It's a New Year!

Hey!
Lot's has gone on over these past two weeks. Sorry I've been away, but I'm sure you understand. I have so much to say.... My holidays were wonderful, and I'm praying that yours were as well.
Amongst other things I spent a bunch of time with my family and friends and that was wonderful...I almost had a fight with my dad's wife. She screamed at my son like he had a tail because she saw him come outta her room. But I sent him in there to get his coat, only after guests were in and out of there (on tour) and getting their coats. All this after she had told me not to yell at my kids cause it "bothered her." I had to literally grab my babies and run to the car so I didn't go biserk! When I walked out, the door slammed behind me, and she opened it up and whispered "don't slam!' (so my dad couldn't hear her I guess)...I told Trina and she said I shoulda said..."You better be glad it was the door and not you!" I shoulda huh?? lol.
But naw, instead I took the high road and just drove away with angry tears in my eyes...I'm not beat for that drama. So we won't be visiting their "new crib" again.

On New Years Eve...I was supposed to work but I got cancelled. So I went to philly and visited an old friend. He was all by himself and it was kool we could bring the New Year in together. He kept thanking me for coming and lookin at my legs and toes, asking me to marry him. I just laughed. When midnight struck, we weren't really paying attention and we heard pops....lol...I was like, oh no! gunshots (it's from living in DC)...he was trying to figure out if the bullets could come in the window and get us. We just laughed. It was fire crackers btw.

After I left...I was hungry and everything was closed, so I took myself, a good book and some money he'd given me to a diner. (the reason I LOVE Jersey) The waiter kept bringing me hot chocolate with tons of whipped cream...(on the house) He asked with my last one...if I bring you another one will you stay all night?? I giggled. The nerve of these dudes.



On another note, I also decided to move back to New Jersey for a few months to help me prepare to buy a home. My goal was originally to buy a crib with my bro...but now that he is expecting babies and all and all in love...it looks like he'll be settling down. Just not with me....what? I'm kool wit that. lol
Seriously, I'm so happy to see him evolving into such a man, I will happily move aside as he moves forward.

So now, in 2006, I'm making no resolutions. As they typically are broken...but I'm determined to move forward and become better. I'm just taking things day by day...praying...trying to live life to the full, in spite of the twists in turns that it entails.

Happy New Year Ya'll!
