May Vacation 2013 - Day 4

So it's Wednesday now, good ole HUMP DAY which means my vacation is half way over BUT I won't harp on that. I have been invited to a weekend in Orlando and a day cruise out of Vero Beach. I'd never heard of that before but it sounds like it's going to be fun in the sun on the beach ... oh I'm all FOR that!

As a result of this invitation I had to do a little shopping. I have a tankini (tank bathing suit top and boy short type bottoms) but I don't want to wear that so I had to find a nice 2 piece. *shivers at the thought* I've always been plus size so this whole 2 pieces of little material thing is not setting too well with me BUT I will get conquer this! I've come a long way so I should be proud to be able to flaunt a 2 piece ... yea right!! *in Reverend Adnoid voice* ANYWAY ... time to shop!!

There is a mall about 10 minutes away from me but I chose to go all the way to Rivercity Marketplace, where my job is located. I have to take 2 buses to get there instead of 1 shuttle ride to the mall near me. *shrugs* Oh well ... to Ross, Body Central, Rue21, Old Navy and Maurices I go! I love bargain AKA cheap shopping because losing 50 lbs and having to replenish an entire wardrobe is COSTLY!

Sister girl found a $5 dress for the beach out of Ross and bikini from Wal-Mart. That OP joint was $6.49 for each piece, I couldn't pass that up EVEN THOUGH I am not secure in wearing those little bottoms.

LORD BE WITH ME!! Those pictures may not EVER make it to the world wide web but oh well and that ended the shopping. OH and some new undies, can't travel with old joints. *laughs*

NOW to get to what I do and love best ... HOSTING and tonight I had to do just that! Some of you may or may not know but I used to be an on-air personality for HOT 105.7 FM here in Jacksonville, FL and I also emcee/host events. I used to be the co-host for Nokturnal Escape's SOUL RELEASE Poetry/Live events. Tiffany Duhart and Emmanual Washington did an AWESOME job bringing the best artists to Duval as well as showcasing artist from Duval. Ask anybody about Black Erotica ... man oh man, well anyway a tribute in their honor was put on and I hosted.

It felt like old times seeing some of the poets and musical artist show up and show love to the longest standing live/poetry event to date in this area. There was poetry, singing and even miming to some good ole Marvin Sapp at the event. It was definitely an event to remember and I am so glad I could be a part of it. So sorry I haven't any pictures but I was too busy enjoying the night which ended after midnight! Oh what a day and now its on to Day 5 ...
