Blog Posts Across OWroundup

Bored at 5 am!

I am sitting in the Education Office for an Overnight Program that I have to supervise and can't seem to get back to sleep. Being in the zoo at night is a totally different thing than in the day! Racoons, snakes, bullfrogs and who knows what else is hiding in the bushes, is keeping me from getting some fresh air. A bit creeepy I must say! Thanks to OW Roundup, I can play while waiting for my campers to awaken at 6am. I have alot to do later today! The goal is to create 10-15 more designs to be d… Continue

Keela's random thoughts on the first 2 hours of the 2008 BET Awards

I'm just saying ... 1. Usher's opening number was just okay ... he's no Jay-Z and Beyonce. I wanted him to sing Moving Mountains. 2. This whole movie theme is getting on my nerves! 3. Was anyone else waiting to see if Chris Brown was going to thank his baby, Rhianna? 4. Who is The Dream (Best New Artist)? Guess I need to unplug my iPod and turn on the radio or actually watch BET for a change. 5. Alicia Keys' hair (wig) ... what was up with that? 6. Bringing back her favorite girl groups wa… Continue

What is going on with ME!

Hello Everyone! I had to take a break from the updates because I had a lot to think about as far as my treatment and care, and I was battling a secondary infection. So I have been a wiped out over the past two weeks – physically and mentally. This is a lot for one person to handle. But I am standing in the word, prayer and faith that He has a plan for me! I was really at a lost when my treatment had been terminated. It was really hard to take the news that the chemotherapy was not working and t… Continue

Class Celebration

Class Celebration Whew! The class of '86 really put it down this weekend!! We started on Friday with a cookout/fish fry at a classmate's house. Ain't nothing like fried fish and red rice on a Friday night! Throw in great friends, lots of laughter, and an endless supply of Tequila and let the good times roll! The birthday party on Satruday night was a great success. Everyone was dressed to impress. We partied until after 1 am. There was plenty to eat and even more to drink. I thank God for my fri… Continue

Celebrating 40

I turned 40 on Sunday, June 8. I've been celebrating the BIG 4-0 all week! The celebration started on Saturday night - dinner at The Cheesecake Factory with an old friend. On Sunday, my children gave me a lovely cake and a Nintendo DS with all the accessories. A good friend also gave me a huge, well stocked basket from Bath and Body works. My office served muffins and bagels for breakfast on Monday and I received several cards and a gift card to TGIFridays! Today, my extended group of friends fr… Continue

President Barack Obama?

It is Tuesday June 3, 2008 and according to the political analyst Barack has enough delegates to secure the Democratic nomination. I wonder ... do you think that America is ready for a "Black Man" to actually be President of these United States? I know he has won some Primaries and some delegates, he is obviously intelligent and politically savvy, but what do you really think is going to happen when the curtain is pulled shut? Just curious.

Before I was a Dj....

I remember right after graduation I said f*ck college! I wanted to be a rapper. I am not sure if many of you remember Phil Kinard. Well he and I started "South Bound Records" the label after recording like millions of demos. We started working with other classmates of ours. We did music with Kenita Pitts (class of 89') and "Groovy" who was also from the class of '89 just to name a few. We recorded our music on a 4 track Tascam analog tape recorder, 4 Radio Shack microphones, and wind poppers mad… Continue

Barcelona, Spain

...What up? I just got back from a 4 day stay in Barcelona, Spain. It was mostly ministry b/c I was there to attend a church conference, but I was able to get some leisure time in there too. Time did not permit for me to hit the beach of Costa Brava (Gerona), but all is well and I recommend it should you decide to visit there. There are some great things to see... ranging from the King of Spain's Hilltop Castle and amazingly detailed Cathedrals to the delicate mix of the Spanish and African cult… Continue

Italy in 8 days...

What up family? How are you? I just completed a week long vacation with my family touring Italy!!!
