YAY! I am a huge fan of Monica. I'm talking since 1992 when Miss Thang came out. Monica has just release her album cover to her highly anticipated album, Still Standing. She looks absolutely gorgeous. I will be buying this CD come March 23rd.

I'm Just Sayin.....

Ok before I start my rant let me just make it clear I love the company I work for (which will remain unnamed. This is the internet. Even "private" blogs aren't really private).

I live in Ohio and right now snow is up to my knees (and I'm 5'9) and still coming down. How on god's green earth do they expect me to come into work. Yesterday I attempted to move my car and guess what!? It got stuck. Ok so maybe that isn't surprising. But how about the garbage truck got stuck on my street as well. And they have about 10 wheels! So I call in and tell my wonderful company what happened and let them know I highly doubt I will be coming in. I wake up today and guess what!? Once again this fabulous company I work for expects to come in.

A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. ONLY TRAVEL IN AN EMERGENCY. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL... KEEP AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT... FOOD... AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

That is an excerpt from The Weather Channel's winter storm warning. Umm I don't think work counts as an emergency. But I guess my lovely company cares more about meeting their goals then their employees. Ok so what's going to happen to those goals when all of there employees are in the hospital because of the car accident they got in trying to get to work because we can't afford to lose our jobs because the economy is so bad........

Nefertiti

Posted by Rion at 6:06 PM 0 comments

So anyone that knows me knows I am hardly ever seen without a book in my hand, purse, desk....some where nearby. I love to read and will read just about anything. So recently during one of my many Target excursions I came across a book entitled Nefertiti. I'm really into Ancient Egypt (I promise I have some Egyptian in me). So I bought the book . This is my first time reading historical fiction and I must say I am impressed.

There are a few of words and terms used that I'm not familiar with so of course I turned to my trusty friend Google (he never disappoints me). Turns out Nefertiti has a really interesting history.

Nefertiti is known for her beauty. The picture above is highly recognizable but I personally never knew who it actually was. She was King Amenophis Great Royal Wife (main chick). Unlike most "Queens" who kinda played it cool and stayed in the background, Nefertiti made her presence known and actually played a major part in many of the decisions the King made.

Nefertiti and her husband played a major role in changing Egyptian religion from worshipping many gods to one god (or something like that). Because of this they had many enemies and rumor has it when she died Egyptians mutated her body to make sure she never "lives" again.....haters. Anyways Nefertiti is responsible for double ear piercing! Who knew. Ok I'm done with the history lesson. Now back to your regularly scheduled program......

Kelis: The Pink Avatar

Posted by Rion at 3:57 PM 0 comments

So I'm doing my daily celeb gossip update and I run across this pic of Kelis:

When I first looked at her I was like WTF! She looks completely crazy BUT the more I looked at it the more I kinda liked it.....just a little. Kelis is known for her unique fashion sense:

And it has always worked for her. I personally love her style. I call her the original Rihanna. But anyhoo back to her outfit.....

The jumpsuit is very Amber Rose-ish. The crown is very Lady Gaga-ish, but if she took off the chains, eyelashes, and cut that rattail off, the outfit could work.

So they say that boots are made for walking, but between the months of January-March, that is the last thing I want to do in my boots. See in Ohio winter means snow and snow means salt and salt means stains on my boots!

It's so ugly! But thankfully there are ways to remove the stains here is an article from ehow with step by step directions:

Changing My Major

Posted by Rion at 9:37 PM 0 comments

So I started school this week after a much needed 6 week break. However over the break I got to thinking about my career choices and realized I was not happy with my major. It all came about when I was filling out my application to actually get into the Social Work program. One of the essay's I had to write was on the reasons why I want to be a social worker. And don't you know I could not think of 1 reason! I googled and I still could not think of anything! And writing is my speciality. I can write a 500 word essay in an hour.

So I knew I needed to change my major. The thing is I've changed it 3 times before so I felt like a loser. I took the situation to my home girls and GUESS WHAT!? They googled and found out that the average student changes their major 3-6 times! That made me feel so much better (leave it to your BFF's right). So I went ahead and scheduled an appointment with an advisor and found out that most of my classes will work also apply towards a Psychology degree....so I did it. I changed my major yet again. But I'm very happy with my decision and pray that this time next year I will not have doubts about psychology.
