Changes...

Hello my friends!

Please follow me and change my link to the following:


http://supahwomanadayinthelifeof.blogspot.com/

Why you ask? Well if ya know me and been following me for sometime, you know that I have had a rough year, and I figure a new start would be good.

Becuase my pc takes forever, it took me a minute to get it all together! LOL!
But anyhow, for my 1st post I set you up with a dose of entertainment..especially for you Rochelle as you said you loooved those! I got you!

Not your Grandmas Phonebook they say...

CHECK THIS SITE OUT!

Remove yourself from this site....kinda scary...I went and saw my info...most was not correct but, nevertheless it was there.

Little bit of this and that....

Hello my Blogger friends and to the unfriends!

I am really irritated as to why I get junk comments! Just random off the wall advertisements...does anyone know why? Is it because my blog appeared to be abandonned?

Its been lookin a little abandoned for many reasons that I wont even bore you with.
Lets just say, I am SO very happy and blessed to be alive..and breath another day.

Last Friday I lost a great great uncle that I loved dearly and the same day, learned of my coworkers death due to a fatal crash on the 15fwy (known as the fwy that gets you to Vegas).
Anyhow....it just reminds me suddenly we can be here one minute and gone the next.

Yesterday was a great day in church...we had a visiting pastor from Haiti and a few other clergy men attended with him, it was moving and powerful.

It is sad..because its funny how the media chooses to report only the casualties, the sad things, the ruins. But what we aren't seeing is the unity that this country has yet after this devastating earthquake. Do you know the Haitians attend church everyday....their Wednesday is like our Sunday. The pastor that was visiting, says crowds just come from nowhere...big crowds. They are praising and worshiping from sun up to sun down...LITERALLY! They are dancing in the street as if nothing ever happened. They are so RICH with hope its ridiculous...it makes me just say, wow.

My bible is in car but I will bring it in the house tomorrow...to share some words he shared with us...very strong and powerful.

Anyway, just wanted to say hey to all my cyber friends, let you all know I am still breathing.
I have neglected you and I am sorry! Life changes man...I tell you!

All I can do is try harder!

XOXO!
Ciao for now!

Like Ice Cube Said..."Today Was a Good Day!"

Last night we had a little girls night at my house, some cousins and some really good friends came through. I felt like a chef yesterday... =) I started off with breakfast for a really good friend.. Cajun Turkey and Cheese Omelets were off the chain! Cooked lots of food for my girls night...we had: Spaghetti Casserole, Chicken Enchiladas & Cheese Enchiladas (specially made for my girl Azeb), meatballs and salad. There was a host of other items...dips, veggies, etc.

Cousin Monique made some pretty good "Pink Panties" with a twist. I forget what she calls the drink with the twist...it was good though!!! I think everyone agreed and thats real! Thanks cousin! Here are a few pics from last night...

Janice, Cousin Tyee & Alondra

This morning I woke up to this....

What I saw was BEAUTIFUL!!!! This view is from my parking lot at home...heading North on Milliken looks even better! Yes, I am making a big deal because I am in Southern Cali...and its rare we get to see things like this! So yeah...it was nice seeing this view first thing this morning!

Cousin Monique spent the night which was great! She hung around to especially see little Miss Breanna do her 1st gymnastics class. She helped take some photos which was cool.

So everyone's question is how did she do? Wellllll.....my first instinct was to ask if I could get my money back! The little girl pretty much had her own agenda. She wouldn't stand up, she had jelly legs, she wouldn't pay attention and wouldn't even look at her coach.

My cousin told me I did a very good job at my gymnastics class...lol. Ima' get my moneys worth that's for sure! LOL! Bre's trippin! She better get with it!

After her gym class...I met up with Rochelle, Alondra, Marie and Melissa for some scrappin! It was great. We went to our new location in Mira Loma that Rochelle hooked up for us. Thanks Rochelle! We had a good time as usual!

They Said it Was Coming...

Well the "Big Storm" is finally here! It is raining as we speak...I hear the rain over Little Bill (cartoon on Nick Jr.). I am soo glad it finally got here, cuz I was starting to be a little embarrassed of my filthy car. I refused to wash it though since the rain was coming through!
Listening to the rain....my goodness....simple things like this we seem to take advantage of. Me and my mom were in the car today speaking about the tragedies taking place in Haiti. My mom said, "I am so glad we have what we have here in our world." I agreed and we continued to discuss how we complain about alot about our world, what we have and what we don't have. I proceeded to tell her how sad it is that we take SO many things for granted here...

Anyway...the reason I mentioned this was because WE tend to take things for granted. Simple things like being able to even listen to the sweet sound of rain...

Anyway...my weekend was good.
Saturday me and Alondra drove to the OC to the expo, it was ok. We got a little moded, thought we were gonna scrap but the crop was sold out. I always buy my tickets online, Alondra says she has never had a problem buying at the door. SO...I was like ok, I will buy at the door. NOT! Wasn't happening! We met sister Rochelle up there and the 3 of us hung out in the OC. We had lunch at some spot...it was not the business...I actually asked for my money back. But we had a good time in there, I think we spent like 3 hours in there. We had some serious girl talk.

While having the girl talk time, I thought to myself! Hmph! Girls night! Friday night, my house, beverages, food, good music and most of all good company! Can't wait!

This morning woke up for church it was great as usual. After church I had to face my mountain of laundry...6 loads...just made no sense..its just me and Bre! LOL! Oh well...it got done! Thank God mommy lets me come over and hook it up!

After laundry was done, we went out to eat, me, mommy and Bre. We had a good dinner, nice and full.

Tomorrow I am off in honor of the great MLK....hopefully I can catch the parade on TV in the morning. Missing the parade we use to have in the hood. What is the real reason it was removed? Sucks...

Well peeps...talk to yall lata!

Holla at ya girl!

Tricia
XOXO

I am Back!

Up and running...getting ready for a take off!
Now I will finally have a fair chance to stay on top of this blog!

Right now...I am about to go lay down because I am not feeling well...have a very nasty cough and I am cramping! Ugh! The dynamic duo!

Dr. prescribed me cough syrup with codeine...so somebody please check on me to make sure I didn't overdose! Codeine is not my friend!

Let me see if I can find some entertainement news for you to hold you over...

Ciao!

Its Always Something...

Just when I think I am gonna be back on track with my blog....something always happens. My pc has been out of order for a minute, more than a month, was using moms, but now hers is trippin.

So...hopefully I will be back up and running soon!

Love yall and miss ya too! Stay tuned!

Tricia

Happy New Year!!!

Okay...well, sheesh...I mean I really let my blog go!

2009 was just NOT THE BUSINESS!!! So many things happened, life changing events, some good and some definitely not so good. But I do recall God saying that he will never give me nothing I can't handle!

So with that...today is a new day! It is January 1st, 2010 baby!


Today I started my day off in the best way possible! First thanking the Lord for another day, another year! Second...WhoGivesaScrap had their first crop of the year! It was great! Tons of food, and oh my gosh! The laughs and jokes! Some ladies finally were able to put faces with screen names...some ladies were new and met some of us for the first time!


Shout out to the attending ladies:
Lisa
Marie
Rachel
Robin - Unable to get photo =(
Melissa
Jennifer - Unable to get photo =(
Alondra
Elia
Michelle
Charon

We had a good time!

Resolutions...my dad asked me last night what my resolutions were. I told him I didn't make any. Why? Because most the time I don't accomplish what I have set out to accomplish. What I will be doin is just taking one day at a time.


But thinking of it more, I do need to set some personal goals. Yeah...I guess they can be resolutions. Like to hear them? Here they go!

• Continue to grow closer to God!
• Decrease my debt and increase my savings! Spiritually & Financially!
• Create some saving method for possibly buying a new house, although me and Bre are pretty content in our new place. Lovin Rancho!
• Tone up my arms...bye bye Oprah arm!!!...tone my legs too!
• Spend more time with Bre, more quality time. She has gymnastics I signed her up for beginning in mid month so that should be fun!
• Join a book club
• Try to not let the things I cannot change bother me.

Okay...so there you have it. I am positive I can accomplish those!

I will also attempt to give a better effort in updating my blog. Maybe this will be the year I can print up all my post and make something out of it! So I will try my best to post frequently. If it is very short...don't trip. If it is lengthy...print it and take it to the toilet!

****Just had a flashback of Jennifer's husbands pulled pork he provided for us today! Off the chain! Good lookin out Jennifer!***

I had soooo much food, sugar and laughs I HONESTLY think I blacked out for a minute. It was quite scary..all the sudden I got dizzy and my head started to spin. I had to close my eyes..and pray I didn't have to cut my crop time short and someone elses cuz they would have had to leave and take me to the hospital! But I snapped out of it!

Happy New Years!!!

XOXO

Tricia...AKA Scrapgurl78

My Final Stages...

Taking it one step at a time..

SHOCK & DENIAL..CHECK!

Did I react in disbelief? Yes!
Did I deny the reality to avoid the pain I was about to go through? Yes!

PAIN & GUILT....CHECK!
My shock wore off....the tears dried...and was in unbelievable pain. How could someone you thought you knew do such a thing?
I could not escape the pain....well at least I didn't resort to any drugs or alcohol. =) I'm still good...

I began to check myself. What did I do? Did I make this happen? Sure...I will be the first to say...there is no such thing as a perfect marriage, but damn, I mean we did take vows.

How can I save this marriage?
Life was really chaotic for a brief moment and very scary. However...I have to remind myself...that GOD is on my side.

ANGER & BARGAINING....CHHHHEEEECKKK!!!!
Frustration gave way to anger! Yall I was doin things that I wouldn't even think I would do...completely out of my character. But you know sometimes love will make you do some crazy things.

DEPRESSION, REFLECTION, LONELINESS...not sure I was at a state of Depression...my mama wouldn't allow that mess. Reflection, YES! Loneliness? Umm..maybe a little.

Just when I think I am getting back on track, he does some silly crap, just immature crap that makes me that much more angry! And really wanting me to get on with this...and do what I gotta do! I am rally trying to deal with this...I have my good days and most definitely have my bad days.

THE UPWARD TURN....this is what I am looking forward to. As you start to adjust to my new life without the man I have had by my side HALF my life, I am hoping things become calmer and more organized. I am hoping that my physical symptoms lessen, and my blah attitude begin to lift slightly.

RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH....looking forward to this too! Looking forward to not letting his silly butt bother me anymore. As I become more functional I hope my mind starts to work again in ways it did before. I intend to find myself seeking realistic solutions to problems brought forth with this huge life changing moment. I will begin to focus harder on my beautiful little girl, myself, and reconstructing myself as a whole.

ACCEPTANCE & HOPE....With GOD I know there is hope! I expect nothing more..nothing less! I do realize that everything is in Gods hands and he will carry me through this nasty mud. Carry me Lord....I know you will never give me nothing I cannot handle, that's what YOU said...and I trust in you and believe in you. Make it happen captain!

I will once again have good times and make new memories. This little girl keeps me going each and every day, her smile and little laugh embraces my soul in every way imaginable. Thank you GOD for giving me something out of this loss.

I will get through this...I know I will.

My "Coming out Post"

Well...I wasn't exactly sure when I would be comfortable speaking on this...but as you know I have been MIA.

Reason being is I am currently going through a separation. It has truly been TOUGH! This aint to easy thing. My world has literally been flipped upside down.

BUT....the GREATEST thing about this is that...I have faith in GOD and that he will lead me to where I need to be. He will give me guidance in where I need to be. He will cover me with his shield and protect me and my baby girl at ALL times. That I DO have faith in.

I have literally been a mess...losing weight and all. Not because I want to but because of my nerves have been a wreck on top of my anxiety. So..I will turn that into something positive as a jump start to the new me!

The new me will be focusing on me and my baby girl. Going through this is tough, but has also has taught me things that I need to work on. Challenges I face will only teach me to become a stronger woman.

I want to THANK all of my family and friends that have been there for me and have comforted me in my time of need...Some people may ask why I may be sharing this information, well you should know me one way or another if you visit my blog. I am not any scrap superstar or anything, and I don't really have just random people visiting my blog. You must know me if you are reading.. =)

Me and Bre are doing fine...it will just take some time to heal, thats all. We will be fine.

All I ask is that you continue to to pray for my strength! All of this has forced me to take a look at myself. It is teaching me alot for the future.

I love you and if you were wondering...I am still alive... =)
Tryna get back on track all the way around.

Love Always,
Tricia

Coming Back with Words of Wisdom...

Written By Regina Brett of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90000 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone...
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret,you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful,beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.
Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special..
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did
or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd
grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Celebrating Life...

If you don't know me by now I like to celebrate birthdays. Well these pics were taking during Alondras surprise birthday celebration. Rochelle swung by and picked Alondra up at home and brought her to BC's Cafe where we all met up for breakfast. After getting super stuffed..we took her on a small shopping spree to some surrounding scrap stores, we actually ended up traveling to more than planned....We started off at Scrappin Good Times in San Dimas, then took the girls to Scrap N Yap for the first time, then to another store in Monrovia, forgot the name of it...

After the stores, we topped it off at Baskin Robbins..yummo!

Yvette, Tricia, Alondra, Rochelle

Birthday girl blowing out her candle...

(don't you just love the hats by the way!?)

Me & Alondra...

We tease Alondra about those boots....we call them her "sexy" boots...we aren't sure where she thought she was going, but she was really trying to show us out! LOL!

Rochelle BUSTED in indulging in her ice cream...

Me & Yvette =)... (Today is Yvettes bday..HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTA!)

Man I wish I had some of this RIGHT NOW!

The girlz....Rochelle, Yvette, Alondra, Tricia and Valerie

Tricia & Valerie

Happy New Years!

Just wanted to say Happy New Years to all my friends out there!!! I have been away for a while and I intend to get back on top of things. =)

SO much has been going on...the end of the year was extremely rough for me while not only losing my nana but about 9 days later my daughter lost another great grandmother....just really tough times.

SO..anyway...I was anticipating a new year to begin, JUMPING out of 2008 and gliding into 2009..real slow. =) I started my 1st Sunday off in CHURCH and communion so that was great. After church me and one of my best scrap buds came back and did The Biggest Loser Cardio DVD. The ORIGINAL plan was to walk a mountain here in town called "Little Mountain" Cars do drive on it, but unfortunately there are no sidewalks...Why are you asking? Well it is a good physical challenge to start our year off. We talked and talked and talked about it last year and just never got around to doing it.

So last weekend at a crop one of our other scrap friends kinda tried to put us on blast, questioning to what happened to Little Mountain...and like yeah right...you aren't gonna do it! The HELL WE WEREN'T! LOL! So we set it for today but...it became extremely windy over night! So...that is why we did the DVD instead. We will shoot for next Sunday!
I will try and post a pic of the mountain and the view later.

So anyway...I have a lot of things I wish to accomplish this year to name a few:

• Putting God first
• Focus on my marriage
• Pay off 3 credit cards (which I already did one!)
• Travel SOMEWHERE this year as a family
• Do some things with my home, like painting and taking a stab at making over some rooms
• Get my scrap room together
• GO TO THE DENTIST....Im scared yall!
• Eat healthier
• Try and scrap more

So anyway...speaking of eating healthier..I weighed in this morning and I have lost almost 20 pounds...which is good for me. Yahooo....I have never weighed this in a long time...and no I am not posting the numbers!

LOL!

I am also hoping to do this 365 photo challenge for the year...I need to post my pics!

**Can anybody give me some suggestions on how to keep track of the pics you take and how you stored them, etc.? I need some pointers... I think what I have in mind is making a folder on the computer specifically for this challenge.

Anyway...Reggie has something planned for us today, not quite sure what, but I hope its something fun!

Talk to you guys later!

Ciao!

XOXO

Counting the Days...

WhoGivesaScrap is about to embark on our first annual retreat! I am beyond excited, because I so need this time, to just get away right now! There will be 8 of us and I am so excited! Thanks to the ladies who have said OKAY to spend whats about to be a WILD AND CRAZY weekend!!! LOL!

We have found a place in Escondido called San Diego Scrap Inn...looks really nice, so I will deifnately give a recap next week!!!


Other news on a sour note...one of my favorite, excuse me....ANOTHER one of my favorites,
It's About Time is officially closing their doors I believe on Thursday..don't quote me...but you can check it out. Of course Jennfier has already been down there and says they didn't have too much good stuff left, but of course she didn't leave empty handed! =) Jennifer...like you need any extra stuff! I wish the store owner luck on her future endeavors...


Man what tough times...

YES WE DID!!!!!!!!

Wow....I am SO extremely overwhelmed and just excited with pride and joy of this historical moment!!!! YES WE CAN!!!! YES WE DID!!!!

As me and Reggie went to the polls yesterday, I just felt a sense of awe...as I saw SO many young citizens of our country walk out proud, smiling. We have broken records today!!!! While watching tonight...Oprah mentioned something that is SO true....I have not felt such a huge sense of unity since 9/11. So many people have come out and voted.

I am looking forward to my daughter Breanna learning about her first African American President. WOW...did I just say that!? I am so happy and proud!!!! Obama worked very hard and I am anticipating some serious CHANGE!!!

My prayers and thoughts continue to go out to the Obama family as his grandmother is smiling down on her grandson right now!!!

Damn...we made history right now....and I am here to see it. How much more emotional this all be?

Truly amazing! And now we must pray for his safety....

Whewww!!! I can't even say it was a close call! I was watching those numbers! I can't even say that! Obama was pretty much kickin butt all night...Oh...AND STILL IS!!!!

As of right now 333 to 155...he only needed 270 to win! Wow...Still kickin butt! Simply amazing!

Did I see "Reverend Jackson crying?" What a hypocrite!!!!

They Smile in Your Face....

Backstabba's....famous song written by the Ojays...

This is for you girlfriend and you know who you are... I have learned a long time ago that there are going to be people out there who will hate on you for what you have and what they can't or will never have. So people decide to attack in a malicious nasty type of manner....very tasteless and childish. Its so sad...

Why do they smile in your face? Don't worry my friend, I think we all have some of those out there....People have some really funny ways...If you don't like me just don't talk to me at all...and don't smile in my face. It will just make it easier for you and for me! ...I'M JUST SAYIN! LOL! It can be that simple!

As I have gotten older, I now understand what my mom would always say to me...."Baby, not everyone is gonna be your friend." And now I see this...people won't like you because of who you are and what they aren't and who they aren't. People will quickly smile in your face one minute and as soon as you turn that corner they are talking down...

So...to my friend....KEEP YOUR HEAD UP....AND STAY STRONG!!!! I know your mama taught you and told you the same thing! Unfortunately, our world is FULL of HATERS and envious people...it's so sad but oh so true. This situation has been bothering me for some time because I hate to see the people I love hurt to much...and just confused as to why we encounter people like this...some things we will just never understand! All I can say to you is continue to be yourself, be true to who YOU are, and keep it pushin! Keep doin YOU! Tell the haters to kick rocks, pop your collar and BRUSH THEM SHOULD'AS OFF!!!!!

I love you girlfriend..you know who you are...

And don't ask me who I am talkin about in this post....is it you??? Don't be shady people!!!! LOL!

Ahhh...Love Life! Life is too short!!!

May Be Old to You, But its New To Me!

And I am so glad we purchased it....

My poor hubby has worked almost 80 hours this past week and he rewarded himself (us) with the Wii Game System...(and a few accessories and games!) I guess he has finished putting it together as I here Mario Kart....he just ran in with a big Kool Aid smile.. "BABE! You have got to come try this! You have got to come try this!!!!" I told him I will as soon as I finish posting... I am dog tired...I cooked greens this evening as it was a request from my nana, but you know those suckers take forever to cook!!! Unless you cheat and buy them by the bag!

***Today was officially her first day of chemo...so it was an exhausting day for her.

Anyway...where was I? Back to the Wii...Thanks to my very good friend Laurie for talking about it quite often, and THEN here comes one of my Scrappin Sistas to tell me she went out and found one...and was up ALL NIGHT LONG!!! So...with all this talk I had to do my best in talking Reg into possibly checking it out., I personally wanted to check it out for the Wii Fit since that is the hype and I hear how well it works..so we will see! I will tell you the truth when I feel the results! ....(Now I hear..."YES!!!! YOU SUCKERRRRRSSS!!!!!!). Wow...I guess I better hold to my word and go check it out!

Ciao!

Here's to a Wonderful Week!

TGIF!!!

Good Morning my wonderful friends out there who read my blog! Are you as happy as I am that today is Friday? After a hard week at work, I am glad it is the weekend. I walked out my front door this morning to go to work only to find that it had been raining! I obviously have not had time to check the news for the forecast...so it was a little unexpected. Well since the last rain last weekend, I have finally located my umbrella so I am good.

What am I doin this weekend? Well to kick it off tonight me and my scrappin sistas are scrappin at my house and having dinner. We try and rotate houses and whoever is hosting, feeds us. Sounds cool right? So I am cooking my sistas some tacos tonight...one of my most favorite meals! I seriously am thinking I was Hispanic in my prior life....I LOVE MEXIACN FOOD!!! If you know me personally you already know this about me!

Saturday, debating on whether or not to drive up to the new Super Target that has a grand opening, but do I really feel like dealing with the crowds? Probably not! So I will find something to do, you know me!

Sunday, I finally get to spend some quality time with my hubby as he has been working some SERIOUS overtime for about 2 1/2 weeks now, working almost 80 hours a week....not the regular! BUT on the other hand...we could definately use the extra money...so he is off Sunday & Monday and promised he would not call in so we could spend some time as a family...I am off on Monday too... (Thanks Columbus!)

I was thinking about going to Old Town Pasadena and walk...I hear they have a Tiffany store down there now, I need to get my bracelet fixed! I miss wearing it...I really hate that it is just sitting in my jewely box! I need to polish it matter of fact to make it POP! =)

Other than that....I plan to try and relax, enjoy life and taking it easy....

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend as well!

Signing off....Trisha Delisha (as my Blinging Babes call me...shout out to you ladies who read my blog faithfully) =)

CIAO!
