Backing up from Target parking lot, I look over my shoulder right, then left and proceed to begin backing up cautiously.  As I back out, I look over my right then left again and see nothing so proceed.  I look into the rearview mirror and see a black car whizz behind me - extremely close!  I honk and they have the nerve to honk.  We both proceed out of the Target parking lot, me behind them. I decide I’d like to get his license plate number and consider reporting him, so when he makes a left, I do as well.  After a while he pulls over.  By then, I decide to leave it alone, and continue on my way home.  Until I notice he’s behind me. 

So, refusing to allow him to follow me home, I pull over and sure enough he is following me.  I stop my car and he gets in front of me and pulls over.  I get out of my car and approach him and he begins to drive away, but instead loops around and comes toward me asking if I have a problem.  I inform him that I indeed do and that it is with him driving behind me when I’m backing out.  He counters with it is my responsibility to look behind me.  He says ‘so you feel the need to follow me’ and I respond ‘I sure do’.  He says, fine, then I’ll take your license plate.  I tell him fine, because I already have his, which is why I was following him.  I said ‘why don’t you give me your drivers license number as well?'.  He says fine, yet proceeds to drive off. 

I wait to make sure he’s gone before I continue on home.

OK... sure it isn't completely wise to follow someone, but he caught me at the wrong time.  Now... should I call the police and make a record of the incident or let it go?

If you could perform alongside any artist (actor, dancer, musician, etc.), who would it be, and what would you perform?

... interesting...

As I've said many times before ~ I love my job!  What's more, I adore my boss.  She is ultra fair (extremely) and pleasant.  Of course like anyone, she has faults, but her good points, IMHO far outweigh her bad.

So...

I am a lil concerned when I feel she is being ... what's the word... maybe badmouthed.  In fact, my gut is that there are some here who wouldn't mind  her not being here.  That frightens me.  Even one of my closest co-workers seems to say some things in mixed company (outside our dept) that I don't think she should.

So...

A part of me is thinking I should tell her of what is going on behind her back.  Another part is thinking I should keep my nose out of it altogether.  I struggle with this every time someone says something I feel is uncalled for.  Even if they are correct, I don't feel the 'offense' is strong enough to be making waves out of it.

So...

What would you do?

Last Sunday, out of the blue, I decided to finally order some business cards.  It's been, oh, about 3 years in the making ~ LOL.  I got them from 48hrprint.com because they offer affordable full color printing.  Anyway, I was so excited when I saw UPS drive up ~ hee hee.  Have one:

Quality is great.  So I'm pleased.

AND

I finally launched my website!  It's pretty much just a skeleton of what I had planned to do, but the thing I'm realizing is, it's important to get started!  So that's what I launched... my 'starter' website *smile*.

Have a wonderfully refreshing weekend!

If only you could be a fly on the dashboard in my ride.  You would hear pretty consistently, this tune by Jill Scott which features the legendary George Duke.  Even more appealing though, is my over doing Jill.  I mean, sure, she is the professional and all.  But when I am alone in my care - there is basically nothing you can tell me.

Well... since you can't hear the three of us groove, you may as well check out my girl Jill do it to it (sounding like my dad LOL) with George...  LOOOOOOVE THE electric guitar situation (thanks Fresh)

I'm a web designer who specializes in ecards and banner ads at work.  Just felt like sharing the evolution of a combo ecard for various latin acts through out the remainder of the year.  Mind you, this project was started last week and only got approved today in revision 3!  LOL  Still... I L - O - V - E my job!

I may be ego trippin.  I may be in tantrum mode.  Maybe I just wanna do what I wanna do.

I sing at my church.  We have a group of approx. 12 that breaks down in alternating weeks to 6 (so everyone doesn't get worn out).  Our minister decided that we would rehearse with some sister congregations that have groups that are thriving, to basically up our game.  Which is fine.  He had mentioned one would be a group called Psallo, which i immediately got excited about cause I love their style (think Fred Hammond w/o music).  However, he approaches me after service and proceeds to tell me I've been picked for a special group that will be rehearsing with Willie Norwood (Brandy's dad).  Now... no disrespect, but that is not my steelo, desire, nada.  I wanna get my Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary on, not Mahalia Jackson! LOL  (I"m laughing at that, but I'm not).

So I'm thinking.  I'm tripping.  I mean, I do stand to learn something from Mr. Norwood right?  if nothing else, maybe he'll let me sing back up on Brandy's next CD?  heh... yeah, I'm trippin...
