     I have been blessed that I have been to many places on this beautiful planet.  A place that is especially close to my heart is Japan. I taught English in Japan from 2003-2005 and it was the best 2 years of my life. Enjoy!

Day 4: Name Your Bad Habits

>> Monday, September 5, 2011

     Hello my lovely blog readers!  I hope that you are enjoying this 30 Day Challenge.  Today, we will be discussing my bad habits.  My main bad habit is that I am president of the procrastination nation.  I have always been this way and unfortunately, I work best when I work at the last minute.  I admit that there have been times that this has been really stressful, but I am working on getting more done sooner rather than later.  I have recently cut my nail biting habit,but there are times when I am really stressed or anxious that I go back.  I have let my nails grow and then I get a mani and then my nails look so nice that I can't bite them.

I saw THE DEBT last night, it was great!  If you like drama (laced with some violence) check it out.

Happy Labour Day!

Day 3: Pic of You and Your Friends

>> Sunday, September 4, 2011

     I LOVE my friends.  I have the nicest friends that anyone could ask for.  Unfortunately most of them live out of the city (luckily in the same city so I only have to make one stop).  Hmmmm, looks like I need to move to Toronto...



A and I go back to high school, she is one of the smartest people I know, here we are at her 30th birthday last year.
Here we are in 2009 in Costa Rica, A is honest, no bs and tells it how it is, a great trait to have in a friend.





A's sister E is brilliant , beautiful and used to be the best workout buddy a girl could ask for before she moved. 
She always has wise words of advice and knows how to have a good time

Nan and I met in University.  She is a wonderful friend and came to visit me when I lived in Japan

Nan and I always have a great time when we are together, we also share a love of shoes and the finer things in life
A2 and I taught together at my school, she then went to Howard to pursue an MBA, not she is living the good life in T.O.
I love her cause she laughs at all my stupid ass jokes, she loves to travel and is my rock when I need anything.


These are the main ladies in my life and if I ever get married they will be the bridesmaid lineup.  I love them so much and I am so blessed to have them in my life, they have been there for me through thick and thin.  You know that you have a good friend when you are around them after not seeing them for a long time you realize how special they are.  I know that some of them read this blog once in a while.  If you read this I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me, I love you guys more than words can say!

Black Girl Gets Fit

No explanation needed, I am a black girl and I need to get fit.  I find it is short and catchy.  I love it.

In other news, I went back to hot yoga last night, I haven't been in a LONG time it was great and just what I needed.  I also purchased another one of those deals of the day things for a Bikram yoga (hot yoga also) studio for a month, so I am going to try and go as much as possible for the month. 

I am turning over a new leaf, I woke up yesterday and said to myself that I am going to put effort back into my weight lose, watch what I eat and drink water and cut out sodas.

I was talking a friend at work and we are going to attempt the 30 Day Shred after work a few times a week.  She recently took a family photo and was not pleased with how she looked, her husband has been doing p90X and has lost a crazy amount of weight and she wants to step up her game so I mentioned Jillian.  Another friend just had her second baby so she is on board too, I am excited to expose then to the world of Jillian, hope they don't hate me.

Have a great weekend!
