Ooh it’s almost St. Paddy’s day y’all. Aren’t you excited? Yeah me either but here in the Chi they makes a big deal out of it. I mean big parades and they even dye the river green too. Funny stuff. I had green beer once wayyyyy back in the 80’s. Hell I wasn’t even of drinking age, hanging out with my crazy ass high school Irish friends. Them girls was wild as hell boy!!

So I’m going to brew some green tea and wash my hair with it. They said on GMA that it will take away dandruff and every winter my hair gets soooo super dry and flakey. So I’m hoping this is going to do the trick.

I have been feeling so good these past few weeks and I’m on the go all the time now and that in itself is beyond awesome cause yall know how I was homebound like a mugg!! The weather is supposed to get cold again for the weekend but will gradually start to warm up early next week and I’ll be hittin’ the streets once again. I can’t stand this cold weather. A sista gotta wear 6 layers of clothes to be comfortable and that ain’t right LOL!!!

Still cooking and baking and lovin’ every minute of it. Did I mention I made Turkey a couple of weeks ago? Yeah probably did but you know I suffer from SAS (short attention span) and um can’t remember shit, so pardon me for repeating if I am, ya dig?? From that turkey I also made turkey soup and turkey pot pie and both were super delish and so yummy to my tummy!!! I tell you what though I can not make bread pudding to save my soul!! I tried this recipe from S.and.ra L.ee and baby yuck. I ate a teaspoon of it and threw that sucka in the garbage. Straight up nastiness, gives me shivers it was so gross!!! I’m mad I messed over my ingredients though cause that was 6 slices of raisin bread that could have been utilized in other ways ya know.

This weekend I’m trying out new cake recipes, all *Spl.enda* cause my burfday will be rolling around next month and ya gurl gots to have some cake for her burfday. Wish me luck and it’s a chocolate cake YUM!!!

I’m down 155lbs as of yesterday *Hey, Ho, Hey, Ho* and it feels incredible and I give all the glory to God because without Him it would not be possible. I am eternally grateful for the awesome gift He has given me and I’m loving my life again. The wound is almost closed, no more packing it. I’m just using bandages now which is soooo great!!

On a sad note though my mom’s sister passed yesterday which was totally unexpected and it happened so very quickly. She was suffering with pain but she was Chris.tian Scie.nce and she didn’t believe in doctors or hospitals and didn’t want to go when she had the intense pain but this past week it became too overwhelming and her son convinced her to go to the hospital. Once there they found three tumors in her body. The very next day they were transferring her to another hospital and she went into full cardiac arrest and never was revived. My mom is doing well with the news. I mean it happened so quickly that I don’t think she has had a chance to even accept the fact that she is gone. No plans have been finalized yet. Family members have to come from Vegas, Denver and Georgia so by tomorrow we should know something.

The one thing that I am really, really grateful for is that even though this Aunt didn’t believe in hospitals, she came with mom and stayed the entire day when I had my leg surgery in December. I loveded her for that man because I knew it was against her beliefs. When asked why she was doing it she said simply without fanfare or bickering, “You do what you gotta do.”

Big ups to my Auntie Burt, I love you lady and Rest In Peace!!
