Travel Chronicles: Vancouver

Flew into Seattle- stayed for a night and drove to Vancouver. Wonderful trip! Very freeing for my mind and spirit. Places we ate: Zeeks Pizza- Seattle Rolls Kitchen- Sushi Vancouver Fat Burger- Yaletown Serious Pie- Seattle Ribs- Korean BBQ El Furniture Warehouse- Whistler Village (The donuts OMG) Grassroots Pizza- Whistler Village Nature is awesome- it constantly reminds me of God's greatness. The level of imagination, how everything works together, the beauty, the colors, the complexity and simplicity- seeing mountains up close and REAL SNOW! I am Texas born and bred so snow is a figment of our imagination we get slushed ice lol. Granville Island- wonderful shopping!! Cascadia soaps(purchased) made with goats milk and oils I bought like 5 bars! I love soap- weird...The fresh fudge, unwaxed apples! I was in market heaven. Capilano Suspension Bridge: AHHHHH I crossed it... I was totally scared going across but I looked down and the view was breathtaking. I wante...

The Anti-thesis to my feminism

So it is 9:38pm here in rainy Seattle. As I await my flight to DFW- I want to drop some knowledge on you. Feminism by definition is  the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.  So the portion I want to focus on is the social aspect. I could argue this from several angles inclusive of the viewa of the beyhive and our independence from men. But I am not. I want to argue this from the social aspect of our intwined dependence of each other. So being a 90's era baby I fell in love with the mantra of anything you can do I can do better!  My inner competitor showed all through elementary from spelling bees to playing football and running track. I can be faster, stronger and smarter than any boy... And I believed that with every fiber of my being and for the most part I was successful in my beating of the boys. That was until middle school- when they suddenly were taller than me and stronger than me.... My interest shifted ...

Sharing: My Weekend

As promised- I wanted to share a few pictures with you all of the Valentine's Bash- hosted by yours truly this weekend for the children.. It was a success and we raised the funds needed to aid them in their next sponsored event. Here you go!!

Joys of Valentines Day

Being single with Valentine's Day on the horizon sucks right? Well not for me, I am refocusing my energies into positive vibes for others. So No, I will not receive a new outfit, shoes, chocolates or even flowers this year- maybe if my daddy decides I still need validation from him- He always buys me valentines gifts *Daddy's Girl* but I don't think he counts anymore at 26 :-) So no guy and no gifts for me but I will be throwing a Valentine's Bash for the kids. Neka Luv the Kids. I decided that I would focus all my creative juices and some funds into making their Valentine's Day fun. I wish some grown up would have thrown us a Valentine's Bash- like how fun is that- not worried about a play gf/bf  just going to have fun with friends on the day my parents were probably creating my siblings lol- One was born beginning of  November--- Calculating? A cookie bar, mocktails, music, DIY photo booth and food! I think I will have more fun than the kids lol. Pictu...

Travel Chronicles: City of Angels

Awesome trip! I spent my weekend in LA and oh what a wonderful time I had. Port only cost like 10.00 there! I was in paradise literally- Long Beach not LA. But is it not wonderful to have friends in diff states- no hotel cost and free tour guide! OF course I went to Hollywood- I had to! Rolls Royce's and Bentley's everywhere- no wonder people dream big here- you see it on the daily basis and you want it!  I visited the LA County museum of art- some great collections- could not do it all in one day. Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles- of course I went! Now being from Dallas and all I wish the chicken tasted like Rudy's but hey everybody cannot put crack on the chicken lol. The waffle was delish though! and the gravy on the smothered chicken MANNNNNN- reminded me of Liz Thompson's pan gravy- Can I get a biscuit with that? But  expensive! They were taxing 7 bucks for french fries- where they do that at? LA apparently. So Cali is off of my vision board list and it is st...

WTH did I just watch

So I am going to need to Netflix to screen these movies when they decide to show them to the world. Today, I watched 2 movies and when they ended I said WTH did I just watch? The Overnight- so I thought this was going to be a romantic comedy of sorts. Like Why did I get married- my spouse cheated- we reconciled type movie----- ohhhhh was I in for a surprise. Young couple moves to Cali, wife works and husband is a stay at home dad... sort of backwards to me, but they are looking to make new friends in this new home of theirs. Voila- a friend appears for both them and their son over a bag of gummi worms- Going great so far.  They get invited to a family dinner of pizza and wine and friends. The children automatically hit it off- best fran!! The hosting couple suggest that they put the boys to sleep their and continue their conversation- they are connecting- why not.? So Mr Jack of all trades puts the children to sleep like with piano playing, humidifiers and incense- magical...

Did I?

Did I hurt your feelings when I said it like that? Did I waste my time trying to keep it running like that? Now you got a lot to say Did I really mean it when I said that? Did I? Dressed up walking in a crowd but its you on my mind Thinking it could be different, but maybe we missed it. Should've been us headed to LA... we were crazy but amazing Could've been the real thing....now we will never know for sure Should've been us.... Don't settle for less or infidelity Now I done switched up on ya.... what you want from me Can't let you get one up on me Sorry you not the one ..... Don't-                                          Be Sorry Take a look at myself in the mirror thinking how did I let myself get here You drug my heart through the ground and left it all battered and bruised Done fighting this battle with you, can't keep going in circles Circles- Round ...
