Good evening to all of my beautiful people that make up this unique planet. Today was just another ORDINARY day for me at job #1. I left around 3:20pm and headed out to North West Plaza to checkout a place called 24 Hour Fitness. Earlier today I called a childhood friend of mine who happens to be a personal trainer. When I last spoke to her, she was a trainer at New Lady Fitness. I hadn't talked to her in a while so I prayed her phone number was still the same. I called, she answered. We talked for about 5 minutes and she told me she now worked at 24 Hour Fitness and how much she enjoyed it. I told her what my goals were and she told me I should stop by. I told her I would try to and thanked her for the info.
Shortly afterwards I called the Customer Service number and spoke with someone at the Desk, who would have someone give me a call back. Sure enough a couple of hours later someone by the name of Nick gave me a call back but I missed his phonecall. After getting off from work, I went to 24 Hour Fitness and the first person I saw thru the door was Maria;) She introduced me to Nick and he explained to me the whole setup of the place, how much it would cost, the equipment, the workout classes and how I could have a personal trainer. I was definitely interested by the end of our conversation. So i took some info Nick gave me and told him I would be back soon to start and signup.
It was getting close to 6pm and i had to jet from their to Harrah's Casino, for a birthday bash for my mom. I get there around 6:05pm and see my Aunt Alice in the Lobby. She was going to spend the night and had just checked into her hotel room. I accompined her to her room which was just simply off the chain. Boy when you are a Diamond Player you definitely get the perks, but I know you have to fork over some serious cash though to get to that limit. 10 minutes later we are in the Lobby meeting up with the rest of my family as well as my Uncle Jack, Aunt Charolotte, uncle Fred, Aunt Mary, and 2 other friends of the family.
We head up to the buffet and eat our fill. Me being a good girl just ate some baked chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, and some beef and brocolii (sorry can't spell for shit). After eating my mom reads her cards and collects her money. We then go back downstairs to the casino area and I was about to go home, when my sister decided she wanted me to come with her while she played some BlackJack. NOW for me, I'm not too fond of the casino, I don't like to go but WILL go just to have a peace of mind when my mom is wants to go. So I follow my sis to a blackjack table and she drops $40 bucks to start off. i'm lookin at her like......okay..... Now for me I have an issue of spending money and there being a RISK factor that I might not win anything back. That is just not my style.
Well she loses that money QUICK! We spot our dad coming into the casino with my uncle Jack, aka his older brother. He gives us both $20's and off again to another BlackJack table. I orignally just want to watch but my sis and the dealer talk me into playing. the dealer was real cool and was helping me trying to teach me the game. Eventually I lost my money but Diahanna was doing pretty good. I was alternating between watching her and watching the Mizzou/Kansas Basketball game. Which was great because Mizzou pulled thru in Overtime and won. Eventually Diahanna stopped playing and I told her I would see her at home. Shortly aftwards within 20 minutes of walking thru the door the rest of my family comes thru and now were are settled into a respective parts of the house. I am in my room, my sister is occuping the main bathroom with cellphone to her shoulder talking while probably having a curling iron trying to style her hair, dad is in the family room watching tv and my mom is probably dosed off in the master bedroom.
So to all, have a good night and pleasant dreams;)

EYE SPY WITH MY OWN EYES
Payday is always a good day, unless you have bills to pay which is pretty much anyone these days. I went to job #1 yesterday (FRIDAY MORNING) pretty early i would say 6:30am and left around 3:15pm. I decided earlier that day to do get an annual eye exam, especially since I had new frames and needed an updated prescription so I can get the lens filled. For the past 5 + years i have been -2.50 in both eyes. I went thru the eye exam with the technican with no problems at all, being able to read the bottom line of the eye chart with no problem at all.
She then escorts me to the main room where the Dr. will see me and perform some dialation test on me. AFter about 5 minutes, he finally comes in. He introduces himself and we begin the eye exam. I had to take off my glasses and look thru that weird machine which adjusts your vision. When he was done he told me that there was a bit of a change. he told me that my right eye had gone to -2.25. I was like HUH? I didn't feel any different and thought my prescription should stay the same. I wasn't too pleased, but still listened to the dr.
Then he tells me he is going to put this solution in my eyes. He puts it in and i close my eye for a couple of minutes. When I open them back up I don't feel anything at first. he then takes me back outside to pay my bill ($10, insurance is SUCH a nice thing) I sit down and wait for the stuff to take affect, 20 minutes or so. After a while the light in the whole store (LENS CRAFTERS, Saint Louis Galleria) is starting to become more intense. The dr. takes me back into his office and proceeds to do this dilation test. He says i free and clear of any eye disease and that I'm good to go. I get a copy of my prescription and i'm on my way. Before I left I spoke with a salesman and told him of my interest in new pair of frames that they have and wanted to know if they would also be caring the same color as their LENSCRATERS, Crestwood Store.
They are made by EMMANUEL UNGARO, Model: UG 4552, in at least 6 different colors and believe or not I want at least 5 of the colors. The colors are:
-7252 (Green/Rose)
-7088 (Crystal)
-7249 (Rose)
-7250 (Deep Aqua)
-7251 (Don't know the name of this color)
With the frame and bridge measurements to be 52/16 135
Been looking online to see if any sites carry at a more affordable price but haven't had much luck. So do me a favor. Keep an eye out for me and if you should come across some cheaper than $150 bucks, prefer any under $100. Drop a sista a message, email, a text message (msjazz79@tmomail.net) and let a sista KNOW PLEASE!!!
Anyway, after leaving LENSCRAFTERS my sight is still a tad bit blurry and I swear Im seeing double. I walk around to some of the stores before leaving and going home. Well I get home and just happen to look in the mirror. I swear I yelled and backed up, hit my head up against the wall because the eyes that were staring back at me thru the mirror, I know couldn't be mine. They looked way to CREEPY to be mine. Apparently the solution the dr. put in my eyes had opened up my pupil HUGE. I looked like Golem's cousin from Lord of the Rings, minus the pale icky skin and the hair loss. I just stared in fascination at my eyes for a good 10 - 15 minutes (yes I know at this time you are thinking MAN she does not have a life, and i'm like MAN I so agree. lolol) So I tried to take pictures of it but they all came out blurry so I'm pissed, it would have made for an excellent blog pic.
So now we fast forward to Saturday Afternoon where I am just chillin on my bed with a laptop and I'm looking at my T.V. which is on mute so I can concentrate on this post.Ii have work this evening till 10pm. So most likely I will take in a movie if i'm not too tired, hook up with a friend, or just go home and zonk out. So have a good day and stay safe.

From the City with the 2am DownTown Curfew (Yea Im talkin bout the Lou)
(MAINLY FOR THOSE WITH YAHOO 360) Greetings to all, just wanna say good evening to you all and I hope you are having a great night. I just wanna let you know AGAIN:) How much I appreciate the messages and friends invites that I have received these past couple of weeks. I wish YAHOO would PLEASE up the limit of Friends to UNLIMITED!!!!! I don't think I'm asking for much do you;) Anyway I've been trying to respond to every IM that I receive but again I'm still coming up a brick wall sometimes when it comes to responding to people, stating I'm can't write a reply back ARRGGGGG so to those who have written to me in these past couple of days again I'm sorry for this technical difficulty I'm definitely not ignoring you, I just can't reach you. Unless u post something as a response in a blog and then at least I can read it and reply back to ya there.
As far this week has gone since my last post. Well I don't remember. lol. I've been to work and have finally decided to start taking control of my weight issues and changed my eating habits this past week. I started to keep a journal to write down everything I eat everyday. It's not easy but I keep a copy of it with me in my purse as well as one at work. I'm gonna start walking again at Creve Couer Park. I also want to get back into playing sports. Something easy at first like tennis and then who knows. It's not easy and any suggestions are more than welcomed. I think I will make this my main resolution for the year.
As far family and friends, both groups are doing well. I felt bad this morning because one of my good friends texted me 2am and told me he wished I would call him more often. So around 8am I gave him a call and told him I was sorry. I realize that I probably have been neglacting my friends in one way or another. Yet I find it hard to have time to myself so I can just let my brain breathe, ya know? I talked to my girl Kaiysha from Florida, mother to my godchild. We talked for maybe 5 minutes and then I went to job #2 to get some stuff, saw Jonathan there and he told me Kamina had been by and had taken Danielle home. Then went to the Saint Louis Mills and did some shopping. Finally came home around 10pm, and I'm just got finished watching FAMILY GUY on the Cartoon Network channel. I just LOVE cartoons and I'm not ashamed to say that. In fact I'll be honest with ya. I would be more impressed if I guy bought me THE COMPLETE FARSIDE collection rather than a dozen roses. Yea I know I'm mental but what can I say? If I was normal I'd be boring...wouldn't I?

DeJa Vu is a mutha
For those who are from Saint Louis, MO. I know you have heard about this story for the past week. What I find so strange about this is, that:
1. My sister knew him, since he was security guard and bouncer for a club called PLUSH, in downtown Saint Louis.
2. I saw him myself less than a 2 weeks ago at the Bridgeton Applebee's with Chingy and his entourage. i just remember looking at him and thinking damn that's a big guy. I wouldn't want to tango with HIM.
Chingy's former bodyguard recently murdered his girlfriend and their 7-year-old son before killing himself, police said.
According to reports, three bodies were discovered in an apartment in the University City suburb of St. Louis. The victims were later identified as Michael Cannon, 34; Kim Charleston, 34; and Michael Cannon Jr., 7. Cannon aka Big Mike had previously worked security for Chingy.
Cannon and Charleston reportedly weren't married but lived together for approximately 12 years. Authorities wouldn't reveal what the killings' motive may have been. Charleston's two other children live with their father.
Mario Cannon, Michael's brother, said Big Mike phoned him at around 2:04 a.m. the day of the incident. He said it was unusual for his brother to call late, adding that he didn't answer the phone.

Baby Showers;) Dont ya feel the luv?
Today I had work at job #2 from 11am to 6pm. Unfortunatley since I came home late last night from dropping off a coworker and not getting my own behind in bed by 1am, I just HAPPEN to oversleep.....oh by say 15ish or 20ish minutes PAST 11am. So needless to say my behind didn't get to work till 11:45am. I then get to work and it's been relatively slow all day long. Luckly I have Danielle there to pass the time with and we just chill out. She clocked out at 5pm. Joe clocked in by 4:15pm, so luckly I didn't have to close today. I'm really happy because this week we started going back to our regular work hours. AMEN
Well after work I go to a baby shower for one of my cousins. I arrive around 6:40pm. See my mom, sister, my cousin andy and his sister Angelina whom the baby shower is being thrown for. Not to mention other people as well, some of them being my sister and Angelina high school friends. By the time I arrived they had already eaten and were finishing up open the baby presents. I just copped a squat in a chair in the corner and chilled out with my cousin Andy. We were joking back and forth, just enjoying the atmosphere.
When my Aunt Jessie, Andy and Angelina's mom, decides to recall a story from Andy's childhood. Apparently when Andy was 8 years old, he had a puppy. Well his mom told him don't bring the puppy inside the house because it will "poop" all over the place. Well one day while his mom wasn't home, he decided he would bring his puppy in the house. Well the puppy went "poop" that day and whad-ya know, my Aunt Jessie had just pulled up in the driveway.
My cousin being OH SO SMART;) decides to get a DISH TOWEL and use it to clean up the dog's mess. Well all would have been fine and dandy if he hadn't thrown the towel back up on the TABLE!! So at this time after he has cleaned up all the "evidence" my auntie comes thru the door and she had bought some chicken for the family to eat. Well she get some chicken grease on her lips and chin. Do you know that she picked up the towel that was on the table. WIPED HER FACE, sniffed it, sniffed it again, and just zeroed in on my cousin, Andy. She told him he had to go pick the switch she whooped him with. lol To add to the laughter he states he saw her go for the towel and just covered his face and was like "uh-oh". So needless to say, no dogs have been let in the house since then.
After a while, people started to leave and soon after my mother and I made our exit. My sister came home later and we are now offically done with putting all the Christmas Decorations back into their storage containers. I hope your Sunday evening was just as pleasant;) Ta-Ta
