Something old something new

Happy Hump Day!!! Just a few more days until the weekend. Since everyone is talking about the Royal Wedding I thought I would put a little spin on it.

An American tradition for the bride is to have something old and something new. Something Old is meant to represent the link with the bride's own family and the past particularly mother or grandmother or even most distant relations. Something old is symbolic of continuity. Something New represents good luck and success and the brides hopes for a bright future in her new married life.Wearing a new item on your wedding day conveys the message that you and your husband are creating a new union that will endure forever.

So I just have one question, when is the last time you spent time with an old friend? I'm guessing if you are busy like me its been a while. Try to take time out for that special friend who was with you for quite some time. All it takes is a simple text, phone call, facebook message, tweet.....you get the point. With today's technology you could talk to someone at least five different ways. All I'm trying to get at is don't forget about the people in your life. If your friends are like mine they probably wouldn't mind getting together and meeting the new friends in you life. The more people the more fun that's bound to happen.

Something Keeps Pulling Me Back

Why do we always complain about the person we are with to others but then take them back with open arms?

 I asked this question the other day in hopes to come to one clear answer as to why so many people put themselves through so much pain. The responses I got were just about the same; we have history together, we love each other, we sometimes just push each other’s button or my favorite response opposites attract.

The one answer that stood out the most to me was from a male friend who decided to give his relationship one more try. He felt she was worth it at the time. When he said this I thought to myself why would you put time and effort into something that you aren't for certain about?  However, once I thought about all the chances I gave someone at one point thinking things would get better, I realized that that’s what love is all about, taking risks for the person you see fit as your companion. The only hard part is making that decision. The only advice I can give you is if you do decide to take back that person and try again make sure you don't let everyone know everything. You will look like your holding on to a lost cause. No one truly knows your situation but you. Good luck on whatever choice you make.

Living for the Weekend

 The weekend is over and it's time to get ready for the work week. My weekend was very exciting I wish it didn't have to end. Friday night my sweetheart and I went on a double date with a classmate. His girlfriend was quite interesting. I'm going to think positive on the situation and leave at just that. We went to see Scream 4. I am a huge horror film fan. I don't know what it is but I love to be scared. The movie was fabulous just like I thought it would be. When I was younger I watched the Scream trilogy and really enjoyed the who done it plot. I thought I had it figured out in the most recent film but I was completely wrong, I enjoyed that it had a different twist at the end.

Saturday night I went to Bentley's House of Soul for a birthday party. A majority of my family came to celebrate. DJ Crisis was there and I was too hype. He definitely knows how to get a crowd going. I don't think there was one time where people weren't on the dance floor. Since the dance floor is my favorite place to be at the club, I don't think I moved from there until it was time to go.  I also ran into an old friend while there which was a nice surprise.

I need to get back in the gym because Sunday morning I woke up with leg cramps. Going out the previous night showed me how out of shape I really was. Sunday morning I went to church with my sweetheart. I really liked the service for Easter Sunday. They didn't have a guest speaker like some churches sometimes do but they had a skit of a Roman soldier telling his story of the cruifixication of Jesus Christ.  They also have an amazing praise team called Acapello. The group consists of eight adults but they sound as if it were a full mass choir. They have the most beautiful voices.

Welcome Back

So I promise you this is the last time you will have to wait longer than two days for a new post. I have moved into my new place and love it. I still miss my roommate don't get me wrong but being on my own feels great.  I dont have much to write about today so I hope you enjoy your Easter weekend with friends and family.

The Truth as I See It

Good afternoon beautiful people! Today's post is coming out a little earlier than usual but I’m trying something new. The other night I was talking with a close friend of mine and she asked a question that every woman has asked at one point and time in their life, " Where are all the good men?" Well guess what beautiful people I have come up with a valid answer. There are two maybe three possibilities.

 

1. He is already with an amazing woman

             Have you ever seen those couples when you out dining alone? (why does that always happen...Kayne shrug) They always seem to look so happy and complement each other perfectly. They even look like they have similar features. Don't be jealous your great man could be around the corner.

2. He is not into women

              Not much to elaborate on this one. He just ain’t that into you honey, he’s looking for a man himself. Watch out ladies this is the one who always rambles and can talk for hours about nothing.

 (just like a bestie..huh)

3. He is with a trifling woman.

              You might not believe this last statement but it is true. Many good men are with women that are trifling. It happens because of the 90 day rule. She seems too good to be true. Well she is! She is only acting like a caring woman to reel him in, once she sinks her claws into him it’s a done deal. (quietly snickers)

But seriously folks that's the reasons take it or leave it. All I got to say is you just have to be more careful!

Moving on up



In one week I will consider myself truely independent because I will be moving out and no longer having a roommate. It is a bitter sweet moment, I'm excited to take the next step to becoming a sucessful independent woman however it can be a litte overwhelming. To be honest I have not packed one box. Everything is still in its orignal place (organized chaos). I constantly tell myself that I work best close to the deadline but in reality, I'm don't believe I'm ready for the big change that is about to happen.  The only thing keeping me focused is relazing that this is only a small obstacle I must overcome to achieve my dreams in life.  If you ever get to a point where you are just about to give up don't. The fight is almost over you just have to get back in the ring.

Is it really necessary?

I used to think that titles meant something and once it was in place there were certain rules both parties knew. I was definitely wrong. Just because you are given a title doesn't mean things are going to change or last for a long time. Take note from the very beginning of your relationship. If things aren't going the way you want them to don't think it will get better once you make things official. If anything that's one sure way to let the other person know its okay to act a certain way and still reap benefits. Also adding title doesn't help  it actually adds more work and sometimes only slides the dirt under the rug.  Relationships are hard work. Two people have to  put time and effort into it. If it was a one man show you would be considered single. So before you rush into having titles for that special someone make sure things are the way you want it to be. Don't settle be willing to compromise, remember it takes two baby!

Lost in Reality

The first day of the week is coming to an end and I couldn't be happier. I believe that weekends should last three days instead of two because by Saturday evening you already know the weekend is halfway over. Sadness. My weekend was very relaxing and I wish that every weekend could be stress free. Friday evening I attended a birthday/pokeno party. If you're wondering what pokeno is I will explain it in one sentence. A very addictive and  competitive game where you and your friends exchange small amounts of money(change) by luck of a card draw. It probably doesnt sound as exciting as it really is, but the game is intense. I don't play just watch other women loose their money and complain . Saturday I was asked to house sit for a cousin and it was like a small getaway from reality. I enjoyed the time away from home and being alone for two days. I definately encourage everyone to take a break from the everyday norm to enjoy life. I sometimes feel as if people  are always running from place to place without really enjoying the little moments in life that make it beautiful. Find time in your busy schedule this week  to just do something you might enjoy that you haven't done in a while. This will not only help you relieve stress but also allow you to have a relaxing moment alone and thats something we all deserve.

I Saw You Looking

Sorry I took so long to post another blog its been one crazy month. So with that said, I was thinking about dating and how women tend to not approach men as often as they should. I can definitely say that I have fell victim to this many times. I watch them from a distance and just wish I could say something witty or clever to grasp their attention without looking silly. Ladies I'd hate to say this but men are imtimated 75% of the time when they approach you. They dont want to come off to strong, say the wrong thing or even not be your type of man. So with that said the next time you see a guy that you think is attractive make him realize that you want him. Make eye contact and smile or if your walking by him just saying hello does wonders. It gives him the courage to make the next move. Try it out this weekend when you are out enjoying your weekend. You wont be disappointed!!
