My Christmas Vacation!

My first Christmas away from Cincinnati was one to remember! If you didn't already know, I got married June 27, 2008, and the one thing we really had to strategically plan was our Christmas Vacations! So this year we headed to South Bend, IN on Tuesday afternoon. Usually takes 4.5 hours, but our adventure lasted 8. Cars were all over the roads, after freezing rain dropped on the MIDWEST! Christmas Day, we left for Hinsdale, Illinois (Indian Hill of Chicago) for another Christmas. We left Yesterday at 1:30 and it took us another 7 hours because of ICEY roads! After all the travel, I was excited to get back home to MY CHRISTMAS Presents to myself...

Hope your guys Christmas was as good as MINE!
Now I get to spend Christmas with my FAM this weekend.

LenDale Disrespects Steelers, and I LOVE it!

Eventhough they are pretty good, I still hate them, and I am glad to see a TROJAN disrespecting the DIRTIEST team in the NFL.

This Is Funny!

She definitely is not the EPITOME of a White Girl!

Recession....WHAT?

The New York Yankees are back to being the NEW YORK YANKEES. After missing the postseason for the first time in 14 years, the Bronx Bombers are spending money like there is NO tomorrow! Eventhough the country is going through a financial crisis right now, the Yankees dropped $161 million over 7 years for C.C. Sabathia and $82.5 million over 5 years to A.J. Burnett.

And they aren't done yet. The New York post is reporting that the team is pursuing Mark Texiera pretty hard now too. Expected to sign around $160 million, the slugger could be to much for the rich Yankees. But Manny Ramirez is also said to be "plan B" if they can't ink the first basemen.

Pretty decent "Plan B!!"

SOLE: Passion!

I can remember being the only White kid with the new Jordan's at Finneytown. I wasn't rocking them for a fashion statement, but more importantly, loved the man.....MJ..#23! Precisely, I can remember being on my 8th grade school trip in Washington D.C. anticipating the return to our hotel room from a long day visiting the Lincoln and Washington monuments. The only thing on my mind was the Bred Jordan XI "patent leather," in a size 8. Finally made it back to the room, only to hear my Mom tell me this was the last pair they would get me!

To make a long story short, my Dad went to pick them up at Northgate Finish Line. After waiting in line for 45 minutes, he finally made it to the front, when the cashier was handing out the last 8 to a guy behind him, my Dad became heated (for those of you that know my Dad....Well you could only imagine!) exchanged a few words with him. Needless to say, he left the mall without my Kicks.

At the time, my Mom was working in Swifton, so my Dad called her and she ran over to Swifton Commons and picked me up a pair. If you are familiar with the area, you know it is not safe for a lady 4'11" walking, by herself, with a brand new pair of Jordans! But she got them...

In the end, I couldn't wait to return home from D.C. to get my J's!!!

This isn't the first story, and it won't be the last. I have owned over 1000 pair of shoes, I have sold, traded, and given many pairs away, but this PASSION will continue for the rest of my life.

I have done crazy things to obtain these HOLY GRAILS, but the search is the funnest part. Countless hours on eBay and numerous websites, along with multiple trips to New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philly, and any other store I can get to. I have met people all over the world, and can count on a handful of them to help me out in a pinch...Well..... within reason! Some shoes are so RARE, it's damn near impossible to cop them unless you are the MAN himself!

Ultimately, I have met many great friends through these experiences, used money to put down on a house, buy an engagement ring, and pay off school loans, but there are still shoes that I will never get rid of, because they have special meaning to them! I am down to about 100 pairs now, which consist of Jordan's and Air Max, but at 26, I can't wait to have my own son, and carry on this tradition!!

Weezy.......Yet Again!
