Merry Christmas!

I know I've been away, but I've been working this season. It certainly hasn't been easy and I have been drained physically. I've been trying to keep up with exercising and eating right and this has not been an easy task.

Still God is faithful and I'm making it.

I recently discovered that I have an interest in someone. I would only grade it as a Crush right now because I only know him on the surface. But he has a smile that would light up any room and just seems to have a great personality. A smooth creamy chocolate and just all around handsome. I'll call him my Chocolate Mcdreamy.....

I've been chatting with him when I run into him and it doesn't hurt that he goes to my church. But I'll keep you updated on a possible connection. I'm working on it! LOL...

I hope everyone has a Fabulous Christmas! Be Blessed and Not Stressed!

Take Care of You!

Computer Love...

So amongst the changes that I've made with myself.. being natural and physical, I have decided to get back into the dating scene.

*sighs* Why is this so difficult?

The possibility of getting to know someone is exciting and at the same time nerve racking. With the age of the Internet there are all kinds of new possibilities to meet someone new. Someone you may not have ordinarily ran across.

So to expand my horizons I decided to join a couple of dating services online. I joined Match.com and Blackmendating.net.. (I think that's the name). I'm not entirely new to this arena and really it can be time consuming. I'm not in a rush so I am willing to take my time.

On these sites you do have to be careful. I never give my number to a man unless I feel absolutely comfortable. I need to get to know the person. I ask to chat with them online first before talking on the phone. Sometimes a chat can help you decide whether you want to take this to another level... trust me.. most times I can tell from just a chatty conversation.

If I like someone enough to after the chat and they make it to a phone call, I always offer to get their number and I tell them that I'm going to call them private.. until I get comfortable with them.

Then ... if they make it to meet me, I bring a friend, and she asks him for his I.D. and stays with me until I tell her it's okay to leave. It has been times in the past where I didn't feel comfortable (and I always meet at a public place) and I ended up leaving with her.... and out of their life.

So far since I've been back in the game... I can't even get past a chat conversation. I don't know if it's because I'm older and I'm just more aware of what I desire, or if its just some idiots out there..LOL.... But I've already cancelled my membership with Match.com... I've decided that It's just a Hookup site.

And that's another thing.. there are so many people on there who have girlfriends and wife's.. you really have to be careful.

With all that being said..... I know God will send the right one when it's time. But I am open to date again... and that's the first step.

Take care of you!

Living In the Spotlight....

By now everyone has heard about the tragedy with Jennifer Hudson. It's really shocker and so so sad. My heart and heartfelt sympathy goes out to her and family. This morning they found her 7 year old nephew dead in the suv.

All day on the radio, because Chicago is her hometown, they played songs of encouragement and the city continually called giving their condolences. Some crying, Some recanting their own horror stories of losing a loved one. The whole City seemed to be aching.

In my worst dreams I could not imagine what the family is going through. Jennifer had to go and I.D. all of the bodies. Imagine the sheer horror of that. But most of all losing those that are closest to you in a blink of a moment. To get a phone call while your working telling you that something terrible has happened. At that moment trying to recall the last conversation you had. Did you tell them you Love them? You appreciated them. When was the last time you gave a hug to someone.... and the last argument.... why did we even argue? It just doesn't matter anymore.

But most of all I know that everyone is saying... oh Jennifer... but what about the sister who has had a great loss. Her 7 year old son. She has to feel so bad. You lost your Mom, brother and your son. What a blow.

Love your family. Those around you and cherish life.. It is much too short.

Take care of u....
