And of course I got Basquiat's book because I'm a big fan. I now have a piece of history that I'll be taking with me everywhere.

And other books that I'm looking at. I finished Craig's wonderful book on the ride home from Hoboken. So inspiring. So lovely. So true. So powerful.

little does she know she's about to get spayed soon...

I was going to wait to enter the fall semester, but I might start in the summer.

I wanted to see how long my hair would be if I got a silk press. It's off by making it longer by some inches, but it's pretty accurate. I cannot wait to get my hair straightened so I can see the real length.

I try not to touch my hair for atleast a week. It's so hard because I'm curious as to how long it's gotten (I know a week isn't a long time). Well, this week, it seems to have gotten so much longer. I can't use too many accessories on the ends of my hair because it'll pull and break. What I do is: take the braids down, apply the chebe powder to make my hair softer and easier to detangle, detangle, apply more chebe powder, and then braid it back up and put it up.

I have one prayer book that I really like that's really effective, but I've been practicing some other manifestation and prayers. I've been watching 'The Secret' every single day. I'm thinking about buying (or maybe renting) a condo out in New York. I'm not sure yet, but I saw some really pretty condos when I was looking. The plan is to move out this apartment by the end of this year and save up my money to buy a house cash before my 30th birthday. I thought that 1,000,000 would be enough to pay off a house but I was entirely wrong. Also because of my disabilities, I would probably have to hire a staff to help me cook, clean, etc so I have to factor those costs in too. Also, factor in the costs of taxes and upkeep. So, ultimately 'no', $1,000,000 isn't enough to get the house that I want in either Alpine or Saddle River. I remember when I first started trading and I only wished that I could make $1000/week to pay my bills on section 8. Hell, my...

I finished 'A Woman's Worth' and I cried... and cried some more. That book made me so emotional. It was so descriptive, beautiful, and loving. I loved every page and didn't want it to ever end. I am so grateful for its existence. Now I have to read 'Waiting to Exhale' which I know I'll love. And then Rich Paul's book. I love good memoirs so 'Lucky Me' is going to be a great one.
