Again...

im sitting here at work...its been a pretty relaxed day...just editing my little heart out..in a few more hours it will be over...and i will be going to pick up 21 from the base...its been almost two weeks...and i miss him...

so while i have some down time i decided to chill on youtube and at the moment i am watching lenny kravitz in his video again...i forgot how much i love this song..i used to put it on repeat in college, i think i got my rommie andrea hooked too...i went and bought his greatest hits album just for this song..and found quite a few others that i fell in love with like "mama said" and "it aint over til its over"...

so right at this moment i am picturing myself waking up on sunday morning...putting on lenny and stepping out onto my balcony with a cup of coffee...earlier this week they cleared the trees from in front of my balcony so now i can peer right into the horse stable...the horses are gorgeous...yes this is my plan for tomorrow morning...and then i think ill come back inside, put on a sex and the city dvd and pretend to read some more of "eleven minutes"...maybe a little later ill go look in on 21 and watch him sleep for a couple sconds (you ever do that?) before gathering up my laundry and taking it across the hall...

yeah...that sounds like the start of a nice day...

my cell phone exploded!

so last night im playing with my phone....and then it started trippin....turning itself on and off then on then off then on then off....you get the picture...

i actually woke up before 11 to go to the sprint store....

thank God i got that insurance....

but i am phoneless until friday....sprint had to order me a new one...on top of that the good folks at sprint could not retrieve any of the data on my phone...and of course i never got around to backing up anything soooo....if you could please send me your cell numbers and emails and any other information you would like me to plug into my new phone when i get it it would be appreciated...also if you need to reach me....ummm...e-mail me, i would say call my home phone, or my work phone but i never got around to memorizing those numbers either...

thanks yall...love ya!

ooh, my email - swatkins7118@yahoo.com


what am i going to do without my cell phone...i feel lost...i mean if i cant send at least 20 text messages a day i go through withdrawal...*sigh*

i have a new motto...

"spend no money, add no calories"

this is my motto for when i meet up with the crew on tuesdays and thursdays....sometimes wednesdays, fridays and saturdays too...we like to mix it up every now and then...

im not a big drinker...i did my thing in college but have mellowed out a lot since then...once i arrived in cali i found out one of the local bars was the meeting spot for everybody...and i found myself drinking a lot more than i had in a long time...i had to take a step back and ask myself why am i trying to keep up with everyone else...why am i drinking at least 3 to 4 days out the week?...not enough to get drunk but just the fact that i had one drink or two drinks a night was more than i needed...

so now when i go out, sometimes ill have a cute little cosmo or nothing at all...i usually keep a bottle of wine or two at the house just in case when folks come over i have something to offer...

ok..my motto...ive been mulling over my DO BETTER list...and it hit me...i can knock out two birds with one stone...saving money and getting in better shape...

so basically now when i meet up with everyone at the bar...ill drink water....water is free and water has no calories...have yall checked out the calories in beer and liquor...yeah...i could use those calories for something else like real food...

and even though i do usually get the hook up on my tab...pennies add up...i could save that money and pay a bill...i swear sprint is getting rich off me...

since i already have cut back...breaking my ties completely shouldnt be that difficult...im sure ill have a glass of wine every now and then and im sure ill have a cosmo every now and then...if nothing, im realistic...but im motivated to just chill out, i dont need it...im trying to DO BETTER this year....
