21 Ditch Toxic Friends

My friendships are very important to me. Mostly because my family hasn't always been the best, they think I am strong and I can survive anything so they are never concerned with me. I tend to go to my friends for the help and support I don't get from my family, which has made some of my friends more like sisters. Lately, I have been feeling that there needs to be a change. The traits that I thought I had or that my friends should have such as being true, loyal, energetic, kind, thoughtful, and fun aren't there anymore. It gets to the point where you have to tell yourself that the reason to stay friends with someone isn't because of history. Friendships aren't one sided, you have to work hard at them. Especially as we get older and our lives change and start to look different. You tell yourself that you have to give the relationship one more try, when you see them going sour. Then you realize that the change and differences are too much. Certain relationships turn toxic and I no longer want to be in toxic relationships. Toxic relationships are the ones where your friends love to put you down, keep you down and make you feel down about yourself. That doesn't make them nasty, just human. These relationships are always about the other person, what you do to them and for them. They never see how they treat you which sucks because I am not friends with people because of what they can do for me. I try to remind myself that I love my friends to the point that I know the worst part of them and I still want to be their friend. I don't want to change or judge them. But there are those toxic friends that can't do the same for me. I'm over it and I have to remove myself from those relationships. I am taking control of the situation and if you can't support me without the backstabbing, I'm done. I can no longer do the up-front approach, it doesn't work. Toxic friends will not change their behavior they would rather turn the situation around to being about you and make everything your fault. So you have to let go and get new friends. Harsh but true. Friendships should be like-minded, happy, healthy, confident, not full of anger and aggression. I'm going to make new memories with my healthy friendships.

Loving creating new memories and making nontoxic friendships stronger.

To all my friends/sisters that love me no matter what, that are honest and not afraid to confront my flaws and theirs....I want you all to know that you will be the company I keep for life.

Sorry toxic friends but you will have to find someone else to co-sign everything you say, that will not speak up for themselves when you mistreat them and give more of themselves than you are willing to give of yourself. I can't deal with the backstabbing any longer. You picked your side now stay on it. I am not that friend anymore.

96 Get Contact Lenses

My 2nd year of college I was sitting in the back of my psych class and everything on the screen got blurry. Next came the visit to the eye doctor and then came the glasses. Which took a while to get used to but now I love them and really enjoy being able to see. Yea seeing helps a lot. Around my 27th birthday I wanted a change. Contacts sounded like a good idea. Though I was freaked out about stuff touching my eyeball, I am no punk so I got them. I put on a scene at the doctor's office of course. They love me there, I was the entertainment for the day and every time I go. I'm over it now, I put on my big girl panties and moved forward with a new look.

38 Let go of the Edge of an Ice Rink






I went ice skating for the first time this past December with my cousin Brittany. We went to the new rink outside of the Carpenter Center, it actually was fun. At first I didn't want to do it because falling is not my thing. I just couldn't let go of the edge of the rink. Kids were falling and there was too many people for my liking. My cousin wasn't very helpful, she wouldn't hold my hand or anything, she just told me to deal and falling would be the worst of it. Well of course I fell and the bruised bottom was the worst of it. It allowed me to let go because I could still get hurt holding on. It felt wonderful to let go and embrace my inner child. People always say, well some people, that a life without risk and daring is nothing. That's how it felt to let go daring and risky but if I did nothing I would not have gotten to the fun part. Eventually after a few circuits it got boring so we went to T Miller's, I love that place, for drinks. Basically I am not an ice skater but it was good to try.

94 Shape your Brows

Being a woman is hard, we have to do a lot to keep ourselves up. One thing that can take up time is plucking our eyebrows. If you have eyebrows like mines it can take up to 10 mins or more to pluck, brush and trim those suckas. Over the years I have learned to do a okay job but I get lazy and I would rather pay for someone else to do it. Let me just mention again my eyebrows are out of control always. I found this great place in chesterfield L.A Nails to get my eyebrows waxed. It was great because after getting them waxed I could even manage my brows well in between sessions. I loved it but I no longer live in chesterfield so I figured it was time to find a new place. Recently I found a new and great love in threading. It doesn't hurt anymore than plucking or waxing. It was such a good experience, I left a decent tip and if you know me I don't tip well. It was $12 which I guess is a good price. I normally pay $7 to get them waxed and they look great. Now the only reason I went was because of my living social deal where I go 3 times for $22 but I will be continuing to go even when my deal is over. If you are interested you should give it a try too, at least once.

81 Keep a Diary

I really don't want to keep a diary to me it's not really worth it. It was useful when I was an angry emotional teenager, but after thinking about it for a while I figured it would be a great way to document, when I complete something on my no regrets list. So I can now just check this off and move on to the next thing on the list.

Oprah’s last show is going to be on today, who do you think is going to be her last and final guest? I think it’s Tupac.



I Just wanted everyone to know that I’m having a pool party on 06/05/11. Bring Your Own Pool.....



Umm.....Can you repeat the question.......I plead the 5th.


Yeah keep him on the team, but definitely keep looking for more players to enter the draft.


Yeah, I don’t know about that. I mean what if you waste 60 days when you know after day 59 that he would only be good for the thing that your not supposed to give him until day 90. I mean that’s just stupid.



U GL and I GP.....GLL....that’s our mission!
