I’m making an effort to not be the typical Aries by leaving a bunch of projects unfinished. I’m still setting up house here at WordPress but I thought I’d do a post so I’m going to finish the 30 day blog challenge that I started last summer.  I left off with day 24.

5 words/phrases that make you laugh

Just heard this one today from an acquaintance.

” My doctor told me I needed to lose some weight and make damn sure I don’t find it again!”

From the movie “Unforgiven”.

“You just shot an unarmed man.” Will’s slow monotone reply, ” Well he shoulda armed himself.”

Somebody did not think this all the way through.

“Slaughter & Sons” What made this funny to me is that this was the name of a funeral home. No joke.

My grandmom.

“Ironing board butt”

From the movie “As Good as it Gets”

 “Sell crazy some place else. We’re all stocked up here.”

Got some content finally!

For the past couple of hours I’ve been figuring out how to work this WordPress blog. As I mentioned in the “About” page, I learn as I do. That’s code for lots of trial and error, error and trial. lol  Anywho, I’ve moved my content from my other blog here. However, I see I’m gonna have to add the tags back so that they will fall into the categories I’ve set up for you guys that may be reading for specific content like my locs etc. And I may have to repost my pics and videos as I plan to close that blog.  That will come later as it’s almost 3:00 am and I’m tired. Shoot this is like moving in real life! 🙂

How do I hope my future will be like

Hmm, actually the answer to this is pretty much the same as Day 19’s answer which you’ll find here. To elaborate a bit more I’d like to see my urban property transformed to a sustainable oasis where I can get a large portion of my food right outside my doors. And to further expand that right in my own neighborhood with neighbors helping each other since everyone’s properties has different conditions. Some properties have more sun than others, with slightly different elevations etc that are conducive to different plants growing requirements. Basically a sustainable organic neighborhood garden so that everyone has access to nutritional food.

Food & water is a common need amongst us all and I’d really like to see neighborhoods of people of all races coming together to work toward the evolution of the human race and our planet. Also the elimination, eradication and transformation of this doctrine that man is at the top of the hierarchy with the right to exploit the natural resources and other beings on this planet. Without it there will be no future for anyone.

Your academics

My formal education consists of and associates degree in business with an additional 1 year of courses towards a BS in accounting.

Something that I miss

I so miss being able to go bike riding. Where I live now, there are no bike paths and riding on the streets will get you run slap over.

A problem that you have had

Emotional eating with sweets. I already love sweets and when I’m feeling depressed it’s one of the first things I reach for. To make matters worse I don’t just eat a little bit. I’ve gotten better at controlling this because it does not make me feel good, literally.

5 items you lust after

What I lust after are not things but a way of being.

1) I’d like to be financially secure to where I don’t have to feel bad about spending money. This is not to say I would become a spendthrift…definitely not.
2) Continuing #1, to where I can donate funds to those in need.
3) Continuing #1, to where I can share knowledge.
4) Being at peace
5) Being confident

Your fears

I fear having my back exposed. Now I’m not talking about the infamous pants that Prince wore to one of those music awards show back in the day, where the backside was cut out. What I’m referring to is me having others backs but when the chips are down, no one has my back. For those of you who have family that you can count on no matter what, you are blessed. For some of us, that is dream.

Something you always think “what if” about

To be honest, I often wonder what if, I had never gotten married (twice) and stayed single. It’s not that I’m unhappy. I just wonder if my life would have gone in the same general direction that it has taken or would I have gone down an entirely different path. Who knows?

Something you are proud of

Those of you who have been with me from my blog’s beginnings already know the answer to this question. That is getting 100% debt free (including the mortgage) in my 40th year on this planet. I wanted to accomplish that on my 40th birthday, however I achieved it exactly 2 months and 1 day after my birthday and I am extremely proud of that. June 2, 2011, marks 5 years of debt freedom.

Your zodiac/horoscope and if you think it fits your personality.


I’m a Aries Sun, Leo Moon, Virgo Ascendant or Rising Sign. Being a student of astrology, it will of course seem like I’m biased in saying this but yes, it really does fit my personality. This is what I would call the triad of an individual. Everyone is made up of more than just the Sun sign. Knowing just these three things will give you a pretty good idea of a person’s makeup and shows why people of the same Sun sign can have very different personalities.

As an Aries Sun, I am athletic, impatient and courageous, sometimes but never brash. Virgo rising tames that Aries Sun quite a bit and it’s only when you get to know me a bit, that you might suspect that I am an Aries. I can be brave, taking charge, one minute and a fretting over the details the next minute.

What you wore today.

Started out with a lime green tank top and jean shorts, then changed into another working tank top and cut off jean shorts to do a bit in the yard. After getting dirty out there, I showered and put the clean clothes I started out with back on. lol

You opinion of your body and how comfortable you are with it.

There is some improvements to be made but overall I’m comfortable with my body. This may be due to age because by the time I hit my mid 30’s and had a couple of health scares, I’ve made some basic changes that I’ve kept up with. After going back to my natural texture at 41 and locking at 42, I’m pretty much at peace with the old 45 year old bod and think I look pretty good.
