Valentine's Day!!!

Hey!!! I've been meaning to post this for awhile, but my laptop is not acting right these days!!!

So yea... Here I am today posting about Valentine's day!!

How was yours?!.... Here's how mine went:

Valentine's Day was pretty much like any other Monday. The only difference was that we had all kinds of goodies at my job! We had a cute little Valentine's Day party and it was fun! For a single girl, I had A BLAST!!! I saw on twitter that a lot of people were upset that they weren't "boo'd up!" Me... I was GOOD!!!... STRAIGHT CHILLIN'!!! lol I wasn't looking for anything and was totally ok that I wasn't getting anything!!!...

or so I thought....

On my way home, I looked down at my phone and saw that I had two missed phone calls. One from a foreign number and another from my friend Darius. I forgot to take my phone off of silent when I got off. I called Darius back and he seemed really weird. He asked if I received a phone call from a 704 number and I told him "yes." I asked if I should call that number back, completely oblivious as to what was going on. He went ahead and shared that someone was calling to deliver a Valentine's Day gift to me. I was totally shocked and told him that he could tell the person to leave it outside of my door since I was on the way home.

Of course, I SPED home and saw that flowers and a cute teddy bear, Mr. Cuddlesworth, were outside of my door. I was totally shocked!! One thing that I LOVED was that he didn't send roses!!! You guys know that I HATE roses and figured he remembered. When we talked about it, he said that he didn't like the idea of giving me something that everyone else would receive that day!!! He sent red tulips and his reason was because "red" represents LOVE and the "tulips" represent FRIENDSHIP!!! The card that came with it was very sweet! It's in my wallet now so I read it all the time!! See.. guys... he is so sweet!!!

Ok... I know you're probably wondering... "how did he get your address?!" Well, he was in town about a month ago and he joined me and my friends in attending a few gospel concerts. We all talked about a dvd called "Blessed and Cursed" that Mali Music and Dietrick Haddon were in. He ended up buying it when he went back to Arkansas. He asked for my address so he could send it to me so I could watch it!!! THAT IS HOW HE GOT MY ADDRESS!! He knew all along that he was going to send the flowers for Valentine's Day... Me on the other hand, I was checking my mailbox every other day for the DVD!! lol

How sweet?!!! smh I really like this guy... and NOT just because of how thoughtful and genuinely sweet he is. It does play a part in it though!

This is one Valentine's Day to remember!! I'm not the type who wants a lot or cares much about Valentine's Day. However, I DO love a guy who takes a little time to think about what would make me happy!!! ya know? He is currently WINNING guys... He's winning! lol

Anyway, that's my Valentine's Day!! I hope yours was great!!!

Until next time,

uuuggghhhhh

You ever say something and then after you said it.... wish you hadn't said it AT ALL?

That's totally how I feel about that last blog! The cool thing about blogs is that IF I WANT... I could totally delete that blog and go about my business..

But I won't!

Those were honest feelings, but I do feel the need to add that I'm not looking to be in a relationship anytime soon!! I mean yea, I like the guy, but I'm not looking to be his girlfriend like tomorrow!!! I'm all for being friends and seeing where things go! I mean... dating my best friend is what I've always wanted...

So I'm cool with life where it is!!!


I felt that THAT needed to be added... cuz after reading the blog myself I would have to say I seemed THIRSTY THAN A MUG!!! LOL

Signing off 4real this time!!!

Until next time,

Rambling.

So there's this guy.

Not just any guy....

A different guy..

But the same guy....

Get it?... Oh nevermind. It doesn't matter. All u need to know is that there IS a guy.

I like him and he doesn't know....

Which goes against who I am because when I like a guy I have NO PROBLEM telling him. In fact, most guys that I've dated have been because I reached out first. What can I say?!.... I go after what I want! lol That's not the case with this guy though. He saw me before I had any idea he existed... and then he reached out!

So yea...

We met years ago. Dated for months off and on and then we were no more. Why u ask?! Because I was still in love with someone else. I know... OUCH?! Unfortunately, he was the rebound guy. There was NOTHING wrong with this guy. He did everything right! He was kind, he genuinely cared about me, and was everything I looked for in a guy... physically!

He is....

Dark-skinned
4' inches taller than me
Can dress
Has the cutest lips
OH AND HE IS A DIE HARD FAN OF JESUS CHRIST!! (umm... yea, that's physical! It shows.)

and I let that go!!! smh LOOOOOOSING!!! So anyway... so he's back in the picture.... as a friend. We talk quite often and he has absolutely no idea that I like him again. I don't think I want him to know. Why?!... because I'm afraid that I'm not good for him! I mean really... there is something wrong with me....

I'm always down for a guy and then months later... I'm not into him anymore. I think it's a protective mechanism. I NEVER want to have my heart broken again... so what I do is get out before it's too late! I'm praying about it though... because I REALLLLY LIKE HIM! But in the meantime... I'll continue to protect his heart!

and then there's this "WHAT IF"...

WHAT IF...

he has ABSOLUTELY no interest in me as a girlfriend anymore! I mean, I did him wrong! smh I could QUITE POSSIBLY be LOSIN' right now!


Pray for me guys!!! lol


Whheeeww! I feel better already! Thanks for listening!!


Until next time,

Another snow day!!

I've lived in Tennessee all of my life and I can't remember EVER getting this much snow!! Let me rephrase that... I can't remember EVER getting snow as often as we have lately. I woke up this morning to what seems like 3 inches of snow. I know to everyone outside of Tennessee that seems like nothing... BUT TO US, it's CRAZY! It seems like it's been snowing at least once every one to two weeks! RIDICULOUS! This is my second day calling out of work because of this! Thank God I have PTO or I would NOT be getting paid to blog right now! lolOH WOOOWWW! My team lead just called and said that if I don't at least try to come in later, then I would get an occurrence! Wait what?! I missed work last Friday due to inclement weather and didn't get an occurrence. So what you're saying is, that you can give me an occurrence when you feel like it?! Not fair! I'm not just calling out to call out! The news said that we don't have enough SALT to put down on the roads to melt the ice! My team lead is working from home right now!... oooooo OK! So you want me to get on the road and risk MY LIFE and CAR and YOU get to chill at the house and take calls?! LOL... I am really LAUGHING OUT LOUD right now! The things you are allowed to do when you're A BOSS!!!!

Da dun dun!! -__- Signing off.


Until next time,

Date WEEKEND!!!

It's the weekend baabbbyyyy!!!

And guess what I'll be doing....

Dating my apartment. I don't plan on doing anything! I don't plan to see anybody.... It'll just be me, my apartment, and my 42' flat screen tv! *POW* lol! Sorry... I had to throw that in there.

I was supposed to go to the movies with some friends to see "Black Swan" tonight but I decided to do the responsible thing and stay my NO MONEY HAVIN' tail at home! Being financially responsible is one my many resolutions this year. I plan to stick to that. I will be traveling quite a bit this year and need to start the year off right, so I'll have the funds available to do just that... TRAVEL!! "Whhhoooooo hooooo!!!!," she yells with arms in the air!

*looks around and clears throat*

Anywhoo....

So far, I've eaten, watched a bunch of random television, and surfed the web. I've been thinking about cleaning and re-twisting my hair, but I'll save that for Saturday. Reclining in my chair, in my pajamas, watching "Pretty Woman" and blogging is way more fun!!


Anywhoo, I'm randomly blogging as I've done in the past! Just thought I'd update because it's been so long. So....

Until next time,
♥ Stix! :D

Did I tell you...

I know, I know. Where have I been?!

Everywhere and NOWHERE!. lol Life is good. So much has happened and I'm not so sure I have the time to fill you in. I'll do my best. Where do I begin?!

Did I tell you guys that I have a car now?! I guess I got it about a month or so ago. I don't really remember. It's a 2003 Ford Focus. It's cute as a button. My very own little vagina car. lol Sorry.... I think I heard Will Ferrell call a small car that once. Anyway, the car drives very well. I'm happy. I actually get to enjoy my apartment now. Before my car, I spent a lot of time at my friend's apartment because it was more convenient when it was time for me to head to work at midnight. Now when I get off, I can go home!!! ::sigh of relief:: Wait, wait! Before you take that the wrong way, I had a blast being with my friends. I just wished I were home instead sometimes. I mean really, why pay rent if you're never there, ya know?!

Speaking of work... Did I tell you guys about my new job?! I work in Franklin, Tn for a company called MedSolutions. It's a lot like the work I was doing before only I work during the day, am making more money, and am OFF ON THE WEEKENDS!!! Talk about a blessing from God! I couldn't be happier. Oh yea, and I can work as much overtime as I want. Lovin' it!

Did I tell you guys that I'm single now?! Oh... maybe I did. I think I was too bitter to talk about it in detail before. Although I'm far from bitter now, I'll spare you guys the details. Looking back now though, I realize that break up was for the best. We both needed time to get ourselves together. I mean, I was literally going through hell. I wasn't at a place where I could be a good girlfriend. I was so unhappy and it showed. I was overwhelmed with LIFE... I just didn't know how to focus on anything, but my situation. Even after we broke up, I don't remember ever missing him. I had too much going on. I think the other day I finally realized that he was gone. How jacked up is that?! I DO remember being upset with him because I felt DUMPED. lol It seemed like the worse time EVER to do that, but honestly it was the BEST time. Sometimes I think about us possibly working it out, but who knows. Friends for now works for me. Relationships tend to distract me from what I NEED to be doing anyway. I do miss him though. ::shrugs:: Anyway, he and I are still cool. We talk randomly every now and then. He's doing great as well.

Another ex-boyfriend and I started hanging out again. It has been great catching up and honestly I needed him. I needed some questions answered, some closure. I have that now. He and I don't talk as often as we once were, but I think that's probably for the best. I don't want to ruin what could possibly be a good friendship.

Did I tell you that I bought a new guitar?! Of course not, I just bought it the other day! lol Now that life is looking up, I decided that I was ready to play again. One problem... She was broken. Remember when I had her painted?! Well the guy ended up sanding off a very important part of my guitar: the nut. That is the very piece that keeps the strings off of the neck of the guitar. BUMMER. I went to Guitar Center to have her fixed and they told me that I would be better off buying a new one. Luckily, they were running a sale on their guitars. I got a really good deal on a guitar and new soft case. Looks like Lady Penne will be mounted on my wall now. :( My first baby! I nearly cried at the thought of never playing her again. So yea, the new guitar is cute. It plays well and will remain nameless until a name comes to mind. I will start guitar lessons soon. Time to get back on this thing 4real! I'll keep you updated on that one.

Anyway, like I said... Life is good.

I've bored you guys enough. We'll talk again soon!

Praying the best for you all. Take it from me... GOD IS REAL AND WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!

Until next time,
Stix
