I Like This...





I saw this drawing/vector on another blog and I was intrigued by it. What is there not to like about this portrait of President Elect Obama? It is artistic and the look of determination on his face is amazing.



The people have asked for change. And this the "Face of Change".



Whomever the artist is, I give him/her kudos on an awesome job.

She Brings Out the Best In Me

My sound board. My articulate super star.
The true embodiment of talent.
She is pure will power.
Her verbal assault is cause you to lose sleep for a lifetime.
She goes by the "holly" name of Kadisha.


My frustration. My late bloomer.
Her proscratination is like no other.
She'd rather be catered yet but so independant.
She is the family chameleon.
Will say what you need to her to. She will not lie. But she will fib. {laughs}
She goes by the common yet uniquely spelt name... Krystyna

My ear. My cheerleader.
Influences me to see the good in everything.
Natural flare for fashion and style.
She passes on her optimism & motivates me
She keeps me sane.
Oh Suzanna, I won't let you cry for me.

My emotional twin. My aspiration.
The apitomy of grace, class and humility.
Baring the illness and fatigue yet the true empathizer.
Ever evolving. Ever so fashionable. My Mimi.


The best for last:

My first love. My heart.
I owe her my success for the life she gave me.
I owe her my happiness for the oppurtunity at a purpose
I vow to her my successful happiness.
Sleep easy. I am.
Praise above praise. She is Momma.

I spend most of my day trying to make people's lives more comfortable and/or manageable through their transition into another lifestyle. I am a legal assisant to an attorney whose areas of expertise are in personal injury, criminial law and family law. Family law is what brings in the overhead. When I say family law, I mean divorces, child custody, child support and all the modifications that come with that. I can honestly say that what we do here makes a difference. But what we cannot offer are miracles. Even though the attorney makes it look like they are his special miracles for his clients.

I sometimes wish that people would walk in our shoes for a brief moment and understand that even though we might seem a bit "nonchalant" but we always care. People tend to feed off others energy so we keep calm, level headed and we keep our eyes on the ultimate picture... To get you what you deserve. Mind you, not what you think you deserve. What you might think is fair may not be what the judge orders or what is legal.

With all that being said, I want everyone that happens to come across my blog post to know that even though we may not shed tears for you, please know that when we go home at night we are thinking and sometimes worried for you. We are not robots. We just keep that strong armor on so you can make it to the end with us. ♥

HAPPY CANDY DAY!!!

Halloween is finally here! I have been waiting for this "holiday" since my birthday, which was back in July. Not because of the candy. I am very picky when it comes to candy. It either has to be milk chocolate or chew candies. I usually don't venture out because I've been burnt, literally, by candy. LOL It isn't obviously about the candy. It is about the creative minds of children. They have this idea of what they want to be and the parents have to execute it. I like the ones that will endure the face painting and elaborate costumes. They put it off so well. Nowadays, you see 10 year old wearing sexy kitten costumes... Um no! Not proper!

Not a lot of kids come out to my neighborhood anymore. They all go w/ their friends and family to the local churches. *sighs* I miss them coming around. I bet we'll only have give or take 20 kids come out. That's good because we only made 20 treat bags... Speaking of which.

Mi mami & I put together little treat bags for the lil goblins. (Note to self: Take pics of treat bags) They are so cute. They have a singular black cat w/ a witch's hate. My mom asked me why I am doing this and I told her "So the little kids can have Christmas on Halloween". Yet another holiday I am so looking forward to.

I have been so creatively inspired these last few months that it is kind of scaring me. LOL The more I do creatively, the more I feel better about the person I am becoming.

My Triumph...

I enjoy going to Target & Kohl's to find shirts for myself. They seem to be the only stores where I can get quality shorts, guaranteed to have my size and at a moderate price. Old Navy is a close 2nd to the aforementioned. I am not going to sugar coat it. I am fat. According to my physician I am obese. My problem is not with food consumption but keeping my body active. I was instructed to do something physical every day for at least 20 minutes. I confess, I do NOT like to work out. I used to but I've gotten so lazy. Now I am paying for it. I am now 28 years old and I have decided that I will treat my body the way it should be treated.

Not only will I continue with my organic body treatment outside but also within. I want to look 20 something when I am late 30 something. I have to start loving me more than I love procrastinating. That is going to be challenge because procrastinating and I have had a long term love affair.

Oh I digress. My triumph is that I can now shop in the ladies section. I mean I understand I am still a bit too big for a lot of the clothing in the ladies section but I do not have to JUST shop in the plus size section. That might sound a bit odd to some people but I have come a long way. I hope to fit into a moderate size by New Year's Eve. I am actually excited.
