Never use SUGAR on the TRUTH….Cree’s Blog Entry

Whew, where do I start. Lord, I must Thank you for keeping me sane, and for standing near me when I was about to lose it.

 

I’m a busy woman. I have a lot going on in my life, and it involves communicating with a LOT OF PEOPLE. Over the years I had to cut my circle down to only those friends who are on my level mentality and spiritually. I’m a person who doesn’t use SUGAR on the TRUTH. And finally in my life, FINALLY….FINALLY…I have learned that I can be me, even if I have to be brutality honest with someone, and not lose sleep over it. I’m a person who keeps an open mind to everything. I’m always willing to listen and learn. That’s my first attraction I have to others. I’m a listener.

 

Today, this lady ( about my age or a little younger) came through my line with her daughter who had to have been about 24. She looked at me and with this sarcastic and FUNKY TONE and said “Hello, how are you”. The way she said it made me look up. I looked her dead in the eye and said ” Hello, I’m fine. So, I guess she realized that I knew that she was being funny. Just so happened that I was training this new guy, and as I stood there waiting on her to give me the money for her items. I noticed that she was taking a very long time. That’s when her daughter let out this loud and obnoxious laugh. I knew then, that this daughter knew her mother was acting a fool. I looked at the lady to see what was taking her so long, and I said to myself, she’s doing this on purpose. The guy that I was training noticed it, and so to “kill time” he started asking me some training questions. Afterwards, I turned to the lady to see if she was ready to hand me the money ( people in my line was staring at her like she was crazy). She was taking her own sweet time, purposely trying to set me off. So, after about 2 minutes of her digging slowly in her wallet, I knew for a fact what she was doing, and decided that since I had to wait on her, I TURN MY BODY COMPLETELY TO my trainee and communicated to him somethings about the job, OH SHE DIDNT LIKE THAT……she wanted me to LOOK AT HER, AND WAIT FOR HER. She clearly had me messed up….. I WISH I WOULD!!! Me and the trainee started talking about the different things, and when she realized that SHE WAS ON HER TIME, and that I WAS GETTING PAID and that I HAD ALL DAY……. BUT SHE DIDNT. She decided that she wanted to give me the money. Instead of her saying “maam here you go”. She screams and says ” HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I turned around and looked at her…… then when I went to get the money out of her hand, she had it so close to her breast that I had to reach out to get it, she didn’t want to stretch her arms out across the belt to give it to me, she wanted me to reach for it. I DID…… as I did it, I told my trainee this RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM BOTH…… Remember …. YOU SET THE ATMOSPHERE IN YOUR LINE. YOU ARE THE LEADER…….ALWAYS SMILE AND BE NICE TO PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT. She didn’t like that at all, I hand her the change and told her to have a nice day.

#GURLBYE

 

My point….. I’m trying to understand what is the purpose of coming into MY LIFE, and trying to add me to the ” I’m mad at her list”. Okay and…….. she and her daughter will have something to talk about in the car, then maybe tell a few others just to have a conversation. What is the point? Is this your job for today? Did you really punch Satan’s time clock today? You could have called off you know?

 

I have a million things to do, I have so many phone calls to return, I have to meet folks to do things for me concerning the homeless. I have money from paypal waiting to go into my account, and still I haven’t done that yet. I have money to take to my bank, people at work coming up to me with merchandise for the Homeless, I had ( I went) my great nieces BD party to go to this evening. I have to get off work and find gifts for the baby. I have so many things to do, and here comes this lady doing whatever she can to transfer her GARBAGE to me. I’m not even upset, my question is………where does this come from? I’m finding this to happen all the time. A lot I can ignore, but lately its been bad.

 

There is so much in this world that can be discussed to get done. So many people hungry and homeless. Don’t come barking at me…..cause this VIRGO will pull out her CANINES. Meaningless conversations kills me. I’m not about to debate or argue with anyone, either you like it or you don’t, you either will or you won’t. Conversations these days should be quick and to the point when you know what you’re going to do. I’m not about to spend 40 minutes on a topic when a person mind is already made up, Chose one and move on. Its either A or B. * blank stare*

 

I’m a teacher at heart. When I speak its to teach and to learn . I’m not a person who puts sugar on the truth. I carry salt in my purse NOT sugar. This lady came through my line, and she didn’t want to lift a finger. I had a lot to ring up and ask her in my nicest voice ( showing all my teeth).. “Maam, can you do me a favor and start loading your bags in your cart, so that I can have space and continue to ring?” She said ” I didn’t know I came here to work”! In my mind I laughed a little, cause I’m saying to myself…… These are YOUR items…… HELP ME HELP YOU!!!! What is wrong with that, most people will say OMG , IM SORRY….. LET ME GRAB THESE BAGS!!! Then these are the same people who will get older and want/need a person to help them, BUT when they were in position to HELP THEMSELVES they wouldn’t. These are the kind of people who feel others owe them something. SMH. I feel really bad for a lot of people. People who think others OWE THEM ARE THE WORST PEOPLE!!!

 

In other NEWS……. Its almost time to go and pass out dinners to the Homeless for Thanksgiving. We do this Wednesday Nov 23, 2011. We are feeding 90-100 people and I’m very excited. This year we had so many people to donate, that I didn’t get a chance to let my FB friends be apart of it. So many people sent me messages asking why didn’t I post it. I feel bad in a way, but usually my out of town friends help, and my Walmart family. They filled the need, my issue is always space in the trucks and cars. It takes a lot of space to hold 90 dinners with 3 deserts and 3 drinks. I need a truck. I hope that I can come up with some money to get me one next year before I move to Atlanta. I really need this. All I do is pray about it, so hopefully something with give soon.

 

Im closing for now. Remember people NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING!!! Do for yourself while your CAN…… cause one day you/me/we are going to get OLD, and that’s when you really cant do for yourself. Then you will feel good about receiving the help. But come on now, stop thinking someone owe you something while you are young. do what you can. Also, stop the meaningless conversations……..MAN, ITS TIRESOME AND IGNORANT. Either you like it or not, either its Yes or No, Holding a conversation about a subject you have already made your mind up on is MEANINGLESS!!!

 

GOD LOVES YOU!

Bullies…..Cree’s Blog Entry

Hey Fam!!!

Thank you Lord for all the Lessons I’ve learned from the Oprah’s Life Class from OWN and the LIVE WEBCAST. I have learned so much about myself, and about others that I couldn’t even write it down right away I had to let it sink in my mind, and had to think about it over and over. I really LOVED and appreciated the time she made for us to “to get it” and that’s what I did. I got it!!!

Anger~ In middle school…I use to hang with bullies so that I wouldn’t be bullied. But truth was, I was being bullied from people that I grew up with at home. I hated it too. But now I ask myself…well why did you hang with them? A part of me found some things they said to others were funny, and I love to laugh. But as I got older I realize that I laughed on account of someone being bullied and hurt.

Today, in my life I CANT STAND BULLIES!!!! I will mentally ( in such a nice way) tear away at someone who commits this act in from of me. I found out by watching Oprah’s Life Classes that this is were 95% of my anger comes from WHEN I do get it. When I see people knocking over the next person to be first in line, that’s a bully. That bothers me because it tells me that its ALL ABOUT YOU. Selfish acts bothers me. I know this gurl who is always asking someone to buy her something, but when she’s in position to buy and help out someone, she can’t do it. That’s a bully to me. This is how she lives her life. I see this a lot, and it really bothers me. But now since I realized where my anger was coming from, I have the power to control it. It was hard for me because I wouldn’t understand why I was feeling that way. I use to be a bully in my own way,

I hung out with them to keep from being bullied, then I saw that I was being bullied from the people that was outside of my school.

Its funny now how the table has turned. No matter what I do, or where I go, I am a pretty popular person. I come in contact with a lot of people. And I will NOT TOLLERATE any bullying at all!!! I understand that I have a lot of influence over people, I see a lot, I hear a lot and this is probably the reason why I HATE GOSSIP. I stand up for the underdog. I fight ( not physically) for them all the time. I’m so glad that I have a voice, and is known for telling the truth and taking up for others. I don’t stand around and watch someone go Hungary, being talked about, being bullied. I have learned too, that a lot of times I have to fall back, and that’s okay. But I’m glad that I had that experience growing up, so now I understand getting bullied, and taking up for the person being bullied. To me bullying is as simple as someone who CUTS in front of 8 people saying……… I HAVE TO GO, AND I DONT HAVE TIME TO STAND IN THESE LONG LINES, TAKE MY ORDER SO THAT I CAN GO!!! I will get FIRED and walk out before my HANDS take that customer. I will never tolerate that kind of behavior.

I’m really happy that by watching that show on Anger it has showed me an area of my life that I never understood. Now, I have a grip on these kinds of issues, when they are presented I know how to handle them without getting upset.

Be a Blessing to Someone!!!

Thank you Lord for Blessing me to be a Blessing.

 People, Love and treat each other like you want to be treated. Stop being selfish……not only with money, but with yourself. And yes….. Im preaching to myself as well. Look for ways to bless someone, this life will soon pass away… and ask yourself what do you really have?

Have compassion for each other, come to an agreement. Think about the feelings of others. Stop the drama and the gossip…..it hurts people. Learn to listen, ask and answer questions. Take care of your love ones… take care of everyone who comes into your circle.

 Be Blessed!

My Vent….*feeling better* Cree’s Blog

So much has been going on since I last blogged. I’m going to have to break this down to 3 parts, because each part gets deeper and deeper. When I get to the last part, you do NOT want to miss this testimony. Its real deep.

I cannot STAND SELFISH people. I’m not JUST TALKING with gifts, money, or any form of physical thing, but also with how they treat people. Selfish people are the ones always needing something, and feel that when they ask for it, they should get it because they feel people owe them something. I’m also tired of people who take, take, ask, ask and when you take, ask or need, they need to get back to you. That’s a form of selfishness and control, and those are 2 things I do NOT play. I love people, and those around me knows this, but I will diss your a@@ in a New York Minute. I can go days, months, hours, and years trying to see good in a person, but when it hit me, ITS A WRAP. I know I can be blunt and out spoken, but I have to be, because I give to much of myself, and I’m tired of people thinking just because I’m nice and sweet , that I will allow myself to be ran through the mill. I will DISS YOU FOREVER!!!

I hate to be this way, but when you look back at peoples track record all you see is BS. Like are you serious? This week alone, I have to diss 3 people. I have too. I’m cleaning house of friendships. I don’t want to see them or talk to them again. That’s it. I’m done. My life is peaceful, my home is even more peaceful. I don’t have time for that ONE WAY STREET MESS!!! All because of SELFNESS! They are TOO SELFISH!!! I’m done talking about it. Its a WRAP!!

In OTHER NEWS…..I was talking to a coworker, when this guy walked up, and stood kinda behind me. He was tall and thick and handsome. He was looking at magazines. He looked down at me and I was like ummmmmm this brother is kinda cute. I love a man who is tall and stands over me like I’m a piece of paper. So, he left, and when it was time for me to punch out, he was at the time clock too. I said oh, I didn’t know you worked here. He said yeah I work in the back, I don’t come out on the floor. So, I was like Ohhhhh ( in my sexy voice). The next day I was in subway, and he comes and ask if he can sit with me. I told him yes, we started talking, and I sensed that he was young. So I asked him… how old do you think I am? He said…. about 32. I laughed. So, I asked him how old he was. he said 20. *blank stare*. I said boyyyyyyyy, do you know how old Ms. Cree is? He said how old? I said 44. He said I like older women. Okay AND……… I DONT LIKE YOUNGER MEN!!!!!! #lilboybye

Let me wrap this up because the more I think about these people, the angrier I become. #youreouttahere!
