Today has been a loooooong day! My morning was going pretty cool at first. I was making love to my iced coffee, lol minding my business, my phone rang, I answered, and reindeer games began to commence. I am not gonna put all that out up here, but I learned today that nobody should have to argue or cuss over what they know to be theirs. You say he's dating you? Cool. Why call me and yell all in my ear. If he's "your man" why fuss? I am certainly not going to raise my pressure trying to stroke anyone's ego. I hung up, counted backwards from 100 and focused on how blessed I am, looked around my office and remembered the phrase, "What is for me is for me. Like that I got back to the business of making money :)
I had a very relaxing weekend. Saturday I hung with Hazel, Sunday I hung out with J. We went to a cookout at the home of a couple he used to work with and I had a ball. It was nice to talk to some other mothers and trade stories and tips. Certainly a great time.
Because I played hard yesterday I was exhausted today, so I'm going to bed dumb early, so I get up tomorrow and do it all over again. Productivity never felt so good....

Conversations
My day was the equivalent of finding 100 dollars in the street! Prayer truly changes things, and I am so grateful for all that I have.
I had a chance to spend some time with J, and as usual we laughed and ate. We also started watching Red Tails, but I could not enjoy it because I was experiencing THE worst stomach pain because I decided to eat some steak after not having red meat in about 2 months. J nursed me back to health with alka seltzer (yuck!) and I am feeling much better.
Short post this evening....I have a long "to do" list and I need to get it all done!

Confession Time
Today I went to the local library and got myself a shiny new library card! I went to the smaller of the libraries in the county because my GPS directed me there, lol. I checked out some IT books and one other book. The other book was Steve Harvey's "Straight Talk, No Chaser." If you know me, you know I was not a big supporter of his first book. I didn't want to think like a man, ain't I a woman(see what I did there)? Anyways, I have read a little bit of it and I'll admit, it's some good stuff there. Most of it is common sense, but it's true nonetheless. It would have really been a help when I was trying to understand my ex husband's reindeer games.
This weekend I got all the "t" on where to go for fun in DC. I love an occasional club night like anyone, but lounges are becoming my thing in my old age. A friend put me on to all the places on U street and they are all my types of places. Of course there is Busboys and Poets various open mic nights that I am looking forward to attend and maybe even participate in. The event I am really saving all my love for is hip hop karaoke at LiV. Y'all....90's hip-hop.....me....liquor....they might as well call it Miss Page: The Adolescent Years Soundtrack. Plus, this week is a tribute to MCA....so it would only be right to recite ALL the words to "So What You Want."
Remember Instagramgate? Well today I had the pleasure of meeting the young lady in the picture and we hit it off. I found her to be very positive and motivated. We both share something in common: our persistence.
Well off to more studying....I am halfway through my CCNA book. I am trying to sit for the exam by the fall and it looks like it may happen. How I am going to juggle work, motherhood, and school, I don't know, but I have faith I'll be able to do well at all three task. Till next time.....

Satisfied
Two in a day y'all!
I was sitting here thinking about what do you do when your needs are not being met. We all have certain requirements and things that we may want or need out of life. This can be physical, emotional, financial...you catch my drift. When those needs are not being met, we often tend to stop going to the empty source and turn to the source that is going to give us what we need or want. Today has been a turning point for me. There are some places in me that are depleted emotionally and I have been running to an empty source to get them filled. I am not saying J is empty, but I realized today that I should not look to a man, or any other person to fulfill what I have been missing. It all starts with me. When I was dating myself (y'all remember that?) I wasn't emotionally depleted because the love and affection I needed came from me and the love of God. Today I decided that I need to get back to THAT place. The place where I didn't care who was calling me or taking me on a date because I had me. So with that being said I am taking a little sabbatical to rediscover Miss Page, because I have lost myself in a mission to be loved. I never wanted to be that girl that clung so tightly to the idea of the fairy tale that I would mute my real feelings in an attempt to capture the dream. What good is winning the "lotto" when it wasn't the real you who won it?

Dreams
I had a wonderful time at church today. The title of the message was, "Living in HD." The message really spoke to me.
I took a nap after church and I had the most bizarre dream. If you know me, you know how I feel about my dreams. They always mean something. This dream can be summed in the following: Grandmothers house, begging for J's affection, toungeless kiss, and cleaning. It was a sad but hopeful dream. I don't know if it interpreted what I am subconsciously feeling or if it is what is to come. I am also curious to why the whole dream took place in my grandmother's house.
Remember that business I was looking for? I have found it! I have a very full week and I don't foresee any bored moments in it. Thank God I found the Y and women's bible study on Friday, not to mention my CCNA studies. Miss Page is gonna be just fine y'all.
Well I am off to enjoy the rest of this Sunday!

Quiet Nights
J and I had our re-match and, um, I lost again. It's ok though because I am going to be at someone's track running 100's like a fool. I hate losing!!! But again I love the competitive part of our relationship. We push each other that way.
I am enjoying my new surrounding but there is something missing. Miss Beasley. She stayed back to finish her school year but I miss her to the moon. She is a polar opposite of Chunky. I love her quiet but inquisitive nature, her love of reading, history, and science. She is truly my twin. Going to the Smithsonian doesn't feel the same without her.
Well as usual off to study and maybe FaceTime with my sissy!
