day dreamin and im thinkin of you...

i was re-reading my Vibe Vixen and saw a cute question that they asked their editors and writers for the issue...and i started trying to think of my own answer..

the question: what is you midsummer night's dream?

it was such a cute question...i had some ideas..then i asked my girls and realized i was limiting myself...they were dreaming about trips to figi and italy....shoo, i was just thinking about going back to atlanta...lol...

and i thought well hmm let me think broader...but i couldnt..as much as i want to visit these exotic places all i could think about was atlanta...

so here is my dream...im going to keep it simple..try not to write too much...leave room for my imagination to feed off of later...

i have the warehouse loft of my dreams, located in midtown or downtown atlanta...and no rent, lol..its just mine...i have a steel gray BMW convertible and black range rover parked in my garage...
i have my girls over and we are drinking champagne and snacking on goodies while getting ready to go out...
and by my girls i mean all my girls...my college ladies, my cali ladies, my michigan ladies, my fellowship ladies...all my ladies...together in one space....yes, my loft is huge, lol

we go out to a fab dinner at one of my fav italian places, Brio...then off to a rooftop party where we dance the night away...and after we are good and toasty and sweaty from dancing...we end up at waffle house for some late night grease...lol

in the morning i wake up to the smell of coffee and mcdonald mcgriddles...my marine has come over to surprise me with breakfast cause he is just sweet like that..and he knows mcgriddles are my crack...we cuddle on the couch while we eat and talk and laugh...we take a hot shower together and end up in the bedroom for some bonding time, lol...

okay thats as far as i got....lol...

had some more ideas but...hanging with friends and loving down my man seemed to be a good enough dream for the moment...
so..

whats your midsummer nights dream?

whats been going on?

its long..enjoy...

is it narcissistic to think that folks really wanna know what going on in my life?
so a few weeks ago i got in a car accident on the way to pick up my marine from the airport...begin who i am, and full of steam/adrenaline at the time...i called my girls, got my car towed, called my insurance company, called my parents, got everyones info, secured a rental..and within 2 hours was back on the road to pick up my huny....of course being out of it and going to an airport i never been to before i got lost...but we made it back home...oh, but i felt it the next day...especially because me and my huny stayed up til at least 4 a.m. watching tv...and other things, lol....i had to take him back to base the next day before going to work..i was totally out of it..i made it through most of the day and told my boss i had to take some sick hours...i just really needed some sleep and a long, steamy shower....oh and on the way home from the airport my guy tells me that he is going to be on some training mission in the desert for a month....a month...

so that was about 2 weeks and some change ago...he managed to call me for my birthday on the 11th..i didnt think id hear from him because it phone doesnt work out there...but he found a way to give me a call and tell me happy birthday...i cant tell you how happy that made me...

my girls ushered in my b-day week/vacation with a brunch..they called over all the girls and we had mismosas and a big buffet of food..it was fun, real relaxed and just chill...we went through about 3 bottles of champagne that day...

the day after my b-day i flew home for a few days to see my family...i foulnd that i dont have a room anymore...my grandma moved in to my old bedroom and they other bedroom is now an office...so i had the couch...but it was great..i hadnt spent that much time at home in a couple years...i hung out with friends, shopped, hit a couple clubs, went to cchurch and just relaxed...it was a great time...i really missed my family...oh and i ate too..i ate EVERYTHING...krispy kreme is the devil! i think i hit almost every resturant that i miss...

but now im back...my huny called (i warned yall a long time ago i was going to talk about his ass repeatedly, so dont get all huffy) me last week and told me they had a 24 hour leave over the weekend...you know i was TOO excited...and i also realized i had been slacking in the shaving department..i was a HOT MESS yall...and so i had to handle that...it took a minute too....it was bad...

so after all that he texts me saturday morning and tells me he cant come...so me being the understanding *cough, cough* girlfriend that i am told him that is was ok and that i understood...i was kinda pissed though....so me and my roomie get up, make some coffee and are having a catch up session....since she works days and i work night we dont see each other during the week...se we are chillin, playing with the puppy and having a good start to our saturday morning when the doorbell rings...yall, im simple....real simple...im thinking its our girl marie...but uh, marie has a key....its my baby...he wanted to surprise me...but he has a key to so it didnt even cross my mind that he would be at the door...my shaving did not go in vain...HA....

i still had to work that day but he had plans to meet up with his boys so i wasnt worried about having to entertain him...after i got off me and my girl marie went to the house and had 2 bottles of wine, lol..and some tacos!...lol we were TOASTED...and in walk him, his boys and my roomie...and they were toasted....so we all huing out being stupid til about 4 in the morning...me and my huny got some much needed time just to be in each others faces...yall, i love that man...yeah i said it...im kinda hardcore and when it comes to being in love and being mushy but yeah well...im there...and not uncomfy at all and love being around him...and he is the same way...

well he is back in the desrt now for 2 more weeks...and i am missing him like crazy...i think i wore one of his shirts for almost two days, until it stopped smelling like him and started smelling like me..and well i needed to shower...lol...

so here i am at work right now...i think thats my update....oh i ran into the most triflin starbucks when i was in the detroit airport...i get off the plane, after hardly any sleep..i see the big, bright starbucks sign and get excited...i wait in line for almost 15 minutes..i order a grande non-fat mocha...i pay my money, and get my drink...and walk away....i was thinking to my self"this cup feels kinda light" i take a sip....its nonfat milk, and cream...no mocha, no espresso...and i dont have time to go back cause my mama is outside, parked illegally at the airport waiting for me...so on the way back to cali..i end up at the same starbucks...i said to myself...let me try this again..but its late, im ging to order a tall green tea/lemonade...i shoulda known by the way they were bumpin mary j. blige all XTRA loud....but im one to give the benfit of the doubt right....they ask if i want my tea sweetened...yes...yall...that tea...Lawd help me...she must have thought i ordered kool-aod cause there was more sweetener than lemonade...yall..i know i should went back and told them to redo it..but i didnt have the energy..i was thinkin "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"...i knew better but nope i chose to play myself...so me and my kool-aid tea and my vibe vixen found a corner and sat until it was time for me to board...

oh, for my birthday i bought myself a new journal..im thinking new journal for a new year...i have to through a couple thoughts i wrote in it on here...i try and call myself getting deep every once in awhile....k, now i have to go update my other blog...so if yall know the name of that blog look for something soon...

whats been up in your life? spill it!
