Unless you’ve been living under the rock you’ll know that the US East Coast is under a Hurricane. For the first time in over a century the NY Tri-State is getting one, and this after 5.9 Earthquake. Yup all in the same week, UGH! I am actually sitting here waiting for it to hit us and obsessing looking over the weather radar:

Unlike a lot of people in our area, we didn’t wait last minute or took his lightly. But then again, we are from the Caribbean and we know first hand the devastation a Hurricane can cause. In he past two days we stocked up on things and I think we are as ready as we could possible get in a situation like this. Not that it’s a normal occurrences in our neck of the woods. Here are some pics of our preparations:

We also have buckets filled with water to use in all purpose. All of our cell phones are fully changed. We have bags of ice. A couple of battery operated radios and lanterns. Our backpacks are ready with our documents, a change of clothes, and food in the case we need to evacuate. But most importantly, we have 4 bottles of wine lol! All I’m missing are cupcakes. Who wants to send me some? ^_^

I hope everyone is ready and safe to face this storm. I’ll try to post pictures in my twitter and/or tumblr.

I am Dee. I have a problem. My problem? Polyvore!!! It’s one of the most amazing websites I’ve ever encountered to I wanted to share it with y’all.

What is Polyvore? With 6.5 million monthly unique visitors, Polyvore is the web’s largest community of tastemakers where people can discover their style and set trends around the world. Trendseekers and shoppers alike come to Polyvore to discover the hottest brands, products, trends and looks. In another words, AMAZING!

I’ve been a member for years now. I originally started doing sets, for my old RP account. And although, I continue to do RP related things, I take breaks from those to truly express my creativity with the site.

I’ve created, between my old account and new one, my dream Beach House. Want to see it? Of course you do! Here you go!

You can view the rest of the house here -> Beach House

What do you think? Let me know! 

It’s been a while since I updated so here is something fun. In my house, Harry Potter is king. We are all HP nerds and proud! For years my nephew all he wanted to be for Halloween was Harry.

I know some people may be like, “PSH, it’s just a kids book/movie”. And hey you are right, but to millions of people is much more than that. The books got kids to read. As a writer, that’s HUGE for me. Plus, let’s face it, the books and movies a like are wonderful.

In my house, is more than a book/movie. It was family bonding. We found that thing that we all loved and used it to become a closer. My nephew and I watched the red carpet via YouTube, live from London and I had tears in my eyes. No I’m not ashamed to admit it. It was sad to see the era ending. I mean all those great memories Harry Potter gave our family surfaced and I couldn’t help get nostalgic. So you see, it’s more than a movie and a book. It’s magic, it’s fighting for what’s right and just in the world. These books and movies will be forever in my heart.

Today, my nephew and I are going to Target to see if we can find a couple of HP shirts. Why? Because tomorrow night at 12:01 we are all going to see the premier. Yes, we already have the tickets ^_^ {points down}.

It’ll be bitter sweet to see the movie because, like I said before, the era is ending. But like JK said at the London Premier…

Oh, I posted some pictures of my tumblr of my nephew who I call Eric Potter. It’s just random things we bonded during Harry Potter things -> click here to view. And this is me being a complete nerd. Yup I’m a Hogwarts Alumni {snickers}

See ya’ll at the twenty year reunion ^_^… WAIT! Before I go. Here is a song to dedicated to Harry Potter.

As you may or may not know, I’m a huge photography nerd and proud. My friends and family know that if I will be attending an event that they don’t need to take pictures because I’ll be taking care of that.

I actually have a photography blog. And in the spirits to make myself a better photographer, I took on a 30 Day Photography Challenge. It’s been going great AND I’ve honestly learned a lot. I am on Day 15 and I’ll love to share it with you. SO, this is my official invitation to you. Click on the logo below to view my progress:

Below is the Photography Challenge list. Do you dare? I double dare you!

Make sure you leave a comment and let me know what you think, even if you don’t like something, I like getting feed back so I improve.

Ok I’ll stop yapping. Have a great night ya’ll!

This is how we celebrated in my house!

Today is National Donut Day! Forget the calories and give yourself a delicious treat. I’m simple, give me a glazed one and I’m good ^_^. Which one is yours?

Here is a little on National Donut Day:

• National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army “Lassies” of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers.

If you’re in Manhattan this morning, stop by 42nd & 2nd. Pix11 is giving away free donuts!

June is Gay Pride month. Let’s get gay! {giggling} I’m not gay but some people in my life are. So here I am to celebrate with them and get my rainbow on. Equality for all! 

Have ya’ll seen the Old Navy 2011 Pride shirt? I want it!

Some day we’ll live in a world where sexual preference is accepted by one and all. I pray that I live long enough to see that.

Turn up the lights in here baby
Extra bright, I want y’all to see this
Turn up the lights in here, baby
You know what I need
Want you to see everything
Want you to see all of the lights

Fast cars, shooting stars

Something wrong
I hold my head
MJ gone…our n-gga dead!
I slapped my girl, she called the feds
I did that time and spent that bread
I’m heading home, I’m almost there
I’m on my way, heading up the stairs
To my surprise, a n-gga replacing me
I had to take ‘em to that ghetto university

[Chorus]
All of the lights
Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights
Strobe lights, street lights
(all of the lights, all of the lights)
Fast life, drug life
Thug life, rock life
Every night
(all of the lights)

Restraining order
Can’t see my daughter
Her mother, brother, grandmother hate me in that order
Public visitation
We met at Borders
Told her she take me back
I’ll be more supportive
I made mistakes
I bump my head
Courts suck me dry
I spent that bread
She need a daddy
Baby please, can’t let her grow up in that ghetto university

[Chorus]
All of the lights

Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights

Strobe lights, street lights

Fast life, drug life
Thug life, rock life
Every night

Unemployment line, credit card declined
Did I not mention I was about to lose my mind?

And also was about to do that line
Okay, okay, you know we going all the way this time

Aloha y’all,

It’s Fleet Week here in NYC and I went to tour the USS IWO JIMA with my family. The line was unreal, a FOUR-yes FOUR hour wait to get in but you know what? It was worth it. We got a chance to be on the flight deck and don’t let the picture fool you, this boat is MASSIVE. It’s a floating island.

The best part? I was surrounded by cute Marine and Navy men ALL day ^_^. This picture above I took it with my cell phone so it’s not very good. However, I will be posting some good ones on my photography tumblr. –> click here to visit

I’m exhausted thought. I need a drink and bed STAT lol See y’all in the morning.

XOXOXO
Dee 

You and I, we had it all.
I wonder why, I let it fall.
I don’t know why,
I make this hard for you.

And if I go, and get it back,
Apologize, for all I lack!
Would you be there, to take this heart?
Would you do anything at all?

Take me back to yesterday,
I swear it on your life,
I’ll stay on the short side,
I’ll stay on the short side.

Take me back to yesterday,
If you can forgive me,
I will, stay by you only,
Though if, you can forget,

We can get around this,
Get around this, get around this,
Get around, we can get around this,
Get around this, mess.

Now you can go, you can leave.
I wouldn’t blame, you for a thing.
I acted like, I never should.

But I will stay, and I will bleed.
Stand in the rain, I’m begging please.
Cause I’ll be here for you,
Yeah, I’ll be here for you.

Take me back to yesterday,
I swear it on your life,
I’ll stay on the short side,
I’ll stay on the short side.

Take me back to yesterday,
If you can forgive me,
I will, stay by you only,
Though if, you can forget,

We can get around this,
Get around this, get around this,
Get around, we can get around this,
Get around this, mess.

So hold on, baby don’t you leave me,
Please just, hold on, to me.

Take me back to yesterday,
I swear it on your life,
I’ll stay on the short side,
I’ll stay on the short side.

Take me back to yesterday,
If you can forgive me,
I will, stay by you only,
Though if, you can forget,

We can get around this,
Get around this, get around this,
Get around, we can get around this,
Get around this, mess.

We can get around this,
Get around this, get around this,
Get around, we can get around this,
Get around this, mess.
