Happy April 30

Today is April 30 and that means...well, nothing special!! It's just a beautiful day; the sun is shining and I'm alive!! So YAY for today!! So, let's see...what's new with me? Well, wedding mania has begun for me! My FAVORITE cousin on the planet, Nikki, got married on April 21st!! My sister is getting married May 12! One of my dance ministry sisters and her husband are renewing their vows in mid-June. Another cousin is getting married at the end of June. Lastly, my friend Angie is getting married July 21!! (The weddings that I mentioned with specific dates...I'm part of the wedding party!!) Weddings are beautiful things BUT they can be costly to be a part of!! On DRESSES alone this year, I've spent over $500...and I'm not even the one getting married! But it's ok!! Yay for love and marriage and all that comes with it! And speaking of weddings, I guess my mom has rubbed off on me...I had a moment of weakness and bought a Modern Brides magazine this weekend!! It's really thick (like Vogue) and has lots of EXPENSIVE ideas (again, like Vogue) but it's stuff that can be done just as nicely with a smaller budget! It's fun looking through the mags and "planning" for my wedding!! Hey, I'm just trying to get better with advanced preparation!! At least, that's what I tell myself when I'm looking online at reception sites! LOL!

Be sure to post some pics from your sister's wedding. There's nothing I love more than wedding pictures (except for baby pictures). :-)

Changing

So...I have decided that for REAL this time, I want to cut my hair...specifically like Rihanna's cute lil bob cut!! I want it cut like that AND colored!! It will be cute...I will be cute WITH it and I'm excited!! For a while, I was "afraid" to cut my hair, but why...seriously, it's JUST hair!! It will grow back...and if I can't wait, in this day and age, I can BUY some hair!! So I'm going to do it...this comes on the heels of my decision to ACTIVELY change the way I look...for the better! Normally, I pride myself on the "appearance isn't everything" way of thinking! And while that statement is TRUE, it's still SOMETHING!! So, I want to be proactive in changing my look!! I'm excited about further developing my style and what I like!! I may even post pictures!! Ooh!!

Bright as a highliter!! Really?

Warning: the following post is about tinkle aka urine! If you care not to know about this part of my life, please exit this blog now! (Or read a few other posts!) OK, now that I've given the warning...I have a question: Is anyone else UTTERLY DISTURBED by the fact that vitamins cause your tinkle (calling it "pee" seemed so juvenile in writing, although that is TOTALLY what I call it in "real life!") to be FLUORESCENT? I mean...honestly, I'm sure that if I took my vitamins later in the day and I went to the bathroom at night, then I'd probably NOT need to turn the light on. I'm rather bothered by the fact that something that is supposed to supplement and help my body causes another bodily function to alter, for lack of a better way to say it, in such a way! My nurse practitioner told me, but when she said "the first time" I thought she meant just that, the FIRST time! Not the FIRST tinkle EVERY DAY after I take my vitamins!! Yikes!! It's

The Real McCoy

(I started this forever ago! How about if I ACTUALLY post it!) You know what, lately, I've been having lots of discussions that have caused me to realize that I have a new outlook on relationships! Well, more like a new way of thinking when it comes to how I'll enter my next relationship! What is this great, deep & wondrous revelation you ask? Well, simply that I've decided that I'm going to be ME! This revelation came from a number of different places: talking to one of my dance ministry sisters, a comment from my friend Anita, a blog posting from my fellow TRINITY sista and talking to my sister today! So, yeah, onto the revelation! For the next guy who I enter a relationship with, he's going to get the REAL DEAL! He's going to get the sarcastic, loves to eat, LOVES God AND secular music, say what I feel, size 16 with no plans to become a size 1, checks my email CONSTANTLY during the day and would rather text message than talk on my cell Tonyette ! So, Peac
