A Year Older... Wiser... Happier.

Its been over a month since I've posted and even the last post wasnt about a dang thang. Everything has been moving so FAST lately. And then well, I turned 26 a couple weeks ago which was BY FAR the bestest birthday EVER....Why, you ask? Because I had an entire house full of family and friends singing (in 5 part harmony) that "I am the flower-thats-among-us". You had to be there. A truly tearjerking 5 stanzas it was.

To recap the last 60 or so days though...
Reentered corporate America after much resistance... but I'm so freegin happy with my job 'til it makes not nan bit of sense. God is GOOD! Found a new home in the heart of the city, so I'll be moving very soon... its so PLAYA PLAYA too! Can we say "Sex in the City meets Belly"? Yeah, its HAUTE! So every waking minute is spent shopping online for furniture. I've seen every website known to man woman and alien. Its become headache causing. :-( And then theres the luv life... the very luv life that I've vowed to keep private and off this site. But just know that ya girl is HAPPY and CONTENT with the current state of things. Be happy for me. *Insert smile here* Wrote a song for a very HOT HOT producer a couple weeks ago. We have to re-record this week with a new vocalist but its a dope record. Cross ya fingers... baby needs some Cantoni furniture! hehehe Started back working out in the gym recently... Today made my 6th consecutive day. YAY! I've got a 30 lb. goal.......... to reach by the end of the summer. EJ made me a meal plan today and I think I can actually do it in 6 weeks. Wanna bet me? See, I've been working out all along BUT it was all for naught because of my Boston Market Three-Side Sampler habit. My hungry-hungry hippo lookin a$$ thought that BM was a better health choice over fastfood each night for dinner sooooooooo........ for the last 2 months, I've been habitually stopping at BM for the #4 with Creamed Spinach, Sweet Potato Cassarole, Hot Cinnamon Apples and Cornbread (doesnt it taste like cake?!?)... all the while THINKING it had to be healthy for me... ITS VEGETABLES, right?! WRONG AGAIN! EJ did the Bodybugg thing today and we discovered that every time I ate that damn meal, I was ingesting about 1000 calories from that single serving. WTF!?!?!?!?!?

Needless to say, no more BM. I dont even want to tempt myself. My weakness for sweet potatoes is far too real. Instead, she has me on this meal plan that allows me 1700 calories daily... and I'm walking on a 11.0 incline at 3.8 mph on the treadmill, thanks to the suggestion of Oink. It used to be hard but its much easier now. Shannon is doing her boot camp sessions and we're both getting ready for our August 10th weigh in. Anybody got suggestions?? HOOK A SISTA UP!

No new Bill sightings. I'd hoped somehow, someway, he'd have made an appearance on my Bday... that wouldve been a PERFECT day for me. Well, it still was actually. But that came and went... as did Fathers Day. I really hope we talk soon. And strangely enough, same for an old high school "friend". This chick that I was close with during my senior year, and well, something of a misunderstanding came in between our friendship. Yeah it had to be that and some jealousy... seriously. And we've crossed paths in recent years when its been nothing but the fear of an assault charge from keeping me off that ass... because it would anger me that her stupidity threw out a good friendship over some BS and THEN had the nerve to be messy about it. WTF!? IS YOU SURRRRUS? But with time and wisdom comes patience, understanding and... get-over-it-ness. I'm over the drama. I'd like to talk to her. Air things out. Extend an olive branch, so to speak. Life is short and holding a grudge over her is NOT worth my blessings. No sir.

Yeah...
26 is already showing me wonderful possibilities and growth!
Thank you for being in my life, yall!
