Sunny's Back

I'm still not feeling 100% better yet, but my throat does not feel like I swallowed glass. I've been lounging around and all I did today was watch TV. I need to be sort of productive tomorrow. I watched the season premier of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I can't believe I've been watching this show for 10 years. Hilarious and it is getting me pumped for Philadelphia trip coming up.

Sweet Sleep

I still don't feel well, I'm still sleepy from the second round on Nyquil. So I will be sleeping now, my eyes are closing as I type this. Here's a random thought I want to be on a cooking show. Oh and I bought a blanket scarf, and a selfie stick for Philadelphia. So random

I'm so sick

I feel like I'm coming down with something, my throat is sore AF.... uggggghhhh well I took some Nyquil and had a ton of Ricolas. In other news me and Nisha researched hotels for our Philly trip and we've narrowed it down to two. We will have it figured out by the end of this week. Also I need to do some major cleaning of my room to find my winter clothes because Philadelphia is much colder. I'll probably still end up buying things. Now I'm watch Teen Mom waiting for this Nyquil to kick in.

January vacation!

        So Nisha and I haven't travelled anywhere since going to Las Vegas to see Big Bang in concert, that was in October. We have been brainstorming and we thought about doing the whole camping thing. After researching, we decided we aren't ready for that yet. We were considering camping at Big Bend National Park, but after going over all the things we needed to buy (hahah black people don't have camping supplies) we decided not right now, but we will this year, for sure. We like traveling to cool cities in the U.S so we decided to go back to Philadelphia, it was almost Chicago or back to New York City (we were just there in September). We decided on Philadelphia because we actually visited the city before and actually had a great time. The cool thing is we found a cute hotel in old city (that's exactly the place we want to be amongst all the old colonial type row houses) added bonus is it's the week they have restaurant week so it's going to be a major foodie paradise. So we plan to eat yummy cool things in the city center, visit Chinatown (they have the 3rd largest after San Fransisco and New York City *we ate at a bunch of NYC chinatown spots) go to the Reading Terminal Market, Visit the Rodin Museum, Mütter Museum, Independence hall, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art... These are just a couple of places I want to visit while there. I'm excited and I can break in that new suitcase I bought myself for Christmas.


I also need to plan a mini trip for my birthday in March, just something small, somewhere drivable. It's always hard because it is during spring break and everyplace jacks up the rates for everything. I may just have an adventure around Dallas. I know in April me and Nisha may head down to San Antonio because we had a fun time during the Fiesta celebrations and this year is the 125th Fiesta. I'm also planning to go to Seattle for Nisha's birthday so we can head to the Pacific Northwest. Also hopefully SE Asia this winter. We're going to do some major traveling.

I'm excited about planning my camping trip. I want the flannel, the hotdogs, the boots, the tent, the whole thing. I've been camping before, but not with my sis, and not doing whatever we want. We've narrowed it down to either Sequoia National park, or somewhere in the Ozark's..

lets try this again

So I basically just typed a blog post, and then the site crashed or something while I was using Chrome.... I didn't save the post I just closed the page and opened it in Safari, I'm disappointed that I don't remember all that I wrote. I remember mentioning something about finishing my braids, watching Martin all day and sleeping till 2:00pm. Uhhhhh, I also ate my black eyed peas for luck, from now on I will save what I type until I upload the post.

it's almost 2016

Whoa I think I say this all the time, but I'm actually going to try to make an effort to blog everyday for 2016, even if it's only a sentence or something that I thought was funny, I'll write about it. I have a cool journal/diary that my sister got me for my birthday but I didn't want to start writing in it in the middle of March, I wanted to wait to start in the new year. I have a lot on my mind now, and I'm hoping for great things this year, I'm trying to stay more positive. I have a couple of goals this year.

1.) Eat more veggies
                 I know that I should and I think I can make some great recipes and this overall will           improve my health

2.) Drink more water
                 I got a cool water bottle with a fruit infuser for Christmas, so I need to make great use of it.  I already made some progress with this, but I want to eliminate all sugary drinks, so thats one of my goals.

3.) Travel More
                I made progress in 2015, but I want to travel internationally. Maybe Thailand, maybe China, maybe Spain, I'm going to make it happen in 2016

4.) Wear more makeup
                I know this is a weird one, but I've been buying a ton of makeup now, and I want to make myself look beautiful

5.) Save more
               I am horrible at saving, and to achieve some of these goals I do need money, my finances got a bit out of order in the later half of 2015. I need to fix this.

6.) I really want to read more poetry, especially African-American poetry
                This came about while I was watching Jeopardy, and there was a whole category on Black writers. I didn't know many of them. I was disappointed and felt that I'm hurting myself by not reading or knowing many of these great writers.

7.) Become more active
               I live a very sedentary life, and it's not that great, I do want to lose weight, so this goal would be beneficent to me.

8.) Become more confident
               I don't know if I need to be more confident, or just be more positive, but both would help me in 2016....sigh.

9.) Become more organized
                I really think if I learn to let go of some things this would help me stay organized, I am a messy person I know that, I'm also a very materialistic person, which leads me to acquire a lot of things. Oh and I have no storage space, it might be that I have too many things, I don't know. I need to get rid of things


Here's to 2016, as I lay in my panda pj's on the couch, drinking Starbuck's Peppermint Hot Chocolate, watching Charm School on Hulu like I'm ringing in 2007. I may update this list later, I have so many things to work on in 2016, hopefully this is my year and I can really be successful and happy.
