Spring Cleaning

Summer is almost here but you still have time to spring clean your life. Now is the perfect time to purge stuff that is holding you back — from bad money habits to unresolved emotional baggage. I picked out a few ways to spring clean your life from an email that was sent to me. You can’t be happy with someone else until you are happy with yourself.

1. Exorcise your ex
Get rid of their photos, take them off speed dial, and tell your friends to get after you if you mention the ex’s name. It’s over so move on.

2. Trash your bad body image and stop overeating
It’s self-destructive to obsess about your body. Get fit without striving for unrealistic goals. You can start not eating after 7 p.m., buying single-servings instead of economy size and saving half of a large meal as lunch for the next day.

3. Get your money right.
We have talked about cleaning up credit so I won’t dwell on that. But start a fun fund and put some money aside every week to do something fun like go on a cruise or a more-expensive-than-normal night on the town. If shopping is your vice, use the fun fund for shopping instead of going on unneccessary spending sprees when you know you have other bills to pay. And nobody likes someone who doesn’t repay their debts. So if you owe family and friends money, now’s the time to pay up.

4. Break up and update your network
Ditch the people in your life that are doing you no good. And cultivate new contacts both personally and professionally. Start a casual monthly networking party for people in your industry and/or amongst friends. You will be amazed at how many people you will meet.

What do you do to get ready for summer? Are there certain times of the year that you find yourself re-evaluating and purging your life? What other ways do you suggest to spring clean your life?

Sorry to go off topic for a sec, but I didn’t have an opportunity to comment on yesterday’s topic. I have had many relationships with people I’ve worked with at various times and in various workplaces. Some were disastrous, some turned out very well. I married two of them - husbands #2 and #3 (#3 as in “the charm”). Husband #1 was my high school love, so I guess in a way you could say I met him at “work,” also. One thing about developing a relationship with someone you work with or go to school with is that at least you have an opportunity to see them operate in everyday situations before you decide whether you want something more. I think you have to be very careful and give a lot of thought to the potential repercussions, though. Enough said on that - next post will be on today’s topic!

Hi Psycho Belle! I haven’t had a chance to welcome you, but it’s great to see you pop in.

I suggest that you spring clean your cell phone!

Take out (or DNA) the phone number of anyone that has proven to be LAME. This includes lame friends, relatives, and ESPECIALLY romantic interests. If you don’t want to be used as a summer fling, a friend’s personal driver, or a relative’s ATM, spring clean your phone!

Hope you guys had fun at Dugan’s, I was tied up and couldn’t get away. Sorry I missed it!

Thanks for the welcome!

Now, on today’s topic: One thing I would suggest for people who would like to be in better shape is to set aside time to work out regularly. Frequently I hear people say they don’t have time. That is BS. People can make time for whatever they want. I work full time, take a class every semester (working toward a master’s degree), raise kids, have fun with hubby, and still make time to work out every day. It’s a matter of priorities. Taking care of your own body and mind should be one of your top priorities. When you take care of yourself, then you are better able to take care of others.

No more confinement to a hot, sweaty crowded gym. #3, me and my girls always take an end of spring/end of summer trip…..last year we were supposed to go Miami for 3 days but the Hurricanes hit pretty badly. We are trynna go there this year but for a weekend type of thing and to Aruba or Figi…..not sure about Figi but we want to go somewhere neither of us have been. Guess I better start saving up.

MsK - I wish you would have gotten up there to perform for us, you are so much fun.

Me - it was great finally meeting you, no need to apologize for being tipsy you looked like you were having a ball. We definitely have to do that duet next time.

Just a little, Mr. C. Thanks for checking on me yesterday w/ that smooth voice (totally soothing). I did get those wings (only ate about 7), no drink cuz I didn’t have any cranberry @ the house and after fighting that horrible traffic I didn’t feel like going back out…….my man did stop by on his way home to give me a massage later on that night though…….it definitely took away some of the tension and it put me to sleep. He tucked me into to bed, set my alarm for me, and left. I woke up around 4am thinking it was no later than midnight and had to smile cuz I was already in the bed and all the lights were turned down, he even took my trash out for me. That was so sweet of him.

On topic: My time of re-evaluating normally happens right before the new year. That’s when I look at where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and what I want to leave in the old year and take into the new year. Another way to spring clean for me is to change my routine. Go visit a place I’ve never been, go to lunch with someone I wouldn’t normally go to lunch with. The summer is definitely the time I like to be a social butterfly (shout out to MsK!)

Happy Friday! It sounds like you all had a blast last night. One day Ignatius is going to surprise you and drop in on a gathering. Once I get a babysitter brave enough to spend a few hours with mine. They are just two normal rambunctious boys with a sister who knows how to control them, but lately they have been reading Calvin and Hobbes and are coming up with new ideas each and every day. I have been considering sending them to Abu Ghrab prison to let them work off some energy.

Ennyway, on topic, house cleaning is good, but sometimes I think it’s better to put things away where you know where they are rather than toss them. There may be times you need to go back and cull a little knowledge from past experience regardless of whether it is something you ever want to use again or not, good or bad. ;-)

Tazzee, if you could send me a link to the pictures I would love to se everyone. You all have a wonderful weekend!

You’re welcome MrAP.

KIR - I am there. I was going to be in Savannah that weekend, but because I’ll be leaving the following Tuesday to go out of town and a couple of my loved ones are graduating that weekend, I decided to stay in town.

Carrington-I will be at D&B. My homeboy broke up with his girl today and is kinda worried about her spirits so he asked us (the girls) to take her out. So I will hit up when I get there

Mia-Shout IS kinda meat marketish like Ms.AP said and that is not the scene I am down with today. Just wanna chill and have a drink.

Ms.AP-ask him about a girl named Kendra from Baltimore. He will know who you are talking about.

oh yeah carrington no need to rename me Twinz II. My girls already have a name. They are the Judds. Ashley and Winona(sp)

Congrats, WISE, I had that once. even with, what is her name, Recessitation Annie? But don’t remember her having twins…LOL(Plus she was kinda cold)

Money - I have learned it helps if you only take $40 out at the ATM, and then try to NOT spend it…Means you have no FUN, but……hahahahhaahah

By Wise Diva

LOL @ The Judds…that’s real funny Suga!

Ok so you have this guy, lets call him…Mark. Mark has been with his girlfriend for about 4 months. He says they are really happy. He thinks she COULD be the one. They have consummated their relationship but she refuses to * ahem * slob the nob (not the best way to put that, but work with me!)

So Mark is spotted at a bar with some random chick and he gets called on it by a friend. His excuse is, he really really likes his girlfriend, but he will pursue intimate relations with “random girls� because there are certain things she doesn’t do.

Now I don’t think it is fair to continue dating someone with whom you are incompatible with sexually. What if they marry? Will he continue to seek other women to fulfill his needs? He thinks its better for him to go elsewhere then make his girl feel bad about not doing certain things. Your thoughts?

By Ivy

@ Carrington…..Yes, doesn’t it. I just took $100 out at lunch. I stopped at the mall to pick a birthday gift for my daughter’s best friend . It was less than $20 and I bought some lunch that was about $6 bucks. I stopped in the Limited Too and bought some candy for them and somehow I’m left w/ about $60. Now that’s $40 worth of nothing.

Miss Me.. that’s really interesting. I remember being approached by this FINE man at Starbucks and he had the nerve to say something about no chick can become his girl until she slobbed…Ummmmmmm. So fellas, is it common thing now? I mean do you guys want ALLL kinda freakyness before you become serious with a chick? Tell me this ain’t the trend these days, please!

guys, is this just some extra..or is this needed b/c she is seriously lacking in the sack?? some sort of compensation…

and what do you think if a chick comes right of the bat and does that?? don’t you think she does that too soon, or do you not care in the heat of the moment?? and do you kiss a girl who is that easy???

just askin

S&S I’ll respond for you- so Wise do you think slobbing is all kinds of freakiness?

By Ivy

May 13, 2005 03:31 PM | Link to this

And another thing, as a woman…..you can’t be giving your man all the freakiness up front. You have to introduce it slowly…..there’s an art to it……I mean even though he doesn’t say it, you can’t be unleashing the bunny on him……take baby steps and I do mean baby steps…really, there’s an art to it and you really have to let him think that he talked you into doing whatever. I know it sounds weird but it’s so true. Not saying at coy or pretend you are shy but don’t unleash all your best tricks immediately…..again, seduction is an art.

See Diva, you got me started…….Whoa, baby!!!!! the thoughts in my head right now………ahahhahahahahaha! Think the thought project…….is the B-fam remembering???? the shower??? ring any bells? ahahhahahahah!

@Wise, girl, now you know you be throwing down. I can’t wait. Will you be bringing some fish from that place again?…..I’ve been craving it for almost a year now……I’ll bring some oil and we can fire up the fryer and I’ll even pay for a few pounds, I’m begging here……Hot sauce in hand. Not sure what I will bring. I’m so last minute.

By Wise Diva

May 13, 2005 03:40 PM | Link to this

Actually, I was asking in general, not so much about it being ALL kinds of freakyness. Everybody has a different idea of what freaky is… which is my very point. If guys want to know now how down with the get down a chick is (freaky)…are they expecting to be taken seriously? I think it would clue me in to the fact that a guy is just wanting to hit.

Ivy, I like how you put that. It should be over time, and I am trying to see if guys have shortened that time span (to a frickin week) since I was last on the dating scene… cuz clearly it is something they seem to check for right away. I am saying..what the hell is the urgency unless you just want a FB?

May 13, 2005 03:42 PM | Link to this

hahaha ivy and The Shower. I remember! Girl, that reminds me because of you everytime I hear that dang R. Kelly imagine that song I start to think about going the darn thing. Anyhoo….

Wise-this woman is grown though, right? So she should have a strong grip on what good sex entails and what dosent. Now agree with Ivy dont unleash the porno star upfront. But also dont be afraid to have a little in you. I guess my thing is…Do unto others.. and we know the rest

OK folks I am out. have a good one.

Im with Ivy, don’t you wanna save some for later…if we get down and do EVERYTHING up front what we got to look forward to?? now like Wise said, if you a FB then I guess you overlook all that and handle yours.

By Ivy

May 13, 2005 03:51 PM | Link to this

Diva, IMHO, I think when a guy comes at you like that, you can only think that that’s what he is about…..trynna cut….I mean, what difference does it make how I do what I do or when or where? If me and you are going to do the do then it’s done and if not, then no point in talking about it and getting worked up on what you think I will/might do……I let a man know straight up, either it’s going down or it isn’t…..now if I say it’s a no-go and he still tries to pursue me then oh well to that……but actions speak louder than words and I feel I can show you better than tell you and with that, the conversation is done. Now when a guy is honestly trynna pursue you other than some cut and is interested in getting to know who you are and what you’re about instead of whether or not you can bend into a pretzel then that’s clear immediately, at least for me(now we all know they still want to eventually cut something). Ok, it’s late in the day and I was about to pull out Ivy’s Handbook: Volume 47 hahahahahahha, hopefully that made sense but if not, at least I knew what I was trynna say, hopefully you all got my drift (I was trynna be PG)…..lol!

That makes perfect sense, Ivy thanks. I know a lot of times, guys won’t be upfront about wanting an FB situation. I am upfront too, I have no problem letting them know whatever it is I am wanting…whether that be a FB set up or something more meaningful. I just got a REAL problem with a dude PRETENDING he wants something meaningful when he truly is out for booty on duty. That is a GREAT perk of abstaining, you sure weed out those stick and move dudes.
