Being Just Melody

Time to move…

Dear Self,

Get off your ass girl!

It’s time to reboot the system and get back to working out, because you know what? You’re not as young as you look and you body doesn’t do what it used to. Those cookies are sticking to your thighs and those drinks settled right on your hips… The pants are getting tighter and you’re just not comfortable. So it’s time to move.

Love, A Complicated Melody

So this is my public commitment to start working out. I have been avoiding it like the plague! But something has to be done. It’s summer and I can’t wear my cut summer clothes feeling pudgy… Running works for me, so I think I’m going to stick with that. I’m so not a morning person, so late evening runs it will be. Plus, I promise to use my Wii Fit that I paid all that money for.

I don’t diet. Period. BUT I do believe in portion control. The less you put in, the less you have to work out. I don’t count calories or grams of fat. I don’t cut out carbs or meat. I just less of what we know can be bad and stop when I’m full.

Sometimes you have to challenge yourself… So I’ve said it. Now I have to stick with it.

Double U Tee Eff… What is the world coming to these days? Talk about Jesus take the wheel… Literally!

A 17-year-old mother with a toddler in tow stabbed a Regional Transit Authority bus driver in the chest Tuesday after refusing to comply with a request to fold up her baby stroller, RTA and New Orleans police officials said.

Authorities said the trouble began when Darrion Scott, 17, pushed a stroller carrying her 2 1/2-year-old child onto a bus shortly before 1 p.m. at the Gretna terminal.

Bus driver Hanella Johnson, 41, told authorities she informed Scott of the standard bus policy: Riders must fold baby strollers and keep them out of the aisle. As a driver for 18 years, Johnson can recite the rule from memory.

Scott refused to fold the stroller, though she paid the $1.25 fare, authorities said.

Johnson said she asked again. Scott refused and took a seat among eight other passengers, the upright stroller next to her.

Johnson said she continued through Algiers on the Gen. Meyer Avenue route.

About 15 minutes later, the bad blood came to a boil as the bus neared the intersection of St. Nick Drive.

Scott tore the top off a baby bottle of milk, doused Johnson and then pulled a knife and lunged at the driver, authorities said. The knife’s point plunged four inches into Johnson, just below her right breast, officials said.

The stabbing was witnessed by passengers and caught on the bus surveillance cameras, authorities said. It also shocked everyone at the RTA. SOURCE

This is the type of ish that keeps me from riding public transportation!
