i miss you...

I cued the TLC station i created on www.Pandora.com and the music selections they keep playin' for me are off-tha-chain! they frequent hits by Aaliyah & Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes (of TLC), two of my most fave female music artists of all time. each left us less than 10 years ago...and i miss them both dearly. I was attracted not only to their ability to marry tom-boy styles with their femininity but i love how they left their mark on the ears, minds, & hearts of many. i never tire of hearing their music and am appreciative when radio stations play their work; makes me a bit nostalgic, but i still find myself rockin' out everytime i hear 'em. i whip out your cds on a regular basis and only wish you were here to make more. thank you both for sharing your passion with us and for inspiring females of all ages/races/sizes to be strong, confident, powerful women. miss you much!

i'm lovin' it...


i remembered that i ran through McDonald's the other day on my way to work and that i had a coupon for a free breakfast sandwich along with a purchase of a medium McCafe beverage. so guess who treated herself to an egg mcmuffin and a vanilla iced latte this morning......yours truly! the sandwich was delicious and the latte was ok. the girl pumping the vanilla syrup got a little carried away, making it EXTRA sweet, but it was still decent enough to drink. just had to share my morning treat with you.

have a McAwesome day!

a full year magazine subscription...for FREE!!!

my friend Melissa told me to go to her site (she finds all sorts of good deals and ways to stretch a dollar) and check out the deal for Real Simple magazine, $5 for a years subscription at amazon. i couldn't believe that they were offering a full year for the cost of ONE magazine, so i did it...i added the subscription to my order and proceeded to check out. i looked at the total and it read $0.00. WHAT?!? apparently i had a credit balance of $11 on my amazon account that i didn't know about and they applied it to my order. a magazine supscription for FREE? it's my lucky day!! i continued to scan the other magazine offers and found one of my other faves, Better Homes & Gardens, on sale for $14.97. I decided I'd put my remaining $6 balance to use and got a years subscription (12 months/issues) for $8.97! I can't wait for both of them to get here in a few weeks, woo hoo :oD

for some strange reason i bit off all of my nails last week, i'm talking down to the quick!! now i'm left with a mangled, throbbing mess at the ends of each finger...ouch!
i really want to take a photography class. i enjoy taking pictures but i want to learn how to compose a better image and learn what all the different knick-knacks on the camera are and what they do. maybe i could sell some of my prints one day... ;o)
I LOVE ART!
