my attempt to get it all out of my head

And, we’re back!

December15

I know I gotta stop doing this…this disappearing act. It’s just that I haven’t really had time to sit and write. But, things are changing. You’ll see…

Anywhoo, my friend Nuri sent me to this website where some folks are prompting responses for blog writers by asking them/us daily reflective questions about our life in 2010. They (#reverb10) started this on December 1. I’m starting today – Decemebr 15, 2010. Don’t judge me. Please and Thank You.

So, here’s the prompt….response to follow:

5 minutes. Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010.

1. Cullen crawling up his grandparents stairs before he started walking…He’s ahead of his time.

2. Cullen tasting real food for the first time…He makes the cutest faces.

3. Cullen’s first smile…He’s gorgeous.

4. Cullen giving me real hugs…He’s so sweet and has such an old soul.

5. Getting my real estate license…Long-term goal accomplished…Check!

6. Coachman Fish Fry 2010…Sorry you missed it…

7. My 27th Birthday Party in DC….although I really don’t remember, I heard it was a GOOD TIME. Ha!

8. The Quinns telling us that they are having a baby….I fainted for the first time in my life.

9. My godson, Rashad Escarne, is the cutest little bit of chocolate…..next to Cullen.

10. Working in DUMBO….Working with Monique…She’s such an inspiration. Love Her.

11. Feeling myself grow everyday….I mean, really feeling the growth. AMAZING.

Hmmmm….about me….interesting concept…..here’s my take:

1. The first and only thing that comes to mind right now is that I’m a mother-to-be. It is an amazing feeling. And, I feel blessed to even be in this position. It’s been taking up so much of my life these last couple of months, it’s seems to be the only way to describe myself. But, I’ll keep searching.

2. Aha! I’m a wife. Not a girlfriend, not a friend with benefits, but an everyday, thru good times and bad times, 2 years in – wife. And, I love it! This is next biggest aspect of my life.

Ok. This is not the coolest thing I’ve ever written.

Let’s see…….(starting over)

I love being connected to people by one or two degrees of similarities. Here are a few of my truths….How do we connect? Let’s discuss.

1.    I get my rocks off on gourmet hamburgers these days….it’s the cravings.
2.    I don’t eat candy or junk food. No reason. It’s just not my steelo.
3.    If I want something to happen, I’ll do everything in my power to make it happen. Promise.
4.    I love to read when I have make time to do so.
5.    I need tea to function. Peppermint, Pure Mint, Green, or Rooibos work best.
6.    I have many friends and/because (not sure which yet) I’m an only child.
7.    I’m a DevaStaTing Diva….but not like Beyonce or Whitney, more like Aretha.
8.    But, like all of those women….I, too, sing. Shh, don’t tell anyone. I’m kinda sensitive about it.
9.    I love Law & Order….all of them.
10.    I like all things burnt……the color burnt orange, the smell of burnt wood, and burnt food – hamburgers, sausages, grilled chicken, etc.
11.    I am a true Scorpio woman……the good and the bad.
12.    I have an alter-ego named Toni…..she’s the good, the bad, and the ugly.
13.    Natural light and warm water make me happy.
14.    My Iphone and Macbook have a love/hate relationship.
15.    My fav cereal is cinnamon toast crunch. It takes the place of junk food. See #2.
16.    There are three places that I call home: Atlanta, DC, & Brooklyn
17.    Getting my hair cut renews my spirit. Seriously, it gives me ridiculous energy.
18.    If you need a party starter, pick me! Satisfaction guaranteed.
19.    I am afraid of a few things and nobody.
20.    I can watch the movie City of Angels all day. All I’d need is refills on my tea and a blanket. And, probably some tissue nearby.
21.    I am my mother’s child. To know her is to know me.
22.    Believe the hype. The Howard University Experience is second to none. HU….you know?!
23.    I like this number…it used to be my nickname (see #7) but also because it equals 5, which is small and complicated…….like me.
