I am totally into poetry but with my current work load in my professional and personal life it has become lost; but with my new state of current events I have been totally inspired to write again.
My goal is whatever I post on blogspot that I then have to make a video on youtube to hone my delivery skills. I am already backed up- but it does give me a new to do list to conquer.
Here is the latest poem:
Because I am Blessed.
God called on me the other day
Said " Child, why don't you play
in my delight, what a sight
I love you with all my might."
See his spirit is within me
I remembered that day with glee
How He saved me
From the grasp of death
Oh how I wept
But I am trying to conquer my everyday
Hold down 'da fort- I aint got no overpay
Bill Collectas calling
Trying to hold it down wit' my darlin'
Trying to keep my head up
While Wamu bankrupt
It ain't easy-you know you feel me
He chuckled and said " Follow me and Believe
I will carry you to the next eve
That devil will start fires
But you got me and I'm Higher
And I will pour down rain
Take away your pain
Impart Peace and Joy
I gave you your Boy."
How can I doubt?
All I can do is Shout
"Glory be the Honor and Praise
He alone can raise
Me higher, In Him I trust
Because of Him I'm blessed
Because of Him I'm Blessed.
Because of Him I'm Blessed.
Because of Him I'm Blessed.
Now There's Three
I am in this beautiful relationship;
The King, He and Me.
I never thought it could be
See before when I was lost;
It was at a major cost.
My days were lost
Deep in the night I was caught
Held captive with no real thoughts
Trying to be a part of
Today's society cuz ah...
Now that I think about it
It doesn't even matter cuz
Now There's Three
He's always in between
Sitting in His throne above, but always between
He and Me,
Soon to be joined in Holy Matrimony
He said it- The Greatest of These
Love, Love, Love
The King, He and Me.
I never thought it could be

The Dress is here and it Doesn't Fit!
I ordered my wedding dress in July and fit into a size 12 but I couldn't possibly get married in a size 12- not when i used to be either a 6 or 8 depending on the designer. I took a risk and ordered a size 10. So with early morning workouts, lunch time workouts, and 96 oz of water a day i was going to show those who were nervous about my decision to get a smaller size. I mean I am Carmelle! As stubborn as I am- there was just no way I was going to take a size 12 !
Well the size ten dress arrived on Monday- I was super excited and really nervous. How would i feel if I hadn't in fact lost enough weight to fit into the dress? There would be no way to order another size due to the lead time. I took the dress into the room with the door locked behind me and said a quick prayer as i slipped into the dress. And would you believe it- it didn't fit. It was too big!!!!! I should have gotten an 8! The dress is soo big on me it needs to be taken in all over. On Tuesday i am meeting with my seamstress so that she can help make my size ten dress a size 8.
I am still doing my 5am workouts and drinking my water but have cut back my lunch time workouts(mostly due to so many projects on my plate) - who knows maybe the size ten dress will slowly transform itself into a six. Since March I have lost 30 pounds. I still want to lose another ten pounds to get back to my college weight and those sexy abs i used to flaunt.
At work I joined this competition similar to the bigg
est loser with 3 other lovely ladies. I will tell you it definitely motivated me to get moving! There is nothing like a weekly weigh in to make think twice about those weekend binge eating fests.
So for all those lovely divas; who aren't happy with the few extra pounds that just happened to appear overnight- just make it leave. Use that fabulous girl power and kick box it, zumba it, walk it, run it, ab blast it, lunge it, squat it, and samba it out and off of you!
Well Carmelle's Fabulosity is out!

Its Sunday!
This is the day the Lord has made! It is also game day, Jake is kicking himself in the a** b/c he benched Ronnie Brown for his fantasy football and he apparently is doing his thing. Fantasy football is beyond me but I cant escape it. Jake at home, my mom on the phone, and my boss at work inquiring about Jake's teams..... For better or worse.... I will say though this is definitely a good flaw for my hubby to have especially since I cant escape football in any other aspect of my life.
I made a good pot of rice and beans says my taste tester,"even the beans taste good." Domestic bliss at its best! Another chill day of lounging on the couch, strategizing the fastest way to stuff invitations, and wondering what I will be walking into at work on Monday. The countdown is on for the wedding in Aruba! I am so excited, my dress will be arriving any day now. Following the link in the enclosure to see my fabulous dress!
Olivia the Cat is going to need a sitter during our wedding adventure in Aruba. This will be an interesting episode in our lives as I have never interviewed a cat sitter and quite honestly i am not too comfortable with a stranger taking care of Olivia in our place- It just weirds me out. If i had a high discretionary income I would so buy the teddy bears with the hidden cameras to ensure this sitter isn't overfeeding Olivia ( which Jake constantly blames me for) or snooping through our stuff. I just dont like it- but we have no choice, b/c there is no way I am sharing Jake on my wedding adventure with Olivia- she can get pretty possessive of Jake.
I miss my NY divas! I keep getting invites to all these happening around the city and pics of my models partying it up! I will say that i dont miss the parties all that much- there is something about drunk men stepping on my too cute stilettos or hating females that try to take up all the mirror space in the bathroom that definitely doesn't fly with me anymore but I miss my crazy homegirl Peaches who can get me clapping my hands, sucking my teeth, and switching my neck about pretty much anything withing 45 seconds flat; she never fails!
So one thing that bothers me about being a dread, there are not enough hair styling tips- so annoying! i can type in hairstyles in google and come up with a enough hairstyles to keep Paris Hilton and Tyra Banks's hair fried, dyed, and laid to the side while a natural sistah like myself has to spend hrs in front of the mirror with a gajillion hair pins trying to come up with a hair do(& dont)- so annoying- it is on my to do list to travel around the world and take pics of dreaded divas with their beautiful coifs. I mean it costs a hundred bucks just to get my hair washed- we are not even talking styling so what is a girl to do for a wedding day? Please if you see a a pretty loc'd do- share the style with moi!
Well I think that i have done enough rambling in a short time... Time to surf the net some more.
Peace and love!
