I want to move to London. I have this overwhelming urge to do so out of no where and it's not going away. how very weird.

Happy Halloween

2007-11-01T02:25:25Z

So my halloween is actually a little scary. I am currently riding out a tropical Storm (thats one step down from a hurricane for those of you not savvy on storm lingo) There is gale force winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms and all around uncertainty of what will actually happen to this storm. Where will it go? Will it strengthen? Will I have tomorrow off from work?

His big debut

2007-08-30T03:31:39Z

Hey everyone!

Barely 24 hrs old he is making his debut on the www. This is my nephew Omari. I am sure 125,837,048 will follow this one, but this is the first. Maybe next time i'll be lucky to catch him when he's awake.

Happy Birthday X 2

2007-08-29T04:43:28Z

Today many new things happeed. I did my first lockup of the branch from a power position. I was late on my daily reports that need to be in by three p.m they got done b five. Oh yeah and i became a first time aunt!!!! Today my nephew was born. Today was also his father's birthday. so next year myis will have one very special day to plan for.

You should see him, Omari Shane Stewart. He is a handsome little prince all puffed cheeked and alert. I love him more than words can express. He is perfect. Not in the commercial sense of the word but in the he is everything i hoped for in a newphew perfect. I already have such great plans for him.

My sister is doing well. Her labour lasted for more than 12 hours and for the last three she rang blood curdling screams through the halls of the hospital. She was a trooper though and seven lbs 3three ounces later it was all worth it.

I am exhausted so i can only imagine how she feels. I wanted to get pictured but he was whisked away to one of those baby warmers in the nursery. more tomorrow....

This is me...

2007-07-28T22:30:26Z

I do not ususally post pictures of myself on the internet for a few reasons. 1 i just dont have the time. I have no better excuse than this because i now have the great digital camera and the scanner i'm just lazy. so if you wanna see a pic the best to go with is something already on my computer. 2. I must admit i dont always like the way i photograph. I think im pretty i just dont think it always translates to picture. My nose flares in what i feel is an unflattering way when i smile, i have really high cheekbones so when i smile really big it can make my eyes appear closed. and lastly, there are crazy people on the internet. but i figure i have seen a picture of all of you so i guess it is only fair that i return the favor. so this is me. I think its an ok pic even if the stupid robe makes me look like i weigh 200 pounds. you can see the nose flare thing but its not so bad i guess. I think i look good for not having a stitch of makeup on. (before someone asks whay arent you wearing makeup on your grad day. I have a thing about makeup. you have to have time to apply it correctly and most times especially in the morning i feel that time is best spent sleeping. Plus i have really good skin so no need to cover blemishes)

I don't know how accurate i think this quiz is about my personality. The questions either made you sound like some damsel who always needs someone to help her do things; Some clingly dame who needs to be told she is special every hour on the hour or hugs on the half hour; Or some heifer who is in it for the gifts.

I still think thats aout 38% too much

I bought this huge really powerful notebook computer for myself last year and i feel like i'm not doing enough. I want to do more with it but i dont have the time or energy. I'm supposed to upgrade to Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 in April so hopefully after that i can start using this puppy for futhering my start-up and organiziing myself better

good day

2007-01-07T01:46:30Z

Had my first spa visit of 2007 and it was so good. I am meant to be wealthy because i like being catered to just a little too much. The hands and feet look amazing and are getting very close to summer ready. Which if you lived in this neck of the woods will be in about six weeks or so or maybe even tomorrow the way the weatther has been acting around here.

I saw dreamgirls tonight and i have to say overall i liked it. Eddie was funny Jamie Foxx made a good hustler/snake/ asshole Jennifer Hudson can SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG her butt off! and Beyonce was very pretty but replaceable. You could have stuck any R&B actress who is pretty and can read in there and you wouldnt have known the difference. She was okay but she didnt do anything that made you go wow.

all in all a really good day cuz i feel so relaxed...

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In January I bought porn for shani84 (10 points). In March I gave wildgurl a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points). In July I pushed dinesha in the mud (-17 points). In October on a flight to Bangladesh, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). Last month I caught a purse-snatcher who stole laughingid's purse (30 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-22 points). For Christmas I deserve a moldy sandwich!

Sincerely,
blaquebutterfli

If you see him or read from him wish him the Happiest Birthday!!!

2006-11-19T04:20:06Z

I am a bad person and hopefully my lj sweetie will forgive me (and hopefully a soft spot for naughty girls) Sam the Man!!! Samweeety!!! Samtastic, Papi, mi amigo, dah-ling!!! I would just love to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!! I'm late but the feelings are there none the less. One frosted cupcake from Swiss Patisserie with a birthday candle has been lit and eaten in your name.

So happy birthday to the guy who always puts a smile on my face. May you live to enjoy many more

I finally took the Gucci watch my mother gave me to be repaired today. I was praying that it wouldnt have to be repaired in Switzerland. I didnt want to have to wait that long or pay for such costly repairs. Luckily all that it needed was a new battery and the band to be changed and voila new life to now vintage Gucci watch

Challenge

I am taking a new approach to fitness i am adding technolgy to the mix. I am now nike+. I got a pair of Nike+ shoes for 110 dollars and the new ipod kit for about 30 and am using this program to help me with my running. It does a good job of tracking calories burned, miles jogged and fitness levels. Hopefully I can get really good using this programme. I also started downloading workouts to my ipod from itrain.com. I am currently doing the boxing program. I learned how to throw a prpoer right cross today. I also downloaded the iSTRETCH program which is a combination of yoga, pilates and breathing exercises.

I may be doing a couple of updates on how this is going from time to time.

Sept 23 weekend

2006-09-24T23:23:19Z

Yesterday was my mommy's birthday. She turned 52. Its funny that at the start of my life she was only 27 years old, only two years older than i will be this year. I am a lifetime ago. She got presents and a big pink birthday cake from 3S (the same place I got Monny's cake from) I figured while i had an in I would make multiple orders. They also make a coconut wheat bread that is just to die for, but I digress. My mommy's birthday was good but not great. There is something that she wants but i can't give it to her. She is a little sad that this coming December will be the last one that she can keep her family as a whole. My sister is getting married in a December and moving out. She is an eternal nurturer so this is hitting her hard and i am under the imprssion that she is trying to put it out of her mind but as the time grows closer this is becoming more difficult. It has made me wonder what this time next year will be like for her.

Yesterday was also my company's picnic. I got there late, late as in it was officially over and I only stayed for a half hour and then our time on the grounds was officially up. I met this guy. I forgot his name but he knew mine and where i worked and what department i worked in. He was at my particular bank once he came for some sort of training seminar and it was not even in my department. Kind of weird. He seems like a nice enough guy but like i said i cannot even remember his name.

I cannot wait only two days until Monny's birthday!!! I cant wait to see the look on his face.

Well off to iron for the week. I am still considering hiring an ironing lady. No one can imagine how much i hate this chore.
