>What’s Playing on the iPod right now:  “Bang Bang” – Melonie Fiona

Today I found myself with some free time.  Weekends are mostly spent with the family, running errands, etc.  I dropped the girls off at the hair dresser and had some time to myself.  And where did I go? Straight to the book store.  I told myself I really needed to pick up the new copy of Kimberla Lawson Roby’s book.  Checked that off the list.  But I spent an hour in there just browsing the shelves.  And then it hit me.  I had to call my sister and discuss.  I love bookstores because I dream of seeing my own book displayed there.

I have got to finish this book.  I can see the life I want for myself.  I can’t give up on the dream now.

Peace.

I am all geared up for the new NBA season.  I love that my fave Lakers won but is this ring a little too much?

>What’s Playing on the iPod right now: “Epiphany” – Chrisette Michele

I am all into the NBA Finals and it helps that my LA Lakers are heading back to the Finals. In that light, I am loving the MVP Puppets commercials that Nike has out now. This one is my favorite.

Funny!

Okay, so I didn’t meet my self-imposed deadline to have my book finished by my birthday. New goal, June 20th. Gotta get to work.

Peace.

What’s Playing on the iPod right now: “Blame It” – Jamie Fox

Am I the only that finds this funny?! You may be broke but you can still get BUSY!

>What’s Playing on the iPod right now: “Stay Down”- Mary J Blige

I recently got connected on Facebook. Sister was talking about how its a great way to reconnect with classmates. So, I joined with some reservations. I thought it would be a waste of time and who really wants to hear from people you haven’t seen or thought about in years. But in reality I was worried that no one would want to be my friend. It was high school all over again. And who wants to be rejected online. Turns out that there was no need for hesitation. My friends may never equal 100 but I’m having fun away. So, check me on the Face.

Peace!

Got a phone call today from an old college suitemate. Flashback to the early 90’s, four young women assigned to share two rooms and one bathroom. You either become friends or you end up talking about the nasty habits of the other heifers in the room. Fortunately, we all became friends. We shared meals, study notes and tears. It’s amazing how you think you’ll be friends forever but after graduation, everyone goes their own way. Marriage and kids fill up your free time and you lose touch with college friends. Same thing happened to us.

And then Jes found me. Of course, it helped that my phone number has been the same for fourteen years. She called to say she’s getting married. Next month. Like in March 2009. Now the diet begins.
