Goodbye Alise somebody will miss you....not sure who though

Sunday marked the end of an era....

I can no longer hang out with Alise D. Marshall. And no, it's not bad 'cause I'll miss her. Nope. Not at all.... I don't have a way to get at her beautiful soror's anymore :(. At least that's how she would tell it.

Alise and I have had a very interesting friendship that will most likely continue down the same interesting path. Although I claim her as my BFF forever, I don't know if the feeling is reciprocated....oh well. (J/K)

I have watched Alise for some time now and it never ceases to amaze me how focused and goal-oriented this young woman is. Whatever venture she takes on will have to look out for her no doubt. The world is her playground and she is the head recess lady. Not to mention, she does it all with respect and care for the people who work for her. As a field organizer I saw a devoted group of people follow her lead with unwavering faith, and it was the first time she had ever done the job. I was one of those idiots lol.

Miss Bigtime aka Oprah #2 aka Michelle Obama and so on and is moving to ATL (why I have no idea, that's a whole 'nother post). And she is leaving behind many friends, loves and subordinates that will all miss her so dearly. If I weren't after the pink and green (LOL!!!!), I would be on that list. Alas, my true motives have been revealed.

Farewell Miss Marshall. May you continue to do great things and be a big fish in a big pond.

Happy Birthday Kaileigh

Today is my little baby sister's birthday and what better way to honor her than to blog about her.

Now if you know me you know my sister is my favorite sibling, really only because it's a two horse race. LOL. Actually, she's pretty cool when she isn't opening up birthday cards the day before her birthday.

In fifteen years, Kaileigh has given me a lot of memories good and bad and I must say I am glad I have a random little sister that came unexpectedly. LOL. The day she grows up we will be cool again, but until then I will be that mean brother who picks on his little brother and sister.

No I won't thank her for all the times (when she was little) she did what I asked for no reason, or be grateful for how her little cute smiling face (a long time ago) kept me level-headed while going thru the trials of adolescence.

Nope.... on a day like today, I will remember the "it won't come out moments", the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches mixed with 9-1-1 d calls, and my favorite, the time I broke her arm (not literally I ain't that mean).

Happy Birthday Kaileigh! And may you have many more.
