What A Difference....

Last week I upgraded my phone, to the BB Curve, and as I was transferring information I discovered this gave me the opportunity to delete some numbers that I rarely or NEVER use. As I scroll through my phone with the confused look on my face of, "who is... and what the...", I realized truly what a difference a day makes. At the beginning of the year I was out partying every Friday and Saturday night and now I opt for quiet nights to myself with a glass of wine. I had an array of guy's numbers. Now I have a zero tolerance policy which is why my phone doesn't ring as often. It's funny that it's okay to sit up in my house with no plans but when I suggest a movie and dinner I get, "I'll get back with you". Ummm hmmm. I've focused on me and now I'm 10 pounds lighter. Only bad thing going right now is my job which sucks major _____(you be the judge). Selling supplements REALLY shouldn't be this stressful. I'm thankful for the people that are in my life both directly and indirectly, 2 miles or 1,000 miles away. I'm happy when they're happy. I'm blessed for every person that I have met during my "change" because I feel they are placed here for my new destiny. The people that continue to stick around I know are there for the continued long haul. Day by day life has gotten better and better and I'm happy as it occurs♥

Go, Go, Gadget

Technology never ceases to amaze me. I am a gadget girl so a few days ago I decided to pick up a Nike+iPod that I had been eye-balling to add to my workout. Luckily my homeboy works where I was able to get a hookup so it eased my mind debating over the $30 contraption. Especially wondering if it was really worth it. I've finally gotten back into my workout after a hectic week and I was impressed.

You can set your workouts by time, distance, or calories. The lady talks throughout the workout to update progress. You can even set a "Power Song" and Lord knows I need that some mornings. Once the workout is complete it gives you the ability to sync it on iTunes and the info is sent to Nike.com just in case you want to set a goal or keep track of progress. All this technology is only compatible with an iPod Nano and Nike+ shoes but I got the hook up on those too ;D

Dad

This is the picture of a man who was on cloud 109. I went home this weekend for my great uncle's funeral as well as my aunt's retirement party. Over the past few years my dad and I haven't been the best of friends but this weekend was different. I go home as often as I can but when I'm there I usually stay with aunts or my cousin. This time around B and I stayed with my dad, partly because my sister-in-law was there and she understands the riff between me and my dad. My dad literally glowed the entire weekend while having us there. We had a great time at the party and the next day left me wondering. Wondering if after everyone was gone would the awkwardness resume. To much surprise, it was a great day. A blessed day. A day that marked the beginning. Life is extremely too short and I think after so may failed attempts of trying to make our relationship work, this time around is not a fluke. We watched football, talked about some family business where my brother was at one time the go between, and I fixed his screen saver because in spite of, I've always been my dad's personal Geek Squad. He even lured Brandon outside away from Cartoon Network.

As the day wound down I was getting ready to head home. It was hard to say goodbye because I knew it was even harder for my dad to see us leave. So as Brandon and I sit in the car saying our goodbye's, my dad tells me to call and let him know I made it home safely(something he has NEVER suggested). As I take the 50 mile drive back home I reflect on the weekend. Truly what a difference a day makes. I feel we came to a resolution without hanging the past over or heads or even saying sorry. Yes the funeral was a somber moment but I had a wonderful weekend amongst so much love and it all really topped off the happiness I have been experiencing the past few months. Once I got home and settled I called my dad to let him know we'd made it. It wasn't a long conversation but he told me to keep in touch. I will daddy, I will.

Summer Finale

Today was an interesting week 3 of football but I enjoyed it. I've even been thinking about trying my hand at a little fantasy football before it's too late in the season. The Cowboys and Packers are playing now and I would personally rather stand in a corner and watch paint dry as I don't care for either team. Here's my thoughts on today's games:

Chiefs v Falcons
I'm still stunned by the dirty birds. 38-14. Really?
That Roddy White catch for a 70-yard run was awesome!
Might have to make the 2hr drive to the Dome and catch a game....

Miami v New England
Ronnie Brown, Ronnie Brown, Ronnie Brown
Let's remember where he came from
War Eagle!!!!!!

Tampa Bay v Chicago
My team pulled through with an OT win!
That's why they're NFC South champs ;D
Saints v Broncos
Love the Saints and Drew Breezy!!!
Gramatica how do you miss 2 field goals?!
Really not happy Denver is 3-0

Washington v Arizona
Arizona got their first "L" compliments of the Skins!
And another Auburn Tiger led his team to victory

I enjoyed my day of flipping back and forth through channels but I'm a little sad to know that when I wake up tomorrow morning in will be Fall. Summer's over *sigh*

Chillaxin

Today I contributed nothing to society which for me was great. I had an off day and a quiet household so I took all the advantage.

• I challenged myself on the treadmill this morning and pushed myself through a new discipline. Yay me!
• I watched a little television and read the newest issue of "Women's Health".
• Downloaded Raphael Saadiq's latest CD

See, pointless, uneventful happenings. My phone hasn't rung all day....wonderful! I also tried my best to pimp my brother into taking me to the Redskins/Giants game during my trip to DMV for Thanksgiving. His response:

Football game n the winter n DC....heck no.

Wizards game in November...heck ya

He's such a punk. Football isn't football if it's not in the cold! And for that being my first live NFL experience, what better game than the Skins v. Giants?! I already know that his text was a guaranteed no so I shoot my favorite cousin a text and he gave me all the cons, mainly cold weather, but said he'd take me. SCORE! For the fun of it I checked the Wizards schedule and what do we have here....? Wizards vs. Hawks, November 29th. I'm pushing for courtside ;D Latta!

"I Gotta Get Fly For School"

I'm winding down for the night and I here this from the bathroom door:

"I gotta get fly for school!"

Why at 8 years old do you have to get "fly" for school?! Especially when you wear a uniform! I'm not ready for this"lil girl" era and I already know that's what it's the beginning of. Last week I was told, "this girl in class keeps staring at me". I tackled that one well while gripping the steering wheel. Then earlier in the week I was randomly told about two new girls in the class. At any rate I documented what it takes to get fly in Brandon Mooney's world. Gotta make em' "sea sick" with the waves I guess...

LAWD!

From Afar

Have you ever admired someone from afar and wanted to tell them? I have guy friends who's opinions I've sought on the matter and 1/2 say don't say anything and the other 1/2 say they like aggressive women which leaves me confused. But women are the complicated ones...hmph. So what is it fellas?!
I am the type of girl that lives life for the moment so if I say it, it's done with no regrets. My theory is the other person would never know unless you speak your mind and say so. You never know what that person may be feeling or thinking and not express. I think we've all debated, "what if he/she has someone?", "what if they're not feeling me like that?", "what if they don't want the same thing I want?". What if, what if, what if.... Now there was a time when I was overly aggressive and I had to step back and realize you can never force yourself on a person. At one time I had a couple of really great guys come my way and didn't react and missed out. I guess my aggressiveness surfaced from missing out on those opportunities but I had to tone that down. But as I got older I lived and learned and came to realize that what's meant to be will be.
On the other end of the totem pole, I have a friend who is so against a woman approaching a guy. He says the guy should be the hunter and that when a woman approaches a guy she comes across as easy. Needless to say we've had countless debates on the subject matter. But it is said that men like a chase right? I'm just trying to put love and life into perspective. I wonder will I ever not be so selfish and stop basking in my own self happiness in order to experience the ins and outs of love? If I find that David Oliver-esque guy,or D.O. himself(lol), then sure. Because we all know I think highly of a brother. ;D
