its been a minute...

last time i wrote i was gushing about my car...that sucker took 2 weeks to get here! i was driving around in a rental for 2 weeks...i hate rentals...but my baby is here now...im loving my impala...and i have my XM radio back so i dont have to listen to the radio any longer...i still have to name my baby...ive been on a don cheadle kick the past couple weeks but i dont think don is a cute name for a car...although don's character mouse in devil in a blue dress is now the name for something else important in my life...here's a hint, it vibrates....

pru and drea kept telling me about facebook so i finally joined the other week..if you are reading this on facebook as a note, its really my blog..i linked it to the site so it updates up every time i update my blog on blogspot...so now i have a facebook account, a myspace account, 2 blogs and im a moderator for a message board i joined 3 years ago...im def doing way too much in the online world...if you see spelangel anywhere its probably me...

so....who thinks the democrats are going to take control over the House after the next election? im editing the wire section of the paper today so ive been reading a lot of political stories...its a big section since its for sunday so ive been on the grind...my eyes almost glazed over from all the stories ive read today though...and we still have a ways to go tonight...

if anyone is in nashville, ill be there in a couple weeks...my journalism fellowship is having a reunion/training...so ill be at vanderbilt for a few days before heading down to atlanta for homecoming...so if you are going to homecoming give me a wave, ive already seen a flyer for some party at some mansion, but i dont know who dude is...i plan on hanging out that week...i have only taken one day off since i moved out to cali in february...how come it was 90 degrees the other day?

michael, yes im going to call you, ive been running around forreal but all is well over here...work has been keeping me busy, which is good...ive had a few surprises, a couple disappointments but nothing ya girl cant handle...love you!

My New Baby!!!

im so excited...my lease was up on my malibu so i had to turn my baby MJ back in to the dealership...my parents got me a good deal on a 2007 Impala where they live in Michigan...so they are having the car shipped from Michigan to me way out here in Southern California...my mama has always called me the expensive child..and i cant even lie about it i am...my parents spoil me...but im not a brat about it..but i know im blessed...although my mama did tell me ill be taking over the payments soon..not looking forward to that day...

so my new Impala is going to be a dark gray, almost black color...i have to figure out a name for it, any ideas?...my first car was Malcolm, he got totalled a few years ago, then i got MJ (stands for my fav Michaels - Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, and Michael Johnson)...yes, i know you are supposed to name your car after a woman...but hell im me, so my cars always have a mans name - i mean think about it, the man in your life is supposed to be protective, dependable, sexy not scared to get a little dirty and ready for anything you throw at him...makes sense right?...

anyway, im bubbling over with excitement...my new car is on its way, ill be going to nashville for my fellowship reunion at Vanderbilt in a few weeks and then ill be hittin up Spelman/Morehouse homecoming in Atlanta...oh and i just purchased a sweet little silver Bullet that is keeping me on cloud nine...*smirk*
