OK, so the big bruha-ha around some of the men in my life has been if the whole De La Hoya / Mayweather fight is going to take place or not. It has been mentioned or rather rumoured that it is actually going to happen again, this time around September! SCORE! one for the cable company last fight got them around 165 MILLION dollars! Can you imagine that? All for a boxing match? AMAZING. Also must keep in the mind the totals for those actually in attendance which was around $18,000. Dang, I should become a boxer lol! Nonetheless, round two, should it come in September is going to have many in line for those Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. tickets The last meeting between the two didn’t fully live up to everyone’s standards but no doubt the anticipation for another battle has definitely been something a lot of people want to see. Mayweather, might be more well known for his recent stint on Dancing With The Stars but there is no question he’s ready to step back in the ring. De La Hoya, who has hinted at retiring might see adding this fight as an exclamation mark on a wonderful career. All-in-all it’s shaping up to yet another classic battle! A announcement on all the official details can come anytime now. No doubt all you boxing fans out there are looking foreword to that fateful day LOL I know all the guys around me are stoked for round 2. There goes the remote come September..

I don’t know about you, but within my circle of family and friends I seem to be the one most go to for information on fixing or dealing with computer, internet, cable or any other electronic type issues. I’m often happy to oblige but truthfully I don’t know everything nor do I always want to be the one to fix it all lol! There are many options out there to help solve one’s little hookup or computer virus problems. Fasktek is one of them. They have many great services to help you get anything set up and ready to go. They even install home theater for you. I know for some that is almost heaven sent lol! Trust me, I know basically ever family has some kind of electronic wiz but keep in mind, we don’t always want to be the ones doing it all. Hey, we are busy people too, even if it is learning about how to hook up that new dvd drive lol.

For all who asked, thank you, my grandmother is OK. Shes in a lot of pain right now but she should be OK. We will see what, if anything more is needed, as time passes. I do appreciate the concern though, again thank you.

I’m OK as well, thanks for asking. Just pretty tired. I didn’t want to get up for work yesterday. I did eventually make it in, albeit a little later then my normal routine. I haven’t been feeling 100%. I don’t know if that is because of lack of sleep or if because I’m getting sick. Everyone around here has got a cold or is sick in some way so I’m a little weary. I have such a weak immune system now that I’m older lol, so I’m horrible when it comes to fending off colds and the flu. Bleh!

I did my taxes already. Can you believe it? I’m so happy. It’s my first time doing them as well. I’m excited ahaha. That is a weird statement I know, but I think it’s pretty cool. I guess I mostly feel that way because it’s means a certain level in independence to me, but also, I don’t have to pay anything! YAY. I’m getting a refund!! It’s not much, in fact, it’s less then then I make on a check from work but hey, I’ll take it. Anything that keeps me from having to shell out money I don’t have is awesome to me. I’m just happy to not have to worry about the stress of April 15 lol.

Since it’s almost 5am, and I need to get up in a couple of hours, I need to make a mental note to blog about a couple of things, so..

Note to self:
1. Blog about.. co-worker.. uh oh.
2. Blog about.. No Response!
3. Blog about.. Hypochondriac, me?

LOL it’s sad. I’m getting old. I can’t remember anything anymore so I must make blog notes about it. Wow. Are you sure you want to continue to read what I write? ha!

OK, so when it comes to my current cell phone.. I haven’t had the best things in the world happen to it. For instance, I think Ive dropped it at least 100 times, I must not forget the 2 times I dropped it yesterday. I’ve kicked it, stepped on it, threw it and even dropped it a variaty liquids all of which have left my little baby pretty much bruised and battered. If I had been smart I would have tried to find a few Cell Phone Accessories here and there to maybe protect my investment, but as with most things, in life the value sometimes becomes lost in the process. So along with dropping it twice yesterday, I have to admit I made another boo-boo when it comes to the poor thing. I dropped it in soda. LOL It was a freak accident! I had went to put something on the passenger seat of the car only to hear that fear inspiring sound of something much more heavy hitting a cup of liquid! after a shreak of anger at my stupidity I went into save mode. Unfortunately, the poor thing albeit working would allow me to do much of anything with it. So, I had to resolve that i would be phone-less for the day! I survived and I’m happy to report my phone has at this point as well. I wasn’t too scared, as of late I learned the fine points of drying out a phone (I dropped it in lemon aid a few days back lol) nonetheless thank you samsung for making a durable phone. If it can withstand my brutality, I know it’s basically indestructible ha.

OK, so here are just a couple of updates!

THANK YOU for the submissions to the awards site, it means more then I can say lol! MORE - I NEED MORE. So keep them coming then I can get that up and running.

I finally updated Site of the month! Congrats to the winner.

I also updated “cutest contest” I’m so sorry that was delayed. I had a submission but totally missed it. I added it now. Thank you very much for that.

I will have some paid posts back because, I want a new phone badly and well I need to pay for it lol! Sorry ya’ll hope you don’t mind. It has an added benefit though, it keeps me in blogging mode which is always a good thing; I like that! It allows for me to hone my non-existent writing skills lol to be really honest I think I was doing far better with everything on here when I actually had to sit down and write in different ways lol wow it made my mind work.. now that might not be a good thing. I look at this way, maybe I’ll be more active like I was before haha.

I need a new layout but truthfully, I’m not in the creative mood. I will work on one soon. I just don’t know what to do it on or with or what type of inspiration to go for. Eh. We’ll see.

I believe that’s it. I’m tired. My grandma had surgery tonight and I’m just pooped. I need to go to sleep. I’m so very tired…

One of the coolest pair I have is yellow. They go up to my knee. They have printed on them on of the coolest thing on the planet! What am I talking about? I’m going on about one of my favourite pair of socks. What is printed on them you ask? SPONGEBOB! OK, I know.. I know. I love him though, he just rocks.. well my socks ha! In all seriousness though, that is something that I tend to play up quite a bit is my socks, I think if there is anything I truly have an odd personality with it’s them. I love all colours, all styles and the ones with the most funky designs I am almost always attracted to. I have toe socks, fuzzy socks, cartoon socks, socks with quotes, socks with eyes.. EVERYTHING. I also have major love for leggings because I can wear them with my skirts and dresses for my meetings. They give me a warmth but also sometimes a splash of colour. I’m also loving stockings. I got my first pair of fishnets not too long ago. I almost felt naked yet a little rebellious. I think that’s the fun part about it all, they add a certain little funk yet it’s not SO dramatic that it becomes overwhelming you know? I think it’s all in fun and I as I shop I can’t but add more to my collection. I think I might be a sock hoarder lol! HELP

NONAGENARIAN

nonagenarian \non-uh-juh-NAIR-ee-uhn; no-nuh-\, noun:
A ninety year old person; someone whose age is in the nineties.

I hope that my grandmother can live to enjoy being a nonagenarian.

In my ever evolving style, I must admit that although I like a little flair, I tend to stick to the most basic and useful items. I must be honest 90% of the time I’m in a dress or skirt, because I’m always involved with something for my faith, which requires I be a little more dressy but when I am not in something more formal, I like to be at my most comfortable. A friend came back from LA not to long ago and brought me back some clothes. I wasn’t expecting anything let alone what I got. She came back with different “Baby Phat” products. Now, I had heard of Baby Phat but never really thought of buying anything and so I didn’t know what to expect but I have to admit they are some of the most comfortable yet “sassy” clothes Ive had in a while. I love being in a simple t-shirt and jeans or even some “track” pants and a hoodie and with Baby Phat I’ve been able to do that without forgoing some sense of fashion. I have a couple t-shirts and some other stuff in my collection and honestly they are some of my go-to pieces when I need something funky yet comfy for a night out with friends. My next purchase will have to be baby phat jackets or some new jeans! I cannot wait. It should be awesome. Ya’ll got to check them out.
