Only time will tell!Miss Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17279109323716229500noreply@blogger.comBlogger162125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229673490144887171.post-61006528485334728872011-05-24T12:00:00.000-04:002011-05-24T12:00:05.110-04:00The TalkWhen is the perfect time to have "the talk"? I would think it's good to have "the talk" multiple times throughout the courtship and/relationship. I actually got this idea from a guy that I dated briefly, we were embarking on 3 months of dating and he wanted to evaluate the relationship. Lucky for us both, that evaluation saved us a lot of time and heart break because we decided that we didn't have the chemistry needed for what we both were looking for: a healthy relationship. <br />
<br />
"The talk" is not something that puts pressure on a person but it helps both parties see whether or not the relationship is a waste of time. I promised myself from now on, I apply this method to whomever I am seeing for more than one reason. For one, I am not dating for fun--I am dating for keeps. For two, I want a family, I want to marry my best-friend. Therefore, it's very important to me that that both parties are on the same page.<br />
<br />
I have notice that Mr. J is so caught up on--enjoying what we have and that's all good but let us not forget the future.....To be continued.Miss Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17279109323716229500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229673490144887171.post-63976167095680612852011-05-24T08:00:00.000-04:002011-05-24T08:00:00.230-04:00The Little Things #1<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--> <m:smallfrac m:val="off"> <m:dispdef> <m:lmargin m:val="0"> <m:rmargin m:val="0"> <m:defjc m:val="centerGroup"> <m:wrapindent m:val="1440"> <m:intlim m:val="subSup"> <m:narylim m:val="undOvr"> </m:narylim></m:intlim> </m:wrapindent><!--[endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"

<br />
Disclaimer: To Maintain The Privacy of All Parties Involved--Names Will Be Altered.<br />
<br />
Seeing this wasn't the first date but it the first "real" date that Mr. J and I been on, I was very comfortable around him and it was clear that I enjoyed his company.We went to this nice seafood restaurant near the city, since we both have a love for oysters we decided to meet up after work. I am proud to say that the date started off very well. He ordered for me (I think that's sexy because we already discussed what I wanted) and we ALWAYS have great conversation. So as the night we on--we continued to eat, drink and talk. Before we both realized, it was 11:30pm and we met at 7:15pm. After he walked me to my car (southern gentleman) he asked if I wanted to come back to his house. Since I have been to his house a few times before, I did think nothing of it. So I ended up going to his house where the good date I was on, was crumbling before my brown eyes!<br />
<br />
Now I am all for honesty so we had a impromptu honesty hour and it was rather intense, to say the least. I was able to share something with him and he shared some things with me--some important details. LIKE HE IS STILL KICKING IT WITH HIS EX.<br />
<br />
Let's rewind for a second: Before finally deciding to go out with Mr. J, I had met him twice before. And they say three time's a charm, right? Well that's what I was hoping for too! But the first time in 2010 I met him at a local hangout in the city and he told me he had a girlfriend. At least he was honest, but I didn't entertain him. I am person who don't like to date men who are married or have girlfriends--that's just me. Karma is a trick and will come back for you. With that being said every time I ran into him--I asked him about his girlfriend. But the third time--Mr. J told me that he was single. Now he didn't lie--but he could have added that he is NOT OVER his ex.<br />
<br />
Back to present day, I don't like to date men who have the CASE OF THE EX. I mean we have all been there, believe you-me I know what it is like and it's NO FUN! It can also prevent you from what the future holds. Anywho, last night it came out that Mr. J still had feeling for his ex. This really changed the dynamics of our situation because I was literally--mentally done with him. However, he didn't want to be done with me. But I see it like this, Mr. J wanted to have his cake and eat it too!<br />
<br />
Peep the scenario: He has his ex--who he is comfortable with and they have history. Then he has me: "New-New" who he has great conversation with, great chemistry and plus it's new. So what's a girl to do? Drop his ass like a hot potato? Or Take things slow and risk him going back to where his heart is?<br />
<br />
Don't get it twisted, I like Mr. J and he is definitely a keeper thus far! Oh it doesn't hurt that he's a looker too! Just a good man with a MESSED up situation. Hopefully I will be able to make some type of decision regarding what I am going to do but for now I am going to sit back and enjoy the ride , oh and his company!!Miss Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17279109323716229500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229673490144887171.post-66815510447624675072011-05-23T15:13:00.000-04:002011-05-23T15:13:14.726-04:00The Missing PiecePicnics are something that I love to have with people that I truly like. The concept of being in a peaceful place where you can marvel over one another and learn about each others likes and dislike is such a beautiful thing.<br />
<br />
Mr. J and I went on a picnic, while it was beautiful something was missing. Before I go any further I must say--I really like Mr. J but I wouldn't mind being exclusive with him. **Gasp** Yes, I am admitting this but I have chosen to accept our relationship of uncommitted courtship until "HE" is ready to move forward.<br />
<br />
Now this IS the story of my life--being ready to move forward while the guy is simply enjoying the perks of having a girlfriend without the title. Am I allowing the cycle to continue? And how do I break it? I know what I want but not quite sure how to obtain or maintain it for that matter. <br />
<br />
So as we ate our picnic snacks-all I could do was look at the sky and wonder how long is it going to take this man to see we are "two of a kind;"--maybe six months, hell maybe even a year. Am I willing to play the <i><b>uncommitted courtship</b> </i>game for that long? That is the question I must ask myself while I am on the journey, before I let another four years of my life pass me by......Miss Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17279109323716229500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229673490144887171.post-48678148606732806372011-05-23T13:36:00.001-04:002011-05-23T14:08:55.849-04:00A Change Has Come........."We need to have bi-weekly lunches because your life is always changing". That is what a long time friend recently said to me and she was absolutely correct. The man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with is no longer in the picture and I am living my life as a single female; and I am happy about it. <br />
<br />
Here's a brief update: <br />
<br />
I brought a house. I got a dog. I ended a 4 year plus relationship. I finished grad school. I dated a few losers. I lost a best friend (no she is not dead). I gained a few great friends. Gained many associates. Found a great guy, who I am currently dating and we are in a uncommitted courtship. <br />
<br />
So there you have it, my life is ever changing and so is my blog. While my life will and always be considered a <i>Chaotic Bliss<b></b></i>--I would like to blog more about my love life or there lack of. So without further ado, my new blog is entitled Uncommitted Courtship! Hope you enjoy!<br />

</div>I love erasers! There I said it. I LOVE ERASERS! I know many of you may think I am a loony and/or psycho but I have a love for erasers. Please, don’t judge we all have our quirks and this is just ONE of mine! Not many people know about my secret love for this rubber stationary that is used for removing pencil and some pen writings. I actually have a secret love for erasers, they are so unique and very handy. I believe that my reasons for loving erasers stem from me wanting to erase all the bad and replace it with good.<br />
<br />
Erasers are used to edit pencil writings making them disappear, sometimes I wish I can use an eraser and make the world a more serene and peaceful place. Erase the world’s poverty, erase the recession, erase the hate, erase the violence, and erase evil people. You get my drift……. <br />
<br />
<br />
If you could erase something, what would you erase?<br />

In this time of need, strengthen me. You are my strength and my shield; You are my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I know, Father, that Your eyes go to and fro throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts long for You. The body grows weary, but my hope is in You to renew my strength.<br />
I do not fear, for You are with me.<br />
I am not dismayed or overwhelmed, for You are my God. I know You will strengthen me and help me; that You will uphold me with Your righteous hand. Even as the shadows of illness cover me, I feel the comfort of Your strength, Or Lord.<br />
Amen.</span><br />

Initially, I was really apprehensive about seeing The Book of Eli but I am happy that I did. This movie was by far one the best I’ve seen content wise.<br />
<br />
I am not going to reveal the movie for those who haven’t seen it but it is definitely a conversation piece. All the actors were great, especially Denzel. I immediately smelled an Oscar cooking while I was watching this film and the Hughes brothers are very talented directors. There were so many parallels dealing with sin, power and faith—this book would make a great paper or independent study topic.<br />
<br />
I walked in the theater oblivious to the fact that some people use the word of God as a way to try and take over the world—negatively. I walked out of the theater realizing that my faith is my life. My faith represents me and the scripture (The Word of God) protects me from evil doers. The Book Of Eli is a masterpiece.<br />

Right now I am reading Jane Austen: Persuasion and I will be reading more books in the near future, so bare with me folks. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Pledge Is As Follows: We support the printed word in all its forms: newspapers, magazines and, of course, books. We think reading on computers or phones or whatever is fine, but it cannot replace the experience of reading words printed on paper. We pledge to continue reading the printed word in the digital era and beyond.<br />

<br />
As I prepare mentally and spiritually to go back to grad school, I need you all to pray for me! Over the holidays my life has taken a turn, not anything detrimental but it was shaken up a bit. Along with the New Year, I had some decisions to make. Basically I cleaned house! Those who wasn't supportive, or who were negative had to go. People who kept me down, had to go too! Sometimes starting over can be scary but it can be good for your soul! So with that being said, just keep me in your prayers and everything will be fine!<br />
<br />
BTW: Here's a great testimony that I heard on the radio two days ago and it was right on time (I know T.D. Jakes did this sermon a few years back)--seeing that I had just cleaned house for the New Year! Enjoy!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">There are people who can walk away from you. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">LET THEM GO!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You've got to know when it's dead. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of goodbye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in goodbye. It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">LET THEM GO!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am taking on this mantra for 2010. The statement is very bold and speaks volumes and I LOVE IT! As I was doing a little New Years Resolution Searching I decided to scrap the whole Resolutions thing and just have a set mantra that I will follow throughout the year. After looking at my teaser New Year Resolution list; at least two out of the three things on the list will occur. I will be teaching at the college level this summer and I will be running a small marathon. The other two: graduating from my master's program and getting married--well one is bit of a stretch ( I let you guys decide on which one). Lol But I will set my normal goals and do my best achieving them with the help of my 2010 Mantra "GO BIG OR GO HOME"!<br />
</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i>With that being said I hope you all have a Happy and Safe New Year! </i><br />

Guess Santa thought I was a bad girl this year, because I did not get everything I want but nonetheless, I am blessed! :) But now we are heading into the new year and I am trying to get my thoughts together on my New Year's Resolutions and my goals for the new year 2010! So while I continue doing a bit of <i>Resolution Searching</i> I will leave you with a<a href="http://lifeislikechaoticbliss.blogspot.com/2009/11/teaser-out-with-old-in-with-newnew.html"> teaser</a> of my New Year Resolutions. <i>CIAO! </i><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Are you making some cookies for Santa? Well I know I am! Being a fan of sugar cookies, I am sure Santa will be a fan of them too! Since I don't have the title of the "World's Greatest Baker" I decided to turn to the great <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Soft-Christmas-Cookies/Detail.aspx">All Recipes Website,</a> where I found a great sugar cookie recipe. Hope you enjoy it! <br />
</div><br />
<i>Sidenote: I will let you all know how my version turned out or better yet I will see if Santa could leave a quick note before he goes off into the night!</i><br />

<br />
* 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour<br />
* 1 teaspoon baking powder<br />
* 1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
* 1 cup margarine, softened<br />
* 1 1/2 cups white sugar<br />
* 2 eggs<br />
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract<br />
<br />
Directions<br />
<br />
1. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Gradually blend in the sifted ingredients until fully absorbed. Cover dough, and chill for 2 hours.<br />
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. On a clean floured surface, roll out small portions of chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes using cookie cutters.<br />
3. Bake 6 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are barely brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks.<br />

I am back from my vacation, school is officially done for the semester and I feel really good! <br />
<br />
<i>Sidebar: It felt really good just typing it! </i><br />
<br />
Nevertheless with the holidays ahead things will continue to be extremely busy! And I have a few things on my to-do list, including FINISH CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! Yes, I realize Christmas is next week but I thought that I would switch things up this year and brave the madness of Christmas Eve. Lol That's right, instead of being prepared and completing my shopping early I will be toiling through all the left over merchandise. So if you are expecting a gift from me, I don't have it yet and won't have it until Christmas Eve!<br />

Yes, it sounds a bit funny when I hear or say it but I kind of like the concept. It is interesting that woman always have to have a visual that connects them to something. When women get pregnant we have a huge belly. When we get engaged, we get a ring. Whereas, men get off a bit easy, if I must say! So yes, I say put a man-ring on it; he’s yours for life right? <b>Love It! </b><br />

I guess we would call it a lifesaver but this letterpress starter kit is only (wait a minute, are you sitting down) $69.00. That’s a great steal! So if you are a DIY Diva or a Budget Honey, you may want to check this out! <br />

<b>Disclaimer: I support all types of businesses, especially the wedding stationary industry. However, I am aware that letterpress does not fit everyone's budget. So when I see a good deal I have to put it up, especially in this economy! </b><br />

</div>This would make the perfect wedding gift/token to a newly wed couple. This message speaks volumes and can touch the lives of a newly wed couple--especially on the stormy days. I know that when I get married, I will definitely have this blown up or even reprinted and hang it up in a spare room or an office space! It's great motivation and inspiration. <br />

</div>Yes, that's right I, Chaotic Bliss whom world is nothing but Chaotic was awarded the Fabulous Sugar Doll award. If you can't tell, I am very, very excited and quite honored! So I guess I have to take the torch and tell a few quirky things about myself.<br />
<br />
1. I'm a handbag addict! I own over 200 handbags; don't judge, they are ALL too hott to let go!<br />
2. I can't go to bed without socks on! I like to be comfy!!! :)<br />
3. I have to have a cup a coffee a day! It keeps me sane!<br />
4. I found my husband now I just need to get the bling.<br />
5. My current pet peeve is when people don't use there and their correctly in a sentence. (My Pet Peeves change daily)<br />
6. I have to watch the news every night. As a former news producer I like to know what's going on in my community and most importantly I love to critique the news.<br />
7. The office that I work in could easily pass for "The Office" the television show.<br />
8. My favorite holiday is Christmas because I enjoy getting gifts! (Once again don't judge, I am being honest)<br />
9. If I could, I would eat Thai food everyday of my life.<br />
10. I love meeting new bloggers via cyberspace and making new blog friends! (SHOUT OUT TO <a href="http://westsidewedding.blogspot.com/">WESTSIDE BRIDE</a> )<br />
