so instead of getting the skirt that i wanted from forever21...
i got my PERIOD...
which caused me to get alll offf topic with my shoppping list and get a random
cute but unnecessary outfit...
so i went from spending 20 to dippin into my bank acct and spendin a good 60 sum....smh

Blame on bloating, Blame it on the backachesss

TAMMY has new tires and I'm going to get her inspected TUESDEE...
I just neeed an oil change and my belt tightened now...
I truly believe that an oil change to a car is like us getting our hair done....
like my car just KNOWS she's cute after she got her oil changed...with her dents
and her taped on license plate in alll LOVE MY LIL SENTRA...

btw i got in a car accident with my friend today and I am so grateful that it wasn't what it shoulda been !!
God is Gooooood!!

Ohhh and my phone bill isn't due until May 11th [talk ab it!!]
So I'm most likely ordering my jacket FRIDAY as soon as I get paid!!!!

after this i PROMISE i'm not spending anymore money on clothes....
I'm paying both of my credit cards off in 60 days !!
oweing people is NOT cute!!!


washing my hair tonite...HALLELUCHA

must have!!!

EVERYTIME I WANNA DO GOOD!!!

If you're an urbanoutfitters lover like me

than you know they just restocked like 200 items

i have got to have this jacket!!!

not next weeks check (cz that's for the hair show)

but the check after that...[lol]

i will most definitely, definitely

be buying this jacket!!!

i really have a problem with falling in love with clothes...

b/c no matter the price it is a done deal wen i lay my eyes on it

but i'm claiming this as my summer jacket....

[aside from the denim one i'm going to get and couture like crazy]

i'm just dissapointed in the 3 weeks i have to wait to order it =[

ps...

this skirt and all of its sasha fierceness will be mine this weekend!

LOVING YOU, LOVING ME

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!

i know it sounds kind of cliche...but i've grown to realize that the things we deem "cliche" are just old wise sayings that we think are too old to remain relevant to our generation....we fail to realize that there is NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN..and old lessons, old stories, old wisdoms are still just as relevant today as they were in our mother's, in our grandmother's, in our great grandmother's generations....this message is SO trueeee.. and i'm not saying it just to say it...i've been there, def done that, and GROWN from it...

i do believe that every woman has a time wen she has to examine her life....and decide how much she really does love herself [and i'm not on my india aire tea sippin, incense burnin, stuff rite now this is just alicia's perspective]...if you don't love yourself...NO ONE WILL...if you don't RESPECT your self...WHO DO U THINK IS GONNA RESPECT YOU?! (NOT ME!PSHT!) if you don't realize that, if you don't at some point look at yourself from God's eyes and believe the things He has for you...nothing in your life is gonna make you feel validated, you'll end up with the WRONG person, around the WRONG people... still feeling that same emptiness and wondering why...REAL TALK

LET'S GET IT TOGETHA LADIES!

I really need to get control over my spending...
I SHOULD HAVE NEW TIRES
instead i spend my money on clothes and accessories...
i dnt understand it...
i went so long without ever having to buy any new clothes
not that i didnt need them
i just didnt NEED them
it's 2009 i cant be doin this ...
spending money all impulsively ...i'm a business woman time to act like it lol

so with that being said ....with my little scarce check this week...along with babysitting and doing hair money i'm going to force my dad to accompany me to get some gently used tires lol and get an oil change and the belt on Tammy [aka my nissan sentra] fixed...she is A NECESSITY in my life right nowww!! she gets me to and from church, work, and allll of my clients...so i gotta treat her like she's important plusssss she needs to PASSS INSPECTION and get my ticket dismisseddddd cz momma needs to save that 130 dollars for something cuteee lolol

can the CHANGE please start with us?!
can we "get money" with degrees, and certificates, and REAL. LEGIT. BUSINESSES.
can our men stop rocking CORNROWS past the age of 15???[personal urkance]
can we think for ourselves and not vicariously through rappers who don't even think for themselves..
can we be bold enough to stray away from the expected...
to STOP FILLING STEROTYPES
TO STAND OUT.
can SOMEBODY my age PLEASE enlighten me for a second ???

im jus sayin'
