an illegal time-out

wooooooooooo

im just getting a moment to breath, and sit still since like last friday

but somehow it feels illegal, because i have a million things to do.

its like that illegal reading i do sometimes....ill read a leisure book when i have tons of chapters in my text book to be reading. that kinda feeling

but here we are.

i miss writing to you guys.

before...

i would spend my days deciding what to blog about.

now.. 

i just spend my time thinking about getting to blog.

Lola.............Kneesees......Hotgoldenmess...i promise im reading everyday although i have been lax on the comments

i promised a weekend of fun, i lied.

it was nothing close to that,

and i have not one picture, why?

because someone ran off with my camera, i wont say who<<One of them did>>.

i did in the past week set up shop at this cute, fabulous little boutique in atlanta.

the owner is fabulous as well, we have a lot of things in the works. im super excited about that,

and

already tired from whats to come.

oh and the name Star Boutique 

i have been getting orders like crazy..

it was almost like no cared that i was making jewelry..

but then..

everyone stopped at the same time and noticed.

6 weeks in the game, im doing pretty well.

the past 2 months of my life have been like no other

NO OTHER...

time in my life

but in the best way possible.

im about to go before someone calls a foul on me, this just ain't right...yeah i said it...ain't..it just ain't right.

**smooches........

my biggest fear

ill get everything i want.....

and realize that i dont even want it.

not to sound profound or anything, thats my honest fear.

i had to....

post these signs of long life...they were on Yahoo!...i only did it because one applied to me...moms had me at 22. and because they were so abnormal from what i usually read.

1.YOU SKIP SODA (EVEN DIET)

2.YOUR LEGS ARE STRONG

3.YOUR MOM HAD YOU YOUNG
If she was under age 25, you're twice as likely to live to age 100 as someone born to an older mom, according to University of Chicago scientists. The reason, they suspect, is that younger moms' best eggs go first to fertilization, which may mean healthier offspring.

4.YOU EAT AND DRINK PURPLE THINGS
Red wine, concord grapes, blueberries (okay, not quite purple, but close enough) all get that deep rich color from polyphenols- compounds that reduce heart disease risk and may even protect against Alzheimer's disease, according to new research. So crack open a bottle of Pinot (don't overdo it), snack on some grapes, or make a blueberry pie and ponder all the years that lie ahead. Talk about happy and healthy.

you can read the article <<<here>>> if you so choose.

new new

i created a myspace page for 2:14, so add me

<<<HERE>>>

ya know?

those songs you know all the words to from back in the day, but never know the name of the song or who sings the song...

im real bad about that...today i heard one those songs..and whenever i here this song it makes me feel reallllllll good. ya know that feeling.

i just makes me wanna stand up and fight for love, because on most days im all about love.

on this actual one i knew who the singer, but never knew the name of the song. Thank God for google.

a lil something something

i feel neglectful

so im gonna give you something i normally wouldnt to try to make up for the lost times..ya know.
i wrote this a very long time ago, but i still kinda like it.

Love Is A Condition

Love is a condition

Of unconditional unconventional



Does a mother

Still love her son

After he takes

All she ever had?

Well,

I love you

And its not based…

Not based on the words I write

And its not based…

Not based on the words I say

It is

What it is

Love

Based on a condition

Of unconditional unconventional…

Its not based…

On the money you make

Its not even based…

On the songs you write

Its not even based…

On the color of your eyelashes in the dark

If love were a condition

It would be

Unconditional unconventional

Its not fair

To love you in chains

Its not fair

With limbs tied to a tree

But I do

This love ain't no condition

Just unconditional unconventional

So I ask

What is the condition of your love

Is your love based…

On the way my hair flickers in the wind

Based on…

The time it takes me

To grant all your wishes

Are those your conditions

Or just unconditional unconventional

Let me everything

But your expectations

Because…

A love based

On a condition

Can be cured

And I just wanna love you

Unconditional Unconventional

friday nights

so i spent my friday night at the hospital....

in a matter of hours my cousin will be delivering her baby..hopefully

i was instructed by the mother of the child that i couldnt take any pictures of her

but i was allowed to take a pic of the bed

hopefully ill be allowed to snap some pictures of the baby.

but for now im going home to get some sleep

i have been here alllllllllll day.

.

Dear 5+ Readers,

I am gonna get a life soon, so that i can have something to talk about besides what i have been working on. you want no more excuses i understand. you want a little substance i understand that too.

but the truth of the matter is its cold outside...and the cold and i have a torrid relationship. everything in me hibernates in the winter...my soul, my freedom, my life. i have to find some balance in this. because i still have to get out and grind...i cant stay in the house until feb. which is the only time i go out in winter since its the bday time.

but anyhow...this weekend i promise to live just for you guys...actually take pictures of what im doing....and most importantly do some real blogging.

okay? okay!....just stay with me here. i promise ill be worth the wait.

toodles, smooches, love to luv ya...all of that, all of that.

no reallly im leaving now.

so its see you soon, not goodbye.

famous face, famous things

im sick [cough, cough], or else you would get a real update instead of more pictures of my work. but thats all i have the energy for. i dont like being sick or unproductive.
so just enjoy the pictures for me.

for those in the atlanta...ill be selling some at the show next saturday at Lenny's Bar...you should just be there anyway.

oh and customization available..you dream it, i can make it.

the story

i thought that i told the story of 2:14..but i thought wrong.

so addition to all the other things i call myself doing, i have started an accessories line...and its funny its kinda creating a life of its own. its starting to do things i never asked of it.

but anyhow i chose the name 2:14

the reason...

most obvious because its my bday, if you know me.

and the not so obvious reason is because im not a clock watcher or a time keeper...but for some reason ill always happen to look up and its 2:14.

so then i had a conversation with a co-worker about my name choice, and she advised me to look up the scripture in the bible to see what 2:14 was...

i did

and it went a little something like this:

Exodus 2:14:14

"The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be still."

The entire 14th chapter is about the exit from Egypt, and Moses (my dad's name) parting the sea so that people of Israel could cross.

after reading that i was convinced that the name should be 2:14

and as it reads i am being still, and things are moving for me.

just in case you were wondering.

what do you think?

shontelle "t-shirt"

because....

all i could think is she has the same appearance as Dawn from Dainty Kane

and she had this whole Rhianna vibe, there can only be one star who has no real stage presence but we love to continue buy her albums 

lastly...

why would you name your song t-shirt, Destiny Child's has a song with the exact title...

i know i know a million songs with the same name, but not a good look on the first single though. especially when you are trying to establish.

im just saying.

yeah and if you dont watch none of this will make sense.

date with mom

.
Its rare that I take the advice of any advertisement, but I had to give it to the Secret Life of Bees, I decided to take my mom.
I have been a little stressed lately, which isn’t my likely demeanor, so I need to get back to the basics.
And I couldn’t think of a better way than to spend a little time with the woman who is ALWAYS there for me.

Im anticapting that this movie will be really good, and im disappointed I didn’t read the book first.
Hopefully its as good as I think.
Btw Miracle at St. Anna WASN'T.

we need this

so the cosmetics company e.l.f has totally made life a little easier during these hard times. they have cosmetics for $$1.00$$.



sadly i dont even have a dollar to spare.
but you can <<shop here>>.

toodles***

a later addition:

everything on this clothing site 15 dollars, the 15 dollar store. <<Check it out>>

touching the globe

So did I mention my global success??

As we speak, or as I write and you read 2:14 has set sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
A co-worker bought two pair of earrings last week for her sister in the UK.
She left as of today along with her miss fab creation.

These were her choices:

say what?

.
I don’t do too much political talk…but I just needed a take a moment out for these undeciders...

They are getting on my last nerve…at this point in the race what are you undecided about?
Okay so you don’t like the two party system, so what. Its not going anywhere so just pick somebody.
These two people couldn’t be more different. Lets just go to the surface here and you could find a zillion differences without even reading their policies.
All the political analyst keep addressing the undeciders, the undeciders. “obama and mccain must appeal to the undecided”
Please show your face, I wanna know who you are.

I mean really we have to vote in like 20 days…what major things are gonna happen between now and then.
Yes, I know those are a lot of political days. I think most have grown tired of the campaign, and don’t plan to do too much research between now and November.
Personally im just ready to vote.
Soon im gonna be deciding that these undeciders cant vote, what are you waiting for to decide?

i have a love jones

what are the odds..i go look up my favorite movie on youtube, and the first clip is of my favorite part in the whole movie.
although i love just about every part of love jones, i could rate this part. 

this is how my sundays are spent.

yep, i watched it this following sunday. thats what my life has come to.
its enjoyable for those who never watch video post. just watch.

oh yeah and excuse the first few seconds...tech problems.

first dates

one of these days im gonna devote a whole post to why i love love jones.

beyonce beyonce beyonce

beyonce-single ladies(put a ring on it)

but these days i havent put much ink to a pad.

what can i say, i lack focus.

probably my biggest hurdle.

today i did some writing.

i just have to get my juices flowing so that ill be able to write things of real substance.

by tomorrow ill write something that ill just think is really great. and wont post it because i like to keep the great things to myself. makes no sense right.

photo bucket

love



safety first



moonlight



childom

it looks a little something like this...

this is what i have so far...im gonna marinate on it. eh, just a rough draft.

Home Page

.

i have been assigned to create the homepage for my website...its so much pressure..

the home page sets the tone for the whole site..its what people see first.

and i really almost have no clue what i want this to look like.

it is really hard for me to pull images out of my brain...because everything in my brain is mainly a jigsaw puzzle. on top of the fact that i like things to have a obvious meaning and an underlying meaning. i dont know why. but things cant just have surface value to me. i really like the take the road that no one has been on.

i guess thats the beauty of communication...you have to be able to bring to light those things you want to express to the world...

.

and so here goes...ill post my photo shop rough draft.

do you agree

that it goes...


Infatuation

Love

Unconditional Love?


And if so…how do you transition from each phase? More so the infatuation to the love…that’s a hard one for me to grasp. it seems you could easily confuse the two.
And when is it too soon to say “I love you”

My answer would have to be its never too soon…but im just not a hasty person, and love is such an intangible feeling for me that I couldn’t even get into a situation where I think im saying the I love yous too soon.



what do you think??


“If you really love me let me know,

So I wont have to be playing around.”

the men in my life

news flash

okay, and i understand those who arent small want me to shut de hell up...but really, i worked many years to get atleast a 100lbs..

when my skinny-ness(word?) bothered me, i felt comfort in being 100lbs...and i thought if i could just reach that bar then everything would be okay. i even got up to 105 lbs.

sooooooooooooo who signed me up to be under again.

i just wanna know, i wont get mad..or atleast too mad.

i knew i shouldnt have gotten on that scale. darn it.

a secret of buttery rich taste

.
My grandmother suffered from the same overactive sweet tooth as i do…or maybe she passed it on to me.
I cant remember her freezer not having some sort of ice cream in it..or the table with out some sort of cake/pie/cookies
…and then she use to always have these little peanut butter golden candies that I just thought were magically….because I never saw them in the store, and they came in this pretty little container..nothing like a snickers or starburst just packaged in regular paper.

Years later I found out that the candies were actually part of a fund raiser…so they were a little exclusive, but not to the point that my grandmother only had them.
I still didn’t know what they were called.

UNTIL….
A lady at my job handed me a brochure for a fundraiser, and in it I saw my grandmother's secretly selected candies…and they were entitled “Golden Crumbs”….the name is extremely befitting. I love things with a rich buttery taste, and those crumbs surely fit the bill.
I had to order some just in the name of my grand, and of course in the name of our sweet tooth. They arrived today..yay!!
Ordering from a fundraiser is so fun…you pay your money up front..you kinda forget if you are as absent-minded as I am…and then weeks later you get a treat, and its almost like you didn’t pay for it…lame I know.

rainy days

.
i just wanna crawl in bed.


its time for lunch, but i just cant bare getting wet. what to do what to do?
rain makes me so lazy, and i really dont need any help with that.
.

let's wait awhile

.
in honor of janet and her lets wait awhile anthem I wanted to know….

why is that once you become an “adult” you cant wait awhile….when you were younger it was like you had permission or a substantial reason to wait awhile to take things “all the way”
but once you become an “adult”….things go to the we are all grown phase…and basically there is no reason to wait, we already know where this going…
no need for romance??

If we are “adults” then we should want to wait awhile since we already know where this will mostly likely lead.
And we all know that AIDS/HIV is rampant…why continue to have these casual sexually flings??
Part of becoming an adult is maturing and wanting a little more from life
Its about establishing things, planting seeds so that they grow and you are able to see your life become something
And it should be the same way with relationships.

When you are young and naïve you can go into relationships with the mindset that flings are acceptable,
And very likely…because we are young and we know for sure that this isn’t forever.

Am I rambling, or is this making perfect sense?

Im just at the point in my life where flings are the thing of the past…im not taking them into my future
They were fun while they lasted…but that’s just it they never last
And im looking for something that last, something that grows
That in the end makes me a better person, and hopefully I give that same thing to the other person.

And I don’t mind waiting awhile.

“I promise I’ll be worth the wait.”
.

hiatus over?

i went out last night after months of in house hibernation...but for no particular reason beside lack of interest, and now my self-invested 2:14 project.

but..............

............i did go out last night, ONLY to work though.

ha.

every year my girls and i work the clark alumni homecoming black affair....i mean im not in a position to turn down guap, and i get to have fun as well. outside of the men hitting on us ever second they can, its enjoyable. 

boy do i have a mean attitude when im tired, the party ended at 3 and we were still there at 3:30...i was so ready to go, and such an angry female..........

but the real point of all this is i looked great while doing it

you think so?

i guess the hiatus really just began.

uh ooooooh

time is almost up, monday to be exact...i hope all have registered to vote.

register the quote(lil jeezy for ya)...haha.

thats all

toodles.

i promise

..........that i have been working, and the lack of blog substance is for a reason.

who knew it would be so much work to have fun, and im having lots of fun making this jewelry these days. but like i said its much work.

i have within 2 weeks set up a spot in a beauty shop to sell jewelry, and even booked a potential spa party to sell my jewelry.

again who would have thunk??! the little fab one had a purpose

........useless information staring now

also i have been getting these spells lately....i get really lightheaded and cant do much of anything but sit still...not sure what thats about...and not a fan of the doctor's office. sooo hmm hopefully this all passes. 

my progress.....

..........see i told you i have been working.

i bid you a goodnite, and i especially bid myself one i need some sleep.

**smooches((kiss, kiss,kiss))**

what's on the menu

.



my lunch menu consisted of a zillion calories today...
wings from american deli...fries which i hardly eat
a coke...hmmm
ice cream and cake..the same girl who professes to not eat cake
but i have an overactive sweet tooth ( which my friend informed wasnt possible bc they dont really exist, hmmmm?? i disagree).
i couldnt resist the temptation of bday cake, it was that or chocolate.

what did you eat for lunch, care to share.

its official

“Your career is about to pop in a big way, dear Aquarius, and soon you'll have plenty of good news to share with friends!

Sky High

.

snap this picture yesterday...after i decided i was going to write a children's book entitled "Sky High"....a little ironic, maybe a sign. what do you think?
