Thankful For A Lot, Including My Pandora Stations

Hello all!! I hope this finds you well on this Holiday week. This week we are giving thanks for what we have and where we are, even if it's not what we wished or what we planned to be, because we all know that things could always be worse.

I'm thankful my life, health, transportation, employment, salvation, family, food, clothing and shelter,  friends and good music, especially gospel music. This isn't an all inclusive list but it's a great start.

Today I'm gonna share with you the stations I have created on my Pandora Radio. Pandora allows you to search a genre, artist or song to create a station. The station then plays songs that have similar notes cadences and categories it will not just be music from that individual artist if you chose an artist based station. It allows you to 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' a song. This will help you narrow down what you will hear on this station.

Note that this list is not exclusively Gospel Music, I just wanted to give you an inside look and what I like to listen to. I will put an (*) next to the Gospel Stations that way if you are looking for those artists it'll be easier to pick them out. ;-)

Natural Hair: Is Always a Great Option

I found this News Report very interesting.

My CD Collection - CD cases #2

Good day to you all. I need to catalogue my music collection so I decided to put them in the blog. I think that will be easiest.

I don't own all the music but between me and my siblings we purchase a lot of music. So I have access to all of the music listed.

I am starting with the CD cases because it's easier I will eventually have to move to CD stands and boxes of audio tapes (which may have been repurchased on CD) that we refuse to throw away.

Anyways, if you see something listed and want a review please leave a comment. Have a wonderful and blessed day!!

Listen Up Giovanni Lovers

I tried an online store that is new to me, Vitacost.com. Their Giovanni Products were about 45% off.

I came across this site when I was searching on the Swagbucks.com. Anyone using Giovanni know that the average price range in $7.99 - $9.99 for 8.5 ounces. So I decided to give it a try.

I ordered the following:

Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Shampoo - $4.33
Giovanni 50:50 Conditioner - $4.43
Giovanni Direct Leave in Condition - 2 bottles @ $4.43 = $8.86
Jarrow Formulas Organic Coconut Oil 16 oz - 2 jars  @ $4.36 = $8.72

Order was $26.34 shipping and handling was $4.99 for a grand total of $31.33.
This order was placed on November 4th a lil before midnight. It shipped November 5th in the evening. The package originated from Las Vegas and arrived in Michigan this afternoon via UPS.

My sister opened the box for me because I was curious as to what condition it would arrive in. Each Giovanni bottle was wrapped in plastic then the bottles were put in ziploc bags. The jars of coconut oil was placed on it's lid (which is plastic) they were wrapped and bagged as well and air pillows were strategically placed throughout the box.

If you want check them out. Please note not all items sell that low but $4.99 flat rate shipping is a great deal with the 45% off.

I will definitely be ordering from them again.

What's on Your Playlist!!

Here's a list of what's on my smartphone (Blackberry at the moment ;-)) .
Notice that some of the artists repeat but don't negate the ones that do not because it's not my playlist at this moment doesn't mean its not good. Plus I have an inventory of music to go through and catalogue.

Hopefully this will help those that's looking for a mix of music.

I Need To Get This Off Of My Chest

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! Get to know people before u sleep with them because if you have children together your lives are intermingled FOREVER!!

So much to say but don't want to hurt peoples feelings.

It's just sad when we settle for something for the moment and it affects and possibly ruins some better things that were/are in our future. You know those moments when you are tired of ur singleness. Or your relationship changes and you have to make a decision.

Really take a good hard look at it.

Do I want to be attached to this person or their family for the rest of my life? Will I be ashamed to introduce them around? Am I gettin some benefit from this relationship? Sometimes we are so into not wanting to seem judgmental or uppity and build relationships with people that are not on our level. Then when you realize it your heart is all in it. So then getting out is harder and more difficult.

Also I want everyone to know that just because sexual urges are strong you (mentally) are stronger. God gave us dominion over this world. A lot of time we give in because we are tired of the struggle or feel like its not worth it but it is.

Pregnancy outside of marriage is serious but we have made it such a lite subject. If you are not committed enough or sure of your relationship enough to get married why have sex and risk being attached through a birth of a child or sexually transmitted disease.  Condoms (male or female) are not a hundred percent. That's how people use them and still get pregnant and contract a disease. Also if you are in a relationship with a person and don't trust them, you check the phone and follow behind them like the police or a parent why, WHY would you trust them with your body.

Irresponsible people are irresponsible in almost every area of their lives. They don't go to the doctor and definitely don't know their hiv/aids status, or how to start to want to be a responsible parent. Do you really want them experimenting on their child.

Maybe, just maybe, I'm thinking too much but I love Roscheeta too much. I plan to protect myself and future children from the consequences of my foolish decisions. I think I'm done but people really need to know that we are not dogs. We don't have to run around in heat and behave like uncontrolled animals. God gave man a mind an a cognitive thought process!! I think I'm done be blessed.

There is more to come on this I feel it brewing in my spirit.....
