on point!

I'm back. had a wonderful week-end in Fort Myers. It feels so good to travel. Hope you guys will be headed to Dance Africa this week-end in Brooklyn. lots of fun people and fun stuff. I'm fortunate to be attending the opening night reception. This will be a great event for you nappy heads like myself, so many beautiful people. See you there!

and off i go..........

You guys i'm so excited. I'm scheduled to have my sl's on June 2, I just can't wait. You know, i heard somewhere that they do them better in Jamaica, i thought about that for a while, even contemplated buying a ticket and going there to start off. Is that crazy?

Anyway.........i'll be in Florida this week-end having a good time with my family, will try to post some pics when i come back

The house of my dreams in GA

another day, another..........

hey there,

thought i'd let you guys in on to the books i've recently purchased for me and KJ (my 8 year old son) on amazon and plan on reading

for me:
*Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
*She's come undone by Wally Lamb
*River, cross my heart by Breena Clark
*Some Love, Some Pain, Sometime by J. California Cooper (currently reading)
*Genevieve by Eric Jerome Dickey

for KJ
*The old woman who named things by Cynthia Rylant
*An angel for Solomon by Cynthia Rylant
*The Trumpet of the Swan by EB White
*Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
*Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
and
*Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell (he's currently reading)

I paid a heck of a lot of money on shipping, thought if i bought all the books from one seller (greatbuy books), they'd go easy on the shipping, couldn't have been more wrong. But the books were cheap (in most cases less than a dollar) but in good condition.

You guys let me know if you've read any of them and your thougths.

Most recently read:
Davinci Code (yep, went there)
White Oleander
The Bible (specifically Luke, you guys should read Luke 12 verse 22-31)
drawing a blank on the ones before those, will let you know.

Welcome

Well, thanks for visiting my little corner on the net. The theme of my blog is tryin', tryin' to live, tryin' to love (or win at this love thing), tryin' to be a good mama to my 8 year old darlin' son, tryin' to make a name for myself, tryin' to stay away from lethal man, tryin, tryin, tryin. I hope that those of you who visit my blog will not hesitate to leave comments or make suggestions on anything i post. A little about me (for those of you who don't know me) I'm originally of Caribbean descent, but living in the US for the past 20 years, i've managed (yey!) to finally get my undergraduate degree in Health, still tryin' to pursue a nursing degree. I have a beautiful 8 year old son, a lovely mother, some wonderful friends and a decent job. Right now, tryin' to save some money to move to ATL (some day). Next month i have an appointment to have some sisterlocks done on my hair, really looking forward to that.

Will catch up with ya later!
