My Birthday!

So today is my Birthday!!!!  I am 30 something........lol  It's crazy 'cause I once thought the age that I am now was old and now when I hear 20 somethings say 30's is old I look at them crazy lol
I am thankful to see another birthday......God has definitely blessed me thus far.  In spite of all my hangups and disobedience He yet keeps His hands on me.  I don't have anything planned for today besides work and can't think of a time that I ever took off for my Birthday from work......always just planned for the weekend *kanye shrug*

I got out on Sunday for a Poetry Event (FUN) but this Saturday I plan to attend a Basketball Game after CASA Training and then head over to my favorite Sushi spot with some friends.  :-) 

Will try to take lots of pictures to post!

Holistic Change.....

So I've decided to go "Natural".  My outlook on the "Natural" move though does not only apply to my hair.  I've always eaten a lot of baked foods and am very consistent with what I eat daily.  I can have the same Turkey sandwich for lunch, same Oatmeal for breakfast, same snack, etc.  But recently I've been eating more Clean foods thanks to E-meals, a program developed by Dave Ramsey (Financial Guru).  I have given up on coffee (please keep me in prayer because I am a Starbucks JUNKIE), and have been having green tea every morning and some other type before retiring to bed.  I've also been keeping my home cleaner.  Now I'm not saying I'm just dirty, clothes everywhere, toothpaste, etc.  I keep my car cleaned, bathroom, etc.  But I don't go back and dust or just give that fresh wipe down as I believe I should.  Also, I had been wearing braids for almost 3 months and finally took them down.  I had decided to try "Two Strand Twist".  My goal is to go through 2013 without any chemicals and possibly heat.......but we'll see about the later.  Anywhoo - while washing/deep conditioning my hair I begin to fold 3 loads of clothes that have been just sitting, cleaned bathroom, rearranged my sink area adding some candles, and just trying to declutter.....yea that's it - I have clutter issues smh.  I can straighten up a pile of junk and make it look really nice lol  Hey.....  But I'm trying to do better with that.  I have papers, folders, just junk that I need to toss without even looking at.  The most important paperwork I already have filed away and looking through the pile will only lead me to some crazy thought that it needs to be kept again so NOPE - TRASH.  I have a couch I've been trying to sell on Craig's List and have had no luck with that either.  It is taking up space in my dining area and I just want it out so will be calling around to see what places I can donate to that also will pick it up because my goal is to have it out before the New Year.

Dating - So how often should one talk to the person they are seeing?  I love talking on the phone but also love texting.  Are you able to go a day without talking to the one you're involved with?  Maybe I am too clingy....?  But I don't think a phone call a day is asking too much. S and I usually text back and forth during Football Sunday but yesterday he was pretty busy.  I again got upset with him the night before, jealous of him attending yet another party while I sat at home and realized that I NEED TO GET OUT MORE!

During the summer my children go to California with their family for the entire summer and this year I actually was out EVERY weekend.  Told myself that I would make a date with myself every month and failed tremendously so guess I will add that to my "Holistic Journey" as I make these changes for a better me.
