Okay it's took me a little while to actually maintain blogging regularly but I think I finally am getting into the grove. Blogging is such a great therapy, I have a private blog and a couple of public blogs that I am finally deciding how I am going to use them. So here goes my intentions for blogging....
I started a web page of my very own a little while ago at sunkissedthoughts.com, I haven't made the site into what I would like for it to be yet but I am working it. At sunkissedthoughts anything goes and that is where I plan to start sharing my short stories and poetry as well as whatever crosses my mind. I've enjoyed vox so I have decided to continue blogging here but I am going to use this as my get fit site, I really need to get my act together with my exercise regiment and I am going to talk about it here. I have a few other sites that I am checking out that I have found an interest in and I am going to use them to my advantage in some way. Hopefully the friends I have made along the way on various blog sites will follow me as I transfer my thoughts and commentary in different ways and sites.
I'm sure at some point I will make one site my one and only but until then, come follow me through my journey of blogging from far and near, from sunkissedthoughts to vox and beyond...let my bloggin journey begin...next stop on the map...figuring out facebook....
Sometimes no matter how hard you try to stay positive, some things just have a way of weighing on you. I feel like I am making great strides in some parts of my life and continue to work on those things that are not that great. But you know some times I just have points of just feeling down and it's hard to re-adjust my mood. Feeling kind-a stinky right now so I'm listening to music to try to put my thoughts and emotions on another path, hope it helps, I really don't like feeling out of sorts!
Audio: Share a song that evokes a powerful memory.

I Miss You by Aaron Hall reminds me of my ex. When we started dated that song was in heavy rotation, it was the first song that we ever dance to. We are still friends and share a child together, he is still very near and dear to me.

My creativity and romance get an opportunity to join forces during wedding season, as I work hard to ensure that the bride and grooms that I work with are satisfied with the end result of their wedding day. Wedding coordinating is a side business that I do and most times I love it, even when I have brides that get phone calls from at 1am asking about the craziest things. But I honestly have to say, I can't wait for the wedding that I am doing this weekend to be over. This couple and the mother of the bride have drove me absolutely crazy. They don't adhere to timelines, deadlines or have consideration for others. This experience has proven to be one that I have not enjoyed with this couple, I will truly be glad when this wedding is over on Saturday. And to top it off, this crazy couple had the nerve to try to convince the church to allow them to have wedding rehearsal at 9pm on Friday, when I was contacted about this nonsense I couldn't do anything but laugh because I truly knew at that point that they must live in an alternate universe that no one else understands. The lady from the church was laughing as well, she asked, was it her thinking or did I feel that this couple was a little strange and extra....lol...I told her it is definitely not just her thinking that. I have other vendors who are participating in the wedding say the same thing, one vendor-the reception site was ready to give them their money back and ask them to find another site. This has truly been an experience that now I can just laugh at some of the foolishness because it is almost over.....Yippee!!!
The other weddings we have this year truly allow me to enjoy why I got into wedding coordinating, so this one will just be a note in the books of craziest couples to work with...
Sometimes your hormones just don't cooperate when you need them to. Sitting at work thinking about having that special someone wrappping their arms around you and doing those things they do....does not equal a productive work day....
I must snap out of it....lmao
People make me angry when try to manipulate people with their mess. One of my cousins who is absolutely wonderful person had an off and on relationship with someone who showed her time and time again the type of person he is. After separating herself from him for a while, she gave him another chance, this time the relationship lead to marriage and a child. All was going well for a while but then he was in a bad motorcycle accident and she had to take care of him, basically nursing him back to good health---rehabilitation process and all. Once this fool was well again, he started up with some of his same ole tricks. She basically watched him develop a stronger bond then he should have with a child hood friend-- he still insist they are just normal friends that grew up together. Anywho, long story short, when she had all she could take she walked away from the situation. He said all types of terrible things to her and acted like a complete ass. She didn't file for divorce right away, still being hopeful I guess. But she finally was able to heal and divorced his butt. Now wouldn't you know, this fool is now trying to hit her with the woe is me act. He has even went as far as to tell her that he was going to confront the guy she is seeing to let him know that he wants his wife back. You know people really have some nerve with their selfish acts. Things are not working out for him as he thought they would with another woman and now all of a sudden he can't live without his ex-wife. He sees that she has a friend that is making her happy and treating her well and now all of sudden wants to do that for her. He needs to get a life, what he wants and needs--his mess--is suppose to mean something. I was just really irritated with the whole thing when she called me and just had to vent....
You know you never know how people see you and what affect you have on people. An old co-worker contacted me a few days ago and said that he really needed to talk to me. Him and I often talk and sometimes join forces in happy hours or networking events so it's not unusual for him to call me or just want to chit-chat. But this conversation was a little different. He wanted to talk to me about his sex life, that surprised me. Before we got into the conversation he just said that after reading some of the short stories that I write, knowing that I do adult toy parties and just simply talking to me on different occasions, he felt I would be good to talk to. He is someone I never thought would want to have that type of conversation with me, especially on such a personal level. Well we talked, he was happy with how the conversation flowed and all is well. You just never know how people see you and what they would call on you for....
