I'm Back

I wasn't gone that long and thank God for it. My mother is much better and is planning to return to the states the moment riots die down in Port Au Prince, Haiti and it's safe to travel. She doesn't feel safe enough to travel on her own especially since her health isn't all that great. (Price of food has gone up and the people aren't making that much more money so of course they're pissed.) My sister is surprising her this weekend I don't have a passport and I don't really know my way around Haiti like that so my oldest sister who's in the picture with me with all her bebe kids is flying out Sunday morning to go and get my mommy!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!

I was a mess these past few weeks my mother is my heart and I don't even want to think what I would do if something were to happen to her. My phone bill is going to be sky high all that international dialing. Thank you for all the prayers, it's a powerful thing and I believe ultimately it's what helped me to escape this nightmare. I can't wait for my mommy to get home I know she's going to be annoyed
by be being all up on her but she has no idea how much I miss and love her. My mother is like a man she doesn't show emotion so she'll probably push me after the first 2 hugs when she gets back. LOL!!

My grades were suffering I was depressed as I don't know what I actually got a C in my Humanities class lol students were emailing me all semester asking that I help them and then all of a sudden I get a C and I almost pass out. I brought the grades back up minus Journalism but I'm not even going to get into that. I think she is just going to have to curve the grades in all of her classes.

Weird things have happened during this time, I live in the hood and I had to hang my panties outside I did them in a secretive way made my own little contraption but guess what happened? Someone stole my panties among them my hello kitty and snoopy boy shorts. So, I had to finally put good use to my Victoria Secret gift card that I received as gift for my birthday. That store is so dang expensive! I don't think I'll ever be hooked unless it's one of my stressed out shopping sprees. Which I have had many!! I bought a lot of stuff this past month it's all the stress I tell you.



Yes that's something else about me, whenever I get stressedd, sad, or mad I shop. I'm not a great shopper though because I hate the mall and other stores so I just get in get out. I almost purchased a 1000 dollar television while grocery shopping at Walmart thought it would make me feel better. Then I almost purchased a Wii which was going to come up to like $700 after all the games and such. I was a hot mess. This time I did good, I only purchased a pair of Coach sneakers, some Nike's for myself, my sister and my niece, a pair of Jordan's for my nephew some Kenneth Cole dress shoes for my 2 year old nephew and also a Phat Farm outfit for him it was his birthday that weekend, and a digital camera OH WAIT and my new MAC BOOK. I don't shop for brands, I rarely shop seriously unless something is stressing me out then money just seems to not want to stay in my hands. So of course after I purchased it all I just sat down and thought what the hekk?? They're 2,6 and 8 I think I get confused about their ages but point being they don't need to be poisoned by wanting name brands at that age. I went all of my school days with Thrift Store clothing I didn't know what brand name was until I could afford it myself so hopefully my stress doesn't spoil them.

3 Months have gone by since I had my locks installed and I'm loving my hair I have an appointment to have them washed and re tightened in the morning before I go to work, can't wait because these suckers are dirty. I actually forgot that it was my 3 month mark because I don't fuss about my hair anymore that's a miracle. I've had my hair in the same style for 3 months and I'm actually content. I did try some bantu knots, here are the results of that.

Bad quality this was pre-new digi cam:

I had a mammogram and a ultrasound for my boob, had a lump that wasn't too comfortable lack of insurance caused be to stop getting it checked then worrying about my moms health I put myself on the back burner but finally mustered up the courage to go and see the doctor on my own which was another reason as to why I didn't want to be on the computer. They had to compare the results from 6mths ago and now, and she says it hasn't grown but she also asked if I wanted a surgeon referral. My idea about it is if it's not broke don't fix it. So, no cutting anything out of me. The doctor found another lump so from what I got from her she want to cut them out to be safe. AHHHHHH that's scaring the hekk out of me so I'm just praying these suckers disappear, or just stay the same size maybe I just have lumpy boobies.


I have another stray cat, "woof woof" as my nephew calls the stray that has adopted my family brought us a new kitty, she seems to be afraid of everything and even though once she thinks I'm out of sight she'll come and eat she hasn't warmed up to us as nicely as woof woof has. The other day I set out their breakfast and she was finally eating and when I went to check on them I found that woof woof had punked the new kitty and took her food! LOL he's so mean before we actually started setting out two plates she would sniff around his food and he'd actually growl like how do you take her to a restaurant but not want to let her have some of your food woof woof? LOL he is not a gentleman at all. I punished him tonight because kitty looked like she was trying to give him a kissy kiss and he slapped her out of his face, so no meal for him tonight. I'm afraid of them still haven't warmed up to the idea of him rubbing against my leg but they both have a special place in my heart, I refer to them as mine and I actually speak to them. That's a big thing if you consider that I never could understand how people considered their animals their babies but I'm gaining a better understanding.

On another topic: I met a holocaust survivor and I read Night by Elie Wiesel for my Humanities class and it was an eye opener for me, I immediately started doing some research on the Holocaust and I have a couple of books on my reading list, I want to educate myself more on that time and on genocides period. It also has me more interested in reading my Bible.

The semester is almost over now, but a new one starts a week after. I'm trying to go through non-stop to make up for lost time, and I've decided to stay at my current school until I complete my AA and then transfer to a University, and complete my Bachelors in Communications there. Why? Because it's cheaper and I need to save my money!

Well, that's all for now but I'm back with a new camera that I love taking pictures with and a Mac that's stuck to my hip, so count on A LOT of updates! I have to get my beauty rest to go and see my consultant in the morning.

YAY!! She's Back!!!

I'm happy to hear your mother is doing better and she's coming to the states. Will she be living with you? If so, I'm sure she'll get used to the affection and she may even welcome it with open arms. I'll be praying for your sister and her children's safe flight to Haiti and back with your mother.

I can't believe someone swiped your undies...I don't dry any clothing myself, except for under shirts and socks. I purchased a hanging rack and just hang my clothes on it to dry. I've been doing this for more than 10 years and it works like a charm. Using a fan also speeds up the drying process. I think Victoria's Secret(which I think is that the founder is a man) is so overrated. Everyone always says how wonderful their products are but they just don't do anything for me. I thought they had more variety when it came to sizes... They even sized me wrong at one point..It's good you were able to purchase some new undies.

Congratulations on your new camera and on your 3rd month. Your locks are looking great!!!

As for school, I'm sure things will be on the up now that your mother will be joining you in the states..

I had found a lump in my breast a couple years back and it was a crazy experience. Thankfully, it was scar tissue from my breast reduction but it was still scary none the less. You can always schedule appts every 6 months to a year to make sure the lumps don't get bigger. Stress could also be playing a role in this as well..

Glad to see you're back to posting and I look forward to seeing pics from your new cam.

Aww! I was missed lol. Yes she's doing better and if my big sis follows directions well she'll be home with me and my other sister by Tuesday. Oh no she isn't taking the kids with her lol that would be a death sentence traveling with the bebe's but thank you I'm trying o see how her flight went since she hadn't left the tarmac when her plane should have been landing in Haiti. My mother better get used to the affection because I'm never letting her travel alone again! lol

I know that was so foul, I was wondering like do I have a stalker somewhere out there? I hung out some of my sisters underwear and they didn't get stolen, nope every single pair stayed on the clothing line. Some nasty person is doing something with my panties. -shiver-

Victoria Secret is really overrated and I think you're right a man created it. Figures, had it not been for the gift card I doubt I would've have gone in. A 34 double D is what she sized me I'm itty bitty if not for the boobs I would be a stick yet they seemed to fit but my other bras are all 32 C's, guess it depends on the brand. I keep telling my chest if they even think about growing I will get the life sucked out of them and place it in my behind lol. For the most part they listen.

Did you have your breast reduced by a plastic surgeon? I thought after surgery they were supposed to give you meds to keep your body from over producing scar tissue? Well I'm not chopping anything off yet, as long as the lump behaves it can stay.

Thanks for reading my blog and always offering positive feedback it means A LOT A LOt A LOT
