Hello ppls...yessss it's snowing soooooo bad in MD o! Heard it's going to be about 12 inches or so. It started since last night and everyone is just stuck in there houses. I heard that the cops are pulling ppl over on the road and begging them to go back home...I dunno where these ppl are going sef...in this weather???

So yea...I'm def bored...watched almost all the Naija movies on youtube....cable is boring!!!... facebook is dry...read a book....cooked and cleaned...urg!!!!

It's times like this that I wish I had a tall, dark, and handsome teddy bear lover boy to snuggle up with...oh well, my comforter, hot coco, and lap top will do for now *sigh*...Hope everyone is enjoying the wkend! And for the folks that are snowed in like me...stay warm ooo...

Here's a poem that I wrote a few dayz ago...enjoy!!!

I Miss You

I Miss You

I Miss You



Miss the butterflies in my tummy from beholding your beauty

Miss the darkness of your skin that’s comparable to milk chocolate

Miss the way you looked at my in pure admiration



Miss the way your lips once engaged me on a journey to cloud nine

Miss the promises that your eyes made for a happily ever after love story

Miss the way your arms once offered me serenity and security



Miss the dreams that we once shared

Miss the values that we once held dear

Miss the miracles that we once believed in



Miss the laughs that used to cause us to collapse with joy

Miss the smiles that used to take our pains away

Miss the exhilarating winks that used to take my breath away



I Miss You

I Miss You

I Miss You



P.S. Guess who I was thinking about when I wrote that?...Uh Uh...yup...him..*sigh*

STAY BLESSED FOLKS!

Hey ppl! Howdy!...Hope all is well???

Well...I'm currently at home...chillin...have nothing to do...per se
I got laid off yesterday, my company finally hit rock bottom and had to let majority of the ppl go yesterday...the business officially closes on December 31st.

I'm doing okay...I'm actually good...I trust God!
It was a bit of a shock though...tomorrow definitely isn't promised! I thank God that I was a bit prepared (I guess emotionally), even though I didn't see it coming.

I worked for the company for over a yr..there were good times and bad times...I met a lot of great ppl...learned a lot of new things...I thank God for the opportunity...even though I complained soooooo much while working there.

All in all sha, I'm waiting on God to work it out...I'm not worried. I just pray that my former co-workers will be okay...especially the ones with families.

I wrote this poem yesterday at work before I knew I was getting laid off....enjoy

God Favored Me

He Favored Me

Through my trails and my tests



He Favored Me

Through my worry and regrets



He Favored Me

Through my worst and my best



He Favored Me

Through my issues and my tear stained tissues



He Favored Me

Through my pain and during the rain



He Favored Me

Through my doubts and disdain



He Favored Me

Through my failures



He Favored Me

Through my disappointments



He Favored Me

He Favored Me

He favored me through it all



The good and the bad

The ups and the downs

The highs and the lows



Even in the midst of my shaken faith…

Even in the midst of my questioning…

Even in the midst of my inability to understand…



God Favored Me!



Take care!!!

Hello Folks....

Hope all is well? Hope you all enjoyed your weekend?....Well I did!...I saw the Princess and the Frog ;-)...it was a nice movie.

It was brought to my attention that some ppl were having a hard time commenting on my blog ...soooo that's what it was...I felt unloved for a sec!...I believe that the prob is fixed now tho...hopefully!

Well 2-0-0-9 is slowly but surely coming to an end....and I've just been reflecting about how my life changed this year.

I can surely say that I'm not where I want to be, but I'm definitely not where I used to be....Thank God

It's interesting how certain events/situations that seem terrible or "bad" can eventually turn out to work for one's good...This year hasn't been a piece of cake for me but I must say that I've grown/matured so much this year then ever before.

The year started off with a BANG!!! I was so happy and hopeful...expecting this year to be so much better then 2008...ready to leave all the sorrow, shame, and failures behind...

Then as days turned into weeks and weeks into months...I discovered that it wasn't smooth sailing for me...

Some key things that occurred this year are as follows...I got baptized!!!...I start a new ministry at church...I got a new position and raise at work...I met some new friends and went on vacation w/ them...I was finally able to call someone my best friend...I got a new apartment...I started this blog!!!!... All of my family members that were expecting gave birth safely... I didn't loose anyone to death...God gave me a favourable result (from a mammogram) after two lumps were found in my breasts...I didn't get into grad school as I wished (But God is working it out)...SC and I broke up after 3 1/2 yrs...my Dad and I actually had a "fight"...I fell in love with Jesus all over again!...and so on and so forth...

All of these occurrences and much more has shaped me into becoming a stronger, bolder, more confident and focused Blessing...and they're all testimonies whether they're considered "good" or "bad" they all taught me to put all my hope and trust in the Lord and that's the greatest lesson that I've learned this year...I'm so grateful, because thru the trails, storms, disappointments, tears, and the rain....I can still say that I'm so happy and I've never been this happy in my life! Finally that void that I've had for so long has been filled with an everlasting, unconditional, and mind blowing L-O-V-E!!!!

I finally love myself and I'm comfortable with whom God has created me to be...I have a sense a purpose and now every minute counts...2-0-0-9 has been an AMAZING year and I can't thank no other then G-O-D for seeing me through!

And what makes it even better is that 2009 is not over yet! I'm still expecting God to surprise me and I want to...scratch that I will end this year REJOICING!!!!...

I also want to take this time to thank you all that have read my blog and commented...for those of you who has taking out the time to encourage me, cheer me up, advice me, and make me laugh...I appreciate you all...you all have truly been a blessing...God bless you and may he give you a Christmas gift like no other!

2-0-0-9 has been a remarkable year....But its not over!....

Cheers

***Blessing

Yes ma ppls I need help oooo...I LIKE FOOD TOOOO MUCH!!! Oh gosh it's annoying at times!

I just love the diff varieties, colors, textures, smell, tastes of food...everything about food makes my heart skip a beat (God forbid o)...mmmhmmmm

From..turkey to chicken to steak...to pasta to rice to...cakes and ice cream...and mmm Chocolate!!!...yes I need help!

Now I'm craving seaford...shrimps...crab legs...salmon..fried tilapa..lobster...YESSSSS the works! Someone needs to take me out for dinner ASAP!

My obsession for food probably explains why I've only lost 1 pound after I've been working out for about a month and a half!!!...Urg it's so annoying...I wanna loose about 20 pounds..my belly is slightly hanging, my jeans/ pants are too tight and my tops are a lil snug...May God help me ooo..Amen!

Okay with that being said...My day has been okay...I've barely done any work and I really don't care! Turns out that the company that was suppose to buy my current company (since they filed for bankruptcy) backed out..so where does that leave me??? No job security ooo...as in I'm fill out job apps like mad...I was only giving till January anywayz...

I so can't wait to get into grad school..by God's grace, I'm tired of having a job...I want a CAREER!!!..It sucks cuz my B.S. degree seems so worthless...Well I'll be re-applying to schools early next yr and by God's grace I'll get accepted...Can't wait!!! or can I???

Well that's it for now...don't have anything else to say at the moment...Back to work I go :-(

Ciao!

P.S. Can someone please tell me how to change my template without loosing any of my current features?...thanks!

Well first of all...God saved my behind a few weeks ago!!! As innn...BIG TIME!!!

So I'm apart of a certain ministry at my church and we had a lil dinner party about 2 weeks ago where you could invite guests...especially non-Christians, etc.

So I now had this very smart idea (or so I thought)to invite a former toaster from work...as in he used to stalk me like crazy a few months ago! From walking into my department to see if I was there (mind you he works on another floor ooo), to waiting outside until I got off of work, to pretending that he was walking to his car only to follow me and start up so dumb convo, as in he begged for my # over and over again!!! But for some reason...I just kept denying him...which is unusual for me...

And how sha, I wanted to invite him cuz I knew that SC would be there and I've told him about this former stalker before...so I had my plan set, knowing that SC would figure out that he was the guy that was chasing me...especially since he knew his name...I even told a couple of my friend and we were soooo happy!!!...

SMH...the guy never showed up oooo...I was a bit disappointed but wateva jare, I brushed it off. Sent him an email at work...asking why he didn't show...he didn't respond and I didn't see him since then...

Well last night I added one babe like that as a friend on facebook and lo and behold...guess who's pix are in her album!!!...my former stalker/co worker that stood me up!!!! Get this...he was married to her sis and there divorce was just finalized a few wks ago!!!! OMG!!!! and what makes it worst was that he used to attend my church (his ex-wife still does btw)...so imagine if he walked into the place saying he was my guest and all the pastors etc were there...ah I thank God ooo...can you imagine the looks that I would have gotten???

And to add fuel to the fire..his wife divorced him for physically abusing her, cheating on her, and because of him having a prob with her making more money then him....and to top it off...HE COULDN'T SATISFY HER IN BED!!! (Oh heck no!)

Thank God o for having my back that's all I can say...for realz mehn..that's wat u call a-koba!!!!

Wohooo!!! I couldn't sleep last night when I found out...

And guess who texted me today????? SC!!!...This is just too weird to me, I wasn't really happy...I was just shocked, as in I was cracking up until I remembered that I was at work...

He said "Good morning, can I get you something for Christmas? & What would you like?

WHATTTTT!!!!!

At first I was gonna say no, but the gangsta in me stopped me and reminded me that I deserve it after alllll he's put me thru!!!

I nau said that he could buy me what ever he'd think I liked...he asked if I wanted a GPS or phone (my head started spinning)...I said a phone...he nau asked iphone or BB...I said "I'd prefer a BB, thanks"....LOL, so yea I'm getting a new phone for Christmas from my ex...mmmmhmmmmm...guess he realized what he's missing!

That's all folks!

***Blessing***

Oga ooo...I put up a post stating that I've missed you all and apologized for being MIA and no one responded! Gosh...i feel so rejected, where's the love? Are we fighting????

Anyway sha, I still miss you all! Have a wonderful, victorious, and blessed week all! And Merry Christmas in advance..."Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"...err the snow this weekend (in MD) is an unfriendly reminder that its about to be COOOLLLLDDDD!!!

I dislike cold weather mehn...but I do like the winter fashion!...all the gloves, sexy winter coats and scarves, oooo weeeee!!!!

And then it's also an unfriendly reminder that I don't have a boo to keep me warm
:-/... then again that's probably a good thing! Cuddling has gotten me in a lot of trouble in the past!..it's all good sha, if you can't tell...well let me tell you then I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN OVER SC!!!!...Oh gosh it's so hard! I still love him *sigh*... And then he had the nerve to send me a text on Saturday afternoon saying that he misses me...and it's annoying cuz I miss him too...smh

All in all I'm a better person because of the breakup so I thank God, I'm stronger and wiser....praise him!

I hope all is well with everyone else! And as the year runs to an end, I pray that the Lord will keep us and our families safe and that he'll surprise us with a huge blessing as well...Amen!

P.S. I have some crazy gist for you all! Be back to tell it


XOXO
