excerpts from my novel in here. We'll see, until then, BYE!
Oh and my Mother's day was good, very chill just like I like it. I got flowers, a card, and Stephen got me some drawing stuff because I do draw, just not often. My best artwork is on my notes in class... lol
Yet again, I’m chillin waiting for Stephen to get home. Fuck it though, I have class tomorrow morning at 8, I’m going to bed. Guess we can do fun adult things some other time. Night night…
Wait… am I just seeing things or was the blog post I left earlier on Friday (5/8/09) not showing below… I guess I’ll find out once I submit this… again Night night…
Well, once again, i want to go out but probably won't be able to because, WHY?? I didn't get to finish my homework because the textbook I ordered didn't come when it was supposed to. I was able to do my homework for my management class but I've still been unable to do my homework for my Cost Accounting class and that is the class I had the most homework in. Go figure. I have class early tomorrow morning so it's not like I can put it off. I'm going to be up all night doing this. Anywho, I'm really just posting right now to test out this blog editor that I downloaded so that it'll be easier for me to blog while I'm at work. As usual I may come back and post tonight but with all the homework I have waiting for me at home, prolly not. Love it! I tell ya. The rest of my day is going to be long soooo I'm going to go and get more coffee. YES I know that it's almost 4PM but I'm going to need it. Big time. Gotta get back to work now, finally had our closing so now I can finally do some real work. I'll holla!!
So the lovely man you see to my left is Ne-Yo, I've told everyone and Stephen too that he's my husband but he just doesn't know it yet. I absolutely love his voice and writing style. My thoughts are so random, Ne-yo just happened to be in my thoughts this morning. It's Monday though and I'm at work, stayed up super late last night with Stephen and now I'm regretting it. I'm bout to bust my head on my keyboard because I'm about just pass out sleeping. As I'm typing this I'm also talking to people on Twitter. These folks crack me up! All weekend I was rolling because of the crazy conversations we were having on there. Twitter can be very addictive, especially when you run into some people who are actually interesting and talk about real stuff. Gotta go, my homie just called, we're gonna go gossip about folks in the breakroom... lolAfter a long boring day at work today, I reeeeally want to go out tonight. I don’t know that that’s going to happen now. Olivia’s uncle, who usually watches her when Stephen and I need or want to go out isn’t here because he’s working. Stephen had to go back to work for a bit, so I’m here alone with my sleeping baby girl. Can’t go out to the city without a sitter. My guess is that I’m going to have to just call it a night. I have class early tomorrow morning anyway. At least now though I won’t be spending my entire Saturday, almost, at school, I’m done at 1 now as opposed to 6 before. I’m so bored right now. I should be getting dressed and getting ready to hit some spots out in the city and getting my dance and drink on. Comes with the territory though. I’m a mom now so I can’t go out and do as I please anymore. I don’t mind too much though. I’d trade my life in for my baby girl and her dad. I think that we are a cute little family. Stephen and I have our ups and downs like any couple does but in the end we always end up back tight again. My guess right now is that he’s stuck on the Tappan Zee bridge in that construction traffic. His job is out in Nyack, Rockland county so he has to cross that 2 mile long bridge almost everyday and pay that $5 toll almost everyday. Fun right? They’ve started doing repairs again out there so they completely stop traffic while they’re closing off the lanes they’re going to be working on. I don’t understand why they can’t do their construction work over night like they do in North Carolina. When construction was being done on a major highway or street down there, all the construction began very late at night when there were a lot less cars on the road so there was never any construction traffic. Noooo not in NY.
Just like the damn garbage trucks in the Bronx!! OH MY GOSH THOSE ASSHOLES ARE SO ANNOYING!! I have to go to Barnes and 225th Streets to drop Olivia off at her daycare and almost every morning there’s garbage trucks all over the place. All these streets are 1 way streets except for white plains road which 225th connects to. I’ll come back in the evening to pick Olivia up to bring her home and there’s still garbage trucks all over the place, every single day!! Oh it doesn’t stop at the garbage trucks, if I’m not stuck behind one of those I’m damn near running over predestrians because I guess they think when they walk out in front of my car, I can just stop on dime to keep from running them over. Then they look at me like I did something wrong! AAaarghhh!!! I come close to running over some crackhead almost every time I come to the Bronx. People block the streets with their cars because they parallel park beside another car, they pull out in front of you, cut you off… soooo rude! Make me miss NC even more. I’ve gotten used to it and I can drive like a maniac like the rest of the maniacs on the road but damn I miss my slow life down south, can’t wait to someday move back. I’m off…
Ok so I’m still at work… been procrastinating all day long. I’m very good at procrastinating. As a matter of fact I’ve got it down to a science! LOL. I’m bored. I just wanted everyone to know that. Folks on Twitter aren’t talking about anything interesting, I have my own office so I’m alone and I have a ton of work that I should be doing instead of typing this. I really hope that I don’t get into trouble. I guess it’s not smart to have a public blog that my boss could easily look up, right? I have 15 minute breaks and a lunch so I’m doing this during those times. Anywho, It’s not like I’m in here looking at porn… LOL. Porn at work is soooo inappropriate! Just not me. As usual, I don’t have anything interesting to talk about. Gotta watch what I say about folks at work for fear of getting into trouble. Can’t afford to lose my job with our economy still the way that it is. I pray that it’ll all be over soon so that folks can start getting back on their feet.
Stephen is currently looking for a new job. He does some promoting out in the city and he bartends but he’s looking for something more steady. While promoting he’s met a few celebs. So far he’s met Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Diddy and Red Cafe. While he was working, I was twittering and Busta and Diddy were on twitter. Busta was trying to get in touch with Diddy through twitter about Q-tip’s birthday party at his spot. Then the next morning Stephen tells me all the people he ran into at Q-tip’s party. I had no clue that that is where he was going to be. He said he had no clue that that’s where he was going to end up either. It was neat knowing what was going down between the celebs and Stephen ended up right in the midst of it all, unknowingly. He said they talked, took pics and everything was cool. I’m not 100 percent sure if Stephen had anything to do with the promoting for this party. I think he was just there, the right place at the right time kind of thing.
Anywho, enough writing, I have to get back to work, seriously. Maybe tonight when I get home, if I remember, I’ll post an excerpt from the piece that I’m working on thats going to make me a best seller… LOL! I’ll holla!So today I’m going to try and keep this short and sweet. As usual, I’m at work and as you can see I’ve been playing around with the HTML because my font is different. Anywho, I just wanted to say that I’m soooo glad that I was fortunately enough to experience another day to chill with my daughter, come to work, and see my boyfriend again. A lot of people aren’t as fortunate, ya know? I don’t really have much to say and I have a lot of work to do so I’m going to get on that. Our closing is coming up so I have to have everything done before we can close. Maybe I’ll come back and write more later, not sure, depends on how much free time I have.
Oh and before I go, I’ve started working on my fiction story again. I started this back in like 2002, I wanted to try my hand in making a fiction book. I’ve been adding to it for the last 6 or so years. I hope that its going to be good. Maybe someday I can publish it and you all will get to see how crazy my imagination can be. Right now it has about 5 chapters. I hope that I can be the next Erick Jerome Dickey. Ok, I’m outtie. Talk later!Swine flu, pork flu, pig flu… whatever people decide to call it, I’m sick of hearing about it!! On every radio station in NYC that I was listening to this morning was talking about it. Give it a rest already. We just have to be extra careful is all! You’d think somebody caught the Ebola or Marburg virus or something. Now those are some seriously fatal diseases that should be causing this kind of ruckus. Just wash your hands more and steer clear of anyone who might look like they’re suffering from a cold. Don’t get allergies confused with flu symptoms. Just because someone is sneezing all over the place, doesn’t mean they have the pork flu, it could just be that they are allergic to pollen, like I am. Pass that person a Claritin and a hankerchief, be nice.
Anyway, my morning was ok. Stephen and I are sorta at a cross-roads in our relationship, don’t know how it’s going to go but I guess that is to be continued. It seems as though the only time I have time to blog is while I’m here at work. When I’m at home I don’t want eyes staring over my shoulder while I’m cyber-brainstorming so I choose not to. I’m a very techie person though. I’ve very into computers and anything “techie.” I guess you could call me a black girl geek. lol. I dunno. I’m just rambling on and on. Don’t really have much to talk about. Nothing exciting has happened yet, today. It’s only Wednesday which makes it even worse. Yesterday, my good friend here at work snuck into my office while I was away and posted little yellow post-it notes all over my office with “Hi!” written on each one. I’m telling you that chica ain’t got a lick of sense!
Chris Brown’s trial starts today. I just though of that because he and Bow Wow’s song is playing on my Windows Media Player. I wonder how that’s going to turn out. This is another topic thats being worn out as much as it can be worn out so I’m not going to even go into although I am curious to know if his ass is gonna be thrown in jail.
Ok, lunchtime will be over soon, gotta get my grub on. Sooo I’ll holla!! BOOM BOOM POW! That’s the song that’s playing on the radio… hehe
Man, I just got a call from the director of the billing department (Susan)’s assistant telling me that Susan and Stan, our CFO, wanted to meet with me in Stan’s office!!! OH MY GOSH!! I was so scared I could feel my heart beating in my throat!! I just knew I was in trouble for something. A lot of drama has been going on around here lately and because of it I’ve been staying in my office and keeping to myself so that I won’t be part of the drama. Of course I work with an assload of women so there’s bound to be some pettiness and childness going on somewhere. Anyway, they only wanted me to come to their office so that I could get my name badge for my office! Talk about relief! We did our usual joking around together then I left. I haven’t been that nervous in a long time! Now I reeeally gotta go and get my coffee!! I’ll holla!!
Ok soooo this is my first post. Hmmm, don’t really have much to say right now. I’m at work so I can’t blog long anyway. I just wanted to finally get on here and check this out since I’ve been hearing a lot about it. Well… ok… Ok, I’ll tell you how my morning was. It sucked! My boyfriend and I got into the worse fight over bullshit! I was soooo angry and just wanted to drop it but he just wanted to keep carrying on about it. I hung up on him 3 times because I just didn’t want to talk to him about it. Ok I know I shouldn’t have hung up but I warned him before I hung up each time. I said I’m hanging up now, I’ll talk to you later or bye, then I hung up. You don’t think that makes it right? I know that that doesn’t make it right but if he had been listening to me then it wouldn’t have happened. Just writing about this is making me upset all over again so I’m going to go get my first coffee for the morning and get back to work. Closing here at work is coming up very soon so I have to stay on it so I’ll complete all my work on time. Maybe I’ll write again later! Smoochies!
