Thankful

Today the world celebrated Thanksgiving. This is when we normally contemplate what we are thankful for. Like everyone else I asked myself this question.

I am thankful for being alive to celebrate another Thanksgiving. My father and close friend Denita were not able to. I am thankful for my family. Even though we are not exactly normal or get along all the time, I am glad to have them in my life. I am thankful for my husband. The love and patience her has for / with me. I am very thankful for my sister, TC, she is my best friend and ALWAYS there when I need her. My husband and sister make my days easier and brighter. I am thankful for being able to see my daughter grow. She still amazes me with how much of a 'person' she is. As much as I have learned her personality I see it develop more and more each day.

I am thankful for being a better person than I was a few years ago, even last year. I am continually growing into a better person. I know I'm NOT perfect but I AM improving. I can honestly say I am not using anger and frustration as the first and primary emotions I feel. Which I use to and I really don't know why. I have become a better mother, daughter, sister and friend! I'm working on the better employee part LMAO! I know that I still have work to do but I am proud to see me not loosing myself while improving myself.

I am thankful for my friends. I a have unique relationship with each one and appreciate them for being in my life. This past weekend I went to Charlotte for my college friend Kaila's wedding. It was the first time in a year that "our freshman" crew had seen each other. It was a lot of fun. The reunion reminded me of how much we've grown. I am smiling now thinking of us back then at 18, our first days on NCCU's campus, so young and pure LOL! Ok wrong word but you know what I mean. To see us now, at different points of our lives. Married, lawyer, mother, master degree and we are all still growing. It's amazing.

I am thankful for my internet friends. Those I know from college or work but mostly speak to on Facebook and Myspace. Those I met on theKnot and have become friends with. Both of these types of friends have become important to me because they are there for me when I need them. It's a blessing to have a variety of friends.

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage...

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We ...

Single In the City blog #1

As I previously stated I am doing a Single In the City blog on BAB . I will copy them over here after they have been posted there a few days. I will title them SITC then number them, depending on how long the title I might include them in the title on here. If it's long I'll just put it in the post! So here is the first one! Enjoy! Single, Taken, Engaged, Married, Single Again I was married on October 7th, 2007 in an intimate ceremony at The Stanley House , a beautiful Southern home in metro Atlanta. Our wedding day was three months after we became engaged. I put a lot of work into planning our special day, but now that I look back I realize it was not that serious. Not because we are no longer together. Because of the stress and pressure I added on myself. I am sure you are wondering why we are not together. Well, neither of us is perfect. R, the ex-husband, felt that some of the agreements we made before getting married were no longer acceptable. He is in the military, a...
