Cause we' movin' on Uuup, to tha east side....
Ok, well, were not there yet but progress has definitely been made. I am now back in school trying to finish my B.A. For those who don't know I do not like to do things in order.Long story short: finished high school, had kid, had second kid, started college, played collegiate sports, met man of dreams, took break from college, trying to get married, started college again(but half way there), looking for job.
So the back in school part is fantabulas. I only need about 1 year maybe a little more and I will be done with that. Unless I choose to go on further. I have an interview today for a decent job. By decent I mean I will not be stocking shelves, flipping burgers, running registers, killing my back, or working for less than 10 bucks an hour. But, not great. not working for more than 20 bucks an hour, not the best hours (not bad either), with good benefits, not too far from the crib, and with a new company with lots of room to grow.
I am supposed to be doing my nails right now so that I look good for the interview. I just had to tell someone that I am crunk about it. It is one small step for my broke butt, and on giant step for...ok, it is just a small step, but still in the right direction. I need about 50 more steps. This is a good start.
Oh, yea, that huge mountain called debt, I am scaling that too. So, I guess this is a yea me, pat on the back, Yea I want a cookie, boost me up, and make myself feel good and keep fighting kind of post. I needed it

Grumble, grumble, grumble...
It is indeed a colossal disaster that has taken place in New Orleans. What seemed to be bad turned in to horrifying over night. In the following days not many have had reason to repose. It has been one bad dream after another for those who are victim to Katrina and all of her wrath.Many of us have been outraged at the slow response time and at some of the comments made by our leaders. We all know what was said so I do not have to write it. I have heard and made many comments and complaints about this. I find some of it appaling. Some have even gone so far as to blame the President for the hurricane itself.
Now, I have NEVER been a fan of W. However, the hurricane is not his fault. The delay of action, maybe. But how many disasters of this calibur have we encountered? Also, I do not say this in his defense. My point is that there will be human error. Mistakes will be made. Maybe W is prejudice, maybe he is not. I really don't care (well right now I don't). What matters is that those that are still needing help recieve it. What matters is that the bodies of the dead are gathered and properly respected. There are children with no parents. There are people who are dead and their family doesn't even know it yet.
And why are accusations and blame a current topic for concern? Why, can we please do that later? I don't know everything, I don't even know much. I do know that there is a problem with the way this is being handled. Maybe someone can help me here, but this is America. Why is it ok for people to be left in a state of sub-poverty for any length of time. This is why I am not so sure about the U.S. always having its' nose in saving other countries. Don't we have poor and hungry and needy here? O.K., that is another can-o-worms. I am just really hurt by all of this. This could have been me and my family as easily as it could be you and yours. It may be you and yours for all I know.
My heart and my prayers and my love and any donations I can make go out to all of those in need.

I wanna be fine
Have you ever set out and decided that you were going to get in the best shape ever for the up coming season? Well, we all know brutha has (in his prep for Miami on the beach). I decided that I was going to get in the best shape ever. I just want to be FINE. I am told that I already am, but it is not good enough for me. I think I am simply cute (very cute). But not fine like the video hoes and super models. Well, I want to look like dem hoes.So I began on this work out plan with the finest brotha I know. We go to the gym(that is where REAL work outs take place...you know who you are heffa), and work out and, we run, and we lift weights. I have really seen a change in my body. I am lovin it too...but DANG this hurts. My muscles ache and my feet are tired and I am catching cramps. I just don't know how bad I really want to be fine anymore. I mean, I am REALLY cute already. I know, I know, "no pain no gain." And yes I am drinking water and eating bananas and healthy crap. Yes I strech and I warm up, but this mess still hurts.
My "trainer" is also my man. Since he knows how wishy-washy and flighty I can be he has this habit of holding me to my word (I love him for that) and he is not letting me out of my previous desire's for fine-ness. See that I had to spell that fine-ness so that it would not look line finess. I think he has his own motive's in holding me to this one.
Well, really I am glad that is holding me to it, but I just wish it did not hurt sooo bad.
Oh, yea, missed you bloggers and your stories.
