Idk about anyone else buuuuttttt
I am taking on new challenges for myself this year.
I am going to write my book. So I can call it accomplished and love it when it’s printed!
My goal for THIS WEEK though ….
Is to create Shade But No Shade’s twitter page!!!
Whew!!
I don’t know why I didn’t create this sooner! I kept thinking about it and forgetting about it all at the same time!
Plus it’s going to be a lot of work simply because I am starting from 2015 posts!!!!
Sooooooo silly me! I have been going through some serious life changes and been too tired to blog.
Until I decided to stop being lazy today!!!
Que balloons*
(Thank you giphy)
I started this blog in 2015 so it can motivate me to stay active in my writing and get back into writing these books I keep claiming I am working on, yet I don’t have the time because work or some other life event I feel gets in my way.
Over time I have made such beautiful friends and read some amazing blogs!
I have lost touch with a lot of my favorite blogs because I have been so busy with life! Ugh! I made a promise to myself to get back into gear and catch up with my reader on WP of those that I adore and NEW followers as well!
🙂
I LOVE writing! It is apart of me. Always has been from when I was a kid.
Now, I will give credit for this post to my girl …
for her blogiversary post!! Here is her post- “On My Word* Celebrating 3 Years of Blogging” Her post made me think about how I NEVER wrote a celebratory post of my own!
She is one of my FAV bloggers! Not only does she keep it real, especially about her love for her family but her poems are so dope! Check my girl out! 😉
Since I just posted about seeing the moon, why not post this post about ….
Horoscopes!
I used to be a HUGE fan of horoscopes! Everything you needed to know, you could have asked me…..
I was like….. a horoscope guru haha
Keyword: Was
Now I kind of just live life normal hehe
I still believe in some parts like characteristics are true per each sign, but I don’t follow it like I used to
I had Yahoo horoscope sent to me all the time and I checked love, friendship and finance all the time
For a while I had the horoscope app on my phone.
I told you I was serious about it!
Don’t judge me!
Besides,
I KNOOOOWWWW I’m not the only one! Continue reading
This movie caught my attention when I went to the movie theater to see Wonder Woman and seen this trailer.
I’m a hopeless romantic so anything …well almost anything that looks adorable makes me want to check it out.
This story was very different so it attracted me.
Anywho,
The concept: I LOVE the imagination behind this story in which the main character Maddie is sick and cannot leave her house. She decides to be bold when she meets Olly and escape the house she has known for 17 years.
I won’t spoil the entire movie but I will say that every moment of the movie had me drawn in.
Like her cool architecture skill that created her own burger joint.
Oooo how about when they have sex? I totally knew that was coming! The chemistry was there!
Especially when she bought tickets to Hawaii and Olly went with her. It was their escape.
Her escape.
An escape I very much need too. But we will discuss that another lifetime.
I was thinking the entire time SHE’S NOT SICK!!!
No way does a person risk their life knowing they can die….
But that is everyone. We risk our lives almost every day.
I was totally thinking she was never sick, she can go outside.
What made up sickness is SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency)
I was totally happy she found love in Olly. How dare she be locked up in her home forever not having any interaction with strangers simply because she was told she can’t.
I felt for her!
That disease must have sucked. Imagine not being able to leave the house?
When she got sick in Hawaii and later spoke to the same doctor that helped her in Hawaii, she realized she wasn’t sick!
I knew it! Her mother made that up to keep her safe after her brother and father died.
Maddie has been a product of her mother’s scheme to keep her protected so she doesn’t die like her sibling and father.
Apart of me was angry at the mother, but then I also can relate.
I was thrilled that while Olly and Maddie took a short lived break from each other because her mother thought he was causing her danger to her health; they met up in NY at the end in a ….. BOOKSTORE!
#TeamMaddie&Olly #Madolly? Lol
Maddie loved to read books.
Just like ME!
In the movie she said she don’t have any vices but I think reading is her vice.
During the movie, I wondered … IS this movie a book?
I googled it and the answer is OF COURSE! I sampled the book and so far it was matching the movie…
So you know what that means? 😉
Time to read the book!

(All I thought as I reread this was WHAT WAS I THINKING!! THAT COULD HAVE FLOWED BETTER!!!) (Also it is a lil creepy that I am 27 posting this story, character is 27…I was having a girl and so is the character! Only positive is I am still with my bae, we broke up a few times but that was prior to baby…..
And now as I reread this story I have lost my little girl, but you guys can read that post.)
This post was written in my Write Like A Woman class at ISU. It was so hard to write a 3 word sentence!

Sex too good. Don’t use protection. Bought First Response. Have to pee. Pee on stick. Oh no Pregnant! Damn I’m stupid. How could I? It’s his fault. He manipulates me. Says sweet things. Oh you’re sexy. Come join me. Bed too cold. I need you. I can’t resist. Under the covers. His hands smooth. Hot, lustful intentions. Damn….not again! Someone is knocking. Ugh read…sign. Do NOT disturb. We are busy. Come back later. I keep screaming. Oh….Guilty pleasures. He screams Becca! What the fuck? I am Stephanie.
Who is she? I push him. He rolls off. I get up. Shit, really Matt? You damn cheater! I’ve had enough. I’m getting dressed. Red dress on. Slips on heels. He smacks me. I kick him. He punches me. Ouch that hurts! Arm turns purple. I bite him. Scratch his throat. Then I run. He trips me. Kneel…shoe…off. I’ve got aim. Hit his head. He is raging. Walks toward me. He’s standing there. I’m crying again. Very mixed emotions. He starts crying. This doesn’t work. I’ve gotta go. The knocking stopped. It was her. It must be. Where’d she go? Purse in hand. He is shouting. Baby don’t go. She means nothing. Same old story. Write a book. I’m so done.
Walking home alone. Fuming with thoughts. Emotions running wild. Tears falling nonstop. Grown adults fighting. Who does that? I hate him. I’m freaking 27. Baby on board. I’ll raise him. Or maybe her. Hopefully not both. I’m against abortion. Time heals all. Don’t have time. I’m so confused. What’d I do? Thought we’d last. Guess imma fool. He played me. Really Becca though? She sounds familiar. Ohmygod. Please God no. Don’t tell me. Becca from school. In my class. That conniving bitch. She’s so fake. He’s all hers. I’m so done. I’m moving on. Dead beat father.
I watch all of his movies, see all of his comedy skits, follow him on Snapchat & Facebook….
Watch him Live all the time!
Kevin Hart is a comedic in his own right and he does it effortlessly!
Okay I am not about to OD, but man I adore him!
Kevin Hart ❤ ❤ ❤
Chocolate Droppa!
Let’s cut right into it. You dread this day. It’s like any other ordinary day. Right? This day is overrated and very dramatized to the point where if you don’t have a Valentine your friends question your life.
You’re sick of hearing “Who’s your valentine this year?” If you have none.
But that’s okay, I hope you downloaded the new Imaginary Boyfriend app to play pretend for just a day.
Don’t know what I’m talking about? Check out the link! It’s available on all phones and I believe there is an invisible girlfriend one as well.
https://invisibleboyfriend.com/
The messages appear in your inbox as a valid message from someone and look as such:
It looks real doesn’t it? This will keep all your friends and family off your back for a day!
I don’t have the app simply because I don’t need it. Does that mean I have a boyfriend? If you know me, then you know the answer to that. 🙂
The app is quite interesting but aside from impressing the world, what else is there to do?
How many people are going to see 50 shades of Grey this weekend?
Come on where’s the show of hands? 😀
It’s a movie I am on the fence about because I LOVE the books and while I am excited they made it into a movie (I’m going to go see it eventually); I am not excited about the actor & actress chosen to play Anastasia and Christian.
However, Go spend V-Day with your GIRLFRIENDS and at night dedicate it to your boyfriend or husband. As for my singles, nothing wrong with spending time with yourself or go speed dating (if you’re that adventurous).
I specifically titled this “Renovate Your Valentine’s Day” because you should feel good about doing something for yourself for once as well as a new take on the “holiday”. The movies and the boyfriend app are typical things to do during this special event, but don’t forget to love yourself first!
The chocolate, flowers, dinner thing is sooooo old! Leave it in the past! Do something different. Hint at something new ladies. Whether it’s the favorite pair of shoes you have on your wishlist or just going to a craft store to make each other something, do it! Valentine’s Day isn’t all about SPENDING MONEY and if you DO spend money, spend it wisely.
After all, it is ONE day and it should be treated as a regular day because you love people every day even if you don’t say it and even if you don’t necessarily show it everyday. If you buy a gift, make it worth it and not just because it is that one day out of the year where all the commercials, family, friends, co-workers, and sales push you to buy everything to make her happy.
Ladies the men deserve some love too! Cooking is cool as well as expected, but what about his favorite tickets to a show or a game?
Love works both ways.
Love has no boundaries even if your V-Date is your mom, dad, cousin, brother or sister. Just make it fun.
Remember single ladies and single men, there are plenty activities you can do to enjoy V-Day. As I mentioned earlier there’s dating, or you can work (if you grind all the time), play video games, watch Netflix, or spend family time in the house with the ones you love on the daily.
Even bake those sugar cookies everyone loves so much!
What am I doing for Valentine’s Day you ask? Spending it with the people I love the most! My “adopted into” family! 🙂
Turn the typical expected Valentine’s Day into something brand new. Then tell me what you did! Haha
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
Here’s some V-DAY humor:
