Not so Friendly Day Spa

So my mama and sister decided to beautify me ( I am already cute they just thought some minor enhancements would be fun) for my birthday/Christmas gifts. I really appreciate it mom and Candice. Ok I got my nails done, this is a first for me, I got a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed. Now the full set and pedicure should have been more fun, but it wasn't. My mom booked us an appointment at Millennium Nail and Day Spa ( yeah I said the place check it out may be they will treat you better). Now this is not usually where my mom gets her nails done, she just booked it because they had more people on staff and we would not have a long wait since it was three of us. Now I was excited because I was suppose to get a full set,pedicure and get my eyebrows arched( Mind you my first time for all of these things and it was New Year's eve. I wanted to look nice going into the new year) My nails were fine. The guy that did them was cool. The pedicure was great ummmm a massage and nail shape up ummmmmm I will definitely be doing that again. Well I guess you are like what's the problem. The front desk service was awful. I didn't get my eyebrows done because when I asked when was I schedule she was like your not and kinda left it like that, didn't ask any additional questions or even smile and say she would check. She was very cold. The spa experience was cold and unfriendly but the service was pretty good. My sister said she has had a better pedicure before. Later on the lady said I was booked and she didn't look in the right place my mama was like don't worry about it. They were so unfriendly. I even heard them talk about another lady after she left and they were kinda rude to the nail techs. I am not going back there again. I thought spas were suppose to make you feel like you are a queen or something and you are suppose to be pampered and treated super nice.Despite the unfriendliness I had a fun time with my mom and sister they are great fun. Glad my sister was here for the pedicure and girls day out, it was awesome. Apparently I am the only one that hasn't had this done.Look at me with nails!

Goodbye 2009! HELLO 2010!!!!!!

Hey and Happy New year folks. I tried to make a post before the new year but hey... I didn't.
So pressing on to the new year. Yea! Well I still have other stuff that went on to blog about but they will come in later post, right now I must recap the lessons( very hard lessons) learned in 2009.

Lesson 1. This one is a big one and I had to really recover from it.
{ Most things are as they seem. Some times answers and realizations are right there in front of your face and since it is not what we want or what we think it should be, we stay in a state of denial. Sometimes the thing you are seeing about a situation or a person or a job or anything is actually what it is. Nothing more or nothing less.}

Lesson 2. Fear is dangerous. Reacting out of fear can damage relationships, friendships and hinder you from fulfilling some task that God has assign you. There are people out there that won't get the blessing they need if you are reacting out of fear because they need you to be fearless or to do it afraid.

Lesson3. Your life and life decisions directly affect some one else's life. It's not all about you. You might be but in a situation or a place to help some one and not for your own personal comfort. Sometimes if you are comfortable you are not paying attention to the ones around you that are uncomfortable. God wants us to help one another but we have to pay attention. Sometimes when we are out of our comfort zone can we really relate and help others.

Lesson4. Chill out! Ok thing do go bad but you can't react like a manic every time it does. I think that is the difference in immaturity and maturity how we respond in situations that life those at us.

Lesson 5. Get out of my head. I have like a dream world of how things should be with out looking at what is really going on. I am positive and generally optimistic but sometimes I think I am not applying it to the real situation in front of me. I think I stay and live to much in the dream world in my head. Apply the positive attitude to the real situations.

Lesson 6. Look at myself first. Ummmmmmmm Yeah this one stings a lot, but sometimes the problem is me and I need to learn to except that first before real change can happen or sometimes I am apart of the problems and I need to take responsibility for my part.

Lesson 7. Love Hard. ( Let me be specific. I don't mean fall in love hard, just love hard) If you love others hard all the issues you are dealing with might not seem so bad or some one will love you hard and help you with your issues as you have loved and help some one else.

Lesson8. Pray about everything, cause Jesus hears it them and delivers. Don't be afraid to pray big. Hey He can handle it.



Yep I learned more but I feel these made a huge impact.
Now some positives.


Positives 1. If you need a friend be a friend. I think I heard Charles Stanley say it. It makes since to me.

Positive 2. No matter how bad the day before was if you get the opportunity to see the next day Rejoice that the opportunity to make it better was granted to you, because some had a bad day and didn't see the next one.

Positive 3. Enjoy the journey. It's the fun part. When you reach the destination you will remember the journey so enjoy it.

Positive 4. If you are a Christian Jesus loves and covers you everyday. Things that could go way wrong don't and things that could go really bad never get that bad. If you are not a Christian Jesus loves you too. He died for you too! Come on over to the tent of Christ he will cover you too!

Positive 5. "Your circumstances may be uncongenial, but they shall not remain so if you only perceive an ideal and strive to reach it. You cannot travel within and stand still without." James Allen

Positive 6. The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try and the faith to believe that it is possible. Richard M. DeVos

Positive 7. “The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.”


Well that's all I got.

Heeeeeeeeeeeey

Why is the Air Condition on in my Office?

Ok I have to blog about this. I work at one of the local Universities in Tallahassee. ( I will not name this university but if you have been keeping up with me you know where I work) Why in the world has the AIR CONDITIONER been on the since winter started. Can I tell you it has been below 30 at least two or three weeks and the heat has been on twice during this time. Oh not to mention the heat was on full blast on a unreasonably hot day. IT's winter time KEEP THE HEAT ON! So as I am writing this I am getting ticked off. My hands are cold and it's like no one wants to do anything about it. EVERYONE IS COLD! Tell me it doesn't suck walking up the hill in 30 degree weather only to arrive in the same cold conditions in your office and you force to sit there for at least 8 hours. You call and they act like you are complaining. This really annoys me I hope everyone else's office is warm.

This is the first Annual HBCU ( Historically Black College and Universities)Bowl and I think Russell athletics is hosting it so maybe I can find out where the are showing and link to that. So until then, Go MEAC!!!!

Learn through Discipline

Image found here

I forgot to share this yesterday. It's a scriptures from Christ notes that was the daily verse from yesterday. Still relevant! It Blessed me and gave me joy I hope it does the same for you. I read the article that the picture was from it was very enlightening. Eyeopening! Here is part of it:

I didn’t like it growing up, and I don’t like it now! I’m talking about discipline. Discipline is never fun and you can’t see its benefit when you are in the middle of it. The same is true with the discipline of God. If we don’t understand certain aspects of God’s discipline, an attitude of bitterness and anger will define our lives....
you can read the rest here

Christ Notes:

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews 12:11
