  stuff...
So this is going to be a post about random stuff....
Number one is my new cell phone! I constantly drop the darn thing b/c it's attatched to my hip...well I broke the hinge on one side and the top part was wanting to come off. Since it's my only phone, Peach got to get a new one! And according to the guy at Verizon, a "great deal and the cadillac of samsung phones." LOL I got the new v cast phone with blue tooth technology. So this phone can play music if I want it to and I got a free wireless headset to go with my phone for FREE! Regularly $50. WOO HOO! It also has a spot for a memory card for pics! This is where the card for playing music would go. If you go to verizonwireless.com it'll pop up as one of the promotions that's going on. I had it downloaded and thought better of it, so it was deleted.
Number two is my cruise. I have decided that WEDNESDAY'S will be cruise update/info day. So today's 1st installment will be somewhat of a background on who I am going with, etc. I am going with my best friend back home , Amanda. I think God had it planned for me to take a trip. I had been thinking about it, then Amanda called one night and said she needed to get outta dodge, so we decided to take the vacation together we had been talking about doing for a while. A lady at her work told her about this tavel agent friend who could get us a deal on a cruise, and she did! She gave us some options: 2 royal carribbean...mexico and jamaica, along with miami and key west, would've been our destinations. The 3rd option was Celebrity cruise lines from Miami to Key West to Georgetown, Cayman Islands, on the Zenith ship. We chose to go with Celebrity, the Zenith ship. Guess at what we are paying for this cruise...a prize for who gets closest to the actual price! LOL HA! If you go to yahoo and type celebrity cruise lines, it brings up the website for the cruise lines. If you go under plan your destination you can chose Zenith and take a virtual tour. Next week I'll let ya in on the latest news and what's going on with planning, etc. And I will let ya know who got closest to the price we are paying!!! he he
Number 3, I am off work this week and enjoying time with my boys! (aka Braxton and Owen, my nephews)
Have a great rest of the day fellow bloggers!

 
  Saturday's date, esp. for Sunny :)
Since you all missed my dating updates and such, this is for you! I had a date Saturday with a guy named Kevin. We ate at applebees where we talked for 2 hours before going to see When A Stranger Calls. Okay movie. Great time. Cute how nervous he was :) Cute how he leaned in to talk and then grabbed my hand. Cute how it was obvious he wanted a kiss but Peach doesn't do that on a first date. I'll keep ya posted for sure :)
 
  Dana moves...
Friday was not a good day AT ALL!!!! I worked till 5:30 to be prepared for when I go back to work next week. I then had to say good-bye to mi amiga mejor (my best friend in spanish) Dana. Dana is my best friend besides Penguin, and the one I have hung out with the most the past 2 years(plus we worked together) because we were the only ones not attatched. Well she went and got attatched (how dare she, right?!! he he). She moved back home to be closer to her man and get engaged within the year. I am really going to miss her. She was a big part of my life because we were together so much at work and after work during the week. We had our weekly "dates" he he that consisted of walking in the big park in the city and then going to eat. I am going to have to adjust with her not being in the city anymore. At least Penguin hasn't left me!!! I shudder at the thought! She and Dana are like my sisters, and will always be a big part of me. Penguin has been through sooo much with me, and been there from the beginning when we both moved to the city almost 4 years ago. Can you believe almost 4 years Penguin???????? CRAZY!
So I tried Friday to be very upbeat for Dana. She has been worried about me and how I would take her moving from the get go, so I wanted and she needed me to be strong. I have been pretty okay though. I am happy for her, and glad she is happy with her decision. I will miss her, but haven't focused on it much. Just tried to be supportive. We both know we'll visit lots and we have a friendship to last for ages :) I have tried to focus on that and how happy she'll be when we talk about her moving, too :) This is what God meant for her life right now. We truly feel that way.

I will admit I got in a funk friday and was a grouch, being difficult. I had to make a quick visit that night to say bye and then leave (which I felt bad about). I had to deal with city traffic during rush hour (YIKES! Good thing I got the insurance thing worked out!) Then I had a sinus headache. Then my family was calling about my heading home then due to the weather there. So much going on, to think about....I was on overload.

Things got better on the drive home...called Dana and aplogized about the quick visit and then leaving....she as afraid I was mad or something at her. I told her everything that was going on, and that I needed to leave when I did to stay strong and not cry. We have talked since then, and she seems great. I told her I saw a visit to char-town in the near future for me he he

Oh, adult friendships....they are hard to deal with. First let me "define" adult friendships in Peach terms he he. These are friendships that we have as adults, that are more meaningful than the ones we had in high school maybe. They have more depth to them. I thought that I dealt with them when I had moved to the city. You know, learning to keep in touch with those friends back home with calls and emails, and dealing with not having them be a constant in my life anymore. Well, not a constant like they had been, anyway. No more seeing them alot, talking to them daily. I then thought I had learned adult friendships when most of my friends got married. I understood that their lives had changed, they had new responsibilities, and new goals. I also got that I wouldn't see them as much, and was totally okay with that. I love seeing them happy and settled! I think my uncle's funeral and Dana moving have brought this concept full circle for me though. These things have taught me that it doesn't matter that you talk to your friends daily so much or see them alot as much. It's nice but not what adult friendships are about. They are about having lifelong friends that will be there for you to cry to and give comfort when someone near and dear to your heart dies. They will be there to share in the joy of your wedding. They will be there when you become a parent. They will be there when you need them, no matter what. These are the things that matter in a friendship as an adult, not so much who can go shopping or go out (though these are great!) . I have vowed to do better at keeping these frienships alive and proving that I can be one of these friends to those select few I call my best friends. I want to be to be to my friends what Cherie is to my parents. She set them up so She is always there for the big stuff in their life. However, they do not have to talk often. She is there for funerals. She is there for the big stuff pretty much. My best friend back home Amanda is definitely that to me alrady. She and I don't talk daily, but she was at the funeral home when Uncle J. passed, checking on me and my fam. Dana and Penguin have shown they are this type of friend, too. So have others :) I think this stuff matters so much to me is that I didn't know good, true friends until I got to college. Therefore, the few friends I have are very inportant and valued, plus all very near to me. PLus I am a cheesy sap LOL
I hope that each of you have a multitude of these types of friends in your life. Friends like the aformentioned ones are one-in-a-million, and ones to be cherished. I know I cherish mine! And take comfort in that you at least have one-GOD! How awesome!

  Double Posting...
Okay, so it's my 2nd post today. I just had to post about this though, he he
So earlier I posted about needing retail therapy. Since I am going on a cruise in April with my best friend from back home, I wanted and needed a bathing suite. BAD IDEA!!!! THE BELLY FACTOR IS BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I said that starting tomorrow it is all soup and slim fast for Ms. Rolley Poley here, he he. This size 6-8 lady with some pudge is getting back down to her size 2-4 from last year at about this time, darn it!!!!!!!! Tomorrow will be joining the gym. Tonight will be lots of crunches. Tomorrow will be slim fast buyin time, too. I will become one with the fishies and be "swimming" due to all the water I will be drinking.
I am gonna pray, too. That's the most important thing. God will take care of my needs, no matter what they might be. I love him for that :)
So, I am getting back to my natzi self dear friends with eating and my food. Don't laugh when I show up with my own food at your house. Don't laugh if I pass up eating out other than the weekends. My 5'0 frame can't be lookin like this anymore!!!!


Oh and I figured out how I can work vajayjay into my blog!!!!!!!! It's disgusting when trying on bathing suits and thinking about whose vajayjays have tried it on too...YUCK!!!!!!!!!!! I hate trying bathing suits on!!!!
 
  Patience is indeed a virtue...
and one I SOOOO do not have today for whatever reason. A few of my kids are being incredibly needy and acting like they have forgotten everything...NO PATIENCE! My counselor gets an attitude when I speak to her about a recurring problem with a child....NO PATIENCE!
I seriously need to get some since I have 3 minutes left to pick up my students from art.
Maybe I should get some more sleep tonight???? Maybe PMS early? Just one of those days? Whatever it is, I need to pray that I get some for the rest of the day!!!



I am in serious need of retail therapy this afternoon....maybe Penguin and I can get some in...

Okay, so the past month I have been seeing this great guy. I was very excited about him...we had so much in common, had fun together, everything seemed great about him and us. Well that all took a turn for the worst this past Saturday. After going line dancing, we go back to his place. I was going to stay there, but behave myself (aka-no sex). Well he had other ideas, and got an attitude and all when I refused all his reasons for why we should sleep together. He wasn't happy, but still seemed okay. So that , plus some stuff he told me, kinda freaked me out....I was going to try to talk to him about it all though, be all mature and stuff he he Well, I haven't talked to him in over 2 days. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why, huh?
That kind of guy has no place in my life, AT ALL.. I deserve so much more than that. I deserve someone who respects the fact that since my baptism on Christmas Day, I am a born-again virgin, and celebacy is the only way for me until the words "I Do" come out of my mouth. I had said that before, but this time with God and my faith to lean on, I am going to hold true to that. I want and and need a good Christian guy that has the same morals and values as me, so that this won't be a problem later. I want a guy to encourage my faith and my relationship with God...not try to destroy it. Maybe I am being too religious, but oh well....God died for ME , with NAILS in him-how horrible! But he did it out of LOVE. He deserves ALOT, and that includes my faith and love.
Please don't take this as being judgemental...I would never EVER do that. These are just my own personal beliefs and how I plan to live my life. No matter what, I love all my friends on here, and it's not my job to pass judgement.
