March 2011 Wrap up
I don’t know about you but it seem like March was a super long month.
I felt like it was never going to end.
But it finally has ended and tomorrow is the 1st day of April. :-)
In regards to my goals, here is where I stand:
Working out: :-( Once again I SUCKED BIG TIME on this goal. I know I need to exercise but my job is kicking my you know what and by the time I get off, I don’t feel like doing anything but coming home and crashing. But I know I can’t use this as an excuse for too long. I need to find more time in my busy schedule to work out at least 3x times a week.
Blogging: :-) 
Continuing on with my Blog A Day challenge. Only missed 6 day this month. Yay Me!
Spending time with family/friends: :-) Hung out my Boo Lady Z two weekends in a row…We went to the casino and also to a spoken word event. I also spent more time with my grandson. We have been enjoying our movie/popcorn dates. Love that that little dude!
Spend less, Save more: :-( I finally found my youngest daughter a car this month. So you know what that means. I am BROKE AGAIN!
Procrastinating: :-) I am so proud of myself….I have been working on my to do lists and haven’t been procrastinating…..I have so much work to do….so I am glad that I have been sticking with the promise that I made to myself at the end of the 2010. So far things are looking good….
The 1st quarter of 2011 is now in the books. I am looking forward to the upcoming months…My daughter’s 21st birthday is on April 30th and my birthday is on May 5 and finally in June I will be going on my cruise.
Yeah it looks like the upcoming months are going to be super busy!

We got it….
Blog world meet Daisy! Daisy meet the Blog world. Hey! Hi! Sup!
We pick up daughters car today. Whew! Am I glad that I finally got that off my mommy to do list.
Here are a few pictures!
Car shopping = Success
Why was it so hard to find a reasonable used car for my youngest daughter?
I have been looking on autotrader for the last month & I saw a few nice ones but the mileage was a little too high.
So today we are checked out a few lots to see what we can find.
1st lot = They had a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta. It was a nice car but the salesperson seem a little too eager to sale the car. He price was way to high & then he claimed he would give me 20% discount since I was playing cash. I’m think the price should have already been the 20% markdown price to begin with. I took his card & told him I would call him.
2nd lot – This next lot was not even worth us getting out the car for. These people didn’t even have the nerve to acknowledge us as we drove on the lot. They continued to talk amongst themselves while we look around. NOTHING! Onto to the next lot.
3rd lot – on this lot we find a couple nice cars so we went inside to talk to a salesperson. We talk to the owner & gave him our price range & he told us he didn’t have any cars on his lot for that price but recommend that we stop down his other lot.
4rd lot – On this lot we found the winner. A 1997 Honda Accord. He was right in our price range & the miles were okay. It has power windows, power locks, updated CD player and a sunroof. It is perfect for her.
We are going to pick it up tomorrow, so I will post a few pictures tomorrow.

Back at it again…
Because, I need to lose 10 pounds so I can be:
Bikini Ready – Oh No…I don’t know about that one.
Booty short ready – yeah that’s a NEGATIVE.
Nope, I am back at it again trying to drop these last stubborn 10 pounds that have created a home around my middle.
Completed my first workout in over month today. *I was slacking bad* Did 45 minutes on the treadmill and 30 crunches on the abs machine.
Working out after work seems like it would be better for me because then I can go home and relax.
My cruise to the Bahamas is the 2nd week of June so I have a 2 1/2 months to my butt in shape.

Quick Post

Everyone have a great workweek.

Random Happenings…
- Why does the U.S. have to be all up in every battle? I mean, we are not fully out of Iraq yet and we are now participating in another potential fight with Libya. I understand WHY we are involved but I still don’t like it.
- Chris Brown! Birthday buddy (May 5 baby!) what the heck is wrong with you….Please get it together. Or better yet, get some help for your temper. You have too much talent to lose it all because you can’t control your temper. I still love you BOO!
- Spent a few days with my grandson this week. I had so much fun. I think I will be spending more time with him. No stress, no pressure, no deadlines. Just pure FUN, FUN, FUN!
- What is UP with this weather? In less than a week, we have experience temperatures up to 70 degrees, gushy winds, dime-size hail and finally more SNOW. And it looks like we will have some more crazy weather coming up. When will it end?
- 88! That’s how many more days until our 1st cruise. I.can’t.wait!
- No plans for me this evening. I am going to go home and chill. At least that’s the plan. Let’s hope it stays this way.
Everyone have a great weekend.

What do you mean, its ONLY THURSDAY!
Oh my
Oh my
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Do you mean to tell me that it is ONLY Thursday?
How can that be? I was off on Monday and it still feels like this week has been dragging.
Here’s hoping that today goes super fast because I am so ready for the WEEKEND, BABY!
Alright, time to get back to work.
Wait…one more thing…..
Guess who is back in full effect?
Why the Happy Go Lucky Me? That’s who!
Boy, did I miss her….Welcome Back!

So Far Above the Drama
I been minding my own business lately. Trying to stay above the drama but it just seems like some people just like to make it hard for me.
Why! Who knows!
But this mess that transpired this morning has me ready to blow my TOP!
Owwwl, I am so happy that I learned to control my temper…..because every part of me wants to completely go off right now. 
But I won’t…..
This person is such a non motherf*^cking factor *Evelyn voice* right now that I don’t even have to waste my time saying or doing anything more.
Really starting to see that some people are destined to always be miserable & negative.
Oh well, time to go back to doing what I do best ———>SMILE!
Everyone have a good day!

Feeling Blue
Today is just one of those rare days that I constantly have to remain myself to smile. Most days, my smile is plastered all over my face. But today, no such luck. It is a forced smile.
I don’t know what us wrong me bur for the last few days I have been feeling some sort of way. Nothing wrong! I just don’t feel line my usually happy go lucky self.
But I know that I can’t sit around being in this depressed like state for too long because it may become a habit. And I don’t want that.
Nope!
I guess I will have to OD on positivity today so that it can counteract any negative or depressive thoughts that have been floating around in my head he last couple of days.
I will be fine. I know I will! *see positive thoughts already*
Have a happy Tuesday. Time for me to get to work.
