Vacation??!!??!!

I'm ready for a vacation.

I know I got a week unplanned vacay with all the glorious snow that the DC/Maryland/VA Region saw, well that and being sick with pnuemonia....but I worked a full week this week, well minus President's Day and I need a vacation. God I sound like a baby.....week off. 4 day work week AND I need a vacation. Boo hoo me.

I have several things in the works, however only two concrete plans.

I'm going to Eagles Training Camp. That's right the NFC East Eagles. I'm a HUGE ridiculous fan. I am obsessed with DeSean Jackson....that boy can RUN. I love me some Westbrook....though after this past year I think he might quite possibly be done. I like McNabb....when he is on point. I'm going to meet DeSean...and sit there and stammer like a freaking idiot but damn if I wont get his autograph and a freaking picture. That is my "boyfriend" whether I can talk or not I love that man.

I booked a flight to FL to visit my momma for Mother's Day. Oh sunshine how do I heart they, let me count the ways sand sparkles, and dolphins jump. Seriously. I could live on a beach. I am going to visit my mother and spend a few glorious days in the Florida weather. I'll get to see my mom, eat momma's home cooking....seriously NOTHING better, and just RELAX without work looming overhead. 5 days in Florida....just what the doctor ordered.

Now where is the Cruise?? What is the plan for the BIG 30....that sucker is just over 6 months way!!!!????!!!!????

Lent

Everyone seems to be in the same predicament.....what to give up for Lent.

Well I have decided to not give anything up for Lent.

I will, instead, do something to improve my life. I work on the 3rd floor of my building and I am guilty of taking the elevator everyday. I will be taking the stairs for the next 40 days. I do hope that it carries over to longer than that.

I believe it will help to start improving my health and losing weight, as well as knocking off another in my 101 in 1001 days.

Small steps, big rewards.

Letting go, Letting in

I have walls. LOTS of really TALL walls.

Slowly they are beginning to crumble.

To understand why I have walls, you have to know the back story.

I dated a boy, man, demon....I swear. He was sugar and spice and everything nice on the outside but pure hate and dark on the inside. I loved till my heart shattered and nothing in return. 7 years of my life wasted on that kind of shattering to your core kinda love. He was a man that tore me down every time I built myself up.

He was a man that my dad once famously quoted.... "they never found Hoffa, they'll never find him." Seriously. NEVER date a man your daddy hates. NEVER date a man who honks on your first date instead of coming in to meet the parents. NEVER date a man that puts down your best friend, your family, and most of all YOU.

It took me 7 years to leave this self destructive relationship. 4 more years of healing and NOW the walls crumble. There is a man. A strong man, a wonderful man, a man that I never thought I could let my guard down for....but damn if he isn't a patient man. He has waited for me to come to terms of my heart and to see that as he always says that I am...."worth the wait."

To this man...you know who you are. Thank you.

Thank you for letting me figure my own head, heart and soul out. Thank you for being in the background cheering for me. Being there when I am at my absolute worse...no makeup and greasy hair. Thank you for being my friend and someone I have learned to trust and rely on. Thank you for "rescuing" me on MANY occasions. Thank you for always being you.

(to my MOM...cause I know you read this...no questions...I might revert on my ever growing strength...just know I may eventually marry and give you those grand babies).

Valentine?

It's V'day 2010.

No flowers. No chocolate. No sexy lingerie. No jewelry.

Well dammit. I bought my own chocolate and lingerie.

Who wants to be my cupid and bring me flowers and that Tiffany necklace I've been eyeing????

Oh well.....maybe next year cupid will have better aim with that arrow.

Lungs

4 hours out of the house and the lungs are PISSED!

Coughing, wheezing, trying to breathe.

I hear you.

I will go from Bed to Couch to Bed tomorrow. I swear!!!!!
