Day 32

I had a long day. I went to open a checking account at one of my banks and it took forever. While I was at the bank, I discovered my interim driver’s license had expired so I had to go to the DMV to get it renewed and report my driver’s license lost since I hadn’t got it in the mail yet. The DMV tried to charge me $22 to get another driver’s license in the mail. She looked it up in the computer and she said the post office hadn’t returned it. I insisted I never got, which is true. I got a new interim license.

I’m tired of school. Transformation Leadership is the topic of my new class. I already hate the topic too. I miss Finance and Accounting already.

I’ve been going through the archives of a Sisterlocked blogger, Brunsli. I love reading her blog. I like reading blogs period. It gives me a reason to be at my computer (like I need a reason, I’m in school!) and on the net.

This is the first day of February and 32nd post. I’m proud of myself. I haven’t stopped blogging yet. I dread they day I won’t be able to get on the net because I fear I won’t be able to get back into it. It’s like working out. I went everyday for a week and then I got sick and couldn’t bring myself to go anymore. Well, sickness wasn’t the only excuse. I hate dealing with my hair.

I notice the more posts my blog has, the more spam I get. Before I lost my blog last year, I was getting a couple hundred spams a day on my blog. If it weren’t for Akismet, I probably would have turned off comments because I wouldn’t feel like deleting the spam.

I got a fortune cookie with my Korean meal today. It said I would be singled out for promotion. At first I thought it said I would be single permanently. At least I got some lotto numbers. I think I will play tomorrow.

Blogs I Read

Categories: Favorite Blogs.

I used to link to blogs I enjoyed reading but then I lost my blog because of a Wordpress upgrade. I’ve had every intention of linking to those blogs again but lacked the desire to do so because of the slow internet connection. :angry:

Miraculously, I now have the desire to post the links with a short description of what the blog is about.  (This has more to do with the fact that I have more time to spend on my computer now that I’m about to leave Afghanistan.) 

Black Female Interracial Marriage: e-Zine on Black Women and Interracial Marriage Options.  This is one of my favorite blogs.  If I only have time to read one blog, this is the one I’ll read. I came across this blog over a year ago and I’ve been hooked since.  If you’re a black woman (bw) who’s interested in broadening your dating options (other than going lesbian), Evia, the blog’s author, has a lot of advice to give.  Check out the archives, pictures, and links in her side bar especially the link “The Reward for BW’s Loyalty.”  It kind of wakes you up don’t you think?

Black Women’s IR Circle.  Halima Anderson is a published author with a non-fiction book, “Supposing I Wanted to Date a White Guy?”  This blog is also about bw’s dating options.  Halima is a wonderful writer with plenty of essays to read from.  As soon as she gets the e-book up for sale I’ll be sure to buy it.

Sweet Potato Pie.  This is a fitness and health blog for black women.  I just discovered this blog today via Evia’s blog and I think it’s a wonderful idea.  Fitness and health should be a top priority amongst all women.  Check out the blog and make a commitment to yourself to stay physically fit.

I actually like exercising but I hate dealing with the hair afterwards. Too bad there isn’t a blog to address this issue.

I have many more blogs I enjoy reading and I will be sure to feature them and provide links in the future. In the meantime, check out this blogs and the blogs these bloggers link to.

BTW, I haven’t forgotten about posting another vlog.  I’m working on it. I haven’t found any music to put to it.  If I don’t find any music, I’ll just post without it.
