Back to School, Back to School.... to prove to Daddy I'm not a fool.

This Look-A-Like could be a little insulting!

A man from one of the weight loss classes asked me if we were in the same class together (He said I looked like a girl in one of his classes).

OUCH! What is he trying to say??? Do I look like I need to be in a weight loss class??? HAHAHA… I took it with a grain of salt because as we all now know…

I get that A LOT!

"You know, some things don’t matter that much. Like the color of a house. How big is that in the overall scheme of life? But lifting a person’s heart, now that matters. The whole problem with people is they know what matter, but they don’t choose it. The hardest thing in life is choosing what matters.”

"Skye, you have a twin running around out there..."

"I get that A LOT!"

Another look-a-like moment:

One of my co-workers said she could have sworn a girl at church was me. She was so convinced that it was me she started waving. She got so frustrated she even went up to the girl and said my name. Obviously, it wasn't me. But, apparently, I have yet another twin out there!

Ghangsta All Star… or at least that’s what I thought it was!

A few weeks ago, I heard a classic hip hop song on the radio…As I was singing along, I was thinking I need to get this song downloaded. It was seriously taking me back to the good old days of high school. Of course, I don’t have an iphone that has that cool “recognize the song” app, so I was left to remember the song on my own accord. As luck would have it, I couldn’t remember the song. I kept trying to get the tune, but nothing came.

One morning, I thought I remembered the name of the song, so I rush to the computer to do a quick download. As I was typing in the name, I wrote “Ghangsta.” When did gangsta get an “H”? Not thinking too hard about it, I ended up downloading “Gangsta’s Paradise.” Thinking I got the right song, I rushed out the door. As I was listening to it on my commute to work, I realized I got the wrong song. It was definitely not what I wanted.

Throughout the morning, I was frustrated because I really wanted to remember the song. I didn’t have much detail to go off of besides it being a hip hops song, it was partially rap with a melody that a girl was singing, and that it was an older song. If anyone could help me out with such little bit of information, it was going to be Kjell. So I give her a ring and tell her that I don’t have a lot of info, but I just know she would figure it out… I give her the details, and she was like, “Seriously, that’s not much to go off of.” I kept pushing, not giving up. Eventually, Kjell mentions the name “Mya”. DING, DING, DING… She did it!!!! It was the craziest thing- It was like she was in my head!

So eventually, I figure out the song I wanted: Ghetto Superstar (hence the “gh” in Ghangsta). I knew it all along, but didn’t quite have it right.
