LOVE

Your Five Variable Love Profile

Propensity for Monogamy: Your propensity for monogamy is medium. In general, you prefer to have only one love interest. But it’s hard for you to stay devoted for too long! There’s too much eye candy to keep you from wandering. Experience Level: Your experience level is low. You’ve probably either had only one relationship.. Or all of your relationships have been very similar. You still have a lot to learn… and a lot to try! Dominance: Your dominance is high. It’s your way or the highway when it comes to love. You like to be very involved in your sweetie’s life. No question, you like to be the one calling the shots. Cynicism: Your cynicism is medium. You’d like to believe in true and everlasting love… But you’ve definitely been burned enough to know better. You’re still an optimist, but you also are a realist. Independence: Your independence is high. You don’t need to be in love, and sometimes you don’t even want love. Having your own life is very important for you… Even more important than having a relationship.

Resolutions–Life Style Changes :)

A good friend and I decided to make a pack together for 2007, saying that it will be the year we do everything we want.  Everyone has things that hold them back from doing what they want to do.  In 2007 there will be no excuses, I will just go for the goal.

What do I want out of 2007?

• Development of a nice finanical portfolio
• Tackle Debt
• Lose weight (for real yall)
• Find my passion (eventhough I realize it is ever changing)
• Get into Graduate School
• Spend time with people I care about (my godson, grandparents, my sister, my brother, my mom, my auntie, etc

 That does not seem like the impossible at all.

Things that I look foward to in 2007:

• The fifth Harry Potter Movie
• The 7th Harry Potter Book
• Buying clothes at regular clothing store
• Becoming more mature and graceful (The two do not go hand and hand, believe me)
• Becoming more self-confident
• Living

Practical Gift Giver

You Are a Practical Gift Giver

Your gifts are useful, appropriate, and custom tailored to each person. In your opinion, the best gifts are gifts that someone will actually use. Your gifts may not be the most glamourous, but they are always appreciated.

What Kind of Gift Giver Are You?

Break OUT

I am back at work after a bad 48 hours, which included a trip to the emergency room.  My face swelled up, including both my bottom and top lip.  And I broke out in hides and spots.  It was crazy.  I got a mess of shots.  Steriods.  Lung opener.  The works.  I was high as a kite.

You are what you ate!!!!

Today I had an oral allergic reaction to something that I ate.  My lip swelled up really big.  I have to admit I was scared, because nothing like this has ever happened to me.  More later, partially because my lip is still swollen.

On the Road Again

Going to North Carolina today.  I am not at all excited.  I have a whole lot of work to do, but this is also work so I have to go.  I think I’ll be fine.  And I forgot the Christmas party was tommorrow so I have to get my hair done.  I look like a hot mess.  And I am not under any circumstances driving that van, even though I think it might be fun to try. 

Catch Up

Friday:

• Got lost in a co-worker/friend’s car following her to her apartment in a rental car.
• Hit the road to
  Houston, Texas
• Everyone looked at me like I was crazy went looking for a book light in Walmart
• Had a run in with a redneck, but he turned out to be full of sexual jokes and playful banter.  Decided not to stop in
  Mississippi again.

Saturday

• Actually reached
  Houston.
• Ate at Denny’s were nobody understood English
• Slept a lot
• Helped coworker/friend move her bed, mattress, and chase lounge onto the truck.
• Ate at PF Changs, with coworker/friends bff. BFF has a part-time gig at PF Changs and told us hilarious stories about the people who worked there.  On about this pregnant Hispanic girl who lets her boyfriend, “finish inside of her” because she wants “all of him”.  And Hispanic girl also talks about how guys with big @ss are hot.
• Again slept a lot.

 Sunday

• Got up super early
• Could not leave because the ropes we tied down to the truck did not hold
• Went back to bff’s apartment, where I slept
• Did not get back on the road until almost 1pm

Monday

• Got in at 5am
• Went to work at 9am
• Got sick at work, could not make it home.  Had to stay over a friends house.

Tuesday

• Rested but still felt sick

Today I am at work.  I feel a little better, but some of me is still sick.  I will survive.  I have a lot of work to do.

Cancelled

Getting fired from a job is never cool for the person getting fired.  Someone recently got let go of at my job.  And I feel for this person, it has been haunting me all day.  This person had so much potential, but the light from his self blinded him to the rest of the world.  Everyone tried to tell him to chill, but alas he was boiling over. It just bothers me, what’s going to happen to this person?

Wimpy Wanda

I took a quiz last night called “What’s Your Role?” Bad things happen, and often our first response is to slip into the role we’ve played since childhood.  What’s your tactic?  Mine was Wimpy Wanda “I’m sorry the world is round.”  Yes, I know.  I think it’s true.  Too many times I become a wimp in things, even though I am getting stronger.  I do try overly hard to accommodate others, sometimes at the expense of my happiness.  My self-esteem is low, even though it’s rising by the day.  What am I going to do with this wimpy alter ego? I chuckle; it’s not as bad as the magazine article makes it sound.  They claim if you recognize your good points and decide your own standards you are fine.

 

Tips:

(ala magazine)

 

Make a habit of doing one thing a day just for you.  (Check.  I love to read and oil paint.  Right now I am looking to invest in a spa day.  I am also looking to get quarterly pedicures, because I want my toes to look right year round.)

 

Be your own behavior barometer. (How does a good person behave:  fairly, non-judgmental, and someone who stands up for himself/herself.  I think I can do this.)

 

Buy something daring (I don’t have a lot of pieces in my wardrobe that have color.  I am now starting to buy color pieces)

 

Spend some time with people who support you. (John, Terrell, my mom, Folake, Yumi, Aunt Paula.  Got a great support team.)

 

 

Right now I cannot wait to try the eggnog frappaccinos at Starbucks.  I am supposed to be on this mega lifestyle change with John.  So far I have broken all the rules.  Food and nice beverages does make me happy, but I know the indulgence can only last so long.  I am hiding what’s deep down inside of me with this urgent binge feast I have been having the past two months.  Yes, I have been binging.  But for whatever reason I have decided that a piece of double chocolate cake will not solve my issues at work, with my friends, nor help me get into graduate school.  It will just make me fatter.   No more food indulgence for me.  Accept for the eggnog frappaccino.  Just talked to John he said no to the eggnog.  I already had noodles in my veggie mac and cheese.  I have to go to the grocer today.  Any way I am going to Phillips where there is a Starbucks and I will be getting my eggnog frap.
