I snagged this from The Dreamy One. I thought it was a nice blog idea, and so did she; since she snagged it from someone else, loll.
I miss…
- My mom telling me not to go around the corner while riding my bike on a Saturday afternoon.
- Jumping in my bed during the middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.
- Going to the skating ring every Friday and buying pickles so big, we had to eat them with two hands.
- Sitting next to my bestfriend during church and passing notes back and forth.
- Playing pencil break.
-Taking school pictures and stealing the little combs provided by the photographers.
- Collecting rocks from the school playground.
- Watching old VHS tapes at my cousins house and waiting for my Aunt to finish her homemade french fries.
- Hugging my big brother.
- Playing games with my niece and nephew.
- Going to my old church.
- The long lunch break during the all day; 3 day bible conventions.
- Collecting movie ticket stubs.
- Going to class.
- Doing homework.
- My mama's home cooked meals.
- My parents telling me to clean my room.
- Talking on the phone with my cousin for hours about video games.
- Writing my first boyfriends name on every single paper I could get my hands on.
- Splash Friday
- Dragging my mom to the neighborhood pool and telling her "just 5 more minutes"
- Basketball practice
- My first car.
- Slamming my book down on the desk when my old history teacher use to fall asleep in mid sentence.
- Paris Coffee and Tenkia Carter; we were 3 da hard way.
- Anticipating my high school graduation.
- Being loved unconditionally.
- Going out on a real date.
- Having sex with strings attached. I miss actually feeling something.
- Writing poetry recited from the heart and not the mind.
- Another Bad Creation
- Fame City
- Astroworld and Waterworld
- Discovery Zone
- Childhood
- Not having a worry in the world.
Whewwww this list can go on and on. I enjoyed writing this very much. I actually dropped a few tears, because I realize how much things have changed in my life and how far I have come.
What do you miss??

I didn't get to write yesterday, because I just really wasn't feeling it. I literally started out writing the same blog about 6 times, but I ended up deleting every single draft. My moods are so up and down now. One day I'm positive and happy and then the next I'm gloomy and blue. Whatever phase this is that I am going through I hope it passes soon. I want for my days to be stable again emotionally. I have come to some very sad realities over the course of the past two days, and I'm just trying to find the best way to deal with them. I know the way that I choose to deal with situations in my life can determine how it all plays out. Right now I just don't know. I know the thoughts that I'm having can't be all that healthy, so I'm trying to pray and shake them off. Anyway, this is what my horoscope said today;
Aquarius - May 25, 2008
Going with the flow may not necessarily appeal to you today, dear Aquarius. This is one of those times when you may want to be the one fish swimming upstream while everyone else is heading downstream. Feel free to go your own way, regardless of what the rest of the school has to say about it. You may get pressured by your loved ones to act a certain way or go somewhere special. Don't do these things just to please someone else. Do what pleases you.
This morning all I wanted to do was stay in my bed all day. I had plans for the day, but I watched the clock circle hour after hour. I didn't feel like being around anyone today. My sister called me to ask if I still wanted to hang out. I didn't feel like getting up, but I pulled all that I had in me and get out of bed to go pick up my big Sis. I was in a zone the entire ride over to her house. My surroundings were sunny and the skies were blue, but I had a dark cloud over my world. That was until I saw my Sister's smiling face when she came outside the front door. I said a quick prayer before she actually got in the car; asking God to give me the strength and see to it that I enjoy the time spent with my Sister. And I did...
We decided to drive out to our parents house. My Mom and Dad cooked and we ate, watched movies and talked. I laughed and truly enjoyed myself. I even set up my Sister's blog so that she can start writing her as well. She's so excited about it. She's such a spiritual woman and sometimes when I read her words they truly lift me up.
I have one more day off of work and I hope that I'm lifted completely out of this funk I'm in. I'm still at my parents house right now, and I do look forward to another day spent with my family. They have proved to be my sanity throughout this whole emotional down spiral I'm going experiencing. It's midnight and I don't feel like sleeping, so I'll probably do a little bit more writing and read a few blogs.
I have been on my own for well over a year now and I still don't have any furniture. I didn't want to spend money putting furniture in my old place, because I hated that dump. I wanted to save up money and decorate my new place, in which I'm in now and turn it into my dream apartment. So far, so good. The layout 780 sq ft 1 bedroom 1 bath is perfect for me. The closet is gigantic and the kitchen is wide open! I was in love the complex the first time I stumbled upon it looking for KFC. I claimed it as soon as I laid eyes on it. I went to check them out and tour the place and this only escalated my determination. Come to find out I got a discount on the rent for being a Comcast employee, so I was stoked all the way.
So far those are my choices. I think I'll be able to work with those in my place. This weekend I plan to go out and take a look at them in person and possibly make a purchase. I'm not the decorating type, but I've been actually having fun with this. Pretty soon, I'll have my dream apartment and I'll be living the good life!
I've been trying to buy things to contribute to the decoration of it every week when I have time. My bedroom is basically done; the only thing that's missing is a painting of some sort and a TV stand for the flat panel. I'm in the process of working on the bathroom now. I've decided to go with earth tone colors, because it is out of my norm. I've always been a black and white girl. I wanted to add a little color to my life in any way possible. There was a furniture store that I was planning on buying my living room and dining room set from, but the place closed down a couple weeks ago. However a co-worker of mine hipped me to another place right down the street from my apartment. I was looking on the website today and found a few pieces that I might choose between. Check them out.
I like this one...
This is actually my number one choice!
Dig this one...
Dig this one too...

Being that the quote of the week is so darn long, I'll just get right into it.
That sounds lovely doesn't it? Sadly, everyone's home isn't this pleasant. I can't say that I had a horrible household growing up. Although, it wasn't as functional as it could've been; my best memories as a child are the moments spent at home. I think that way now that I've experienced the outside world a bit away from home. Problems and issues that I had with my parents could have been alot worse and I recognize that fact. I no longer blame my childhood as an excuse for my present. When I was living there, it was a totally different story, loll. However, even back then when things went on at school or something, I always recited those "I wanna go home" words. So there was indeed some comfort that came from within those four walls. In fact, when I have troubles and worries in my own household being an adult, I will get this sudden urge to go back home and just lay in the bed with my parents. Or just be near them for an extended amount of time and hear them tell me that everything will be alright. Sometimes, I'll stay so long that my dad begins to wonder if I was evicted and did I even still have a home to go to.
I didn't come from a household full of brothers and sisters; it was just me, my mother and my father. I grew up the only child in the home, which had its pros and cons. I wouldn't say that I was smothered with attention and affection, but I can say that I didn't have to worry about sharing it, loll. I probably could've used a little bit more listening ears and "I love yous", but all in all I think I turned out to be a pretty good woman. Well, despite what some may think!
Home is a beautiful place in my opinion. I know there are alot of people out there that will quickly disagree with me. Especially in today's time. All these broken homes, unwanted, abused and molested children, unemployed individuals, domestic violence and so on and so forth. Some might say, that their home isn't the best place on earth to reside and would give anything just to get away. It's not supposed to be like that though, and my prayers go out to the people that suffer within their home. Much respect goes out to the parents still maintaining that healthy household, and keeping up with a place that their kids, family and friends can call a home of joy and love.
I didn't get a chance to go home this weekend, but next weekend I'm packing the overnight and spending some quality time with my folks. Honestly right now, I do wanna go home...
What is home?
"A roof to keep out the rain?
Four walls to keep out the wind?
Floors to keep out the cold?
Yes, but home is more than that.
It is the laugh of a baby,
the song of a mother,
the strength of a father,
warmth of loving hearts,
lights from happy eyes,
kindness, loyalty, comradeship.
Home is first school and first church for young ones, where they learn what is right, what is good, and what is kind, where they go for comfort when they are hurt or sick; where joy is shared and sorrow is eased; where fathers and mothers are respected and loved, where children are wanted; where the simplest food is good enough for kings because it is earned; where money is not as important as loving-kindness; where even the tea kettle sings from happiness. That is home. God bless it!" - Anon.
