OVER, OVER, OVER!!!

Good morning!

To God be the GLORY, school is out. Overall, my students were extremely sweet; this year, it was the adults. As my mother recently informed me, there's a special place in hell for some people. Trust me, there are two particular individuals who Satan is waiting on.

I am scheduled to teach summer school; I literally had to pitch an absolute bitch to get it. There was no doubt that I was being "blocked" from teaching SS, and after three years of being denied, I said, "HELLS. NO. TO. THIS. SH*T." I spoke with the right people @ the right place, and "miraculously," I was informed that I got a class to teach. I literally did the holy dance.

Why are people so evil? Who/what circumstance has robbed them of their joy?

Weekend plans? In about 20 minutes, I am headed to the Y for a spin class. My hips are coming down, down, down, and I am sore, sore, sore.

I have included a picture of Ann's last day teaching. After 40 years of teaching high school English, she has retired. Ann was one of the few people @ my gig that I genuinely liked and respected. Ann was a professional, but she spoke her mind. I said, "Ann, I am now stepping into your shoes." Sometimes, you have to be direct and tell folks like it is. You just get sick of mess.

I am SOO psyched for two things: Sex and the City: 2 and the sequel to Waiting to Exhale (the book). WOO HOO! What are you reading?

COUNTDOWN/MONDAY'S MUSINGS

Good morning and HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!

I am in an amazing mood; Wednesday is the last day of work. HIPHIPHOORAY!!! Please do know that I am thankful to the Lord for a career; however, this has been the year of HELL. Without His Grace, I would not have made it. Without going into specifics, I will say this - - - I have a brain AND common sense. There are some who feel threatened by individuals who possess both, especially the latter.

Monday's Musings:

* I am proud of Katie Washington - - - http://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/lake/article_e1e4192b-80b9-5369-af7b-7855678e0317.html
* Jesus is a friend of mine.
* I am reading Glorious; Bernice McFadden - - - did you need to pay the mortgage and you published this?
* Terry McMillan is BACK. She has written the sequel to Waiting to Exhale; excerpts of it are in the new Essence magazine.
* Why were my feet so dry??? It's called living in the desert. They feel much, much, better after a needed pedicure.
* This weekend, I cooked - - - grilled chicken breasts, blue cheese burgers, orzo with parmesean cheese, green beans with smoked turkey parts and a peach cobbler (on Saturday); Sunday - - - fettucini alfredo and some leftover grilled chicken. Note: I only ate about 3 forkfuls of the pasta. I had just returned from working out, and I did not want to be counterproductive.
* Who is the one person that you can truly count on?

Possessing a Bitter Spirit

Indeed, the dead has RISEN!!!!!

GOOD MORNING!!!

How you be? I have intended to post; however, I have been busy. Today's post is dear to my heart. Two weeks ago, Mom watched a televangelist; he spoke about the need to release one's bitter spirit. The illustration that he used was the following: A woman had been dumped. She began to stalk her boyfriend. While being a "Peeping Thomasina," she was bitten by a rabies-infected raccoon. Her physician was a ble to treat her; howeer, while in his office, she began to furiously record information onto a notepad. When the doctor asked her was she was composing, she said, "A list of all of the people that I will bite prior to being cured."

Does this story hit home?

Today - - - attending a cycling class is #1 on my list. It's time to get this body back in tip-top SHAPE!!

Love.
