God Is Good!

All the time.

Offical Last Day!

Today - Tonight is my offical last night at the King and Prince Beach Resort... I really appreciate everyone for there help and patience while I was working here. I really enjoyed everyone. I had so many laughs and funny stories. I will forever remember everyone and there kindness. Bye for now King and Prince! Should you every need a vacation you should check out the King and Prince in St. Simons Island, Georgia (in the southeastern corners of Georgia). http://www.kingandprince.com/

Don't forget to ask for value dates and discounts.

Ok! The official day #1

Ok! Monday was my real day #1... I can't tell everyone what happened but, I have to say that I know many people in Glynn County. And, this is a whole nother world that I've never experience. This career is very fast paced and I'm up for the challenge. I will get the privilege to go to training all over Georgia. I'm so excited! I want to be the best Case Manager for Foster Care I can be. I can see the examples of the person I'm going to become. I can see where God is working on me! I thank God! I know he's AWESOME!

I'm so "Thankful" for the people in my life that has added to who I am positivley. I Thank God for Mrs. Stella! She's sent from Heaven! I Thank God for her!

It's very so interesting to watch me get up early in the morning. I'm so excited for the excellent job I'm doing and the excellent job... I'm going to do! Thank You Jesus.

My First Day on my *NEW* Career!!!

My first day have come and gone. I had a wonderful time during orientation and I met many nice people (some from different counties). At, first my supervisor and other office people was looking for me making me think that I thought I was in trouble already (SIKE!!) but, they wanted to take my picture, give me a company phone and office! I'm so special I have an office. I left for a little while had lunch and completed a drug test (good thing I had to pee shoottt). When I got back Wendy had me ordering all of the things I needed for my desk and from that point on I was busy in my office trying to see how I wanted my desk arranged and what color I wanted to put on the wall. I'm so excited I get to paint one wall my office any color I want. I'm so excited. I'm ready to have my personality shining through. I found out that I'm going to be a placement agent... Placing Foster Children. I will learn more Monday. That's when I will begin my training. I'm so EXCITED to learn so much.

Also. I'm going to miss King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort. I will never forget the love and opportunity they have provided me. From the General Manager all the way to my co-workers I've enjoyed every one. They encouraged me and supported me through every thing I've attempted during my career hunt and my overall move back to GA. I'm so thankful for each and every person I worked with, talked too and laughed with. I will for ever hold this place in high regards.

Another thing... My sister can and ate with me a few times here while I worked and she let me take a picture of her. She had this new nice Haircut and I wanted to display her on my Blog. I love my big sister! Thank God for them!

ShowTime!

Today, I had a really rough day! I just could not get up! I woke up this morning around 8am and was very very tired... I laid down and stayed there until 2pm. I felt better but, my head is still cloudy. I hate to feel like that because tomorrow is "SHOWTIME! " First day at work... Zack will be home! then I have to go to work for 3 hours after doing a 8 hour shift. Pray for me!

I also wanted to note that when I was looking at the pictures from the retreat I loved the different angles that Lisa used. I love it. I love the way they look so different. I've been wanting to say that and I've tried it on some of my shots. I will post them later. But, Thank you Lisa for inspiring me!

Thoughts on New Job

Last Night...


My Friend Jennifer wrote me a very nice email (like many) but, she asked was I scared to begin my new job? I replied as followed;

I am so nervous about this new job not scared because being scared is not of God but, I'm very nervous. I going to be classified as grown. No more school/classes/part time jobs etc... I have to get there at 8am in the morning and I'm going to be dealing with real people in real situations. I don't know but, I'm just going to pray. I'm also nervous because I'm changing... I'm changing into a leader. Even though, I am a leader but, I feel now that I'm going to be MORE accountable. The type of papers I had to sign (during orientation) and take oaths... made me understand that this position is very serious. I feel myself stepping up to the plate and it's exciting because, I know the only way I can go is UP! SO heck yeah I'm nervous!

I wanted to again say.... "that I'm very Thankful to all of my friends that wish me well! Thank You!"
Angie

May 15

Well Well Well, It's May 15... the update on me is... I had a interview 5/11 with Department of Family and Children Services. I had a wonderful interview and I pray that they will call me and invite me to be apart of there team. I'm so excited. Zack was supposed to be home but, he won't come until June 1st... Hopefully my first day at work. I am due to go to the Second Annual Sistahs Retreat on May 18. I can't wait to meet the ladies. It's going to be a Blast. I wish Teefah could come. Below are some pics of my progress with the house. I'm so happy and pleased with it.

Here I Am!!!

Ok! Here I am... I have been MIA. I hate that I haven't had the internet since I've been to SSI but, I have been taken pictures. I really have missed my friends and co-workers. I have begun working at King and Prince Beach Resort and I have had a wonderful time making things work. I love being back in Georgia. I don't really miss Michigan at all. The only thing I wish I had was more paint and a air conditioner unit. I have been painting and painting ever since I've been here and the results are nice! I let my nephew stay with me for a few weeks and it's been fun however, I've missed being by myself however, I've enjoyed the conversation. He's fun. I'm ready for friends and family to come over but, Not really. I still have so much more work to do. Enjoy the pictures. Lots of Love!

Angie

Girlfriends Girlfriends!

Long long day! Had a good time with Alisha, Lateefah, Mary Kate and Paul! Kicking it with Mary Kate and Paul and dinner with Alisha and Lateefah at Outback! Very good!




I just wanted to touch bases and tell you how I feel about car insurance and moving and Let me throw in people too. Ok! The first thing. Car insurance. I can't believe that my insurance company is acting a fool!!! Picture it. My deductable is $250. The work that needs to be done totals $650. The insurance company only want to pay $ 300. Doesn't that sound funny to you? I feel like it's not right! I think they should cover everything outside of my deductable. I believe in customer service and I believe in doing what is right. The don't believe that this company is worthy of the $100. the damage is done and the people can provide the service and I trust the people. I asked the claims lady was she telling me that the body shop was not telling the truth and making up numbers just to get money for a FREAKIN window repair? (btw the window and door is damaged and I believe the body shop because I've been with them before and I trust them). I told the Body shop to do the work... My policy ends on the 22nd and I will have my car back!!! It should NOT take a week for this whole process. Now! Moving. I have so much stuff. I've shifted, donated, packed and I still have so many things left to put into boxes... My question is WHO IS GOING TO UNPACK THIS STUFF! If you can't tell this is my first real Move! I left California when I was young and Georgia when I was in the early 20's but, now! I have things that I like/must have! LOL But, the question is whose going to unpack all of this stuff!!! P.S. I went to the LSS and I spent $35 I have a new question... Where am I going to put these new scrapping supplies? Lastly... I've made some very very nice friends/associated/people here in Michigan and I'm going to miss each and everyone of them in a special way. Everyone has made a great impact in my life and I will forever think of them. BUT! we are down to the last week for me to leave and everyone wants to meet on the same day but, don't really. They want me to set up a little going away gathering so they can come and we can mingle! I tried to get someone else to do it but, they wouldn't so I picked a date... The said yeah! NOW! everyone wants me to change it because it's the wrong weekend for pay day and or it was short notice or something else. Right now... I have too many things going on in my life to be planning a event and no one is going to arrive nevertheless want to pay for there own food. I swear I totally understand there intentions were good but, I can't do everything! Tell me Bye! Call me sometimes and I promise I will be ok! Thanks for listening/reading/ and being there! Goodnight! P.S. I didn't proofread! SORRY!

Fun Date

Alisha is so sweet. I'm so Blessed to have her as a friend. She came and picked me up for breakfast and brought me a Valentine's Day Rose. It is so Sweet and Pretty. I agree with her Mom that she is a Blessing to everyone one she's around. I Thank God for her.

Last night... I had a fun Date! We actually didn't do anything. And, before it was all over he came over my house and went to sleep. It was fun talking to him but, WHATEVER! After I move I'll see!

Meredith is here and I hope to have dinner or lunch with her. I miss her and I want to see her. I think I'm just going to need to take a trip to Kansas City, MO and visit her because I know she's very busy when she comes here. I love her she's a good friend.

It Cold outside. I took some pic of the snowy weather. I can't believe we haven't had any snow at the end of 2006. But, NOOOOO when I get ready to move it wants to SNOW every day. EVERY SINGLE DAY... now don't get me wrong it's very pretty SEE.

*Update* on car... Well I don't know if City Body is still arguing with the stupid insurance company or not but, either way its' crazy. I hope to have everything straightens out but, Monday. I want to return the rental and then get my car back shortly after that. The Deputy J.Ross called me to let me know that others have been vandalized the same way I have and that no one knows who or why. It's crazy. Well, I'm going to be praying for them. I hope they get weary and change there ways. God Bless them.

On Feb 15 this is what happened...

Thank you Lisa for thinking of me. Ladies you just don't know what kind of day I had. First, I must say I took myself to the movies yesterday and seen both Daddy's Little Girls and Norbit. Both were very good movies. Today, I recieved a call for a job interview with the local hospital where I'm moving... TBTG ( I made that one up... Thanks Be To God! ). I was so happy I went outside to warm up my car and... Someone broke my car drivers window. Glass everywhere!! The first thing I said was "THE devil IS A LIAR" I didn't get mad. I just called the police, insurance lady and City Body (repair place). I know God's got everything under control and I'm not going to waste my energy on someone elses ignorance. About the car. It looks like someone used some type of prying tool on the window, broke it and the top of the door frame. It doesn't seem like they even opened the door. I didn't have much laying out two essence magazines and a car charger. To me it seems like they were practicing on how to open a car door or my alarm thing scared them. Everything will be just fine! I have to get everything cleaned up because I'm Moving! TBTG!!! To answer the questions listed... This is too fun! I want to first say that once I clean up all friends and family are more than welcome to come. I can't wait!!! I currently live in Ypsilanti, Michigan. It's the sister city to Ann Arbor (home of University of Michigan). About 40 miles west of Detroit. I lived here for 7 years. I've gone to school the whole 7 years (minus one summer and one fall semester). I will be moving back to Georgia (I moved there orginally when I was 17 , graduated high school there and left when I was 25) The city is St. Simons Island. It an actually Island. You must cross 2 big bridges and 2 small ones to get to the house. My father was born there and I spent many summers there as a kid. The main land is Brunswick. The nearest major city is Jacksonville, Florida at 76 miles south and the second closest city is Savannah, GA at 84 miles north. Atlanta is 316 miles, Albany is 181 and Greensboro is 418 Oh! I didn't forget Tena I'm 265 miles from you! My planned move date was Monday, March 5 but, I got the bug when I went to visit so now I will be leaving on Feb 28. And, I can't wait for many reasons; weather #1, closer to friends and family, no rent, new career... on and on. My main goals are to find a church home, a career that involves my field of study (Educational Leadership Higher Education) and set and complete goals. I want to also open a business (unsure of what), I want to live and enjoy life peacefully and travel both in and out of the US. One of the greatest things I would like to do is Marry my best friend and have kids. So, I'm praying for all of these things. I'll keep you ladies posted on my progress. Thanks so much for reading and caring! I just Love each of you! Many Blessings!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Well today is Valentines Day. Again no boo! But, I ain't mad. I'm chillin this year. I have so many other things to handle rather than worry about not having someone to spend it with. It snowed all last night but, not too too much. I'm just going to enjoy me a steak dinner with a whole bunch of veggies. I just want to chill!

I'm Back

I'm Back and now I can chill for this last 3 weeks in MI. I'm Sleepy but, I'm good. I had a good Trip and Alisha had a good time.

February

This is the month were everything will happen very fast. Sallie Mae wants there money, Sprint wants there money and My first Car note must be paid. I'm so excited to put in my letter of resignation. Sounds funny right! Well I'm moving and I can't commute from Georgia to Michigan sooooo I have to leave somethings behind. Tomorrow... will be the first ever football game with two Black head coaches and We (Alisha and I) will head to Georgia. I think I'm going to take a nap and then leave because I'm alittle leary of all the people drinking and driving but, then again I think it will be early enough on the rode that everyone may be at the event or settled at home. I'm going to be praying, praising and singing. Ta-Nisha said she wants to come but, I don't think she's going to make it. I think it would be fun but, life comes first then fun. Everyone has bills and things to do and take care of. I will be taking pictures of everything on the way to and from Georgia. I will post plenty.

Clutter!!!

Oh my goodness! I never knew how much clutter one can make packing to move. I love my things but, this apt is so cluttered. I need the movers to come and rescue me from my things. I have so many boxes that are full of I don't know what and the other boxes are waiting to be filled. I can't wait until mostly everything is packed. The one thing that is going to be the hardest to pack it the is my scrapping things. Teefah and I have been scrapping on the weekends and it's so fun. I can't believe the good time we have been having. The food is good too. I don't know what I'm going to make this weekend. Last time we had Fish, grits, biscuits, and eggs. Can you say, "um um good".

I will be packing some more things and I'm going to try and remember to take a picture of my progress! I have to stop being so relaxed and need to finish cleaning and packing because I can't stand this mess and fact that I have so much junk around.

and

Layout of the Week!

I can't believe I am the one who made it to layout of the week on Scraps of Color. January 29- February 5 2007 http://www.scrapsofcolor.com/ I'm so excited. This is the first time I've ever won anything related in scrapbooking. I'm so Blessed. The title on Scraps of Color said, "Me Described by Teefah by Angie Daughtry
This was a favorite as soon as we saw it! The colors, the design the concept! Love the tilt of the papers and photos. What a great idea to add a layout to your collection about you from the perspective of a friend or family member. Give a "Book of Me," a totally different perspective!"

Today!

I'm so excited today. I got a message to call Tiare today because my layout will be Layout of the Day! I'm sooooooo excited. I want to see it on there. I worked so hard on this LO. I love it. Lateefah did the questionaire. I found the sketch. I'm so happy with the outcome. I really enjoy scrapping with Teefah on the weekends. Things are so special and fun even though the house is a mess because I'm packing. I will be moving on March 5 and I will be visiting next week. Alisha will be going with me and I hope she don't mind that I will be packing the car up. I can't wait. But, the sad thing is I'm leaving my friends. I'm really going to miss them and so many of them have been very good friends to me! I'm totally Blessed and Thankful!

Photoshoot is ON!

Taking photos within these last few days before I go to Georgia is on! Lateefah and I are snapping like crazy! It's been fun and funny! I get to try out new techniques I've been wanting to try on someone. Last night when we went to Crate and Barrel to make a return it was snowing very prettylike and we broke out the cameras and being snapping! Enjoy! The first pic was at Teefahs. The second was when we were going into Old Navy and the last one was the snow falling down! Isn't it pretty!

My Sofa Came!!!

I have my sofa... I like my sofa! I can't beleive it's almost time for me to move. I talked to the lady about the moving date today. I'm so nervous. I can't believe this time has really come.

Auto Show

Today I went to the Auto Show it Boyce! We had a good time. I had a chance to get interviewed with Christine McDonald from WXYZ Channel 7 News. She asked me what was my favorite color for the cars. And of course I said "GREEN". I have a bunch of cool pictures and have an overall good time. Oh Yeah! We went to breakfast at the Detroit Breakfast House. Everything was good. I had there Catfish and waffle. It was good. The portions was small but, everything was good. Oh yeah we also seen Greg Kelser! The commentator dude.

Party On!

Yesterday was Alisha's Birthday and she's going to have a Girl's Night Laugh at my house. I hope all is well. I wish I could be here for most of it but, duty calls at the U.

Keyan has to move. I hope all is well with her move. The only thing that might be really cool is the distance from her family being that it's going to be closer. I'm going to pray.

Ne-Ne has a Good Man! I'm so happy for her. She's so Blessed! I'm so happy that she's in LOVE!

My NEW....

I have a new Car. I'm going to have to post it later. I Can't believe I did it. I've never had a car note. I'm kind of proud of myself. I know so many people have car notes but, this is my first one. I'm going to enjoy it. Thanks be to God! Grace and Mercy!

ToDay 1/4/07

Well, today I called Tiare and reserved my spot for the next retreat! The Second Annual Sista's Retreat in Atlanta. I'm so excited eventhough it's in May. I also turned down the trip to London. I would love to go but, I would rather move. The trip to London would cost entirely much more money than I have right now. I think I'm going to have to wait. Also, I went to the Honda dealer and I applied for a car loan. I thank God for what he's doing in my life and I thank him for all the things he's allowing. I thank him in advance. I'm getting ready to move to Georgia and I'm excited... I was talking to my coworker tonight and she said I was GLOWING... I told her I was very happy and excited about my move and I just Thank God for all he's doing in my Life!

Last night 1/3/07 Boyce and I went to the EMU double header basketball game. It was good because both teams won. The women were very competitive and the guys just walked all over North Dakota! We had much fun. Now we're trying to find a place to watch some hockey.





Today 1/5/07 because I'm posting so early in the morning... it's my Mom's Birthday! Happy Birthday too her!

Happie New Year!!!

It's the new year! 2007... Thank God I made it.

Scrappin Fun!!!!

Ok! I'm back... from the first annual Sistahs Retreat in Atlanta, GA. I totally enjoyed myself. I learned so much. I've met so many people. I love it. On my journey I made my way over to Ta-Nisha's house in NC. It was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't ask for anything better. I loved the drive and I loved the house. I can't wait to go back and visit. P.S. It was a total surprise to her that I even came. So that made it even more joyful.

Arrived here in NC to see Ne-Ne... I've had a good time. She has been a good host. I would come back and spend more time. We took some pics and talked and talked and talked.... We went to Fat Daddy's and it looked just like Flaky Jakes. I loved it! I called Teefah and told her about it. I was like girl you won't believe it. She was so excited. I was too. We went to Walmart. Then, we seen Buggy. It was funny to see him after all of these years. I didn't reconized him. I asked him " do you know me?" and he was like "where are you from?" I was like Oh MY! How are you? Ne-Ne came over and got us to exchange numbers and then we talked a bit more then Ne-Ne and I rushed back to her place to see Greys Anatomy. I had to tell her about our history... It's crazy how people be coming back... Will until later. Me!

Your Heart!

Well, the other day I went out with you and had a Ball!!! I would love to do it again. I can't believe at the end of the night you decided to tell me that you have eyes for me. I can't believe that you've had eyes for me for a long time. I was taken back because you never showed me any inkling. When you came over on Friday the 13th... it was interesting that you really meant what you said. I so want to believe you. The Kisses wanted to lead me to believe you but, I just struggle within myself to enjoy your presence. I want it but, I know you need to handle your business to be with or around me. I can't be that other women. I've came to far to be her! I can't be your secret Lover! I deserve more! I need you to be done in your relationship before you began anything with me! I have to stay strong and steadfast with those thoughts so we can have some long lasting friendship and relatioship. I know I try to make good choices and I know I'm not perfect but, I need to do the things that I believe right so that I can enjoy every moment of it and not question you, me nor our relationship.

Well, Two days and I'm going to take a trip to NC and see Ta-Nisha. I'm so bad because I didn't tell her that I was going to Atlanta but, then I want to slip and tell her. I'm too funny. I wouldn't admit that I was going but, I'm sure she caught it. She doesn't know that I'm going to be in NC... She going to be so so so so surprised! I like Mitch! I don't know him in an intimate way and the way he kissed me it was just right. I pray and pray that this is no joke. I don't have time for playing games. I'm confident and I don't want any drama! I want truth! Love and respect.

You!

You know I'm not mad at you. I love you and I loved the year that I spent with you. I know the lessons learned in this relationship was well worth the ride. I must say I believe and I pray that I continue to believe. I love love and I loved you the best way I knew how.

The cool thing is that I love myself and I did not comprise myself to make things better when it would have made everything worst. I will always smile when I think of you and yours. You were my first love and I will for ever thank you for being that. You've shown me so much love and life. I thank you... I thank God for allowing our paths to cross more than once. I pray that we will always be good friends. I pray that you continue to strive and reach for all that your heart desire. God Bless you. Good Bye!

US

Us... Today there is no us. Yesterday there was no us. I wish things could be different because I believed in us.

My trip to California was an eye opener. I wanted things to be fun and exciting for us but, with only one person participating in the relationship things just would not work out. I wish we could have talked and ended our relationship like mature adults but, you feel like you just can't talk to me. I know your not a bad person and you need to know that I'm not a bad person. Life just happens and we are not to be together in it. Our levels are so so different and the thing to do is to come up and try and grow together. I know you love me and I know you love me as a friend. I can respect that. I appreciate that. I just want you to know that I want the best for you and I will always love you because you were my first LOVE. I also know that with Christ all things are possible and I know that you will grow into the righteous and forthright man we all pray for you to be. Never give up love and hope. Know that I will always look at you as a beautiful human being and I will always pray for you and yours. God Bless you and Goodbye for now!

Your First Love!
Angie

Photo Day

This was a very nice day. I began with spending time with Deon. I left him and Shia and I went to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. The food was so good. The Chicken was like homemade chicken and not battered like other restaurants. It was very very good. We rode through Hollywood and she took pictures and we went to a gift store. It was very fun. Then, we went to the studios where Heather was taking her senior pictures. It was very nice. I didn't make it there to see her actually in the shoot but, I did get to be involved in the choosing. It was fun. I enjoyed every moment. Shia, Heather and I went from there to the Fox Hills Mall and she took pictures there in her cap and gown. It was fun. We had a ball. I went to my dad's and we got in trouble because he had paid so much money for the first set of pics and we went to the Mall studios and took some cheap not so good quality pics for fun. We laughed and everything worked out fine. I went to be with Deon and then over Debbies! I enjoyed myself.

#23

Well, I'm all packed for Los Angeles. I have butterflies in my stomach because I'm that much closer to see my Man! I can't wait until he hold me in his arms. I can't wait. Thank God. Also, On top of that I get to be with my Mom and Dad. I can't wait. It will be well worth the wait. I love them so much.

ShaRon is going to take me to the airport. She has a new job. I'm So happy for her.

I guess I'm almost ready for this trip.I paid my bill and I paid for the retreat in October in Atlanta. I can't wait to go to that. I can't wait. I know I'm going to enjoy myself.

I go my hair done. it's done but, I look like a Charlies Angel's Farah Fawset. I think that Roz don't like to do my hair, I say that because my hair is fluffy and not going to last.

Teefah's coming over for lunch were going to Olive Garden.

Today was a wonderful day. I've woke up and I'm going to have a wonderful day. I need to pack, go to the bank, and pack! I miss my family and I will be there in 24 hours... I can't wait. I will see Deon. I love Deon. He's going to be at work when I get there but, I'm going to pick him up when he gets off. I Love Him!!!

I will be in LA for the last few days but, I will try to post on line if not. I will write things in my journal and then transfer it onto my blog.

Today I got a card from my instructor and it was so sweet. I will send her a card when I get back from Los Angeles. At first I was thinking that I did something and she was being funny or something... I guess I never think about the random acts of kindness that people really do. I felt great after getting that card. I'm going to scrap it. Also... I did this thing online about whose your inspiration on SJ and I made someones day and didn't know. They make my day all the time and I was really touched... she was so nice and invited me to be in the RAK! I was sooooooo Happpy!

Here was my entry:
I Believe that all of the people of SJ are my inspiration. I really enjoy looking at all of the LO's and really learn from each. I find myself looking at the photgraphy work of "Yoslick", The picture layouts of "Qkumba", The Challenges of "Geminigirl", "Nancyroo" Style, Sheridian is the first LO that I seen from this site and she's been a favorite ever since and Amy Chomas style and usage of Fonts! Just to name a few. But, for the most part I like everyone and I draw my inspiration from many.

Talked to Deon this morning. I had a wonderful Day just because.

#20

After spending the night with Lateefah scrapbooking I eventually woke up and began to function. I think she said it right!!! "We are getting Old". Staying up all night and functioning the next day is getting harder. Everything was fun. I don't feel like I produced the best pages ever but, I did produce some. I also purchased some cards for the rolodex swap. I can't wait to begin on that task of 11 cards about me! I don't know if I want to change them up or just make them all the same. I'm going pray!

I Miss Deon and I really think I'm worrying about him and our relationship because I miss him so much and I want to be with him. I know that long distance is tough but, I trusted that he was going to upwhole his end of the rope. I just pray that things are hashed out when I get to Los Angeles on the 23rd. I know that everything will work out the way it's supposed to when I get there. I wish things was a little different now but, In due time everything will be reveled. I just pray that carries me through like I know he his. Today I was thinking that sometimes... We go through some things to come out ahead. If we didn't go through anything how will we grow. I just know I must keep the Lord First in my life and everything will happen and I can see the light through the storm. I Love Deon so much but, I want things to be God's will not mine!!!

This day I slept so long. It was well needed. I guess I needed the extra rest. My Mom was in a good mood today.

Teefah and I are true scrapbookers and shoppers. We need intervention. I'm on my way over her house and it's going to be so fun! I can't wait... The funny thing is that she will be over her tomorrow!!!

#18

Today, I was very sleepy. I went over Lateefah's and we had an agreement to scrap all night and we did just that. We stopped at 8:30am. I had a wonderful time. I scrapped a good 5 pages... from 12am to 8:30am.

Work was fine. I talked to Mark about his dad having his kidney removed and he said he recovered quickly. He's doing a lot better since the surgery. I know that my God is an awesome God and he's going to work everything out. Also, the Dr. didn't call my Mom back but, she called her main Dr and she called back and she explained that she's going to look into the matter and find out the needed information. She said she was going to email the current Dr. She also said that she was going to see if the current Dr. was interested in doing the proceedure and if not she would refer her to another dr at one of the other hospitals. My Mom also told the Dr. that she also keloid and she wanted to explain that too the surgeon so that he could help her in the healing process by not using staples and other particles that will cause more problems that nessecary.

I talked to Ne-Ne she was cool. I found out my grade which I wasn't pleased about. I have a C+

Today is a good day... I think. I went to sleep very late after scrapping all night by myself.

Today is a new day. I thank God for Mrs. Toy. She talked to me all night last night and we laughed and cried and had a good time. I thank God for her being in my life. Everyone needs that someone to help talk you through sometimes and really care about what's going on. One of her main points for the day was, "if you're a giver... you need to be with a giver". In relation to being in a relationship. You know I try my best not to be a mean person. I just want to be me and in doing that sometimes you find people that will use you and take your kindness and turn it into a weakness.

Today is a beautiful day and I can see the sun shining. I'm so thankful. I'm so Grateful.

I called Mrs. Moody (a lady at the Domingo's probation office)to gain a better understanding on what's going on with his probation and to see why and what types of limitations are holding him back from being in the service. I think the rules that hinder the personal development if the child/teen wants to do better and can. I don't know but, Domingo's charges are very bad and I think that he's going to have to prove himself worthy of many things and the ability not to try and out smart people to get ahead. I think it's a shame that he's chosen the hard road... but, it's his life and he has to live it.

Good Morning... I spoke with Deon this morning. I was so happy.

Well, the results are in and my Mom has a cancerous kidney. I cried and I grieved. I was sad and I wanted to talk. I called Ta-Nisha, then my Dad, and then Selika again.

My Dad has to have eye surgery and it's out patient but, man. I just don't know!

Then, my sister's blood pressure is too high.

LORD, JUST DO YOUR WILL!

I went for a drive and I got some gas and I met Tee's little boy. Tattoo Tee! His little boy was not only cute but, he said, "Sometimes I'm just so Happy and I do this (he starts to smile and dance)". That just made my day. The little things.

I drove to Kinkos but, I just couldn't seem to get out of the car. So, I talked to Mrs. Toy all the way home and longer. And, I was ok. I was shaken up a bit but, I calmed down.

ShaRon came over and said the things that I do know about myself... I'm very very calm... people take that as a "I don't Care" I pray that Deon knows that I care about him and want to be with him. I just pray that he does. You know I do have to say that I did call Deon and I wanted to talk to him about everything but, I did not get any answer and I know he was awake and alert because when I was talking to his Mom he was in the background. He was fuctioning in the background. I didn't call his Mom too hear him nor to talk about him but, I did... I heard and I felt sick to my stomach! from disappointment.

Oops I didn't blog on the 14th... I know I was thinking that I wanted to and should do it right now but, I walked out the door instead. Monday I went to EMU to turn in my papers for extra credit and a self evaluation. Everything was cool. I was going to do my laundry but, I didn't feel like it so eventually I packed up my things and went over Teefah's scrapped for a few then I came home. Nothing special.

#13

The Paper is over! I feel that we did a good job at completing it. I liked my partner Elizabeth Adams. She was very nice and fun. She kind of reminded me of Meredith Mason. Dr. Pokay's class was well worth it. I learned alot of things and I can't wait to see the results of the class.


I was sitting here at work I was thinking of the comment this lady I work with that goes like this, " Everyone Loves Angie". It's funny because everyone seems to like me. That doesn't seem to always be the best thing. I mean. I try to live my life in a way that is pleasing to God and I don't want anyone to dislike me but, I don't do anything extra to make anyone like me. I'm just me. I get mad just like everyone... I do dumb things just like everyone... and most importantly I have feelings just like everyone else. I pray that my husband sees these things as qualities and don't be so bad that that they just don't understand who I am. I know that God has someone for everyone and I just Thank God for his Grace and Mercy!

Again, I wake up thinking about Deon. I feel in my Heart that it's over. I think that if I continue to hold on to everything I will be fooling myself. WE ARE JUST FRIENDS. Ask me does he know. I think he does but, he's never mentioned it too me. I feel that relationships are built on friendships and conversation and he's not doing that for me and I'm not doing that for him. We haven't talked in so long. I can attribute it to the distance because I understand it does put a strain on things. I've given him the account number and he can continue to pay his bill. I will turn my number off after my trip because I like the phone... And, I will talk to him when I talk to him. No, Love lost. He will forever be "My First Love".

Side note... After feeling really bad. I returned a phone call from my nephew and at the end he said,"Auntie, (then he paused...) I love you!" that really made my day. I cried when we hung up because I'm so sad. I know my PMS is on but, I feel so down. I feel like I wish I didn't love Deon because he just don't love me like I need to be loved.

Well, with the grace of God I know he helped me through. I feel 100% better. I pray that everything goes just fine on my vacation. I really Love Deon and I'm just going to continue to think good things and try to make the best of everything. I do promise to be fair to myself. I do want him to know that I do have feelings and I would like to talk with him alot more. He needs to know that communication is key and we are lacking and with out it it will kill our relationship. I need emotional support! I'm not getting it. I pray. I pray!

The pic I've taken today is of the hospital. I was getting off work and I thought it was the perfect timing to capture the beauty of the sky. Also, today I went to my LSS and made a purchase. I totally enjoyed it. Also, the ribbon that I ordered online came today! I was so excited!

#11

I'm up! I'm up! Getting ready to go to see my instructor and then meet with Elizabeth to write this stupid take home test. Yes! I woke this morning aggravated with Deon. I'm trying not to let it bother me but, I know what I know and feel like I feel! So. I'm going to have to deal with it until it's resolved. I've been to work... No call from Deon. I guess it's easy for me to begin doubt. I think it was so nice that we were in love. Or at least I was. I think he really likes me but, I think it's the distance. Right now that's the only thing that I can see. I don't know. I also feel like another factor will because our communication. If we can't communicate we are not going to have a realationship. We are not going to fit together if We don't know one another. Point Blank. I love what I know of him and the time I've spent with him but, I just can't be in a relationship by myself. Yeah, I've tried to shed a tear but, the truth I knew some let down would occur before I moved to L.A. But, the move was for and about me and the bonus was that he was there. The bonus is that he's there. I know I can't predict what's going to happen when I get to California for my trip but, I thing he's not going to have time for me and I'm going to be hurt. I'm going to express my feeling and go on like a big girl! That's what I'm feeling today.

The Detroit Airport is so backed up... Lateefah is on her way to Los Angeles and she was supposed to leave an hour ago. She was explaining to me that people with carryons had to dump everything liquid... hair gel, hair spray, toothpaste, shampoo... you know what I mean. She said that no American Flights are taking off on time and every one must be patted down before getting on the plane and if you have to change planes the process starts over. Better safe than sorry. She was explaining that the only planes that are taken off are the FedEx planes. It's so sad that everywhere is so going through so much attack. I pray for peace today. The world is so tainted with bad people.

This morning I got up at 5:30 am to complete my assignment. I thank God that I've completed it to the best of my ablity. I do think I should start taking more time to accomplish my educational goals. I like school I kind of wish I was done. But, in due time. Deon always say it will be greater later.

Well, today My Mom got the call about Cyst near her kidneys. I pray that everything works out fine. I'm not scared but, I know she is. I can hear it in her voice. Selika, is like everything is going to be ok. I know she's scared too but, she's fronting with this one... I know because she's really scary. My feelings are: I'm scared and I understanding. My thoughts have been alot like my mom's since Barbara died. Thinking about death... I know it's going to happen but, I'm just a little nervous. But, I know God's Got everything undercontrol.

Finally, called Deon. Haven't talked to him in awhile. I thought tonight would be a good time to talk and tell someone about my Mom also. The feeling that I got was not cool. I said "Hello" How are you and he was like Cool... I said are you sleeping he said "NO but a N**Ga is sleepy" Call a N**ga Back in the morning" and then the phone started acting up and it hung up when I was like I wanted to talk to you about something... So I never got to say what I wanted to say.

It's 1 o'clock in the morning and I'm still procrastinating. I can't see to complete this paper. I have some type of block. I need to get over it. I know what to do. I'm just not confident. I need prayer.

Good Friend Nikki emailed me today. I asked her did she recieve the card I mailed her. I just wanted her to know I was thinking of her. Teefah called and said she was getting her hair done and she's going to stop by. That's cool cause I haven't seen her in a minute and it will be cool to have someone to talk to while I'm writing the rest of my paper. I haven't talked to anyone else except my parents today.
