Self Reminder

So this isn't really a blog post..it's just me reminding myself that the season premiere of Crime 360 comes on May 21st. If you don't know what it is....go here:

Sad Richmond finally gets some tv play and it's a CRIME show! *smh*

A Quickie....

Nope..not posting anything of the sexual nature. Just a quick post to let everyone know that I am STILL in the land of the living. Just grinding and trying to stay afloat in this crazy world.

Anywho.... I have become semi...(seriously..just a little bit) addicted to Twitter. Check the right column over there --> and follow your girl. Myspace is pretty much dead to me. I go on to check mail and jump right back off. Not feeling it anymore. Too much drama and stupid stuff. I still mess w/ Facebook for now and I have ventured back into Fubar. It's something to do.

Jigga's been seizure free....again for a month! WOOHOO!! I refuse to use any of the Advantix/Frontline/etc products right now because for real...I think that K9 Advantix was the culprit as I have stated before. I used Skin So Soft (shouts to my side gig as an Avon lady..lol)on him and he's been cool so far. He still saying "ain't no bugs on me" NO THANKS TO ADVANTIX!!! He is, however, gaining mad weight. The vet said the seizure meds would make him eat more. They never lied. He's probably around 11 or 12 lbs now...a month ago he was 8. His legs still long and boney..pretty soon he won't be able to hold himself up.

So...decided to update the list of thing I planned on doing this year to see how much I've done thus far. I also said I'd add to the list....well let me see what I can cross off and/or add:

1) a great two day 30th Birthday celebration


2) being in DC for the Presidential Inauguration


3) going to NY to visit the other fam I have up there


4) getting out and doing more fun stuff (less clubbin' more....something else!!)


5) taking a vacation, or 2, or 3


6) settling down *gasp* ....we'll see about this one


7) reaching that 5 year mark at my job. That is an ABSOLUTE first for me... 2.5 years is usually my max @ a place of employment


8) a new whip -- this is kinda TOP priority!!

9) Head to the beach in June for my homegirl's bday

10) Go against the grain and see what's good with "him"!

11) Write more - the poems clear my mind

12) Get another part time gig....technically I have 2 side gigs..but yea...I need #3


....hmm that is it for now.

I got a headache..... THIS big..

So I have had a headache basically every single day for the past week and a half. This is crazy. I know it's partly sinuses but mostly stress. Even factors that I don't think are bothering me..I know they are. UGHHH! I'm no stranger to headaches though. I've gone to the neurologist and I've had MRI's and all that. It's a catch 22 situation for me. Tylenol works..but only for like 1 or 2 hours. Not long enough to take another dosage and this is with 8 hr Extended Tabs....Ibuprofen DEFINITELY works but because it's so hard on the stomach..my dr. suggested NOT getting in the habit of using them that much. I can't take Migraine meds...cuz I'm not allowed to have caffeine. Only me!!! If it's not one thing..it's another

One stress off of me is that I have gotten my drama filled car off my hands....and gotten a new car. That is stress relief and new stress at the same time..MORE DEBT!! WOOHOO! LOL But at least I have reliable transportation. My car decides to get stupid as SOON as my warranty ran out. OF COURSE!!!

I have slept most of the day and shockingly, I am actually sleepy now! So guess I'll turn in shortly!

Making up for lost time

So blog world, here I am again...Posting a semi-overdue post. First off...old business...Jigga's seizures got super out of control. Ended up having 4 in 4 days. His seizure meds have been upped to 1/2 a pill twice a day. This dog is truly taking me through it. Thank god I'm an animal lover. Everybody says he's getting me ready for motherhood. Lord knows, my child gonna be STRAIGHT then because this dog has a wardrobe, an insurance plan that includes dental, is on medicine that I have to base MY schedule around. It's insane. But I'm getting through it.

It's been raining alot lately. The weather is still crazy (hot/cold, rain/sun)...so making plans is not coming easy. Last weekend I did NOTHING. Lounged around the crib the whole time..even with Sunday being pretty nice. I decided to make up for it this weekend...and I have. Hung out with my brother and his g/f @ TGIFridays for a couple of hours. Man, we seen some celeb lookalikes and some mo' *ish* up in there. Then caught up with a friend...who has been M.I.A (to say the least) for the past like 6 months. Got a few things off my chest that I've been holding in (shockingly) for months. Had dinner and a movie outting. Good times like always. Today I planned to lay low all day, butttttttt now I'm going to the movies...again..LOL Then tonight...CLUB time to celebrate my homegirl's bday. This is going to be crazy. We go all out for bdays around here.

Besides my busy weekend, everything is basically the same ol same ol'. Think I'm gonna get another part time job. I do have one, but I never go. LOL They even called me Thurs to say they had a shift...mind you..I haven't worked since March of 2008. Good to have something in ya back pocket to fall back on for some extra change if/when you need to. Nothing else really new. Ready to start making these mini vacations happen. Thinking about changing my scenery on a permanent basis soon possibly. Been dealing with crazy *ish* from certain individuals. UGH! I ignore it...I just turned 30...I wasn't childish when it was excusable, and I won't stoop to those levels now as a grown up. `Nuff Said!

Oh yea...
The past vs present situation....takes on a whole new twist. The blast from the past from the previous entry has been replaced w/ another one. LOL

THE SAGA CONTINUES...........

It's just one of those daysssssssssssss

Man, was awaken at 5 am to yet another seizure episode with Jigga. 3 in 3 days. They told me to up his seizure medicine on yesterday..which I did and wow..it's still going on. This is reallllyyyy starting to get on my nerves. Went from a month and a week seizure free to daily. I am so exhausted. He has been pacing and driving me crazy since. I had to attempt to get more sleep b4 I head in to work. Didn't really happen because he wants to keep jumping off the bed and then can't get his disoriented behind BACK on the bed after so as soon as I nod off...he up by my face scratching and crying. *SIGH* It's gonna be a longggggggggg day. The rain has made it's ugly return. I am NOT feeling that. I've just had a rough week....scratch that..the whole month of March has been HELL for me thus far!!!! It's all good though...I'MA SURVIVORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! (at least I think so!)


....to be continued

Guess who's bizzzaacckkk

...Well sorta kinda!!! I have gotten over my "not so happy" time of the year. Now I'm just doing me. Work is beyond chaotic and causing my blood pressure to be sky high (I'm sure because of the headaches I'm keeping on the regular). I hate a bunch of drama that is not necessary for ANY reason. Just urks me. Anywho, the weather has been insane. One day it's 80...three days later we have a snow storm dumping 8 to 10 inches of the white stuff and having to miss work...then BOOM it's 80 again..then 5 days later...more snow and ice. V-A weather..you gotta love it. That is why everybody and their mama continues to be sick. Off and On....Patient First has GOT to be making that paper!

I'm thinking about the warm up though. Tomorrow is the first day of spring. I have been vacation-less for 10+ years. Yea, you read it right. Yea I have been to NY in that time span and to like Kings Dominion...but all of these trips came with b.s and drama and I don't even count them as vacations or get-a-ways. So yea, ol' girl will be hitting the highways this summer. It is a MUST! If I don't..I will lose my mind. What little bit I have left.

I've made some serious adjustments as far as the company I keep since the beginning of the year. A few people have definitely been downgraded and pretty much eliminated from the list. I don't have time for foolishness, games, lies, and people who are just plain ol' bums. LOL I can't do it. I don't need people trying to leech off of me. Bottom feeders and leeches are not needed. I am trying to do thangs!! I can't have people holding me down, which some people just thrive off of.

I got quite a few things to look forward to this year. Another big cookout that me and my brother and his g/f throw every year. We plan on moving it to June this year. One of my best friends is getting married to my 'unofficial' little brother in July and yes I'm in the wedding. Always a bridesmaid...never the bride...but trust..no complaints here. . A few planned trips w/ a few homies are in the works also. Hopefully it all goes according to plan.

Besides all that...just been living life and taking it all in one day at a time. Still dealing with Jigga (the dog)'s seizure issue. He's on seizure medicine and was fine and seizureless for a month and a week and then BOOM...2 in 2 days. I seriously think its the K9 Advantix because it had been exactly a month and a few days (yea I was a little late on the dosage)...and soon as he got it..like a day later...BOOM...here goes a seizure. So I will be switching up his Flea/Tick prevention ASAP!!! I googled it and found WAYYYY too many dogs who they figured this out TOO late...so umm yea...I'm switching. Better safe than sorry. I got too much money invested right about now.

I got a few other mental dilemmas going on in the love life category! LOL A blast from the past vs someone fresh off the block. Who knows how this will play out.....


TO BE CONTINUED.......

It's that time....

..the time of the year that I ain't really feeling. March 8th of 1997 changed my life forever....and March 8th of 2008 marked a new GOOD memory for that day. However, the prior March 8th's events far outweigh the more recent one. With that being said....I'm gonna take a break from my blog and do me for a little while....I shall return.....at some point...with possibly lots of stories to tell. But until then...

Saturday, Feb. 14th

Yea to most, it's known as Valentine's Day. I've never really been a fan of this day. Single or not....just never got into the hype. This year especially.....this image sums up my feelings on the whole matter:

A break from life....

Ok so a friend sent me this...and I mean....what is really going on with the news and tv these days with these bloopers...first the porn commercial snippet that aired during the Super Bowl for some....to this kind of madness:





** SHAKING MY HEAD **

Oh so sick & tired

Have you ever just been sick and tired of being sick and tired? I mean I really just need to get away from everything that is MY normal life. I need a vacation something terrible and the sad thing is, the things that are going on to make me sick and tired are the same reason I can't get away right now. If that makes ANY sense. I just can't wait until the weather changes up and the warmth is here to stay. I then know it'll be gathering/cookout time for myself and my brother almost every weekend...so things will be jumping on the regular for the most part. Nothing beats impromptu gatherings...just shooting the s**t and drankin'. LOL Well I don't really drink like that, but hey...I gets my sip on occasionally. Until then, I'll rely on possibly hanging out with my new 'homie'. :-) Couldn't have come at a better time and just might be that CHANGE in `09 that I need. Well....that depends on if he is really the spontaneous, get up and go kinda fella that he seems to be. We shall see.

Besides that..more drama with the dog. I'm gonna end up in the nut house and the poor house behind this 8 lb mutt of mine. (I can call him 'mutt' since he's mine and he IS a mixed breed...but don't you DARE talk about my baby like that). All this crap he's putting me through, it's a good thing I don't have kids. He went from having seizures every 11 to 12 days...til this morning..he had 2 in less than 6 hours. *sigh* So more tests!!! Still no answers...and he'll be going to a specialist in the next week or so. I just hope it's nothing too major or that they will just put him on some low dosage seizure meds and be done. Just sucks because the medicine has all these possible side effects...and the seizures don't harm him..they just drive me crazy and upset the heck out of me.

Anywho, that's really all I have to report. Super Bowl was crazy...it's enough talk about that so I don't even need to go there. I'm not a football person....so I'm waiting for the All Star game on Feb. 15th.
