It’s been one of those weeks :-)

Thanks for all of the likes! I will post soon, I’m just taking a big break because I finally GRADUATED from College and my brian and self needs a break from being on my computer all of the time

Give me another few days and I will be back to posting, plus my iPhoto app on my computer REFUSES to open and work anymore. It’s actually VERY annoying, good thing my pictures are saved on the internet and not on my computer only

Here is a picture from when we still lived in WI, Badgers and Packers start soon!!!!!!!!! Go WISCONSIN

Mothers…

This post is kind of backwards, well it is backwards. That’s only because I had this great post done and started adding pictures (collages) and the post disappeared… UGH! I hate when that happens and then I can’t figure out how to get it back (even though I have saved it multiple times). So then I get to redo the post and I am more lazy now then I was 20 minutes ago, and so all you get are pictures… After all they are worth a 1000 words and more

These pictures are from Mother’s Day week. Starting with my Graduation from UW- Oshkosh leading up to S-bears graduation from UW- Madison. I can include in there Ike’s birthday but I feel that deserves it’s own post

So enjoy the collage of pictures and see you in a couple of days, because I have some science homework that is due on Monday… only a few more weeks and I will officially be DONE with school, for the time being (Master’s Degree in the near future).

Where were you at….

So I was on Facebook this afternoon… where else, LOL! and I seen someone had posted a where and what I was doing at a certain age. It was so cool and very thought-provoking, if I thought to hard I would start to cry so I kept it at a surface level… But the age that I was given was 17, and I was in hysterics laughing because 17 was one of “those” ages… you know what I’m talking about. The age where you knew you should have been doing one thing but decided to do something else…

So here is what I wrote for the age of 17 and then I will expand on it…

When I was 17

I was in my senior year of High School in Brooklyn Park, MN. I was lost, confused, full of anger and ready to take it out on any and everyone.

I was in a group called “LC” and they were my best friends and still to this day play a major role in my life LaNita, Tonia, Rochelle, Roshanda and our tag along Patience

My biggest fear was life itself but I always had the theme of , “Where my girls at!” and everything would be ok, my girls had my back…

I lived with my friend Tonia, and worked at Hardee’s…

So to expand on this age… I turned 18 by the November of that year, by then I had been out of the house for a few months (I think it is all slightly hazy). I know that I had gotten into a HUGE fight with the bio around that time because she didn’t do something I had asked her to do and then she… well anyways, long story short I moved out and lived with a friend of mines who was on her own as well. It was a trying time, a confusing time and one filled with anger and hurt and hatred.

I am pretty sure that by the end of my senior year I was a part of a group called Luscious Chocolate and we was the ish… hot, single, and ready to mingle and we so thought we could do and be anything that we wanted and that included being a singing group… If you think of TLC (but with 4 members) I was Left Eye (I could rap, LMAO!) don’t hate on my skills…

Not only did I work a LOT of hours at Hardee’s I also did fundraising through my band at the Metrodome, I swear I was there way too much but shit someone had to do it! I was a band geek, anything band I wanted to do it. I was on the marching band, pep band, jazz band (for a little bit) and a few other bands… but I wasn’t any good, LMAO! Even though I swore up and down that I was the BOMB diggity and my classmates/band mates can attest to that.

Anyways life was crazy and I was just coasting along, I had been very religious but that year my spiritual life took a down turn and I felt I was better off without the dude upstairs… My views have changed and flowed with life but the consensus is pretty much the same on the dude upstairs…

But anyways, being a teenager is a hard thing but to do it while going through such a crappy hand was even harder… But look how I’ve turned out… I might be evil but at least it is not so blatant now…

Now off to swim lessons with my girls!
