Day 2 of 4 days off started off just right. Got up this morning made some Collard greens, pork chops, and corn bread. My favorite dinner ever. I probably can down a whole pot of greens for real. lol Sitting here in my night-gown looking so wild, but its all good because I am home and Im feeling good about that. 
 I believes it strengthens the relationship and it’s sexy!! I wish that I could have enjoyed this kinda bond. I think about it all the time. 
I can’t wait to see Tyler Perry take a pose like this with his wife. I have several photos in a frame expressing black love. My favorite is Diddy and Kim Porter photo shoot when she was pregnant with the twins. If I could do it all again, I would take photos of me and my husband all day. LOLNeck, 2012
Lord, Thank you for a wonderful day!!!Â
Hey People! I was working out at the gym and my neck and shoulders have been off the hook for about 3 weeks. What happened was, I woke up with a sore neck that was really bad that I couldnt hardly move it. So, Im like dang whats up with this? I went back after it was feeling much better, not gone, but better. I wanted to get on this abdominal machine, even tho the trainer told us clearly to stay away from this machine. First of all we are just starting out, and that machine wasnt the right one for us yet. So me…… being me………. wanted to get on it any way. I did. The next morning was neck was off the chain hurting!!! I stayed away from the gym again. Then I felt better went back and got on the same machine doing 50 lbs, 50 times!!! Omgggggggg. I was getting my nails done, and I remember the pain came to me. Before I knew it  I said dang….. what am I doing to make my neck sore. I heard God loud and clear……….. he said that machine the trainer told you to stay away from. I just couldnt believe it was that loud and clear. I love God. When I got home my neck, shoulders, and back was hurting so bad. Its been almost 2 weeks and my neck is just now feeling better. I really really really put a hurting on it, lifting all those weights while sitting down really messed me up. Not listening and doing what I want to do. UGHHHHHHHH.
Yesterday, I bought tickets to see Shaq play the Pistons before he retire. Yeaaaaaaaa, I been wanting to buy them for the longest. Plus I bought tickets to see Dwight Howard and the Orlando Majic!! I paid some $$$$$$$$$$$$ for these babies Whoooooooooo whoooooooooooooooo!! 2nd row from the FLOOR!!!

From the mind of Lacrease…… for those who can handle it (1)
Today is one of those days where Im quiet trying to figure out where my head is about life. Got up this morning was suppose to go and work out, but me and Neisha went to bed around 5ish lol we were so sleepy. We had a plan. We said that we were going to set our phones @8am, go to the gym get on the treadmill for 30 minutes, then go to the grocery store. Come home and go back to sleep for a few hours. So we slept on the couch to keep from sleeping hard. Dont you know when that phone went off, we looked at each other and went back to sleep. LOL We were sleeeepy!!! I got up about 12, and I havent been back to sleep yet, but its 1:24 am and Im there!!!
I have a relationship with God that when he speaks to me I know his voice. Lately I have been really peed off by the media and how they really dog out Tyler Perry, Tameka Raymond, and now my Tweeter gurl Shaunie O Neal. It bothers me so bad, people dont know what others are going through. And I know this comes with the success. But why do people have to be so mean, and so into their business. If people take shots at celebrities who they don’t see, just imagine what they do to those who they do see. It’s really a shame and ignorant to Judge people so harshly as they do. Some of the articles Ive read, I know it has to be sad for God. And you know….. Im guilty myself.
 Yesterday I was so angry at this guy on Twitter that I posted something to him very mean, then I blocked him. Someone else read it and reposted something to me. At that point I knew that I was out-of-order. I made a promise to myself that I wouldnt post anything negative to anyone, just because I don’t like what they’ve said about someone. Im tired I can’t and dont have the time to post to everyone who doesnt see what I see in a Tyler Perry movie, or who constantly diss Tameka Raymond for divorce. I can’t do that any longer. I have so many things in my life that I can spend that time on, and if the post bothers me Im just going to click out of the window no matter how bad I want to post. Im finding myself acting JUST LIKE THEM…….. and thats a NO NO!!! OH NO. I will not behave that way again. Im not proud of some of the things that Ive posted, I can’t take it back, but I can show myself some respect, and self-control by moving on. So thats a what Im going to work on with God’s help.Â
Last night I had a dream that the guy who molested me was out of jail, sitting next to me on a bench. I noticed that it was him and I just looked at him. He’s a very dark-skinned man, but he seem lighter this time. He’s always had white teeth, in the dream he kept smiling at me saying… its been a while do you remember back in the day. And I was soooo nervous, I tried to ignore him. But he kept looking at me asking me questions about in the past and smiling just like a sexual predator UGHHHHHHH. I don’t ever had to worry about him because he’s locked up for GOOD!
Then FLASH FORWARD TO REAL LIFE, a long time friend told me that she married the guy who raped me when I was 17. Yes she MARRIED HIM!!!! MARRIED HIM! MARRIED! She doesnt know what he did to me. All I need is for him and her to come thru my line one day and I will probaly walk off my shift. He would remeber, but she wont have a clue. Ughhhh the site of him will make me turn purple probaly. He’s locked up and will be home soon. VERY SOON SMH
 Can you handle this….. I can’t 😦

My other dream
Lately I have been having something on my mind and I just can’t shake it. I don’t know why God keeps laying this on my heart, but after a long nap, which will have me up all night, I feel that I have to share this with you all. For those who were on my yahoo 360 page, I posted this sometime ago, for some reason I can’t find it. So I decided to post it here for you all. I had this dream one night, that me and my daughter was about to cross this big big big big street. It looked like one of the streets here in Detroit, but it wasn’t. As we were walking down the block, to get to this big street. All of sudden it started getting dark, I mean real dark. The skies were turning black, and it started raining and storming. As I looked up at the sky, I knew something was happening that wasn’t normal. I thought about what God said would happen in the last days, and that the sky was going to crack. Me and Neisha knew right away what time it was. People were driving their cars in this big street wondering what was going on, asking each other questions. Some people knew what time it was, but a lot of them didn’t. I heard God say grab Neisha’s hand and run across the street, the world is at the end. I had taught her about God while she was growing up, and so she had already known about this time coming. I grabbed her hand and we ran across the street to this underground tent or something. When we got there, people were there asking each other “whats going on” what happened. So, for some reason God told me to be in charge. . He said tell them to “Wake up and they will be saved. So I told them what he said. At that point in the dream. I KNEW that I WAS DREAMING. He said to tell them to wake up, and he said those that would wake up, a bubble will pop over their heads, and that mean they were saved. I was telling them what God had said, and I was going to make sure that people were popping out Where ever they were standing around listening to me, that’s where the bubble burst over their heads. So after people were popping out, I told Neisha, I said pop out before me, so that I can know you are saved. So she popped out. After time was passing, I went on and popped out. Which woke me up out of my dream. So, I woke up in the middle of the night. EYES WAS THIS BIG QQ!!! I kid you not!!. I walked around my house, thinking what in the world just jump off in my dream Lord!!! It was so real, that I couldn’t stop pacing the floor. My living room was pitched dark, and here I am thinking about this dream. All of a sudden I said God, I got to go back in there and see what happened to those other people. I knew Neisha had popped out, but I needed to see what happened to those other people. So, I said God please, please let me go back into this dream to check on these other people. So I laid back down on the couch and guess what? God let me go back into the dream .
 When I got there, I saw people looking funny, standing in their same spots. So, I said what happened? I told yall to pop out, because that’s the only way yall are going to be saved. They looked at me with this look of horror and said……………….. WE CANT WAKE UP.
I felt bad, but I had to go. My baby and loved ones was waiting on me. I said to them. WELL I’M OUT! And that’s when I woke up. Ever since I was younger, I always had this thing of being left behind. I didn’t understand it then, but I do know as to how it defines who I am today. If my mom said: “I need for you to be dressed and at the door by 5pm”. All of a sudden this feeling of “Can’t get left” would come over me. I have had this feeling all my life. To get left and to even think about getting left behind, gives me the creeps. If I have to stay up all day and all night not to miss a deadline. I will. And to this day, when I think/want to do something not pleasing to God. I go back to that and ask myself is doing the wrong you want to do is worth “Getting left”. And the answer is NO!!! LOL In my mind cant nothing top “getting left”.
Looking out for each other
Hey,
Last night we all got together for my Sister, Dad and brother Birthday Dinner at my sister’s house. WE had a good time. We had a ball!!! Thats the kinda fun Im use to having. What is funny to me is…… when we were growing up and our parents had company, we had to go upstairs and play, we couldnt sit among the grown-ups. AFter a while it became something that we knew to do when our parents had company. So when Neisha was growing up and my nieces, we would send them to the room too. LOL Now that they are all grown, still when we * my sisters and brother* get together, they like to branch off into their own little worlds and into other parts of the house, last night we were like YALL COME OUT THE ROOM AND PLAY THIS GAME WITH US!! ROFLLLLLL. They were like nawwww, yall go ahead we don’t wanna play. We were like YESSSSSSSSS come out and learn this new game. It was 4 of them ages 15-23. We taught them how to play this game called Wink and they had a BLAST. Thats all the talked about on Facebook this morning. LOL They had so much fun we gotta kick out of listening to them loving the game. Now they are trying to find out when the next time we are going to all hook up and play again. LOL Im happy they had a great time.
Im starting to realize that I get upset when people don’t get things. I dont know why I become so upset with people for a moment. I come right out of the anger in minutes, it’s just that I allow myself to go there. So while realizing this, I went into my mind and dug deep for the answer to WHY I am this way.
Growing up ( yes things does go back to your past) I/we were taught to always look out for each other. I was always looking out for my brother and my sisters. I am the oldest and this was mandatory that this was done. As a young gurl who seem to have ALWAYS had to do this, as we got older it was something that was instilled in us. People ask us all the time, how did yall get so close? Do yall ever argue? Yes we do. But at the end of the day, before everyone goes home, before the lights are off in the house, we always, always, always make up. Thats how we’ve always been. Now that Im grown……… I tend to want to look out for everybody. It doesnt matter in which way.The bible says we are sisters and brothers in Christ, and when I was taught to look out for people it’s still in me. I hate for people to diss someone, I hate when people make comments on others and they dont know the whole story. Im always attracted to the under dogs, because it so easy for me to hang with the * Big Dogs* because they want me with them. But the under dogs gets it bad. Im not geeked on people, money, and especially not Power with God in control. Im not controlled by any of that at all. All I want is whats fair, people to have a fair shot at everything, without the *Big Dogs* coming in and taking over. I have a voice and I will speak up. I don’t like for people to take advantage of others, lie on them, or mislead them. Guess what Im really saying is that…….. Weve got to do better in looking out for each other. WE have got to learn and realize that we are not the only people in the world. Once we grasp that, we can get along so much better and this will lead us to LOVE each other.
Be Blessed!

the appointed time shall come soon
Have you ever wanted something to happen so bad for you, and when it did happen, you didnt believe it? It’s like while it’s happening for you, you cant believe it so you sabotage it, and you say it’s not happening, you say to yourself this cant be real. But deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep down inside…. you believe it. God tells you yes…. its true Lacrease, but still something inside of you just CANT believe it? I don’t know if I wanted it to happen so bad that when it did I was blind to it? No matter what the person said that rang so true it , I still couldnt allow myself to fully believe it.
Now……..
Now………..
Now…….. that this has come and gone from me. I know it was true 100%. I know that it was real 100%. Nothing can stop me from believing that it was true and real. Im not worried about this time coming again…….cause it will. I just wish that I *treated this differently*. I wish that I would have been a different person than I was then. Its been 3 years and how I wish, I wish, I wish. But God told me that when it comes back to me * it will* I will be a better person. So Im excited about whats to come, and the long friendship it will bring.
I won’t be sad for long, the appointed time shall come soon. Its soooooo cool knowing that the time will present itself to me again. Boy are we going to laugh!!!! LOL Im laughing now.
Be Blessed!
Someday…
Someday I hope to be a wife
Someday I hope to Love again. Someday I hope to treat my husband with the upmost respect. Someday I hope to be a stepmother. Someday I hope to spoil my husband. Someday I hope to cherish my husband. Someday I hope to Thank God for my Husband.
Someday…………
CAN’T please everyone!
Growing up, I always wanted to please my daddy. Seem like nothing I did would please him. I never realized that all that trying wasnt going to get me any where. Here I am 42 years old and had I knew what I know now, I would have stopped trying.
Today, I was ringing up customers when I realized that the lady who was just in my line forgot her bags. I grabbed the bag before I knew it and was almost off to find her outside when I took a look at my line and realized that it was *just as* long as a football field. No doubt about it I WAS going to find this woman who left her bag. Looking at the looks on those people faces made me realize that no matter if I stayed at the register to ring them up or chase down the woman who left her bag, somebody is going to be happy, and somebody is going to be annoyed. I realized at that point today that if you do good, there are people who are going to feel that you are wrong, if you do bad, there are some people who are going to feel that its justified. You have to be your own person, NOT connected to anyone. You have to be true to yourself and do whats right according to whats in your heart. I chose to leave all those people, in order to find this woman who was going to leave her bad and need it later. When I came back of course there where some faces of stone, but guess what? I was true to what was right. I didnt let none of those people bother me, and they didnt. Deep down inside those people knew that I did the right thing even though they were ready to get rung up and go home. Had that been them who left their bags they would have wanted me to hunt then down and turn over their bags. Why did they act funny in the first place? I cant worry myself with that, as a Leader, I have to continue to set the pace and the atmosphere for others to do whats right.
Today is black woman with her husband came through my line and she asked me whats the policy on breastfeeding? I said why….. whats wrong? She said I was breastfeeding and the lady told me that I couldnt do it. So, Im like what? Who told you that? She said the lady that works here. Something about * the lady that works here wasnt right to me. So you know the VIRGO in me, started asking her a few more questions. The first thing I asked her was, where was she when she was breast feeding her child? She said in the dressing room. 
I looked at her with this blank look on my face, and said, you have to do the bathroom to breastfeed, there’s even a bench you can sit on just outside the rest room. She looked at me as if she didnt know this. Now Im saying to myself, common sense should tell you that both men and women are in those dressing rooms, you cant just go into the place whip out a breast and then breast feed in the FITTING ROOM come on now!!! Go someplace where you can relax get comfortable. She really didnt get that until I broke it down to her.People we can got to use more common sense.
Aiight Im sleepy people, got more stories to tell tomorrow. Good MORNING!
Michael Jackson’s movie….. This is it
I went to see Michael Jackson’s movie last night, not once but twice. Yea, it was that good. After work yesterday I took my mother to the 5:30 showing, it was jammed packed too. When it was over, we decided to go and visit my sister and her husbands to say hey,they were home passing out candy to the trick or treaters. That was fun to watch. I was telling them how good the movie was, and they were like let’s go see it, let’s go see it!!! I didnt mind going back because it was that good to me. After they passed out candy, my mom went home got ready for work, and I jumped in the truck with my Sister and her Husband and went  to the 10:30 pm showing.
What I loved most about Michael Jackson is his humbleness. He knows his music, he knows his work. He knows what he wants, and he had a team that was willing and able to give it to him. He wasnt bossy or pushy, he knew who he was, and how he wanted things done. I loved that about him. He could hear something out of place, out of tune, not right, and he was able to communicate that to his people, and they made things happen. I admire his ability to Lead. His people no matter how long they knew him, they were still amazed at this work, and willingness to get better. I learned that its very important to take photos, and write letters, video tape yourself and family, so that when you pass on they will have something to cherish you by. Im glad Michael video taped this movie for himself, if people would really open their minds up to think about life, LOVE, and people, they could really learn a lot from this movie. I get sad when people say…. it wasnt that good, or I expected this or that. And Im like WOW, didnt you get all the messages from this movie? Didnt you see the Love he had for people? Didnt you see how well his communication skills were? Didnt you see how he could talk to someone so gentle, but firm and was able to connect to his people? Didnt you hear the lyrics to the songs like, This is it, and Heal the World? Did you get that fact that he wanted the music to go excatly the way he wrote it, and how the fans LOVED IT? Didnt you get the fact that in order to be great at what you do, you have to be hands on, willing to take a moment to see how everyone is doing with HIS VISION? After he was pleased with something he needed from someone, he ended with God bless You.
 Michael Jackson wanted peace. You can tell he wasnt for drama, or anything messy, he was a person who wanted to promote peace, and to the people that had access to his life THAT MEANT HIM BAD AND LIES, has explaining to do. Not to me, but to God.
 I love Michael Jackson and I always have. When he was going through court dates, and being sued, I wanted to talk to him so bad. I had a Diary when I was about 9 years old.  I wrote in many of the pages…. I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON all through it. LOL We are both Virgos and I have always have a connection to his life growing up as a child, and as an adult. It’s all good, because one day Ill be able to talk with him one on one. I believe that.
God Bless You All
