Cellulite!

Yes I know! Cellulite is an ugly word and it became even more uglier when I realized that I saw some of it on my own body! Where did that come from!

I prided myself on having a very firm body but lately I have noticed that certain areas of my body are not so firm!

Looks like its time to go to a gym or just to exercise more!

I think one of the areas that women are most concerned with is that flabby part of the upper arms. I know that there are exercises to help firm up that part of the body and I'm going to have to have a look around to find out what those exercises are! Another problem area - the thighs! I was most proud of my legs and now my thighs are going to need some firming up too!

I am in my mid 40's and I just never thought that this kind of thing would happen to me. Naive - huh?

I Really Have To Get Over My Loathing Of Doing My Income Taxes!

I should be grateful that I'm getting any income in the first place!

Second of all I think that I am the one who is just making it complicated!

I have 3 tax forms that I have to fill out yearly as far as my income taxes go! I have a local income tax called an Earned Income tax which is having to pay a local tax on one's income. Of course I have the state income tax. And last but not least there is the federal income tax forms that I have to fill out.

Believe it or not I have already completed two of them and I have one more left to go - which is my state income tax. I'm missing one form so I can either call and get the form mailed to me or I can download a copy of their income tax form from their website.

I really should be happy that I'm getting a refund as opposed to having to pay any taxes on my income.

But really I think I'm the one that is making the whole thing complicated!

Omarosa Manigault Stallworth

I am afraid that this is one person that I do not like!

She is definitely not a good role model for black women!

Oh Aches And Pains!

I was going up the steps and I realized just how tired it made me! Much as I hate to face it I am getting older! - Yuck!

I tire a lot more easily and I have come to the conclusion that it might be a good idea for me to take naps more often - Isn't that a terrible thing to realize?

I also think I'm beginning to see why people have so much trouble with their hips! There have been times when I have laid down and after some time wanting to get up and my hip just says NO!

I'm also thinking about exercising more. I live in an area where I could take walks to the store, to the mailbox or even to some of the other places in the neighborhood. I see people all the time that live in my area taking walks just for the sake of taking walks and more and more it seems to be a good idea for me to do it too!

I have to face it - I'm getting older (and hopefully better!)
