| I am so happy! |
[Aug. 30th, 2004|02:01 pm] |
I am so proud of my little brother. He is so conscious and really growing into a young man. He just made honors his last semester, he has a good job and he's a hard worker. Today I found out that he gave his life to God! I am too proud of him. It takes a lot for a young attractive black man in highschool who is slightly popular to stand on his own two feet and make such a wise decision, which may cause him to be ridiculed. I admire that in my brother. He's his own person. |

I just got off the phone with my aunt. She was telling me that she had been praying about some things and God was leading her to place money in 2 envelopes for 2 seperate people but she looked in her wallett and only had about $17. So she goes to work today and some lady that she isnt that familiar with but she knows by face and on occassion hello's, motions for her to come over to her. TELL ME WHYYY did this lady open her wallett and hand my aunt $300.00!!!! My aunt said she was so dumbfounded! The lady just kept repeating for her to take it b.c she deserved it! This is soo amazing! God is so good! It's things like this that just prove to me more and more how real God is and how if we are really obedient to his word, though we may go through things..he will always work it out for us in a way that we couldnt on our own! |

I was sitting here in my towel..b.c i love that feel of getting out the shower and the warmth that the towel brings to you, it's so comforting i could probably return back to my bed.
Anyway,I was sitting here thinking and I noticed that I really enjoy being happy. I mean I get emotional and upset at times but there are rarely times that I have an attitude. I dont know I have this weird personality but I own it,it's mine and I'm grateful. There are so many people that just get mad or stay mad just to be that way. Sometimes I know that people even get upset at me b.c i'm so happy all the time but I am just a positive person. I appreciate that about myself. There aren't too many times that I sit and think about the things that I enjoy about who I am, so I figured that I would write about it.I may need to come back and read it when I'm not having the best of days.
On another note.. I have really been taking this "growing up" thing pretty well. It's new to me b/c i was so used to being critiqued by everyone and basing my decisions upon what other people thought but I have since stop trying to just please everyone else. It was a huge leap of faith when i left Ct. I know I always spoke about it but I don't believe that people believed that I would do it. I dont care..I just laugh at them now, like I do everything else.
The other day I gave my unsolicited opinion to a friends thoughts on friendship. After I said what I thought, I realized that I really missed her and our friendship... alot. We really used to laugh and have some good conversations. Above all I think I miss her creativity. I hope that one day we can build from where we started. We both have missed out on so many things in each other's lives that I know we would have appreciated and probably benefitted from words of advice,encouragement,laughter or just a "f-him girl,move on"... things like that.
Well I think thats about it for today...Until my next borrowed hour |

Why We Love Children
1. A kindergarten student told his teacher he'd found a cat, but it was
dead. How do you know that the cat was dead?" she asked her pupil.
Because I pissed in its ear and it didn't move," answered the child
innocently. You did WHAT ? ! ?" the teacher exclaimed in surprise. You
know, "explained the boy, "I leaned over and went 'Pssst!' and it didn't
move."
2. A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes
later....."Da-ad...." "What?" I'm thirsty. Can you bring drink of
water?" "No, You had your chance. Lights out." Five minutes later:
"Da-aaaad....." "WHAT?" "I'm THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??" I
told you NO! If you ask again, I'll have to spank you!!" Five minutes
later......"Daaaa-aaaad....." "WHAT!" "When you come in to spank me,
can you bring a drink of water?"
3. An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief,
finally asked him "How do you expect to get into Heaven? "The boy
thought it over and said, "Well, I'll run in and out and in and out and
keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Dylan,
come in or stay out!'"
4. One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking
her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with
a tremor in his voice, Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The
mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said.
"I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by
his shaky little voice: "The big sissy."
5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the
children's sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One
little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat
down, the pastor leaned over and said, "That is a very pretty dress. Is
it your Easter Dress?" The little girl replied, directly into the
pastor's clip-on microphone, "Yes, and my Mom says it's a bitch to
iron."
6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old
came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower.
She said, "Mommy, you are getting fat!" I replied, "Yes, honey, remember
Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy." "I know," she replied, but
what's growing in your butt?"
7. A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, "Two
plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a
bitch is nine...." His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What
are you doing?" The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework,
Mom." "And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother
asked. "Yes," he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the
next day, "What are you teaching my son in math?" The teacher replied,
"Right now, we are learning addition." The mother asked, "And are you
teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?" After
the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two
plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four."
8. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken
Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken
Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, "..... and so Chicken Little
went up to the farmer and said, "The sky is falling, the sky is
falling!" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you
think that farmer said?" One little girl raised her hand and said, "I
think he said: 'Holy Shit! A talking chicken!'" The teacher was unable
to teach for the next 10 minutes.
9. A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr.
Sugarbrown's daughter." Her mother told her this was wrong, she must
say, "I'm Jane Sugarbrown." The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and
said, "Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?" She replied, "I thought I
was, but mother says I'm not."
10. A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the
boys?" Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're
too rough." The little girl thought about it for a few moments and
asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"
11. A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands
next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a
snack cake. The barber says to her, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair
on your Twinkie." She says, "Yes, I know, and I'm gonna get boobs too." |

I didnt really do much today. I got a phone call from my mom today talking about how I need to check in with the doctor about my eyes. I know it's a serious thing and if I dont take it seriously that I could eventually lose my eyesite. I guess the thing is, is that you really dont care to focus on things that arent that aparent to you until it becomes a problem and that problem doesnt fit in your schedule. I should really call my doctor and set up and appointment. (Yes, Cass,.... its my Glaucoma..lol)
Anyway, I think I can really get addicted to this online journal thing. I like it b.c i can't really catch up with everybody b.c of all of our schedules but I'll get to know that my friends are still doin ok, or at least functioning as best the can... It would be real ghetto if I decided to give shoutouts to the people I know on here but ... HEY... shout out to all dem peoples I knows...lol....and thank ya'll for the welcome... It felt.. GRRREAAT!..hahaha...
but yea, Liz, I think the addiction has already started.. ITS TOO LATE!! AHHHH!!! well, thats about all I can share at the moment, my life isnt that interesting at this point in the day... I'll be back another day with better topics, hopefully... I would hate it if my life was this boring..(mm...depressing thought)..Ok, I'm back. Well.. with these insightful words..(lol), I leave you with peace of mind, until the next borrowed hour...
Peace and Ease |
