Super heroes live in Tulsa

Dunt, dun, da dun!!!!

They came unexpectedly, in a big black mobular device.
She is tired, yet understands that they are a team and without her support he is nothing!

So she shall not sleep!

He says nothing, except for,"It ain't nothin major."
Which causes me to really, really die laughing inside, while thinking, "When did he start saying that...especially so frequently?"

*note to self, "Must learn more about this person."

We talk about the beetle blues.

I decided on May 15, 2008 that I would become independent. He decided otherwise.

I smiled really big inside.

They unhitched lil purple and hitched up old yella and drove off into...highway 45.

I wanted to cry, but I was really just speechless. My parents are rockstars, the whole world should have parent-envy for me.

This Shit is Crazy!

Today I was blessed enough to turn 23.

Today, I encountered 3 MAJOR CHALLENGES!

I refuse to sit here and share with the world the details of my agony and self-pity. However, I must say that the precedent that was set by this mornings events did not ferry well with the day that I was born. In other words, I was AFRAID to leave the house today for fear of what the rest of this day may bring.

So, this is where all the motivational speeches I've heard over time come in. And the "words of wisdom" I've given those close to me in dire time of need.

Man, the crazy thing is. I kept giving myself positive affirmations!

Despite incident #1 I chose to keep a calm attitude toward the enemy who was trying to stop me from achieving what is deservedly mine!

Despite incident #2 I chose to put on my birthday dress and glam up my look just so when people say, "You all dressed up," I can say, "It's my birthday."

BY incident #3 I chose to call my superman and cry while talking, you know like, "What's...snifle, snifle...the number?" and yell at tow truck drivers and anyone else who chose to look at me with curiosity. "OMG! Have you never seen a girl in such a cute dress on the side of the Katy Freeway, next to a smoking beetle, crying and clueless?"

Those were my thoughts.

My actions were similar. Those who KNOW me, I'm sure you've painted an amusing picture.

I'm 23. Daddy is tired, daddy should be able to retire soon. Daddy is not a mechanic!

I'm 23. School is no longer a crutch. Excuses just suck and life is just life.

I'm 23. And I've been over self-pity a long time ago. It's just not attractive.

Happy Birthday, to ME!

We Danced the Weekend Away

I know that I am insanely in love with my family because before they were even in town, I was saddened by the thought of them having to leave me again.
My family came into town for my graduation. They drove hours to see lil ole me walk across that stage. They cleaned my house, made a videography about my life, cooked, and just went out of their way to make sure that I had a lovely weekend. All just for lil ole me.
I found myself getting irritated by some of the little messes (usually made by daddy) and I laughed at how everyone tried to hide their messes because they know "the rules," as termed by my mom.
But I say this from the bottom of my heart that I would rather have their messes and throw out "the rules," just to be in their presence for one minute longer.
I would love for daddy to get oil on everything he touched, mommy to rummage through my wardrobe, and everyone else to just take over my house, if it meant that I could spend one more precious moment with my amazing family.
Words cannot express the ways in which my family has shaped me into the person that I am. My family has always believed in me and I live to make them proud.
My family has shown me how to be charismatic and outgoing, but all in good taste. The women in my family have shown me what it means to be a lady, but to be modest about your beauty. They've shown me how to be vulnerable without loosing your self-respect. The men in my family have shown me what exactly a man should exemplify. For that, I am grateful because I now know what I can have in a relationship.
It is the best feeling in the world to be loved, I thank my family for teaching me that early. My life has been driven by love.
I just want to thank my family, the Perry's and the Minor's for loving me so much. For allowing me to make decisions and trusting my decisions. For not allowing me to start "feeling myself to much," and ensuring that I stay humble.
I am certainly transitioning right now and I thank you for being proud of my accomplishments, and never making me feel pressured.
I thank God for you. I am truly blessed.
