My Blue Shoes

I finally decided that it's time for my blue shoes, to come home to mama. Sure they aren't like Carrie's Manolo Blahniks, but heck I love them too. See I left them at the ex's house over two months ago, and I still haven't gotten them. I guess I just haven't had the guts to face him but I'm totally ready now. I'm sure my scenario won't end like Carrie's, I'm sure when I get to his house my blue pumps won't be waiting for me in his hands, in fact he might just leave that shit at the door...but hey, it's whatever. So tomorrow will be the day, yes tomorrow sounds good.

What has brought about the fantastic change of courage you ask? Well there's a new interest. Wouldn't wanna call it a love interest, but he's someone I really like, seriously. So I'm good and ready to let go of the past, but in order to do so, I need to bring my Blue shoes into the future; maybe even on a date with the "new guy."

Side note & totally random: Don't have burgers from Juniors- it's no good. I had a dinner date tonight with my brother, and my burger was straight up nasty.

Sex & the City

The night I went to see Sex & the City started out a happy one. I rolled out my bed thinking today would finally be the day I see the movie with my three girlfriends Jodi, Missy, and Jackie. Fast forward to 11 at night and we're sitting in Fridays coloring before we go see the 12:35 AM show.

seeeee.....we colored!!!


She was really getting into hers though :)





N E how...fast forward some more and the movie has begun. The ladies are coloring in the movie and we're all laughing at what a coincidence that us four was just doing the same thing they happened to be "doing."

But all of a sudden, things weren't so great anymore and I realized I went to see the movie for the same reason every other woman who has lost someone she loves did, to see if the ultimate couple of the "breakup" would get back together. If they didn't then I would know there was no such thing as hope, that I had lost one, that it was truly over. A bit overly dramatic huh? But hey! It was the truth.

But that didn't happen. Carrie and Big actually got back together after their zillionth breakup. So here I am sad as hell at the end of the movie cause I'm like damn, does this mean I should pursue my current situation. & then I realized.....

HELLLL NOOO!!!!! Although Carrie and Big were the ultimate "breakup" couple, although, he dumped her on their wedding day, although he broke her heart numerous times over, at the end of the day Karrie didn't go running back to him, he ran back to her. & that's the way it should be. At the end he made the effort and showed Karrie she was what he really wanted. So therefore, I am done!!! I am done chasing after some man who doesn't want to be chased. I've finally figured out that "life doesn't always turn out to be your fantasy, that's why you need friendships that are real to get you through it all." & that I do have. Well said Carrie B.

Major Throwback

So tonight I came home from work and felt really tired. Decided to get on YouTube and all of a sudden I was listening to old Whitney hits. This happens to be one of my most favorite.

How Will I Know- Major throwback


My mom usta sing this all the time when I was a little girl and so did I. I usta try to do the dance and everything from the video. Love Whitney man.

What's your favorite Whitney Houston song?

To Be Celebrated or Not?

Today is June 8th. Three years ago this was prom night and I was dancing my life away, here a flash back for ya :)

pretty cute huh?!?!

N E how...yea, so it's prom night and I'm having a grand time celebrating my high school career and there it happens,I meet this guy. No names to be mentioned cause gosh you people already know who he is. We exchanged numbers, actually called, and ended up in 3 yrs of something. 3 years later I'm finally putting that relationship to rest-permanently- and I wonder should it be one to be celebrated much like the prom or should it be looked upon as a major mistake.

Let's make a pros and cons list.

Cons

- I inherited a headache
- also a major heartbreak (I'm better now though :)
- I was never truly myself completely
- I spent ALOT of time crying
- I got more use to being disappointed than any girl should.
- I've been stood up more times than you and all your girlfriends put together
- At the end of the day, I'm not the same girl I use to be

Pros

- I got to experience love
- I met my best friend in the entire world
- I got to inherit an awesome extended family, his
- I now get advice from the smartest women I've ever met, seriously
- I love the munchkin; Malachai- his little brother
- I'm so EFFIN' smarter
- I'm not the same girl I use to be

What do you think? The relationship; to be celebrated or not?
