Free as a Bird....

Today I felt free as bird because I decided to rent a bike and go riding on the Silver Comet Trail. It was an impulse decision but I've contemplated it before on more than one occassion. Ok so I walked in past all the cool looking cycles and asked how much to rent a bike? The man kindly told me it would be 10 bucks for the regular comfort bike and upwards of 16 per hour for the space age, athletic bikes so I opted for the 10 dollar one. I gave them my cc information and off in the wind I went. I have to admit I was a bit wobbly on it at first as I hadn't rode a bike in years but I quickly adjusted and was speeding past the walking folks. I felt like a kid again with the wind beneath my wings and listening to the nature surrounding me. Ahhhh I felt a sense of serenity.

Silence is Golden

Silence is defintely golden. I find myself taking a mental vacation these days and retreating in the dark corners of my mind for some blissful silence. It is hard to find peace and serenity in a world filled with noise from the cars driving by with their loud music or motors, children playing and laughing in the streets, alarms blarring from firetrucks and ambulances, horns honking, the radio playing in the car or someone's voice in conversation. I have so much on my mind these days and I need a mental vacation.

Shhhhhhh!

Salsa Time!!...aye! aye!

I had the most fun this weekend hanging out with my college friends at Columbus 72 Nightclub in the city! This sophisticated club featured the latest hip-hop, r&b, and pop music on one side, and then the hottest, (ok like I know whats hot latin music!, lol...hey it sounded hot to me:) Latin music on the other! We began the night on the hip-hop side, but I knew we wouldnt stay there for long since 2 out of 4 of us were of Spanish heritage....so off to the other we went! Now, Im not one to brag, but I have dabbled in a Salsa lesson here and there, he he he. I think I impressed myself, dancing, swaying, spinning, and dipping all in my 4 inch leopard stilletos! But that lasted all of about 1 hour!!, lol...I thought I was doing something too!, lol...I cant hang like I used to! We got there at 11pm, on the dot mind you....and by like 1:30am we were heading for the dinner!!, lol....man....the life of an almost (30) year old!

Check it Out!

GAGA for Lady GaGa!!!

A woman with style is my kind of woman! Hot on the scene right now, I am absolutely L.O.V.I.N.G Lady GaGa!! Not only is her albulm hot, but so is she! With expressive and bold lyrics, catchy hooks, and "dance" beats galore, "The Fame" is definitely one albulm I will be downloading onto my ipod. I listented to "p p p poker face, p p poker face" like 10 times on my commute to work this morning, and it surely put a pep in my step! But not only have I become a fan of her music, I love her style too. Just as she says what she wants in her lyrics, she also wears what she wants too! Not afraid "to go there" makes her edgy and unique. She has a style all her own, that I dont think too many will dare to emmulate...

...im GaGa for Lady GaGa!!:)

Fab Finds at Forever 21

So I just love these dresses from Forever 21. I want to add a few more to my arsenal for the spring and summer seasons. There is nothing sexier on a woman in the spring/summer than a chic dress and some fly shoes.  I also love the casual look of some fashion jeans and a cute graphic tee topped off with accessories and of course The Shoe!

Tummy Time

Ok I was just browsing online and saw a pic of an old college friend with great abs. I mean not an ounce of fat in her midsection and she has a little bit of curves too. So I said to myself damn it! I have to get it together. There is no reason why I shouldn't have abs like the woman in the picture and starting today I'm going to get on a plan to get my abs tight and right! lol After all, what's stopping me? I can still eat good but not as much and exercise is key. I think I can do it and there's no time like the present. Summer is just around the bend and I want to look nice in my clothes.

Military may be the way to go!

I have been considering joining the military recently as a civilian officer. The pay grade is out of this world and the benefits are incomparable plus I would be able to retire before I'm 50 years old! Wow! The only thing that kills me is that I would have to wear a stinking uniform. yuck lol I'd have to save my fashionista wardrobe til the weekends or after work. I think I will speak with a recruiter this coming week and find out more about it. I don't want to make a hasty decision but just using this time of unemployment as a means to reinvent myself and to come out better than I was before!

Ageless Beauty

Ok so I'm driving along to the subdivison just now and as I passed this young thug on the sidewalk I thought to myself now he really needs a make over! I was laughing at him to myself while he bopped down the street in his oversized clothing and fake chain thinking that he is tough or something. lol I looked up in my rearview mirror to see him throwing up his hands as if he thought my stare was a look of lust or something and he wanted to signal to me to holler at him. lmao Then as I entered the first street I passed two more young and impressionable high school males who eyed me til I pulled up in the driveway. One of them shouted out hey you must be about 18 huh lol I blushed and yelled back "um no" and he said well you look like it. Well that just made my day! I sure hope he wasn't lying lol
