Dang.. where do I even begin? My last update was shortly after my birthday....I've been up to so much lately.
Weight Watchers - still going well. I'm down 17lbs (as of today). I've been excercising more and eating good, so it's definately working!! My friend is down 23lbs!!! Go Flex!!!!!!! I've gone from a size 10 to a size 4, almost down to a 2! It's not so much about the size as it is being comfortable with myself and how I look.
Love life - it's in slow motion. Nothing really happening there. I don't have a boyfriend, and it took me a minute to realize that I was seeing something in somebody and they didn't see it in me. It's cool now - we're friends....I've cried and moved on. On another note, not really love life, but I have met a new friend that I can have interesting converstations with. We met on the Saturday before my birthday at a club(how cliche), and we've talked on the phone since. Nothing heavy or even very personal, but we have converations about politics, world issues and even rap music. He seems to be a really nice person, but I'm not expecting anything from anyone just yet. I've also been talking to one of my exes recently. Nothing serious there, we were friends before we dated and drifted apart after we broke up. I've made the mistake of rushing into things with people, and I don't want to do that anymore. I'm keeping all options open and not comitting to anything with anyone, right now.
Personal - My oldest finished his soccer season and he really loved it. My baby is trying to start potty-training(pray for me). I'm working on doing things that I love, whether people want to do them with me or not...I'm ever-changing. I've got the best friends that a person could ask for. Without Susan, my life would seem so boring! We're so much alike its scary. I've become a lot more invloved with Stand for Children, starting to form a Team at a local school here in Memphis. I'm really excited about this organization and the opportunity to actually make a difference in a school in Memphis. Thanks Harry for getting me jumpstarted with this.
Music - Music is such a big part in my life, maybe it's because my name is Melody; I don't know. Anyway...new cd's that I am totally digging:
John Legend(of course!!!!!) his 2nd CD, Once Again dropped on Oct 24th - I've got two so far. This is very different from his 1st CD as well as different from most R&B out there today. A lot of people that I've talked to are not really feeling this CD, and I think it's because this sounds so different from recent music. To me, this sounds like old-school Motown. A lot of the songs have a real nostalgic feel to it. Honestly, it took me a while to get the hang of the music. I have songs that I like and others that I don't. My favorite song on the CD is "Show me"...everytime I listen to it, it makes me think of my grandmother. Some people think this song is about a woman, but its about God, it's a prayer. I like it because its a nightly prayer and his voice sounds like he's tired and it's late. My 2nd favorite is P.D.A, simply because if you listen to the lyrics of the song, it's not your typical "John Legend", I mean he's talking about doing on the fire escape!!!! Oh my!
Robin Thicke - someone at work tried to get me to listen to this, but it was at the time that I ended a "thing" with someone(mentioned previously) and I wasn't in the mood for slow jam-love songs. Once I was able to get my emotions in check and sat down to listen to the CD, this dude has soul. Real soul, not that fake "I'm trying to hang out with black folks kinda soul-to sell my CD", but real SOUL. He goes from sounding like Marvin Gaye to Donny Hathaway to Justin Timberlake. I think that 2007 is going to be the year of Robin Thicke. He's the opening act for John Legend's tour, so that will give him more exposure - I CAN'T wait for them to come to Memphis!!!! My favorite songs on his CD are Teach you a lesson, I need love and 2 the sky.
