Vent! Blogplaining


Okay Blog world I have been holding this in for about 2 weeks. At Christmas time I was going through a being selfish phase and buying things for me instead of others. I ordered these Fabu shoes from Nine West on 12/22 WHY?? did it take 3 weeks for the shoes to come? They usually have a very quick ship out. I called customer service because I became alarmed when the site said the shoes had sold out and mine had not shipped. Customer service assured me if I had not received a cancellation email my shoes would be in route soon. After that convo, I got over how long it took for my shoes to come but when they FINALLY arrived... THEY SENT THE WRONG SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered these...

but they sent these...

you can't see the detail in this pic, but the shoe is dark chocolate,  forest green, and burgundy. Not ugly but not what I ordered. The shoes were purchased at player's prices. 70% off and free shipping, so they can't go back. I'm not sending them back Too much hassle.  Was it because I was being selfish?

On a happier note. I bought these at the same time. Fantabulous!!! and they look GREAT with leggings.

My New cellphone - Blackberry Bold 9700


I FINALLY have a new cellie. I've been talking about getting a new cellphone since last March. I said I wanted a Blackberry for my B-day. But I didn't get it. I like to get things first, but since I mentioned I wanted a Blackberry two people in my family got Blackberry's before me. So I decided to wait and see if a newer model would come out. Which did. Then there was the price. This phone was originally 429.00. I did NOT want to pay THAT! So finally at the end of the year the price was lowered to 199.99 and for a limited time it's 50% off. Finally the player's price!!! So I bought it for 199.99 plus tax and I will get a 100.00 debit card rebate in 4-6 weeks. Total cost 99.99 plus tax. I'm not even going to talk about whack ass AT&T charging tax on the original price of the phone! hmph After all that, phone purchased and shipped,  phone accesories stalked. Happiness I wish I had gotten the i-phone. **Sigh**

Haiti ( My Thoughts)

I've waited quite awhile to say anything about Haiti. Of course my heart goes out to all the victims of the major earthquake that rocked that country? island? (not good with geography.) It is interesting to see the outpouring of support and aid that is going there. I am troubled by the images of destruction and chaos and fighting that the media has bombarded us with for many days. I also watched scanned the telethon this past Saturday. And I will be making my donation once I determine which charity is legit. But all of this support makes me remember hurricane Katrina. Can you image if New Orleans had received such an outpouring of support the difference that would have been made in those tragic days after the storm? It seems to me that the socioeconomic conditions of Haiti could be likened to the socioeconomic conditions of the ninth ward. So what made the difference?

Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Happy MLK Day!

What are you doing to honor the memory of this legendary civil rights hero?

I like this picture of MLK. He was more than just his "I Have A Dream Speech" He was a father, a husband, a preacher, an activist etc. His legacy paved the way for President Barack Obama.

So take today to reflect on what privileges you have obtained because of the sacrifice of our fore-fathers.




TheCaptain


So I have not blogged about the Captain in quite awhile. It's been so up and down lately I guess I don't know where to start. I decided in the new year that I was going to try to understand him more, stop tripping on him so much, and really have a grown-up relationship. All of that is hard to do by yourself. He did something so foul to me last week, that it had me crying to my friend while we were exercising. I felt bad after our walk for laying all that stress and drama on her, only too except his apology the next day and try to move on from it. I am still mad/sad but I am also tired of being at war and battling with him. I know our relationship is nearing it's end. But as Don and said in one of his past blogs. Shout out to L-boogie too! "I'll let go when he let's go too..." Excellent Don!

P.S. and if he did not resemble this I'm sure I would have thrown in the towel LONG ago!
