********Fire Works********

Let's get down to business!! I wanted to share with you my most recent endeavor. Let's rewind first....I graduated from Coppin State University several years ago with a Bachelor of Science Degree. My plan of action was to continue my education with a Master's Degree. Unfortunately, we all know that if you take a break from school its very difficult to go back. So, after several years of working, soul searching and career chasing. I finally decided to go back to school. I was accepted to the University of MD - University College in the Human Resource Management Program!! Whoop Whoop!! Yea, for me!! I am super duper excited!!! I like to believe that I'm an over achiever, a mover and a shaker and a risk taker. While, undergrad was  a challenge, I'm mentally prepared for any obstacle that this program may toss my way!! Therefore, as of September, I'lll be in hibernation mode. My goal is to juggle my responsibilities in school  and keep you updated on my blog!! Anything that comes easy ain't worth having

 I'm cognitive of the potential stress and lack of a social life in the
 near future.But, it will be well worth the struggle! Wish me luck Dolls!

My Acceptance Letter!!!

Its blurry - But you get the point! My BB takes horrible pics. Ugh!



Fourth of July Weekend

I wanted to post a few pics from my 4th of July weekend. This weekend was extremely busy! My intentions were to attend the R.Kelly concert on Friday, as well as several "barbeque's." It didn't quite turn out that way. Unfortunately, moving into my new apartment consumed the majority of my time. So, I missed the concert! : (

Luckily, I was able to catch the 4th of July fire works. (Well, from my aunt's backyard.) lol. And, get some grub! Grilled hot dogs and turkey burgers are the best! I live for grilled food. lol.  Aunt Neecy's cook-out was the first stop. I captured some pics of the kids playing with  fire works.

Pardon the big azz Sunflowers, if they are blocking the view. lol

Next stop!! Aunt Phylis's cook-out! (Tiffany's mom)  I have known Tiff's family since I was a small child, and they are a very close knit family. I admire their bond and commitment to family first!

 Great group of people! My second Family!!

DJ Tidy Fresh to Death....lol

America's Next Top Models...Smh! lol

My fav pic. We so love each other!

Smooches : )

Go Girls - It's Your Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, technically its "our" birthday. I happen to share my Bday with my twin sister, Nakita.  The month of the best zodiac sign in thee world. #TeamGemini. The Gemini personality stands out as the zodiac sign that knows something about just about everything, making them good conversationalists and interesting acquaintances. They are inquisitive and quick to digest new information and ideas. Intelligent and logical, but with a lot of nervous energy, Gemini likes to keep busy and expand their horizons whenever opportunities arise, often multitasking between several interests. <---------This is totally ME!

Where do I began with "Our" Birthday Adventure...........

First.....we went to "Kona Grill." This time around was great! The happy hour menu was fantastic. I think we ordered everything on the menu. We had a tastes testing session. And "Kona Grill" did not disappoint. Again, I wasn't as pleased with the Sushi selection, however the American food was tasty!



These were amazing! In love with their Lettuce wraps!




D stuffing his face and Tamia with a piece of chicken hanging out of her mouth. lol



My Sisters



I Love this Pic! : )



Red Velvet Bday Cupcakes!

Make a wish....

The Gang is all here!

Time to open Gifts!!!!!!

Thanks D for my Gift card! I spent it at the M.A.C counter! lol

Next....We walked across the street to the Harbor. Keep in mind, it was about 108 degrees outside, even though the sun had set. I have not been to the Harbor in years. I remember when I was a young diva in training. Myself, Kina, Nakita and Ebonee all purchased D&G t-shirts, took the #5 bus to the Harbor downtown on Easter. Those shirts were as fake as a 2 dollar bill. lol. But, I appreciate the innocence and the fact that we didn't care what people thought about us. We just wanted to have fun! Not a care in the world.

Anyway, we didn't walk far, because the humidity was beating us up.....Gosh! It was so hot! And, I'm a summer baby. So, I love the sun and the heat! It's the humidity that I hate. It was so unbearable.

Michelle Obama aka Tiff...Lol

We look agitated....The heat was kicking our butts! lol

On our walk back to our vehicles, we decided to walk thru the Harbor Place, just to get the feel of that good air conditioner. As, we made our way pass the shops..look what we came across....

The Fudgery! Who knew they were still in business??

Not me! Famous for discovering home grown "Dru Hill."

They were cleaning up to close down the shop for the evening. But one of the guys recognized my sister and I. The first thing people say when they see my sister and I..... "Didn't y'all go to Lake Clifton?" lol...Anywho, we persuaded the guys to sing Happy Birthday to us!!



He checked my sis ID to make sure our Bday's were that day. smh! 



Singing Happy Birthday to Ya!!! (In my Stevie Wonder Voice)



How bout around of applause!!


They were too sweet and could really sing! Made us feel so special!

Now, we could not end our night without.......

Yes, Teia tripped off the curb. Apparently, she didn't see  the curb.... and asked where did it come from? Ummmmmmm?? I'm sure that curb has been there for quite sometime. I know she is going to kill me for posting this picture. It was only funny after we realized she was ok. Love you Teia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

To Be Continued..................In Philly................Stay Tuned!


Smooches : )

April Showers: Bring May Flowers...

Just so you know, I have done a terrible job this week with diet and exercise, thanks to Mother Nature. Well, I can’t blame her for my diet, but she has completely destroyed my workout plan. You all know, that I run around the track several times a week as apart of my exercise regimen. Due to our current climate and weather conditions, I have been unable to enjoy the outdoors because every 5 minutes there is a rain storm. Ugh!  However, I did loose 1-2 inches around the hip and bootie area, but I don’t want to loose my bootie! #sadface…….lol…

Anyway, while this week was gloomy, there was some sunshine at the end of the storm. And its called Happy Hour! Whoop Whoop! My favorite! I really want to kiss the person who invented Happy Hour… $5.00 cocktails and appetizers!!! Say whaaaaaaaat!!?? Lol.

Anywho, some of the girls/guys and I went to happy hour at Langerman’s. Yesss, again!!! I told you that I was going back for more shrimp and grits. As usual, we had a blast. Having good conversation with friends is always a great ending to a long work week. We chatted about friendships, reality television, summer trips and the location of our next happy hour! Lol



Blocking Tamia from jumping in our Pic. lol

                                     

Tamia bighead in the background! smh! Always tryna jump in a pic. Hahaha

Take 2!

Tiff and Benny - & Tamia?!!  Again!!!! smh!

I'm not even going to say a word! lol

Nakita & My Chris

And this is so random! But, I have placed myself on a strict "No shopping" budget. And, while I have completed my task with flying colors for the past 2-3 months. Retail therapy has reared its ugly little head and pulled me back in. I did do a little shopping last week, nothing major! Just enough to get me over for at least another month. Shopping for me is like crack to a drug addicted. I just gotta have it. There lies irony in my addiction. For the most part, I don't wear my garments immediately. It sometimes takes me months to wear an item. And they just sit in my closet with the price tags. Smh! Guilty! Lock me up and throw away the keys. lol

Now, I finally did some spring cleaning. Out with winter, In with Spring! I cleaned out the moth balls from my spring garments that were packaged and boxed away in my hallway closet. lol. It took me 2 hours to organize my closet. I usually color coordinate everything, but I wasn't in the mood.

Nothing major, but I created more space - So, I finally have some available hangers!

I'm OCD when it comes to organization, especially my closet! No wire hangers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate wire hangers. "They are like so 2001"....(In my Valley Girl voice).

I charge $30.00 per hour for my services. lol

Smooches : )
