Never Can Say Goodbye Tribute to MJ

The Legend Dies: Michael Jackson, King of Pop

I am a HUGE Micheal Jackson fan.  His sudden passing is stunning to say the least.  MJ, is a incredible artist and though he has been imitated, he can never be duplicated.  Here is one of my favorite MJ songs, it has gotten me through quite a few things.  I will probably post more about this later, but right now, enjoy this song!

Almost Official

I am elated that my lingerie line is finally coming together.  I have a few shipments coming in this week and I am just excited!  I have 12 corsets that came in the other week and was like a kid in a candy store when I got them.

So I’m uofficially unofficial…but almost official.  Just a few things I need to do before I hang my sign up “open for business”.  The best thing is the lingerie business is a perfect addition to some of the other things I am already doing.  I am working on creating a catalog and I have models and all that fun stuff lined up for a photo shoot.  So I’m excited! 

Dangerous Curves Ahead, my event for the curvy ladies is this Saturday too, so I am totally looking forward to it.  I have all types of vendors showing up from jewelry to clothing to Henna to a spa business who is doing lashes, mani’s and chair massages.  And I am previewing my lingerie as well.  This is a good week!

Going To The Chapel…

Some girls have a vision of what their wedding will be like by the age of 5, I am not one of those girls.  I never had any grand vision of a wedding nor any of the minute details all figured out.  I am acutally more concenred about maintaining a happy and healthy marriage than a huge overdone wedding.

Having said that, as it become more and more likely that the gf and I will “tie the knot”.  I have been thinking a lot about it.  While I am still not a fan of the huge over the top wedding, I realize that I want something that is very personal and reflects both of our personalities.  A celebration that we will be proud of and remember always. 

So my question to you is, have you thought at all about your wedding/committment ceremony? If so, what must you have and what can you live with out?

The Days of My Life

So, if you have’nt noticed. I haven’t been around much lately.  I have been going strong on twitter, but lately, I haven’t been on too much there either.

It’s not like I don’t have anything to say, I have plenty to say but somehow those thoughts haven’t manifested themselves as a blog.  I also haven’t visited many of my favorite blogs either.  Not that I haven’t thought about it and I am quite sure I am missing some great conversations…I just haven’t done much of anything in the realm of blogs and blogging.

I’ve learned some very important lessons, some came easier than others.  One of the main things I learned was  handed to me by my girlfriend.  This lesson didn’t come easy or fast…but eventually I got it and I’m glad I did.    Since my gf came to live with me, she had been complaining about me being on the computer too much.  At first, I brushed it off…but it became a problem, a HUGE problem.  One of the things I’ve learned since we have been seeing the relationship therapist is to express how what we do make each other feel.  For me, being on the computer was a means to an end.  I was working my businesses so that we could have more, do more, go more places.  Because, of course, all of this requires money.  Many things happened because she felt that I placed more time and attention on whatever I was doing online.  It took over a year, but I finally weaned myself off and spent more time with my gf and our family. 

I’m so glad I did!  I was missing seeing the kids laugh and play and just do the silly things kids do.  I was missing just staring at her and rubbing on her for no reason.  I was so busy trying to make tomorrow better, I forgot about today.  And you know what?  I will do what I can to achieve a brighter tomorrow, but I have decided to enjoy every moment I have with my gf, because she is ultimately who matters.  She taught me that. 

I am also working on my businesses and really concentrating on those things that “bake bread” (make me money!).  I am starting a lingerie business to complement my Pure Romance business.  The business is called Dangerous Curves.  I am currently producing our first event at the end of June.  I hope to do several events like this every other month as well as a few other events.

I am also anxiously awaiting a marriage proposal from my gf…I thought about proposing to her (because I just can’t take being in limbo), but she has made it clear that she is going to propose to me.  So perhaps, I will try to learn the art of patience…  We decided that our big day will take place in Hawaii.  We both want to be married with the blue waters as our backdrop.  Since it will be a small wedding, we figure if we give folks enough time they can make a vacation out of it.  We decided to have a small wedding and spend 2 weeks in Europe as our honeymoon…that’s where we would allocate most of our funds (towards the the honeymoon and not the ceremony).  We also would prefer to have small parties leading up to our big day, just to have fun.  I promised her I wouldn’t be a Bridezilla…she is not totally convinced.  We have a way to go in our relationship, and things that we still are working through.  But I am happy,  totally head over heels happy to be her gf and hopefully future fiance.  I have things to work on and we both have goals we are trying to reach.

It’s hard to put your full trust and faith and hopes into one person.  Because you think, what if… And all the worse case scenario’s come to mind.  It makes you want to withdraw and be afraid.  No one wants a broken heart.  No one wants to put time, effort and love into something that won’t work.  That’s how I felt, and I’m not totally over that feeling.  But at this point the what if everything goes wonderfully scenario has taken hold of me.  I believe that two people who come together in a relationship, who are both flawed imperfect human beings will have bumps in the road.  Our ability to love through the hardest times and to forgive will make the difference.  At some point, you have to know that your partner may not be perfect, but loves you with all she’s got and is committed to making a beautiful relationship.  And that’s enough for me.  My gf isn’t perfect…neither am I.  But I know she loves me no matter what.  She may leave an ounce of milk in the container…but I love her and all the strange things she does nonetheless. LOL.  Because when you can love your partner despite whatever, and you realize that you would rather live with them than without them, then for me, I know that’s a love worth fighting for, living for and pursuing. 

So, I’ve been busy.  Not too busy to blog, but just busy.  Just wanted to write this little post because I don’t know when I will blog again…it may be tomorrow or two weeks from now.  I don’t know.  Depends on how the wind blows.  I am on twitter www.twitter.com/mseceo8. 

Another thing about the (potential) wedding…  I am not one of those folks more hung up on the wedding than ever thing else after the wedding.  But if we do get married, then I really want our wedding to be a reflection of us…all that we’ve been through and overcame together.  I am positive that the best is yet to come.

Feeling Blue

A friend of mine asked me to be the MC at her wedding, I kinda declined.  Now, I feel bad.  I got feedback from 3 different folks who all think I would be excellent at it.  It’s not the crowd, I have no problem with that I give presentations, talks all the time.  But I give informational presentations…I am not expected to be funny.  The MC sets the entire mood for the reception, they crack jokes, they keep people in line there is just so much to it.  I would hate for the wedding day to go sour because of me.

I just feel bad now because she’s a great friend and I feel that I let her down.  What a day!

Apologies

Folks, I haven’t been reading or commenting on blogs as much this week because I have been REALLY busy working on a seminar I have tomorrow (my small business). Hence, why I haven’t blogged too much myself either.   I will be back in action next week, I know I have missed some good stuff!   Have a great weekend everyone!

Throwback Songs For Friday…

What happened to Lady of Rage?

“You don’t love me, you just love my doggy style” LOL

True, True…

Your imitator thinks you can be duplicated; your lover knows you can’t

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.

DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute .

Work this out as you read .

Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out!

This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but fewer than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 — I’ll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759 … If you haven’t, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)

THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Okay, do any of you Math Whiz’s get how this works
