All we ever talk about is partying, FASHION and men.....
This summer starts my internet shopping spree....not really sure how that is going to turn out but I am definitely going to give it a try. I just feel like you can't find anything in the stores anymore and if you find something, everyone else has it on.
Things that I will be looking for are long dress and skirts in bright solid colors or all over prints.
Sites that I will frequent:
Modcloth.com
Forever21.com
lulus.com
onestopplus.com
target.com
charlotterusse.com
Torrid.com
So away we go.....

All we ever talk about: Something else
March 3, 2011
I went to the Virgina Museum of Fine Arts to see "When we were colored" in the Leslie Creek Theater.
For those who haven't seen this movie, it is a book by Clifton L. Taulbert made into a movie directed by Tim Reid. It's the story of a young boy and the community of people that influenced his life from childhood until young adulthood. This story is told during the time of segregation until the civil rights moment. It is such a compelling story and if you haven't read the book or seen the movie you should.
By my surprised when I arrived at the Theater they had some special guest speaker's which happened to be Tim Reid, his wife Daphne Maxwell Reid and Richard Roundtree. These three people are so amazing to me, it was just incredible to listen to them speak about life and the movie industry.
My favorite quote of the evening came about when Tim Reid was explaining how they had to recreate a cotton field when they couldn't find one. It was July and there would be no cotton until August. He had a crew of all white guys glue cotton on a 7 acre field of surviving stock in Dune NC. To this he said, "We took it off and they have to put it back."
Great movie and great conversation.....

Life and times of Love: 2011 Goals
Save money to travel in 2012: Decided on the trips (Vegas and Miami) now I have to save the money.
Life and Times of Love: 2011 Goal- Ran 10k (Check)
I’m not a runner, haven’t been a runner since high school. Yet I took on the task of running the 10k. I tried my best to follow a training schedule put together buy my roommate, yet after a few weeks the motivation just wasn’t there. I was not going to let that defeat me. I would not and could not give up because I set a goal and I was going to achieve it. The 1st few weeks were full of pain, ever part of my body ached. I was sore in places I didn’t know I could be sore. I tried to involve strength training in my schedule thinking that would help with the pain but still it didn’t. Finally I came to the conclusion that I should get a massage. Bad idea! My massage therapist tried to convince me that maybe running just wasn’t for me due to the fact I was still in pain after 3 weeks of training. At this point I was really discourage but I am not quitter so I didn’t give up I just complained more. My roommate trying to be a good friend helped a little by encouraging me the best she could which to a point was getting on my nerves…..haha….So I continued to train, not hard but I trained. And on April 2, 2011 I ran the 10k! I’m not going to lie it was still hard because before training I didn’t run at all. Around 3.5miles I lost motivation and thought about walking but I didn’t, I ran the entire thing and I feel so accomplished. Does this mean I am going to run the half marathon or a marathon….no. What that means is that now I enjoy something that I used to enjoy. Running is now a part of my life, at least 2 days a week.

All we ever talk about is partying, fashion and MEN
My friend and I were talking one night and he told me that he feels girls love bad boy. He feels that women take and take but keep going back to them. See he used to be a nice guy but a girl did him wrong and now he is a ass hole and he feels that girls love it. I believe that is half way true but no girl really wants to end up with the cocky ass hole. We want the nice guy with a bad boy swagger. Makes sense right.....
So he goes on to tell me about how good guys finish last because most girls are a product of their bad relationships. We are.....we have a cycle and we tend to follow it until either we are done/ over it or some guy comes a long and break it. We want to learn from our mistakes but truth be told the old saying "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me," is right. Shame on us, we go through this over and over again, saying love is the reason. Through it all we really don't want a guy that will keep treating us bad and hurt us just because he is afraid of getting hurt. We want to be in something safe or something we can control. I don't believe that love is safe and our lives are not our own to control. So let's not let our fears hurt others.
In the end of the conversation we couldn't agree....He wants to continue being the ass hole and I refuse to continue to let guys treat me like I am unworthy.
