Still breathing....

I haven't posted in a minute. Nothing really of substance to talk about. Right now I'm in the process of moving..yet again. Nothing major...only like 10-12 mins from where I was. It's all good though. I will just be glad when it's all said and done!! :-)

Age Ain't Nuthin' But A Number...

The hell it is. I thought when you turned 18...you GREW UP! Apparently not. I've noticed in the past few weeks how a generous amount of so-called GROWN men and women have been acting real YOUNG! People throw around words like "hatin", "Being fake", and "childish"...when it is in fact these individuals who are behaving in such a manner. It's different to hate on someone and to not agree with what they do or to give criticism. It is a difference between choosing to IGNORE individuals or their actions and "being fake". Then when you don't stoop to immature measures...it is called being "childish"....wtf? People need to take a closer look at themselves....pull a Michael Jackson and take a look at the man in the mirror. What they see staring back at them just might not be who or what they think they are? Nobody is perfect, but I'm so sick of the so-called pot calling the kettle black. When will people just learn to keep it moving! Who cares!?!? Life is too short for the petty B.S. Stop reading so much into nothing. Wow someone isn't laughing and joking with you today...does that mean they are mad at you? Nope..maybe they got alot on their mind. Maybe they don't feel well. Maybe they are unhappy or just found out something bad/upsetting. You never know...but making assumptions that are INCORRECT only make matters worse. I for one don't look into anything extra unless you go out of your way to make it extra. If there are SEVERAL factors pointing at a problem..then I will take note and KEEP IT MOVING! Unless you are CLOSE fam or a best friend...I'm not bothered by it. You'll get over it....andif not..that's on you.

I'm just saying.....grow up! You aren't in high school....or shall I say..elementary school anymore!

The truth shall set you free

So much has gone on and is going on but I don't even wanna touch on any of it....what I'm here to speak about is one of my biggest pet peeves: LIARS/LYING . Okay, I've been told for a long time that I am MEAN or EVIL. The jist of this comes from be being brutally HONEST or blunt about facts. I am not one to sugar coat anything. WHY? Because those that I care about, I expect to be the same way with me. I'd rather you let me know what's up and RESPECT you for that, then to find out that you think, thought, or knew something differently than you put on. I respect honest opinions. I think it's my brutal honesty that keeps me closer to males than females. That's an odd logic..but it's true. WHY? Because I've had close female friends in the past that I offered up my thoughts on situations that they were involved in, things that I personally did not agree with. I didn't give ultimatums or anything like that just did the friendly thing: pulled them to the side and expressed my OPINIONS...didn't say this is what you SHOULD do or I'm out. Nope. I merely said, I don't think this is right or you may want to think about the consequences of this.....the final outcome..these SO CALLED individuals ended up on some MUTE s**t! Okay..whateva, not hurting me. I mean this is what a TRUE friend does, so apparently the level of friendship wasn't mutual. You live and you learn. I just don't get lying...yea we all probably tell a small lie here and there. I mean if you want to get out of doing something or going someplace....okay..stretch the truth. What I don't understand are the people who lie and get no type of benefit from making up the b.s. that they make up. I mean really...what is the point? I mean and what's even worse and when you find out that someone has been lying or you KNOW that what someone has told you is a lie, but the other person is not aware of the fact that you know. I'm definitely feeling some kinda way about this subject right now, due to some personal incidents in the past week or 2, but Karma is definitely a bitch and when she comes around...it is I who will have the last laugh!!!! Bwwahahahahaha!

People just really on some other *ish* these days. Between being phony and 2 faced...the lies are just out of control. To these individuals..I say "GO THAT WAY" !!!! And people wonder why I have stopped fooling with them like that. *sucks teeth* PUHLEASEEE!!! Where are the good HONEST people at? Are we a dying breed? Did truth go out the door like common sense?

Neglect....

I'm guilty. I haven't posted an entry into my blog in a very long time. I have actually been kinda doing me. Having fun. Living life. I could probably post a book right now with updates since the last post...but I ain't really feeling it right now. I'll be back soon with a post....I promise.


Until then....catch me on Twitter. :-) http://twitter.com/UniiqueChiq

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:

http://www.aetv.com/crime-360/


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.....
