Hello lovelies, I'm bacccck!
The movie close encounters with the 3rd kind? "they're heeeere" pops into my head as I write this....oh dear...on to something nice!!
Or at least, somewhat! I'm not sure what nice is today....as I ride from side to side of the city, for fittings, shows, picking up necessities I can't quite remember what all I have going! Maybe I subconsciously block the future sometimes so it's not so overwhelming! HA! Ever just feel like in the rush to leave the house for 16+ hours you forgot something REEEALLY important? Well I usually feel that way. So last night I made my list of things I would need for today....including the normal, change or clothes, shoes, make up, phone charger, snacks, water, instrument, school, ect ect.
Only this time I knew it was going to be a rough morning and I had to include also, brush teeth, put on make up, put on jacket, take purse and shoes.
I nevvvar forget things like that, but I think in all the hecticness (word? Sure.) I WILL eventually end up become an organized person by force!!! How exciting! At least I think so...I've never really been that way before so I may not enjoy it so much! Hah..
I'd also like to add that all other cities I've ever been to, excluding Los Angles, have traffic that 'ain't got nuthin on the ATL'.
For real! I mean, at least your INTERSTATE SYSTEM MOVES!!!
We got into the city and went to head north to the most loveable, Buckhead (where according to Urban Dictionary, if you are a single black woman should not look for a man as you will get looped into being his cover as he is most likely not straight...oopsth) well traffic was so bad, we ended up going east end and puttering around just so we could go north at all....sha-eessh.
We ended up sitting at a red light for quite a long while and in the meantime, we saw my brother wizz by us on his way to a job.
See folks, you can grow busier and busier, but you can still see your family.
..........keyword, see.
"even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased"
Well, I'm off to work on the rest of the things I have going today....I'm not going to count.
Bunches of love and blessings on you today and may you wake up far less sore then I'm afraid I will tomorrow,
A very scattered, Annuh
Daniel 12:13 KJV
But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Meet me at the Mezzanine..

SHHH! I think I hear nothing!
If you don't know me very well, I'd like to share something with you that I think you should know...If you hear me getting quiet, we're in trouble!! (take warning, if I look quiet...slap me or something!) Because if I'm absolutely quiet, it means I'm thinking about something veeery seriously....and that's no good. Now, it may be something quite ridiculous that I'm being so serious about! Like what order I'm going to layer eye shadow for that one look I've been thinking of.....or what oranges and chocolate would taste like....but whatever it is, it is most likely 100% UNNECESSARY!!! But then, don't we all do that? How many times a day do you stress your mind out over something that you really shouldn't be giving that 2nd thought too? I wish everyone didn't take everything here so seriously! After all, if you have God what should little old you possibly be worrying about!!
"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"
Life is so much easier on the heart and mind when you just breathe in, breathe out, close your eyes and let the Lord lead you down HIS path for you!! All you just have to sit back and be his vessel! Isn't that incredible? So why overthink things? Step back from your head for a minute and just look at the big picture....stressing over the little things seems pretty pointless now doesn't it?
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Now that's a PROMISE!! See? Just have fun, love, and enjoy your time on Gods earth....why not? He put us here to love! He has a purpose for each of us...just let God do his job and work with the grain! You have no idea how much easier it is! So live your precious life with wisdom and a sound mind, but be carefree....do what makes you happy!! Please, for the love of ice cream.
And now I'm going to share with you a story about one of the things that makes me happy!!
Friday I was at a wonderful on location photoshoot...right next to our location was a building project. There were working men everywhere right next to where we were shooting!! And once when I was shooting, I absolutely lost it....this is what happened.
There I was, in a beautiful dress that did not exactly fit into something to the class of something I would wear to a funeral.....and I was just doing what I do and we were getting some great shots!! The photographer and I were running from scene to scene totally getting in to it when all of a sudden I stopped, looked up and saw about 8 or 9 men in hard hats with their hands on their hips looking oh so productive. I was absolutely thrown out of character because they just looked so...well.....ridiculous!! I couldn't help from laughing...there we were, just having us a photoshoot....stylist, designer, models, make up, family....and there THEY were, hard hat wearing man, hard hat wearing man, hard hat wearing man....just standing there watching me in front of the camera. needless to say, it just might have been the funniest thing I've ever seen.
And now I'm off to go sleep some more.....today I've had TWO naps!! ...AFTER a 13 hours of sleep before!! And let me tell you do I feel taller already! HAH!
May God bless your socks off today!
Bunches of love, Anna

flip flop weather?!
I'll say, I miss Jersey and NYC.......but let me tell you I LOVE getting to wear my yellow boxes and shorts!! ...in april. I wore them out of the house today for the first time this year!! And as I was getting in the car my Mother told me how much cuter my gladiator sandals would be...I just smiled and told her how comfy my yellow boxes would be! Then she sighed...and so I told her that these were the most comfortable shoes I owned! Well...these and the others! She just laughed and told me how silly I sounded!! The MOST comfortable shoes! ....along with the others!
While in my head I was clearly thinking the yellow boxes I was wearing and the yellow boxes in my room!!! .....that's my backwards brain for you...
Lots of love and warm weather that Georgia has to to spare to you today!

WOO THERE!
Well I just tried to plug my iPod into my toothbrush charger.....something wrong? Yeah I think I need some REAL rest!! I have that scheduled for Thursday morning....
Anyways! I read a wonderful post from Aarin of iVi scents that I would like to share with you! (most amazing soap you will EVARRRR use. Go buy some now. My favorite is the birthday cake(: Aarin's awesome company, iVi!!)
"Both in business and in life... If you are not offending someone as a result of your convictions, you're doing something wrong."
I thought this was a wonderful way to look at things like this....Satan will always use whomever he can to try and bring you down or stand in your way! But be encouraged!! If you weren't going to be doing something good, you wouldn't be worth stopping.
Now watch me jump around some....

My second marriage proposal of the year...
It happened like this:
I was in the office of a new manager that I'm working with in New York when a man came by me and exclaimed "Ohh who is THIS???" I smiled and told the man who I was...he extended his hand so of course I went to give him ahand shake!! He told he didn't want to shake my hand, he wanted to look at my FACE...and let me tell you, he did just that!! And then proceeds to ask me "ARE THOSE FRECKLES?!?" I just told him that yes sir they sure were....wasn't I sure blessed? So after a lengthy lil chat, he went to go grab something off his desk when he turned around and grinned and said "oh will you just marry me?!"
First marriage proposal of the year that hasn't come from a mother...
What's a girl to do? Sheeeesh....
Now watch me jump around some MORE!! This part was actually written Thursday...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been in the car most of today, so my iPod has gotten its worth yet again!
I've always loved Steven Curtis Chapman's
Album "This Moment" but today in particular, the song 'You Are Being Loved' really stood out to me. I suppose it's current circumstances....but I really would like you to (if you haven't already!) read the lyrics.
...Ok well mostly these lines here;
So you think love is only for the good enough?
And one thing you’re never gonna be worthy of, but there’s a song being sung over you by the one who breathes life into you
You ought to see the smile you’re bringing to your Father’s face. You ought to hear Him sing His version of Amazing Grace, ‘cause that’s the song being sung over you by the God who breathes life into you
RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT YOU ARE BEING LOVED!!!!!
I think this is such a powerful song....I wish everyone heard it!!! And I don't mean just listened to it. I mean really HEARD it, because its the truth!!!
Now watch me jump around yet AGAIN! (Also written on Thursday)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had a nice.......encounter with a 'semi-operator' today!! (that's the nice way to say truck driver.)
We had stopped at a mall in central North Carolina on our way home While we were getting back in the car, I noticed a small green.....thing.
I figured it was a leaf and went on. I was conversing with my DM about a very serious subject when all of a sudden she gasped, clutched the steering wheel, and rolled off a little phrase I wont publish.
I thought at first that I had seriously upset her within the topic of conversion....then I noticed, a small green worm inching up her arm. I grabbed a napkin because I didn't really want to touch the thing...after all I WAS trying to enjoy my chocolate---aka stress reliever
So I plucked the little sucker off with the napkin and went to brush him out the window. Well then the DM reminded me we were no longer in New York city and I couldn't just throw that napkin out with the worm!!! So I then began to panic because I knew I had already let go of the whole thing....
The napkin flew down the interstate like a freed eagle!!! I gasped, shrieked and then must have made some sort of ridiculous 'Anna face' because the semi in the lane next to us started LAUGHING at me!!!!! Yes, there I was breaking the law and worrying about it and the trucker next door was finding some sort of strange humor in it all!!! So since I was so surprised at his reaction, I ducked back in as fast as I could! Meaning, I hit my little ole head on the car door....which made the guy laugh even MOREEEE!! Well at least I'm humorous? Sure
Hey watch me jump AGAIN!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Had an AWESOME photoshoot today! (SUNDAY!)
Love love love my career...and all the wonderful people that it has brought into my life! I didn't do anything funny today!! I behaved so well......you should be so proud. Just like I am because I found out tonight that my Mother plays the ORGAN!!!! I had no clue!!!
In any case,
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you."
Philippians 4:6-9 KJV
WOW isn't that encouraging?!
Bunches and bunches of love to you all today may you all be as happy as I am right now because I have my super healthy model ice cream...LOVE! ♥
Until next time, your chocolate covered Annuh!!
(I mean I have that yummy stuff all over my mouth...not that I'm a piece of candy for you!!)

last of new york adventures with Joohlay and Annuh....
Wooh last day in New York City!! Rather sad...butttttt what a wonderful excuse to FINALLY start blogging about my.....adventures!!
I might have to start going backwards...but I'll just tell you about today anyways (:
SO TODAYYYYY I went on 2 go sees. The first was a very...uptight modeling angency. We were told that if they said nothing, then we were to leave. But if they asked us to wait in the kitchen, then they were further interested.
So they told me to walk, say my name, age and height...welll I did and then the lady with the extremely thick french accent asked me something that sounded like this: "do you gain weight in the kitchen"
So I replied, "oh no, I'm a dancer I eat well!!! But I DO gain muscle in the gym :)"
She looked at me cross eyed and told me to GO to the kitchen....where I had a lovely chat with my new friend Coraline (yeah...like the movie- _-) from paris who is in school here in NYC! Needless to say, I left a wonderful GOOFBALL affect in their office on Park Ave....
Also, while I was talking to a new booker of mine, he asked if I would model furs, swimwear, lingere, ect. My mother told him that furs are fine...we're from georgia! We even like GUNS!! And that I got a pink one from my birthday! Then he asked about DOGS! I just laughed and told him that I loved dogs! My parents used to breed rottweilers for heavens sake!! Then he said "rottweilers....pink guns....this is a tough family. Aint no boys coming around your house huh??"
I just smiled and said of COURSE not! If I couldn't take em on, that I could at LEAST outshoot and outspit them all. He didn't think I was being serious....ha ha ha
Anoooother memorable story from today is that we had a little FLY in our car. (Yeah, the south isn't the only place infested huh?)
I was totally and completely unaware of the little fellas presence, so when my Mother (now titled 'hoot' 'crazy' and 'joyful' by numerous new NYC acquaintances) begins to flail at the windshield, I was pretty confused...as usual.
when I figured it out, I handed her the closest thing to swat the sucker out the window!! That only happened to be the bottom to my bikini....so while we were completely focused on the fly, I later realized that the people standing on the streets were just starring at us...flailing around what probably appeared to be a pair of black panties.
Well as I'm writing this I am THOROUGHLY enjoying my very first new york pretzel....actually my very first preztel ever...I've always been so darn picky!!
And now we're off to Chester NJ to visit to our 5 times great grandparents graves....bye bye New York city:(
Anyways, a scripture for you all today to end your reading about my crazyness with a blessing:
"He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end"
Ecclesiastes 3:11
So Until next time, bunches of love and blessings,
Anna
