What A FuNked Up Week!

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you wish you could just ball it up and throw it in the trash?  I WANT A DO-OVER!  This past week absolutley sucked!  Work is stupid!  We are doing an AWESOME job and have been called on the carpet as a group for something stupid and irrelavent...told to play nice when we already do.  Sometimes I wonder if Mgmt does that to make people get frustrated and want to move on!  Well, it has come this close (*snap*) to working for me!  I am already frustrated at the lack of opportunities here.  Almost three years here with no evaluations, one pay raise, no true promotions, tons of nepotism, lots of backtracking and butt kissing (something that is not my style).  It is at the point this week that I am thinking back 15 years and wishing I had joined the military!  Darn that Marine recruiter for not being just a little more persuasive!  If he had put as much effort into recruiting me as he did hitting on me and my roommate, things could have been a lot different.  DOGGONE!  Maybe it is time to start thinking about relocating again!  I know in earlier posts I mentioned moving to the west coast but due to some changes in my family (which I will not go into here), that would not be a good idea. 

My next big event for my promotions company has been pushed from October 15 to FEBRUARY!  My web designer has disappeared off the face of the earth and I am stressed beyond belief!  I have a October 15 deadline for my sponsors or they are pulling their backing.  Anyone who knows me will tell you that I usually let things roll off me like water on a duck's back but this is stuck in my craw! (Along with many other things).

My personal life sucks!  I had met a guy online, thought things were great, but things are on hold.  Our plans to meet face to face are not working out.  His job is getting crazy so he will be working more cutting into the time we could meet.  I sure hope it is not all a lie.  If that is the case, I am glad I didn't meet him.  If it is not, I hope God knocks me over the head with some patience...and quick!  I still don't know why I was even trying something long distance...I know it has never worked before...but SHOOT nothing local as worked out so far or else I would not be single still! Sad thing is this seems like it could be a good thing.  I had even tried to move to the area where he is and that was before I met him but that has not worked out either! 

Alright - enough whining! :)  This is Moment One/Step One for the path to good, no GREAT things!  I know there is something great right around the corner and I graciously accept it!  It may involve people and things already in my life and I accept how much better it all is about to be!  I welcome that wonderful love that I have searched for for all of my life.  I welcome that beautiful sofa that will end my 4 year quest! :)  I welcome that new house for me and mine to live in wonderful brillant happiness in.  I welcome that brand new Gray GMC Envoy that wants to be parked in my garage!  I welcome the great health and job opportunities that want to flood my life!  Starting now, I am no longer defeated!  I am merely steps away from the awesome things my path holds! 

I guess it is time to "Get Ta Steppin'"   

Spotting Greg Austin....

So many folks have emailed me or talked to me about Greg Austin and how beautiful the "Long Distance Lovers" song is that I decided to post the tour information that I have for him for through the middle of October.  If you are in SC, you are in luck!    I will try to remember to update this in another post in a couple of weeks!

Moving On...

I know it has taken me more than two years but I am finally able to say I am letting go of my ex.  Recently, I have posted about how much I still missed him.  Now I know it was not Pete that I was missing but some of the ways I felt with him.  Thing was, it was all a lie.  I was feeling it but he wasn't even when he said he did.  But that is ok.  So just in case he is reading this, I want to say to him:

Pete,

I know you obviously did not know how hurtful it is to play with someone else's heart and feelings.  I want to believe that if you did, you would not have allowed yourself to do some of the things you did.  My greatest wish is that you are never hurt as much as you hurt me.  I pray that when you find the person you think is the love of your life, that she doesn't walk on your heart like it is a worn out door mat.  At this point in my life, I know that I cannot openly receive my true love or recognize my true soulmate as long as I am harboring any resentment for you.  Never will I regret standing beside you and supporting you even when you weren't there.  I am glad I was the bridge that carried you across those valleys you encountered while we were together.  I am proud to know that I am capable of being the person you really needed, even if you did not realize it or appreciate it.  I do wish you love so that one day you will know what to give back to someone who loves you.  Because of you, I have a better understanding of that and I am ready to give it back to someone who truly loves me, too.  So, I close not only this message but also your part of my life because I am ready to receive the great things that await me and I am ....

Moving On.

You are what?????

You know I never realized it until recently that I have been shocking a few folks that see my profile.  You see the name - DivaForWhitePrince...you see my love for country music - since I think Tim McGraw and Toby Keith are both delicious! LOL!  With all that...folks don't know I am African American!  LOL!  Too Funny!  I guess I forgot to add that to my profile over to the left!  Guess I had better do that! See the majority of the Yahoo Groups I belong to are for white men who date black women so I guessed that the visitors to my blog were from there....Oops!  Guess I will go change my profile now!  Haha!   

Yeah I Am A Country Girl!

It is so funny to me now.  All my formative years while Grandma force-fed me a Hee-Haw diet on Saturday nights, I TOTALLY hated Country music!  I often thought that if I had to listen to one more Charlie Pride, George Jones or (Grandma's Favorite) Roy Acuff song, every ounce of my pigmentation would just fall off me!  LOL!  Since I have been an adult, I have developed a taste for country music.  Tim McGraw (my personal favorite), Toby Keith (yes I have a thing for stocky cowboys, too), Keith Urban (when he talks, his accent throws me off! LOL!) and Lonestar are a few of the artists I have been listening to lately.  That is until today!  Many of you who visit my blog know me from YahooGroups that I belong to.  While checking out the members list to one of those groups tonight, I ran across a country music artist that belongs to the group as well.  His name is Greg Austin and he has a great song for those who have found love online or have a loved one that is far away from you.  If you like country music, take a moment to listen to Long Distance Lovers.  WHy don't you take a minute and let me know what you think of his song. Email me!
