Hurricane preparedness

Got my mani on and some white Hennessy on deck. (Also got some more necessities like water, coffee, cooked & Canned food)

The Man I Love

Billie Holiday

Someday he'll come along, The man I love
And he'll be big and strong, The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile, I'll understand
Then in a little while, He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home, That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam, Who would, would you
And so all else above
I'm dreaming of the man I love

Red Hooker Nails

Red red nail polish (color is red bottom shoes from LISI cosmetics & getting Ms. Piggy with it from OPI) apparently chipping happens when working hard.

Oh it is almost the weekend again. Weekends are something that make me happy for no other reason than it being the weekend - even if I have no plans. Even if I plan to run amuck. Yay weekends.
But before the weekend arises:

Gemini Horoscope for October 24, 2012

Start exploring the places, people and things that are foreign to you -- from food to music to politics, what other countries have to offer will suddenly be fascinating to you. Things have settled down a bit in your own life, so you will need something to stimulate your mind and get you thinking about new things. A trip to an ethnic restaurant or a few minutes spent listening to another country's folk music will do just that. You're open minded and eager for something different.

that's all...

today i am home sick.
No coffee but there are very many thoughts on
what is going on in this world.
in my world
in my mind.
tomorrow is a big day.
there is an all staff meeting (ok)
there is interviewing (ok)
there is my mentoring thing (ok)
and there is grandma's surgery (__)
there is very much prayer, and very much worry on how this will go
and what will happen
and how folks will happen

very very many thoughts.
that's all...

It is Thursday.
10/11/12.
The Count from Sesame Street would have loved this day....
It is  also the day before the weekend happiness is supposed to kick in. Good good good. Luckily all my relaxation (from trip to St. Thomas) has not worn off yet. I is in the perpetual state of ohm. Not quite all the way relaxed but relaxed enough and knowing enough that I need a new bed.
Changes at work: a colleague of mine got the managers job that JJD left. Sweet. And there are 2 folks that are leaving within days of each other. They were cool people's if nothing else. Soo this means mega changes in the way the job world works. Wonder what's next? Still no word on the AD position, but right now that is not my focus. Odd..

coffee thought.. .as I am traveling.


So bro #1 got his own place.
His own place.
 He is uber excited and cannot wait to be able to have CG at his apt. I am really really happy for him because he was like this is his "first real place" not a roomie situation/ not a sleeping on someones couch situation but his first real place. Nice... and the fact that it is down the block (golden child's building) is just like icing on the cake that he baked as he knows this area and is back with family in a manner of speaking.
Bro #2 is in "relationship bliss" as he is living with his girlfriend.  Now, save for the fact that every weekend they have had an argument, a heated discussion, a fight, a debate, a disagreement a non meeting of the minds and this cohabitation stuff neither of them has done before- it is surprising they are fairing this well.  Oh and they need to learn/ get/have better communication skills because in my opinion their communication skills suck. Then again, most people don't say what they mean and/or mean what they say- they go about this world just BS'ing the world and wondering why they getting BS back (not that I am saying these two do that...I digressed). But things are looking up for the fam. Grandma is set to have surgery on the 23rd and prayers are needed wanted and mandatory.
And me?? Well you know Me? You kinda know my deal- the 10% I can share. The other 89% I can't share and that last 1%- I just don't know
that's all...

up and above the clouds...

Location: Somewhere flying over the Atlantic ocean

Right now I m about an hour away for St. Thomas USVI- which is good because my arse is about and hour away from being numb on these non cushy American Airlines cramped seats. (Now, while I am a curvy girl I am in no way too big to sit in a seat here however these seats are pushing it even for the small chicks in us all)  In all my years of flying , one thing that never has happened to me happened today- and I can truly say it was moving and humbling to say the least. 

TSA gathering

While we were waiting in the Miami airport there were a bunch of TSA officers surrounding our terminal.  Now, being in a post 9/11 time and everyone is a suspect when flying and the officers and police personnel with loaded guns were showing up, I got concerned. So we asked what was happening at our terminal. Unfortunately we learned that an officer (Colvin Georges) was killed in the line of duty- and his body was being air-lifted on our plane back to his family in St. Thomas. 

There was a bit of a press conference and a lot of officers paying their respect to the family.  Once the ceremony on the tarmac was completed, the plane loaded, we were off and as we were taxing down the runway, the plane was sprayed with hoses.  It was sad, humbling and awe inspiring at the same time.  Continued prayers and blessing for that family and all the families of those who serve, protect, watch over, rescue, and maintain civility for us all.

Life sometimes sucks the life outta you.
You go home drained.
You wake up exhausted.
You start again towards the end.
Just random.
