You guys are so great and encouraging!!!! Writing is therapeutic for me... I'm thinking about actually blogging my journey for real...

Awww thanks Melanie!!! I really appreciate that!! How are things going w/ you??

Thanks!! I am happy, for the most part... Just been having a very insteresting week... I'm grateful for all my blessings and this new life!!!

Awesome job!!! I'm a vocalist too!!!! You look like you're having fun!!! Oh, I have a new gig... I start training as a karaoke DJ this friday!!! LOL...

Awesome job!!! I'm very proud of you!!!

YEAH!!! I'm so happy!!!!

Awesome job!!!! Feels good doesn't it!?!!

So, I've always had a very active social.. mainly because I'm a vocalist and run in the music/arts circles.. Anyway, friday night I went to a new karaoke spot to hang out for a bit...So, I sang a song and proceeded to go hang out around the bar area w/ the DJ and his wife... This guy walks up and introduces himself and kind just lingers... I had this look on my face like.. ahhhh... can I help you??... He keeps talking, finally sits down and an hour later.... were talking about what I like to do besides read and shop.. I had to sing another song, so he follows me back to the stage area and just stands there.. .When I'm done singing, he kind of grabs me and showers me w/ all these compliments from my smile to my clothes to my voice.. I'm like.. okay...stalker!! LOL... My friends were like laughing.... I'm in shock that this stranger just grabbed me.. LOL... Previously, I would have found a reason to excuse myself because I would be totally over analyzing things... but, now I feel that life is short, so I may as well have fun!!! Oh, my favorite karaoke DJ (who I have a little crush on), can't seem to keep his hands off of me... I was singing and he walked up behind me, put his head on my shoulder and wouldn't let me go!! LOL... I was like.. Lord have mercy!! GEEZ!! Then on saturday, we had an event at church.. my ex was there.. He was turned around in his seat, staring at me... I didn't notice at first (well, I thought I was imagining things)... but my friend was like.... Stalker, 10 o'clock!! LOL.... afterwards, he walked up to me w/ his mouth open trying to think of something to say... LOL... I just spoke and walked away, as he stood gaping and wrapping his mind around the fact that he I'm over him!! So, how do I keep myself out of too much trouble??!!! I've gotten numbers, 'interesting' offers and some fine brothers asking to take me out.... LOL...

At Caradina, I hear you... don't necessarily agree fully though.. There's nothing wrong w/ a person have a preference for a certain physical characteristic.. That's not to say something is wrong w/ what they don't prefer... Rediscover, Sis, trust me.. it's all in fun.. just hanging out... LOL...

I'll be celebrating my birthday on 3/22.. I'll say a special prayer for you!!! Congrats again!!

I LOVE Cheetos!!! I'll skip a meal to have Cheetos!!! I have some in my car right now!!!
