Mommy's home and has given me so much food for thought, especially when it comes to my online presence and my obvious addiction to social media outlets like facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Black Planet and now my own blog. These sites are all fun for me, but I really have to take into account who I'm letting into my inner thoughts and comments on life around me. Not everyone will be happy for me and nor will they care to know all my thoughts. In reflection of this truth and on my actions in the last few months. I'm going to do a virtual "clean house" and declutter my virtual imprint. I'm adding more privacy settings to my sites and making my blog for friends only not the world at large. So, I hope you all would read and participate with me on my blog and know that it is only shared with us ~ not just anyone who may come across my link.
This month of November has been another fabulous month in the life of Ms. U. I truly can't complain~ God is Good! In this time in our country where there are so many people impacted by our recession, whether it be a job loss or another life altering change, I'm truly thankful for the steady constants in my life: a stable job, own condo, bills paid, and most importantly a great family and true friends.
My dear friends and I (AKA Thick Clique) began an annual tradition last year to travel to Jamaica in November to celebrate birthdays and enjoy the island during the off-season. Last Year we went to Montego Bay, JA. It was seven of us then and we had a blast. Here's a glimpse of the fun we had. Here's my sis and I at the barefoot bar :-)
This year we had to go back and do it bigger than ever! We set out sights on taking over Negril, JA and that's what we did! On this trip we had 12 ladies all excited and eager to hit the beach, get a bronze tan, go on excursions, wind it up at a dancehall, and maybe even meet a "Winston" :-)
Of course, I didn't have to go to Jamaica to get my groove back becuase it never left~ LOL!
So, I planned to do the things I've never done before this on trip. I'm a native Floridian and I've never done water sporting! Well in JA, I jet skiied, parasailed, went boating, and bounced around on the ocean on a banana boat. I stayed at the Beaches Sandy Bay resort. I loved it! Everything was wonderful.
Once I got back on the ground, I was on to enjoy all the luxuries that being at an all-inclusive resort provides. This means a lot of drinking and eating, lol. My new thing is Convoursier and Coke~ yeah I know its not a "island" drink, but it will get you sailing :-) I did make sure to bring some of that duty-free Jamaican rum for kicks back home.
Although I didn't go to JA to find a boo, I surprisingly found a potential love in the most unlikely of ways (at least for me). Lately, I've only have had luck meeting men online. It seems as if no one ever approaches me in person, but online I'm a man magnet, SMH! So to meet someone while on vacation, who has the same interests as me and in the place in his life where he is looking for a lasting loving long-term relationship like me is something out of a Arabesque novel.
Is this love? I don't know, but I'm excited to see where it leads! Not knowing what tomorrow brings is what makes life worth living!
My trip was awesome I could write pages on all I did, saw, and experience while there for an amazingly short 7 days. I believe that a picture is a thousand words, so here are a few more.
What are your vacation memories? Do you have a "Stella" story? Do tell!
