I WROTE MY FIRST CHILDREN'S BOOK!!
(ok so it's a class assignment, but it's going to be published like a real book!)
It's called "Mahal Kita!" I wrote it about my brother & I growing up together and our mean, but soft-loving sides. It's been a great 15 yrs with him. I love & miss him.

I spent this past wkend in Des Moines, Iowa for a bball tourney that didn't go so well. Yea everyone wants to win, but honestly our team is a lot better than those that we lost to by 15 & 2 pts. I made some stupid foul decisions in the last minute of the game to put them up by 2 so it is hard to take in when you know it was you. I bet it was because I didnt have Erika taking stats! (jk) I can't wait until we gel together and start actually playing the game to where other teams are worried about us. Missouri Valley College doesn't get respect in the women's area so in my 3rd yr, I'm ready to gain it. It was a great team bonding experience outside the gym tho! IT'S BASKETBALL SEASON!!! grab the pom-poms, stat sheets, posters and even throw the fan bus in there! ;)

On October 27, my roomie Jasmine & I went to KC to watch Naco defend his 2 undefeated fights in ultimate fighting. He was the main event of the night. I've seen homeboy train for this and his family and high school homeboys came up from Oklahoma to watch along w/ his girlfriend, her wonderful roommate ;) his sigma frat brothers and other ppls from our college. Much support for him. He won unanomously in 3 rounds. I'm pretty sure I lost my voice yelling "thousand watts!" I must admit I am kind of into fighting (not personally) but it's entertainment after awhile. It was followed by an after party at the hotel and us all eating at The Waffle House at 2 am, but I'll admit I'll never drive back to Marshall that late ever again cause I could hardly stay awake! (EEEEEK..) CONGRATS NACO ON 3-0 FIGHTS!! you're a champ homeboy!

Another weekend that I wished would have never ended. 3J finally stepped on my stomping grounds and got be in my shoes for a bit here at my college, there is finally a greater connection there. Even if he received dirty looks from people on campus from time to time, made me late for morning practice or put me through the BS of his actions...we are back on the right foot. A reality check is very important and something that we all need now and again. Just a heads up to my homegirls, even though he doesn't agree w/ this...I will be wearing no shoes, the theme color is babyblue and there will be no typical isle song! Just a heads up. ;)
*he wakes up with a smile/winks at me/holds my hand/writes me little notes/sings to me his fav. songs/tells nai he loves me/lets me sit in his lap/shares his food/doesn't just let me win in basketball/kisses me/stays up at night to talk even though he's tired/just stares into my eyes/takes goofy pictures/watches Sex & The City with me/rubs my feet/dances in the car/remembers everything about us in HS/goes on walks around town/can pluck my eyebrows/tries to wear my shoes....he's wonderful!*

Denver is one of my new hotspots. I had a great time spending it with 3J cause I def. missed him. Being with him allowed me to step into his shoes and live a little piece of his life through basketball, home life and friendships. It's nice to have known him all these years, all the more fun. I feel like I'm 15 again-just a lil more adultish this time. When I visit, I look past the gunshots at night, non-English speaking neighbors and random weather changes...it's GREAT! Only a few more days & I get my last dose of him til' next year. Erika do you like to be spoon fed icu creamu?? haha. Kim, FL is still on my list of places to visit!

I attended my first rodeo event last weekend and I had a blast, got into the spirit of it all w/ my very own cowgirl hat & pigtails. The closer we sat to the show, the stronger the poopers smelled. Did you know that horses do their droppings as their galloping? It's as if it's nothing to them. It was nice to see elders, lil ones, and families together with their belts and cowboy hats; you could def. tell who is associated with the country. So cute! This is a wkend event, but one night was good enough for me. With all the different events, it was hard to watch at times because of 'animal cruelity'. I couldn't slam a calf down and tie them up in time, watch them run around handicapped and then scare them away?? That is a no no and why this is a one-a-few-times event!

I just want to R&R-'relax&rest'
Practice is so tiring, it'd be for the best.
Can't function during the day.
Staying up all night really makes me pay.
If it weren't for this, I'd end up with a scream or shout.
So big ups to Erika for this blogger thang. Peace Out!!
