Revive!

I really miss writing! Between graduate school, family, work, and everything else... I have not gotten to write like I use to. Well I write plenty for graduate school, just not on casual topics. Especially my favorite... Relationships.

I haven't use this blog in years and actually started a new one 2 months ago. It only has one post though! I am trying to decide if I want to revive this blog or stay with the new one....

One of the struggles I am having is that I not the person I was when I began writing this blog in 2007. Nor am I the person when I stopped writing it. I stopped using this blog for two reasons: freelance projects and I wanted a break from sharing my love life online. A part of that was linked to the things I went through on this blog. Even though I decided to not share every thing though words, it is here. I went from a engaged to a newlywed to separated to single to in a relationship. Who I am now is built on what I went through during that time. The lessons I learned, the strength I realized I had, and the pain of it all.

I understand that the previous post are a part of me, but I am not sure how I feel about them being a click away from who I am now. The woman I am now is so happy that I was removed from those situations, feelings, and people.

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...

Tornado in ATL

Friday night a tornado hit downtown Atlanta. I still can not believe it. It is amazing to see the damage it caused. I was born and raised in this city! This is the stuff I watch on the news not a few blocks from my house! I was moments from being caught in it. Thank God I was running behind for once in my life. I am normally very on time but wasn’t Friday night. I was and left a few minutes behind. There is major damage less than a mile from my house. I love living downtown, but the other day I wasn’t so in love with the idea! Thankfully no one I know was injured or had major damage to their homes. One of my favorite bars, the Harlem Bar is closed. It is on Edgewood. The tornado did some serious damage to that area. I am thankful that few were injured and no one was killed. It’s amazing that now one was since it hit in a very populated area. Thank God it was 9:30pm and not rush hour!

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 ...
