My life this past week!

Dang this past week has just flown by. Every night this week I kept saying I was going to update but just never really made it a priority. I am finally doing so now so be glad :)

Man I just finished watching this weeks episode of Flava of Love and all I have to say is I am going to miss watching this show! If you haven't watched this show then you have missed a quite entertaining show. On today's episode, Pumkin was eliminated, but before leaving her and New York got into a pretty bad argument which ended with Pumkin spitting on New York! Yes you read that right. Pumkin SPIT on New York. Now to me that is one of the worst possible things a human being could do to another person. New York you should have beat that B*#ches A$$!

Moving on I have actually had a pretty good weekend. I decided not to go out on Saturday cause I needed to catch up on some reading cause I have a 10 page book report due on this book in less than two weeks. Yes I have a book report in grad school! Unbelieveable but it's whatever.

On Friday, I worked and then went to the Caucus movie series for Black History month. The movie being viewed was Rosewood. I have to say that man this is a good movie. I had never seen it before. We got about half way through the movie before the DVD player started acting crazy so we didn't get to finish it. Next week we will though and I am quite excited about that. So many things was going through my mind while watching the movie. Imagine living in the early 1900s. It just hurts knowing that African Americans were treated this way. The tragic part is that some still we should be treated this way. I will comment more on the movie next week after I get to see the rest. I would recommend it to those who haven't seen it.

After the movie, my friend, Rhea and myself went to Steak N Shake and then to the movies to see Madea's Family Reunion. Okay now I am not really a big fan of Madea. I just never got into the big crazy that has swept through the African American community in regards to Tyler Perry. Not saying anything bad against him I just never really into the plays. Since I had seen so many previews for Madea's Family Reunion I decided I wanted to see it. Well the movie was ok. yes just ok! I won't go into details about the movie, but I will say that please in your next film find actresses that can cry (with tears) when casting. The one actress, I'm not even sure her name, couldn't seem to shed one tear while "crying". That just really bugged me. I did enjoy Lynn Whitfield in the movie. That girl is such a great actress. She made you really hate her in this movie. Good job on her part. Also, I can't forget my girl Jenifer Lewis. I just love her. Even though her part was very small I enjoy watching her in anything that she is in. She is totally the bomb dot com! It was great going to the movies with Rhea. I really do enjoy the time hangin out with her. She is truly cool peeps!

On Thursday, Millie, Rhea, Kim and me made dinner at Millie's. We had chicken and fries. Donuts for dessert. A little wine to go with the feast also. It was great though. I really enjoyed kickin it with them. I think we kept each other quite entertained on Thursday. I think we might make this a weekly event. And Siddy if you are reading this we will invite you to the next one!

Well not really much has been going on with school. We only have two weeks of classes left for the quarter. Is it me or did this quarter just fly by? I can't believe it will be the month of March in less than three days. I am ready for spring break though. I need a week (well two weeks for myself) to rest and relax and do nothing. This week I will finish up my tax class a week early! yes that makes me happy! I have two in class finals. One will be held on the last day of class and the other the following Monday. So not much longer and I will be beginning my final quarter at The Ohio State University.

My workouts have been going well. I am very happy with my progress. I have decided to begin lifting weights at the start of next quarter. It's been a while since I have done weights. I did it for a little bit my freshman year of college but not real serious since my senior year in high school for football. So yes I will be trying to get buff for the summer. LOL! One thing that does suck about losing weight is the fact that all your clothes now look like they are extremely too big. I don't really like my clothes looking like they are three sizes to big. It's worth it though. Maybe this summer when I start makin the big bucks I will be able to afford a new wardrobe. Okay well enough about the weight loss journey.
