Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States of America. Can you believe this?! Honestly, just thinking about what this means in depth automatically starts the waterworks. I can't even begin to describe clearly how proud I am. Proud of my country, proud of my heritage, and proud of my people. Proud of every American that decided to give hope a chance. Like I said, I can't even begin to describe how swollen my heart is with pride, love, and hope. I know it's silly, but a small part of me feels like I won too. I've never believed that as a person of color limitations existed as to what I can and can not achieve. But some people need more assurance and well now you have it! Yes we can and we did!
Now, let me tell you how my week went, because I know you're just dying to know!
Earlier this week I have succumb to peer preasure. No, no, no it's not what you think! I have give in to temptation and finally read that damn book Twilight! I bought Twilight on Monday and I just finished Eclipse. ::Sigh:: So it is save to assume that I am addicted now. When I am done with this blog I will start reading Breaking Dawn. Lord help me!
Friday
My friend Kathleen flew in from Florida for the weekend. Laura, Nicole, Kathleen and I all did lunch at one of our favorite spots, Nonna. I shouldn't be giving them a shout out, because their staff is rude, but their food is really good. It was fun, but after Kathleen polished off a bottle of wine all by herself, that was my que to leave lmao!

9 years since my Aunt has passed away. Every year we go to Coney Island, my Aunt's old stomping grounds and say some prayers. We have our moment of mourning, but it's not usually a sad day. It's very rare that my brothers and I get together. My family loves to laugh and we handle grief fairly well. At least on the outside. This year my little man Aiden came along. He's the most precious little thing this earth as ever seen!
My favorite thing about Coney Island (aww, I'm going to miss it!) is the arcades! I am a beast at air hockey! Ooh man I love that freakin' game! My right arm is killing me today, because I play hard! I made my Mom record a game between Jason and I, so that I have to proof of me kicking his ass! Muwahahaha! I am trying to convince my Mom to let me replace the dining room table with an air hockey table. Wish me luck!
That's me waiting for Jason to challenge me lmao!
Love Always,

Whoo hoo I have expirenced Twilight in motion picture form and I loved it! I am so glad that they stayed true to the book and didn't add their own Hollyweird twist. However, I do wish that there had been a little bit more romance between Edward and Bella. That part was just a little rushed. And I wish they had added the scene where Bella faints in Biology! That would have been sooo funny! Other than that I really liked the movie.
