I feel like Monday was yesterday and my spring break is in a month :O I'm not complaining tho.

little jilly's?!?!

sooooo those who know me, or even follow my blog know that i may just be one of the biggest  fans of Jill Scott. Period. I love her in every way!!! Anyways, the news dropped today that Jilly is preggers by her new fiancee'! They didn't waste any time did they? Anyways... She is actually very far along...she is due in late April! I'm having mixed emotions because I'm worried Jill won't have any music out anytime soon :( I guess I'm a selfish fan. But congrats!!

did you have your black eyed peas today?

happy new year hunnies.

penny candy

I can't complain about much. Christmas was delightful, and I'm still having fun. One of my best friends is in town from Florida, it's so crazy how fast time flies....she moved to Florida when we were in 9th grade and now we are in our second years of college :O. Enjoy it. And live it abundantly...I don't know who hasn't seen Seven Pounds by now, i saw it twice in like two days.

It's 72 degrees today in Raleigh. I love North Carolina.

Last night, I went out with my bestfriends. I love them. The party was ...okay, I didn't feel well and the aroma of fresh sweat, herbal remedies and alcohol didn't settle well with my condition. I spent most of the time outside in my car/looking for a safe bathroom (to tinkle)/ writing never-to-be sent letters to lost loves on my BB/listening to my bff fuss out her boyfriend/and whatever.

Two of my friends stayed at my place and we finished the night up with 3 AM post-drunken girl talk...the joys of college, our fabulous Sisterhood, finally checking out of the heartbreak hotel and many days to come. I have two more weeks home, and I'm gonna enjoy it.

after i take a nap.

merry christmas.

Can you believe it's about to be Christmas? I can't. I've somehow attempted to do a few rounds of Christmas shopping...my choice is going to the malls late before the doors close! Although the malls have had some great sales, I had to get a few treats for myself including a fabulous New Year's dress :) Thanks Recession!!!!

My sister is finnnnnnnnnnnnalllly home. We've celebrated a little, but her little body needs to rest so we should be picking up soon. Including Kanki tonight :) yum.

Since I've been home...i have:

• yet to unpack my two suitcases

-i've taken over the guest bedroom, it really looks like a hurrican come through

• openned lots of christmas cards with pics of little white children i dont know

-although i got the sweetest Christmas card from a friend from high school!! i almost cried

• driven alot.

-Hondie hit mile 200,000 on my way from Charlotte!!

• unfortunately been given alot of TRASH from alot of people

-what's up with that?! i know

• frooze my butt off!

-It dropped from 60 degrees to about...20

• saw Seven Pounds!!

-dont tell my sis or mom, I was supposed to go with them! It was good tho, you should go see it too!

okay. ciao. and happy holidays.

you ready, B?!?

hey kiddies!!!

sorry i've been MIA, school is hectic  and busy at times, but i'm making it!

i'm going to kansas city Wednesday for a Convention! I'm excited.  I was kinda upset because they do Halloween big here at colleges here in NC (not mine bc my school is WACK! get that later), I was planning on visiting my friends or seeing Lil'Wayne in concert at home but...he cancelled the concert (surprise.) so I guess I didn't have to decide.

 my plan for Kansas City is to: 

1. sleep in every day

2. go to my minimum of 3 workshops a day

3. live it up

although i'm living the broke college life as of late because my checks from my job this summer have stopped coming. I don't know whats really in Kansas City, i wiki'd KC but I didnt find much lol i was told they had good barbeque?

Yea..my school is so wack! Joe Biden was on campus last week for a public rally and the school didn't think it was important to tell the students. What's up with that? And the Beastie Boys, Cheryl Crow and Santogold were doing a rally on campus today. I really wanted to see Santogold, but I had class...I later found out she didn't show up so I wasn't too upset.

I don't know about you but I feel like Thanksgiving is sooooo far away. I miss my friends and my families soo much it makes no sense. I've been trying to talk to my Mom like everyday lol but I dont think she is getting the point

I can't believe my sister has been in Italy for almost 2 months! I talked to her last night! I miss her muchos grandes.

It's really cold here in Charlotte! I need someone to cuddle huggle with (sigh)

i have a test tomorrow boooo but after that I'll probably be preparing to head outfor my trip this week! hollaaaaa

i'm gonna try my bestest to blog from KC! If not..check my twitter on the left up top!

i won't say goodbye anymore

I completed my absentee ballot tonight. So ready to send it tomorrow. So ready for November 4th and this election drama to be over!! I'm ready to celebrate Barack's victory :) I've never got shivers circling a bubble sheet before, he's gonna win it.....no doubt.

Anyways, my fall break was....cool lol. Didn't do tooo much! Saw alllll of Raleigh, saw some of my bests!!, hung out with some of my family, which was nice. I saw this guy that I met in Charlotte and further found out he was a COMPLETE asshole. He wanted to argue if N.E.R.D was pronounced by its acronym or actually "nerd." Ugghhh. wack. I did feel bad one night I came home and saw someone in my neighborhood leaving for work :O. Surprisingly, my parents didn't ask what time I got home the next day lol

I practically took a *week* off from school so I'm paying for those days off with alot of meetings, a 20 page paper due in 6 weeks and other stuff that must be done. It's aight tho...we're half way thru the semester!!!!

I got sneak peek tickets to "The Secret Life of Bee's" tomorrow night! I'll let you know how it goes!!!

sick!!!

this chick stays 3849089302 steps ahead of the game! check out her heel-less boots.

sick.

she goes by "posh" for a reason....

tell Frank i said hi

Frank, the author and creator of Post Secret is going to be at East Carolina University tonight! I want to go sooo bad, but ECU is 4 hours away from me here at school! He was only an hour away at Wake Forest University last week but I was super busy. Post Secret is an anonymous community where people send in their most craziest/sadest/funniest/raunchiest secrets on regular index cards. Frank posts every Sunday. I always wake up Sunday morning and check www.postsecret.com first! You may have seen me post some of the post cards on my blog before...if you are in the area, please go for me!

I picked out of a few of my favorites! These people definitely have their own stories behind them..but I thought they stood out to me. I keep saying I'm going to send my own postcard in..

i check my mail everday in hopes of getting mail too. i did get a fabulous refund check today tho :)

ugh. so true.

you know it.

you know where i am.


;)



Brad Pitt is delish...but you can keep the HPV. But damn, look at that body :-O

hotel rooms always freak me out.

i can relate! food is so freaking expensive. ...i don't cry tho, i gotta eat.






we gotta do something...yes, we can. obama. oh eight.


it's 69 degrees and rainy here in charlotte but...always got remember:

see u next time.

no place like home

I went home back to the block this weekend! The block, the crib, the brib, my house, my home, Raleigh...yea whatever you wanna call it.

Relaxing..yes. Eventful, not so much. Well..I dont know. Me and my mom went and saw The Family that Preys. Tyler Perry writes great stories...but his endings are always wack. It's like he just gives up. Anyways... I had to head home to get my car expected at a certain carshop in Raleigh which I really felt like was a waste of time and gas before, but I was so ready to head down I-85 North when Thursday afternoon rolled around. I love not having class on Fridays! My weekends start at 12:15 on Thursdays...holla. As far as my inspection, I did pass but the guy (who is my neighbor) forgot to give me my registration card back! So I was driving extra careful on the way back to school today just in case I got pulled because...of course I wouldn't have my registration. I really need to get that tho...

My drive back seemed extra long and (literally) painful today. It's still scorching heat like 85 degrees here in NC and my car is about 10+ years with pretty much inefficient air conditioning. I stopped to see my bestest half way because that seems to make the almost 3 hour drive a little more worth while. I was in a grump, as usual when I leave home, so seeing her made me feel better.

I think what also made my drive back painful today was the ridiculoussssssssssssssness of gas over the weekend. Since when has unleaded fuel EVER been more than diesel?? I saw gas this weekend for a whopping $4.79. People are really tripping...I managed to get a full tank at $3.68 Friday and passed by the same station today and it was still at that price. Whatever. But I am praying for the people in Texas and LA (you too, Beyonce) with the recent bad weather destroying everything!!!

I feel another busy week is heading my way..that's why I came back today instead of Sunday afternoon/night. gotta have a day to get myself together. I told myself I was gonna come back and do work but I'm about to head out for the night lol

I diligently looked for a camera at my house today so I can start snapping pics for my blog but my search was to no avail...sorry Nik, and everyone else?! Stay tuned for some snapshots in the future. miss u nikisssssssssssssh

Yea, I got back this evening and my roommate brought her cat from her house because she was scared of being in the apartment by herself. Can someone PLEASE tell me what a kitty kat can do when someone breaks into your house? thanks.

p.s.- i brought Romeo back with me :D yumyyummmmmm (see previous post lol)

btw...as much as i complain about you being in my dreams, i wish they all come true.

guess who's bizzack

I started school last week and it's been crazy busy here around these parts! Between moving into my apartment, planning and executing lots for my university's Black Student Union and telling my sister bye :(, i've been quite busy. I have to admit, I have been working hard and think its gonna be great year!!!

My Labor Day weekend was very pleasant spent some much time needed with many of my girlfriends, my family and some other special kiddies :) well one but whatever.

For those just tuning in...my sister left for Italy on Tuesday of this week! She's gonna be gone for farr too long so I promised her many pics throughout the next few months. Here are a *few* of me and some of my favorite people back here in Charlotte....

i don't know why i was hiding in the closet?!?!?

tasi and me!!!

Val, my co-editor and me!! I guess we are flexing our under pressure muscles?! Because we were definietly up to a quickly approaching deadline. Our first issue of our BSU Black Perspective Magazine was a hit! Hopefully we'll have a online version soon....

Tasmin and me again! it was her bday hence the tiara...happybirthdaybabe

okay, i think i'm done here.

dear summer

to you forever...from me to you:

Thanks Mr. West, for kicking off the summer with the one of the best concert's ever...and supplying my motto for summer '08: "grab a drink, holla at some (boys) and party b*tch!!!" which became amazingly true! lol

to my sis...(who is obviously too cool for this earth by looking at this pic) for giving me a place to crash! and many fun times and hillarious stories..please don't leave.


my job in the financial aid office at wtcc...made my heart weak when i became numb to sob stories and people who couldn't afford education, or my heart hurt when 21 year old single mothers were being shipped to iraq with a weekend's notice. nevertheless, it kept my mind strong.

although our seperation this summer was painful..the occasional random midweek sleepovers made me forget it all. This summer made me a few of those moments where I realized we were beyond best friends esp when I realized how hurt I was when you got your tattoo without me and when I couldn't sleep until you got back that morning in VA beach! It's gonna be a great year for us both...no worries.

didn't see you much this summer but we'll make it back here someday...maybe we can use the field to take off on my spaceship?

from running sprints on the moving sidewalks in the airport to you just making it with your broken ankle...stop worrying. You're gonna take Duke by a (red)storm. Just as long as you bring your t-shirt...

how come we were mutual friends of our 580489 friends for so long?? Don't know if I would have made it this summer without ya...that's a fact. I love you more than Ms.Annette, Goldilocks and Ms. Bev love cigs! Tell ECU to be ready when I come down and give them the business...

My only friend from school who came to visit me this summer! You were the specialest guest we ever had at $4 Tuesdays...can't wait to see you again

my girls...

we didn't get one shot together this summer since the camera died! but....

thanks for the long nights...sometimes too long lol

uber sexiness

true friendships/girltalks/dr*nk talks/heartachetalks/celeberations/tazewell suites to traveling pants times!

and overall, dear summer, thanks for reminding me

good people...

good food..

and good drinks...never goes outta style.

(special thanks to HondieBoo for getting me thru 2,000+ miles this summer!)

"im done for now

so one for now

possibly forever, we had fun together

but like all good things, we must come to an end

please show the same love to my friends

dear summer"
