Adventures Of Me-Teandrea Watson

Think We May Have Found It

2012-01-29T10:02:00.000-08:00

The other day while I was over in Lansing, I saw a former space that used to be a Toy's R Us. Me and my associates have been looking for a building in which to house our competitive cheer/dance/drill program. I just looked it up and saw that it is available, so I sent in a request for information. It would be a perfect spot for it. Working on that website for the next hour or so before I have to go and take care of some business. Then enjoy a nice evening out with the family and a close friend.

Good Morning All,

Sorry for the sidetrack yesterday. But I had to release something that I have been holding onto for years. This woman has been a pain in my ass since October 2008. Makes you want to be with someone who has a non-existent family or a family that acutally has a life and will stay out of yours. I guess that is what I get for being with someone with a sister who has no chance at all of having any meaningful relationship, so she has to cling onto her brothers and take on a more active role than she needs to. But hey...that's what I get for being with a nobody. Never again. I have really raised the bar this time. No more nobody's, nothing, wannabes, fakes, imposters, puesdo thugs, etc. I am so done with low-level men and their trifling families. They talk about Monster In Laws being the mothers...oh hell no...they should include sisters as well.

Enough about that. Finalizing the Superbowl menu, will be good. That is when we are having the Mexican feast. Also watching Royal Rumble tonight. Will be the first time in over 5 years that I've watched a WWE Pay Per View Event. I stopped ordering them because I was going into that "Wrestling Overload" thing I do. I'm sure when we are watching it tonight I will be like "Who Is that?" or "What happened to so and so?".

I got a surprise very late last night, L came over to visit for awhile. He was here until about 1am, brought everyone Italian Beefs. He remembers how I like mine, and it was perfect...wouldn't tell me where he got it from because he knows I will go and get one every single day!! The meat was so tender, it had just the right amount of Hot Peppers and Cheese. And it was dipped oh so well. That's how I like my Italian Beefs, dipped with cheese and hot peppers. It's a Chicago area thing. You may think it's gross....but trust me..when you try it...you will fall in love with it.

Well...I have to go. L is coming to pick us up today to take everyone to go see "One For The Money". I knew there was a reason I didn't go see it Friday when I was right there at the theater. Also going out to eat afterwards.

Will talk more later. Take Care and have a productive Sunday

OMG...Are You Serious?

2012-01-28T18:54:00.000-08:00

I got the shock of my life about an hour ago. Got a text message from L, told me that he was in town already. He knew that he was coming in early, but tricked me. Going out tommorrow. Has been a long time.

Watching the UFC fight. Rashad Evans and some other guy are fighting. I swear I thought this fight was over 2 rounds ago, but I guess not. The entire UFC show sucked major a**. I barely looked at it. I yawned more than anything.

Sitting up here laughing at the stupidity of some people. People and their lack of common sense really surprise me. I mean..really. If you know me personally, then you know I go by the code of "Karma Is A Bitch". I still stand by that...and Karma will be hitting VERY soon and when I say VERY soon....I mean VERY soon. LOL!! I'm glad that people take my quietness and kindness for weakness. But guess what...that is all over with. I am no longer that individual that people can just walk all over. If you bring drama to me, guess what...you are going to get it right back. Full force. No holds barred. I am not going to spare anyone's feelings or try to be civil about certain things and that Miss Thing In Willowbrook, yes...I'm talking to you. I heard the only reason you are doing what you are doing is because of what you think I did. However, if you think I really did that then you as a woman should have either come to me and talked to me or you would have handled it a different way. But since you want to act like a little girl. Guess what? I am going to treat you like the little (I'm putting that very lightly as those who really know you, know that you are not little at all). So you want to throw jabs...guess what sweetie...I'm throwing them right back at you. I hope you enjoy your little surprise sweetie. And when you wonder why it is happening, think back to what you have done. It is all because of what you did. Your actions are causing what is about to happen. So, put on your big girl panties (and I mean that literally) and get ready for a showdown. You wanted one, you got it.

And I can last much longer than you.

So, I hope you are reading this and realize the costly mistake that you just made. You know how to contact me, if you want this to stop, then you need to contact me and we can talk about it. If you don't then we can keep going and trust and believe me sweetheart...I will come out on top!!

And with that I'm gone.

Update

2012-01-28T12:08:00.000-08:00

Anybody wanting to see the links to the information about this trifling female that is a wretch on human society is more than welcome to email me at: teandreawatson@yahoo.com Some very interesting reading.

I'm glad that I have someone on my side, doing this for me. So I can focus on my child. While some people are a wretch on society, I'm glad that there are people who are more than happy to reveal some of these people for who they really are. My advice to people is to not let someone's skeletons out of the closet if you are sitting over there with three closet fulls of skeletons. Make sure you background is squeaky clean before you try to talk about someone else.

I will be looking forward to your emails. I am also on FB as: Andrea Watson

Teandrea Watson Morning Post. My decision!!

2012-01-28T06:40:00.001-08:00

Good Morning All,

After having a very good night's sleep and thinking about my situation very heavily. I have made a decision. That information that I have been holding on to WILL be released later on today. However, I will not be the one doing it. The person who passed the information onto me will be doing it. I have thought long and hard about it. Why should I allow someone to harass me the way this woman has and let her get away with it? She has shown some mentally unstable actions over the past month or two. And it is shown that she has had a psychological exam at least one time in her life. One that was ordered by the court. This woman is a complete danger to society and I think she is getting worse and worse. She seems very narcissistic, it's a wonder how she got that job. I WILL NOT post that information on here, however, when the person doing it is done getting it all together and uploaded online. A contact email address will be posted, where you will be able to contact her and given directions to the information where you can see for yourself.

That is all I have to say on the situation for now.

To Reveal Or Not Reveal???

2012-01-27T16:40:00.000-08:00

I have some interesting information on someone that has been a thorn in my side for the past three years. This person called herself (and yes, I know exactly who it is), exposing my past. Only thing, it was already out there and she added her own little spin onto things. She only did this to help bolster her brother's side of a domestic issue, but what has it done? Absolutely nothing. However, someone who was on the outside looking in on the situation did some digging up on her and found some very interesting things from her past. So, I'm struggling with the decision on rather or not I should publically release this information like this person did to me. Do I become as low-down, dirty, pyscho and downright trifling as her? Do I stoop to that level, even though I've held my head up high and remained on the high road? Do I just throw all of that away and seek revenge? Do I expose her for what she is? What would you do in this situation?

If you were in my personal situation and someone was committing ONLINE HARASSMENT/CYBER-STALKING (yes, it qualifies for that, i have checked with the legal system) against you in order to help one of their family members out in a legal case, and someone passed information onto you that could just smash her brother's side of the case? I mean, if you got ahold to some information like this and presented it to the judge, the judge would take a entirely new outlook on the case? What would you do if you were in my shoes? Would you take all precautions necessary to protect a child? What would you do if you knew this other female was looking for false information and possibly fabricating false information about you? What would you do?

This is the situation that I am in right now, I got some information and had it VERIFIED by a neutral third party....and now I'm like "Do I put it out there, or do I let the other side know I got this information and request an amicable change in our situation?". I don't know what to do. I do know that if this information was released, that it would in fact have this person (the female) fired or suspended from her job and it could mess up her own family dynamics.

The person who provided me with this information, has offered to post it on my behalf. And I'm seriously considering that. I will rest on this situation overnight, and when I make my first post in the morning, I will post my decision, as well as, provide a contact email so that you may be able to view the posted information.

Well, I am about to hang it up for the night.

Talk to you later

Busy, Busy, Busy!! Webcam

2012-01-26T16:35:00.000-08:00

Have to get cracking with work and the book. Have been seriously slackingon both this week. Have been tired.

Just tried the webcam on the pc for the first time. Pretty easy, just bring it up and record or take the pic. I'll be taking photos with it more often.

Brought a dozen donuts for everyone earlier today, ate one and was like "EWWW". They were Dunkin Donuts. Just didn't feel like eating it, but I did.

L called yesterday and let me know he'll be in town next weekend. Yeah!!! He'll be staying for a month, for businsess purposes.

Have a new addiction now. It's a site called Pinterest. You have to check it out. And trust me...once you do, you will be instantly hooked. You can request an invite or have someone who is already a member send you and invite. It's really addictive. LOL. But in a good way.

Well...about to go. Trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the night. Take care, until later.

Teandrea Watson

Been Taking it Easy!!

2012-01-24T15:55:00.000-08:00

Have been taking it easy the past few days. Been in kind of a mood. Lots of death around. Little sister of my oldest sons best friend passed away, then I find out that two little kids who live less than five minutes away passed away in a fire and then I just found out a few hours ago that a very nice man that works at the local library passed away on the 18th. I had no idea whatsoever that he had passed away. Until I went to pick up J from school and saw it in the announcement thingy outside, when I saw my oldest son and I asked him. He let me know that he had told me yesterday, but found it kind of odd that I didn't respond. Well...he had just told me about something else right before then, so I was still processing that when he told me about this man from the library.

I've also been getting in the mindframe for school. It starts in less than 2 weeks, my books are on their way, I can't wait to see them. I signed up for classes for the next semester. Getting the harder courses out of the way now. If I keep taking classes the way I am now, then I'll be graduating in May 2013. So post-secondary school is right around the corner. So excited.

That is all for now.

Teandrea Watson Friggin Funny Friday

2012-01-20T19:35:00.001-08:00

Okay,

I know the title sucks major a**, but it's late for me and that's all I can think of. Getting ready to have a 70's movie night...at least try to anyway.

I was checking one of my social network profiles and a friend posted this on there and I thought it was hilarious, so I decided that on Friday's I'd spend the day trying to make people laugh. This entire evening post is going to be full of funny things, so here goes:

MEN have 2 heads and WOMEN have 4 lips
The American Dental Association says semen cuts plaque and tartar by 77%. Suck a dick and save a smile...

•
If u have sex 365 times a yr and u melted down all da condoms 2 make a tire what would u call it?
a fuckin goodyear!

•
Sex is like playing spades. If u don't have a good partner, u better have a good hand.

Big Bad Wolf told lil red riding hood lift ur top so i can suck ur tits. no, she said while lifting her skirt, eat me like the fuckin book says!
•
A rooster and a cat were playing by the pool. the cat fell in and the rooster laughed. The cat said, a wet pussy always makes a cock happy!

I'm wondering if a man took a muscle relaxer and a Viagra would that man then be Gumby with a Pokey?

Roses are red, nuts are round, skirts are up, panties are down, belly to belly, skin to skin, when it is stiff, stick it in! (now that is a love poem)

The sticky sweetness hits my lips, I can feel it's hot and so creamy, it slides down my throat, Oh man that first sip of coffee in the morning is awesome!;)

Couldn't wait for this time,I lie in the bed,get in my favorite position reach for it and the batteries are DEAD!Now I have to get up and change the CHANNEL :)-

What does a G-spot, a woman's Birthday and a urinal have in common? Men seem to miss all three!

what did the egg say to the boiling water? It gunna take me a while to get hard because the chick over there just laid me

When it goes down, I scream. When it comes up, I lean backwards with pleasure. When it goes faster, I beg for more.Damn..gotta love roller coasters.

keep talking behind my back , its funny how you always think of me EVERY SINGLE F*KING DAY

Karma's gonna knock u down and I am gonna watch, point, and laugh

That's it for tonight, will try to post more of these tommorrow. Found a hilarious site full of them.

Good Night

Getting Ready For Authentic Mexican Feast Over Here!!! Teandrea Watson Afternoon Post

2012-01-20T12:11:00.000-08:00

I'm over here getting ready for an Authentic Mexican Feast Over Here!!! I think we are going to do it next week, or the week after that. We are going to actually make real Mexican food. Not half-assed Mexican food. But we are going to do the real thing!!! We normally half-ass our Mexican dishes here. But I am going all out. Even taking a trip into the city next week to buy what I need for authentic Mexican dishes. Not this fake crap at the local grocery store. But I'm going to a real Mexican grocery store and buying real cheese, real meat, real tortillas, real peppers, you name it.

I'll be taking photos of this, so everyone can see.

I think we are going to do Enchiladas (Chicken), Chile Rellenos (Spelling???) and probably Burritos or Fajitas. Fajitas are a regular in this house, so I might try to kick those up a notch.

Making Connections

2012-01-20T05:54:00.001-08:00

Making lots of connections business wise. Expanding into Nigeria, Singapore and looking at Fiji as well. Very excited. Hard work is paying off a lot. Very proud of my success and no one can take that away from me. Many have tried, few will succeed. Have to finish up one project today, lots of interest in it. Talking to the advertising folks today.

Father Phleger (however you spell it, not going to bother trying to correct it) is having an issue with the Bachelor show. He said he was channel surfing and he came upon it and was shocked. Come on now? That show has been on for how many years and he just now discovered it? Not believing it at all. Not one tiny bit. He says he feels it is degrading to women and is surprised that the National Organization of Women has not complained. The show has been on for 10 years. Every now and then he finds something to complain about. This is his newest "cause". Surprised as we haven't heard from him in quite some time.

Ran into someone yesterday that I hadn't seen since my birthday. This young lady was signing up people for one of those Child Welfare Agencies, I said okay. I really didn't think too much of it until I got a photo, followed by a letter and I just recently received another photo. It was so cute. One of those "I'm losing my teeth photos". I will try to post those photos shortly.

This just in..Iran is declaring war on Barbie. LOL!! Yeah...Google it and you will see the stories on this. Something about the Morality Police and them seeing Barbie as having a Western Influence on little girls. So they are supposedly coming out with a "Iranian" version of Barbie. I can't wait to see what this doll looks like.

Well...that is all for now. Will post more later on.

Teandrea Watson

Been A Long Time!!!

2012-01-19T18:05:00.000-08:00

At least I think it has. LOL!!!! Just been busy, working and relaxing. Last night...I was dead tired. Took a late nap and went to sleep right before 12:30 am.

Had a wonderful and productive day today. Got some really good news.

I'm eagerly awaiting this Drew Peterson movie. I am in no way condoning what he did, nor do I support him. I'm just a fan of Rob Lowe and based on the promos I've seen, it looks like it's going to be a very good movie.

Well..that's it for now. Not much to report. Have to go and look up recipes for our "Mexican Fiesta" that we are having.

Until Later

Cold!!! Teandrea Watson

2012-01-18T14:20:00.000-08:00

It's really cold out here. I can deal with the cold though, just not the snow. It's pretty and I like to look at it from a distance, but don't like walking in it, shoveling it or being within 100 miles of it. But the cold, I can deal with.

Supposed to get socked with another snow storm this weekend. Will see if it happens. Really couldn't care less. I like to stay in the house and relax. Watch movies...eat snacks...walk around in sweats and my Betty Boop slippers all day. Will probably get the opportunity to do that very thing this weekend. I don't know if any movies are coming on. Will have to check and see.

I'm sitting over here laughing because as much as I say I don't like a certain group of people and would never go out with one, they seem to flock to me. Now I'm at #2. This one is a nice one. Didn't even know he was what he was until I saw some pics and I was like "Oh S**T". But I like him and he just recently had a birthday and I told him that I'd celebrate a late birthday celebration with him. So it will be nice to go out with him. And before you start thinking "What happened to L?". L is still in the picture. I'm not dating anyone right now, just going out on dates. So until I devote myself to one person, then I'm free to date whoever and however many I want. If I want to go on 3 dates a day, 7 days a week...just as long as the babies are taken care of, that is all ANYONE needs to be concerned with.

I often get asked why I do as much as I do despite having kids and being HAPPILY SINGLE!! Who says I have to stay in the house all day and be a dull, boring mommie. Hell...I'm still very young. I'm not out every single night. Maybe once a week. ANd I'm very selective with who I hang out with. I'm also very selective of who I associate with online. For instance, I just bounced a family member (very distant) for them posting a pic that I totally DO NOT agree with. I don't condone what was in that picture at all. So that person had to go. I also made a statement that anyone that didn't like it could get to stepping as well.

I just discovered a really cool website called Pinterest. I see lots of cool photos on there. I'll post some of the pictures tommorrow. But here is one and it is of my dream closet. ANY woman would love to have this closet in her house. Here it is:

Ah-hah...don't you like it. You want it don't you? LOL!!! I plan on having this closet. And I will have so much fun filling it up.

Well...that's all for now. I have a busy day ahead of me tommorrow. Take care

Morning Post - Teandrea Watson

2012-01-17T06:18:00.000-08:00

Good morning everyone!!

Feeling very good this morning. Feeling very blessed. I've had not one but two cousins basically drop the same knowledge in less than 24 hours. Two totally different people in two totally different states. They both said the same thing. I really needed to hear what both of them said. I will post what they said shortly. But for now, you will have to wait!!! Hah-hah.

Going to try to finish up some of the projects today. Have a very low workload for the rest of the week. Have to make some business calls today. Very excited. GOING BIG THIS YEAR!!! I live by GO BIG...or GO HOME!!!

My Cousin Dropping Some Deep Knowledge!!!

2012-01-16T08:24:00.001-08:00

I can't exactly post what she said, but she dropped some very deep knowledge. I'm so proud of her. I remember when I was little and hated going over her house. But know, she's got so many things going on for herself and is so positive. Despite what people have said about her. That's my girl!!!

Teandrea Watson - My Evening Post

2012-01-15T19:22:00.001-08:00

Good evening everyone, the post below shows the full results from the 2012 UDA/UCA Collegiate Nationals. I haven't had the opportunity to view all of the routines, will do that after I post this.

So...what went on today?? Today was a very low key day. Watched my alltime favorite Joel Osteen this morning. Watched the Ravens beat the crap out of the Texans. Watched the Packers get their behinds handed to them on a silver platter by the Giants.

I also watched the finals of the Miss New York Teen USA & Miss New York USA pageant. It was hard picking a teen winner, my choice was 1st runner up. But the Miss division...I had that winner picked since last night. She had the most amazing evening gown. A white one shoulder dress, very sexy...but classy at the same time. I can't remember her name, but she was "Miss City of Dreams". I wonder how many other state pageants are going to have their pageants online. I'd like to see them.

Pretty cold outside today. Didn't even go out there. No need to!!

Finished some work today. The rest should be done tommorrow. Have to get the paperwork for the trademarks and LLC together. I want them ready to go out when it is time.

Well that is all for now. Take care.

Very Long Day!!! Good Sleep!!! Great Week Planned!!

2012-01-15T07:23:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was a very long day. Keeping track of the UCA/UDA coverage, watching two football games, a basketball game, the Miss New York Teen USA/Miss New York USA and Miss America pageant. I was flipping back and forth between several channels, checking two websites...just all over the place. Night finally ended at about midnight. Went straight to sleep and did not wake up until 8am. I got up did a mile on the bike, showered, cleaned up and here I am.

Awaiting the finals of the Miss New York Teen USA/Miss New York USA pageant. Will be broadcasted live online. Good idea. I saw lots of Miss USA quality ladies, and some that were not, but who am I to judge. At least they got on the stage and worked it. Teen Finals start at 2pm E.S.T and Miss Finals start at 7pm E.S.T. Excited and cannot wait to see who places and who wins.

Our team did not make it into the finals. Better luck next year. Saw the routines and I saw a lot of mistakes with timing and moves. But these girls are strong and will make it next year.

Patriots spanked Tebow's ass yesterday. Great game. Tebow didn't stand a chance against Brady and the Patriots. Saints played a good game, but it wasn't enough. They will be back next year.

Bull's won again...12-2. Do I smell championship? Yes!!!

Congrats to the new Miss America. I have to admit that she wasn't my original pick. I was aiming for either Florida or Illinois. After they were both knocked out of the competition, I was going for Oklahoma. But she was 1st runner up. Miss Wisconsin won the pageant. Congrats.

Well...off to do some work. Low work load this week. FINALLY!!!

See You Later

Not Much To Do Today!!!

2012-01-14T07:19:00.001-08:00

Going to a Miss America Viewing Party!!!! The first one I've ever been to, I've heard of them and have seen them, but this is the first time I'm ever going to one. I can't say who I'm rooting for as I've tried not to have a favorite going in like I normally do. But I have seen some prelim photos from talent and there are some pretty amazing talents this year. I will be live and posting as the pageant is on.

Also, a very special college team is competing at UDA Nationals today. I'm watching prelim videos today. I'm rooting for this team and will have a special surprise for them when they get back.

It's cold as hell today. 15 degrees...and that's not including the Wind Chill factor. You just have to love the Midwest in the winter. That's all for now. Going to bang out three more chapters for this book and decide on closing.

First Snow, now bitter cold

2012-01-13T06:26:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, we got smacked with some snow. Now the temps are dropping, they actually started dropping yesterday. Today, I didn't even look at the temp. Made it an unofficial "Snow Day" gor the kiddos.

Watching an old episode of The Sopranos. Toni and Adrianna just got into an accident and flipped Toni's truck. Hill Harper was Toni's E.R. doc. I bet people are going to suspect why they were together to begin with. LOL. I miss this show. I had just started getting into it when it ended. Oh well....thank God for A & E!!!

Well...that's all for right now. Got much work to do today.

Let It Snow!!

2012-01-12T13:30:00.000-08:00

Okay...I really don't consider this to be a snow storm. I've been through Chicago snow storms before and this is not it. This is minor.

Went outside and it is really something out there. Already waiting for the spring/summer to come. I am so not a winter person.

Well...took a little break from work. Time to get back to work.

See you later

Bulls & Feeling Much Better

2012-01-11T18:44:00.000-08:00

Watching the Bulls and some movie. Movie is good. Bulls are doing good. Up by 4 points. Will be a close game.

Feeling much better. Not 100%, but more like 98%. Got a cool text message today from L. He tried to make a rose and the words "Get Well Soon". The rose looked more like a dog than a flower!!! But it's the thought that counts.

I had 1 whole liter of water today. That big ass water bottle I brought the other day and put in the freezer, to take it out only to put it back in the freezer for about 7 days in a row is now empty. I actually drank it all today. Was not drinking any pop and there was no juice in here. Don't feel like drinking tea. Only one pack of Kool-Aid in the house, so that was a no go. So just buckled down and drank some water. It was nice and ice cold, swallowed a few pieces of ice and hurt my throat a bit, but hey....it felt good going down. On day 1 of no pop.

That's all for now!!

Bulls Win!!

2012-01-11T05:38:00.000-08:00

They are 9-2 now and have another game tonight. They are really packing them in. Have tons of work to do today, can't seem to put a dent in anything and lots of work is really due. Have a really cool idea. Going to plan it out first before I make a decision.

Finally got hair situation under control. Had to make a executive decision!!! LOL!!! Looking for a new salon. Like the one over in Lansing by the Walmart, but don't feel like driving all the way over there just for hair. Looks like one is opening up down the street, but no telling how long it's going to take. I saw them moving in dryer chairs a week or two ago. There are others in the area, but don't know about them. Looking for something a bit more UPSCALE and not "Hole In The Wall".

Feeling a bit under the weather right now. Started not feeling good last night, then got a little better. But now I'm just not feeling well at all. I don't stay sick for long, I'm thinking the Peach Cobbler I ate last night is not agreeing with me. It (the crust) was a bit on the buttery side.

L called me last night while I was going through my "thing". Said I sounded completely out of it. I think it was my blood sugar last night. I just felt so nauseated and weak. Was also very tired and kept nodding in and out of sleep. Then I ate some dinner and almost roulfed that up. Tried to drink Ginger Ale to settle stomach (or at least make me feel better), didn't even have the desire for that. I don't know. Maybe my stomach realized that I was going cold turkey on pop and junk food/snacks and go right into one hell of a diet plan. So it wanted to mess me up before I go cold turkey.

That's all for now. Have to get ready to head out for an hour. Will be back later.

Great Trainer!!! Great MOtivation!!!

2012-01-10T12:39:00.000-08:00

One of my FB friends posted a good question as her FB status. It was "What's one thing people don't know about you?". I answered it and told a little known fact about myself. For about an hour after that this woman and another of her friends (I'm not friends with the 2nd one), were encouraging me to do what I announced again. I told them how hesitant I was, but that I had been thinking about it everyday. The main woman was like my cheerleader saying "Do It!! Do It!!". The second one (who doesn't know me at all) said that if I do it, then she would do it as well. I'm really thinking about it right now. SERIOUSLY!!! Like doing research on it right now!!! LOL!!! I'm going to make my final decision later on today and will announce it on my FB page.

Good Morning

2012-01-10T05:51:00.000-08:00

Good Morning everyone!!

Not much to report this morning. Just going to do some much needed work. That's about it.

Bulls won again last night. I think they are 8-2 now.

Oh...and I can't believe I didn't post about it. But Beyonce FINALLY had the baby last Saturday. Blue Ivy Carter is here and the little diva has caused quite a stir already. Reports vary on what the parents did and didn't do when she arrrived. My guess is they did do it, their publicist said they didn't. But come on now. Do you honestly think Jay and Beyonce could/would have a baby on a regular L&D ward and not shut that place down? I don't know a celebrity of their caliber who hasn't done that. After reports that several parents complained about not getting access to their babies, a statement comes out that J & B DID NOT rent the entire floor of a hospital. Okay, whatever!!!

Don't get me wrong. I love both of them and have several of their songs on my I-Pod, but I get this "Beyonce Overload" thing every now and then. They (the media) will talk about her so much, all day everyday and it's like "Who the F**K cares?". Seriously...I shouted that out after hearing about the baby being born the 5th time yesterday. Seriously news people, EVERYONE knows about it now. DROP THE STORY!!! Drop the story about this child until she turns one and her parents throw some outrageous 1st birthday party or give her some outrageous gift that she can't enjoy. Cover that!!!

Just Wanted To Clear Something Up!!

2012-01-09T19:56:00.000-08:00

A few days ago, I think I published a post about the young men who were charged with the murder of Officer Lewis. I mentioned that one of them looked as if he had been beat up. I was going off a very blurry photo of the young man that was put on the news. I saw about two days ago while reading the story in the newspaper that it was in fact facial tattoos placed right under his eye, normally where a black eye would appear. I'm not saying that beatings by officers do not occur, but they did not in this case.

As you may have noticed I have changed the description on my blog and the "About Me" section. I have had that since 2009 and felt it was time for a change. With everything that I have gone through and continue to go through, there is a new me. I have surrounded myself with some beautiful and positive people who know all about my past. They know how and many of them have googled me. And what matters to them is the person that I was when I met them and the person that I am now. What happened to me recently was a result of my PAST that caught up to me. They don't care, they know my worth and know the real story of what happened. They know what i'm about now and that is really all that matters to them. They are some of the most diverse and wonderful people in the world.

Tommorrow starts the "Official Diet" start date. Going right into it. I've been lagging and I have to get in shape for Vegas. Less than a month away!!! I won't totally be in shape, but I will have lost some pounds by then. I've been working on an open letter to someone. That will be posted shortly. As I state often, there is a time and place for everything!!

Well, I'm off for the night. Have a busy day planned for myself. Lots of work to get out of the way. Signing off for the night.

So Transparent!!!!!!

2012-01-09T11:54:00.000-08:00

E is so transparent (not L, but E, two totally different people). E will text you and see how you are doing, ask questions then go right in for the sales pitch. This time, the texts were not about his usual subject, but buying something from him. I don't think I will buy it from him unless he gives me one hell of a deal. I'm talking like $5K off this "mid teen" thing. You want me to buy from you? I told you my limit, so drop the price down $5K and we can do business. Other than that, I'll be purchasing a vehicle from some other place that will give me a deal. i hope he doesn't think for one second that I am going into this blindly. I know how to haggle a price down. I'm not your average female car shopper. Trust me, I know the right time to go into a dealership. I will get the car I want for the price I want. If you can't/don't budge after my initial offering, guess what? I'll pick up and walk out and leave you saleless (is that a word) and have your GM wondering why you just dropped the ball on a major cash purchase. That's how I roll!! LOL!!! I do remember asking him if he wanted me to buy a car for safety issues or to come see him. Guess what he said? LOL...You guessed it right. So payback is a bitch. When it's all said and done, I'll walk out of there with a car for under $8K. Not a penny more or less!!!!

Trust me, my focus is on L right now. E messed up royally. It will never go that route again with him. This is strictly business. That's it, that's all!!! Been disrespected one too many times and I'm no longer standing for it. Not from him, not from ANYONE.

Forgot To Post About Crazy Dream!!

2012-01-09T08:15:00.000-08:00

I had a crazy dream last night. It wasn't weird, but it was crazy. i'm in this white dress, sort of like a summer type dress. Really pretty. I'm dressed for a wedding (my wedding). I have all these weird people around me, I don't know them that's why I say they are weird. I'm looking at these people like "Who the hell are you?". I have one man in a white suit on my left holding my hand and talking to the guy on my right who is wearing a nice designer suit and holding my right hand. I have a woman walking in front of me but off to my right and a guy with a African accent in front of me but to my left.

We walk to this area and I sit down. Then the guy on my left in the white suit starts talking to me about "OUR WEDDING". I'm like "WTF" at first, but then I'm like "Okay, let's do this!!". Who was this mysterious guy? Hah-hah...that's for me to know and for you to find out. LOL!!! No actually, it was L. Weird dream, but kind of cool in a way. Would I marry him? Like I said...he lives south and I'm up here in the north, so unless my personal circumstances change or he moves up here...I don't see it happening.

Back to full time work I go!!

2012-01-09T07:19:00.001-08:00

Putting myself back on a full time work schedule. Really need to keep myself busy. An idle mind is the devils playground!!! LOL!!!

Just half-way messed up another pair of head phones. I had the I-Pod in my jacket pocket and got up to see who was knocking on the door (Expecting interesting packet from Fed Ex) and when I got up, the ear bud that wasn't in my ear (as it doesn't work) got snagged on the chair and the entire wire for that ear bud snagged and is now somewhere in this place. Not going to look for it as in about another two weeks or so, I'm going to invest in some Skull Candy's or Dr. Dre Beats whatever they are called. I just tested out a pair of Skull Candy's and I like them. Probably will get both and have one for inside and one for outside. Whenever I have to travel into the city I like to listen to music and I just loaded up more music on the I-Pod. Still not quite finished yet.

Getting excited about school. Was just told by someone that I should have picked something easy to major in. Yeah right. Just because you took the easy road to school and DIDN'T finish, doesn't mean that I will.

Well back to work I go, have to re-do a html form.

Talk to you all later

Information About Competitive Cheer & Dance Program

2012-01-08T09:53:00.000-08:00

We are finishing up the final steps in re-launching this program. It has been a long time coming. But it is definately needed. Last step is to go over the uniform selections. We picked something, but just wasn't up to the standards and image we are trying to put out there. So more information coming shortly.

2 Suspects Charged, Vegas, Etc

2012-01-08T06:45:00.000-08:00

Two suspects have been charged with the murder of CPD Officer Lewis (refer to past posts in the last couple of days about a officer who was killed). They are looking for at least one more. I'm happy for this. Glad they got/are getting swift justice. However, it appears that one of the suspects has two black eyes. Did he get them before he was caught or after? I do know that police emotions are riding high right now, they are all brothers, so if you hurt one of their's, then they will hurt you. I just hope the CPD did not do this. If they did, they may as well overturn the conviction now, because those two black eyes will suggest "FORCED CONFESSION". I can understand their emotions, trust me, I'd like dot about 40 pairs of eyes right now. But things have to be done the right way. There is a time and place for everything. If these are the right suspects, trust me, there is a special place in hell for them.

As for Vegas, I don't know what happened to the post I made last night about Vegas. I don't even see it in the drafts. But oh well, Vegas is all but squared away. I'm taking my baby sis for her 21st birthday. I have a very special surprise planned for her. It's already booked. I'm looking forward to what happens after the surprise she is going to get. Hah-hah. I will be posting pictures of that. She is going to enjoy what I have planned for her crazy ass. That's my heart right there. All my brothers and sisters are. I'm very protective over all of them. They are like my children. And everyone knows how protective I am over my children. You mess with my children, you have a huge problem on your hands. You do anything to hurt my children in any way, I'm like a "Crazed Mama Bear". But we will have a good time in Vegas. Planning an extra special something for her. I'm getting as excited as she is.

Also, have been asked by my baby brother to edit his book. I'm really excited about it. I read part of the 1st chapter and it's a good book. I can't wait to see the finished product. I have an offer for 10 free copies of my 1st novel, email me at: teandrea@drwinternationalllc.com if you would like a copy. I have a few left, not many of the original 10. They are going on a first come, first serve basis. I will offer discounts for the first 100 copies that will be sold. After that, you have to pay full price, which will be under $20.00.

Well...about to get going with some work now. Have way too much to do today. Getting behind and that's not good. See you later.

Weird Dream!!

2012-01-07T06:52:00.000-08:00

Good Morning Everyone,

Hope your day is a good and productive one. I know my day will be. Lots of work planned.

Had a weird dream last night or this morning. I dreamt that I was a part of some bicycling family that was bicycling from Florida to Hawaii. Only Hawaii wasn't west, it was north. When we got to the Chicago area, the "leader" once he was asked if he knew which direction we were going, he pointed to three buses that were taking off and said "I know those go to Hawaii, so we'll follow those!". Only thing the buses had taken off and we were still sitting there on our bikes. This family/group of people were something like the Duggars. Only with more people (kids, aunts, uncle, etc). I don't know. I did eat something weird before going to sleep. They say if you eat something weird before you go to sleep, you'll have weird dreams. Sometimes it happens to me and sometimes it doesn't.

Well...that's my morning post for now. See you in a few hours.

Ah-hah!!!

2012-01-06T16:33:00.001-08:00

It all make sense now. Just discovered something. Didn't put two and two together when it first happened. But just read something and there it is. Right in my face. No wonder. Now I see why it was when someone said "Jump"...the other person said "How High?". ROFLMAO over here. Seriously!! As I sit back and be quiet and open my eyes and ears more, so much is becoming clearer to me now. Can't wait for the other shoe to drop. Going to sit back and watch her reaction then. Wonder why that person was acting as a family member when she wasn't? Never really know.

Anywho. Just putting the finishing touches on my 101 in 1001 days list. Already working on it. It's a really cool idea. Will post the link to the blog once I get all the ideas organized into categories.

Can't believe I haven't posted often in the last couple of days. Losing my "posting joy"?? No, not really.

IDOC just released J.R from prison. Was tried and convicted on a murder three times before Lake County States Attorney decided not to pursue a 4th trial. J.R was yet another victim of a false confession. Hmmmmm....where do I know about that from? I've heard that so many times before. Not saying that I don't believe him. I 100% believe him. I just know so many people who are/have been incarcerated due to "OVER ZEALOUS" officers of the law who just want to boost whatever it is so they can get promotions. MOST states attorney's just want their CONVICTION rates to go high and they do it BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Refocused my direction on the book. Was looking for some important info and saw a previous book I had been working on. I had a good four pages written and got it and started to type and BAM. I'm not at 7 chapters. I haven't looked at the word count. I have to do that later. But the "Kharma" book is on the shelf for another month or two. But this good one is going first. Just have to work on the cover.

Good Evening!!

2012-01-05T18:30:00.000-08:00

Wow...I can't believe I only did one post today. I'm normally like a 3 or 4 post a day person. But today has been one of the "BUSY, BUSY, BUSY" days. Working full time preparing taxes for people. Then doing the graphic design thing. Then on top of that, trying to get ready for school, launch other businesses, etc. I could post a list of 1 million things I have to do right now. Have to get more organized.

Of course, as I figured. The funeral of the CPD Officer WAS NOT televised as the one I saw back in 2009. I don't know if it was a family decision or not. But it was not televised as other CPD funerals had been.

I am watching the Braxton's show. I love Tamar to death. I also like the one married to Gabe, can't remember if it's Traci or Trina. The bigger one reminds me of Queen Latifah. Toni...enough said. Something about her that isn't quite right with me. Towanda....eeegghhhh...okay!! I'll be nice.

Getting ready for school. Have Open House on the 10th!! Excited. One of my Professors is running some kind of race in Florida.

Saw something about Casey Anthony coming out with a video. Then saying it was "Accidently Leaked". That someone stole it. YEAH RIGHT!!! Okay!!

Tried the Smokey Eye thing today. Came out good. I used shades of purple. I like it. Not taking a pic until tommorrow.

Funny thing happened the other day. I got asked if the "twins" were real!!! Yes, I was asked that. I guess they were sitting up pretty high the other day. I was initially asked if I had any kids. When I responded with a yes and the number of kids. The eyes went directly to the "twins". Then I was asked if I had the "Mommy Makeover". Ummm....no!!!! If I had a "Mommy Makeover"...I'd be walking around with low rise jeans and belly tops all day everyday!!! I'm just fortunate to have a set of nice and NATURALLY BIG "twins". I was at the point where I was going to pay for some. But thankfully I did not have to go that route.

Well...off to do some work for about another hour or so!!! Getting tired. Will be an easy day tommorrow. Not going to do too much work. I think I already pulled a 60 hour week and it's only Thursday!!! SHeesh!!!

Good Morning

2012-01-05T06:36:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to say "Good Morning". It's kind of a slow morning for me. Just "browsing" until 9am (22 minutes from the time I'm starting this post), then i'm going to get into some serious work. Falling behind. Gotta catch up. One site is almost completely done. Will try to bang out another four today.

The funeral for the officer is being held today. I stil have not caught his name. But his funeral is today. I wonder if it's going to be on tv like the last police funeral I watched on tv. There was one where they basically shut down all of television and showed the beginning and end of his funeral. They also had microphones on the inside of the church. I want to see if they'll do the same for this one. As far as the pomp & circumstances I mean. They are shutting down Roosevelt Road,not sure where they are shutting it down at. But they are. Will report more on that later.

Now officially a Marlin's fan. Cubs traded Zambrano yesterday to the Marlin's. Epstein said he wouldn't. But he did. Zambrano was the last piece of the puzzle for me as far as liking the Cubs. After they got rid of Sosa...then Ramirez...and failed to get David Ortiz or Albert Pujols...I was like "It's a rap. If they trade Zeke...I'm gone!!!" And they did, so I'm gone. Only time you'll see me at Wrigley Field is for a Cubs/Marlins game, where I'll proudly wear my new Zambrano Marlin's jersey!!! Matter of fact, I'm going to buy one and take a picture and use as my FB profile pic. LOL!!! M.R called me a traitor last night, I told her "At least I didn't say I was going to be a Cardinel's fan??" Now that is a TRAITOR.

One More Morning Thing!!

2012-01-04T09:01:00.000-08:00

I often get asked who I'll be voting for when the presidential election rolls back around. I can say who I WON"T be voting for. And you can guess who it is!!! I don't have to mention his name. I can't/won't stand by someone who openly supports someone whose main purpose in life is to destroy/break up HEALTHY/STRONG families. I'm liking Mitt Romney. Hope he gets the Presidential nomination for the Republican party. Am I Republican? Not currently registered, but like many of their ideas/views.

Today's Morning Post Is About Haters, Karma & Respect/Love!!

2012-01-04T08:26:00.001-08:00

Just wanted to make this mornings post about Haters, Karma and Respect. If you notice the pictures above reflect how I truly feel.

#1: I know people talk about me behind my back. Do I care? No. One thing for damn sure is they are never bold enough to tell me these things to my face. I'm not a hard person to find. Hell, if people who have something against me email me, I'll tell them where I'll be so they can tell me to my face. See...it's one thing to be BIG, BAD & BOLD behind a computer screen. You can do that all you want. People are the biggest, baddest and boldest bitch behind the screen...but they will NEVER confront a person. If anyone has anything to say to me, I still live in the Chicago area. I am NOT a hard person to find. Say what you have to say to me in my face, or keep being the little snivering b***h that you are.

#2 Karma: I'm a firm believer in karma. I used to be the type of person that once I was disrespected by someone, rather it be family, friends or complete strangers...I would immediately respond. It could have been something as simple as just saying something wrong or something as major as doing something to harm me/my family...via it being spreading FALSE rumors/lies to authorities. But now, if I just sit back, quietly observe and not say anything....KARMA always gets those who harm me. If I also handle things the right way instead of the wrong way. I always get what I want in the end. Regardless of the situation. People like to lie to get what they want, that's okay. Because sooner or later, those lies eventually catch up with you and bite you in your a**.

#3 Respect: I don't care if a person doesn't love me or like me, but they will respect me. I love the song "Bossy" by Kelis. The first few lines of the song are "You don't have to love me, you don't even have to like me, but you will respect me!". I'm like that all around. I don't care if a person hates my guts to no end. Are you mad because despite my situation, I'm still better than you? Fine...be mad...but respect me. Are you mad because I called you out on a certain situation online? Fine...be mad...but respect me. Respect me and I'll respect you back. Get out of line with me, and I will pull that BITCH card out. I'm not one for drama, but you are not going to disrepect me in any manner....

Until later!!!

Let's Go Bulls!!!

2012-01-03T19:55:00.000-08:00

Bulls pull off yet another sweet victory. As always Derrick Rose came to the rescue. The Bulls were as far down as 19 points. I go in to take a shower and come back and the game is over and the Bull's pulled off another victory. I smell another Championship. It would be great if they did. This city is due for another Championship and they came so close last year. Will be praying for them.

Also, I smell another Championship coming to this city very soon. I'm not going to jinx this team. But I smell another championship. It would be great for this team to do it and go up against some good teams. Looking at the listing. I only see one maybe two teams that are tough to go up against. But we shall see.

Saw a really good movie today. 50 Cent starred in a movie, I think the name is "All Things Fall Apart". You should really see it. Very inspiring. I don't exactly know how it ends, and I won't spoil it for you if you haven't seen it. But you REALLY should go and rent this movie. If you have Comcast, then you should do a search for it and look at it. It came on today and I saw it on the other day. It is a must see.

Well, I'm gone for the night. Take care.

21!!!

2012-01-03T08:59:00.000-08:00

21!!! That's the magical number!!! What's so magical about it? That's the number of sites that have to be built. 21!!! LUCKY ME!!!

Off to start work on the first one. Had to finish the graphics for the first one. Be back later.

Working On HTML Coding & Novel

2012-01-03T06:56:00.000-08:00

Today I'll be working on HTML coding and design. As much as I think I'm very well versed in HTML coding, there are still some codes out there that are a bit difficult to remember/understand, so I'll be working on that and designing today.

I'll also be working on the novel today. My challenger told me she was over 14,000 words as of last night. So I have to make sure that I am over her word total by the time I speak to her tonight.

That is all for now. Busy day of work ahead of me.

Take care!!

Busy & Long Day!!

2012-01-02T22:38:00.001-08:00

It has been a long, and HARD day. LOL!!! Got a lot of work accomplished. Did a few graphic jobs for people. Mostly easy work. Did some trademark work as well. Wasn't needed until the end of next month, but I thought I'd get started on it. Should be pretty easy.

Loved tonights episode of Love & Hip-Hop. If you haven't watched it yet, DO NOT read this, as I am about to tell what happened. Last week when I saw the preview of this weeks episode, when I saw Jim walk into the restaurant where Chrissy was, I just knew that he was getting ready to propose. He wouldn't have gone all the way from New Jersey to Miami just to talk. I was so happy when they got engaged. Glad for them. Also seems like next week Chrissy and Yandy are going to get into it. Always something.

Got a nice call from L today. Was working and it was getting hard. But he put me at ease. Asked me what the issue was and helped me work it out. It was regarding the book. Was stuck for some ideas and he gave me one. I guess I have to give him some credit now?? LOL!!! I'll throw him a shoutout.

Book with my son will be started in a few weeks. Going to hire an illustrator for that one. It's a cool children's book. He's going to get 100% of the publishing credits. I want this to be his book. I'll post more about that later.

Took a picture of the moon and Jupiter today. M.C said it was visible and walked right to the front window and saw it. Took a pic through the window figured it would come out good. I ended up going outside, IT'S COLD AS HELL out there!!! Sheesh!!! Forgot how cold it could get here. But I'm a MIDWEST GIRL FOR LIFE!!! I live for the cold weather. Just wish it wasn't so cold.

Well, I'm about to hang it up for the night. Literally. It's been a long day. Take care & Be Blessed!!!

About Damn Time!!!

2012-01-02T15:50:00.000-08:00

I've been reading Janet Evanovich books for about three years now. I'm up to #12 in her Stephanie Plum series and always talked with other fans of her about how if they made a movie, who should play what character. I had either Debra Messing or Drew Barrymore for Stephanie, Mike The Situation for Morrelli, Betty White for Grandma Mazur, and The Rock for Ranger. Well....just saw the promo for the movie on tv and the first book in the series has been made into a movie. One for The Money comes out January 27th. I will be going to see it, don't know about that weekend. Probably that Friday if I do, but early in the day.

All I could think about was "ABOUT DAMN TIME". They have Katherine Heigl playing Stephanie and Cloris Leachman playing Grandma Mazur (I think it's Cloris). I do think Betty White would have been better, but we shall see on the 27th!!!

Made a Good Luck Banner for the dance team at my son's school. They are going to nationals. Wishing them the best of luck. Personally talked to the coach and things should go really well.

Good Morning

2012-01-02T05:08:00.000-08:00

Today is day #1 of the challenge between me and my aunt. She knows I've been lagging on the writing, so she issued a challenge to me. She said that we have to write a minimum of 2,000 words a day. We can go as high as we want, but it has to be at least 2,000 words per day. I accepted the challenge and now I'm getting ready to write. I know I said I wasn't going to post until the afternoon, but I'd rather do a morning post and then work on the writing, instead of writing and thinking about a good morning post and getting distracted.

We got some snow last night or this morning. Who knows? It isn't much. But it stuck. People out here are panicking, saying "If you don't have to be out, don't go out!!". Come on now, this is Illinois. We are used to a little dusting of snow. Why are some news reporters acting like it's 3 feet of snow outside? Some people...mainly the various news reporters are acting like people in California when they hear the word snow in the news. Some people in California start to panic. It isn't that friggin serious. Get a grip on it!!! It's just a dusting. If you are panicking over this little snow, what are you going to do if it really snows like it can here?

Got a little early morning text from L this morning. He knew I had to be up at 5:30 this morning to take care of some business. And when I talked to him last night, it was going on 12 midnight, so he told me to go to sleep. The last part of our conversation centered on me finding the channel where they show old tv shows like Barney Miller, The Honeymooners, etc. He remembers when we used to go to Vegas and it'd be like 3am and I'm so tired of the casino thing and I'd find old tv shows and would just zone out. So he knew that I was still up at 1am when he called me again. Told me to go to sleep, I did and got a wake up text from him. I'm glad, because I was dead to the world. I looked at my phone and was like "What is this?"...as in "What is this thing in my hand?" That's how hard I was sleeping, because normally the phone is one of the first things I grab in the morning.

Entered the HGTV Dream Home 2012 contest. Beautiful home in Park City, Utah is up for grabs, a jeep of some sort and $50,000 cash. I'm in it for the cash. I'd sell the home like others do these dream homes, pay off whatever taxes and chill with the rest of the money. I'd sell that jeep too. It's for more of a rugged terrain and I'm not in a rugged terrain area. Never will move to that type of area. So if I win, the house and jeep will be up for sale ASAP!!!

Just took a break and did a mile and a half on the bike. Was going to run through the entire 5 miles at one time, but it's been a minute and want to ease back into it. Will do another mile and half or two miles in a few hours. Then finish up with 5 miles per day, 5 days per week.

Well, that's all for now. Off to go and write. Have another idea for another novel!!! I have about 5 novel ideas floating around in my head. This is going to be a posperous year.

Last Post of the Night

2012-01-01T20:38:00.001-08:00

The Bulls game was very interesting. They won by about 40 points. I hope they play like this when I go see them in a few weeks.

Got a text from E today. Haven't heard from him in a few days. Of course the conversation led to "Weight". I told him about my plans and he goes "What is the weight class for that?". I asked him what he meant and he said that the ones he's seen seem to have a certain "Weight Class". What the hell?

Maybe in his culture, women are supposed to be stick thin. But not in mine. I'm still in a size 14 pants. A regular size 14...not stretch...and not wide. So what the hell?? I think he is obessed with weight and that's one of the reasons why I won't be with him. I will NOT deal with the constant "Weight/Diet/Exercise" thing. I swear I'd eat a big plate of Chilli Cheese Fries right in front of him and follow it up with a Twinky and a 2 Liter Sierra Mist. He is the type of man that would go to Wendy's and get a grilled chicken sandwich on a bun. NO CONDIMENTS. Maybe lettuce, but that's it. When I go...I want the whole hookup!! And it won't be grilled. It'll be fried. With mayo and ketchup. Lettuce and tomatoes!!

I don't know. This man thing is confusing. Not trying to get into anything right now. But I'm not going to shut anyone down. If "MR. RIGHT" and not "MR. RIGHT NOW" comes along, then hey...I'm going to take it slow. L seems like a good candidate, but L is in a warm climate state and I'm not and I don't see myself moving to a warm climate state any time soon. Now if he moves up here, that's a different thing. But I'm getting way ahead of myself right now.

Just noticed that the village lit up the New Years sign they put up a few weeks ago. It's a pretty combo of purple and blue and say's "Happy New Year 2012". I'm trying to upload a pic, but for some reason I'm not able to upload certain photos with this Android. Saying that some of them are too big. I also have a very cool video of my baby rocking out to Jingle Bells!!! Have to post that as well.

Oh...and I finally remembered what show I was watching a marathon of last night. It was Mob Wives. Don't know why I couldn't remember it.

Well...that is all for tonight.

Will see you sometime tommorrow afternoon. Lots of work to do in the morning.

Until then.

Happy New Year!!

2012-01-01T13:45:00.000-08:00

Last night was the first time in years that I actually was up when the New Year came in. Normally, I'm out by 11pm. But last night I was up watching some sort of marathon on tv. I forget what it was, but I saw most episodes that I missed. It was one of those reality tv shows. I'll remember sooner or later.

Dog went a little crazy last night when the New Year came in. Was barking like crazy. Was a bit traumatized this morning!!! LOL!!! I guess it was too much noise for him.

Hair is done. Will post pics later. Too tired right now. Have been up since 8am. 2012 is going to be a good year. A year of suprises for lots of people!!! I cannot wait.

Waiting to hear back from two people on two different subjects. I'm really excited about one of them. Keeping my fingers crossed. Really great opportunity.

L sent me a text at exactly 12 midnight, saying "Happy New Year". I thought it was really nice of him. Talked to him for a bit today. Confirmed the dates he was going to be here. Now wants to go to a Bulls game. Will be nice to sit where I can actually see the players and not up in section 200 something. Dinner at a nice place afterwards. Some of his friends are coming as well.

On the entertainment forefront...

Did she or didn't she? I'm not really keeping up with the whole Beyonce giving birth thing. So did she have the baby or no? I read that the baby is a girl and her name is Tiana May Carter. Don't know. Not going to stalk the news and find out.

Lebron is FINALLY marrying his "Baby mama". They got engaged the other day (last night I think). About time. But she had that on lock since High School. Neither one of them was going anywhere.

Brian Urlacher is hurt. Knee injury. Not sure how bad it is. But doesn't matter. Today was the last game for the Bears. No playoffs. Looking for another team to support for the rest of the season.

I think that is it for now. Haven't been up to much today. Getting ready to enjoy some BBQ. Yes, someone is doing BBQ in this cold a** weather. Everyone who went out said it was cold. Hence me dressing in layers as we speak. Not even trying to get cold out there.

Well...I am about to go for now. Will talk to you all later. Trying to post a very funny video on FB. Have been trying since yesterday. Don't know why phone is not letting it upload to FB. Maybe too big?? I don't know.

Until later

Happy New Year!! Hair and Other Exciting News!!

2011-12-31T15:21:00.001-08:00

Just wanted to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year to everyone out there. It's been a long and trying year, but it is FINALLY over. Nothing but goodness is up ahead for me. I hope everyone reading has nothing but good things planned for themselves.

Hair is partially done. Got a really late start at the shop today. Couldn't help it. But since it's getting late and I have this MAJOR phobia against "Bullets with no name on them". I told her to lets just wrap it up and continue another day. It gets dark pretty early here. And I wanted to get back in the house before then. So, pictures probably tommorrow or Monday morning.

Got a double dose of exciting news. I was thinking about doing something this year, but it was too close to get prepared for it correctly. I'm glad to have found out that it has been pushed back and I can and WILL now be doing it. Sorry, but you have to be a FB friend or be allowed to read my Private Blog to know what it is. I'm not going to take a chance on having it snatched from me because of jealous people.

The other news is just too special to share right now. Don't want to jinx it. But keep your fingers and toes, and for some of you...your eyes...crossed.

Well, about to get the rest of the food ready for the party. Nothing major. Just snack foods, Super Nachos, Burritos, things like that. I am glad I got my Sriracha Sauce and Jalapeno Peppers!!!

Enjoy your New Year!!

Hair Not Done!! Good News!!

2011-12-30T17:41:00.000-08:00

I got some good news regarding a potential pageant. They sent me information regarding their upcoming event. I am seriously considering doing it. Fun event, fun location. Will post more information shortly.

Hair is not done yet. Turns out the process is so much longer than what I thought it was. In all, it's a five step process and so far I've only done three, the other two steps will be done tommorrow. I had something very important to do at 5pm today, so we had to cut it short. In a happy place right now. I suggest other people find their happy place.

Oh, and my sister Monica is in the hospital. Not feeling so well. I'm not going to put her business on here, as if you aren't on her FB page, then you obviously don't need to know. But this is for my sis:

That has been my sister for over 4 years now. We were pregnant at the same time and she is cool as hell. So sending my thoughts and prayers out to my sis Monica. Love you and Get Well Soon!!!

Also, I noticed something strange. I won't say what. But I am noticing it. I'm not as "Simple" as people think I am. I sit back and observe and right now I'm observing some sneaky, sneaky stuff going on. These people don't seem to think I know what's going on, but I do. I am well aware of what's going on and before they think they are going to pull something, I'll pull it before them.

On another note, I received an email from an old friend today. It was nice to hear from him. He is a really good friend to me. Said that he'll be in the area in about 2 or 3 weeks and wants to hang out. Cool. He is such a fun guy to be around. Doesn't ask for anything, don't know why he's not married yet. Somebody dropped the ball on this one. Plays
PROFESSIONAL sports. Well liked in the community, has interests outside of his sport. Not into the "lifestyle" that a pro-athlete is normally into or said to be into. Will be nice to hang out with him.

Well...that's all for now.

Good Morning!!

2011-12-30T07:23:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to say good morning to everyone. Hair is being done today. May add one photo on here. Not sure of that yet. Here are some pictures to make your day a little brighter.

I'm so done with all the petty drama, regardless of who it comes from. I'm going to keep a big smile on my face, because I know my worth. Killing them with kidness.

And with that said!!!

Wayyyyyyyyyy Off Base!!!

2011-12-29T20:26:00.000-08:00

Before I get into the last post on this blog for the night, I want to send my condolensces (spelling???) to the off duty Chicago Police Officer who was fatally shot a few hours ago. I haven't been able to catch the story on the news, but he was working at some store on the West Side of Chicago and was trying to stop a robbery and was shot with his own gun. My prayers go out to his family.

Now on to the last post for the night.

My intent for this blog is not to go back and forth with immature people. I know what I am and what I have done and I know that I've handled that situation. I can't help how some people feel they need to make people look like "Spawns of Satan", when she is "Satan's Top Dog". But let her do what she feels she needs to do. Maybe it's making her feel better about herself. But I am no longer letting her or them get to me. I know my worth and my importance. I know how I want to react right now and if you know the old me, you know what I want to do and how I want to do it. But now is not the time for it. I have goals set for myself and reacting the way I want to will surely destroy those goals. And with that said....I will NO LONGER pay attention to meaningless people. If you aren't about positivity, please stay as far away from me as humanely possible.

The "Pro Blog" that I talked about awhile ago is going to launch 1/1/2012. I found the template for it. I'm going to try to tweak the template a bit. But it's so perfect for what I want to do. I don't like the colors all that much, nor the graphic, but I will have to really work on the template before I officially launch it.

The book (first one) is coming along really well. I'm networking with some top names in the industry and I'm getting really excited about it. I smell a New York Times Best Seller over here!!! I've already started plotting the third book. That one is going to be a good one.

Well...I'm gone for the night. Going to go and work on the template. Hope this won't be too hard. Not feeling lots of work right now.

Goodnight

Love & Hip-Hop and Other Reality Shows

2011-12-29T13:02:00.000-08:00

Watching the last season of Love & Hip-Hop. They are apparently showing a marathon of the current season and the last season. I have come to love not only this show, but T.I. & Tiny, Basketball Wives L.A and Mob Wives. Oh...and I can't forget Real Housewives of New Jersey and Atlanta.

Right now they are showing the episode in which Chrissy is going to propose to Jimmy. You have to love Jimmy (Jim Jones for the Hip-Hop Illiterate). He has this cool, laid back swag....but he also looks like he'll snap your neck in a minute if you cross him. Not saying that's how he is, but that's what I'm getting from him. He seems cool. I was watching the show with a friend and he asked if I found Jim Jones attractive. I said yes, but I would be hesitant to go out with him (if he were available). Why? I don't live the lifestyle he seems to live...this is based on what I see from the show. Maybe he's differen in person, I don't know.

Also uploading the book info to the publisher. Got the cover uploaded, working on the sales description info right now. Already have the copyright on the book and also have the ISBN number. So it's just about ready to go to print. Excited about that.

Also, I mentioned about the "Blonde Hair, Smokey Eye" thing I was supposed to be doing. I'm still going to do it. It may be sometime over the next week or so. Have everything I need to get it done. Just have to go and do it. I know, I keep putting it off, but it's coming. Had some roadblocks, but it is going to be done really soon.

Hair!! House!!! And More!!!

2011-12-29T09:24:00.000-08:00

Getting the website ready and should be launching very shortly. Lot more work than I thought it would be. Lots more graphics to make. Going to be a busy next couple of hours. Taking a lunch break now.

Working on advertising, etc. Lots of work...getting tired already.

As for Miss. Mimi K SIngleton...did you actually think I was going to allow those comments. No, I wasn't. I said nothing to you or about you in 24 hours. So why wait until this morning to try to post your comments on my blog. You can think whatever you want about me. As can others. Not scared or concerned with it at all.

Getting ready for the New Year's party. Lots of fun planned. Probably will post pics. Not sure.

Do I look/seem like Casual Chic to you?

2011-12-28T14:58:00.000-08:00

Nope...but apparently that's the type of house I should have built. I just took an online "What house style are you?" quiz. It was suggested because I have no idea what I'm looking for in terms of house. Since everything I love is taken off the market, I've been strongly considering building from the ground up. It says that I have characteristics from more than one style or maybe from all of them. LOL!!! I guess that's that ADD kicking in!! So indecisive about everything. It tells me to look at: Silestone Countertops, Natural Hardwood Floors, White Cabinets, Wrought Iron Faucets and Whirlpool Spa Bathtub. That's not really what I wanted. I was thinking Granite countertops (not sure if Silestone is the same thing..as I've never heard of it), the hardwood floors are the only thing I agree with, as for cabinets...I want dark Cherry wood cabinets, as for faucets...doesn't really matter...all I'm using it for is wash face, dishes and brush teeth and I can certainly dig the Whirlpool Spa bathtub!!!

Looking further into this site...it tells me that I am drawn to the dreamy and romantic!! We all know romance is not in my future right now!! My home is supposed to be casual and comfortable (I agree), soft and cozy, bright and airy. It says I love painted furniture (white of course) WRONG!!! I have kids...I need nothing white in my home!! That's a magnet for spilled juice or some body fluid that will not come out!!!! It says I'm supposed to be into Fresh Colors. China. Candles. Crystal...treasures that make me happy. I can understand that. On some points, this quiz got me and other points it was so way off base. Talking with someone who just went through the building from the ground up experience. She has a lovely home down in Texas.

I'm now looking at another well known builder in my area. I'm also filling out the financing for other builders as well. We will see how this turns out.

Oh..for those of you who inquired as to when my first book will come out. It will come out in late February early March 2012. I'm finishing up everything right now. I'll post a link here when it's available for purchase!!

Ooohhh!!

2011-12-28T11:23:00.001-08:00

As if I really care. The group was not designed to help find this little girl. It was there for a bunch (NOT ALL) of bitches to get together and bitch/cackle. I don't know how many in the group actually put up or made banners for this little girl. I don't know how many actually went out and joined a legitimate search party for this girl. I don't know and as of right now, I no longer care.

I can no longer stand by and support their efforts. I do wish Jhessye a safe return rather it is alive or dead. But I can't support a family who sat there and watch this child being abused. They had to have saw something. A bruise...the way she acted. Something. But because the child's mother was a family member. They chose not to say anything.

My comments in that group were to the family who sat by and DID NOTHING. Not those who took care of her. Those comments also were geared towards those who were more concerned with who said what about them on Facebook, rather than spending that time going out and looking for this girl.

So, I'm done with that situation. I wish them the best of luck. I will not follow that story anymore. I'm DONE!!!

I will however focus my efforts and help on helping to spread the word about other missing children. I'm still working on the site and will post the link here later today.

Oh...I Forget!!!!

2011-12-28T06:49:00.001-08:00

I've been so busy working the last few days (tax prep and graphic work) that I forgot to mention that the Missing Angels website will launch tonight. At around 9pm. I'll post the link here and on my other blogs and FB page. That is all.

Multi Subject Post

2011-12-28T06:26:00.001-08:00

So I'm not getting sick. Yesterday may have been just a "You Slept with the window open for a minute type thing". Couldn't help it, had to do it. I swear that sometimes I'm going to "Early Menopause". Out of nowhere a "Hot Flash" will just hit me for no apparent reason. I'm only 34, but that could be it. Hell...a few months ago..I was begging for that medication that puts a person through menopause on purpose. I still may ask for it. I swear I am so done populating the world!! LOL!! Don't get me wrong, I love babies to death and would love to have another one. But for some reason, I keep picking the wrong people. I won't describe them, but they are all WRONG for me. I look for the "Mr. Right Now" and not "Mr. Right". Who is to say that person will ever come? I don't know. And I'm okay with that. But back to the menopause subject. I would so love for it to come right now and get over with!! Seriously!!!

In case I haven't posted it on here and I don't think I ever did because it's not something I talk about often on here. I have at least 1 fibroid on my uterus. I am not sure exactly where it is located. I haven't had it checked in about 5 months. I went on one birth control pill to stop the symptoms, then was switched to another one...that made it worse. Then I went on Depo...and it helped a little..I guess Depo was supposed to stop. Well...I moved back to Illinois from California, with NO insurance and apparently I make TOO MUCH for free healthcare. So I stopped Depo cold turkey, but right before I left California, I did that "Pill Manipulation" thing. I had several packs of pills, so I just took all the white ones to help stop the "flow". It worked, until I forgot that I only had 3 packs of pills. So it worked, but when it did....I ran out. So I just quit those cold turkey again. This time with the pill.

Low and behold.....no cycle for about three months. Then a little something and now i've been cycle free for about two weeks. Absolutely no meds in my system. Another thing my old doctor was suggesting was this pill that puts people through menopause or something called a Saline Ablation. I asked people who had it done before and they told me that it worked for them. The saline ablation that is. The doc said it was a 50/50 thing...but it was a 100% guarantee that my uterus would not be able to hold any type of fertilized egg ever again, but that it might not get rid of the problem. Why would I want to go through something like that and the problem not be fixed?

So right now....I'm at a "What do I do?". I want the fibroid removed, as the doctor did tell me if I ever got pregnant again I was guaranteed to have a miscarriage at 17-18 weeks, have a pre-term labor and delivery or be subject to bedrest the entire time I was pregnant. This was the same thing the doctor told me when I was pregnant with my last daughter and had cervical complications. I could get pregnant and have a cerclage put in, but still would have to do bed rest. And if you know me and followed me during my last pregnancy...ME and BEDREST DON"T MIX!!! I absolutely hated that 6 week bed rest and I was up everytime I could, even when I wasn't supposed to!!! You know me and authority don't mix!!! LOL!!!

On my way to take J to get a game for his DS. Also going to pick up some other things. Trying not to sop-shop again the rest of this year.

I'm going to start a "Funny, Ghetto, Soap Opera" blog. I come across too much b.s on a daily basis that is too funny not to share with readers. So be looking for that soon!!!

And before I get any comments, emails, etc. I will state again that I am black and should not be belittled for using the word GHetto.

Year Almost Over

2011-12-27T14:04:00.001-08:00

Well...this year is almost over. So glad. Can't wait until 2012. Lots of new things in store for me.

Found out something very interesting today. You know how you are in a battle of some sorts with someone and they have an advantage over you. But right when you think the battle is over, you find out something that puts you at an advantage?? Well....I received some information earlier today from someone. I thank this person so much for the information they gave me. It is going to come in very handy.

I seem to be getting sick. I woke up this morning and my throat was very raw. I took some medicine, so I'm kind of spacy right now.

Tried to do some work today. Got a little done. Just basically did some research today. Not much else.

That is all for now. Was going to try and write, but I'm not feeling it right now.

Day After Christmas!! Dreams or Nightmares?

2011-12-26T08:12:00.000-08:00

Well...we've survived another Christmas. This one was low-key as heck, but wait until next year. I'm going to make the news with the decorations!!! Saving up now for the electric bill. Com Ed is going to love me in a year!!! LOL!!

Had an unusal dream last night/this morning. I can't quite remember how it started, all I know is I thought that there was going to be a raid on a house near me, but they were actually here for me. Why? HUGE NARCOTICS investigation. I'm talking about Nino Brown from New Jack City HUGE!!! The FEDS and 1 local police officer came to the house. Turns out they didn't really want me, they wanted me to snitch on the top level guy. The Female fed officer was a real bitch though, she was like "Spread Em", so I did and then she's like "You keep spreading them until I tell you to stop!!!" Let's just say I was doing one hell of a center split for a frisk!! LOL!!!

Now, let me clear something up for those of you who will be reading this. And there is documented proof. NOT NOW, NOR HAVE I EVER been involved in drugs of any nature. I have never taken illegal drugs, nor have I ever sold them. A random drug test popped up on me one day and I passed it with flying freakin colors. Negative for Opiates, Cannibus, Barbituates, etc. NEGATIVE for everything. I don't advocate drug use (of the illegal nature) and if you know me...you know if I'm having pain of some sort, I will sit there until it is so unbearable before I take something. And when I take something, I take half the recommended dose because I'm such a lightweight...that Children's Allergy medicine knocks me on my ass!! I still have a full bottle of medication that they gave me when I broke my leg!! And those are strong as hell, I took one and was out for a full day!!

Just wanted to clear that up. Now, the reason I probably had my dream, was because I was doing research for one of the upcoming books that I am writing and the dream kind of was/is a part of the book. I'm figuring out that was why I had that dream. There is no other logical explanation for it. I don't even associate with those types...not even the WANNABE'S...and trust me there are a lot of those out there!!!

On to another subject, watched the Bulls game last night and it was close, but they spanked the Laker's ass!!! Spanked it hard!!! With a switch like Big Mama from the old days used to do. As always, hometown (my old hometown) hero Derrick (spelling??) Rose scored the crucial point helping to seal the win. I was in here screaming my behind off. Was on such a high that when I remembered the Bears were coming on, I debated on watching them. Don't get me wrong, I'm from Chicago and I love all of the sports teams. I love the Bears....especially some of their players (#22, #54 and #55...I'm considering taking all of them somewhere and committing Polygamy!!!!) LOL!! But...I think that some of the players let Cutler's injury get to them, they have been going downhill since then. They are now officially out of the playoffs. I was so hoping for a Bear's Superbowl. But everyone will be healthy next year and there is no excuse.

But I will be attending a Bull's game this season. Haven't been in a VERY LONG time. I also kind of issued a challenge to myself. I told my son about it, and he was like "Now you know the Bull's are going to make it to the playoffs, so you better get your ass in shape now!!". I'll tell you what it is later. I've done it before and considered doing it again. I don't know. That's a tough decision to make.

Happy Holidays!!

2011-12-25T15:59:00.000-08:00

I would have said "Merry Christmas". But I'm one of those thoughtful people who takes the fact that some people don't like the word "Christ" in Christmas, so I just chose to say "Happy Holidays".

Another year is fastly coming to a close and although it was a very hectic year for me, I am glad that I went through some of the things I went through. It is forcing me to take stock of things and change a lot of things about myself. I am so glad that this year is coming to a close. Lots of fun things planned. I start school very soon, I OFFICIALLY launch my businesses. They are just out there right now, but won't do a Grand Opening type thing until February 1, 2012.

Had a good plate of food. It's surprising because normally, I would have had at least four plates of food. However, with "not officially" being on a diet until January 1, 2012...I only had one plate. I kept the snacking to a minimum. Really proud of myself.

Watching the Bulls game. They are playing the Lakers. I remember living in California, talking mad b.s about the Lakers...and having people looking at me like they wanted to hang me upside down by my toenails. Then having friends who were out with me saying "She's From Chicago". Then they understood. It's not that I don't like the Lakers. I think they are a pretty good team. I just DON"T like..Kobe Bryant. He is not a man/hero/role model to me. Why do I say that? Going back to the whole "Rape" thing. I understand if you want to get your "Jollies" off with another woman while you are married, however, DON'T get on t.v and start crying like a "BIG BITCH" when you are charged with rape and start saying how much you love your wife and how she is the air you breath. Did you love her and was she the air you breathed when you were humping on some other broad?? I don't think so. I lost all respect for him then and there. No, I'm not on the side of the other woman. She has huge blame for this as well. But I place a majority of the blame on him. He should have known better. However, back to the game. Bulls are keeping the Lakers on their toes!!!

Waiting for the New Year to start. I mentioned to my FB friends that I was going to do the Smokey Eyed, Blonde Streaked hair look for the New Year. Or at least part of it. By that I mean, I am going to have some blonde streaks in my hair, not all around and not that deep...just some subtle highlights. Makeup won't be the "Smokey Eyed" thing everyday either. Just one day where it is really profound and the other days it's going to be there, but not as heavy.

I just got finished watching a "Christmas Story" marathon over the past 24 hours. I didn't watch every episode or even the entire showing of one episode. I can only stand so much of that movie. I just hadn't seen it in a long time, so I got really excited, but once I saw my favorite parts, I was through. FYI...that's the movie where all Ralphie wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder B.B. Gun. People kept telling him that he'd shoot his eye out. He gets the gun and what happens???? He damn near shoots his eye out!!! LOL!!! Classic movie. But I am done with Christmas movies. I'm not really a Christmas person, especially not this year. I shopped for the kids and got myself some things. But next year, I'll be in my new home and can really celebrate it the way I want to. I'm into all those big bright lights, moving, twinkling, etc. Plus, I really wanted a Fiber Optic Xmas tree this year and couldn't find one. But I'm going to buy one extra early next year.

I'm a New Years type person. I look forward to the New Year every year. I have so much fun. Last year, me and some friends had a blast. We kind of did our own "Club Cheetah" type thing. It was fun. I'm not all stuffy, stuck up and tight. I can get loose...REALLY LOOSE!!! Next New Years...I should be hosting a party or back in Vegas. I love Vegas for New Years!!

Well...that's all for now. It's been a long day. Been working all day long. Have to do some hair now. Someone wants me to do their hair, so I must get to work!!!

Take care

Here is Our Conversation!!

2011-12-23T10:28:00.000-08:00

I noticed since I outed Sarah Elizabeth on this blog about her lies. She has gone to the "angry" mode that someone goes through when they are outed. First let me explain something, I was contacted by someone asking if I knew her. I said "not really". This person told me about her many lies and her racist statements. I told that person that I was going to contact Sarah Elizabeth later on in the night to see what she says. Let me also state that I DO NOT know anyone with connections to Morocco, nor do I know any lawyer who travels there frequently. You see, if you give someone enough rope they will hang themselves. I asked Sarah Elizabeth about a week ago to give me information (not birth certificates) about her daughter. I started a Non-profit for Missing Children, after my own was briefly missing. I requested photos, bios, descriptions on her "daughter" and her "husband", so that I can post it on the Missing Angels blog, FB page and website. I got NO response for a week, until I contacted her last night and told her that someone was willing to help her. Call it baiting? Yes!!

I wanted to see if she would/could provide any information or if she was lieing. Here is the conversation below:

Hey Sarah,

I really need for you to get me the photos and bio/story on your daughter's disappearance. I have a friend who is a lawyer in Morocco and he has helped before. But I need to give him all the info I can. Also, give info/pics/bio on her father.

I am legally divorced in Morocco and the divorce decree says that I have Custody of her and he has to pay me child support. (he also lied and said I cheated on him and use to beat him) I will send you a copy of my divorce it's in Arabic and you can send it too him. That is all that he needs the rest of the information is him being nosey.

I am at work

and I am crying at my desk which i emrassing

That is the conversation I had with Sarah copy and pasted.

I find it funny in that conversation that she mentioned that since the crime did not happen in the United States and her "husband" is banned from all Hague countries that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children cannot do anything, but all of a sudden they are going to help. What changed the center's mind overnight? And why would they call her back another day to do the listing? When I called in regards to my own daughter, they were going to take all information even though I had not seen her in 2 years. They take "approximate" measurements. And also while not required, when I spoke to the Center they asked me for a police report number even though my situation happened some time ago. They will list without. I told Sarah to file a police report to see what her response would be.

Also I mention me attending law school. i am finishing up my Legal Studies degree in the next year and I will be entering law school shortly.

Also, she states that America has "failed" her. WTF??? In terms of the "statements" I made about Africans and I will state that I AM a African America woman (with other races in my blood). I made a comment about a Nigerian cab driver and his unwanted sexual advances while I was a passenger in his taxi. He made comments towards me being and I made comments right back.

WHen I finally confronted her about her lies. She then told me that the story was "None of My Business". But she asked me for help? But now it's none of my business?

And going back to the birth certificate issue? I said if she "Amirah" was a real person then she should do something...post a birth certificate, make a facebook page something. At NO time did I ever directly ask her for her daughters birth certificate. I wanted to get that point straight. Now, if you go to facebook...her entire account has been removed. Funny!!!

You're not going to see this too many times!!

2011-12-23T05:29:00.000-08:00

If you know me personally or even the tiniest bit, then you know what I'm about to say comes very rarely.....if at all. But recently in the "Find Jhessye Shockley" group. I came to the defense of a woman who was (what I thought at the time) a victim of International Parental Abduction. If you read back a few posts, I was concerned with this happening to me.

Before I get into it, I will APOLOGIZE to the ladies on the "Find Jhessye Shockley: Uncensored" page that I got into it with, that I disrespected in some way. I am a woman and can admit when I'm wrong and for that I apologize. But the feelings I was going through at the time, I was in a situation that I thought this woman was going through. So I felt some connection to her.

I came to this woman's defense because I believed her at the time. However, I was messaged by someone who sort of opened my eyes wider to what I had been seeing from this woman Sarah. She said she wanted to get her daughter back from Morocco. However, was just sitting on her ass not doing anything. She said she had, but as I looked further and further into her story. I see that she hadn't. She makes racist statements against Muslims on several FB pages, has been banned from the U.S Embassy's FB page (the one that's based in Morocco). She hasn't made a FB page or any website about her daughter. She just states she has emailed people and got no response from them. She said she talked with the U.S embassy in Morocco and they told her there was nothing she could do until her daughters passport expired (which she states is next year). She then says she has to hope they let her daughter return, but her daughter's father would have to agree to it. Then she said that they told her that if he didn't agree to it, her daughter wouldn't be allowed to leave on her own free will until she was 16 years old. Okay fine. I have a friend who has offered to help her. He is a Moroccan lawyer who travels frequently to Morocco. has assisted on a case like this.

So I relayed a message to her asking her to send me the info that he requested so that I could send it to this man, so he could start working on her case. She gave me vague information and told me any other information this man was asking for "He was just being nosey"(her words, not mine). She then stated she would send me the divorce decree which was in Arabic. I have asked this lady in the past to send me photos, bio, story, etc on this child. But as of yet, I have not received anything. She then tells me that she has to talk to her "Father" before she gives me any information, because low and behold. All of sudden the Turkish Embassy/Consulate is in negotiations with Morocco about getting this little girl back and taking her to Turkey, where this woman can pick up her daughter and come back to the United States. This was after I mentioned her suing the Kingdom of Morocco, just so she could give this "case" some attention. I've seen people sue other countries and this "situation" would fall under the "Personal Injury" aspect. Personal Injury is just not physical injuries, but it's also "Mental".

So as of last night, I no longer believe this woman. I mentioned to someone that if I find out that she has been lieing, then I was going to rip her (Sarah) a new one. So here it goes, Sarah (whichever personality you are when you read this). I truly think you are a low down sack of shit. You are a LIAR. How dare you make up a story like this to get attention. You are nothing more than a deceitful human being (wait that's too high for you). You are lower than a sack of shit. You are also ANTI-MUSLIM, sprouting hateful words towards Muslims...but you claim to have Muslim family. Isn't that what a racist says when they are called on it "I have black friends or my grandmother is 1/4th black". You are racist, a piece of shit and an overall waste of skin.

That is all for now.

Update

2011-12-20T17:09:00.001-08:00

There's been a update on the situation with my daughter. I was completely blindsided. I suspect that there was some wrongdoing on the part of "his" lawyers. They are known for having suspect legal practices. I heard a banging on the door and saw that it was the police (3 cars). I went to answer and I was handed a "order" supposedly from the judge (not signed...just stamped). I had to turn Taylor over to her father today. It was heartbreaking and I am still quite upset. I almost went after him but was restrained by 2 police officers. I am at a loss for words. But trust and believe, I will be at the courthouse tommorrow..filing whatever I can file. I did not see this coming at all. But when you have a shiesty ass lawyer who doesn't follow the law like he is supposed to, what do you expect (not my lawyer, but Taylor's dumb ass dad's lawyer). My own baby girl was crying and did not want to go. And then this dumb fuck had the audacity to get up in my mother's face. Oh Hell No!! Looking at the court order, I can see where both he and his attorney lied. But guess what? There is a surprise coming very shortly from the courts. This asshole lied and said that he had never been served. I had him served PERSONALLY, which was recognized by the court. I then sent all court orders to his address. He was also served personally by the police department out here. So he wants to lie and says that he wasn't served? Okay, watch what happens when I get a statement from the police contradicting his statement.

I am beyond words right now. What does he think he is going to accomplish by this? Absolutely nothing, but more hate and anger. But I will prevail. He can do whatever he wants to me, but I will prevail.

Interesting

2011-12-20T05:10:00.000-08:00

I won't say who, but some people seem to think that this "Black, Ghetto Female" doesn't know anything about the law when it comes to custody, paternity, etc. Well, after my case in 2007. I studied up on the law and different cases, even the "So Called" attorney. Also, I have retained a lawyer to represent me in this manner. So whatever they throw at me, I a more than prepared to throw back. Whatever little things they "think" they are going to tell the judge. The judge already knows about. So, in saying that. If they think that I am going to lay down easily and give up?? Oh hell no. I'm in it for the long haul. I have the money to take this potential disagreement for years, all the while hitting that pocket!! So they want a fight...I'm prepared for war!! Take note of that!!!! I will say this though, if he can afford to pay this attorney. Why isn't he taking care of his responsibility? Oh that will come out. Every little thing that he has tried to hide is about to come out. Trust and believe.

They are nothing more than "MONEY GRUBBING LEECHES". How can you say you are for "Father's Rights"? When you don't even suggest to your clients that they take care of their responsibilities. All they are after is money, you got money or have a potentially money making case. Then these people will represent you. They are so called "Father's Rights", but they were willing to represent the woman who filed false paternity claims against Justin Beiber. Why not represent Justin Beiber? Why the mother? Did they see a money making opportunity? YOU BET YOU!!! But I have a surprise for them as well.

This supposed "GREAT LAW FIRM" is not even accredited with the BBB. Why is that? Is it because of the dozens upon dozens of complaints against them for various reasons? Is it because of the illegal legal and business practices? YEAP!!! You can best believe when I am done with these people, they WILL NOT be able to practice law in this state ever again.

On another note, started a very productive day of work super early...like an hour ago. Getting ready for the annual New Year's tradition with my family. Getting ready for Christmas. It will be low key. The kids have already started getting their presents. So I'm happy on that level. Didn't get to decorate like I wanted to. I like to go all out. But by the time I went shopping for more lights, they were all sold out. And I'm not one to go everywhere looking for something. If it's not in one store or any place close to it. Then I really don't need it nor want it.

Women's Intuition!!

2011-12-19T10:32:00.000-08:00

Ladies,

Do you know how you have that gut feeling that something isn't just quite right? That someone is trying to be a sneaky and underhanded fool. Like everything is "for a reason". Like someone is trying to "bait" you or "Set You Up"??? Well, I've been having that feeling for a couple of days now and I now know why. I won't say it on here, but I check up on my intuition. It was telling me that something wasn't quite right and I checked and I see that I was right.

A sneaky, slimy, rat will never get the one up on me. I'm sorry. I've been through absolutely too much to fall for the "Okey Doke" again. I tried to be civil with this person. But all of that has gone out of the door. There will no longer be any type of civility between me and this person. EVER AGAIN!!! All of that went out flying out the window.

We always had an agreement to keep things civil between us and not take it a step further. But I had some personal issues. When I was done handling those "personal issues". I AGAIN tried to be civil. Someone forced my hand and I had to take it to another level. Even then, I still tried to be civil. But once everything went in my favor and I had the upper-hand, now people want to TRY to take it a step further. But OH NO!!! I'm stopping it right here and right now. It WILL NOT go the way they want. Not this time, not ever.

I hope this person realizes how much they have messed up the GOOD and PEACEFUL situation that they had. Because it is no longer that way anymore. They wanted to take it to that highest level, so I'm no longer going to be that NICE, CALM and LEVEL-HEADED person they were so happy to have. They wanted the "other me". Guess what? They got it.

Book Design #2 and Going Back Again!! And found trainer!!

2011-12-19T05:44:00.000-08:00

Okay, here is the 2nd book cover design. It's almost the same as the other, but the text styles are different. Not the final one, going to do a few more revisions, before I send the covers out for a test printing to see what they look like. Online is one thing, actual print in hand is another different.

Okay, so I've gone back on my decision to not compete. The reason I initially said that I wouldn't is because of the fact that my daughter's father was violating a court order to return her to my custody. She has since been returned, it has been a week now and everything is all good (okay...do they even say that anymore). I'm friends on FB with a lady who keeps throwing out all these beautiful gowns (not really throwing them out, just posting them for sale). So, I saw this killer one today and I'm in love. I said she was going to make me rethink not competing this upcoming year. Well, I'm still weighing my decision. Haven't totally made a decision yet. If I will, I will announce it on February 1st, 2012.

Oh, and I've found a trainer. A guy I've known for about 3 years now. No, not the jerk I was falling for. I was actually close with this man and his ex-wife (during our pregnancies). He's a personal trainer now, so I'm going to ask him to whip y ass into shape. So that even if I do compete in 2012, I will be in shape. If I don't, at least I'll be looking extra good this summer. Those women in that "new town" better watch out!!!

That's all for now. Oh wait...Sam Hurd has been cut by the Bear. The Bears lost again. Don't think they are going to make it to the Playoffs, heard yesterday was a must win for them to make it. NOt sure what the pic looks like now.

Getting Ever So Close!!

2011-12-18T09:57:00.000-08:00

I'm getting ever so close to a home. I had to expand the area to another county. I'm still keeping the original towns in mind. But I've expanded it to find something that will fit us.

Okay, I have a new cause. It is "Missing Children", since I had a situation like this recently. I have decided to help others since my own situation turned out so well. But in doing so, I have come across some very ignorant people. I won't mention what site I was on, but it is a very popular one for a missing child. In my defending a woman that some people were bashing and calling stupid, I was called arrogant. Why? Because I clearly pointed out that when I was posting about my own daughter..NO ONE belittled me publically the way they did this woman. What was the difference? I am black and the main focus of this site was black. The woman they were bashing was considered white in some women's eyes and had what appeared to be a mixed race child on the darker side of things. SHe posted a photo of the father who abducted the child and it is in my opinion that the main jerk on that site DID NOT like her because of this. So I called her on it and I'm now arrogant and ignorant. I'm far from it. I just call it like I see it. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I'm believing this woman when she says her child is missing and in Morocco. Others don't believe her story. I am going to believe and help her in any way possible until I hear otherwise. I will say this, if it turns out that this woman is not telling the truth and just doing this for attention. Then I feel sorry for her. But until then, I'm going to help her and anyone I can.

Setting A High Goal For Myself!!

2011-12-16T16:48:00.000-08:00

Sort of like a bucket list type thing. Something that I have always loved and enjoyed but never thought I would/could do until I stumbled upon some websites and saw that I would be able to do it. Thing is I'm not even going to do it until 2013. This is something that you can't go into lightly. You have to be well prepared for it. Mentally and physically. No, it's not a pageant. It's something totally in a different direction.

Okay, Update on House Search

2011-12-16T07:47:00.000-08:00

Okay,

So I haven't really been finding what I wanted in terms of houses in the top area I wanted, so I expanded to the area just east of it. Finding some good choices there. I decided to expand to three other areas west of here. And I'm very pleased with the results. For the same price I was looking in the area closer to here, I am finding BIGGER and BETTER options in the areas further away. All the areas are still in the same county with the exception of two. I want to make sure I get my dollar's worth. I am certainly finding it outside of Cook County.

General Post For Today

2011-12-16T05:56:00.000-08:00

Have to get started on the other blog today. Just been so preoccupied with other things lately.

Now that I've had time to think about this whole Sam Hurd drug network thingy (see my most recent post for this story). I am highly pissed. Why? Because rather he knows it or not, this man is a role model not only for his own kids, but for kids who may be watching him and for him to TRY to become this big Drug Kingpin is highly disappointing to me. I am a mother of 5 kids, three of them being boys. I thank god that my boys don't look up to athletes, rappers, etc as role models. They are saying that they hope that this doesn't distract the Bear's, well they play this Sunday and we shall see if it does.

Update on Taylor. Little Mama is a riot. Last night she had the entire family laughing. Then after we stayed in the bedroom for the night. I had to go to the restroom, I got up and she was like "Where you going?". I told her and she was like "oh..okay...I draw you something then!". And she proceeds to start drawing on this chalkboard we have set up. Then we had a marathon chat session last night. She told me how some people (i'm not naming names because some of them are minors) don't listen to her, how one of her cousins hurt her foot, how one of her cousins tried to run away, and lots of other things that I won't mention here. Luckily, I didn't hear anything bad, or else some people would have some explaining to do.

That's it for the morning. Getting ready to run out for about 45 minutes. More later.

WOW!!!

2011-12-15T14:11:00.000-08:00

I just became aware of this story. Sam Hurd who is a WR (wide receiver) for the Chicago Bears was arrested Wednesday night after making a deal with an undercover federal agent to buy massive amounts of drugs. This included ten kilos of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana. Hurd apparently told the undercover agent that he had been making MAJOR moves in the Chicago area and that his current supplier could no longer meet his demands and he was looking for someone who could. Little did he know that he was making deals with a federal ageant. I am a huge football fan and this makes me upset that he would do this to not only himself and his family, but the Bear's organization and the entire city of Chicago. I no longer live in Chicago, but still have many strong ties to the city.

This man is a husband and a father and you can surely believe that the Feds have seized all of his assets...bank accounts, house, cars, etc. Where does this leave his family? I hope that the wife had her own account, but more than likely she did not and she's about to feel it now. Did she know it was going on? Hell if I know. I would hope that she doesn't.

There are reports that he provided a list to the Feds of all the players in the NFL that he dealt with. I would only hope that it wasn't any of my favorite players and I hope that this is only a rumor. I wonder what the NFL plans on doing about this.

Book Cover Is Designed

2011-12-15T12:36:00.000-08:00

So far it is a hit. Most people like it. The people who don't like it, don't get what the cover has to do with the story. Well, the story isn't out there yet. So they don't get it and won't get it. But I'm posting a copy of the cover. Remember that I am writing under an assumed name. :-)

Now for your viewing pleasure. Please DO NOT hesitate to tell me what you think of it.

Update!!

2011-12-14T06:58:00.000-08:00

House #2 is now "Contingent" meaning someone jumped the gun before me. I'm kind of happy. That would have been my "Backup" house in case the others fell through. There are others. I'm glad that someone is getting it though.

Taylor is coming out of her shell now. We went to pick her big brother Jordan up from school and she allowed me to hold her hand. Also, all day before we went out, she followed me everywhere I went.

Yesterday, after we got back from picking up Jordan. I started to ask her questions and she would answer them by shaking her head. She ate some chicken nuggets and french fries for dinner last night. Then I looked through some sales papers and I saw some toys, so I asked her if she saw something she wanted for Christmas and she shook her head yes, then I asked her to show me and she pointed to a toy. So I said okay and that I would get it. Then later on, I asked her if she wanted something else for Christmas and she pointed to another toy. Later on, I started asking her if she liked cake, ice cream and other stuff. She said no. But I asked if she liked juice and she said yes.

Later on as we were in the room about to go to sleep I saw her playing with a toy that was sent with her. I asked her if that was her toy and she said yes and I asked the name and she said really low "fire". It's some kind of action figure thing. They I asked her about her baby and told her that she had a pretty baby.

Well, I'm off to do some more work. The last logo I did, the person is having problems with the way it is looking. So I have to see what is going on with it.

Update!!!! Dilemma (Spelling???)

2011-12-13T05:58:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to let everyone know that Taylor is doing well. She is such a beautiful and smart little girl. And such a little diva too. She WILL NOT take a picture if she doesn't want to. She WILL NOT eat until she is ready to. I'm not complaining. I am happy to have her back.

Also for the dilemma. January marks the month that I will purchase a home. I'm really excited about it. What is the dilemma? I'm basically torn between two homes. Both of them are tied for the # spot. I'll give you a description on both of them:

HOUSE 1

5 bedrooms, 3 bath, huge living room, nice sized room right off front entry, formal dining room, large kitchen with stainless steel appliances, HUGE unfinished basement, large yard, beautiful 2 story windows around most of the building, in a very prestigous (and i'm sure even gated) neighborhood. This one is also listed at about $60,000 more than house 2. But more square footage and fact that it has unfinished basement is worth the extra $60,000. Can put more bedrooms, a bath, laundry room and entertainment room down there.

HOUSE 2

5 bedrooms, 3 baths, pool. $60,000 less than house 1. Not much space in the rooms, not much room for expansion. The only thing that makes this better is the fact that it has a pool and it's $60,000 less than house 1.

I don't know, I have some decisions to make.

New Blog Coming Soon

2011-12-12T11:42:00.001-08:00

Okay, okay.

I know you are like "Another One From Her". But yes...actually there will be two. One about fashion, cosmetics, etc. Being a Diva On A Budget. Right now, I'm a Diva on a SERIOUS budget. But just wait. It will be about how to look your most fabulous without breaking the bank. So get ready for that one. I will piece together outfits, give makeup tips, hairstyle tips, etc.

The other one will be dedicated to missing children, etc. Actually..that will be a website and not a blog.

Update on Taylor. She is doing fine. She allowed me to comb her today which it seriously needed. It's like someone didn't pick up a comb and comb her hair the entire time she was gone. I wonder who is responsible for that. I don't know. i don't care. Her hair will be taken care of from now on.

No Smokey Eye Look Yet!! And Good News

2011-12-12T08:35:00.000-08:00

Okay,

So I didn't do the SMokey Eye look yesterday. I started to, but I kept my look very simple. Eyeliner and lip gloss.

Financical Aid situation with school is now settled. So will be starting February 6th, 2012. Going to be earning my BS in Legal Studies. The way I will be taking classes, I'll be finished in 18 months, then on to Law School. So very excited.

Also, the good news I have to share is that my 3 year old daughter is now home. She has been returned after police intervention. I want to give a big THANK YOU to the local police department out here. I had doubts, but I see that they lived up to their word and what they said they were going to do...they did. They will always have a special place in my heart and mind and anything they need, I will help them with.

I won't go into the details on here. But things went calmly and smoothly. My daughter is starting to warm up to me. She has eaten some today and had 2 juices. Next, I am going to tackle her hair. It is a hot mess, looks like it's been kept that way for awhile. But not complaining though (lol..actually I am). I will be tackling it today.

That's all for now.

The Smokey Eye Look!!

2011-12-10T19:52:00.000-08:00

I am going to attempt this smokey eye look thing. I got an early X-mas gift and it was one heck of a makeup kit. So tommorrow morning, I am going to try this thing out. I'm not a big makeup person. I do the mascara, eyeliner and lip gloss and I'm good to go. But I'm going to try more eye color, liquid liner, the whole kit and kaboodle.

Also been working on a logo for the last two days, it's going to go into tommorrow as well. I'm all tapped out right now. I can't do anything else but surf the web. No positive news to share in regards to Taylor right now. But I'm praying that something happens soon.

Sort of Wild Night!!

2011-12-10T06:38:00.000-08:00

Okay,

So last night I went to get online and p.c was running slow...or so I thought.

It turns out the connectivity issues I had last night were due to Comcast having internet issues in the area. I ran a full scan on the pc, before my son asked me if the lights on the Xfinity box were supposed to be flashing the way that they were. I looked and noticed that the lights on the Xfinity box and the modem were doing some weird things. Turns out Comcast had an outage in the area.

I went to sleep around 12:30am, after watching a friend on an episode of "The Squeeze". He's a Deputy with Cook County, I couldn't watch the entire show, but I tried. LOL!!!

I got awaken by a flashing light coming through my window. I swear on everything I love I thought the lights were Blue & Red. The colors of the flashing lights from the police department out here. So I rolled over and looked out the window and saw a car. Now keep in mind that I'm blind as a bat without my glasses, so I'm seeing this unfamiliar car parked in front of the house and flashing lights. I jumped up like "OMG...OMG!".

After I put my glasses on, I realized that the flashing light was from the Comcast van parked right next to my house. They were fixing the internet issue on a poll right by the window. So the flashing lights were not the police, but from Comcast.

You may be asking yourself, why I would get so wound up over flashing lights. Well, if you know about the personal situation I am going through then you know that me thinking that the police are here to see me would get me excited.

That is all for now, I have to finish this logo. My connectivity issues kept me from being able to finish it.

Will post more later.

I'm Back!!

2011-12-09T07:41:00.001-08:00

So while looking over blogs for a logo that I'm designing for a close friend, I thought about my own blogging. I'm not really that regular, my posts are all over the place. I don't have a focus. I remember awhile ago I was thinking about starting a regular, mom popular blog...I may have even posted about it on here, but I am so not about to go back and look at it. I think it was referring to Successful Single Parenting or something about parenting large families or something like that. I don't know. I do know that I am so into fashion, makeup, styling, etc. So maybe I'll do something about being a successful, stylish mommie or something like that. I know I will have to figure it out soon. So that I can get it started and posting away.

Okay, on the housing front. My #1 is gone. Sold. Off The Market. Whatever. The #2 is still on the market as of five minutes ago. #3 went down about $20,000 which makes me think there is something seriously wrong with it if it dropped so much for all that it was offering. I have actually passed this one while going to Walmart (yes, I shop at Walmart). I love it. #3 has 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, an inground pool, dining room, den, living room, etc. I'm tempted to go and see what's wrong with it and ask why it went down so much.

Right now, my latest search returned 77 homes. All in three towns. I'm only sticking with these three towns. I also just found out that a home in my favorite subdivision is for sale, it isn't listed on the regular home search website that I look at, but it is on general listing sites. If only I could see more pictures.

Okay, I'm really gone now. Have work to do. LOL!!!

More later, got to go and work on this logo.

Not much to post!!

2011-12-09T05:16:00.000-08:00

We got our first snow. Rod Blagojevich (spelling???) is going to do 14 years in the Feds. Not going to report anymore updates on my daughter before something happens. I will only say that things are okay.

I have to do some work today, so I will try not to be on here posting al day. I have to get started on some jobs. Have been slacking a lot lately.

Rod Blagoveich!!

2011-12-07T05:14:00.001-08:00

Today yet another one of our former governor's is about to be sentenced for corruption. I think t his makes #3. I am not sure, have to do my research. He is looking at a very lengthy sentence, some political legal analyst is saying he is looking at around 15 years, maybe more. I am on the Good Day Chicago FB page and someone mentioned if he had just acknowledge some sort of guilt, just a tiny bit, then the judge would be lenient on him.

But he hasn't shown an ounce of remorse at all. He didn't even speak at his own trial, I don't know what lawyers he has, but they should have told him that judges WILL take leniency if the defendant speaks during trial or while taking a plea deal makes some sort of apology to those that he/she harmed. To this day, this man has not done either. He hasn't spoken at all, but thinks that if he has his wife and children write letters to the judge then that will help.

I heard one of the letters that one of his daughters wrote, in it, she talks about how she will need her father for her prom or to see her get married and for other things. Was her father thinking of that when he was doing what he was doing? I don't think so. I will be watching and letting you all know what he gets. My guess is over 15 years.

Snow Possibly??

2011-12-06T12:05:00.000-08:00

While coming back from River Oaks and looking at my future home. Yes, I said "Looking At My Future Home". I saw some white stuff flying in the wind. Thinking it was possibly some pollen, but remembering it's really too late in the season for pollen, I realized that it could have possibly been snow. I've been waiting for some snow for a long time. Even purchased some boots today, you know those type of boots every female seems to be wearing these days. I found them online, saw that they happened to be at a store close to where I was going. Did the important shopping first and then walked over there with all 8 of my bags full of X-mas stuff for everyone. Walked in the store, saw a model of the boot sitting at the end of the aisle, found the saleslady and asked her if they had it in an 8 1/2, she said yes, but that someone was trying it on. I was like "What about an 8?". She said the only size they had was the 8 1/2 and the lady had it, but she also thought the lady wasn't going to buy it. So, me being the "opportunist" that I am, I literally stalked this lady and waited until she put the boots back on the shelf and as soon as she did and walked to the next aisle, I jumped up, grabbed the box and walked up to the counter and whipped out that plastic and said "CHARGE IT!!!". So now, i am the proud owner of some beautiful dark brown suede boots courtesy of American Eagle.

I also brought one hell of a make-up kit, almost a new year, so time for a new me. Also kind of disappointed because one item I was looking for came in a smaller size than I was willing to purchase, so I decided to try out a new item (body wash). I picked up a bottle of Caress bodywash. Went to find the lotion to match, they did not have it. So I had to go back and pick out another body wash and go back to the lotion aisle and find the matching lotion!!

And boy am I glad that I purchased it. I purchased the new Oil of Olay Luscious Embrace lotion and bodywash. An added bonus was the bodywash came with matching bodysoap!!! So, I am eagerly awaiting tonight, because I'm taking the longest shower possible.!!

Well, that is all for now. I am about to head out to pick up "Jay-Weezy" (my youngest son told me this was his new nickname). Will probably post more later.

Important News!!!

2011-12-05T14:47:00.000-08:00

I have thought long and hard about a lot of things lately and I've come to a decision. But first, I'll explain why I came to a decision before telling you what that decision is!!!

I posted sometime ago about a personal domestic situation that I was going through. I felt it was a bit too personal to talk about on here. But since a lot of people view my blogs, I figured that I would give it a shot.

If you don't know by now and you live in the Chicagoland area (you will find out sooner or later via the media), my three year old daughter Taylor is the subject of a Parental Abduction. Her father is illegally concealing her within the state, although I have FULL physical and legal custody of her and have had that since mid August 2011. In the court order, which I am working on having scanned and uploaded, it states that her father is to return her to my custody, not remove her from the state nor is he allowed to conceal her within the state. He has violated each and every stipulation of the court order. There is a police report which I will also have scanned and uploaded, that was filed with the local police department.

So far her father, Aristeo has been charged with Violation of a Court Order. But I am about to have those charges upgraded to a higher level this week. Possibly even as soon as tommorrow.

So with that said, I WILL NOT be competing/registering for any pageant competition until my daughter is back home where she belongs. I don't want to take the chance of me being away and the police find her and I can't get a flight back home. So I will stay here until she is returned to me. Also, as for a relationship. That is over and done with and another will not be starting until after my daughter is returned to me. I cannot have the distractions right now. I also can't take the chance of having someone in my life that is not 100%. By that I mean, if that person has any skeletons in his closet, that could affect me and my child. So, I will stay and remain single until further notice.

If you want to check out the blog I made about my daughter, please visit: http://findtaylornicoleambion.blogspot.com/

Also, I would really appreciate it if you would help spread the word about my daughter. Also mention the fact that here is now a $1,000 reward for her safe return and the arrest and conviction of the person/people responsible for her concealment.

I thank you very much!!

Far From Stupid!!

2011-12-05T05:52:00.000-08:00

It's been one of those weeks. Really...people just seem to know what buttons to push. I'm glad because I'm not reacting like I used to react. People just seem to think I can't tell when they are "Googling" me. Hello, I pay a nice amount every month to find out who is googling me, what time they are googling me, the search terms and their EXACT location. I find it very funny that someone who has connections to one of the towns on my "Visitor Tracker" (which is clearly visible on my website) claims to no longer have any connections to that town. Really???? When did that happen? Last night when I called him on it? You know how us ladies have that "Women's Intuition"? Well my alarm is DINGING loud as hell!!! Something isn't right. Something hasn't been right, I was just hoping that I was being paranoid as usual. But normally, when my "inner voice" tells me to "Stay Away" or avoid certain situations, and I don't listen...something goes wrong. But when I do listen....I see that I avoided a nasty situation.

Really, right now is not the time to get into a relationship. So I am officially backing away from that person. Hell...if I have to run a background check on any person that comes into my life, then that is what I am going to have to do. That is what should be done anyway!!! I swear on everything that I love, something isn't right about this person.

Remember one of most recent posts where I state this person says the wrong things? Well....last night...I send him an IM, asking why no contact. I really don't care at this point, but wanted to see his reaction. He claims to have been busy with "3 clients" all day. Yeah...sure!! The same day this "search" was done on me. From a town that he works in. But he claims it wasn't him. Well, guess what. I.P addresses can be traced. This program also tells me the server from which the search was done. I'm logged in now and will find out. Back to the "person". One of the first things out of his mouth after I asked him about the no contact was "Did you start your diet/exercise program yet?". I'm like "Why?" His response was just asking!!! Really??? I have trick up my sleeve for that person.

Sorry to start the day off with a vent. But it just needed to be let out.

Just Had One Of Those Moments!!

2011-12-04T12:36:00.000-08:00

I think it's called an "Ephipany" or something like that. I don't know. I've been working non-stop since about 8am this morning and my brain is starting to shut down!!! LOL!!

Anyways, it just dawned on me that I take peoples thoughts, comments, etc to heart too much. Meaning, I'm a people pleaser. I try to do what makes others happy and I don't focus on myself as much as I should. Someone tells me I shouldn't buy a house in a certain area because if I move too far out, they won't come visit. Or, I shouldn't look for a house that costs a certain amount because they won't help me with the mortgage. And some other random b.s. Well, because of that, in the past I've looked for houses in areas that would be close enough for people to come and visit me without having to drive too far out. Not even caring that I wasn't seeing anything that caught my eye. Well, that's not going to be happening. I know what I'm looking for in a house (area, price, size, etc.), so with that said. I'm purchasing a house in the area and price range that suits me and my family. We know what we want. The money is already there, oh yes, down payment and a year's worth of mortgage is already in the bank. Had that 2 1/2 years ago. I'm just waiting until January to start the home search. New year, new me!!

I just take people's thoughts of me and what I do for my family way too seriously and that deters me from doing lots of things. So from now on, no more of that.

Riviera For Skype

2011-12-04T12:31:00.000-08:00

I just recently purchased a brand new Acer laptop and it came pre-loaded with Skype. I've heard of Skype before but never used it. Why would I want to use that I thought? I'm not into all that online video stuff. But I've recently started to use it with people I do business with. I've tried this new product/service they have called Riviera for Skype. It records Skype conversations and calls to MP3 files. It makes it easier to conduct interviews (which I seem to be doing lots of now), audio and podcasts.

I suggest to everyone that you give this product a try. It works wonders with Skype.

Let me know what you think about it.

Will Never Understand!!

2011-12-04T06:26:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I posted the other day about this new "relationship" I was happy about. Well, in a matter of a few days, it's or rather I am not happy about this "relationship" anymore. I'm about to throw the towel in. I can't deal with negativity.

What was the negativity? I'll tell you.

I mentioned to this person that I was entering a pageant. What was the first thing out of his mouth? "Well...sweetie, you better get started on a kick ass workout plan now, you know how those women look in those things!!" Wait a minute, I never told him what type of pageant this was. It could have been a plus sized (which I would be on the smaller end of anywho, or probably wouldn't qualify for being a size 14). The first thing out of his mouth should have been "Congrats sweetie. How are you going to get ready for this?". But no. Negative as always.

Another negative thing, I mentioned to him that I was buying a house next month. He asked what areas I was looking in. I told him two, he said what about "O.P". I said maybe and I added it to my search list. Why would I move out there? So he can be up my a** every single day. I don't even think so.

Then I was talking to him via IM, and I got an emergency call about my baby sis and I logged off and dealt with the situation. Started to get a migraine so I took something and was knocked out in less than an hour. I wake up next morning to log into the account and he is talking about "You logged off without saying goodbye! Sheesh...whatever!". I have no time for that, so I sent him a response letting him know that he does it to me all the time.

Another thing is, since this is the only web enabled computer in the house until next month, if someone wants to get on the web, then I'm going to let them. I don't care who I'm talking to online. So my oldest wanted to get on, I told this guy that i was going to let my son on. He starts whining.

And another thing, I had a rough day the other day and he sent me a text the other night saying "I know you had a rough day. I'm glad everyone is sleep over there". I'm like "Everyone isn't sleep". He asked who was up and I told him and I didn't hear from him, then heard the excuse that he fell asleep. By far is this chica over here stupid!!! I'm far from it and if I feel like you are testing my intelligence, then I'm going to let you know. He does that all the time, if I can't "talk" to him in that way. He doesn't want to have a conversation. He can't have not one conversation with me without it going "there". I'm sorry. But I'm not like that and if he still thinks I am, then he can keep it moving.

I'm pretty sure he'll stumble upon this, but oh well. Better him read it here, then hear it out of my mouth because it won't come out this nice!!! I'm sweet, lovable and kind hearted to a point. But there is only so much B.S. a woman can take and I'm done taking it.

If you haven't done so recently, check out my pageant and weight loss blogs. Just click on "View Profile" and you will see links to my other blogs!!

Back To School I Go!!!

2011-11-28T19:35:00.000-08:00

It's official. I am now a student and I start classes on February 6th. I will be taking a total of 5 classes. Some people questioned my sanity about that decision. But hey...I like the challenge. So 5 classes it is. I'm carrying a full course load of 15 credit hours. I will be taking:

* English

* Criminal Justice 316: Corrections and Incarceration (LOL)

* Criminal Justice 205: Rape and Sexual Violence

* Legal Studes: Family Law

* And some foundations of learning course

What's my GPA goal? Perfection of course. But no less than a 3.5. We shall see what will happen. I'm really excited. Post more later, going to try and do some work despite this raging migraine I seem to have developed in the last hour.

Woahhh....never saw this coming!!

2011-11-28T05:57:00.000-08:00

So I logged into one of my old email accounts a day or two ago. And while I was cleaning it out, I had some "I'M's" from a couple of people. One of them really caught my eye. Someone I used to go out with a few years ago, but lost contact with had sent me some im's. Big shocker. This person kind of knows me a bit too well. Had an opportunity to talk to him last night and he was like "I'm glad I could put a smile on your face!" And I'm like "How do you know I'm smiling". He replied with "I can tell by the tone of your voice!". I'm like "WOOOAAAHHH!!!" He really knows me a bit too much. No one can tell when I'm smiling over the phone but him. We talked about some things and it felt good. And ladies....let me tell you....his voice....oh so deep!!! Very soothing. This is not someone I just met. I've known him for at least 7 1/2 years. Haven't seen him in about 3 years. A real supportive guy. Asked me about something he knows I have a long standing issue with and he told me not to worry and that he'd assist me with it.

He's really not the type of guy that I'd normally go for. I like those "Bad Boys" and he is so not the bad boy type. He is the other type of guy that I like. Nice, well established, cultured...he is the type of guy that I need. So we shall see where this will go.

WIll post more later. Forgot school started again today and have to get J off to school in about 15 minutes.

Take Care

Removing All Those Towns I'd Never Move Too!!

2011-11-27T06:46:00.000-08:00

Because I wasn't finding what I needed in a home in the original town I selected. I expanded to some towns I've been to and liked and wouldn't mind living in. However, the search results were way too much, so I had to narrow it down to the town I'd most like to live in, in addition to, the towns immediately to the North and East. So we shall see what comes up. I've also upped the maximum price by $25,000 and brought the number of bedrooms down one but added the requirement that it have a basement. So we shall see what comes up.

More later.

One of the biggest acts of kindness one could ever do!!

2011-11-26T19:17:00.000-08:00

I am not sure if I have posted about it on here. But I thought I'd post about it again. Because it kind of just hit me last weekend. Last weekend, as I was preparing to go to the circus. I went to get the mail. When I was making plans for the circus, I thought about how there was one special little girl thousands of miles away who would probably love to have the opportunity to attend the circus just once in her life. the Saturday I was going, I flipped through my mail and saw a letter from an organization that has those sponsored kids.

You see, I went to court for a domestic issue on Sept 27th (my birthday). I decided to take a different way out of the courthouse and walk another way to the subway, when I turned this corner and was immediately "ambushed" (in a nice way) by this really nice young lady and she started talking to me about this organization. Well, I immediately said yes and chose a girl from the Dominican Republic. Well, her picture came a few weeks later and I immediately fell in love with her. You may often see me refer to her as my daughter "Ris-Ris". Well, last Saturday I got the very first letter from her. It was written on her behalf by her cousin. It touched me so much, I have never been affected by some sort of thing I've done to help another person as much as this has. To know that the money I send will help this young lady and her family in such a way is something really amazing.

I was asked to possibly go there and see her. So, I am tentatively making plans to go and see her sometime in the summer.

I want to encourage everyone, if you are able to. Please consider sponsoring a child from one of these organizations. For the price a lot of you pay in a week for your lattes or mocha whatevers you could sponsor a child. If I can do it, then anyone could.

So get to it. I've issued a challenge. I would really appreciate it if when you sponsor a child, you let me know that you did so. Share your story with me. I will share my journey with this amazing little girl as we go along.

Turkey Day Overload!!

2011-11-25T06:36:00.000-08:00

It is official, I don't ever want to see Turkey again!!! And I didn't even have that much. Actually, I've been eating Turkey for 2 days. The turkey was cooked the day before Thanksgiving and i got a little test piece. Then I had a tiny piece yesterday. Everything else was good. I even had a Bahama Mama slushy type drink for breakfast. Boy that was a mistake. After I ate, I fell right to sleep. Turkey does that to you, you know!!! Well, I went straight into a deep sleep and I woke up and my head was pounding like crazy!!! I immediately popped an Aleve and waited. It seemed like everything was just hitting me so hard!! Then it dawned on me what it was. so I just toughed it out because nothing whatsoever helped it. I'm over it now. Never ever have a drink before eating.

I wanted to say Rest In Peace to Maggie Daley. Maggie was the former 1st lady in Chicago. And although I no longer live in Chicago, I still feel the lost as most other Chicagoans do.

I got a strange call last night from someone I hadn't heard from in a long time. Surprise, Surpirse. Had a nice conversation, promised to keep in contact. Not much else to say about that.

It seems as if I may have to move the housing search to a different area, not totally. I'm not seeming to find anything that I want in the original area. We shall see what is available in a few weeks.

Off to do some work now.

J.R. Martinez, Rehearsals, Yet Another New Opportunity

2011-11-22T20:19:00.000-08:00

First, I'd like to say congrats to Karina and J.R. Martinez on winning the latest season of "Dancing With The Stars". They both really deserved it.

Rehearsals start next week. I'm not saying for what. Because believe it or not there are still some haters out there and I will not give them the satisfaction of taking something from me that I worked so hard to obtain. Eventually it will be posted, but not quite yet. Surrounded by a group of wonderful people.

Yet another exciting opportunity has popped up. I have been asked to be the "Spokesmodel" for a new Hip-Hop clothing boutique. We start shooting ads in February of 2012. Very excited about that. This was truly an opportunity that I never imagined would fall into my lap. Very excited.

Went to the Circus on Saturday with my youngest d.s., had a very wonderful time. I highly recommend that if you are reading this, you attend the circus. It was very exciting. I have plans on seeing the same circus again in a few weeks.

That is all for now. Have some work to do.

Exciting News!!

2011-11-10T07:30:00.001-08:00

It is official, my new company will be launching on November 21, 2011. I am so excited. I will post more information and a link to the website once it is up and running. It has been a long time coming and I've put in many hours of blood, sweat and tears for this and it is finally about to happen. I have to absolutely thank two wonderful women who have been my guides during this transition period. They have helped me along time way and I could not have asked for two better supporters.

Also, some really big news is coming your way very soon. I will announce it on January 1, 2012. A New Year..and a New Me!!! You all will never believe this. It will literally knock your socks off.

Some other news, I am and have always been a very giving person. I would give the shirt off my back. And because I have been so fourtunate, I have decided to help someone else. I am sponsoring a little 7 year old girl from the Dominican Republic. Her name is Lourdaris. You may often see or hear me thank my children, I list her as one of mine. I had already had plans on going down there for a mini-vacation/business trip. But now I have a very special reason to go down there. I am excited about this opportunity. I promise to keep you updated on this trip. See...I do have a big heart and I am also a very thoughtful person despite what people say about me.

Oh...and guess who is going to be a published author?? I think I've already posted about that on here, but it is finally going to happen. I am estimating around the first of the year, my first book will be published. The second one will follow shortly after that. I am also working on a very funny cookbook!!

Oh and the house hunting is coming along fine. I have to expand the area I am looking in. Just to see if there are any other options available. My top choice recently went off the market. My 2nd choice is still available, but I don't know for how long. So crossing my fingers that it will still be available.

That's it for now.

So busy!!

2011-11-06T10:34:00.000-08:00

Things are getting very hectic for me. With trying to buy a new house, getting ready for the holidays, etc. I just don't have a lot of time to be up on here a lot like I used to be. There are so many wonderful thigns going on in my life right now.

I have been asked to do something very important for someone. I think it is wonderful given the b.s that I've been through recently. I am excited and getting amped up about the opportunity. Not much else is going on in my life.

Post more later!!

Been Awhile!!!

2011-10-26T12:16:00.000-07:00

I've been gone awhile. So much has happened since the last time I posted. There will be a slight delay in the launch of the business. We will not launch until mid December. Why? I am assisting someone in another state with their business.

Things are going good. Will post more later.

Brrrrrrrrrrr!!

2011-09-16T07:54:00.000-07:00

It is so cold here. I guess I got so used to that West Coast weather. It is about 49 degrees here and I have a long sleeve shirt on and a warm-up jacket on and I am still cold!!! LOL!!! I am going to get back into that whole "I want to move out of Chicago" thing again!!

Everyone who really knows me, should know that I am a HUGE football fan. Even being in the Chicago area, my number one favorite team is the (whoops...can't tell you, it's the answer to one of my Yahoo secret questions!!) But I must admit that the Bears are my 2nd favorite team, they are my top team if they are not playing against my fav team. My fav player is #54, Mr. Brian Urlacher...I think that McDonald's commerical where he is running away from the camera did it for me. After all, the only reason why SOME women watch football is for the big men in tight football pants. But I've digressed, tons of people know how much I love Brian and I got all kinds of emails, IM's, etc from people this week. They all wanted to tell me how it was all over the news about Brian's mother passing. I just want everyone to keep Brian and his family in your prayers. That man is really amazing, the funeral is tomorrow and the Bears have a game on Sunday in which Brian is playing. That is really something. I don't know if I could do it.

On another note, the business plans are coming along fine. Everything is in order. We were going to launch in October. But decided to push it back to late January or early February of 2012. We want to make sure everything is in order. Big plans are in order. Already gearing up for the Grand Opening of one business. Big plans!! One of my business partners came up with the idea and at first I was hesitant about it, but thought about it over a few days and it is a wonderful idea. A great way to make a name in the business. Can't wait!!

Well that is all for now. Will post more tomorrow!!

Busy, Busy, Busy

2011-09-12T07:47:00.000-07:00

Today is busy day. Just doing lots of work for the company. Lots of reserach. Getting everything ready legalwise. Big meeting today. Excited. Lots of work to be done. Getting everything in order now, so there will be no delays. Lots of exciting plans ahead. Can't write much. Hope everyone is well.

Doing The Twitter Thing

2011-09-10T08:03:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am now doing the Twitter thing. I didn't completely understand it when it first came out. But since I am going to be involved in so many great activities, then I have to keep everyone updated. So much has happened since the last post. I can't believe the type of response I am getting from the positive things I am doing. We are finishing up the legal steps now, and as soon as they are done. I will announce them here. I am so happy. Lots of positive changes, things people never thought I would do and so much more. Will post more soon. Oh...the Twitter location is at: http://www.twitter.com/Teandrea_Watson

Please make sure you not only follow this blog, but the twitter as well. New website is coming soon, as well!!!

Talk to you all later!!!

I'm Back

2011-09-02T07:49:00.000-07:00

I have been gone for awhile. Was just able to log back into this blog. Not much to report on here. Have another blog for that, but keeping things on the hush-hush for now. I will say this, those that are responsible for what has happened to me over the past 2 years should be lawyered up, very heavily. So many lies were told and for what? For revenge? For what? What did I do that was so bad, people had to tell outragrous lies. Funny thing is, everyone contradicted themselves over and over in statements and I have copies of everything. I won't say when or where or who is first, but I'm knocking them all down. They have no clue who is going to get hit first, and I am going for everything....most of all freedom. I hope these people are prepared to answer for what they did.
