Sorry sisters...

I know you've both been calling/txting me. I am getting dressed to walk my children and will call both of you during.

Rruuufff: I am Saatchi Abbott-Wylie

Rrrrruff, Hi Aunties!
I am getting so big and bold. Just before Mommy took these photos I super ran fast down 12 stairs and surfed down the remaining 5. I tumbled and tumbled but I ultimately made it to my goal...Mommy's pile of dirty laundry!!! Currently, I steal socks, panties, and t-shirts and hide them under the futon bed. I have 3 beds! O.K. so Mommy says I now only have two cause I ate a huge hole in my newest red bed.
I didn't quite get why Daddy brought me this big tan tub and then put my wee wee pads in it as if I was going to now pee in it. I kept missing the the step up into the tub so Mommy got fed up and put my wee pads back on the floor and Daddy eventually put a pillow in the tub and rrrufff my new biggest tub bed. But my favorite bed is the one I've had since I was a baby. I'm a big boy now. I went to the doctors and Mommy says she likes taking me to the doctors better than Daddy. She says Daddy always cries when he has to get a shot, but I got two shots and I didn't even cry. I take my medication everyday. Mommy says she has to remind Daddy to take his meds everyday.
. But Mommy says I can be just as hard-headed as Daddy cause I don't listen...just like Daddy. I'm in the my bed by 11 and up with Mommy by 6:30. I hate the mornings, Hate them!!! Mommy calls me and calls me but it's too cold to go out side and squat. But I sure love to eat my breakfast! Everyone please enjoy my pics. I have to say I wasn't totally thrilled on taking them but Mommy says I am very cute.
Love you all,
Saatchi

In Preperation

As, I sit here to prepare my Christmas dinner. Yes you heard me correctly I am preparing Christmas dinner. I have decided to spend Christmas with my other family. you know the ones that my real mother gave birth too. :) Will gave me his foodies to go and do a little shopping. So coupled with all the free seafood that I received from Wholefoods (well the bootleg one anyways SPNM) but it said wholefoods on the lable so that's my story and I am sticking too it. So anyway I went and did some shopping and I will be having the original. Sticky chicken, jag, veggies, sorry dad no ham, broccoli casserole, yams, shrimp and scollops baked, and salmon. and to top it off with someapple pie truffle and ice cream. Then I am on to Shannons for her party appitizers and drinks. coupled with going to Hollee's and PD's and Salina's to see my godson whom I have not seen in ages. My day will be full. So who is on my guest list for my orginal family list. Tara, Kise n Kids, John, Will and his girlfriend. Unfortunatly they can only have small servings cause the foodies did not go a long way. If I do not get a chance to see or talk to everyone. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. oh yeah before I forget NEXT YEAR THIS TIME I WILL BE COMING BACK FROM A CRUISE. CAUSE A SISTER IS COLD.

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas!! And I'm on Vaaaccation!

Yes, it's a little strange not getting things together and making the hike up to R.I. for the tradition candied yams, broccoli casserole, and salmon topped with shrimp and scallops, which has all become a customary part of our Christmas Dinner.. ..but it is what it is! As I stated earlier, I will be staying home for the obvious reasons and chilling in front of the fireplace watching movies. I'll cook some of the above with a large side of fresh baby spinich, artichoke, parmasean cheese, and olive oil salad. My new most favorite salad!!! And just keeping it all simple. However, I can say this--over the last two-three years I (let me speak for myself and you all can holla if you feel me!) have managed to pack on some extra pounds between the endless eating on the cruises and then coming back home to cook Christmas dinners. I feel great knowing that this year is just the opposite.The cruise was traded in for the non-stop walking through-out Italy in combination with great healthy (non chemical) food which put me in the pound negative catorgory. Leonia, you wouldn't be sporting that size 8 if you were on a cruise. So now our mission is to plan for next year's festivities and still keep our figures for the 2009 new year. OMG did I say 2009!!!
In the meantime, I would like to wish you all very very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Year. Please be safe and I love you all!

Misha

This is bad...

I can't believe Im flying solo for Christmas when I don't have/prefer to. I haven't decided my schedule, but it definetly includes house hopping. I am not sure if I will do it this weekend or on Christmas Day.

Guess this Christmas goes down in the books as a bad one. Oh well, nevermind this sorry one, let's start planning the cruise for this time next year. I do not want this to ever happen again. We're cruising...at least we can say we did something together.

Happy Anniversary

I would like to extend my congratulations on the Wylie couple. The only thing that I can say is I wish that I was in St. Thomas right now soaking up the sun. Cause it is as my mother would say colder than a well diggers A&* now I do not know how she would know this but anyway it must be pretty cold. I hope that the two of you enjoy yourselves on this joyous day.

Love Evie

Christmas at Shannon's

Hi, everyone I have been invited to Shannon's for Christmas she is having light snacks. So I have decided to take her up on her offer to come to her little get together. Hope no-one is disappointed that I will not be cooking. Leonia I still owe you one and I have not forgotten.

You down with OPP

I love going shopping with OPP(Other Peoples Property)(Money) I just had the time of my life going shopping for things without a care in the world. Not having to worry about should I or shouldn't I. My first store I hit was K-B toy store where I spent 153.00 on do dads. Then I hit the store where Will once worked. (national wholesaler liquidators. Where I spent 375.00 with buying 5 mp3 players 2 ipod's and 2deluxe keyboards. Then I was off to walmart where I spent another 140.00 buying a stereo system and games and toys. So with another 400 left to spend I called it a night and decided to take a break. I think I will just to gift cards for the rest. People are so generous this time of year. Electric Boat spent 5K on toys for the kids. They should have given me this money I would have rocked it. They only got alittle for what they spent why cause they shop at Toys R Us.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday. Well what is it like being another year older. No different right. Until you try to put on those pants that dont fit anymore and you need a better bra to lift them up. more comfortable shoes. and When your back goes out more than you do. Honey look out. Hope you have a pleasant one. Make sure you come down for Christmas so we can celebrate in style with the favorate liqs of your choice.

Success!

My dearest family,

I am happy to announce that my presentation was a full on success. My *sh was together and I rocked it. I was sure to arrive early and spent some time bonding with the receptionist. She was to become my allie.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen. My name is Leonia Abbott and I am excited to show you my design for your space. Allow me to first walk you through your new space and then I tell you about the materials I chose before heading into smaller details of certain areas..."

And it just flowed like butta on a hot biscuit. I received many compliments a 2 concerns; 1 of which I already knew but wasn't going to change so I acted humble.

Now Im not the one to pat myself on the back, but damn, my *sh was correct compared to some the messy boards that I saw up there. I kept it quiet knowing I had done my best and it worked itself out.

Later as I saw myself out, I stopped by my new friends desk and humbly said, "I hope this isn't presumptuous but I'd like to leave my resume for Mr. Finegold or a hiring rep."
"Sure, I personally will make sure Nancey receives it."
"Thank you. Please let her know I addressed it to Mr. Finegold because I did not know who it should be addressed to."
"Absolutely, we'll even send a copy next door to the Lucas Design."
"Oh Thank You so much...you've been so kind. Have a great night and Merry Christmas."

Yup! That's right I dropped my resume. I didn't think I'd have the guts, but I did. I am proud even if nothing comes of it; though it will. [the secret]

IM FINISHED!!!!!

Christmas

Is it Christmas time already. The days and nights have been flying by that I have forgotten that Christmas is near. Hope everyone has a joyous one.

Goodies, Goodies and more Goodies

Hi, well I went through all the things I bought and guess what. The sales lady forgot to charge me for 3 items. 3 Items all totalling 97.00 oh yeah. So I said to myself what would my family do. Take door No 1 Mother would take it back to the store and say hey you forgot to charge me for this. Door # 2 Sister #1 would have a fight with her id and ego. and Door # 3 the baby would be No H--- this is mine to keep and thanks alot. So I chose Door # 3 its mine damn it mine all mine.

The Assigment

Twas the night before and I received the phone call. It was a record message saying that there will be a secret revealed tomorrow so If I want to partake in it I must be at the secret location at 09:00am.
Well, I wanted to see if I still had it or not. Sometimes people always want to capture something out of their youth and this was going to be my goal. As I awoke Saturday after having a stressful sleep due to the fact that I Yvette Kenner was going to do something today that I have not done in a long time. I jumped up showered and refreshed it was now 8:00am and my journey would begin. But who could I get to go with me {my partner in crime was in NJ)So I was faced with a multitude of choices. Should I enlist the baby? No she has homework up the ying yang. Should I enlist Shannon? NO she is going to work. Should I enlist Mommy? NO she does not answer calls. So I enlisted a person who has never been on mission like this before. I have recruited a newbe TARA. Let's see if she and even I have what it takes to carry out this assignment. I called her up told her of the plan and she was down for the taking. So I told her she had 5 minutes to get dressed and the I will pick her up at 08:30 hours. I was at her house with no time to spare. Our first stop was the DD where I had the usual Medium Regular. I needed this to jump start the fire burning within. We arrived at our 2nd location at 09:00 (Lane Bryant) As I walked in the store I seen bright lights, flashy colors, and clothes. Lots and Lots of clothes. Oh what to choose from. I searched the highs and lows the sales, clearance and regular priced merchandise. The store already had 40 percent of everything in the store for today only so that was an addded bonus. But I was armed with a secret weapon. I had $225.00 in free did you get that FREE coupons. aaah sorry I just had a orgasm. (smile). Yep no sex in 9 years dont take me much. So anyway back to the mission. As I picked and prodded my way through things Tara the newbe was not a total lost she was good for one thing. She was the holder of the merchandise. After 3 hours it was time to finally bring my purchases up to the front. and guess what after sales and discounts and coupons alike it was only $236.00. with a whopping savings of $499.68 aaah (orgasm) Next it was lunch time and then the rest of the stores my newbe was tired so I dropped her off like a hot potato and picked up another culprit. Will. Yup you guessed it another newbe. it is now 14:00 hundred hours and we are off to the next location and the next and the next. by the time We were done it was 34 o:clock 34 o'clock now where did I see this time before. Oh year that's right when I was away tired as He(() loosing my damn mind. but yup I seen it again 34 o'clock. It was time to carry myself home with goodies in tow. The real time was 9:36 and yes ladies and gentleman I STILL HAVE IT.

Yay...

The hard part is done and now i have to breathe, smile, and chat it up, professionally of course, with Mr. Finegold, Mr. Alexander, + Associates.

In the stretch...

Another night of projecting and im in the final stretch. Tomorrow after I get in my me time with my pups, I will go to some of the local improvement stores to see what I can use on my board. Then I will paste my board together. Last I will revamp my speech that I prepared earlier this evening. It's looking good.

Joining the rest of you in bed now...

Hear, hear...

Project #4 is finished and already turned in to the professor. I will still go to class just in case he has any additions, but i'm starting to feel Wednesday's freedom. And I get paid next week. It is about to be a wrap...or a new pair of shoes!

Early Days and Late Nights

Well, Sometimes wheen you get what you wish for. You say to your inner self what in the world was I thinking. Well I wanted a job that I can go to when I wanted and dont go when I do not want. Well as it seems it never quite works out that way. I have been at SPNM every night this week calling people begging for money for SPNM and what I really want to say is I this is Yvette Kenner a Volunteer st SPNM and we are having our local Phon a thon and we noticed that you gave last year and was wondering if you would like to give again this year. Oh you would thatst great then all you have to do is make the check payable to Yvette Kenner and send it back in this self addressed pre stamped envelope and make sure you do not forget the apartment number yes that is correct D410.

"Swoosh went the wind"

Well, I rolled over onto Yoshi thinking I love Saturdays when my spirit said "No girl, today is Tuesday and you have a presentation your missing. FHUK!!! My phone, which died last night, was not on even though I thought I had turned it on when I plugged it in before bed!

So 10am, and Im jumping out of bed. Dominican shower, clothes from yesterday, boys to park, project, books, and out the door. The drive was pretty easy despite my lack of concentration and there was a parking spot waiting for me. Great. As Im walking down the street, swoosh went the wind and my drawing went with it. MOTHERFHUK@%^*$##%&*(&%$@##$%^&*!!

That was my breaking point. In tears, I recovered the rest, took as many deep breaths as I could given my hyperventilating, and walked quietly into class. Students were presenting and Im thinking, damn, my project is outrageous and I can't even show it. However, I am my sisters' sister, I had to make it work.

My turn had come and the teacher told me not to worry about being late because he had gotten a late start as well; yessss (internal gloating). "Thank you and I apologize for being late. I also have to apologize for this." I show the rest of the board which is neatly assembled despite the obvious missing drawing from the center. "Visualize with me as I draw for you the floor plan which has gone missing..."

I draw the plan, explan what goes where, I knew my colors, I knew my designers, I knew my fabric blends and I fhuqin rocked it okay! I had visuals and received comments from the class and excellent corrective critisms from the professor.

"Can you try to find the drawing?" he asked, so out side I went to look in the busy streets. I needn't go further than the front door. The drawing somehow, no by the grace of the universe or God; whichever your preference, made it literally to the front door of the building. Picking it up, I ran upstairs and showed him. DRAMA.

Quite the exciting day and it's only 12:50. Now, like i mentioned earlier, I have to put together the finishing touches on my 4pm geometry project.

Love yous...

1 down...

3 to go.

It's 3am and I just finished my 12x18 foot living room with fireplace design. After 3 weeks of nail biting and materials hunting, I've finally got it together. Wish me luck as I will present it to the class tomorrow morning at 9AM...that's right, in just 6 hours!

My next project will be later on today at 4pm in my geometry class. Times have changed and there are presentations to be done even in geometry...ridiculous. However, I have a cool idea which I will finish hatching out tomorrow around 1ish. Nothing like that last minute rush!

By 7pm I will enter my Computer Aided Design (CAD) class where I will continue to work on the 3rd of my final projects due. Responsibly, I finished half the work and am waiting to be taught the second half in class tomorrow. That's right, the f'n teacher wants us to complete it in a way he hasn't even taught, but you know how it goes.

I will work on the rest of the CAD project until late tonight and tomorrow night and hopefully, no, undoubtedly get it done and out of the way. At this point (or Friday depending how much I can take) I can come home and draft up the final two drawings that have been recently added to my pain stakingly long office project...color it in, board it up aesthetically with pics and finish my speech cards. The on Monday at precisely 1230p I will be the 1st present to the Principal Owner of one of the top Architectural Firms in the nation. That's right again, lucky me, I drew card #1 out of the little hat so I get to go first.

All this and Im fresh out of Fhukit! >:/

Wish I were somewhere else, but one day I will be...love yous

The Other Woman in My Life

I never, ever thought I could feel this way. It reminds me of the feeling you get in junior high school when the cutest boy in school finally notices you-- or so you think. Your heart skips a beat, every time you pass him in the hall, or in the cafeteria. You get all choked up while the butterflies flutter to flight from your throat to your stomach and back to your throat therefore leaving you with absolutely nothing to say. Your school nights become sooo long because you all of sudden can't wait to be in school. And when you arrive at school it becomes a 6-hour dance of-- will I see him? and will he notice me again? Will he ask me out? I am so in love!!! Well, that is how I feel right now! I am dancing that dance yet again. I have found a place in my heart that makes me feel like I am alive! And it feels great! Nobody, but nobody has every made me feel this way since high school. Even though it been 13 days since I last seen her, I can still feel everything about her. She is truely amazing! She embodies everything I aspire be. Charm, eloquence, polished. In one hand she has modern worldly sophistication and in the other hand she grips her history with a firm hold. It holds true about her style; she mixes the old with the new--high-end designer with a little ghetto fabulous. She is as diverse as they come. However, she is a bit of a whore. She'll let you in, make you feel like you are the only one but she will gladly remind you that she is a lavishly kept women and that you will have to pay an exorbitant price to keep her company. That is when she devastatively broke my heart and sent me back home to my husband. I couldn't afford to keep her. She is an expense that my life style just cannot afford...for now. As my anxious heart aches to see Italia again, I have made a promise to myself that I will have her... all of her, and she will have me.

ciao, misha

After Party

Well our Thanksgiving was great. We did what all folks do Eat and then fall asleep. I guess I am still on Italy time because I have been up since 3:15 this morning so I decided to do what I do best and that ladies and gentleman is shop. and shop is what I did I did the Black Friday mess all in the comforts of my home. My purchases should be arriving sometime in the next 2 weeks. I am loving this.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving family, I hope everyone is enjoying themselves since you all stood us up; but it is al good. We are on our way to the market now to get our Thanksgiving food. We are having baked mac, candid yams, and the such.

My name is Keya

I literally stayed my patoot in bed all day and it felt great. Now I know why she does it. Im still laying in bed, even now as I type. I put the keyboard on the chair and wheeled it to the bed and viola!

On our Way

Hey, we are officially on our way to the airport so this will be the last blog for the time being. Yes I know I need to be hated on today I really not have had any haters today. As for Thanksgiving they only take Cash no Credit. and guess what they do sell pizza good pizza too.

I'm starving..

..and ya'll got me looking at this elaborate food menu. It looks good but you know "those" people dont use any seasonings so it probably tastes like crap.

Now that Misha has mentioned it, I want the usual. I will make the candied yams. so that leaves fish/chicken, brocc, bak mac, and cake. I believe this is a small enough menu so we do not get overwhelmed.

What say you?

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi Family, Happy Thanksgiving. I need not say no more. This speaks for itself. This is all at Whole Foods which is open on Wednesday until 10pm and Thanksgiving Day until 3. No we will not be going hungry.

I'm on Vaaaacaaaation, I'm on Vaaaaccccaaaaaation!!!

Yes everyone, I am officially on vacation! I am taking a much needed break from the "Big O" which by the way I am happy to share with my family that I will be the assistant producer to my director working on the Avon productions. So what's the big deal you ask? Well, funny you should ask:) Only a selected few get a chance to work along side the queen bee and I am that chosen individual ladies and gentleman. And to add to that, there is a strong possibility I will be in Poland for December to do an Avon shot. More than likely I will probably be the only "block" person there because, well to be honest with you, we are not the biggest fans of the cold!" but W.T.H I'm going for the experience and the stamp on my passport. Speaking of passport, our European travels start in a matter of two days? How excited am I! Like sip and dip! I am going to finally experience each page of my art history book or at least try. Here's a little trivia: Who were the first individual to invent the apartment? No, it's not Barbara Jordan. It was the Romans! And while I am walking around I am going to check out just how much Julius Caesar was digging on the original diva Cleopatra. And lastly, I feel the need to check into the past of one the greatest African warrior of all history-- Hannibal Barkus, who conquered Italy for 15 years. aaaah history- don't you just love it.
Ciao,
Misha

Ka Ka Ka Kia

Where are you Kia, It is so nice of you to join this lovely blog of ours now we just have to get you to post something. You know Mariah Carey if its worth your while then post something post something. As you can see I am in a happy mood.

The Target Elite Membership Club

Michelle, has joined the Target Elite membership club. Now don't get it twisted it is pronounced Tarrrget. Where we are on our way right now to break it in. So anyone can be a member of this club there is just one catch. You must have good credit. So for all of you haten right now it will be o.k. Just stop by your nearest store or online and see if you too can be an elite member of this exclusive club. The season will be just right also. GLOBAL BAZAAR is coming soon.

Where is everyone?

I have been here a couple times over the last few days and no one has posted.

This is my first blog from school. Being the estudious person I am, I came to do my homework only to find that classes are being held in each of the 3 labs that have Auto CAD on the computers. This school sucks.

First, there should be more labs and two should not hold classes so students are able to have computer access at all times. Second, every design related program (ie. photoshop, CAD, 3dMax, etc.) should be installed on each computer so no one is limited. For a design/art school, they have poor design skills. Do you know they dont even consult the design professionals who are employed by the school?!

I asked my teacher this morning...they school doenst even consult the very architechts and designers that they employ. They just hand the projects to other architechs to create the buildings. The hired architechts dont even ask the teaching arch's what they need in the class-shame.

Anyway, my office plan turned out great, I have a few adjustments, but Im well on my way. And today I just received another project. I have to leave my job. Between teaching my kids and learning my trade, I am on overload. Any suggestions?

Well, well, well...

...look who has decided to join our lil' club!

Hey Keya!

Hi family

I have been procrastinating on my office design project. I used Saturday as a much needed mental relief day ( no jokes please ).

The days are getting cold and short and the work load is still the same; if not more. I went to work with a little girl this morning (yes, a Saturday morning) whose parents have no follow thru. Then after a successful session, I went home. I could not relax so I showered, then Keya and I decided we needed breakfast; to Bickford's we went. Breakfast was great, but the end it was 2:30 and I promised Nari I would take him to the park. He had not been in two whole days!
At the park, there was a boxer who was in heat, and Nari just knew it was him time to become a man. He chased her all over the park and punked every other male who tried to claim his piece. That's my boy! Finally I had had enough and we left.
Now 3:30, there's no way Im going to begin working. Keya had gone to home depot to get plastic for the windows because we keep waking up in cold sweats. However, with plastic, one must determine whether they want their blinds open or closed. We have plants so we want them open. Then began my search for curtains.
Ikea was packed to the brim with holidayers and so Ipodded my way through. No curtains, so I left. Then I saw an fabric outlet closeout sale, great material, but I had to realize I wasn't going to make any of the great ideas of which I had thought. So, none of you will be receiving wool scarves. Then my sister mentioned I should use my old curtains. I agreed, and used the money I would have spent towards a new sweater, scarf, and bra.
Later, Keya and I got tipsy at our favorite neighborhood restaurant and avoided friends we were suppose to hang out with!

Life's good!

It's Crip da Cronic Cronalike.

So My Sister made it to New Jersey, Where we had a crab for Me a crab for her and a crab for the baby. Oh sorry the baby is not here this weekend sorry guess you dont get none. Cause this S*#@ right here Ni%%ah is crip da cronic cronalike. Go ahead say something I'll wait. I just need one more hater and I have met my quoter for the rest of the year.

I'm on Vacation, I'm on Vacation

Yup, its official I am on vacation. I do not want to see an LVA, SPNM or any other abbreviated name dealing with work. No email, Nophone calls nada. Counting down the days for me to sit in an Italy bar sipping espresso, NOT. I'll do a latte. but first Crocketts here I come.

I've had a Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Today was the day from hell, It started off with me doing the dreaded audit that I hate to do every year around this time. Then to go to the doctors who by the way was a Brown Med Student. ( You think that should have given me a clue? So anyway she took my blood pressure and it was sky high. So back on the pills again. So I told her that I have what I thought was the SUPER BUG but it only turned out to be a boil under my arm. So super nurse came running in the office and said oh they can take you right now. Who can do what? Oh they can take you over at the medical building to get that surgically removed. Oh is that so, well I am not having nothing surgically removed not today anyway. Lady did you not hear me when I said I was going to Italy? No, I will not be looking Miko Fabolous if I have bandages under my arm with mess oozing out. Oh no ____! So did I get the hint then? No. So then the doctor (student) said oh I will give her some anitbiotics and she can have it done when she comes back. So I take the prescriptions and say doctor (student) umm who's prescription is this? Why yours she replies. I said oh cause my name is not Yvette Bertram. So did I get the hint then? No so good ole doc gives me another prescription and says go ahead and have this filled and you will be fine. So I take to CVS to get filled and then off to SPNM (Calvery) So why did I go there just to get more angry. Well I walk into the office where a client was calling one of my staff people a Black BI and I said who what when why how. I said lady if you knew what was good for you. You will leave this establishment now. NOW! and she dare replied who are you. Moi! I am the head BLACK BI here. and you my dear are dismissed no food no help no nada nothing zilch zippo. what ever langugae you want to hear it in get to steppin. Add another hater to my list. So as I sit in my little office half listening to this women go on and on about who know what cause I really am not paying her any mind. I finally say to her I sorry I really am not paying any attention to you cause I am just too busy. Now I know that was mean but dang can a sister just rest for a minute before the bombard you with dumb questions. People like to talk just to hear themselves talk. So by then I get a phone call from Will telling me that the Doctor (student) is trying to call me to tell me that they gave me Penicillion. Now everyone in the world knows I am allergic to Penicillion. So I go to the drug store to pick the the scripts and then the pharmacist tells me oh this is not penicillon I said now who should I beleive. the doctor(student) or the pharmacist (from africa). I left it all there and took what I knew which was my blood pressure meds.

To my gracious family

Although we are far apart, I love you dear.
And to much of my joy Christmas is near.

I need a Architechtural Graphic Standards book
so that I may become a rich and famous designer/architech!
You may collaborate on this task to spread the debt.
Pleeeeeezzz!

Canon Power Shot S400

Well, I finally decided it was time to take a look at the Camera that has been lying around in non working order. I sat down jumped on the famous Google website and let my fingers do the walking throug cyber space. And low n behold what did I find, Canon has a recall on my camera. It knows of the all too famous "Memory Card Error" and will fix and or replace this for free. Now I ask myself. Self, you are slipping why did it take you 1 year 2 months and 29 days to ask Google. Only dumb people answer themselves back, so I had no reply. :) But none the less I must now go out and buy a digital throw away for my trip to Italy. Isn't it strange that I also have a brother in law that is a photagrapher and I had to do this research. "Funny you should mention this"

Two Thumbs Up for "Talk to Me"

Misha & I had the pleasure of viewing this amazing film. Directed by a very talent Africa American, Kasi Lemmons. Not only is this a true story, but it spot lights the great untold stories within our culture. If you have the time, this is a must see film.

It's the Countdown Baby!!!

I guess by now we are all aware of Yvette and my mini trip to Italy. All I can say at this point, is the excitement is escalating more and more as the week starts and moves towards the end. Yvette will be traveling here, to The Glen, on this Friday (by hook or crook) and my last day of work in the following Monday. Glory to be a vacation!!! We have done an sufficant amount of reseach,(Thank you God for Google) with an equal amount of personal interviews with individuals that have made a recent or regular trip over. In my fantasy shopping my purchases consisted of Prada, Gucci, and something swank made by an independent designer. But, reality reminds me that the Euro is nothing and I'll be lucky to return with a good bottle of Olive Oil. No worries, there is always the next time.

On a different note, Starbucks is under construction right next to the Bottle King! I may make this my new work office.

Shopping Spree

Yes, I went on a shopping spree. I was a DIVA in its self. I sass shayed my self right into Lane Bryant and said can you hold my bags and start a dressing room for me because I am going to shop till I drop. And shop I did, 4 hours later I walked out of that store knowing all sales ladies. They held all of my bags in their office until I finished shopping inside other parts of the mall. I felt like I was on top of the world. So 5 shopping bags later I went home and crashed. I think if we did not have that Nor'Easter I would have continued like there was no tomorrow. I still had over 300 left to spend; So I thought to myself there is always tomorrow :)

Will Has a Job

Yup, That's right Will has a job. He works for a place called Jones Warehouse Moving Company. He had this job before and they laid him off so now he is back. He likes it, I guess cause he likes money. He is still out there looking to see if something better comes along; for this is only a temp job and we all know how temp jobs work.

Denzel's Crib

No, I did not take this picture. However, I
did think that this was a nice little place to
call home.

Yes, We were somewhere eles...........

Can you name the island, which is the land of these photos....

First 24 Hours

Well, as this blog comes to a close on its first 24 hours of inception I am happy to see that some family members have had the time to add their comments and thoughts. I still need to hear from the rest of the fam. Mommy, Daddy, Misha, Keya, Swill. If I can do it and I am the CEO of two companies and My brother in Law can do it and he is the CEO of his company and The baby can do it in between her being a Tori Amos groupie,(being seen), I mean being heard on you tube, and her being MIKO fabulous, then I know the rest of you can do it.
Come on people get with the 21 century!

Three very special people will once again enjoy this view. And for the rest of us, here is a moment to take part within the journey.

Please know that are hearts and love is with you.......... awaiting your return home.

The Baby

That's right, I said it! No worries, I am growing up. The other day, I realized I have joined the many people who are stressed out with too many things to check off the list of things to do. No moment to sit or chat, as you may have noticed from my lack of phone calls; not even in traffic. I have to prioritize my list every chance I get.

So, this morning, my sister Evie said she created a blog spot for us. My initial reaction was NO ____!!! Later this afternoon while working, dilegently I might add, I checked my email and saw my invite...how could I resist. Now sitting here, it feels good to have a was to communicate to everyone at once. Family communication has really changed over the years!

I imagine mommy might need some help setting up her account. Yvette said she would help her out this weekend. :) What a good daughter!

So, daddy moved....again! That was my initial reaction as I have been thinking I haven't seen any of my father's "new" apartments since I bunked with him for a summer in Eatontown. That's bad!

Well, it's Halloween and Keya & I are going to dinner and a movie; a scary one of course. The boys are cute as always and send their howls.

Love you, family!
The baby

Will there be a house warming party for Mr. A.

Bottom Line we need an excuse to visit the new pad.

Maybe he right on the water.

In the Know

Did any of you know that Daddy has moved? Yup he did. He now lives in a place called lockwood, lakewood something like this.( I think) next to Bricktown. He moved last week. He threw out his old stuff and when he comes back he will be buying new stuff. Horray shopping spree! Mommy we can go their and decorate is house with his money!

New Position

Hi all, just a note to let everyone know that I have taken on an additional position. I am now the acting director of SPNM. This will be for about 4 months to start to then see where we are going. It may last longer than that. What I like about this position is I get to pick and choose when I want to be there and when I don't. Nice! Plus the pay is not bad either.

Thanksgiving

Hi, Thanksgiving is going to be held at the Southern Loft (New Jersey). Myself and Michelle will just be getting back from Italy so we thought this would be the perfect place. Please all RSVP.
