Yep, it is after midnight and I am once again, just getting ready to go to bed. I had 6o vocabulary, definitions and sentences to complete tonight. It's my own fault for not getting started sooner and my phone kept ringing. I received some tickets to go see EVE tonight but couldn't do so due to the task at hand. I may procrastinate but I know how to shut it down.
Work was a pretty good day, I did some direct and remote monitoring today and it was pretty easy. Though I thought remote monitoring would be the easiest b/c I don't have to talk to anyone, I actually prefer the direct.
Anyway yall.....i'm super sleepy so i'll play catch up with yall tomorrow.

Sigh....
Today was quite a busy Monday. I had my first meeting with the new contract i'm on today to go over questions we will be asking CSRs. It was a productive meeting, there were a lot of good questions asked. Before the meeting, our database went down. I was happy because it gave me time to introduce the Project Directors new assistant to everyone and go over some basic rules, policies, and procedures.
I had class tonight and it was pretty good if only he would stick to the book and let us ask questions and interact as a class but the professor is so FREAKIN BORING!!!!! He always says we're going to get out early and we end up getting out at 9:30. Tonight was a miracle.....he let us leave at 9:00.
After I left class I headed to the gym. Today marks the first day of me re-starting my work out. I was a slacker all of July with all the rippin and runnin I was doing but i'm back now. I may be going to Florida in November and I want to be sure I have my swimsuit body still. I did 1.5 on the treadmill and 10 flights at level 5 and s flights at level 7 and 5 flights at level on the stair master. I am determined to hit that every time I enter the gym, starting at 5 minutes a week. I will increase the amount each week or until it is at a max for me. I'll be there tomorrow after work with my game face on.......
Toodles until then

Come and go
Happy hour was nice on Friday. It had been a while since I went out with co-workers but it was a good time as usual. I got there late so I only had one drink, but that was all I needed. We weren't there to late but it was just enough time to enjoy each others company outside the office.
It's funny how you can be waiting months for an event to arrive but when it gets here it is over so quickly. This weekend was the Summer Madness Cookout and after party. As usual, it was some good eatin', everything was delicious. They be grillin they pants off every year and that fried fish is to kill for. This year we were at a different park than we usually go to and had a little hatin' from the police but it was still a good time. It was really hot too this time, I had to get outta there earlier than I typically would've....couldn't stand the heat anymore, 2 hours was my max.
The cabaret was nice, the DJ from The Street was spinnin and everybody was groovin. There was a lot going on inside the ballroom and outside. I didn't have anything to drink, not even water, it was $5..... that's ridiculous. There was some characters in there. I tend to dance on my own and I don't like nobody all up on me unless we came in there together. There was this guy that came out on the dance floor right before a jam ended and went to slow music. He grabbed me after asking if I wanted to dance. As I got closer to him, not only was he super skinny, skinnier than me, but he also smelled like Cheetos or feet or something. I had to hold my breath the whole time I danced with him only taking baby breaths when I had no choice. I should've walked right off the dance floor on his behind but I didn't, I sucked it up in order to avoid being rude. As sooooooon as that song was over, I booked up off that dance floor before he could even begin to consider dancing with me again.
I was supposed to head to a convention in Richmond this morning but didn't quite make it. I ended up doing laundry, unpacking from my trips the past two weekends, picking up groceries for dinner which was turkey meatloaf, mac & cheese and a vegetable melody. I did some homework, made my dinner, did some cleaning and sat down to watch a movie.
Tomorrow I will be making my first calls in my new position of Quality Assurance Monitor, yall pray for me please. I have no doubts i'll do good at the job, i'm just worried imma get tired of sitting in that seat and people coming to my cubicle now that i'm not in Vera's eye shot. Whatever the case, i'll shout down who and what is necessary.

My fault
I didn't blog yesterday due to barely keeping my eyes open when I got home. There wasn't much to my day though. I moved into a new cubicle at work, it is an extreme downsize but i'm making it work. I went to my bff's to catch up and eat dinner. He made fish and pasta which was quite good. Today has been busy with the actual move thus far and training my new position. I'm going to happy hour after work with co-workers and taking it easy tonight until the cookout tomorrow. .....I'll have to catch up with you all later

Ain't nobody humpin' around
I still have so many thing relating to winding down from my trips. Vacations are always nice but when you get back and reality is front and center waiting for you, it pulls some of that joy of having been gone so long away from you. My little suitcase is unpacked but my bit one isn't. I still have picture to go through, save and send.......and I need to clean off my work laptop tonight. Due to the promotion, there are some "privileges" I won't have anymore. Sucks sorta, but, you know, if I must, I must.
I started moving and my training for Quality Assurance Monitor today. It went good and we'll do another couple hours tomorrow. He said i'll be on my own by next week. Hopefully these next two days will be smooth ones so I can focus as much as I can on training.
I took my mid-term tonight and it went pretty good, wasn't that hard at all. I got a tip from a classmate telling me it was a lot easier than she anticipated. That conversation with her in itself gave me enough insight as to what to focus on as far as last minute studying. My Business Writing class was good too. We're going to turn in our portfolio's for our mid-term and watch a movie while eating pizza.
I got my dancing honestly and the sweat that comes along with it. This realization came to me this past trip home as I watched my dad sweating profusely as he jammed on the dance floor. I no longer wonder why my forehead is pouring after one song of me dropping it like it's hot...lol. One thing is for sure though, neither one of us stink, but we still need to sit down some where people be thinking, but the music just moves us.
Well that's it for me folks, i'm signing out, i'm still trying to catch up on rest. It's funny how I got more sleep hanging with my girlfriend 2 weekends ago than I did when I was hanging with my mom(s) and dad....among other family, and none of it was clubbin. I have also met some very interesting people over the past few weeks (positive talk) Anyway, until the 26th.

Swing of things
Today was a typical day for me, played catch up from last week and the weekend and went to the doctor regarding my eczema. They gave me a refferral just a I wanted.
When I was home, I was there for a wedding and to see my newest niece. 
This is the first time i've come home and my cousins have been out of town. I alwasy go out with them, but not this time. Though I missed clubbin with them, this gave me more time in the evenings. I ended up on the side of the road at a fish hole. We started off pulling baby Blue Gills out the water, but after about 15-20 minutes, the big ones started coming out to play. I was paranoid and told my dad I didn't want to fish on no side of the road,
he basically told me I must've forgotten where I came from since I moved over here (Maryland). Truth be told, he was right. Not until I hooked my first Gill, though it was tiny, did I remember being younger and setting up camp anywhere my daddy heard they were biting. I suddenly became very comfortable and less worried about the no parking sign posted and the fact we were on the side of a road fishing. I had my story all planned if the authorities pulled up on us and asked for our fishing license. My dad and his girl had one, but I didn't. I would've said I was from out of town and holding the pole from my daddy, hoping showing them my MD identification would soften them up. Luckily, nobody stopped by but people who wanted to know if they were biting. Though the wedding was beautiful and much fun, I would have to say fishing was the highlight of my trip.... I haven't been in so long.

I also went out and watched my brother skate, that boy is bad on them thangs, he reminds me of my daddy. When I was younger, I was pretty smooth too. I have to admit we get that from both of our parents. But now days, all I can think of is hitting that floor....and I ain't feeling that. When I do get out there though, I do pretty good, I need to practice my backwards skating a little more and stop being so paranoid.
The wedding was beautiful and it was wonderful having all my family and closest family friends in one place. We laughed, danced, ate and socialized all night. At the end of it all, we took pictures, minus my momma, she always seems to disappear before picture time and I don't know how that always happens.After the wedding my dad and I went and hung out at various places down town before calling it a night. It was fun, he imitated people on the dance floor and received an standing ovation from the people on the side lines, they were so tickled and he truly was funny.

Back once again.....
Hey all...i'm back from MI. I noticed my last entry's photo's didn't show up, i'm going to try to fix that so stay tuned and i'll let you know when it's fixed. Michigan was wonderful! From visiting with family, going to the wedding, dancing, fishing and having a small dinner party, I had a fun filled weekend among loved ones. I saw some of everyone and they make me feel old.
Whenever I come home, my dad picks me up and we chill for a bit before I head to my mom's to post up for the weekend. On Friday, Daddy, my step mom and I went fishing. We parked on the side of the road, clearly marked no parking, and did the dang thang. I was kind of skeptical at first, being on the roadside and all, but eventually, I remember where I came from and this is how we did it when I was growing up. It doesn't where you find the water hole, just throw your pole in there and see what you can pull out the water. We caught some really big Blue Gills, yours truly had the largest (smile). When we first dropped our poles in the water, all mum and I kept pulling up were baby Gills, we were getting pretty pissed and was ready to leave, but after we gave it another 15-20 minutes, it was on and poppin, we were pulling them up right & left.
We left the hole after about 3 hours of fun fishing and headed back to my daddy's house so he could clean them up for some good eating.
I have a lot more to share about my trip home but want to see if I can figure this picture thing out, so check back with me later this week.....
