I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving celebrating with their family and friends. I had the best Thanksgiving of my life! The day was absolutely perfect. I woke up and prayed. Then I put on the Macy’s Day parade and stuffed the turkey. Everything about the day went smooth. Lee is a saint sent by […]
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Prepping for T-Day
So Thanksgiving is two days away and I am very excited! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love prepping for the day, prepping the food and cooking. One of the things I am most excited about it making my Grandmother’s Famous Stuffing. I love making this stuffing because not only because my Grandmother an incredible […]
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Thankful
I’ve spent the last few days thinking about who I am to different people. The people that matter to me the most, don’t need or want me to be any more than I am everyday. And then there are people who need, want and take from me because they need, want and take from everyone. […]
Monday, November 17th, 2008Overdoing Life
Sometimes life is more demanding and we deal with it and sometimes we don’t deal with it so well. Work has become a bit much for me lately. I don’t mean to complain about it because I love my boss and because it’s partly my fault. Teaching isn’t hard, but the extra projects have overtaken […]
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Justice for Nixzmary Brown in Brooklyn
The mother of Nixzmary Brown was sentenced to 40 1/3 years to 43 years. Nixzaliz Santiago claimed that she was an abused woman and tried to get off from this sentencing. Yet, the court found that she should have protected Nixzmary and could have prevented her death. Tears flow down my cheeks – sadness because […]
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Obama Shines Hope in NYC
My best friend, Karen looked around on the subway and was disappointed that everything looked and felt the same. She thought people would dress up (or at least shower) and that people would be happier today, but she didn’t see or feel anything different. I asked her if she felt different and she said no. […]

Friday, November 7th, 2008Mistletoe Already
I didn’t feel well last night or this morning, so I called in sick. I woke up late and with coffee in hand browsed the Pottery Barn website. Not too much damage done. I got this cute ornament to help me get over my cold. It was $6.00 (free shipping). I love mistletoe. Not really […]
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Pottery Barn – Have a Huge Sale Please!
Seriously, I adore Pottery Barn. As I looked through the catalog, I saw these cute little reindeer. Oh they are so cute each with their own personality and their little names sewn on their clothes. I love Christmas items that go with songs such as these reindeer or anything related to the Patridge in a […]
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Bloomberg Tax Your Cronies!
So after experiencing a wonderful evening where the first black American was elected president, I have to hear about Mayor Bloomberg’s budget cuts and tax hikes for NYC residents. Yet, Ratner and big businesses will be getting huge tax breaks. Since Ratner will have federal tax breaks, I am sure he wouldn’t mind a city […]
