Well Just got back from NY and all I can say that is was CRAZY HOT! The first three, no make that four days was sweltering! It was like a heatwave! I felt like I was melting! I think I sweated off like 10 pounds, it was so hot (in my dreams tho) Anyway I went to see my Godsis get married. Ah yes ANOTHER wedding. Yup she got married on 7/7/07. Seems like everyone got married on that day. I have pics and I will post some soon. The wedding was beautiful. She rented a ROLLS to drive away in and the reception was pretty cool too. Although I must say some of her "guests" must have thought this was club nite instead. I have never seen so much cleavage and hoohieness in my life! Me and mom were cracking up! I mean some of these chicks...what they were wearing.....put it this way....my godsis should have reserved more tables to accommadate all the boobs that were makin their appearance! And then the wedding planner (she was family) was evil!!! LOL I mean we walked into the reception hall and she made us all go BACK out to the foyer! There was no seat assignment but she wanted to make sure there were no freeloaders coming to the wedding (another one was goin on next door) so this thing did a head and name count. She was like the Gestapo! Other than that, it was cool. The DJ played pretty cool music ( except for that "Ima Flirt" song...of course EVERY LAST one of the hoochie crew sang that song...but I digress) And you know they played the electric slide...that's like a given at a wedding, especially at a black wedding! Ha ha! But all in all it was good.
The rest of my trip was great too. I got to see my uncle in Staten Island and I did alot of shopping. Me and mom stayed with my Aunt in Brooklyn and we visited my cuz and her new baby (whose name happens to BE Brooklyn) She is adorable. Sat was my mom's b-day so we took her to IHOP and it was ridiculously crowded there but we had a good time. Then we went to Downtown Brooklyn near my old neighborhood and shopped some more. Man I have never walked so much in my life. And I have decided to loose weight (yet again). And its all because of the walking. Let me explain without embarrassing myself too much.....
You see in NY, especially in Brooklyn or the city, you really don't need a car. You have the train, the bus or most commonly...your FEET. They drive like maniacs there (not much different than Cali but that's another subject) so you much rather walk. So that's what we did. My Aunt walks practically everywhere...to the hairstore, to Rite AId, to laundry...I mean EVERYWHERE. So I tagged along. I called her SpeedRacer because she walks so durn fast! Now my moms b-day was on Saturday and we went shopping..or course walking everywhere. Sidenote: New York is the greatest place to shop. Clothes. Shoes. Purses. EVERYTHING. Back to the story: I wore a skirt that day and some flip flops...really cute outfit..but Im getting off the subject... So we were out ALL day and by the time we got home it was like 4pm. My Aunt decided she wanted to get her hair retouched so off we went(just me and her, MOM was smart and stayed back) So we Walked to Flatbush Ave (bout 5blocks) to her hairdresser. While I waited I wanted to get some souviners ( thats spelled wrong, I know) I couldnt find exactly what I wanted to, so I walked 2 more blocks down to find what I wanted. To make a long story short, I walked up and down flatbush ave for like an hour. I did find what I was lookin for tho. Anyway by the time my Aunt was done with her hair and we got back (5 blocks back) It was like 10pm. Thats when I noticed my inner thighs were killing me, especially when I walked. Soooo I went into the bathroom...and saw....redness. Hmmm, we can all guess as to why there was redness...The word "Thunderthighs" instantaneously came to my mind. So now I have to go on Jenny Craig.
For the most part it was great. The plane ride back sucked because of a 2yr old who decided to test his lungs for the entire 5hr trip back. I almost wanted to get him some O2 because the kid screamed NON STOP. Thank God for my ipod!
AHHHH the joys of summer.......

A connection...
So what can I say about this weekend??? It was great!!! The sleepover with the girls was really good. We had about 7 of them over and we played games and had a little bible study and then watched a movie. (A Walk to Remember) It was a sappy chick flick of a movie that I can't stand watching but I sucked it up and watched it. It was good but I can't stand movies where you know the person is gonna die in the end...but I digress. Anyway the whole thing was good. The next day we went to the youth conference where they had this whole "Esther " theme for the girls. There were booths for them to go to to get their nails, hair and make-up done. The boys were outside having b-ball tournys and football tournys. They also had music and preaching in between all of this. The best part was the last service, the girls really got touched. I think they are beginning to really realize that HE is real. And I think I made a connection with some of the girls too. So it was really cool. I can't wait to see what God has in store for them (and me for that matter....)
