Thank you Jesus for another day!!! You always know how to calm my storms. Always. And I love you for it. Thank you!
I\’m trying to get into the habit of making out a * to do* things the night before I go to bed. I notice that when I do that, the next day I get things done. I\’ve been doing it off and on, but this time I\’m going to try to keep it up because I\’m really doing well, and its a good feeling to see those things that are complete scratched off.
First thing on my list today was to go and pick up my rental car. I was suppose to be at Hertz @ 10:00am. But at 8:57am they called me and told me that they didn\’t have any cars in, and that they were calling other Hertz\’s to see if they had any. For some reason I felt in my soul that I wasn\’t going to get this car. He told me that people were renting cars to go to Washington for the Inauguration Tuesday, and also the Auto show starts here in Downtown Detroit this weekend. I called them several times, but at the very end no luck for me. So I guess I\’m be driving my own car this weekend to the Pistons/New Orleans game and hotel.
After that phone call it really threw off my day. I had to regroup my trip. That\’s something I\’ve always told my daughter as she was growing up. Always have a Plan B. Never plan something without a back up, cause you never know what may come up.
I noticed on my list daily I keep writing * go to the movies*. LOL I still haven\’t been. After working, and being busy, I can\’t seem to find time. I still haven\’t seen * not easily broken*, and I\’ve got to see *NOTORIOUS*. I am slipping on my movies. My best friend wants to go Tuesday morning when her kids are in school. So that\’s cool.
I like to think a lot, and study people behavior. Its funny too because my daughter does the same thing. And I truly don\’t think we do it on purpose for any reason, I just like to know what makes people tick, and do the things they do. It comes so natural for us, that we sit and laugh at ourselves. I think this is the reason why I understand things about people. I understand that we are all different, and we all think differently. There are some people who don\’t get that. Even though I haven\’t been through all the lessons, and trials that people go through, I can surely understand that we must go through and come out with a lesson learned. I found out that what ever people don\’t understand they call *dumb* stupid, or ignorant. I use to be the main one. lol I know.
Its so cold here in Detroit, I almost let my mail pile up for a week. LOL Its a *crazy* -9. What kinda weather is that? This man came through my line late summer and said that we are in for a cold and snowy winter. Me, not wanting to hear that , said to myself * get outta here with that negative verdict*. lol Shoo, I wish I remembered that mans face so that I can shake his hand. Cause baaaaby, its freezing for no reason up in heere!!! Whew. When I\’m outside, I don\’t want to talk, or look at anything other than my mission. Its straight up * stupid* cold. I promise you, the weather is mad at somebody!! lol
I know I\’m rambling but, this guy I met at work one day called me yesterday at the job. I was really shocked. Oneday we were talking on the phone, and we started talking about people who we knew in the neighborhood we grew up in, and then he said I know you! I know you!!! I was like from where? He name the person and said that he use to go with her. It hit me. This person was staying with me at the time, and when she was going out with him. One day she introduced me to him. When he bought that to my remembrance I was immediately turned off . So I didn\’t call him again, at all. Its been over a year and he calls the job yesterday. He asked me what happened? I said nothing, we lost contact
. Knowing I was lying. I didn\’t want to tell him that since he use to kick it with my friend, that I wasn\’t interested. It was at least 15 years ago when they went together. But still, I\’m not feeling that at all. He gave me his number, but I won\’t be calling. I wish I had the nerve to tell him why? When I think about it, that\’s the easy part, the hard part is, he\’s going to say, that was years ago, and that this person no longer lives in Detroit. I don\’t care if she moved to Europe. I\’m not feeling that.
No matter how many guys I meet, right now I have really 3 things on my mind. Raisingurls to Women, to shed some pounds, and some projects that I am working on. That\’s it. If love happens it happens. It will find me as Mr. Tyler Perry says.
Speaking of Mr. Perry. Ahmmmmmm * wink*. I was reading the Essence article The Talented Mr. Perry, and how he talks about the young people he has working for him that WAS calling him TP. lol I said to myself, dang I can\’t see myself calling him Mr. Perry. Maybe because I DON\’T work for him, which sets me outside that whole class of people, but I respect him to the utmost. I\’ve been a fan of his work for over 6 years, and he is Tyler to me. Of course I can call him Mr. Perry, it would\’nt seem strange. When I talk to people I always use Ms. Maam. or Sir anyway. It just comes out naturally. If I\’m reading their license I will say. Thank you Ms. Janice, or whatever their first name is. I speak to alllllllllll my coworkers using Ms. in front of their names. When we were growing up we never had to say Maam. But my mom had to when she was growing up, so did my dad. For some reason my mom didn\’t like it, and felt *Yes* was good enough. But my daughter says Yes Maam to EVERYBODY. She use Sir, and Maam. She is the most respectful person Ive ever known.
When Neisha was growing up, I had the hardest time teaching that gurl to say excuse me when walking pass someone. I use to raise the roof, cause I really hate rudeness. I have to serious pray about people being rude. I lose it. She would walk pass and not open her mouth. After several times of me getting with her, she IS a pro at it. I can\’t see how someone can walk pass you and NOT Speak. That\’s just deep to me. It should drop out of your mouth A-U-T-O-M-A-T-I-C-L-Y!!! I have co workers who would see you every day, and not open their mouth. That\’s deep to me. When I walk into anybody house, I greet them with a hug and kiss. Ain\’t nobody getting up here without showing me some LOVE.
I even greet my coworkers with hugs, especially when we haven\’t seen each other in a while.
I\’m a very touchy feely kinda person. I just love people and their experiences. I can sit for hours listening and sharing testimonies. I learn so much from others. And no matter if I understand or not, I try not to Judge them. I told
my daughter today, that I wake up to LEARN SOMETHING NEW.
I can go on and on. So many thoughts rush me, I have a LOT to do tomorrow so I betta get off this computer and get some sleep.
Tuesday is almost here. THANK YOU JESUS!!
*Be Blessed*
