Today my sister Alejandra asked me to be her Maid of Honor in her wedding...
I am so excited for her. She has come a long way to where she is now. I am definitely glad she turned her life around, and found a good guy to settle down with. She is working a great job for the city of Dallas, her fiance' also works for the mayor. They both are doing good.
Now wedding colours, the dress, the maid of honor/bridesmaids dresses... bridal shower
iy yi yi yi... lol. what have i gotten myself into... doesn't matter. that's my baby sister, I'll do it all for her...
i'll be back with more details when i have more
woohoo
lol. she beat me to being the bride. it's alright tho... one day

Time to Celebrate
Allow me to introduce to you the new Executive Financial Officer of Conde Nast (www.condenet.com) .
Yes I will be accepting the job with them. I will be working under the great John Bellando who has been the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for i believe 4 yrs now.
I am happy to take on this job. new responsibilities. new challenges. but i am up for all of it right now.
Beginning of the year I will be traveling to look for places in New York, and France. I am very excited about the new position. After working at Next Management as the Sr Director of Finance and Administration, it is time for me to go out and venture to new, bigger, and better career opportunities. I have this company to thank for building me up, and pushing me to the limit. although i am glad to be leaving, i will miss the people here. but not their ways of operation.
even though this job will have me in 3 different locations. i will still have way more flexible time, and free time. less traveling, and definitely something i wanted. I always talked about having a home in LA, and in NYC...now i get that and France as well. i feel i will have more time with my family and my friends. even tho i will not be in one state... i will be stationed in one place for a while w/o travel interrupting any plans. My weekends are free. and my Fridays begin early...
It's a bittersweet advancement, to have all i want and still not have what i need. I spoke to my friend about taking the job. he mentioned to me one thing i had not thought about really. was holding down a real/serious relationship. Residing in 3 locations, one being out of the country, and the others being one one coast. it'd be hard if not impossible. i lost my last relationship due to too much traveling with work. now that i am in a position that gives me 3 homes, i don't think it'd be hard to hold down a relationship. b/c 6 mos out of a yr I'll be where my main office is located (LA). and one - 3 mos in my other offices. Now over seas may be harder b/c u can't fly to France for just a weekend. but if it's something u really want, you'll work to keep it...
It's a catch 22... everybody wants somebody that's successful, but can't handle it when they're away or busy. i realized you can't always get what you want. but if u want it. u work for it. and u compromise...
I am proud of my accomplishments and of my advancement... Wish me luck ppl

can't sleep
i can't sleep b/c too much is on my mind.
i am worried about too much and too many ppl..
i have a sick friend who won't tell me what is wrong with him. even tho he says it's nothing. i know it is... and i don't think he'll ever tell me either... -sigh- just hope he gets better
my sister and her boyfriend fell out over the whole money issue. and she's hella worked up over it.. i hope she calmed down. she's not answering my call either... i hope she didn't do anything stupid...
my best friend got into a bar fight last night. i swear she is one crazy ass dyke. but i love her to pieces. i just hope no one was seriously injured. haven't heard anything since one of her broads called me...
my biggest worry... my friend went out last night. last time i spoke to him was around 6pm my time... haven't heard from him since. i texted him once thru the night, and no response... then this morning.. but his phone is off... and i called the house... and still no answer... i am sure he's alright. but i can't be for certain b/c i haven't heard from him. and with all the crazy shit that's been going on. i can't help but worry. so now i lay in my bed with my mind going 1 mil mph really hoping he's alright...
-sigh-
this sucks monkey balls. b/c I'm up worried. and i am sure everyone is somewhere sound asleep...
this shit is going to drive me insane. i could be cold. but i care too much about these ppl to even act like that... and i would never be that way twds them.
blah

my blogs
no indirect. no subliminal messages.
i am a straight forward person. and typically if something is bothering me. i will definitely say something to you. my blogs are my vent spot. it's not to bash anyone. it's not to get anyone attention. it's just my pure release therapy. if i have ever had any feelings towards anyone. i have made sure i went straight to that person and said so. if i had questions about someone, or their actions. i have went to them.
i do not want anyone online to ever think my blogs are about them unless some how some way we have a connection offline. there is a select handful of people i do deal with. they know who they are. and they know where we stand. as i know who they are and where we stand.
when it comes to certain a person. i know what it is. i know what it has been, and what it'll never be. so i don't set the bar too high with them. i keep it casual, and keep it moving. we both know that. i respect his standings, as he respects mine. and we get a lone very fine with that. i know what's going on in his life. as well as he does with mine. and if i ever had a problem or question.. I've always went directly to him. and he has never had a problem with answering it...
so never read too deep into my blogs. or think it's pertaining a person online. and if it ever is... trust they'll know it is about them...
yes this was my disclaimer
amber your still my pretty brown girl :)

money...family
last night my sister called me crying about her boyfriend.
keep in mind i am half out of it. in pain. and not really too much wanting to hear about her problems. well i guess he took her car to the shop to get an oil change. she gave her the debit card to her account to do so.. which he gladly did. some how in the midst of all of this. he asked her... "babe, u remember them jeans i wanted... let me order them" of course she says yeah...
sometime later on in the evening, she gets a call from her bank telling her her account was severely overdrawn... and she had her rent, car note, and insurance due that's automatically pulled from her account.
to find out her boyfriend decided to go on a little shopping spree at her expense.. now at my expense. his excuse was... i thought u had enough money in the account to cover all the charges..
(stops to take a breather)
i don't give a fuck how much money you think someone has... you do not take it upon yourself to help yourself to their money. i don't care if u are her boyfriend. shit you could be her fucking husband. you just don't do no shit like that what so ever. you asked for a pair of jeans. which is all you shoulda order. don't go buying all this extra shit. if it was my dude.. oh that shit would have been returned. and his ass would have been out fucking cold. i don't care where the fuck u stay. but you gotta go.. flat out..
muthafucka had some big balls to think he could just spend her money... now my money.
of course i fixed her account for her... and gave he enough money for her rent. car note. and insurance. -shakes my head-
she's a grown ass woman.. he's a grown ass man. no one should ever be this irresponsible. but that's my kid sister, and i know if my mommy were around she'd did the same...
of course she cannot go to our dad, b/c our dad would have had a lot more than i would have to say. and due to how much pain i was in. i didn't even wanna be bothered with going thru it with her...
but he'll hear it.. and he'll pay me back all my fucking money. worthless ass muthafucka
ohh ppl make my blood boil

ohh ppl make my blood boil
pain..pain..pain
i swear i have sooo many controlled substance it id pitiful
first i was prescribed percacets. those really knocked me out. so i couldn't take them at work
next they gave me vicodin... those did the same. but not as much
now i am on ultram... which works but it still makes me tired...
and none of these pills really relieve the pain. just takes the edge off of it
so not only am i dealing with my back problem. now kidney problems
but this shit will not stop me. i got too much going on to slow down.
might slow me up, but fuck it imma keep moving.
recently they discovered i had kidney stones. which is why my back has been hurting so bad as well. i spent a good portion of my Thursday in the hospital due to very very bad pain. they ruled out that it was my back. b/c the pain i was describing was too much for it to have been my back. they ran a million and one labs. and discovered it was my kidneys. they did a sonogram on my kidneys. and so far they can see at least 3 nice size stones in there. god i pray they break down before i pass them. i wouldn't wish this pain on anyone what so ever...
it's definitely messing with my life. i am so out of it at work. i come home and takes these meds, and they knock me out... so no socializing with my friends/peers... soon enough i'll get thru this.
with all the drugs they have given me. i am sure i will be at some comfort.. but not much
