Guilty Pleasures, Barack Obama, And A Meltdown Of Epic Proportions

Hey hey hey everybody! Did you miss me? Of course you did! LOL. I missed you guys too! Babies, vixen's exhausted.

I just want to stop and take a moment to tell you guys how happy your comments make me! You have no idea how much I look forward to reading them. I appreciate you guys for coming by my blog, and here's a big ol' HI! to all my new readers...adding you to the blogroll soon. : )

So I know you guys are wondering if I'm eating, and yes, I am. I had to. I was so weak it was to the point where I felt nauseous everytime I bent down to tie my shoes. I'm taking it slow because I know that I can't be cured overnight....this is really hard for me. I've had the urge to throw up everytime I eat but I'm fighting it. I can't let this eating disorder kill me. I went to my eating disorder support group meeting on Thursday night, and Victoria was there. She is the coolest white girl ever! I can tell we're going to be really good friends.

Um...what else? There's not too much going on in the life of vixen. Things with my twin sister are getting a little better. She's trying to do better with the kids, but I'm still doing a majority of the brunt work. Why, you ask? Because I love my neices and my nephew and I want them to have the best. The other night my 5 year old nephew said to me, 'auntie why do you work so much?' and it was then that I realized that I'm doing this for them. I love those kids more than the air I breathe.


Now, on to Mr. Barack Obama!!! I live in Nashville, and he's in town today! They blocked the street where my job is so that he can get to the debate tonight, and I saw him! Yep, you read right! I saw BARACK O-FREAKIN-BAMA!!! He waved at me from his car!!! AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! I almost had a freakin heart attack I was so excited that he waved that me! That man is just brilliant, amazing, talented, and beautiful! He's the father I've always wanted. Seeing him made my whole day and it really gave me hope that things are going to change in our country. He's going to be a great president. AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH I can't believe that brilliant man waved at me!

Anywhos..... I had a meltdown of epic proportions after I left work last night. I was thinking about how much my life has changed since I'm not with him anymore. He was my first boyfriend. Breaking up is so hard to do. It just hit me like a ton of bricks....wow, it's really over. I cried so much last night. I get a pain in my chest everytime I think about him. I miss being his girlfriend so much. *plays 'Can't Let Go' by Mariah Carey*

On to more fun things......
This is a list of songs that I consider to be my gulity pleasure songs. (This is a music blog, after all!)




What are your guilty pleasures? Musically and otherwise? Let me know in the comments!

Peace and Blessings,
vixen

♥ CG ♥ said...

Hey mami! I'm so glad you're feeling better. Whew, I try not to think about my guilty pleasures too much not to mention they're too outlandish to put in cyberspace :).

luvinyounow said...

So glad you decided to write!

Breakups are SUPER hard, so just cry whenever you feel like crying. I think the worst thing to do is to try and hold it in.

BARACK WAVED AT YOU!!!! I'm soooo jealous.

Guilty Pleasures? All of those stupid reality shows that come on VH1 that I always say I'm not gonna watch. I Love New York, Flavor of Love, From G's to Gents, Rock of Love, etc.

Anonymous said...

I'm pullling for you vixen...you have to take one day at a time! OMG I'm a twin too...I have a brother tho...We're like kindred sisters lol!

YBW said...

It's good to see you back. I know fighting any illness is hard and it's fantastic that you're staying on top of it. I just wanted to say be careful of the people you meet in your support groups because while it's great to have someone who understands your problem you guys can unwittingly enable each other.
On a more postive note those babies are blessed to have such a loving auntie, and the reality is that the love you show them today will make everything better for them tomorrow. You're a bigger gift than you know Miss. Keep up the good work.

Dope Fiend said...

F.U. said...

Vixen my luv! So glad you stopped by AND even happier that things sound like they are getting better. I'm not sure what's the deal with your sister but I just want to tell you if you keep doin everything for her and her kids, she'll never do anything for herself and even more importantly be a mother to her kids.

So happy you are eating! And you saw Barack!!! Lucky!!!! That can only be a sign of major fabulousness to come!

P.S. before you know it, you will find love again....

iCandy21 said...

Aww pooh pooh head..I'm so proud of you for realizing that you not eating was causing you to become ill, and taking the responsibility of doing what u can to get over your illness!! *hugs* I have faith in you honey!!

Crying is something God gave us to do as a form of release! It's ok to cry b/c normally, even though nothing changes from crying, you feel a little better after you do it.

Awwww shit! Mr. Obama waved at u! you was hype lol

anyway, glad u blogged!! don't let it take u two more weeks to blog again lol

Unknown said...

It's good to hear you are doing well, and I'm so jealous of you for seeing Barack! As far as guilty pleasures, mine would have to be Barbra Streisand.

Shubby Doo said...

'love those kids more than the air I breathe.'

-vixenchick you have a beautiful soul.

re: crying when thinking about you ex
- it's allowed...i used to listen to Mariah's 'breakdown'when it was me...and of course the floodgates opened...crying is good...it allows you to heal

OMG Barack Obama waved at you. I get hype just watching him represent on TV. I'd a been claiming him.
"Yep there goes my uncle" lol
Break- ups can be tough but you're tougher.
You're leading a good example for your niece and nephew.

My guilty pleasure would def hafta be shoes.

Apinke said...

sorry bout the break up, its always tough but u've gotten past the toughest stage: admitting that you have to break up and actually breaking up. but i can assure it, u'll get over it faster than u ever thot, i mean, i thot i was gonna die last dec and see me!

guilty pleasures, u really really dont wanna know!):

desirae! said...

don't let this disorder get this best of you. don't let it victimize you, you show it whos boss.

&&breaking up is not the business. it's sucks in everyway imaginable. but i'm wishing you all the loveandluck in the world.

your sisters kids are lucky to have you. :) hell, your sister is lucky to have you too

Truthful Trish said...

yooooooooooooooooooooooooo your playlist is on point..and O-M-G you brought it back with Robyn "show me love" that used to be my song lol..like i really forgot about that song lol

Ms. Go Getter said...

Girl I'm having a hard time getting over my ex (can't even look at his pics) but I'm trying to keep it together at the same time...anywho, musically, Aaliyah and 112 are my current guilty pleasures with a little bit of old school Janet on the side :)

[flahy] [blak] [chik] said...

it starts with one day at a time...i went through the same thing from the time i was 11-19, no one knew until I was in college...but today I can say I have healthy habits...I'll keep u in my prayers!

All-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalo said...

u better be eatting folk

A.M. said...

glad to see things are shapin up for you.

Don't be pushing up on my Barack like that...lol HE was at my school on SAt but like at 6am and my back pain wouldn't allow me to get out of bed...ugh

my guilty pleasure song: Workin em by lil wayne, I know I shouldn't like it but I do :)

The BC Globetrotter said...

hola.

ahhh i WISH el presidente (fingers crossed lol)would come to my school/area. and i definitely have a playlist called guilty pleasures so i guess vulgar songs and boy bands... quite a combo lmao.

Anonymous said...

Girl, I could listen to "Can't let go" over and over and over again. I just love that song! Mariah in her heyday. But, re: the ex, I've BEEN there. BELIEVE ME when I tell you! I was so hurt and angry that I couldn't sleep... and I NEVER have a problem going to sleep. If anything, you have to keep me entertained so I don't fall asleep on you past a certain hour. LOL! But, it's just going to take time. It may take a while, or it may happen sooner rather than later... but it does... gradually... get easier. Believe me.

As for my guilty pleasure, I think it has to be Facebook. I just joined a few weeks ago and I swear I must log in 5-10 times a day. It's really sad. LOL.

Glad you've been eating! =)

Diva's Thoughts said...

I am really glad you are getting better with the eating disorder.

Miss Definitely Maybe said...

Im glad you are getting better I have suffered from (and thankfully am fully recovered from)an eating disorder so i kind of know what you must be ging through.

Amber Steez said...

First off.. you saw Barack.. i would of been lightweight geeked too.

and crying is healthy. i always hold a lot in and break down randomly.

But my guitly pleasures are Bob Marley, spending all my money on clothes and shoes, Starbucks, Mt. Dews, Twix, Texting while drunk... and blogging =)

Beautifully.Conjured.Up said...

Barack waved at you?! OMG, I would have been an official stalker if that happened to me.

Let that dude go and thrive in your life. Remember, things fall apart so that better things can come together.

Guilty Pleasures...lets see...
Music = Ladies of the disco era; Old School Rock and Roll, esp. Jimmy Hendrix and Janis Joplin (I can listen to them EVERYDAY).

Teems said...

New to your blog. great post. My guilty pleasure...cheese. Musically, this girl Anna Nalick, Reality TV, But thats really a couple. I'd have to give it more thought.

Jade said...
