Shake, rattle and ROLL........

So like about an hour ago I felt my first (and hopefully last) earthquake. At WORK no less! I was busy just minding my own business folding letters when all of sudden I felt the floor shaking and then the BUILDING shaking. My first thought was "what the hell is this" and then it dawned on me... Im in California. Earthquakes. Oh Crap! It only lasted about 1 minute...seemed longer but still. The building was ROLLING back and forth for what seemed like an Hour. I know you are supposed to stand in the doorway but all I did was just STAND. ...Still. " Real smart" huh! The news says it was 5.4 on the richter scale so it was not that bad. Everyone here at work have been through earthquakes before so they were all laughing at me. I don't care...the office i'm in is on the 5th floor so it was doubly freaky for me. I will take a hurricane, tornado, tsunami over this ANY day. At least you can RUN away or seek shelter..How in God's name are you gonna seek shelter when the SHELTER is moving away from YOU...answer me that...but i digress. Anyway everyone here is okay but this just put the "nail in the coffin" so to speak about my decision to move!

Vacation---steady as she goes....

Well the countdown has begun...I have three days left till i leave and I must say im pretty stoked. 2 whole weeks from this place. And I am going not to just have "fun" per se, I going with purpose. I gotta find a J. O. B.! It would sooo great if i could secure something while Im there but its in God's hands. So now Im just packing..(suitcase is half-packed as we speak) and trying to tie up some stuff before i leave. There is one thing that I am looking forward to...and that is me and S.K. are gonna meet up. I haven't seen this person in Like FOUR years so it will be nice. We are gonna meet up at the Resort I'm stayin and just chill the whole day. It will be good to be around some REAL friends for once. I am also trying to get at some of my other friends too but it may be a little hard being I only have a week there (in Fla) and then Im off to GA. But it's cool. I will still have a blast. My only dilemia now is finding a dang bathing suit. At the resort Im staying, they have a huge wave pool and I wanna try it. Now granted I can't swim a lick but the wave pool is like one big jacuzzi. I could handle that...I think. Neway, I still have to find the right bathing suit and I went to target yesterday to look. And i have one question..why in the heck do they NEVER have the right size bottom for the right size top! What do all the target managers think that everyone is a dern B-C cup! GRRRR! Cuz that's is all they had in the tops. I couldn't find my size NEWHERE!!! And some of those suits were mad cute. What do they only order bathing suits for woman who are less than a D? I found bottoms in my size (that, in itself was a miracle..but I digress) for the most part but when it came to try and matching the top...it was a NO GO at THIS station. Crap, Imma have to break down and go to Torrid ( a "blessed" woman's store). Oh well, the price i have to pay for er....beauty...

T-MINUS 9 DAYS AND COUNTING...

Nine days until I go on Vacation to FLA and GA....CAN NOT wait. I need a breather.....The monotony of this place is getting to me...

The Last of the Mohicans....

I am the Last one. There is no one left but me. I am by myself, no sense in fighting that fact anymore. Yes, yes...among my friends, peers and family...I will now be known as "the single one". I will also go by..."the fifth wheel" and "tag-along". I am doomed to hear "God has someone for you" and "He's out there and he's the perfect one for you" but I digess. My last single friend just found herself a man. I am happy for her, don't get me wrong. It just that it has dawned on me that I have been chosen for this challenge now. And trust me it's a challenge. But I'm up for the task. I am not upset about the fact that Im the last one either......God just has to work on him more (and me). And when it IS my time...watch out people, because there is a HUGE wedding with my name on it....

The smaller they are....

Im sick. Im at work sick. Why does this happen to me every single month? Some months are worse than others. These are the times I wish I didnt have ovaries...well scratch that, an Ovary. And it sucks cuz there are no bennies when it comes to this. How could something so little inflict so much annoyance? I can brave 100 foot drops on coasters, going upside down and fast speeds, but this one little thing inside me can turn my whole world inside out...literally. I HATE being nauseated. I think it's worse than throwing up. At least when you do, the feelin goes away. I should have told that Doc to take it ALL but for the sake of Hormones I kept this bugger ( i know that's old school but ask me if i care right now) At least I would have something to look forward to but all I get is nauseated and tired. On the bright side...at least this will help my...ahem.."diet". Im too nauseated to eat much of anything. Ugh... Excuse me if Im grumpy today.

Birthday RECAP

So now Im officially 35. I don't know what to think about that quite yet. I mean it's not old but i am "FIVE years from FORTY" as my friend so nicely put it. My birthday actually went pretty well, and it's keeping on. Sat I went to Six flags with my bro and it was pretty fun. Altho it was hotter than Satan's underwear that day we still had fun. I only got to ride like 3 rides because 1. it's summer and EVERYBODY AND their grandmother's there. 2. THE LINES WERE LIKE 5miles long 3. We were surrounded by hormonal, musty teenagers. I was looking at them and wondering if I acted half as stupid as that and the answer that comes to mind is a resounding YES. The hills were killer but i was pretty proud of myself that i wasn't huffing and puffing (thank you 24hr fitness) My calves however are not speaking to me at the moment but I don't care Im STILL going to Hip Hop class tomorrow. So yesterday on my actual birthday, I got off work early, pampered myself and then mom and my bro took me out to dinner. Today Im going to D&B with my gf and we will possibly go to Knots this weekend so it's pretty much turnin into a birthday WEEK. But hey, I don't mind. The people who counted in my life did wish me a happy birthday and that's all that matters. Well except for one person and he is currently still acting like he aint got any kind of sense that God gave him but Im still prayin for him. Oh I also got the Study Bible I've been wanting. All in all my 35th birthday went well and like I said is still going. And just think...this time NEXT year, I'll be celebrating in GEORGIA!

My DAD...

Just wanna let everyone know my Dad had a mini-stroke last week but he's okay. It was kinda scary at first because he lives so far away (S.C.) but I got to talk with his doctor and she told me she expects a full recovery. I talked to him yesterday on FAther's Day and told him How Blessed he was that God allowed him to see this Father's Day. Maybe he is finally beginning to get the picture (he's the most hard-headed man on this side of Earth) that God aint playing games with him. I pray for him daily and I know that he'll be okay. So thanks everyone for your prayers(for those of you who did know) I appreciate it.
