My Angel Baby is Here...

My Angel
Emoticón actual: calmado


Hello All,

As some of you know, God blessed me with my little angel baby girl Johnella Marie this past Oct. - Oct. 21st at 3:29 am. She was 7 lbs. & 5 oz...she's gained about two pounds or so since then...

She's wonderful & I just wanted to pass that on to those of you who've tried to contact me to see what's up one way or the other...

In the meantime, I'm in hibernation mode & they'll be plenty of time for us to get to know Johnella...she needs to start getting used to the world first...

Hope you're all enjoying the holidays with your family!

Take care & much warmth,

Elle

My Happy News :)

As most of you all already know and just in case a few of you don't know out there, I'm expecting a baby girl this coming late October & early November.
We're both excited and anxious for our daughter to be here...
In the meantime, I have unexplained cravings for PB&J sam'wiches & Funnyuns! Go figure!

Current mood: restless
Category: Music

I just love the lyrics to this song...it's a beauty if you love listening to words & how it melds with the melody & the main chorus...whoever penned it, I commend him or her...

Listen to the song if you ever get a chance...

Paz,
El -

Universally Speaking

I saw your face
Elegant and tired
Cut up from the chase
Still, i so admire
Bloodshot your smile
Delicate and wild
Forgive me, she was styled
Rip right through me

Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her,
I've got her on my mind
Nothing better,the feeling is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow

Come on, baby,'cause theres no name for
Give it up and i got what i came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run

I saw your crime
Dying to get high
Two of a kind
Beats all hands tonight

Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her,
I've got her on my mind
All the better, to make it is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow

Come on, baby,'cause there's no name for
Give it up and i got what i came for
Universally speaking
I take it back and you make me nervous
Nothing better than love and service
Universally speaking
I win in the long run

Silveretta the jets of a lifetime
Go and get her,
I've got her on my mind
Nothing better,the feeling is so fine
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow
Simply put, i saw your love stream flow

Let's go

Long time no blog...

Hey There,
It's been awhile & there's a lull at my cubicle most of the morning because my supervisor is out of town for a week...I could do more productive things & I have been, plugging away at more document edits with my little English teacher cap on but I wanted to take a breather & say hello out there to anyone who takes the time to read this...
Anyway, all I have to say I've been through A LOT of changes both professionally & personally and it's all been for the better...I'm generally, just letting you all know that I'm a happy camper these days & yes, I know I've been laying low for awhile but rest assured all is well in the world...
So, have a blessed day & I was coming to work on the bus, I was listening to one of my favorite tunes off Common 's recent album, "Be"...Here are the last few words from the piece, "It's Your World" & I like the last little "advice" rift from the O.G. off that song... I hope you can find some type of meaning in the excerpted lyrics below...
Paz amigos & I wish you all the best -- especially to those I haven't seen or spoken to in awhile...
Much warmth,
Elle

"It's Your World"
(feat. 'POPS')
[Kids stating their dreams]

['POPS']
Be, be here, be there, be that, be this
Be grateful for life, be grateful to life
Be gleeful everyday, for being the best swimmer among 500,000
Be-nign, be you, be mom's mean pie, be little black sambo With bad hair
Be aware of what a lynch is, Be, be boundless energy
Be a four star ghetto general, be no one except I
Be a strong academic student, be an A student in sociology
Be food for thought to the growing mind, be the author of your own horoscope
Be invited, be long-living, be forgiving, be not forgetful
Be a proud run, only to return to fight another day
Be peaceful if possible, but justice in ways (?)
Be high when you low, be on time but knowing to go
Be cautious of the road to college, taking a detour through Vietnam or the middle east
Be absent of wars at any past or present fought amongst themselves
Be visual of foreclosure over your shoulder while begging
A nation built on free labor for reparation, Be a cartopogropher
Be a map maker, be able to find afro-american man
search thoroughly it may be close to black man
Be ammended 5/5ths, be ammended 5/5ths human
Be the owner of more land than is set aside for wild life
Be cupid, to world government
Be found among the truth, lost tribe
Be at full strength when walking through the valley
Be not foolish as tender 18 of the mountain tops
Be a brilliant soul, sparkling in the galaxy while walking on earth
Be loved by God as much as God loved Ghandi and Martin Luther King
Be that last one of 144,000, be the resident of that twelfth house
Be....eternal!
