Although I enjoy the relaxed hair look, I definitely prefer having braids in. Not for the look, but for the convenience. Micro braids allow me some extra time to sleep!
Decisions! Decisions!

Let's make love...

Tonight we’re gonna touch a little different.

I’m gonna make your body feel a little different
I Hope your ready, ready, ready
Ready for love

- Keri Hilson "Make Love"

One day...
So I'm more optimistic than I've ever been in my life! I know that one day, everything will fall right into place. I just need to stop rushing things! I need to take it one step at a time! One day, I'll write to you and say I'm exactly where I want to be in life!At the tender age of 24, I know I have my whole life in front of me!
Great things will happen! I believe that one day I am going to be the happiest woman in the world!
Just wait and see!
Keri Hilson - Return the Favor
So I've been sleeping on Keri Hilson! I have her album and I must say... KUDOS! You see, I'm such a Beyonce fan, it's hard for me to open up to new artists. When Keri Hilson recently came out with that diss record, that some speculated was for Beyonce, she lost the little respect that I had for her! Well now she's off my sh*t list! :) I really enjoy listening to her! My favorite song is Make Love! Well here's another one of my favs:

Keri Hilson ft. Kanye West & Ne-Yo "Knock You Down"
Because this is my favorite song right now... I wanted to post the video! Enjoy!
Allergy Season
So it begins with the itchy nose. It then tapers off to the itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing. Ugh! Allergy season is here! I have it very bad! There are times when I find it very hard to breathe.The weather was too beautiful to say in. I knew that my allergies would act up, but I didn't think it was going to be this bad...so soon.
I need some medicine!!! I have some Zyrtec, however, it makes me drowsy :(.
It's days like this that makes me just chop my nose off!

Thought of the Day
Be the fulfillment
Instead of looking for the answer outside yourself, be the answer you seek. Instead of striving to attain fulfillment, be the fulfillment of your most impassioned stirrings.
The problems you face are yours precisely because you have what it takes to successfully address them. The situations you encounter provide fertile ground upon which you more fully become the best you can be.
The joys and the pains, the achievements and the disappointments, the frustrations and the victories all serve to move you forward. You are destined and well equipped to successfully navigate through each fascinating and valuable turn of events in your world.
You've already come a long way, and that depth of experience continues to serve you well. As the challenges come, as the opportunities appear, your ability to make a difference grows ever stronger and more valuable.
Greet each day with the satisfaction and confidence of knowing that you can adjust and adapt and build and create and thrive. Use the unique energy that is your very own in the service of meaningful and positive purpose.
Work to be the living fulfillment of the best you can imagine. Feel the dream and make it real.

Day 26 - Forever in a Day
So I've had this album on repeat for the past few days! Kudos to the boys at Day26 for coming out with yet another GREAT album! Unfortunately (or fortunately), I have yet to get caught in the drama that they call a reality show. I've heard bits and pieces from family and friends. To be quite honest, I honestly don't care what they do behind the scenes, once I'm able to have something to listen to during my morning commute!
So let's play a game! If you had to, which guy on Day26 would you date?
My response - Absolutely None! There is something wrong with each one of them (IMO). I rather just not! Honestly, I don't even know whose singing half the time. I really need to step up my game.
Thought of the Day
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
--Eleanor Roosevelt
In this moment, we are the best we can be. Today, we can work at loving the best in ourselves and not fearing the worst. We are truly wonderful and growing people with gifts and qualities that make us who we are. No one can make us feel inferior without our consent.
Now, we are in charge of our lives and growth. We can choose to let go of old negative thinking. We can choose to think positive, loving thoughts about ourselves. We never need to be victims again to other people. We have options today. We can choose to grow in a positive way. We can choose to have loving, affirming people in our lives.
Today I will stick with the winners.

We do not have to get caught in the middle of other people's issues.
-- Melody Beattie
Learning to respect boundaries, our own and other people's, eliminates much of the stress that hinders relationships. Accepting the behavior and the opinions of our friends as legitimate for them allows our relationships to teach us tolerance and patience and love. Our journey on this planet is not about "fixing" or controlling others, but about loving them wholly, just as we want to be loved.
We need other people. Our humanity is enhanced by our mutual experiences. But we also need to let others learn from their mistakes and their own experiences, rather than to help them avoid what they need for their growth. We hate to see our friends in pain. Our compassion is triggered when trouble trips them. But their journey must be inviolate. We'll only prolong their struggle by intervening where we aren't needed.
It's hard to back away when a friend is in trouble. But telling a friend you love and support him or her may give them the strength they need.

Thought of the Day
No human creature can give orders to love.
--George Sand
If we're trying to get others to love us, all we're really doing is trying to be in control. Trying to control others can be a powerful drug. Remember, we can't control others. We can't make others love us. That Power has control, not us.
So, what do we need to do? Turn things over to Him and just be ourselves. Sure, it can scare us to just be ourselves. The truth is, not everyone will love us. But if we're honest about who we are, others will respect us. We'll like ourselves better. And we'll have a better chance of loving others and being loved.
Prayer for the Day
I pray to have my need for control lifted from me. I pray to be rid of self-will.
Action for the Day
Today, I'll list five ways my self-will - my need to control - has gotten me in trouble.

Dear Metro
Dear Metro,
First let me begin by saying that I have been a faithful customer for 3 years. I began my metro experience shortly after I moved to the DC area. I must say, when I first moved here, I was delighted at the cleanliness of the metro stations. I also enjoyed the fact that you had the estimated arrival time for the trains! Totally cool feature!
I've had some good experiences and some not-so-good experiences with your service. First things first... I ride the bus every morning and afternoon. One thing I can not tolerate is metro bus drivers that do not know where they're going. They rely on the riders to tell them where to go! If the normal bus driver is unavailable, I say you find people that are familiar with the particular route before you send them off with nothing but a few mapquest directions! I don't really mind this happening in the evening, but not in the morning! Many of us would actually prefer being on time to work.
There may be some things that I just don't understand about the operation behind metro. However, as a customer, it comes off as poor management.
You may want to fix that!
Sincerely,
Me'Shell

Press Play
So I may be in the minority here (or not).. But if you saw the play icon, would you expect it to play or pause?I figured if I press the play icon, it would do just that...PLAY!
Pandora, you really need to fix that! It's very confusing! Here I am thinking something is wrong with my speakers, when in fact...Pandora just does not know the difference between Play & Pause!
Ok, enough about my press play/pause rant! :)
I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! I am getting ready to watch Milk. The movie received a number of awards, so I hope it's good. Then again, Sean Penn is in it... NUFF SAID!
I'll be back soon (I think)
