Exclusively
I’m really feeling this song today….
Been around the world, seen a lot of pretty girls
But you’re the only one for me, yeah
I’m happy with my choice, and a lot of back and forth
I want your love exclusively, you and me
You and me one on one
We can have a lot of fun lovin’ in a first degree
I, I want, I want you
Why can’t we see the love, you and I can be as one
Quality time you and I, in the top of the crown
You’re the the only one on the top if my list, the only one
I bet you by now, you’re naked
(I bet you, I bet you)
Oh and your love is good when you lick it
So good to me, so damn good to me
You got me hangin’ upside down and I?ve been around
I think you should know by now
Been around the world, seen a lot of pretty girls
But you’re the only one for me, yeah
I’m happy with my choice and a lot of back and forth
I want your love exclusively, you and me
You and me one on one, we can have a lot of fun
Lovin’ in a first degree, lovin’ and lovin’
I, I want, I want you
Take my hand and follow my lead
Yeah, follow me, got you givin? lovin’ on me, yeah
Each and every time you rub your fingers down my spine
You send chills through my body and you blow my mind
(Blow my mind)
And I bet you by now, you’re really thinkin’
(Bet you by now)
Oh, can he be serious, see your type of lovin’ is dangerous
I can’t get enough, I can’t get enough
Said, I’ve been around the world, seen a lot of pretty girls
But you’re the only one for me, yeah
I’m happy with my choice and a lot of back and forth
I want your love exclusively, you and me
You and me one on one
We can have a lot of fun lovin’ in a first degree
I, I want, I want you
Been around the world
(And I seen a lot of things in my life)
I’m happy with my choice
(I made the right decision, yes I did)
You and me, you and me 1 on 1
You and me together
I, I want, I want you
Seen a lot of girls
Been around the world
I’m happy with my choice
Want your love exclusively
Want your love exclusively
Want your love exclusively
Want your love exclusively
Want your love exclusively
Want your love exclusively
I, I want, I want you
I, I want, I want you
I, I want, I want you

23 Years Ago Today…
Today marks the 23rd year since my mother passed away. Every Feb 21st, I quietly celebrate the 15 years that I spent with my mother and I also mourn the 23 years that I have had to live without her. Before today, I have never shared with anyone my private ceremony in honor of my mother; but for some reason I felt it was time to expose that part of myself…maybe it will help someone else.
Either way, the lose of a parent is never easy. As time passes, you learn to deal with the ups and downs that you’ll experience. You learn to live and move on, but there will always be a part of you that is wounded from the loss. The wound never completely heals, but only scabs. Sometimes I pull the scab off, in order to feel the pain of the loss because I want to know that my mother was there…I want to know that she is still in the forefront of my memory…I don’t want to forget her. After 23 years I still feel her presence in my life & and I am grateful.
Rest in Peace Patricia (1949-1988)
Funky Friday Vol. 1
TGIF Folks. It is indeed a funky Friday for me…as are all my Fridays. I attempt to keep my day light and airy just for the sake of easing into my weekend stress free. This week has been pretty standard…work, school and of course more work. Here’s the rundown:
I love my job, but some weeks its über slow. This week has been one of those weeks. Not much paperwork, no requests..NOTHING! I have not had one phone call from a client asking me for anything. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining, however I know that next week I will probably pay for this week of leisure big time.
This semester I decided that I would take a couple of science oriented classes and temper that with some business law and sociology. Everything was cool until I realized that chemistry and I just don’t get along. There will be no reconciliation between us, so I dropped the course. However, my astronomy course is by far the most interesting thing I have studied in a long time. Long live the milky way!
Fellow blogger (Hostile Gospel..The Misadventures of Me) and personal friend LaconicIcon hipped me to the fact that I have what is called a work wife. Before this week, I had no clue to what this was, but my friend has broken it down for me. My coworker and I typically go to lunch together at least 3-4 times a week. In recent weeks, I had been doing lunch with other folks and my coworker called me and asked if we had divorced because I havent been available for lunch…according to LaconicIcon, this is the definition of a work wife. It is true with they say: WE DO LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY.
I’ve been obsessed with Oxford’s lately. Cole Haan is by far the premier maker of Oxford’s for women. I’m currently lusting over these:
I think before the weekend is over, a shopping trip to the Cole Haan store will be in order! What do you think?
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a perfume whore. I love to smell good…I think its a travesty for a woman to smell void. C’mon women, find a fragrance that works for you and rock that shit! I have many fragrances that I wear, but one that I love and get compliments on the most is Almond Cookie by Carol’s Daughter. It is this is a warm, powdery, buttery almond scent, a sort of liquified marzipan, that smells WONDERFUL on me, if I may say so myself. I started wearing this some time ago, but over the past couple of months or so, I have fallen in love with this fragrance again.
Tonite I will be attending the Houston Society for the Performing Art’s Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald. This is a birthday gift to myself. I love jazz, I especially love classic jazz (Ella, Billie Holiday etc) I have been anticipating this performance for months. Cant wait! The show starts at 8pm and I shall be front and center!
Well folks, there you have it: my Funky Friday in a nutshell!
Enjoy your weekend!
Journey to Me: Entry #15
Entry #15 (Click here to read Entry #14)
I did end up moving away from my aunts and moving in with my paternal grandmother who I have always adored. At this point in my life I was 19 years old with visions, goals and dreams for myself. My immediate goal at the time was to leave Houston and attend Spelman College…I even got accepted, but my father would not allow me to go that far from home. I was furious with him for this ultimatum, although I could have went anyway, but even my young ass knew that I needed financial support from my family…so I acquiesced and attended college in Houston.
My aunt died shortly after I moved away. I was a very sad occasion as deaths tend to be. From the time I left her house to the time she died, she and I sorta mended our fences and our relationship improved. I was actually glad this happened, especially since she left this world so soon. I remember her funeral being almost like my mothers, ironically, she was buried at the same cemetery that my mother was laid to rest. I watched her two sons go through the same pain that my brother and I had gone through 5 years earlier. The pain and anger in their eyes was all too familiar. I felt their pain…I knew their experience. It was as if I was reliving my life’s tragedy.
After this day, I was able to put that part of my life behind me and move forward into adulthood and find out who I was. This was the day I began my exploration of myself.

Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away I will always love you
However long I stay I will always love you
Whatever words I say I will always love you
I will always love you
