What Goes Around Comes Around!

Everyone has heard of the saying and probably has said it a few times themselves. I know, I have. I firmly believe in the saying, as well as, "what's done in the dark, comes to light"!

Basically, it's Karma. This post is more so for me to document that yesterday it was revealed (not hear se) to me that the dirt that was done to me by that person has come back around on them. Am I happy? Not particularly. I am more so relieved that, that person has hopefully learned a lesson by being in my shoes so to speak.

Don't do to others, which you don't want done to you!

White House Easter Egg Roll Tickets

This is the first time that I've been excited to participate in the White House Easter Egg Roll event. When I told my son that I was going to try to get some tickets for the event, he showed no excitement whatsoever. He said, "I want to go to the White House, but not for an Easter Egg Roll!". I told him in order for me to go I had to bring a kid, so if I get tickets he would be going.

Well, all that(convo) was for nothing because I didn't get any tickets. I was disappointed, but I'm not enrage as others. I mean have you read some of the post regarding the distribution of the tickets. It's crazy! Yeah, I understand people have been glued to their computers attempting to get tickets and came out empty handed as myself. It just ain't that serious to me though. I had co-workers logging on attempting to get in so I could get tickets, but to no avail. No tantrums here. Some folks wrote that they would have preferred to camp out for the tickets as they had done previously. Hmmm...not I! I've never camped out for some tickets to anything and definitely wasn't going to start now. Especially, when I read a lady traveled from PA...camped out and as she was getting closer to the distribution box office they announced all tickets had been distributed. Now that is someone who should have had a tantrum or been enraged. Besides, it rained all day yesterday...Moi definitely would not have been camped out in the rain for tickets (this is not a life or death matter people)

I was happy to hear that they were distributing the tickets online. I hope they do the same next year and thereafter as well. The problem that occurred with the online system was the amount of people, which I guess the WH Easter Egg Roll committee under estimated and the system crashed! A lesson learned and I'm sure they will get it right next time.

Congratulations to those who did get through!

Why I haven't been blogging?

It's been awhile since I last blogged. I've checked my blog to see if any of "the blogs I like" have updated their blogs. I'd check the title of their update and if it sounded interesting, I would go to their blog. If not, I would check their blog out later. What's holding me back from updating my blog and reading the blog of others...

FACEBOOK!!!

Yall, I'm hooked. I can't believe "it" got me. I resisted for so long in creating a page because I thought it was for teeny boppers. I thought it was like MySpace and I didn't want any parts of that. Well, after several of my friends started sending me invitations and giving me verbal updates on other friends; friends I haven't seen for quite a long time I bit the bullet and signed up. OMG! I have people from ELEMENTARY school sending me friend requests and emails entitled "Do you remember me?" I've come in contact with old co-workers, old male friends and old girl friends. I love the fact that you have an opportunity to catch up with them through their picture story...pictures of their family; the parents, KIDS, and the pets. It's the greatest...hahaha...LOL. I know it's probably old news to most of you.

I heart Facebook and the mobile application too!

What are some of your surprised addictions?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Love The Ones You're With...

To my family and friends.

I hope you all are enjoying your day.  I am enjoying mine.  My parents gave me a card and money (that was nice).  My son brought(through his grandma) some flowers...Tulips and a card.  He loves giving me flowers and I love receiving them (he will make some woman happy when he comes of age).  I love Tulips.  I love flowers.  Most folks are surprise that I do not like chocolate.  In the past, I would receive a box of chocolates and I would just accept it with a smile.  Later, I would give it to my grandmother who loved chocolate.

Last year this time, I wrote a post informing everyone that I didn't have a "valentine" and hopefully next year I would.  Well, that was not exactly true, my son is my Valentine and will always be.  I still do not have a significant other and I'm fine with that.  I decided in December that in the new year I would be open to dating again.  I've met people, but no one I'm interested in getting to know better.  So, again we shall see ...

What did your Valentine give or do for you?

 

A year ago today

My grandma passed. It's still hard to believe that she's no longer here with me on earth.

I miss her so much.  Truly, apart of me died when she did. 

I will forever treasure the memories I have.

Continue to rest in peace 'Momma'.

Love Ya, Always!

Randomness- Ugh!

• It's snowing! 

• my car decided it didn't want to STOP at the red light(@ the bottom of the hill) while driving my son to school.  I honked the horn and put hazard lights on so on coming traffic would stop.  Thank You Jesus no one was hurt!!  The most scariest thing.

• I checked my sons school website for status of school opening, closing or late arrival several times...and prior to walking out the door.  Nothing!  TV, Radio doesn't state anything regarding his school.  After rushing to get my son out of the house, almost becoming "road pizza" (my sons statement) while taking him to school... to find out the admins decided to close the school, but didn't think(and this is a private school) to update the website or contact local television station and or local radio stations to inform parents.

• had to force the dog to go out in the snow...what's that about...UGH!

After all this, I decided I was going to work from home today.  My sons father came to get my son (OMG...Thank You!), so now I'm de-stressing and starting my work day;-)
