good news & bad news

1st the bad news...

In a previous post, I told ya'll that my dad spent a week in the hospital...

well, the prognosis is: small cell lung cancer

it's crazy... I mean yea he's smoked all his life, but my dad is ONLY 50!!!! I cannot lose my father at 50...

The good news however is, I've quit smoking!!!!!

3 days & counting - tick tock, tick tock

In anycase, all my free time is spent running around, making sure dear old dad is doing what he's supposed to be doing; taking care of the children... just 2 weeks until school starts & tryin not 2 kill the husband in the process - until death do us...

That's all for now, I do want some comments now - but until I have more news;

over N out

I love ya Dad!!!!

I got comments working on my blog - thanx 2 a DEAR friend of mine...


Thanks Dori ;p


In anycase, now u can leave me a comment...

holla!

I jumped the broom

Ok, I know, I know...

I am not the best, most up to date of bloggers - but in my defense u know I was planning a wedding...

Then from the wedding, my life spiraled in to a plethera of demands, obligations and tragedies...

I had a health issue...

My father spent a week in the hospital...

And I had to return to my so called j0b...

Things are quiet for the moment...so i'll fill u in shortly.

i know

I know, I know, it's been a looong little minute since I posted here... There have been some new developments & I've been spending a LOT of time preoccupied, surfing the net & trying 2 plan a wedding. Yep u read it right, I am gonna get married!!! Can u flippin believe it?!?! Me neither...


I used 2 be the Queen of the "i don't need a man club" and while that may still be the case, I don't need a man, but I love my man... I do, as much as I am capable of love, love him. So there it is, we are finally being reunited & it's kind of a "now or never" sort of thing with me...

Those that know me, know I have NO patience... When I want something I want it now!!!

That being said, yes, I am getting married on the seventh day, of the seventh month, in the seventh year of two thousand... @ 7 pm wish me luck...

50

Today is my mother's 50th Birthday!!!

And also a VERY stressful day 4 me...

so even though I know she will NOT read this blog - she's not the most computer orientated individual -

Happy Birthday Mommy... I love you!

the HIStory

um, where 2 begin forward back or beginning 2 end...

I suppose we can start at the beginning... those that know me already KNOW the majority of this, but sometimes it just helps 2 get it out...

I was born in the 70s - even though I wish I was of age in the 70s with the Disco movement LOVES IT!!! In anycase I was born in the 70s 2 a white mother & black father - although they were NEVER married - in those days common law was in affect so they were married just not of the legal stature. It was the best of times...It was the worst of times, but that time has past and what u see is what u get, so goes it ;p

confusing, who me? no...guess u gotta know me 2 love me.

All was fine and dandy, from what I can remember until teen aged angst. By that time my parents were over & I was being raised by an white mother, in an all white neighborhood & I suppose that's when the fit hit the shan. I began 2 resent who I was, for what I was made of & all those that loved me suffered my wrath. I'm not all bad, just EXTREMELY emotional & as with most teenagers I acted out. U name it, I've done it, that is pretty much a promise...I've run away, been rebellious, experimented, self medicated (coughs-shruggs shoulders with angelic look upon brow), dropped out of school etc etc. But all in all, ALL those things made me the person I am today. And if u do not know me in this world... I can be pretty charismatic!

More 2 come...

In case u didn't know

Hi!

Welcome 2 my 1st blog... I've been lurking around the blog-is-sphere 4 a while now & decided 2 bite the bullet & start a blog of my own. Perhaps it will serve as a productive outlet 4 all this pent up anxious energy I have & obviously as a venting post.

So, where 2 begin...
I am a 31 year old, biracial female - momentarily of the single status - but that is only 4 the time being. I am engaged 2 a WONDERFULLY, remarkable man named Markie. So if u was thinkin bout it might as well get it out of your mind because he & I will be together 2 the grave & beyond!!!

I have 1 child (and if the fates have their way with me - he will not be my only) a soon 2 be teenaged boy named Emmanuel. He has taught me so much in life but we BOTH have so much more 2 learn.

I've obtained the 1st of many degrees that I plan on pursuing, but currently I am just NOT quite sure in which direction I want 2 gO. I work full time, am a full time mom, home owner, volunteer, animal advocate - in short I wear many MANY hats.

4 the record, I am not here 2 be graded, or judged - but 2 clue u in, my blog will be a compass of educated, ignorant bliss with some random jargon thrown in the mix.

Other than that...I'll keep u posted, but 1st I have 2 catch u up...so stay tuned ;p

Holla
