the randomness

i was having some random conversation the other week and i was asked whats my favorite food...i like so many things i couldnt even come up with anything at that moment...too bad starch isnt a food group...it hit me a few days later...

i LOVE potatoes...i can eat potatoes every day...i dont, but i could...french fried, baked, mashed, twice baked, chips, red, yellow, new, garlic...yeah, see where im going with this?

i love potatoes...give me a baked potato topped with veggies, cheese, butter and Lawry's and i good to go....of course i take all the health out of a potato when i put all that on it...so i dont let myself eat them like that as often as i really want to...

ok, so that was my ode to the potato...real random...i think im hungry actually...

its still in the low hundreds during the day out here, hot but not humid, so not too bad...at night its soo nice though...its perfect jacuzzi weather....its great to get off work and head for the jacuzzi with a nice glass of wine...the sky is pretty clear out here so sitting back and just looking in the sky and relaxing is soo...perfect...nights like that there are no worries, just good times...

im still trying to get my fitness on so i can look hot for homecoming...im doing OK, the knees are hurting a little from the high incline i set the treadmill on so i find myself taking more days off than id like...but i have to take care of my knees so that i can exercise properly without injuring myself...im still fly so if i dont make my goal ill be good...im a good size anyway...i really dont need to go down anymore sizes...so who knows...time will tell...

not much going on over here in the desert, just watching the foodnetwork and waiting for football season to be over...anything, new, interesting or exciting around your way?

ALLLRIGGGHHHT here is go!

1. I am going to homecoming in atlanta at the end of the month and i have to look GOOD! i am pushing my workouts to 5-6 days out the week for 45 min to 1 1/2 hours...and i put myself on a stricter eating schedule...at least until i get to atlanta...then im hitting up every single one of my fav resturants with my girls...i havent seen my best friend in 3 years..thats crazy...so we are about to tear atlanta down...i have to buy some new boots, jeans, a dress and sweaters...i know this is going to be a good time...

2. i miss my family...as much as i love california i miss being able to go hang out with my mama (sitting on the couch, eating tuna helper and watching tyler perry plays, lol) whenever i feel like it...but i never want to live in michigan again...i just dont see it happening...

3. i like FIJI water just because the bottle is cute...the water taste like every other bottle water but those bottles arent as cute...i like to put my crystal light packets in my FIJI bottle...it looks so pretty...

4. be fearless

5. my swagger has been so off lately...i need to get back on it...i am slackin...im soo comfy in my relationship i dont do the things i used to do...you know, shave regularly, put on makeup, wear something other than a t-shirt, jeans and sandals...yes, he thinks im cute no matter what but i feel like i need to get back into going the extra mile for him...more than twice a month...so im working on that this month...i plan on throwing on some mascara or earrings or something everyday...jay-z, kanye, t.i. and lil wayne have inspired me with their song swagger..and ne-yo had inspired me with his song miss independent..im lovin the remix to that song by the way...i mean clearly ne-yo, jamie foxx and fa-bo-lo-us are talking about me in their song...so i gotta step it back up and embrace my inner diva...

6. i dont daydream like i used to..and i miss it...i used to zone out and have the best trips in my mind...i guess im letting everyday life cloud my creativity...thats not good...especially for an english major, lol...i miss reading i havent opened a new book in a while, too long..ive been doing way to many other things...and yet, i dont feel like i do much at all...i used to take pride in my book shelves and now i dont even have all my books out...a lot are chillin in a closet..but thats also because ive been too lazy to buy a new book shelf..the ones i do have are full..and i can probably fill up one more...

7. im blessed!
