Some of My Barbie Collection

I have a bad habit of holding on to old things. I just gotta let go of the past  and move the heck on. I decided to clean out my closet, get rid of old papers, college notebooks, and some of my vintage  toys.

EBay was the destination for my Barbie van, glamour house, salon,workout center, and pool (not pictured). OK lemme  back up the original plan was to have my future daughter that has not been conceived yet inherit mommas Barbie collection. Although my clock is ticking, I could use some extra bucks in my pocket. And really do I want her playing with a 1980’s van?

As I went through my old stuff and  opened up the boxes nostalgia kicked in. My stuff is in good condition. Barbie & The Rockers, The Heart Family, Tropical Barbie, and a few more. I don’t know why a lot of their heads popped off though. The clothes are so big and 80’s with Dynasty written all over them.

Needless to say I decided that I’m not selling shit! I got stingy. I’m not even gonna let my daughter play with my stuff. She can play with my Cabbage Patches & Real Baby’s (pictured in the lower right hand corner). BTW I was doing the Angelina way back then I had black and white babies!

I gotta let this trick go!

“She makes you trust her against all logical judgment, makes you want to please her even if your own happiness is compromised, and imprints herself on your mind with disconcerting speed and force.”

I read this quote years ago in Utne Magazine. I felt like this quote was talking directly to me because I had a friend just like this! Words to describe this person: Liar, fake, insecurity, attention whore, reckless behavior, controlling, manipulator, sneaky.I think many of us had a friend like this at one point in our lives. The question is, are you still friends? If you’re no longer friends with the person what did you do to separate yourself from the person?

We all have opinions. We’re either tweeting, facebooking, blogging, and of course going back to the original source of giving our opinion; opening our fat traps to give our two cents  on every issue to anyone that will listen. Why are we so obsessed with telling everyone, everything all the time?

Narcissistic Much?

My motto this year is,  It’s Time. Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a procrastinator. I have to stop dreaming and start making my dreams come true. First up is my young adult novel, I’m Changing.

I'm Changing

I’m Changing is loosely based on my experiences as a middle school teacher, not to mention my real life experiences as a growing girl. This year I will be a published author. Next up making this blog better and toning up these thighs!

Many ladies will get up and sing the hell out of a Beyonce song.  Diva, I’m a Survivor, Independent Women, Bills, Bills, Bills, and we lose our minds waving our left hand up on Single Ladies. We tilt our head just like Bey in the video too don’t we? It feels good to know that we worked hard and we have the accolades to show for, but what do those accolades truly mean when you don’t have no one to share it with?

Each day each day I play the role

Of someone always in control

But at night I come home and turn the key

There’s nobody there, no one cares for me

Oh what’s the sense of trying hard to find your dreams

Without someone to share it with

Tell me what does it mean- Run to You  Whitney Houston

If I hear one more statistic on the lack of good men especially in Atlanta I’m gonna scream. Yada, yada, yada leave it up to statistics I’m gonna be alone for the rest of my life.

Anyway do we really love being independent? Do we really love the title of being a strong woman?

I am a huge Kelis fan! So when I found this sweet gem entitled,No Security. Kelis is actually featured on this track by the Crookers, but of course this track is all hers.
