All I want for Christmas is...

Howdy!

For those of you that have been living in a cave, Thanksgiving was yesterday. In light of the holiday, im starting a new tradition this year. Since retailers put out all the Christmas stuff right after Thanksgiving, I figured I would put my Christmas list out right after Thanksgiving as well. Feel free to buy any, all or none of what you see on this list. (I know you think im crazy, but its worth a shot right ? I think so)

1. A white West Highland Terrier (A little white dog)
2. A black 2008 Lexus IS250 (A black car)
3. World peace (Quit killing each other! Dayum)
4. "Ambitchous" by Debra Condren (A book)
5. My teeth whitened (pearly whites)
6. The second season of Desperate Housewives on DVD (no smart comment to put here)
7. Perfume (from B, Paris, Mariah or Diddy to name a few)
8. A pair of "Latchh" boots by Steve Madden in Cognac
9. Bluetooth ear piece 1
0. Laptop tote from Tarjay (Target) in brown or red leather
11. Anything from the heart

...feel free to send me your Christmas list as well! Smooches!

XOXO,

Im back!

Its been a while…I blame it on sheer laziness. Nothing more, nothing less. Well let me get you caught up to speed. I have been on my current engagement almost two weeks. Fortunately, my daily commute to the client site is only 20 minutes on a bad day. So for that, Im greatful.

I have a few trips lined up before the close of 2007: Atlanta (of course), New Orleans, and N. Carolina. Its killing your girl’s pockets! Its all good though, such a small price to pay to spend time with my loved ones.

Im really exicted about the progress of the non-profit I work with (http://www.kopeinc.org/). We have some new members and they all bring their own flair and talents to the table. Welcome to K.O.P.E.!!!

Last week I started a Hip Hop class! I miss performing and learning routines PLUS I need to exercise more, so this was right up my alley. Watch out for me in the next Ciara video =) I am trying to figure out other ways I want to ‘get involved’ during my stay here in D.C. Those of you who know me, know things aren’t right if I don’t have a million things to do at once.

Things have been really slow motion in the social department. But that’s changing slowly but surely. I’ve been meeting some pretty cool cats on this work assignment. The hip hop class is taught by a co-worker and I take the class with another co-worker.

It took over a month, but I can officially admit that I am H-O-M-E-S-I-C-K!!! It happened after I missed my flight to Atlanta. I wouldn’t have missed the fight home had I been home already. Its all good…im coping as well as possible. Please believe that EVERYONE who can make it happen knows that my first priority is coming home. On the same note, I am trying to balance myself and not have tunnel vision. I definitely need to enjoy myself while I’m here.


Well, let me get back to work…lol
