Now that Halloween and Veterans day is over...what's next again?
ummm...oh yeah we have Thanksgiving right around the corner in exactly two week right? ..
*checking out my calendar* uhhhhh..yep it is in two weeks.
Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Have you decided on who's going to get busy in the kitchen or not? Would it be you...your partner...the parents..maybe one of them? Come on now someone has to prepare the big dinner :-)
..or will you be going to friends and eat up all their food?
Last year for Thanksgiving I went to my "friends" house, we cooked and actually had a great time.
Sometimes when you don't want to be bothered with all the messes and the cleaning you just go to friends house..am I right? :-) well not always the case because I helped them cleaned.
This year I plan on getting busy in the kitchen-yep I said it. I plan on cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the family and I am very excited about that.
I will also bake...I'd love to try to bake rum cake (although I'm not too good with the baking) but I will try to make some maybe this week or so and practice to see how it'll come out. Since I know someone who makes those on a regular I'll be asking for her help :-) I am too excited.
That will be my plan this Thanksgiving. I won't be working-I need a break.

Alicia Keys - Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)...yeah I am :-)
Alicia Keys - Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)...yeah I am :-)
I am so happy to share this song with you. Yeah I am late-what's new again? haaa haaa
As much as I LOVE this song I really don't think the video fits the song well-my opinion!
This song I feel like I am living it...I am happy where I am right now. I am grateful to have someone like her in my life.
Just listen to the words and you'll see how I'm really doing :-)

HAPPY LATE-HALLOWEEN AND ALL THAT
...Ok today is Halloween...blah blah we know that!
I honestly don't care for this "holiday" really. I mean it's good for the kids-yeah KIDS! because kids are allowed to pretend to be something else they're not but us adults (some) live as someone else-how sad!
...(since I give people their credits). One of my twitter buddies (@meliastarfucks) who RT'ed a quote by (@THE_BOONDOCKS). He tweeted "How is Halloween different from any other day? ;people already pretending to be something they're not"-it's totally true. Who cares about Halloween? I'd say. I guess I'm never into those things-dressing up and all that stuff. I actually tried doing and getting all excited about the costume thing for a while but then I say "fuck it!"...I stopped caring about stuff like that.
I rather save my money...stay home relax because after all I need it. I need my energy and my body is not the same as it was a couple of years ago haa haa #TRUTH though.
anyway i hope everyone and their mamas had a safe Halloween!
now time to get ya asses on a diet with all that nasty candy inside you :-)

A quick hello!
Hello world!
I am back...I know you all missed me *wink*
How are you guys and gals doing? What's new?
...now on my end all is great with me.
My mom came back all well. ...wel so is my dad-ughhh! now with him now is something else. As much as I love the miserable man I would sort of ok if he was still over there (lord forgive me). Don't get me wrong I appreciate him and he's a great father but when he starts talking and nagging it's like I want to get away..he never seems to know when to STOP yapping!
If I had Oprah's money I'd send him away for a while to go on a vacation. Seems to me he'smore happy back home and it's weird..Hmm! well he feels more at home and at peace.
Hope you all are ready to have a wonderful productive fall and winter-I am so ready :-)

HELLO FALL AND A NEW BEGINNING!
Hello World!
I know I've been MIA for a bit, but I'm back. It is exactly 1:52am on a Saturday morning-nope I'm not sleepy for some reason. I have alot on my mind. I don't know where to start and even if I try I don't think I can anyway.
Yeah my mom is still back home being treated-she was very ill and thanks to the LORD above she's still alive. She's doing much better, she's coming back at the end of this month and I can't wait to hold her..hug her and kiss her to tell her how much I missed her :-)
Lately things has been well on my end. Nothing quite exciting-wait! actually there are a few exciting things..I'm still alive well...still have my job and other things going on but SHhhh cause I don't want to spoil anything for me. But I have no complaints.
So I'll be going on vacation in December for a week and a half and I definitely can't wait for that. One thing I know for sure and believe is this vacation won't be like no other. I believe and have faith that my life will change for the better-Errr right GOD? :-)
I need to get away for a while. yeah I will be going alone again-hey don't fee;l bad for me..it's my choice..I don't know sometimes being alone is good.
I know the fall has great things in store for me and so on and guess what? I am so ready to take on every opportunities...chance that GOD has for me no matter what!
you watch :-)
...ok time for tea and maybe bed.....
goodnight/morning!

Enjoy the summer safely :-)
As I'm typing this I'm still in my tub filled with ice, yes ice tub and I'm in it. I couldn't take the heat anymore, it was too unbearable to stay out feeling that heat against my skin. It literally felt like I was being cooked...I just cooked and that kitchen felt like it was 1000 degrees-wheewww!
I know I was born in a hot climate but it was not humid...it's hot and sunny there but there's always a cool breeze flowing around :-)
Also I haven't been in that climate in years so I'm not used to it. I love cool weather, the cool breeze against my skin. That I can live with.
...Anyhow I know some of you are being cooked inside of your apartments or houses, and even in general because after all there's no hiding from this heat. This post is for everyone. The people with the ACS, FANS and some unfortunately with nothing.
I'm sure most of you might know how to keep cool and may find this post "useless" but do you actually know the right way to keep cool? Yes there is such a thing as The Right Way.
This heat is dangerous to us and especially for small children(s) and the elderly. If we're not careful enough and take care of each other and ourselves we'll literally be cooked and die lol....sorry but it's true.
...with that said there are a few great steps to take to keep cool while enjoy this sauna....I meant "summer"......just follow these steps and you'll be fine..or so you should :-)
The first thing we need when we're thirsty is what again? WATER! No matter what when we're thirsty or just ate what do we grab first to down WATER...that's because water is LIFE. It does a lot for the body; it cleanse it, cools it, it's good for our skin, it's basically something we should drink more often than the evil sodas (don't care if it's diet either which is WOST).
Now don't you think it's a good idea to have a bottle or glass of iced water ready on hand for this summer? Water quench your thirst...come ON you know it does so stop lying to yourself..go ahead and grab a bottle or two.
...people people yeah YOU! I keeping hearing, ready people's status and reading their tweets about the latest perfumes. There's nothing wrong with smelling good and getting the latest perfume but remember it's summer and that heat doesn't go well with alcohol on the skin...it doesn't go well with strong scent on the skin. It can actually do some great damage to the skin. I know someone who experienced a first degree burn from wearing Coco chanel...yep it happened. This perfume smells great but it's so strong that when you wear it on days like this it can actually affect your skin. I know everyone's skin is different and some of you has alligator skin but still be careful.
I know some people who still wears White Diamonds-UGHH! seriously that perfume is something else....White Diamonds season is over..that's like spraying yourself with gasoline and get ready for the flames..the smell is not so pleasant either.
The best way I'd suggest anyone to keep the good smell without doing any damages to their skin is by using simple body splash. The body splash is not as strong as the pure perfume and it last long just as a perfume (well you just have to get a good brand).
I'd suggest these from Bath and Body works. I have a few of them, smells great and they last throughout the whole day. They're not as strong as perfumes.
You can either do those body splashes or head to Victoria's Secret or maybe The Body Shop and grab a few....so GO!
while you all spraying on those lovely body splash scent remember to coat your skin with SUNBLOCK! yes the cream that protects your skin from that hot ass sun..the body cream that helps your skin from being flaky and burned..and soon become cancer..yeah that cream..it's called SUNBLOCK!There are hundreds of different kinds of sunblock around, you just have to find the right one for you. Most doctors recommend the ones that has SPF<30, Broad Spectrum UVA and UVB blocking agents, and you should at least use daily with frequent reapplication. Now if you want a little shine on the skin to have that "natural" summer glow try the bronzer that has SPF<30 in it. Then you're set to go....you'll have that "natural" summer glow while protecting your skin :-)
..while worrying about our sexy skin lets not forget what we love to drink or eat.....just because it's summertime and the heat is horrible doesn't mean we can't continue our lives-it's not the end of the world people!
so for the people that enjoys to go out and have a drink or two..or maybe three or umm 4. You can always continue to do that. But for the pones that usually have gatherings at their house or parties I recommend you try a chilled sangria. You will LOVE it. Not regular cold but after you make it put it in the freezer for about 15-20mins and enjoy a glass. I like my drink here and there but in this heat there's no way I will do anything strong..the heat and strong alcohol=setting yourself up for disaster. Even if you're a drinker or not you will get drunk easily because of the heat.
...now what about the kids? to keep the kids cool while enjoying their favorite desert let them have some ice cream Hmm!
I'm not an ice cream type of person but this I would definitely enjoy :-)
so go out and indulged!
...some of you might want ice cream when you go outside or some like myself would preferably enjoy a Tazo Green Tea Frappuccino from Starbucks (don't even go there).
I like mine with one pump of each of the syrups and one scoop of green tea match powder without the whip. The next time you visit a Starbucks try it :-)
....OK now you got all the basics and the information that you need ..now time for you to start your Wednesday with the knowledge Val has given you. Believe me I will make the BEST out of this harsh summer with a nice glow lol.
