Ok, so I have to confess that today, I did not read. I always talk about how frustrating it is when you send an email to only receive back only half or nothing at all of what was asked. I had homework today and scanned through so I would have enough time to complete it, but then I missed a few parts and ended up having to go back.
Are we that occupied with life and work, that we forget to read? I am not just talking about reading an email, instructions, or a book, but also reading others expressions and emotions. We get so caught up that we didn't realize our co-worker or friend has been having some personal difficulties and was screaming for help. We have to read, it is so important to stop and think about others besides ourselves. People need our help.
Reading helps to understand what to do or when to do. It teaches us new words or new situations. It provides answers to our questions. So please read first. It is annoying when you have already been told something but you were so occupied or lazy that you didn't take the time to read and now you are wasting the time of others.
Just something that happens everyday I guess...

Love and Hip Hop
So mentioned before how I love reality shows. I don't have drama in my life but I don't mind watching drama presented on television for entertainment. So, I have been watching the reality show Love and Hip Hop. It is pure comedy, at the same time it's kind of sad. So there is a woman named Mimi who is dating a guy named Stevie J, Steve is a womanizer, he loves women and although he is with someone, and has a child by Mimi, he continues to mess around on her with one of his artist names Joseline. Now Joseline is not the only other woman he messes with but these are the two women on the show.
My problem-Why be with someone who treats you like that? Not to say women don't do it but why would you want to make yourself look like a fool on national television. This guy has made her look like a complete idiot. Then there is Joseline. Why would you want to be the other woman in hopes of one day being THE woman? Why be the one to break up a home, be the one to break a child from her father? I don't think women look at the big picture. We already know men don't think like that. Maybe it's because she isn't a mother herself and didn't have a mother and father, as she has stated, in her life. I think that makes a big difference on the type of morals you have.
This relationship is not the only one with problems. Now we discuss Erica and Lil Scrappy. I think Erica is smart, she is not going to put up with the games. She did give Scrappy a chance by taking him because but I don't think she will have him to make her look stupid again. Scrappy, I think, is greedy, and his mother doesn't make the situation better by dropping her two cents. I think she needs to let Scrappy grow up and learn to make some hard decisions on his own. I, myself, am not a mother so I want to ask, do you think as a mother it is your job to involve yourself is the affairs of your child? Don't you think at some point you have to stop and say "You are a grown man or woman, and as a grown man or woman you have to fall in order to learn how to get back up, I won't always be around to dig you out, so these are things you need to learn." Now Scrappy is messing around with this other woman who he allowed to seduce him into a relationship that he probably shouldn't have allowed, but again he is greedy and wasn't able to push this plate back.
I guess one day they will all learn their lessons and know what it is to truly be happy with yourself and learn to love and respect others.

My weekend
I had a very interesting weekend. I had played Bingo once before and thought it was boring but last night, with friends, I attended "Bingo After Dark" It was like going to the Bingo club. They had a DJ, dance floor, disco lights, and people had on glow sticks. It was awesome. I will say something that I do not like about Bingo is that it gets your all hyped to only let you down when someone else yells "Bingo!!" I was 2 numbers away from having it damnit!! How could I not win? I hate losing money, some people don't mind but as soon as I find myself not winning, I am ready to pull out. My husband always tells me, "scared money doesn't make money," and my response is scared money doesn't lose money either."
I also like to Pai Gow because when playing Pai Gow you break even most of the time. You are always winning or breaking as long as you are beating the dealer or the dealer has Pai Gow. If I had the money, I most definitely wouldn't mind gambling more. It's fun! I always see people, especially in Vegas, come in and put over $1,000 down on the table and play every last penny. I mean if they are going to throw it away, I can take half, I don't mind at all. I will put good use to it.
I also checked out Z Tejas for the first time and it wasn't bad at all, had a couple of drinks with friends and then Bingo. It was a cool weekend, didn't do much but that was the highlight of my weekend.
So now I have to look forward to watching my TV shows this week! I am always excited about my reality shows, so I will be discussing that will you all later. So, til next time!

This week
Man, this week was one of those weeks. I was busy trying to get things done and people were irritating me. So, something about me. I have a lot of pet peeves, peeves that most would think, oh that is nothing but to me it's like the world almost blew up! lol
So one of my pet peeves is when people take half of something, let's say a cookie, and leave the other half for others to eat. Ok, so I feel like why not find someone who wants to share it with you! Most of the people who come to get a cookie want a whole cookie, they don't want to be cheated by just getting half, or how about you eat half now and wrap the other half up for later or the next day! I can not stand when people do that. It started to bother me, when on more than one occasion I was craving more of the item that was brought in to lift the box and find half, for one I don't know where your hands have been so if you touched it to cut it in half, I do not want to eat it, and for two my mouth was set on the whole thing, not half. It's like when you are eating that juicy burger and it is so good and with each bite it gets better, then all of a sudden someone asks you for the last bite. Really? The last bite you ask for? I am been eating this burger this whole time and you ask for the last bite! I can't think of one person that does not look forward to the last bite.
Ok, so back to my week. I am telling you I am ready to move and do bigger and better things. I like what I do but I don't want to be stag in one position. If there are other opportunities why not take them? I can say that I had a lot of stupid calls this week. Something else that bothers me is when people don't read. If you find something in your inbox that you know is important why would you not read every details or why would you delete it? I had to tell like 10 people this week to read. They get lazy and want you to find it and read it to them, but now you are wasting my time in having me locate it and then read it to you, when you could have done the same thing! Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking and the others I wonder, how did you even get this job? lol
I know that we are not all perfect and I am pretty sure some people have felt the same way about things that I have done but I try not to be that person. Or maybe it's just me, maybe I complain too much...oh well! Either love it or leave it! lo
What about you? What are your pet peeves?

A Learning Experience
I am extremely thankful for the opportunity to go to school and not have to pay for it. I served my time in the military and as a reward I receive a free education. I guess its not necessarily free because I put in a lot of work and dedication into serving my country.
I don't think a lot of people realize how much goes into being a soldier of the armed forces. I wasn't free to always do the things I wanted. I didn't start school until the last couple of years I was in. I wasn't allowed to attend school, and we got called in at wee hours of the morning and worked 12-20 hours a day. We got up early to do physical training, and I have worked in the freezing snow and stood in the pouring rain during exercises. I will say it was a great experience, I came out a better person, I learned a lot about attention to detail and learned to think smarter and not harder.
So, I just started back school after taking a few months off (about to share something personal). I took this time off because I was supposed to be having a baby but I had a miscarriage at the beginning of my first trimester. I decided I should just take the break anyway since we were going to have a lot going on during that time anyway.
I am back to school and it feels good, I feel like I have a purpose now, not that I didn't before, but I know that once I am done it is going to take me a while to get out of school mode and into another mode. I decided that once I am done with my Masters degree next year, I will try and become a online instructor. I think this will help me to help other students, continue to be updated on my skill, as well as make a little extra money on the side to prepare for a family when God does allow us one.
I am happy though, I encourage education! I think it is so important, and working in Human Resources has helped me to realize just how important an education is, especially these days. I will be sure to keep you all updated on my studies and maybe share some things with you that I have learned. Like today I learned the history of Educational Psychology and when it originated. I found it to be very interesting and how it actually impacted the rest of the educational field.
Well, feel free to ask questions, or share your thoughts!

Dirty 30!
Dang! I am about to turn 30, I can't believe time has flown by! I mean it seems like such a milestone, I am no longer looked at as young. I am going to be seen as someone with a little experience, someone that has actually done things in life. By now, I should be married, which I am, be done with school, which I am not completely (still in my masters program), my career should start to peak, which it has not, and I should have children, which I don't. I feel like I am half way where I should be. Although, I did take the time to protect and serve my country for almost 7 years, and in that time I have done more than someone that is 40 years old has done...ever!
Dang! I can't believe I will be 30, what happened to me living at home rent, food, activities, clothes, and anything else for free? I was young and wished I were old, and now I am older, not old yet, and wish I was young! My friends say it isn't as bad as I think it will be, but it's 30!!
Dang! 30? Really! I was talking to my mom the other day and I was telling her how I needed to go big for my birthday because I am going to be 30, and she was like no you don't. I say yeah, you are supposed to go big for your 30th and again for your 50th, next after that is 100! She said, well I am not making it that far, so I guess there will be no celebration there! lol Now I am trying to come up with something to do.
Well...guess I better start planning!

Life
Life...what can you do about it? You can only live it and pray that things go your way. We have have things that we have experienced and sometimes you have to remember that it could have been worse. There is always someone out there that has experienced things worse that what you did. So what do you do? Do you let your past control you? Or do you take charge and control your past? I look at my past as events in my life that made me a better person, experiences that helped me to help others. It happened, you got through it alive, now you can only pray that God delivers you from it and move forward. Learn from it, don't blame yourself for it either, there is no use in doing that, because it's not your fault. Like the saying goes, "If God brought you to it, he will bring your through it"

Background
So I decided to start blogging because I love to write. I am not like a "I am going to write a book!" type writer, just basic stuff. I do like to talk so and I feel like I express myself better through my writing.
My co worker was telling me that as a part of her class assignment, she had to blog, so I asked how I could get started and bada bing, bada boom, I am here! I am really excited about this, and I will try and continue to blog as much as possible. I do work full time and just started classes back up full time, but I will try and make time between home, work, and school to write to you!
I don't know how popular this will be, but I guess we shall see!

I found a new love! I am not the greatest at researching stuff, it frustrates me. My husband can go online and find exactly what he is looking for, but I just can't! I try and think I am typing in the write stuff to search what I want and 85% of the time, I am unable to do so. Anyway something that has helped so far is Pinterest! I have found recipes, hair ideas, things for the home, etc. My recent successful with Pinterest was this past weekend, so we were due to have company over and there were some stains on my carpet that I have been unable to get out for YEARS! I took to Pinterest to see if someone was able to assist, and by golly they were! I found a remedy and the stains are gone! I also found a few recipes that I used that my friends LOVED! It was a great feeling! Whenever I find something like this I like to share it with others. I don't think people should be stingy with information, you never know how much it can help someone, and if they are not like myself, they could research and find what you already know. So make it easy, and share ideas and great things! Well off to bed I go!
