Well this morning after we swimmed laps we got into the hot tube I did not realize it but the whole time my sister still had the goggles on but they were on her forhead and once we were in the locker room getting our things for a shower she took the goggles off and tha-dah this is what she had on her forehead. I started laughing of course and she was like what so I said your head I gotta take a pic of it, so here is a pic of my sis ^_^ I did ask her if it was ok if I blogged about her and she said people are going to know who I am I said nah only three or four people at work even knows about the blog and she said ok. I love her! What a great trooper. Lesson learned don't wear goggles on your forehead in the hot tub because they will make you look like an alien.

Juicy

So I like Juicy Couture. OK, I love Juicy Couture.
I'm not a high maintenance person like some women when it comes to name brands. This is the only girly name brand thing I am somewhat addicted to he he.. During one of my recent shopping adventures I purchased some Juicy Couture of course. Today I am struggling with not going to the mall during lunch to by something else juicy ^_^ So I called to see if my sales woman was working and sadly she wasn't :( If she had been there today nothing would have held me back from going there to purchase something else that has been on my list. I only go purchase things when she is there because they work on commission and she is awesome and has always been willing to help. Sometimes you walk into stores where the employees work on commission and they may judge you right off the bat on whether you will buy something or can afford it. She was very welcoming and not judgemental. She is working tomorrow so lets see if I can resist going ^_^
Get over it!
I can understand why Gates thought and felt the way he did. Gates is 75yrs and who has most likely experience a lot of racism during his early life and that affects a person perception on how they view situations especially if you have been in a similar situation before as a young man who felt he had no voice. When being confronted in your own home and "not knowing why they are there, regardless of what the officer stated" I can see being extremely pissed off to prove it's your residence as a "black man" living in a nice area.
"Man/Men" is the key word in this situation not racism.
I understand Crowley was doing his job. He was taking verbal attacks from Gates while performing his job, which would also piss you off whether you are on or off duty. But being on duty you should take the higher ground and not be reactive and take it personally.
What it boiled down to was who is the bigger man I believe Crowley was pissed along with Gates, but wanted to prove who had the power since his pride had been affected. It was two men trying to claim there territory. I believe Crowley wanted to show him who had the power due to their interaction not his race.

Pills and Movies
This week I was in so much pain. I have prescribed pain medication, but I normally don't take them because of how they make me feel. I tend to only use them on the weekend so my work performance isn't effected by them. I have a high pain tolerance and can normally handle the pain. Yesterday, Friday I could no longer handle it. I made it through the work day without taking it. So after I left work and completed my errands then I was headed to the movies I was half way there and decided I could no longer handle the pain so I figured I should take something for it otherwise I would not be comfortable at the movies especially sitting another 2hrs. I took one pain pill and one other pill to help my muscles relax. I've taken this combo before and felt some relief without any weird side effects.I get to the theater and went straight to watch the movie The Ugly Truth and did not buy anything to eat I just had a drink that I carried in. I started feeling sleepy during the movie, but kept watching the movie I was in so much pain I cannot describe it I should not have went. The next thing you know I was watching a movie eating popcorn that was not the Ugly Truth, it was The Orphan and I was so out of it you would have thought I was drunk or had taken a lot of pills instead of just two pills (obviously I'm a light weight). I was eating popcorn with that nasty oil on it I never buy that stuff. I vaguely remember leaving the theater. I do remember getting into my car to drive home. Legally I probably should not had driven home I'm grateful I made it home safely without injuring anyone I'm so grateful. This will NEVER happen again. I do not remember driving home. I do remember struggling getting the door open once home. Once I was in I stumbled to my bed and passed out. I recalled these events once I woke up it's pretty cloudy.
I had 6 alarms set to help me get up daily when I know I have to get up. I apparently turned all 6 off. My sis called me at 7:10am this morning I just barley missed her 2nd call. I looked at the phone and then texted her "OMW" see I was suppose to meet her at 7am at the gym. I tried to move and was in sooooo much pain still. So I sucked it up and went to the gym. I probably should not had done that either. I worked out for three hours and the endorphins made me forget about the pain temporary. Once I left I wanted to walk in front of a car to put me out of my misery......... To Be Continue................................
