*huggles f-list* I just wanted to pop in real quick and say hi and bye! I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. To Disney World. My sister and family came in today. My niece doesn't know a thing. Heheheh... I so love surprising that little girl!

I will be back next Monday!

*huggles* I hope everyone is well!

TTFN!

I just wanted to say that I'm back from Texas.

I have been back since last Sunday but haven't been in much of a good mood to post until today. I will post pics and recap soon, I hope.

The trip was wonderful; I didn't want to come back and leave boyfriend :(
Other than that, it was wonderful.

I'll share more when I catch up on rest and energy!

*loves f-list* I hope you're all well.

Hello my lovelies....

I'm just checking in real quick...

I am leaving tomorrow on my trip. Houston, TX here I come. ^_^ Much joy to see boyfriend and friend. ^_^

I will be leaving tomorrow at around 4:30 Eastern time and returning Sunday at about 8:30pm or so. Well, that's when my plane is scheduled to land.

I may check in while I'm away.

Take care everyone and lots of love. *huggles f-list*

*waves at f-list* 

I know I owe some of you a major update - I've been... well, busy and unwell and just all over the place it seems. I promise, I will give you a proper update relatively soon.

But because I'm a dork at times...

I went to the bellydance festival today. I did very well and did not spend lots of money.  I bought a few things though - some CDs, a DVD, some earrings, an anklet, a necklace, and a cuff bracelet for my tribal and/or Halloween costume. Or both. Of course, I went with mom. We watched some of the performers and it was entertaining.  I resisted from buying a few more things (baby doumbek, DVD, fan veils, etc...) Maybe for Spring Caravan. ^__^ I miss dancing terribly - with a group, at least. I am still dancing at home and it helps keep me sane. Soon. Maybe soon I will be able to take classes.

Other than that, work stinks. I have another Psycho to deal with. What makes it worse is that her daughter also works there and they are LAZY.

I haven't written or drawn much... which makes me sad. But I will go back to it in time. I've been reading a series of books. I still have about another 5 or 6 to read but I at least caught up to one of my friends that I will visit at the end of the month.

Yes - I am going away. ^___^ Much needed escape. Too bad it won't be longer.

Had/have some medical issues going on that I'm working on trying to get my body to cooperate with me. Let's just say my ex-doctor almost tried killing me. Giving me medicines that she knew I didn't need. But hey - you "trust" doctors to try to take care of you. No wonder I don't like them all. Not after my father...

Anyway... things with boyfriend are good. Very good. Yes - that will go in the update later when it comes. But for now, things are going well in regard to that. :)

Must run for now. Be well everyone.

*hugglest f-list*

Never forget.

*huggles to everyone*

I know it was yesterday.... but I think my mind is a bit clearer than it was.

Michael Jackson's death... was a shocker to me. And it hurts like hell. I can say so much about it but at the same time, I don't want to. But I will say this... I am blessed and honoured to have been able to see him perform live back in 2001. The most amazing performance by someone who I think was a most amazing person. His legend will live on.

Michael...you have touched the lives of myself and so many millions of people around the world. You are truly a legend......

Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson. Like many others, I love you.

I'm alright! Managing somehow, but alright!

My sister's due date is getting closer. I'm excited for this.

AnimeNext is getting closer. Again. My first convention. I'm excited for this.

And I am having a bit of an issue with someone I know. It's... a positive issue. Very positive issue. *blushes* I guess, I can say that a prt of is excited for this too. Among many many other emotions.

On the bright side, only 2 more days and then it's the weekend!! It can't come soon enough!

Be well everyone! *huggles flist tightly*

I'll update more later... but this is nabbed from my sis, Tan.



The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

*waves* I'm alive! I just vanished for a while.

Before I start, I want to say thanks to everyone who posted to my previous post. As it stands, nothing's happened. So that's that - for now. *shrugs*

In other news....

3 more weeks before the anticipated birth of my future niece or nephew. ^_^ Unless, of course, the baby says he (or she) wants to come out sooner. Hehe.

Work has been.... well... stressful, to say the least.   Here's to hoping that whatever will explode soon, will, and then it will settle down. *crosses fingers* I'm just glad that I sit and do my work and mind my business and that's that. Hn.

I've gone to 2 doctors this past week. I was supposed to have bloodwork done today but the confirmed appointment was cancelled after I (and everyone else) got there. They never told security that the lab felt like taking the 3 day weekend so she spent a lot of time calling. Finally, when she got through, they told her that late last night, they felt like taking the 3 days off but didn't call anyone to let them know. So, a few hours were wasted. Now, it's rescheduled for next weekend. I also have to get another test done. I hope to get it done soon, before I can make another appointment with my primary care physician. And hopefully, that will be it (after she prescribes me another medicine to help with the condition *sighs*). It stinks. And I still hate doctors.... and hospitals... and clinics...  >.<

After that, mom and I got in the car, took the Parkway south... waaaaay south (for our usual Parkway trips) and got off on exit 74. We were trying to go to this place Popcorn Park Zoo... but there was *NO* parking. It was tiny. Cramped. And after two trips (and U-turns), I said no more and we started coming back up north. Of course, we stopped along the way to eat (since we hadn't eaten anything by 4pm), take a detoured trip (I missed Route 18 near my old Rutgers), and make 2 stops at stores.

We finally made it home and relaxed. ^_^

Tomorrow will probably be spending the day inside, doing things around the place, sewing the costume for the cosplay (both of us working on it, at least) and trying to relax a bit.

No plans for the actual Memorial Day but it's all good. Relaxing is always a good thing, ne?


I hope everyone is doing well. *huggles f-list* Be good. Be safe!

I'll have another update this weekend...

But first...

Dollhouse... *loves* I just *love* that show. Seriously, I do. And I can't believe Season 1 is already over. I really am hoping that Fox brings it back because it is just... total love for me. *loves* I know it's had some mixed reviews, but for me... total *love*

Just... wow. *loves it*

Okay... I'll have more sometime this weekend.

*huggles f-list* be well everyone!

*waves* Hello everyone. I'm alive... just been... busy and such.

This past week at work... well, the usual, I suppose. The insane woman topped her 'best' with some of the most ridiculous outfits a so-called professional business woman should wear. Professional. *rolls eyes* Her kind of 'professional' doesn't belong inside that office, that's for sure.

Anyway...

Yesterday (Saturday), mom and i went to New York City. I was on the hunt for material so with a trip to the Fashion District, I bought all the material and the ribbons for the cosplay I plan on doing for the convention. ^__^ Now... just to start. I was... definitely inspired to do that and so much more.

Today... it was a trip to Somerset for Rakkasah East - Spring Caravan. The bellydance festival. I've so much love for the dance, it's not even funny. I miss taking classes and with lots of people I met and cards/pamphlets I got, I may do so once again. Though I didn't nearly spend as much as I did last time I went, I did leave there with some accessories for the tribal costume that I bought and am adding/modifying it to make it more... well... me. ^__^ So much fun. The performances were fun... some of them were just amazing. But it was an overall good time.

Tomorrow is back to work and back to the normal routine. Blahness. I'd rather be home. It's going to be a crappy day... week.

Before I leave, since it's still May 3rd, I want to wish my darling yami_tai  a very happy birthday. I hope your day is as lovely as you are, my dear friend. *huggles* Much love.

And to everyone on my f-list. *tight huggles and love to you as well*

Today was a gorgeous day! Even if I did little that could be called fun. ^_^ 

My car spent Friday night at her boyfriend's house... er... the mechanic shop.  I dropped it off after work and then trekked my way back home. After a long long long day at work, walking 2 miles at 5 pm with all the crazies in the area wasn't fun. But it was alright..

I walked back to the shop to pick her up a bit before noon today. Luckily, I beat most of the heat but ti was still pretty hot. ^^ Ah well...

Of course, on such a beautiful day, one of mom's co-workers called out 'sick' and already said she'd be out 'sick' tomorrow as well. No one believes her because she is very irresponsible. Hopefully, that will change soon-ish.

Despite tomorrow being yet another gorgeous day, I am planning to clean tomorrow. Yup. More inside the house for me! Yay. -_-

On the bright side, a wig I ordered for a costume cosplay I want to do came in. So... yay! ^_^

*huggles* Hope everyone is well and have a lovely weekend!

I'm back from Ohio. ^_^ Got back home on Sunday but I've been busy/tired that I haven't even posted. My bad. The trip was good... fun... short... tiring... but overall good. ^_^

I want to offer my thoughts and prayers to sharona1x2 and to Mr. Cruz. It's natural to feel shaken up and heartsick about it hun. *huggles tightly*

At work... it's been one crazy thing after another. Seriously. I go from one crazy Psycho to another. *sighs* And today, I almost snapped at the woman but somehow held myself back. Not sure how but I somehow did. I'm usually pretty calm and patient with most people, especially at work. Heck, I learned some mad skillz with that last Psycho and have applied them to this one but come on... this one is unbelievable. Hn. I just need to put up with her for one more day and then I can have 2 days free of her. Yay for the weekend. I wants sleeps.

I feel very stressed out this week. So much my nerves are nearly shot so putting up with things has been much more difficult than normal. *sighs deeply* One of these days I will just get up and run away for a while. One day....


*huggles flist* Be well, my dearies.

I know I've been rather quiet lately... lots going on. Some good. Some bad. The usual. It's all good.

I'm going to head out to Ohio tomorrow. Mom and I are leaving after I get off of work and we'll have to spend the night somewhere in PA since it'll be way too late to actually keep driving. That and after working a long day, I want sleep and get to Ohio safely.

We're throwing her a private baby shower since we're taking lots of the stuffs we bought her. ^_^ I'm excited for the baby and June can't come fast enough. ^_^ 

We'll be back Sunday evening. I need some rest before going to work on Monday.

On another note, work has been interesting. Psycho-Hoochie crossed the line and Malcolm told her to take the rest of the week off because he didn't want to see her face or hear her voice for a while. So it was peaceful today. And tomorrow will be as well. Busy, but peaceful. And it's funny that after her daughter leaves work (she works there too -_-), the others sigh in relief because the daughter is a gossiper and tells PH everything. Blah. They stink.

And... *snicker* the daughter burned her toast today... to the point where smoke filled the office, the fire alarms went off and she's just crying "I'm sorry.... I'm sorry...." *snicker* she was SOOOO embarrassed. Serves her right for paying attention to gossip and her damn book (which she's been reading the same book online for 3 weeks DURING work hours; then has the nerve to say she's busy doing work that should have been done since November!!)

AH well... such is life.

*huggles f-list* be well everyone. And for those that celebrate it, I hope your holiday is lovely! Be back on Sunday.

Just a quick update to say "Hey... I'm alive." I've been a bit busy trying to keep my sanity. Between work, dealing with stupid people (at work), and also making sure we've got most of the stuff we want to get for my sister's baby, I'm tired. The baby part is actually fun. I know the baby won't be born until June, as long as things continue to go well, but mom & I are planning on going out to Ohio for Easter weekend. Another short trip (leaving Friday after work and coming back on Sunday), but we want to get plenty of things to take to my sister. I'm looking forward to that.

Other than that, for now, things are okay. Here's to hoping it will stay that way... for a while longer. I know... not a very interesting post but I just felt like writing something up.

*huggles f-list* I hope everyone is doing well. Take care and I'll check in later!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! *huggles*

I'm alive... work is keeping me busy... blah! Can't it be the weekend already? *le sigh* I'm trying not to overdo it so I won't relapse on being sickly again. That was not fun at all.

*huggles f-list* Be well everyone and be safe!

So I got sick... I am surprised I lasted as long as I did. I barely made it through work on Tuesday. Barely. Wednesday... I woke up and tried to get ready and just couldn't. I actually called out. I was asleep most of the day, waking up only out of necessity. Blah. Thursday... I was stubborn and went in to work. I did feel a bit better. However, Friday came. I got up, got dressed, got TO work... and once I started doing some things, I got dizzy, nauseous and just overall blah. One of my co-workers told me I should go home and when I stepped out of the bathroom from splashing cold water on my face, my supervisor (aka Psycho Hoochie) took one look at me and told me to go home. So... home I went. I changed into comfy sweats and crawled back into bed. *sighs* I spent most of the day in bed. And today... for the most part as well. I do feel better but I still feel rather exhausted. Blah... But at least I can now walk around and not get dizzy and/or feel nauseous. Which is a good thing, right? 

There are a couple things I need to get done that I'd like to start today but I know I'm still not making much sense so it can wait until tomorrow.

*huggles f-list* Take care everyone.

I'm losing that battle on not getting sick... it was SO difficult to make it through the whole workday today. It was crazy. I may actually not go in tomorrow because I feel terrible. *sighs* I don't really want to miss but I'm making myself worse....

I'll decide in the morning.

Hope everyone is doing well *sends love*
