February 2005 Archives

This has been a tiring week for me. TGIF!!!!

Guess I will list, don't feel like forming paragraphs at the moment.

1) Thanks goes out to Cheryl! I received the Jasc CD this evening! I really appreciate it. I'm going to work toward being "positively creative" too.

2) The next thanks goes out to Lis. Thank you so much for the contribution you dropped in the Zen.Tip Jar towards my Oprah "Live Your Best Life" Tour expedition! What a great start to my fund!

3) There is going to be temporary placement of a special link for all your contributions to the Hopluv-go-to-see-Oprah fund on the right sidebar. No tip is too big or too small!

4) My mom was in the emergency room this week. She has been diagnosed with Cancer of the lung, bones and brain. Please remember her in your prayers.

5) I think I'm trying to catch yet another cold!

6) I almost quit my new job this week. Decided to go back yesterday - I will take it one day at a time.

7) I interviewed for another job on Monday, interviews (all three of them) went well - hopefully it will come through.

8) There are positive messages in hip hop. I love T.I.'s song Motivation. The message in his lyrics although somewhat gangsta, can really be applied to anything and be empowering. Check them out.

9) One of my good friends has a new blog! Visit LetsExplore411 and show her some blog luv!

10) I had free tickets to see The Curse and Diary of Mad Black Woman. Didn't make it! Between my mother getting sick and work I just wasn't motivated to sit in a dark movie theatre this week.

11) I will be catching up on my sleep and my magazine reading this weekend.

12) My Amazon book sales are going well, Hopluv Book Sales and Hopluv Book Sales2. Some of the books on the list have sold already. Since I'm not going to pay 40 bucks a month for a Amazon Storefront, just search the book title and ONLY purchase from Hopluv_Book_Sales. I currently have over 100 titles listed, so email me if you have a specific interest and I will let you know what I have. This intiative is to help me clear my clutter along with helping some needy kids. I will be donating proceeds to a local or national kids charity of some kind. Any suggestions?

13) Feeling pre-menstrual!

14) I have 100 Gmail invites!!!!!!!!!! If anyone wants one just shoot me an email.

Have a good weekend!

She will be in Dallas on May 21st!!! I want to GO!!!!!
Tickets will go on sale April 4th! The tickets are $185 and include a gift bag, personal growth activities and lunch.

"What do you want for your birthday you ask?"

What I want for my birthday (March 2nd) is two tickets to Oprah's Live Your Best Life Tour! So, everyone drop some money in the Zen.Tip Jar. I will tell Oprah you said "hi".

I'm posting for the very first time from my brand new ibook! She was purchased yesterday. I'm gonna go crazy on accessories for her! C loves her too, been on constant drool :) We are trying to think of a name for her.... any suggestions?

Also, anybody know of anyplace to get cool accessories for ibooks?

Welcome ibookie, I love you!

I'm Pisces, born Mar 2nd *clears throat, cough wishlist/tip jar cough* Go ahead and hook a sista up!

My bad habits:

As a water sign, it's only natural that Pisceans find comfort in liquids. When those liquids have a high alcohol content, problems can ensue. Naturally, a twelve-step program can be of enormous benefit here. Meditation and yoga can help, too, as they allow Pisces to achieve a healthy sense of nirvana. That's all these Fish are really seeking.

I don't find comfort in alcoholic beverages, yea I'll have a rum and coke or vodka and grapefruit juice on occassion but my thirst is really better quinched with a good ole cold coke!

Bad Habits by Sign
by Stephanie Dempsey

Nobody's perfect - all signs have their vices. Fortunately, astrology provides valuable clues for breaking bad habits. Ending these patterns will help you realize your full potential. Here are some tips for conquering those negative behaviors that get in the way of your ultimate happiness.

• Aries Out in Front

Rams have a habit of pushing to the front of the line, both literally and figuratively. And while this quality has helped Aries get ahead, it can also compromise their relationships. Putting an animal, child or plant in their care can correct the problem. As soon as this sign's nurturing qualities are cultivated, their selfishness will diminish.

• Taurean Trash

Bulls love clutter. Being surrounded by all their possessions gives them a sense of security. It also creates headaches, confusion, and chaos. Storage systems that keep their stuff on display will prevent this sign from strewing their stuff all over the house. Stacking baskets, glass jars, and open shelving can promote organization.

Haven't had a lot to "blog" amount lately. I'm sort of in a lull at the moment - nothing really exciting going on these days, ya know same ole, same ole.

Here's my randoms:

1) I have a headache today! I called (emailed) in sick, not really sick though I had two reason for not going in today 1- I had a job interview, 2- I just didn't feel like going to work today. Perhaps the headache is punishment for lying to my new manager about having the "stomach flu".

2) I don't like my new job! I was so happy to get it, so syked to begin working for this company after three weeks it's confirmed - NOT FEELING IT! Reasons; well during the interview process he failed to tell me I would be working in mainframe! I don't "do" mainframe. The boss is also a sexiest pig that smells like smoke. My search continues!

3) I'm in the market for a new laptop. I sold mine on ebay yesterday. Any suggestions? I really want a small and light machine. I want one with a 10" screen, weighing no more than 3lbs.

4) Real Estate blog coming soon! I'm going to link it to my real estate website. Anybody want to buy a house?

5) I'm selling a bunch of books on Amazon. I listed a few here. I'm searching for a local charity that I can donate a portion of the proceeds to. If you want to help browse the list to the left and make sure you purchase from Hopluv Book Sales.

6) I need something to control the amount of break dust my car releases, I'm tired of rolling around with dirty rims.

7) We had a good Valentine's Day. Had dinner at a nice place - Remmington's Seafood. It was great, no *look at the blacks, or look at the lesbians* stares. Wrapped it up having cocktails with a couple of friends.

8) I recently reconnected with a good friend that worked with me circa 1996 at Perot Systems! Found him on whowhere.

9) I'm working on my 2005 goals. I will post an update later.

10) We got free viewing passes to see Diary Of A Mad Black Woman and Cursed next week. Hopefully they will be good.

11) My birthday is coming up soon, Mar 2nd. No pressure, just go to my wishlist. Or drop some funds in the Zen.Tip Jar. Thanks a bunch!

Happy Friday!
