I know I haven’t updated in weeks. School, work, my boys, Brian, and GrowBlackHair.net have been my main focus the last couple of weeks. I’m doing well in school and I’m in the second to last week of my first session of classes. My session actually ends on June 17th! Go figure!

I’ve been working in the morning now, but after discussing my future with Brian, he wants me to quit my job in the next few months and just focus on the boys and school. So this is when GrowBlackHair.net comes into play. Over the course of the next few months before I do quit I want GrowBlackHair.net to be bringing in my income than what I’ve been making. Currently my site only makes a little over $100 every 3 months. I need that to increase. Every three months is not good enough. My ultimate goal is atleast $2000 per month. I know that this can be achieved with time and patience. As of last month I received 3312 unique visitors. I can’t wait to start averaging 10,000 unique visitors. I’ve come along way though. My unique visitors have increased since January which was only 1769. I’ve noticed that my number of visitors increase each month so at this rate the money will start accumulating and my goal will finally be reached.

I started the Art Institute of Pittsburg Online Division on Friday. I am really excited about starting school and I can’t wait to learn some new web-design skills so I can put them to use on my current sites and start on building my online portfolio. I am planning to finish school in 4 years with my BA in Interactive Media/Web-design and I can’t wait. One thing for certain I am not planning on staying in dried up Ohio after I finish school.

I am planning on moving again to a state that will allow me to find a job in this field and Ohio is not the place for it. I really regret moving back here and I wish things didn’t work out the way they did because it sucks here. It took me over 9 months to find a crappy ass job getting paid $8/hour. I’ve been working 5 and 6 days a week with no more than 28-34 hours per week. I don’t even bring home enough to get a car. I can’t keep doing this. Something’s got to give. I’ve also found out that there’s a hiring freeze with the city so I may not ever get that city job. Cleveland is not the place to be right now. It’s all dried up like a sponge left out in the sun. Speaking of sun when are we going to get some? It’s the middle of May and today it was 57 degrees. WTF?! I’m really missing Florida right now…

Yesterday Brian and I took the boys to T.G.I. Fridays for dinner. It was really nice to have dinner together. This was a really nice weekend. I didn’t have to work so I was able to spend all my time with the boys and Brian without any interruptions. Everything was great until I read some ignorant shit on my website which I won’t even give much attention to. I’m tired of people acting younger than their age. Hell I live with a bunch of immature grown people which is highly irritating.

I’ve also found some new sites that offer products geared towards caring for natural hair. It’s really excited going natural and discovering new products that are made for my hair. Yesterday I tried two strand twists for the first time (not the weave ones), instead of the usual TWA I’ve been wearing and it  looks nice. Very Afrocentric, but nice.

With today being Easter(Ishtar, Semiramis) am I totally disgusted by this holiday and it’s practices. If you are curious to know why see the link below:

For those of you that don’t know I do not condone Christmas either or any other traditional Christian holiday because that is just what they are traditions.

In other news, Brian and I have been talking about marriage and how the wedding will take place. In all honesty I shy away from the big grand wedding tradition and I would be quite satisfied with a small simple wedding with our guest list under 25 people. I would like to be married outside in a beautiful gown (not a wedding dress) with my hair dressed up with flowers. I’d like a wedding cake, and a simple reception with a homecooked meal with members of my own family being the chef’s instead of an expenisve ass caterer. I’d also like to go to Cancun, Mexico for my honeymoon if possible. I really don’t want anything more than that. I’m fairly a simple woman and I don’t ask for much at all in life or in a man for that matter. All I want is someone that will love me and my children and will treat me and my boys with the utmost respect. Someone that will actually be a “man”, whom will live up to every expectation of that word in a bibical tense, because in this present day and time it doesn’t take much to be a man and it saddens me.

At home the drama continues… Yesterday I came home and I was so exhausted. I was only home for about 20 minutes when my mom comes up to me and starts arguing about  my phone conversations because I was talking to Brian 2 nights ago about the previous entry and my sister was downstairs listening to my conversation. She then brought up my blog again. Just like the drama queen my sister is,  she waits until I’m gone and tells my mom what I talked about with Brian. What is her reasons? To create drama. It’s like she feeds off  that shit or something. My sister is so immature for someone whom just had a baby and typical she really doesn’t have a life because she is always wrapped up in what I’m doing. If she wasn’t my sister, me and her would’ve been fault and I would’ve successfully kicked her drama loving ass.

My mom wanted to start quoting the Bible about me turning the other cheek and trying to say I’m being the devils tool because I won’t allow my sister to continue to dog me out. She really don’t want to take it there with me concerning the Bible because I may not go to church, but I know my Bible very well and the Bible also states that what my sister is doing (Tattling & meddling) is a sin.

1 Timothy 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

Anyways, I’m going to spend my Spring break resting, catching up on my math, spending time with the boys(getting Jeremiah on a better sleep schedule) and spending time with Brian as well. I won’t be sitting around at home being irritated and annoyed. I want my vacation/break to feel just like what it is…a break!

I cleaned up my blog some more today and changed a few things. I ended up deleting my FAQ page because most of the questions are answered on my credits page so it served no purpose. I deleted my pages page and replaced it with a page called sites where my other sites will be located along with sites that I really admire. I also also decided to change my favicon (clear your cache to see it) and the calendar icon from the emerald to my original idea…a planet with rings. I just had to find a good tutorial on how to make a planet with rings. The emerald just took away from the layout completely, but now I am really happy with the way my site looks now.

Eternally-me.com is going to be launched officially on March 1st. The same day I will be deleting SweetVanillaSugar.com and making a temporary page until I make up my mind what i want to do with the domain. I’ve also added a ban plugin to my new blog so I won’t have to go through all the harassment I went through on sweetvanillasugar.com.
