Leaving for work to sign off on time sheets before I gave into allergy meds. Love the moon and stars...not necessary the mirrors, but my Ma gave them to me so I have to put them up.

2012. When I was younger I never considered years as I planned my path to adulthood.  A plan was always in place but there was never a definitive age or year for accomplishment.  (Might need to ponder on that.)  So I never contemplated what my life might be like in 2012.  Never. Not to say that I did not have goals to accomplish.  College degree. Check.  A paying job. Check.  Graduate school.

I wrote this a long time ago...don't know why I never posted... After a week of Black in America on CNN. A week were we learned or relearned what we already knew about our state here in America, without an answer or step-by-step plan on how to fix it we need to learn, search & step outside of the box. Our present generation (& I would go as far back as the children born in the early 80's)

Private Melody by AlTonya Washington My rating: 3 of 5 stars I always love Ms. Washington's books, however this one did not contain the usual story depth that she is known for. But this might be because I have been reading the Ramsey Series and it is a raging inferno of love, suspense and drama. Can't Look for that in Kiamni Romance. View all my reviews

Ain't No Sunshine by Leslie DuBois My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was a quick good read. I did not suspect the ending at all!! Set in Virginia during integration, it is told from the male's point of view after all of the events which allows you to relive the incidents. View all my reviews

I am huge fan of NCIS, the original.  I park my pale behind on the sofa whenever the USA channel graces us with a marathon.  Jethro Gibbs is one of the most well thought out characters on TV.  Bar none.  On of his attributes which I admire is his "Rules to Live By".  Now those of us who have followed the show for eternity know that his deceased with Shannon was the originator of the list keeping.

Life.  We all have one.  Live one. Wish to have one. Everyday, whether morning or night we wake wanting a life.  A life which contains love, laughter, friendship, family, adventures and memories. Often work brings us down.  Supervisor on our butts for not doing enough, being clueless, or just for having a bad day.  Family picks us apart because we are not married, our kids are bad or we do not

What Tiger did in his personal life is irrelevant to my life and my opinion of his golf game.  Public figures are always subjected to a magnifying glass that a mortal can never meet.  It does not matter to me.  It should only play or produce a change with his wife, mother, children and close friends.  End of story.  Many are making an issue with the commercial that has a voice over of his Father

My previous post speaks on unemployment.  And the ads that I have on my page suggest that you can go to sites and businesses that will file your unemployment.  To my knowledge this false!  To file unemployment you must either go to your local unemployment/labor department or go to the government website for your state which allows unemployment filing online.  There are numerous websites online

This is the drama I will deal with for weeks.  No one can understand how they (the Senate) will go on a two week break when they need unemployment insurance and hiring new employees is at a standstill.   Jobless benefits expire for thousands: "Extended unemployment benefits will temporarily expire for thousands of Americans on Monday because the Senate went on its spring recess without approving

Y'all I got a PROMOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, on March 16, 2010 I moved from Specialist to Advanced Specialist.  Not much in pay raise.  I am sure Uncle Sam will receive most of it.  Trust me.  But the hierarchy means I am more apt to have a supervisor or managerial position in the near future and that's the goal.  Plus having the years in to receive retirement from this place.  Less than a year

Trust.  Always has been hard for me.  It goes back to elementary school.  I was a Latchkey kid who depended on an older brother to have the key.  Who knew the older brother was the making of a juvenile delinquent.  I remember coming home from school and locking myself in the space between the screen door and the condo door and my mother finding me that way.  Asleep.  Or ripping the rubber lining

Last week I lost someone who I loved more than I knew.  She was with me when I moved out (or rather didn't move with the folks) and got my own place at 19.  She was with me when he left me again and again.  He gave her to me.  She was there when I had surgery.  When Grandma Minnie died.  When Buttercup died.  When Great-Grandma died.  She was there when that man came into my apartment.  She was

Often we can achieve an even better result when we stumble yet are willing to start over, when we don't give up after a mistake, when something doesn't come easily but we throw ourselves into trying, when we're not afraid to appear less than perfectly polished. ~ Sharon Salzberg

of when people meet me & spend time talking with me they say I am spoiled. And right of the bat I get defensive. Defensive I guess because they only look at the outside package. When in public I am a well put together person. Fly. Chic. It looks like I shop every week. (Actually I learned a long time ago how to take care of my clothes. Still have clothes from a decade ago that look good.)

I had lunch today with one of the kids I mentor. I have known the young man for over 7 years now. (Wow...) He has often looked to me for guidance, support, food, and a kick in the pants when needed.So it was funny when today we were sitting down to each & he says, "So Ms. L what's up? What's the plan? What's the 5 year plan?"And I had to look @ him because I have often said those same words to

I often read text messages & webpages where they use "text speak". I am not cool enough to dechipher half of what those abrrevations mean. So I went on a search for a dictionary...Look what I found!

I live in a gated community. I pay out the ass for it. Mainly b/c with my present job I can't afford it. But I will ALWAYS pay the money needed to live in a community that I feel is safe.

This past weekend I was blessed with my baby Sis~Princess Diana & her son Prince Cameron. I wanted to spend time with her before she started her sophomore year in college. WOW. Her sophomore year. I remember when she was an impending birth & could not stand the thought of her. As you can see I got over that. She is my angel. Not the person who I know she can be but she is making great strides.

1. What is your definition of romantic?Being romantic means listening and recognizing what makes your partner happy, fullfilled and feeling the love you possess. Doing the little things that puts that smile on their face that says "you make me feel so special & I loving you for you".2. Would you consider yourself to be romantic?I do. Ask any of the ex's.

I have been gone for a while. Not really writing about my life...my new job is kicking my shiny behind in so many ways. Not because it is especially challenging in the mental department, but I never sit down from walking and assisting clients. And trust me I love feeling useful, answering questions, and sensing that I am helping the hard road of unemployment (you know I truly understand)...but it
