It's My Life...And I'm Doin Me Now!

I must of made an entry in my other journal the other day about my cousin that I let move in for a little while. Well....HE IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!! I knew I was going to regret this. Dayum! He is funking up my house. I literally have to lite inscents, spray air freshner, open windows, and close the door to the room he is sleeping in!! This is no exaggeration. This is mainly due to his breathe. His sister and brother, they all have this problem. At night, when they sleep with their mouth wide open, they funk the entire room up. Then he gets up and opens the door and leaves it wide open, and the funk spreads to the hallway. I'm really trying to be patient, but I feel like I am going to snap very soon. But I need him around until the end of June because while I go out of town for my nephew's graduation, he is supposed to take care of my dog for me! Which it seems he will do fine with that, because he walks my dog faithfully every day for me, so I am grateful for that. So, you see my dilema?! I am also trying to be more patient with him because way back in the day, about 24 years ago when I was 18 y.o., his mother (my aunt) helped me out and let me stay with her (because I could not live another day inthehouse with my father). Difference being, I was not a problem for them at all.....I actually improved their home environment because I actually cleaned up their house. Kept the bathroom cleaned, as well as the kitchen, and livingroom areas. You know shit had to be bad at my house for me to move in with them and they kept a nasty house!!!

TRACE's Interests:

About Me: Myself and my brother were both born in Los Angeles and Compton, but raised in New York. Both my sisters were born here in New York. I have a 14 y.o. daughter, soon to be 15, born 1 day b4 my b-day & we share the same name but spelt differently; we are 30 years apart in age!! I am not with her father, but we "try" to be civil. I am graduating this Saturday from ITT Tech; getting my 2nd Associates Degree. And I am now considering taking an online course to get a bachelor's degree in Construction Management. I have a sister that lives in VA, and I recently lost my brother to cancer. He was 11 months older than me. I lost an older sister back in 1977 to kidney disease (she was 17 when she passed); 11 months before that we lost our dearest grandmother very tragically. My dad lives in VA, and I live in NY with my mom, as I have to keep an eye on her. she is getting up there in age--driving me nuts....Lol. I like a little innocent gossip every now & again...but you didn't hear that from me!! And I am very opinionated and trying to learn to control that...Lol...I'm laughin cause...it ain't workin out! As you can tell...I like a good laugh but I know how and when to be serious. I am so serious when it comes to my daughter & two nephews. I am a strong woman (very thick skin) but can be sensitive at times. My most embarrassing moment: I'll just say...putting my foot in my mouth (done that a couple of times). Remember I am opinionated!! I really have to concentrate on learning that less is best! People I miss dearly: Toni & Dee, Grandma Emily & Grandma Lela; my girl cousins that always looked out fo' me--Lisa, Gail, Natalie...and so many more family members...R.I.P. yall. There is one other person I miss with all my heart....but I refuse to speak on it!!!! That is my story and I am sticking to it....LOL!

Interests: I like to go see a good movie, take my daughter out and treat her to lunch or dinner, or a little shopping spree when I can. I like to go out to happy-hour maybe once or twice a year. I enjoy laughing at my crazy-behind nephews! Messing around on the computer putting together home-made videos to music. Another passion I have is sluething, investigative stuff (getting into people bizzness & bringing out the skeletons)...Lol. I want to learn how to build computers; and I want to eventually get into remodeling homes one day. Doing anything that will improve my situation. Therefore, my #1 focus in my life....getting better acquainted with....My Lord & Savior and being the best Saint I can be!! Yes...that's right--I am there!

Favorite Music: Old School & New Skool, R&B / Hip-Hop / Rap, Classic Soul, Easy Listening (sometimes), and definitely gospel. Artists such as the ultimate sexy crooner--Keith Sweat!!
