Okay so a lot has happened… mostly little stuff… but right now, its about 3:30 am… and i’ve been up all day on 3 hours of sleep. THREE! I got up and went to class, and drove home to my parents (which took 4 hours) for the Thanksgiving holiday… proceeded to run errands for them… then.. i did my hair… y’all.. when i tell you this was a freakin, 5 hour ordeal.. omg…
I tried an ACV rinse for the first time… acv is short for Apple Cider Vinegar… okay. um.. so it has all these great wonderful qualities.. its great for hair, and skin.. (so y’all give it a try if you’re brave enough!) I’m going to try it on my skin next… but anyways… i put it in a spray bottle with water, and wet my hair with it. I bet you wanna know how that went huh?
AWFUL! Okay… the result are great because it works as a clarifier… BUT the SMELL was enough to make me wanna vommit. I mean… it smelled like really bad foot odor… i mean.. wooooooooooow. You’re supposed to leave it on for awhile, but i just couldn’t get over the possibility of my hair smelling like FEET! You guys KNOW how big of a scent person I am!!! So I immediately washed it out, then went on to shampoo and condition my hair. THEN, i did a hot oil treatment which involved jojoba oil, and my bonnet dryer. I walked around forever after that with a towel on my head. Its amazing how my parents just ignore all the craziness I bring to their household, lol. My dad wouldn’t smell my hair! (*sidenote: you don’t know this about me.. but freshly washed hair is so heavenly to me… that i just wanna make everybody come smell it… so i stick my locks in everybody’s face 
). My dad thought it was going to smell like the acv.. but to his surprise… It smelled like peppermint and lavendar!!! YAY!!! 
So i twisted it… and chilled… helped my mom bake her famous carrot cake.. and that was all she wrote! It was a successful evening so na nana boo boo! 
Thats for everybody who doubted my multitasking skills! Ha!
But anyways… I miss y’all. I know i need to get back to regular blogging. I really need to get back to my poetry, and more serious stuff… I have a lot to say.. things have been good over all though. The family is good, school is stressful, but going well.. and i’m still working my booty off in the gym. The last few months have taught me a lot… A good friend (i see you Teeeeeee Jaaaaaaaay) once told me that you have to know when to withdraw your spirit from people… and that not everyone deserves you… She couldn’t have been more right. I had a wonderful convo with someone very special who completely lifted my spirits.
Its amazing how often, even though you know yourself… you can still be surprised at the way you react to certain events in your life… I met someone… and the person is absolutely wonderful. I don’t want to go into too much detail, because there is no need. This individual has taken me by surprise… and i’m just happy to have them in my life. Its fun… and its new… and it makes me blush! Imagine that.. a black girl blushing… but i do… and i glow at the thought of them… the person is just a friend… and that’s fine. But I’m loving the new friendship… I get emails in the mornings… calls on lunch hours… and laughs in the evenings… and I AM LOVING IT! I tried to figure it out… tried to wonder about what it all meant… what category to file it under… and ive bugged a few friends about it as well…. but today i realized something. There’s no need. Why does it need a category at all? While I’m trying to figure out my next move, I realized that none was needed. A few things came to mind: 1st: How do you make God laugh? Tell him your plans. 2nd: If you find yourself in a place and you don’t know what to do… do nothing.
I’m content… no i’m more than content.. I’m thrilled.. and how ironic is it that one situation is resolved… and another begins…. right on time. Hmm.. I have another one of those horoscopes to share with you.. but before I do, I want to say this. I have talked to a few friends over the last couple of days, and a lot of people are feeling like they’re in limbo. Many of my friends are all wondering the same sorts of things that i’ve been wondering… all those questions about the future, about the present.. and heck, even about the past and what it all means. We all want to know what to do in this moment in order to advance to the next. Well I’ve figured it out. You do nothing. Don’t misinterpret what I’m saying. Continue to push forward. Work hard… all those dreams you have, all that time you’ve invested in whatever it is that you do… continue to do that. You give your all.. but in those moments when nothing makes sense..and you find yourself about to pull out every strand of hair you have because you can’t see thru that fog you’re in… pray on it… be specific… and then take your hands off. Because what i am 100% sure of at this moment, is that everything is working together for YOUR good. It WILL happen. Things don’t always happen the way we think they should.. and sometimes it feels hopeless… but I have to remind myself (and trust, you will have to remind ME of this as well) that while this situation is falling apart… another one is being put together… its like the domino effect. That one right there, has to fall in order to put this one here in its place. I feel blessed…. I’m happy…. and my new friend.. just sent me more music.. because they thought of me when they heard it and wanted to know if I liked it… I’m just loving it, y’all. all of it… When someone loses you.. its not a loss you have to deal with. It is THEIR loss. Remember that… its always theirs…
Okay, so i’ve been rambling enough. Lemme share my horoscope for today: You’ve been noticing magnetic energy from two very different people. Choose one.
I think its time to choose. I’m choosing to let go of whats already gone… and to open myself up to the new possibilities. Its funny how I never really saw them before..and now.. here they are. The world is our oyster… lets go get it!!!!
I will be blogging the next few days, hopefully.. but just in case I get caught up in the holiday hoop-la… I wanna wish you all a very special Thanksgiving. I am truly thankful for each and every one of you. You all bring something special to my life. God is good… *sigh* *kisses for all of you!*
) But tomorrow morning.. its you and me.. i’m gonna link you to one of my favorites.. and i want you to hit me up and let me know what you think.. either here or however else you choose to reach me. Really let me know… and if you have favorites, link me to ‘em.. I’m already an addict.. might as well do it big! LOL.
) Which ended up being perfect because drinks with the girls left me out til past 11pm!!! Craziness.. It was nice, though, I must tell you that i have absolutely no tolerance… One martini had your girl feeling reeeeeally lightheaded, lol. I saw alllllll kinda costumes… some were cute.. others… made no sense. Lesson learned: do NOT attempt to make up your own costume. Just go buy a nice one that people can figure out… ‘cause after a bit of alcohol… figuring out what people were supposed to be was TOO FUNNAE!
