More Than A Year Later....

I'MMMMM BACCKKKKK!! LOL! FOR REAL THIS TIME! GIVING UPDATES SHORTLY! MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Sleep

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:36:00 +0000

To tell you the truth, I don’t know anything about natural sleep aids. I tried them a few times, along with the over the counter ones. They never worked for me. I need the real stuff. Xanax is my friend when I’m in need of some serious sleep. Although, since I’ve been back in Atlanta, I haven’t needed any assistance. Yay for me!

Work

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:32:00 +0000

Not a secret that I’m not loving my job right now! But, I’m in Atlanta and I have a job. It was back to the fitness industry for me, as soon as I got here. Recently I was placed in a club that has no traffic, and right now I have no clue what I’m going to do. Today we are waiting on our direct mail marketing pieces to drop. Maybe then something will pop. Until then…I frown!

Back to My "HOME"

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:45:00 +0000

Can't wait til I get “home”! Atlanta that is! Atlanta has been my home forever! Why I kept trying to deny it is beyond me! I can't wait to get into the garden sized tub and take a REAL shower, with the shower faucet head on HIGH!! Why does it seem that the water pressure in NYC is so much softer than in Atlanta?

Getting Nothing Done!

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:38:00 +0000

Having a billion things to do before moving really stinks! I am still job searching to try to keep myself from ending up in the fitness industry. I know it'll be the fastest way for me to find a job, but I'd rather not!! For some reason, even though I know I have all these things to do, I haven't really been able to do anything! I even came into work today, armed with my laptop & …..NOTHING! I need to correct this asap!

Work

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:32:00 +0000

I am currently working for a web development company...at least for the next two weeks I am! LOL! I'm moving back to Atlanta! Yayy!! But as much as I can say that I'm so happy to be leaving this place, I can't deny that I have learned a lot about development and the importance of online backup. You always need a back up for your back up!

Another Job in the A

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:56:00 +0000

Choosing to move back to Atlanta in this economy, right now, isn't really the best move for anyone. And yet, I'm doing it. Unfortunately it's going to land me right back into the industry that I don't want to be in! Back to the gym, messing with fitness equipment, heavy sigh! Not what I want, but at least I know I can get a job, quickly, when I get there!

Moving Back 2 ATL!

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:53:00 +0000

In about 3 weeks I'll be headed out to re-start my life in Atlanta. The nerves are starting to kick in. Probably because I have to wait for a specific amount of time before I can just head out. My bf says that he can already see us in our new house. With me sitting on the patio chairs, our son playing around & him cutting the grass. Praying that his and our vision comes true!

Easier to Have a Meeting from Home...

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 03:20:00 +0000

Why do people have board meetings where you have to commute into a building to sit for an hour when you can log on from any computer and have a live chat. What’s the use of burning up expensive fuel, finding parking, & wasting time & energy if you can do it all from home? Wouldn’t having a live chat be the smartest and greenest way to go?

Other Ways to Find Me

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:55:00 +0000

I'm going back and looking at my older posts and realizing how long it's been since I've blogged. I HAD NO IDEA IT HAD BEEN SO LONG! I need to get you all up to speed. The easiest way for me to do this is for you to have my Twitter info...FOLLOW ME @.... http://twitter.com/AmberAnique, or on my latest business venture, http://twitter.com/GhosTwitterPro.
Even if you're following me on Twitter, I'm gonna do my best to keep you updated via Blogger!

MUCH LOVE!!

Assistance Needed For LSAT

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:49:00 +0000

I know a few people, myself included, who are considering becoming attorney's. While it may seem rather late in life, it's just now that we are really paying attention to our PURPOSE! So, for all of my friends, consider taking some LSAT prep courses. I've been researching it a lot as of late and it can't hurt to learn more and be better prepared!

New Stuff

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:36:00 +0000

Ok, I think it's safe to say that I'm BACK...AGAIN!! LMBO!! So much has been going on, don't even know where to begin. So, what I'll do is keep posting until it all comes out! Does that work? Or, I can invest in some really cool video surveillance equipment, so you all can see what's going on! Nah, I think I'll stick with the posting!

Finances

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 14:32:00 +0000

If your not stressing your finances, then hats off to you! Maybe I’m stressing because I’m not working, or maybe it’s that since I’m not working I pay more attention to where my money is going. Either way, money is scarce, everywhere!!
If you live in New York, and have a car, you’re paying for parking, HIGH GAS PRICES, and maybe even a car note. Small tip, there are some things that you may not be able to control, like gas prices, but there are others, like auto insurance that you should really be able to search for and get a decent deal. Don’t give in to just anyone….control the controlables!

The 4-Hour Work Week

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 21:39:00 +0000

So, I haven't been blogging, but I have been reading...A LOT! The latest book is the 4-Hour Work Week. For those of you that know me, you know that the title ALONE was enough to catch my interest! As I started to read the book, I found out that I should be doing the most obvious thing and work for myself. There are some people that can just do their job, and work for someone else. I am not one of those people. And, as far as I can see, the majority of my close friends are EXACTLY LIKE ME!! I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING FOR THE MAN!!! It's become more clear to me within the last 2 weeks.

I lost my job, but I was MISERABLE anyway! Each day, as I walked into the gym, I would curse myself! I was trying to hang in there and tell myself that I should be grateful that I even have a job, as there are so many people today without one. But, at one point I had to remind myself when I was unemployed last year..I WAS SO MUCH HAPPIER!! Now isn't the best time to be without a job...but, then again, when is it a good time!?

Buy Me A House!

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 17:07:00 +0000

It looks like my time will be coming to own my own place within the next year or so. While I still have the economic fear, it only makes sense to try to obtain a mortgage while the interest rates are low. My excitement to buy sinks, cabinets, or even pick out the hardwood floor is overwhelming! But, in order to do all of this, I have to cut back on my spending EVEN MORE!! I have to go on a B***et....yup, I'm still allergic to that word, but at least I know I can do it!

Hello...AGAIN!

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:31:00 +0000

It's been so long since I've been able to write a post. PC's just don't do it for me, & using my BlackBerry just didn't seem right. I finally got my computer fixed! That's what's been keeping me from you all! So much has changed since the computer meltdown. My bf & I are doing AMAZINGLY WELL, despite every obstacle that has been put in our way. We are about to start looking for a new apartment, hopefully within the next month. With a new place comes a new bed...either a pillow top, or a sleep number bed. Whatever it is, it will have to be a king size, or maybe even a California king. We don't take up much space, but we enjoy having the option of not sleeping underneath each other all of the time.

Welcome Back...

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:15:00 +0000

I know, I've been distant. I've got a lot going on with me personally that has kept me VERY OCCUPIED!

Not having easy access to my laptop, because it crashed, has really put me at a disadvantage.

I've decided to go back to work full time. I got a great opportunity to be the manager at a gym in Union Square. I accepted the position, and I start in a week. Of course, I'll have to take another break from school so I can work...which sucks big time, but, in the end, it should be beneficial. Finals are this coming week. Looking forward to getting them over with!

About 2 weeks ago we had to put Hunter, the family dog(baby), to sleep. That was a very hard thing to do. But, we are coping as best as a family could. I still question why he isn't barking when I open the front door...but, then I remember that he isn't here anymore.

As of Monday, my bf and I are on a "break". What I've recently come to see is that he doesn't deal with negative change very well. Where I may be upset, sad, or even emotional for a day or so, or maybe more, I still see the need to keep it moving. I have Faith that everything will work out. I found that he has a more difficult time with this.
I don't think he see's himself as a "man", no matter what I say to him.
He decided that it was best that we go our separate ways...although, it wasn't said quite that nicely.

Seasons Are A Changin'

Still Here

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:09:00 +0000

I know I've been MIA for a little while...had some LIFE changes.
Doing a little bit better now.
I haven't purchased my new computer as of yet, but I will be doing so sometime in December. Until then, I'll either be sending via BlackBerry, or using my parents PC...which I'm doing now, and let me tell you IT HURTS!!!
I AM ANTI-PC & PRO MAC....but, I'll have to deal with it for the time being.
I've got a couple pics for you from a wedding that James & I went to recently...if I can just figure out how to get the images onto the computer from the camera...Macs aren't this difficult.

Keep you posted! MUCH LOVE!!

Talk About Neglect

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 17:55:00 +0000

I've been neglecting ALL of my blogs, & my blog family due to the fact that I have no computer.
Yes, my "baby" crashed on me & I hae no clue what to do with myself. I feel like I have been cast off from the rest of the world! I have a BlackBerry, but it's just not the same. It's no where near the same.
Now I feel sad all the time.
I'm not working full-time, so purchasing a new computer is out of the question. I'm gonna start looking on Craigslist for a deal on a second hand computer that will at least take me through the next couple of months.
I'll try to update you all as much as possible.
Oh, the bf & I went to a wedding last weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to post the pics soon, & give you the story behind it.
Later!!

What's New

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 14:40:00 +0000

A WHOLE LOT! LOL!
First let me start by saying thank you to all of those who have emailed, called, posted comments, & as always, kept me in your prayers! It's all helped me keep my sanity & focus!
I took a leave of absence from school for a little bit to get myself together...have no fear, I'll be going back in December, come hell or high water.
Most recently, my mother has moved from Vegas, to Atlanta, to NYC. Those that know me understand where my head is at when it comes to her & the situation. Not stressing it though...we are keeping our distance, or rather, I am keeping my distance in order to keep the peace. However, this past Saturday, she callled me asking if she could go to church with me. While in TOTAL SHOCK...I agreed, and was actually happy when she pulled up to the house. It went well. Although, the first 30 minutes, she spent eyeing men. Not sure if she'll attend again, but at least I was able to do something that no one in my family has ever successfully accomplished!
Bf & I are still together. Rocky at times, but I think that happens in relationships, no? Been almost a year...a year in 2 mths...WOW!!!
Also, in 2 months & 4 days, I'll be turning 29. All I keep saying is, "I'm almost 30!". Clearly you can see I'm not excited for the age I'm turning, however, I've been truly blessed to have been given an extra day, no less an extra year! So overall, looking forward to another birthday. And, yes, before you ask...THERE WILL BE A COUNTDOWN! LMBO! It will start November 6th. :)
That's it for now. If something else pops up, I'll be sure to let you know.
Ciao for now!!

Mac-less

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 00:37:00 +0000

I'm without Mac "child"... I'm so unhappy!
My laptop crashed on me about 2wks ago and since then I've been lost! I've never been without her this long. Anytime I thought I'd be out of the house for an entire day, or more, I took her with me. Now, I've got nothing! I know this sounds extremely dramatic, but I know, at the very least, all of my Mac family understands. I still have my Blackberry, so I've got a little something, but it's just not the same.
Tomorrow one of my bf's friends is gonna come over & take a look at her. I pray he can convince her to come back to me. Otherwise, I AM SO SCREWED!!!

What To Do?

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:02:00 +0000

What do you do when your computer crashes? Do you crash with it?
I'm am posting from a PC right now & it's making me sick to my stomach!

MOVING

noreply@blogger.com (Amber Anique) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:10:00 +0000

This time, I'm moving for real!!! I've decided to stay in NYC for a little while longer. I've already accepted 2 jobs, which is a must if I want to stay in NYC, and make it. Adding the 2 salaries together, I should be able to survive! What I'm looking for now is a studio or one bedroom apartment in the Jamaica, Queens area. I want to be as close to the subway so I won't have any issues with transportation. My bf and I spend entirely too much money on "dollar" vans/wk. I'm looking to move by, if not before my birthday, which is December 6th for all those who want to know, lol!
Soon, I'll be decorating and looking for some modern bedroom furniture, so I'll be able to toss the current stuff...he doesn't know this yet. Decorating is always something I look forward to doing!
