     Planning a trip to Santa Monica. My hubby and kids have never seen the pier and that is a shame! I also want to show them Marina del Ray and Mothers Beach. Great childhood memories there with my dad and mom on lazy Cali Sundays. The breeze, the sun, the surf, and the shopping. Dam I am homesick. I can not wait! I also have pulled together a plan for buying my first home. All I need to do now is find a lender.      
     I have time though, but just the thought of making the American dream actually come true and work for my family is simply amazing. There are always so many hurdles for the African American/People of Color families when it comes to credit, homes, cars, and jobs yet me and my husband are finally coming up roses. It is pleasantly refreshing.

I feel like I am 78 or something, I have 3 doctors appointments in less than a month to get BC and check on my bad ticker. Shit sucks. For now I am eating plenty veg and smoothies with raw fruits and diet juices. Bleeeckch! lol Other than that this year is ok. I like 2016. I will be joining the gym soon, yeah it sounds cliche, but I have to in order to keep my heart healthy. I choose life. Been coloring in one of those adult coloring books with inspirational messages. I like it, no I love it. Fun stuff! I hung two of the finished pics in my cubicle and it really makes my dull desk interesting now. Well I am off to relax before work. Ciao.

A busy and fucked up week if I may say so myself. My grandfather died at 7:11pm Thursday August 13th and now my family is fussing and crying and fighting and all a hot mess. I never imagined the numbness I would feel. The hurt and the empty. I miss him already. RIP 1927-2015. The only thing I have left to look forward to is my trip to the beach next weekend. Santa Monica or bust. I need to get away from it all if just for a bit.

ELDERS REACT TO THE WEEKND

You know, The Weeknd aka Abel as we XOfam know him and call him, his art is not for everybody. It is so encouraging and special to see this vid and see how much others love his voice as much as we do. He is an inspiration and a classic story of rags to riches. He deserves all this praise and so much more. Abel's art is fresh, deep, poetic, and exactly what hip hop and alternate RnB needed. He is what music has been waiting on since the demise of MJ. Beautiful, treacherous, and angelic is his music and his soul. If they loved those they must listen to his MJ cover. It made me come to tears it was so beautiful. #xotwod #2XO15 #xoflood #manlookatthekidnow #xo #thehills #airhead #abelisbae
