Books to read

As I sit here in the wonderful library, I've realized how much I miss reading. I came to the library in hopes of finding Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. But of course, I was a day late and a dollar short! The books are pretty much gone! I am #191 on the waiting list. So I decided to purchase a used copy on amazon.com - which I did! :) So with that being said... Here are a list of books I hope to complete in the next few months:

• Twilight
• New Moon
• Eclipse
• Breaking Dawn

In that particular order...

And I also plan to start the Harry Potter series!

• Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
• Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
• Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

So I can honestly say that I have YET to read a Harry Potter book. So I figured this would be a good time to start. Whatever I'm unable to get at the library, I will purchase on amazon.

I'll do my best to update my blog on my progress. I'm also long due for a blog about love. Stay tuned!

I'm in love with a vampire. Yes, I know, I know..

There is something about Edward Cullen that makes me smile every time I see him. He is absolutely gorgeous!

My Mind is Blank

I've been meaning to write a blog, however, I'm not sure what to speak about. There is so much to say...however, the words just don't seem to come out right! Don't you just hate that?!

So basically what I'm trying to say is...this post is going to be RANDOM as hell!

• Is it me or are the men in DC losing their "umph"-factor?! I'm sure the same can be said for the women, however... I honestly have yet to meet a guy with that "umph"-factor!
• So I've been on this eHarmony thing for over a month now...and honestly, it's super wack! #1..The guys that do sound somewhat interesting, they don't' have a picture! Big No No! If you're on a dating site, why not post a picture?
  
• Am I the only one that's really annoyed at Kim from The Real Housewives of Atlanta? Ugh! She's ridiculous! She can't sing...yet she apparently has an album coming out! She claims to be 29...YEA F*cking right?! She's with a married man....and shes somehow proud to be a mistress!
  
• I love Nene!
• I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired!
• 1 month...1 week...2 days until my b'day!
  

The end

Yes We Can..

Those three words changed history! Yes We Can! As I write this... I'm filled with joy and pride! I'm excited! President-Elect Barack Obama! I don't know about you, but that sounds like music to my ears!

When Barack Obama started his candidacy back in February of 2007, there were so many that wrote him off. "He's too young" - some say. "He's too inexperienced" - others said! & of course we heard... "America will never elect a black president!" Well, they did!

On November 4 - I cried! I couldn't stop crying! I laughed! I cried! I hugged strangers! I screamed! I was ecstatic!

I looked at the faces of the others cheering on the new president of the United States! I smiled even harder! There were blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians... cheering on the news that America made the RIGHT CHOICE!

I am proud to be an American!

Almost There...

One more day! I can't help but smile! Just the thought that Barack Obama may become the 44th president of the United States, brings that smile to my face! I've been following Barack since his speech at the DNC in Boston four years ago. I was captivated by his words. My favorite part of his speech was:

Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us -- the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of "anything goes." Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America.

Tomorrow, November 4th - we will all go to the polls to make one of the most important decisions in our lives. We will choose the next leader of the free world. Honestly, I don't care who you choose (although I would love for your choice to be for Sen. Barack Obama), but please exercise your right to vote! There are individuals that have died for the opportunity for us to be able to do what they could only dream of doing. Please don't take it for granted!

Halloween '08 in a Nutshell

My costume was a correction officer, not a police officer! There is a difference people! Luckily, I only saw one other lady w/my costume. I'm sure Jennifer wasn't too happy that her other Bees left the nest last night!

.......

I have no idea who this guy is but I decided to throw the handcuffs on him.

Jen & I
She was the Killer Bee (w/o a gun)

Here I am! :)

And again!

The witch, the correction officer & Marilyn Monroe!
