Quarter Life Crisis

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
2010 IS STEADILY APPROACHING AND I'M HAVING DAILY ANXIETY OVER MY LACK OF PROGRESS. I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY GAINED 20LBS lol since starting my new J-O-B.

I am hanging out with a guy who totally isn't for me ........I mean he's cute and all but I definitely need to be around a motivator as my procastination station is not conducive to a good

The sash has arrived !!!!!!!!

Its official ladies and gents. This morning on me speedy deparature from the house I whizzed past the mail box grabbed my pile of correspondence and jumped in a dollar cab.. Wiping the glisten from my brow I hurriedly flipped through the envelopes and ciruculars to embrace a yellow padded envelope beautifully addressed Ms. Alicia from Essence Paegents . ( screams!!!) Yippee skippee. I ripped off the top of the envelope to reveal my beautiful blue silver and white. whooo hoooo onward to the hard work.

Apartment Hunting in Brooklyn New York

Now back to the drawing board. ......

What a waste of money you all are . In January of this year (2009) I decided to rent out a family home /my childhood home. After a series of interviews and a bout with a not so suprising untruthful realtor. The home was fully occupied , relatives on one floor tenant/roommates on the other. Awesome deal done whooo!

Premature celebratory mood.

My Buffalo sous-sol happened to decide that everything under the sun would irk it and have it in the most terrible of moods. Which I could live with some people can be moody and miserable who cares pay your rent and I'd be fine. But of course it didn't. Buffalo decides to pay what it can when it wants and also demand repairs . lol ? BUFFALO can we say LEAVE.

On to the relatives ....So you're just going to live here and not pay rent and theeeen as if thats not insulting also have public Ali vs. Fraiser fights in the front yard. aaaaaad SCENE you need to leave too.

lASTLY , ilk smelling tenant please clean and febreeze your iiiillllk.

But now that all the antics have played themselves out the decision is to part ways with the circus and now to battle the exponentially insane rent prices and brokers fees to live in a rat trap and or toilet.

Why is everyone posting apartments on Craigslist.com via Brokers . Brokers don't save you time and have no obligation to assist you after they put tenants in your home. So don't waste your time with them. And as a renter seeking a house you pay them at least a months rent for crap you would be able to find on your own had they not blocked acccess to that info.

BROOKLYN WHY SO EXPENSIVE!???????!!!!

Transitioning from Relaxed to Natural

It has been three months since my last relaxer and I haven't a clue how to manage my hair without blowing it straight or curling up with a hot iron or flat iron.

I have however come across a wonderful cholesterol conditioner Tea tree cholesterol from organics it boasts the versatility of being a traditional conditioner as well as a leave -in if you only use a quarter sized dollop after washing the hair . I washed last night with the intentions of trying a Bantu Knot style but it was 1am lol and I decided to put a little olive oil hair polisher lightly through the damp hair finish writing a paper and went to bed once the two textured mane had finally air dried. My hair feels alot better after this deep conditioning session but lol......style wise I had to go with pulling it back loosely and throwing on a cute brown head band.

Hair health and feel ..... score of 10
Aesthetic beauty after air dry lol ...... not so much .


After work i'll go work out... spritz with a little infusium and water to liven it all up again detangle and Bantu knot ...for real this time.

we shall see.

Taking that Hair Journey - this morning stubbed toe on Demarcation line.

In search of a new group of gal pals!!!

In a weird space lately. Moved back to Brooklyn NY in January this year and I have found it exceedingly difficult to find any gal pals to run the city with. :( No I am not close to my H.S friends as for whatever reason we all fell apart not that we'd been extra close to begin with. And of course I've only had co-workers who are so disgusted with their jobs that anything that reminds them about work after the obligatory 9 to 5 hours causes havoc on their psyches and they must retreat .

So its me and the shih tzu together as usual. Hanging out and walking around . I socialize with people I meet but I guess its rather tres taboo to exchange numbers with a female peer you aren't trying to come on to. ....Hmmmm

What's a gyal to do?

Tenants Testing my patience.....

I sometimes wonder if I would simply throw rationale to the wind and say what is exactly on my mind if I would be better received by people. I am on a landlord journey taking over the responsiblity of a family home and it is at the very least exhausting on a daily basis.

Why I wonder would anyone choose to renegotiate a signed notarized lease? Why would anyone attempt to swindle there way out of timely rental payments if that is all that is required of them? Why would anyone choose to find flaws in what they have willing accepted as sufficient.

I am searching for clarity on these issues as it is driving me up the walls. What the hell is wrong with these people?

DANE COOK BRIGHTENS MY LONG FRIDAY.........

Dane Cook and your astute observations and clever descriptions of the everday tomfoolery is wonderful. Koodos and thank you for keeping me sane on these terrible rainy dark dank weekdays in my very own cubicle jail cell.

Laughing myself into a power nap!
