Let's see....

Let's see if I remember how to work this thing.... It's been forever and a day since I've logged in to blog. Figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to stop by and say "HAPPY EASTER!"
Enjoy your day!

TIPS TO STOP SNORING....

The following tips will hopefully teach you how to stop snoring. It's important to remember that different remedies will have varying success depending on the individual.

1. If you are a smoker... SSTTOOOPPP smoking. Or at least avoid smoking right before you go to bed. Smoking causes inflamation and swelling of the throat.

2. Elevate your head by sleeping on a thicker pillow or multiple pillows will help reduce your snoring.

3. Avoid dairy products, which can cause mucus build-up right before you go to sleep.

4. Try following a regular sleep routine.

5. Try taking in a little bit of honey before sleeping.

EXTRA TIP:

A common remedy to prevent sleeping on your back is to sew a tennis ball to the back of your shirt; the discomfort of sleeping on the ball will prevent you from staying on your back.

DAY-CATION.... *FIELD TRIP*

It's been about a week since I've last blogged. NOT because I haven't had much to say.. I just get sidetracked sometimes. Voices In My Head speak so loud sometimes and they yell at me to go in so many different directions... Figured I'd sit still and have a woooosssaahh moment! So, what's been up on your end? It's hump day in the city and this week is taking FOREVER to go by. Maybe because I FINALLY have plans for the weekend other than too much work. I want an instant rewind of last weekend.
I hung out with my grandmother and was a biiiiggg kid. I had cereal for dinner and watched cartoons and infommercials while laying under her thick crocheted blanket.
Made it a DAY-CATION..... Simple get aways inside of hectic schedules.
When your days start running together and funds are low limiting the places you can go.. find ways to enjoy the simple things... A nice book... a good movie.. old school game night or just a NAP to recharge your batteries. It's gonna be a hectic year! Find ways to keep your sanity where it needs to be... Find ways to keep a smile in your heart... it will reflect on your face... How do you plan to spend your DAY-CATION?! *FIELD TRIP*

OMG, OMG, OMG

OMG.....

5 days into the new year and I know I said I wouldn't make a New Year's Resolution... Who was I kidding??!!!??
I had a convo with my Hun that sparked a flame and raised the bar of expectation in 2010.
*DARNdarn darn*
I was told that "you NEVER stay the same. You either get better or get worse."
Not a new statement but those friendly reminders to slap you in the mouth is just like "OKAY, OKAY I'M READY! LET'S ROLL."
It's amazing how people can inspire you without even knowing it. Just observation of seeing someone being consistant and persistant in their own journey towards their personal mark of success may spark a flame in someone watching from a distance.
My grandfather, the late Rev. Jessie Lafayette, Sr. use to always tell me "Faith without works is dead." Pawpaw, I haven't forgotten. I still have faith the size of a mustard seed and believe I can move mountains and am praying for the strength to climb the mountains that may appear as obstacles but are only there for me to appreciate the view after taking the journey to the peak.
My personal obstacles, may not be your personal obstacles.. My struggles may not be your struggles... but one thing is for sure... We all have'em.
It's all in *how you handle them , that will determine if they handle you!*
Buckle up and enjoy the ride....
It's gonna be a long year... full of hard work and dedication like never before.
All the good and bad... I'm leaving in the past... Believing that God will mount me on wings of an eagle and take me to higher grounds. I believe the same for you... I sure hope you realize the only thing between you and your goal.... Is your fear of letting go and letting God do what He said he would do IF you trust Him....
Okay, I'm almost finished with work... I have to go get my oil changed, hit a meeting, hit the gym and get my nails done... "WHAT? I TOLD YOU SELF ENHANCEMENT WAS MY NEW YEAR'S RESOULTION"....

*POOF*
homework assignment: youtube "Let Go, Let God"
I love the song... and it's written by my boy PJ Morton

I'll Let You Decide....

My New Year's resolution is simple....
Usually it's the normal "get rid of 10pounds".... "make more money"....blah, blah, blah...
This year is another level of self-enhancement... Difference is YOU play a key factor in MY self-enhancement.
God sends people into your life for a season. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy some more than others.
I'm beyond the point of asking "Why people act the way they do!" I'm int the mind set of "IIWII"...."IT IS WHAT IT IS".... I can't change the way you choose to act... I have to accept that you can't change those who don't see flaws in their ways but points out glitches in everyone else. But I tell ya this... "I won't complain about the things I allow and/or accept."
To make this a lot easier on the both of us... "I'll let YOU decide!"
Ever hold of the golden rule? "Treat people the way you want to be treated?!" Yeah, that one!
I'm taking it for face value this year and from here on out!!!! I'm going to treat you... the way you treat me.. Only with a little extra... Treat me good... I'll treat you GREAT! Treat me wrong... WRONG IDEA!!!! It takes a lot of stress off my shoulders trying to see if you like this super good treatment day in and day out... It may not be your cup of tea and eventually God will remove you from my circle... but in the mean time.... I'm going to keep this stress free as possible. I just want to be happy. I want those around me happy. I wake up and DECIDE to have a great day even when stress is at an all time high! It's hard out here for everybody... no need for me to add that extra drama in your life... UNLESS I see that's what you like... "I'll let YOU decide"...
*POOF*

I'm here...But I'm not!!!!

It's the MONDAY after teh MADNESS!!!
Had a few days off for Christmas and I must say it was nice. Two days straight I woke up late!! 8a.m. and it wasn't half bad!
Now that I'm back at work bright and early things are flowing well. I'm as UP as I'm gonna be. It's safe to say "I'm here... but I'm not!"
Reading the news and saw an article that Kim Kardashian gets paid $10,000 for every endorsed tweet she sends out. WTH is THAT about?! I'm in the wrong business.... WHAT is she famous for again?! *snaps fingers* That's right... Ray J's putting his broads up on G-A-M-E.... SMH
"IIWII".... It Is What It Is....
Did you get the chance to watch those sorry games yesterday?? I know they say on any given day any team has a chance to win.... BUT UUUMMNNN.... The Saints and Giants were in the same mind frame as me "I'm here... but I'm not...."
Saints lost to the Bucs? And in over time!? After having a lead? I should have known something was up when they scored first!!!! NNNNNOOOOO!!!!
And who played for the Giants?! I won't even go into that thrashing.....
At least my Patriots and Steelers pulled it off....
I had a blast holding down Major Topics for my godfather Constable Brown yesterday...
