Out with the old, In with the new..

This is something I heard quite a few times this weekend. More so being said by someone close to me. Must be their subtle way of saying it's time to move on. I couldn't agree more. I am who I am and refuse to live by someone else's standards. We all make mistakes in life, some we learn from and some we don't until it bangs us in the head time and time again. I, on the other hand, have awoken to a realization that no matter what you do in life, chances need to be taken. Life is too short to sit and wait for something to happen. I am a firm believer in following your instincts. They have never steered me wrong. I am in a place in my life where things are calm and serene. I take everyday as it comes and hold no expectations. I believe everything happens for a reason and therefore have no regrets about the decisions I make in my life. I don't need anyones approval but my own and it feels great!

There have been many times when I have made decisions or done things in my life because someone else thought it was right but then I always had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that even though they thought it was right for me, I didn't feel it was. I suffered the consequences in the end, not them. Maybe my not wanting to be the opposer or party pooper have led me to these decisions but nonetheless, they were my doing. Maybe I am not being clear right now with what it is I am trying to express and that is fine. I don't care. If I don't feel like correcting myself, that is fine also. Why? Because it is my decision not to correct it. It is my decision to not be correct in how I right. Those who don't like it can go somewhere else.
My living my life to suit someone else is over. I am finally living my life for me and it feels great!!

So to those who don't agree with me or don't have my back anymore because I decide to do things my way I say this "Out with the Old, and In with the New"...... Turning a new leaf has never felt more right than now.

Adios!

The Heat is on!!

Oh my Lordie, this weather has been super duper hot. Thank goodness for the AC I have in my room, if not I would have baked. Its not supposed to rain this weekend but you never know. Summer in NYC is so muggy....illk. People sweat and stink. You get annoyed on the train because you have to stand next to people who can't smell themselves. It's nasty I tell ya! The humidy makes your hair frizz and the makeup never stays on cause you're too busy wiping the sweat off. I miss the dry heat of New Mexico. No bad hair days at all....hehehe.

The Puerto Rican parade is this Sunday and I am sure the streets will be packed. I am passing on that and going to the beach with my son instead. We both love being at the beach. It beats staying in the city and we get to swim. Yesterday I went with my son to his HS orientation, it was nice. It is a new school with only 112 students. They have a strict dress code and honor code. I think my son will do well there. He is siked and really liked the school. There is just one thing, he has to attend summer school. He did not pass the Math Statewide therefore he needs to take it over. Oh well...so much for him wanting to travel to St. Maarten with his best friend. Education first!

On another note, I have a ride for the summer....yipeee.. My boyfriend bought a car so now I will be able to get around when necessary. I can take my son to Six Flags for his bday and get myself to my girlfriend's wedding with out a problem. We will be able to get around with ease and take road trips as well. We are siked. Now my boyfriend can drive up from Brooklyn rather than take the hour long train ride. It's a good investment.

All is well in the love dept. Things couldn't be better. I guess good things do come to those who wait. We are very happy and very in love. I wouldn't change a thing.

Work:
I took a Microsoft office seminar this week to tweak my Excel skills a bit and I am glad I did. I learned a few new tricks. Next week I take the Word course. I need to learn Mail merging. I never had to use it before but now I do.....yikes. I am sure I will enjoy as I did the Excel course. I am really considering teaching. It's something that has crossed my mind a few times but now I just really want to do it. I will be attending the workshop then I have to enroll in school again. I need to get my Bachelors...big time. Wow, there is so much I want to do. I want to write a book, be a teacher and own a business. Geez, where do I begin .....

My Rising Sign is.....

Your Rising Sign is Virgo

Well put-together and elegant, you sometimes seem standoffish. And truth be told, sometimes you do feel superior to those around you. A bit shy and introverted, you tend to stay quiet - even if you're feeling social. At parties, you can seem like you're very serious while you're having fun. You clever and ingenious, with an alert and active mind. Good at facts and figures, you excel at logical and mathematical tasks.
