It's a new day

Let me start off by saying that I woke up today in the best mood ever. I'm currently at the airport waiting for my flight to Massachusetts. I can't explain in words how happy and excited I am. My b/f and I are embarking on a road trip next week. This is something I have always, always, always wanted to do, however, never really had the opportunity to do so. This is the game plan.. Leave Massachusetts next Thursday early early in the AM.. Like 5 AM early, get to NYC around 10:30 ish, spend the day in NYC, then drive down Thursday night to DC, spend the night there with his family, then explore DC on Friday, then head to FL on Saturday and make it to Orlando on Sunday, just in time to watch Erykah Badu.. :) Which, BTW- He surprised me with tickets for my birthday to watch her live at the house of blues. I think the love gods have finally answered my prayers. I know, I know, it's just the beginning. The "Honey Moon" phase.. But let me say one thing.... I want to make sure this "Honey Mood" phase, never fades.. I want to feel this way forever.. I want to make sure both of us take pride and joy in making eachother happy. There is a quote that I absolutely love "Love is a condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own." If I can make him happy, he will in turn make me happy. It's a revolving door. I wont go on and on about my permanent stay on cloud 9 but I just wanted to share a little bit of my happinesss with the world. ;)

I hope everyone has a GREAT, FABULOUS week and remember that life is too short to be un-happy. Do what makes you happy even if it only makes sense to you.. DO IT.

Oh.. On another note, I dropped out of hair school. Yes.. I am a beauty school drop out. lol I really just didn't feel it's what I want to do for the rest of my life. I felt like the passion I thought I had just wasn't there. My classmates would be so excited when they had to cut someones hair.. Me on the other hand, I was dodging clients like bullets in a crossfire. -___- Def not the way I should feel. Soooo.. With that being said, I start College again in January to work towards completing my pre-requisites to enter the nursing program. My goal is to be a RN by the time I am 30 working in the NICU or the NeoNatal division in a hospital helping babies in need or assisting with the delivery of babies. :)

I think I've spoken enough. lol off to grab a bite to eat before my flight. Wish me luck. I will have lots of pics from my road trip.

"Oh my, my, my my.. I'm feeling highh.. My money's gone... I'm all alone"

Hello world.. I am happy to announce that I passed the first phase of the Aveda Institute. :) Words can't describe how happy I am for that. This was an extremely stressful week. Thank god it's over.. Now next week, onto A1. :) Exciting. Other than that, things are going pretty good.. Might be moving into a bigger place. Still not sure about it but we'll see if it works out. I hope it does because it'll be a good move.. Where I am at now doesn't have a full kitchen and it's a studio so I'd love some kitchen space and some privacy. As for work, I've been working from home so things are starting to look up. :) I feel like things are finally falling into place..

I finally let my guard down and actually let someone into my bubble.. He's been around for a while. He's a friend of my cousins. He's really sweet. We will see how that goes. I'm not in a rush to get into anything honestly but it is nice to have someone to talk to and watch movies with. :) I enjoy the company.

On a not so bright note.. I've gained weight. :( Like 8-9 pounds. NO BUENO. I have a gym membership, I just have to figure out a way to get into a routine.. I'm starting to eat a lot healthier.. Well, aside from the Curry chicken I had earlier.. :) lol I need to get back on a strict diet and work out. I know I can loose the weight. I've done it before.

Well.. I'm out.. Have to blow dry my hair because lil'ol me has a nice lunch date tmrw. :) Hope everyone is doing GREAT. XOXO
