i still have this cold, but at least my throat isn't on fire. yesterday, i was worried that i would have to go to tha doctor cuz i still have a lot of phlegm in my system and it isn't clearin up. isn't green phlegm a sign of pneumonia or sumthin? gotta b well for my trip in two weeks.

in yesterday's post i said i didn't wanna go to work today. looks like i may get my wish. i'm feelin really bad. my throat is really sore and my ear is hurting. i hope it isn't strep (sp?). that was tha first thing to pop into my early this morn. i haven't been to sleep cuz i've been uncomfy all nite.

maybe these grits will soothe tha pain....

tha show on sat. nite was absofuckinlutely fab o lous! wiz did her thing and shined. me and miss rina got our drink on between hi.fives and ugogirls. lol i had madd fun. tha day is almost over and i've spent all of it in my pjs. i don't wanna go to work tomorrow. i'm anxiously awaiting tha month of march. then i'll b closer to seein my peeps and meetin a certain monkee.

i haven't been feelin well tha last few days. i left work early today. b4 goin home, i decided to got to tha mall and check out tha fur rondy craft fair.

fame is on and boy oh boy does leroy look tasty.

my v.day started w/ findin a card taped to my door. it was from my daddy. i love him! that was tha highlite of my day. i was in a good mood until lunch. i ate and tha itis set in afterwards.

in otha news...gearin up for sat. nite's show. tha open mic was cut from tha show's format so i didn't even bother finishin my piece. now wiz says it's back in and i have to do sumthin. *frown* i'm goin to stay positive and believe that i will b able to finish tha piece.

happy valentine's day.

i'm supposed to b in bed, but i started hookin up my otha blog...yarn.fiend/a day in tha life of... all of tha knitting/crocheting/creative stuff will b there.

goin to bed...for reals.

i woke up this morn to a blizzard. tha wind blew hard and it snowed all day. it was cold and everybody @ work was hopin for tha man upstairs to give tha go ahead to leave. we luv snow days @ work. it didn't happen tho'. 5pm couldn't come fast enuff. i got home as quickly (and safely) as i could and have veggin out on my couch since then.

i'm sleepy and have dishes to wash. gotta do my taxes (taxes r tha devil). it seems like i procrastinate longer w/ each year.

goin to bed...*yawn*

i really would like to make a poncho, but don't have any cash to buy yarn i want. i'm thinkin 'bout usin miscellaneous scraps instead. that should b interesting.

been in a funk tha last couple of days. i'm fightin loneliness and depression. tryin to stay focused. oh, excuse me. i can hear kwas now...there's no such thing as try. either u do it or u don't. i'm doin my best to stay focused. *smile*

i'm watchin tha cell right now and thinkin i need to smoke a lil sumthin sumthin. this movie is bugged out.

tha days r gettin longer and i'm gettin ancy for spring. i wanna walk barefoot in tha grass and smile @ tha sun.

i'm cravin conversation right now. malibu rum and oj is runnin thru me and i'm wantin to feel tha warmth of big arms wrapped 'round me.

i think i laugh too much. i have a really huge smile. sometimes i like it, most of tha time i don't....feel like miss celie smilin in front of shug for tha first time. gotta cover tha shit up. haha. my day was long. it snowed all nite and all afternoon and i had absolutely no work to do. i did fill-in puzzles all frickin day. babygirl goes to her dad's tomorrow and i'll b all by my lonesome for two weeks.

i decided to make a bag for my trip. a special bag w/ pockets and big wooden buttons and...i think i'll make it outta hemp and line it w/ denim. thinkin 'bout makin a black poncho too. if i do it, it'd b tha first one i've eva made.

it's official. i'm goin to dc. got my ticket this evenin and i'm thrilled. i get to see ess, fadimata, my girl hazel, and hopefully kwas.

babygirl is workin on her math homework and i'm in tha middle of washin clothes. i wish i could just blink my eyes like jeanie and that shit could b done. i loathe washin clothes. loathe it! i've got an order to fill too. my page is finally producin some business. *givin thanx*

OH! relocatin was heavy on my mind today. there was an earthquake and it hit a lil too close to home. shit wasn't cool, but i'm glad it wasn't tha "big one". earthquakes never used to bother me 'til nbc aired that movie "tha big one" several years back. i'm p.noid.

gotta work on these hats...

i spent my superbowl sunday knitting. i was determined to finish a hat i started 4 days ago. i started @ 130 and finished 'round 11. i was a tired sista, but i finished and went to work today w/ a really cute hat. went to michael's and went a lil crazy buyin yarn. bought some glue and some colored tissue paper to decorate my collection of glass bottles. not sure what i will do w/ them when i'm finished. maybe turn them into flower vases, pencil holders...

workin on my scarf right now...tha pink fuzzy one i started so long ago (a month ago). it will b done. i want to have it when i get off tha plane in dc next month.

happy monday...

my dishes r washin and i'm takin a short break from crochetin. thinkin 'bout that beautiful.brown.buttafly.collar wearin brotha. he's tha bestest. tonite, babygirl has a friend spendin tha nite. this is a major event bcuz i neva let anyone spend tha nite. he called to send positive vibes cuz he knows my patience is madd short. it's been cool. so far i haven't had to kill anybody. well, not yet anyway.

back to him tho. while talkin, we shared some more verses. as always, it was dope. out of nowhere i told him that @ nite i wished he could b in my bed to talk, listen to miles/coltrane, and cuddle. i could feel him smiling. we will b togetha...one day.

i've got my luv potion handy to speed up tha process. *smile*
