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?

Word.

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.

REMEMBER ME?

The creator of this blog? I know that I have been "slackin'" at updating my blog; however, with the mess that I have to endure on a daily basis, it is a blessing that I shower/dress/leave the house on time for work.

Whew!

Monday Musings:


* I finished The Murderer's Daughters; it was good, but the ending was disappointing
* Are you or God in charge of your destiny?
* You can't tell me that Elin didn't know her man was cheating; I agree with Jim Carrey's comments on Tweeter. Blondie, you ain't THAT damn stupid. I could see being oblivious if it was ONE woman, but TWENTY? On or off the road, I would think that there would be signs.
* Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon - - - now, THIS is who I feel for. The woman had no clue that her husband of 9 years was having an affair for the past FIVE years with a woman in Chicago.
* What are you reading?
* Are you happy with Obama for your Mama? This has been a hot topic with my friends.
* Sarah Palin - SET DOWN. $1 mil/per episode for a reality show on HER life? Seriously.
* What have you cooked lately? I made a "test" pan of brownies, and I still have the touch.
* Dixie Carter - - - a true, Southern belle has gone to see Jesus. You'll be missed, Julia Sugarbaker.
* I saw "Remember Me." Wait until it hits HBO.

Peace.

HE IS RISEN INDEED!!!

Happy Easter!!!


Today, I went to church and celebrated our Lord @ a delicious Easter Brunch. How was your holiday?

More tomorrow.

What's been going ON?

Good morning!

I apologize for the delay. I've been extremely tired in the evenings. Teaching is no joke; I love my profession, but there are days in which it sucks me dry.

How was your St. Patrick's Day? Didn't we just celebrate Christmas and the New Year? I thought of this as I took out my Easter decorations. I have attached pics of my St. Patty's Day card; a photo from work; and, a photo of a colleague and I enjoying the holiday.

WOW.

Current events:

Healthcare bill - - -YES! Obama, it's now time to tackle education.
Sarah Palin - - - please crawl into a hole. Why would someone pay her a million dollars PER EPISODE to simply hear, "You betcha!"
Walmart racial incident - - - we live in sad times
Sandra Bullock - - - I feel for her.
Group that I am working w/at church - - - WONDERFUL. I don't know why God is using me right now, but the results are rather strong.


What are your weekend plans? I am off on Monday; it's our last official day off for the school year. There are some things that I need to do around the house. And of course, I will find something to do. The weather is simply too nice to stay @ home.

Happy Thursday!

An update
