First DAY!

Ok, so I'm completely new at this blogging thing. I don't typically share my thoughts on anything with the Internet world, and can't positively say that I've become completely comfortable with the idea just yet. But, as a "fresh as ever" graduate of the Syracuse University class of 2009, without a job, I figured I'd give a few things a try. A new hairstyle, a workout plan, organizing and CLEANING my childhood room, and blogging. So, this is it. I just write, and maybe someone will read it. Interesting. Well, it's 12:38, my best friend is at home, my boo-friend (story may be shared at a later date when I know ya'll) is sleep in Syracuse, and I'm up, watching Cold Case, thinking about what it is I need to do tomorrow. I really don't HAVE to do anything, being that I'm jobless and all. However, what typically takes place is that I wake up, get on Monster.com, and start applying for jobs, wondering if people are even seeing the MOST impressive resume and cover letter that I'm sending in. Something will come, I have faith. Well, after applying to jobs, I usually watch a few of my stories, aka Judge Mathis, People's Court, etc. Then I go to the gym. This is something that I just started being that I have time for it now. Being President of my chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Innnccccorporated (yes, I had to do it; it won't happen again) was so much work. Between that, work, and school (not to mention the gospel choir I abandoned), I was running all over the place. Now that I don't have anything to do, I feel like I'm falling apart. So going to the gym is helping me. It helps me think when I'm running, not to mention my ipod is poppin and you can also watch TV while you're exercising. Sweet :). Well usually I leave the gym and come home for some law and order and some phone time with my boo-friend... followed by a whole bunch of nothing. I think tomorrow my day will include cleaning, being that I have to sleep on the floor tonight because of the "organizing" that I started today.

Oh yes and tomorrow will be my hair day too... busy busy. These braids have to go. I'm in need of an upgrade. I feel like I look like a cross between a girls' basketball coach and a high school student, which I am neither. So the Hawaiian Silky will be getting slapped on this head of mine followed by some creation that I think of. I should get my cosmetology license. I don't like to toot my own horn, but... toot. I do hair on the side, at least I know black hair dressers will always be in demand. Even though I'm boycotting the hair dresser. Too much money for something I can usually do myself and better. I only used to like going for the whole experience... not anymore. Times are hard, and hair costs enough without adding an additional price for a service charge.

I guess this is the first night of many. Another episode of Cold Case is getting ready to start, although I should take my booty to bed. I promised my boo-friend I would wake him up at 5 in the morning... mmm no Cold Case is calling. That phone call will take all of 30 seconds and then I can close my eyes again. Goodnight ladies!
