Zoom....

Ok...Hello world!  :-)

I was on spring break last week, Ga State University was trying to look out for us and let us veg out during an off-peak week, which i initially complained about but as I was looking for a last minute plane ticket (shout out to priceline.com) I was grateful.  I am an Aries! Proud of it! My birthday is the first day of that sign, March 21st!  I have always known that there was something unique about me.  Quiet but I knew things, I learned that I had a great personality and loved to laugh.  And once I finally let myself enjoy the world, I was able to share my laughter with others.  I have met so many others like me, not all Aries but I won't hold it against them.  I start celebrating my birthday on March 1st (celebrating with my Pisces brethren/sisters) and then I stop at the end of my sign which is April 19th (or maybe 20th) so this week was the beginning of a celebration of sorts.  My original plan was to do a weekend trip to Houston and I had a SW Airlines ($136) round trip ticket in my grasp but then got a message about a promising music opportunity so I decided to stay.  No biggie, I really want to get into the world of background vocals (www.reverbnation.com/annissakelliott) so I was excited!  This also meant I could go to my homette's bridal shower and another event celebrating the beginning of a fabulous jewelry line (shout out to http://www.oliviavalentino.com/).  BUT at the last minute (Friday night), I found out that the studio session was cancelled.....you know i was looking retarded at my phone as I was having this text conversation.  So, this was my ONLY saturday off from my saturday morning class and my main reason for staying was now cancelled. Hmmmmmm...what to do, what to do....Enter priceline.com!  I HAD to getaway. Southwest Airlines "gotta getaway" prices are not GREAT for last minute flights and so price line was offering a flight with one stop/change planes in another state and then to my destination (shall remain nameless).  So I decided to do a bid, now the upside to bidding is that you get flights for a lesser price the downside is that the details of the plane ticket are unknown until your bid is excepted.  My bid was successful and I paid a little bit over $300 for a $700 ticket. I was happy with the price but not with my departure time.  HOWEVER I made the best of it...this is year 40 and I'm celebrating to the hilt! SO I left out Saturday evening, our flight was delayed but I had a 3 seat row to myself in the back right next to the restroom and our flight attendant gave us a pass on the $$ fee on cocktails....needless to say I was feeling real nice once we landed. (nope not telling where I landed).  Sooooo my weekend ended nicely, very very very nice indeed!! Positive vibes flowing thru the universe and all that!

~the weekend...details lost in many blissful moments....~  *tee hee*

Ok the return flight *sigh* I had to sit right next to someone that was basically/literally squeezing into his seat AND he was tall, the guy behind me to the right coughed and talked and talked and coughed the entire time (i popped two chewable airborne tablets) and then I looked forward and the guy in the first seat on the right had taken his shoes off and was reading a book.  I don't know about anyone else but it gives me the heebie jeebies when i see people take their shoes off in public places. ewww! hey that's just me and guess what....this is my blog!  LOL!  EVEN with all of those minor issues...I had a great weekend, the front desk at my temporary abode allowed me to stay until 3p w/o additional charge and the weather was beautiful in the place that shall remain nameless.

The title of today's blog is "Zoom"....because that's what I did this weekend, I zoomed with a purpose.  My purpose, you ask? to live.  I refuse to die and not have lived.  ALL this month (and year), I will be zooming and celebrating with people around me that I have a positive vibe/connection with and I will be grateful and am grateful for the years I have spent on this earth learning myself and learning to love ALL of my actions and coming to grips with my consequences.  All i can say is "stuff" happens and to be happy you have to do what you do and do it well.  *tee hee*

p.s. holla at me if you wanna hit Vegas in August with the 10th Annual Hoodie Awards; the packages are on sale right now!  A black-tie weekend affair ending with a beach party that celebrates local businesses nationwide put on by Steve Harvey, sponsored by Ford and Kodak.

On that note.....  SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF MY FELLOW ARIES!!!!   *peace and blessings*
