Chillaxin Saturday--NOT

Somebody told me that I don't do anything. Huh? That couldn't be farther from the truth! The truth of the matter is that even when I'm not doing anything I'm doing something. Today, for example, I made a conscience decision to chill at home, maybe clean my bedroom which is always in need of attention and, of course, do a bit of writing.

At first I was going to plug into my book project, but I decided against it. I actually have made a lot of progress on it over the last week and I'm feeling pretty good about it. It's my blogging that I needed to catch up on. Maintaining three of them--I've got to stay on top of it. As a matter of fact when I finish this post I've got to complete one of the others I was working on this morning. I intended to get a little bit more accomplished online such as creating my mailing list, updating my website, add to my blog design, etc, but I was joyfully interrupted by the company of my four nephews and neice. It was my daughter's suggestion for them to come over for a visit since we don't get many visits because we're always the ones doing the visiting. Their ages ranging from eight to six months, it goes without saying that my attention was appropriately diverted from my original intentions. Nevertheless, I'm pleased with what I managed to accomplish.: clean room, style in progress for my lovely locs, and updated blog posts.

Now I'd better stop going on and on about how good this day was so that I can finish that other blog and take my butt to bed in preparation for tomorrow. If all goes well I'll get up early enough to go to Sunday School before church.

Our Family Wedding

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Sure it was another remake of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, this time, featuring an African American man and a Mexican American woman. But it was still great. A wonderful celebration of brown skinned love! I loved Forest Whittaker's as the sexy, womanizing, single-father. I know I was byfar not the only person leaving the theater with love and marriage on my mind! Although I married the same man twice (more to come of that story in my 2nd novel Reconciliation to Hell), I never had the experience of the excitement of planning a wedding. Thank God I don't have a drama-hungry family so when I do plan my wedding, it will really be a joyful time. My previous marriage made me realize how important it is to REALLY celebrate the beginning of the marriage with a beautiful wedding, reception, and honeymoon because once that part is over, the REAL work begins.

Til next time,
