1. Don't ever tell a woman she intimidates you and then still try to make her be interested in you. It won't work. period. the end.

2. I'm sick of weddings. I'm sick of bridal shower invitations with registry cards, bachelorette party invitations with registry cards and wedding invitations with registry cards (which breaks etiquette rules). I'm tired of going to wedding.channel/knot.com to view personal web pages that tell how couples met and how they knew they were the one when they first linked eyes (even though I know the real story lol). I'm tired of going to macy.s/ fortun.off/ crate.barrell/ william.sonoma to buy place settings that won't be used. I'm tired dammit.

3. I know I've said this before but why when you aren't looking on point *note I'm never out looking like a bum, when I'm off I'm at 90 as opposed to 100 lol* you always either run into someone from the past or someone tries to holler. Saturday i'm out by the lake, I've already walked two miles and stopped to tie my shoe when I heard my name being called. So I look over and it's this incredibly beautiful and chocolatey old friend from h.s. So we hug (man that hug was great lol) then we talk about the craziness going on in life (my ex and his ex are expecting a baby with each other and got married in January) then we hug again (his body was whew lol) and then he asked for the number so we could keep in touch. I've decided I'm just going to walk around in work out gear looking sweaty because when I'm at dinner, a lounge, shopping or at events men are scared... but the gym, the track, the lake and park it's on and popping. *sigh*

4. It's such a good feeling when someone stops you and says "are you losing weight? what are you doing?" and you say nothing special working out and eating right.

5. I'm a fiend for shopping. I've been trying to stop but I thinkI need help. I was doing good then I decide to go in a high end boutique and let Tracy.Reese and Nanette.Lepore touch my skin and fit my frame and I get even more high. I walk in the shoe salon and when the salesman slides my foot in and my arch curves and I begin to float across the room it's like I've taken another hit. By the time I reach jewelry and accesories I've already got three bags and the shakes. I swear it's an addiction.

6. I love singing. It really just makes me feel so full inside. From my diaphragm contracting to the pitch and tone and the way I quiver when I hit a note I absolutely love it. Singing is something that is so intimate to me. It's a talent that I feel I was blessed with and it's one of the many ways that I feel like I can bless others. When I'm on stage under the lights singing solo or with with a group I feel like I connect to someone and that's what makes me fulfilled.

7. Has the sound of someones voice ever just make you smile? All they say is hello or goodmorning or even hey what's up and you smile. Even beyond the regular conversations you smile. You get a text message and see their name and a smile forms, you wake up and check your email and their name is in your inbox and theres a grin, you leave out and come in and you have a voicemail and it's from him and there goes that smile. Have you ever just been intoxicated with someones voice? The innotations and inflections and the way they say your name makes you let out a little sigh. You all get so drunk listening to each other speak that you've ran out of anytime minutes so you alternate talking on IM, text messages and phones and then at night speak each other to sleep. What if this happens every single day? hmmmm

8. I love love love my sister. She's finally realizing that I can still be her baby sister and an adult at the same time. She's also realizing that although I love being an adult and doing adult things that I still enjoy being spoiled and treated like the baby.

9. It's so weird how one month someone can be such an important part of your world and just a month or so later you wonder why did you even let them in your space.

10. I really really really want a drink. I haven't drank since mid february and was doing fine until I had some of Nanny's grand.marnier cake today (thought it was regular cake) and once the taste got in my mouth I so wanted a drink lol. Quite a shame. Then it didn't help that my buddy got me a bottle of nectar.imperial to celebrate my new job so it's just sitting on my bar until I can pop it open after easter lol. Such a shame.

11. I am so so so happy to have a new job it's not even funny. The commute may be crucial but I really think I'm going to love my new gig.
