So yes its my birthday! YAY ME! The nerve of me coming to work today on MY day...I can't even remember the last time I did such a thing. I personally believe your birth date is your personal holiday. But alas I'm counting down to my honeymoon/vacay so I had to save some leave...so here I am!
As I was driving into work today...slightly pissed about coming into work my whole attitude suddenly changed. I started to feel thankful for even having a job to come in to. Feeling blessed to have such a wonderful, thoughtful and loving partner in my husband. And feeling great that I have such awesome friends. So my negative attitude stopped dead in its tracks and I took a little moment just to thank God for living to see 28 years of age and just for everything HE has done for me and continues to do for me.
So, my purpose in writing this blog is to share this blessing: although things can always be worse, for those of us that have a real relationship with God, even when things look bad, God is just making the circumstances just right for things to be not just better, but AWESOME and WONDERFUL beyond your comprehension! Hopefully this will put a smile on your face if you're feeling down :)
Happy Memorial folks! Have a great long weekend ON PURPOSE!

The Story of a Passive Cyber Bully
Well not really one story, but more like VivalaDiva's annoyance at people who a passively trying to talk about you all on FB, Gchat, Twitter, MySpace (do people still use that?), etc.
IT REALLY GRINDS MY GEARS!!!!
Like seriously folks can we all just live by the golden rule: if you don't have something nice to say, say it to their face!
I don't understand it. I've always been about being REAL, so I truly don't understand the "smile-in-your-face BUT talk-about-you-on-a-social media outlet" There you are perusing FB status, playing games, g-chatting it up, ya know not doing any work what-so-ever. And you happen across that friend or frien-enemy and they going on you in their status...WTF? Can't stand it! Like let's be grown-ups (since we always claim to be so grown) and tell the person straight-up how you feel.
Truth be told, if you straight up with a person that's weight off of your shoulders. Now if said person who you were straight up with goes and talks about you on one of their many statuses ...that's their hang-up. Leave the situation alone. You've done your part, you were honest!
Think how much better the world would be if we would all grow up, be honest and straight forward with one another! *Sigh*
Hey, sometimes the truth hurts! *Shrugs*

Seeking Clarity...AGAIN!
Hello there!
This is my first blog so welcome and I hope you come back! If not well, it was nice of you to lurk anyway.
So for about the 5th time in my life I'm seeking clarity. In the past I've sought clarity on relationships and love. This time I'm seeking clarity on life. See a lot has happened this year (I's married now! lol...and the death of a close loved one) that has made me question my perspective on things....one of which is how I view people.
Don't get me wrong, I have some GREAT people in my life (shout out to my grad chap, my LSz, and my BFFs...yall kno who yall are, family, and last but not least my new hubby) BUT a lot of times I find myself trying to be everything to everyone and I'm slowly starting to realize that it just doesn't work that way. Honestly, for a huge part of my life I've been running to and from trying hard to make folks happy but I wasn't really making ME happy. And on the reals, I'm sick of it. I feel unappreciated! And at the end of the day if I'm ever laid up in an ER with an IV in my arm, there are only a hand-full of people that will be there for me. Those people are my priority and everyone else can just fall in line!
So, in thinking about my new attitude, some key things I plan do to are:
1. I'm returning to my old straight to the point, blunt and sarcastic self
2. NO more sparing people's feelings; sometimes the truth hurts...sorry!
3. My top two priorities are my relationship with God and my husband. Everything else is and will be secondary.
4. I will do a better job of living my life like there is no tomorrow because no one knows their check-out date.
