Soulmate
Soulmate - Natasha Bedingfield
Is it possible Mr. Lovable is already in my life?
Right in front of me,
Or maybe you're in disguise?
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
Who knows how to love you without being told?
Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
If there is a soulmate for everyone? - Natasha Bedingfield

Whew!
What a long week! Can't wait to get off today and start my weekend already. Don't have anything planned as of yet, but I needed some rest & relaxation.
The other day a co-worker complimented my "work attire", except that I should put on black pumps (I was wearing a navy pumps that day). And I answered, "(laughs) Honestly I really don't care what I wear here in the office (laughs again)". She said, "you should". And I replied, "(laughing hysterically) umm no, I don't care what I wear here". It's true. Well, I look decent enough, clean ironed clothes, accessories, make-up. But I'm done with buying "office clothes" anymore. Okay, once in a while I do it but I don't go overboard (like how I used to). Besides, when I "dress up" (like suits, etc.), people never fail to ask me if I am going on a job interview. LOL. I was telling this to my man and he was like, "LOL, I say the exact thing. I told them y'all don't pay me enough money to do a fashion show for y'all". LOL, I don't blame him cuz I feel the same.
Speaking of work, this year marks my 10th year anniversary (October 11th, to be exact)! I remember I was the youngest person working here, ever lol. When new employees ask me how long I've been here and I answer 9 or almost 10 years they don't believe it. They're like did you start working here when you was 13 years old? LOL I take it as a compliment haha, ain't nothing wrong with that. But anyway, when I was on Miami for vacation my manager called me asking for a copy of my latest review. I actually did not print it out cuz I'm thinking - what for? I always have great reviews, I know for sure I wouldn't last here if I am not good at what I do, correct? So anyway, she found her copy of my review at her desk and I thought that was it. She mentioned that she is endorsing me for a promotion and I'm like - thank you. I wasn't really expecting anything, as a matter of fact I forgot all about it. Then while I was writing this blog entry, she called me to her office. She was gonna make a whole speech but my co-worker, whom all 3 of us share the office together, got back from her lunch break. My manager looked at me, LOL she couldn't say anything. My co-worker already had a bad day (messing up an invoice/billings for a partner who wanted to recommend her to our boss (CFO) to get fired, SMH!) so my manager, being nice as she is just looked at me and I already know what it meant, I got promoted! Yay! Thank you Lord! This is very unexpected but I am grateful and thankful.
Count your blessings, I do!
Lost and insecure you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why you'd have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me - Fray

Her Morning Elegance
Love this song and video!
And she fights for her life
as she puts on her coat
And she fights for her life on the train
She looks at the rain
as it pours
And she fights for her life
as she goes in a store
with a thought she has caught
by a thread
she pays for the bread
and she goes?
Nobody knows - Oren Lavie

Fall For You
She's great!
I've been in love, a time or two
I've seen the world, when I'm with you
I wanna fly and spread my wings
I don't wanna cry, I wanna sing
I wanna live and take a chance
I'm not afraid to love again
I wanna fall, fall for you
And I want you to fall for me too - Nina
Depression
Has anyone taken the depression symptoms quiz from web md? Apparently I just did and the result was pretty scary. I am in the higher risk for major depression. Yikes. How ironic, I'm not in denial.
Depression strikes me most when I am alone. But I refuse to go out either. I get invitations to go out with friends for a birthday, baby shower, or just plain hanging out but I keep making up excuses. If you're one of those people, don't take it personal. It's not you, it's me.
I have a lot of shit on my plate right now. Major changes I don't wanna talk about. I will in the future. Maybe.
Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
That maybe six feet
Ain't so far down - Creed

Mundane Monday
Not really feeling okay, I wish I was in my bed taking a nap, reading a book or watching movies. This sucks.
Anyway, we celebrated (in advance) my parents' 30th wedding anniversary. Oh and it was also "meet the parents" day, LOL. Turned out pretty good, from what I can tell.
I have sooo much shit to say, but waiting for the right time. Soon.
You changed my life in a moment
And I'll never be the same again
You changed my life in a moment
And it's hard for me to understand
With a touch of your hand
In a moment of time
All my sorrow is gone - Janie Frickie
