Hey my blog friends!!! It's been years...like literally! I must say I kinda missed you. Now I'm not promising that I'm back for good...but I'm here now!
So what's new? I graduated from 'Nova Law in May of 08 (Thank GOD!), moved to Atlanta, Georgia later in May of 08, took the Georgia bar in July of 08, and found out I passed in October of 08 (ain't GOD good!!!), started working (finally) in March of 09, bought my first home in August of 09 (told you HE was good) and here I am today.
The Duke and I are still together (yeah I'm shocked too - 5 whole years - OMG!!!) I'm loving Atlanta. I LOVE my job! Life is AWESOME!!! All the fam & friends are excellent. I honestly couldn't ask for more, the LORD has truly been good to me and I thank HIM every chance I get!
It was so funny to read the old posts and remember what was going on then compared to now - so much as changed, but so much still the same! Hopefully I'll keep it up (but ya'll know I'm a tad trif - LOL)! Just as soon as I have something juicy to post about I'll be back!
Love ya for reading (yeah I stole it from Ms. Wendy - do something bout it - LOL!)

"We Don't Talk No More..."
This post is brought to you by 112's It's Over Now from the Room 112 cd.
I haven't blogged in almost a month now & I'm starting to think that I'm over it. I feel like there are so many other (and more important) things that I can/should be doing. So I think I'm going on hiatus. And it's very probable that the hiatus will be permanent. But never say never. I might be back.
But I will leave you with some words of wisdom (well I think they're wise). Love yourself first. Be true to yourself. Put yourself first. Be honest (lying is so unattractive)! But if you're going to lie, at least be honest with yourself. Find time to love and laugh. Remember that everything happens for a reason (I think it's to teach you a lesson). Be thankful. See the forest, not just the trees. Most important...ENJOY YOUR LIFE!!!
Love Ya...Smooches...Til Next Time...& All That Good Stuff!

Don't Worry, Be Happy???
This post is brought to you by Bobby McFerrin!
I try, I really try but I still worry! It's just some things I don't know about, so I worries. What if I don't pass the bar? What if I can't get a job? Should I take the PA bar? Can I afford to live in Philly? Will I be forced to go back to St. Louis? Do I want to work for a big law firm? Can I really deal w/billable hours? Do I want to work for the gov't? Can I really deal w/the lower pay?
What if...? Should I...? Will I...? Can I...?
I'm just so freaking confused! I know everything is going to work out just fine because I've prayed about and I trust His devine plan!

ASHLEY DANIELLE...
This post is brought to you by the one, the only, the fabulous...ME!!!
I have been inspired by fellow bloggers to write a post all about me. Hopefully you will better understand who Ashley Danielle actually is...
THE FACTS: I am...
I have been inspired by fellow bloggers to write a post all about me. Hopefully you will better understand who Ashley Danielle actually is...
THE FACTS: I am...
- an African-American woman
- a law student
- a daughter/sister/granddaughter/cousin/friend
- 24 years old
- a Scorpio
- the BIGGEST goof ball
- a self-proclaimed fashionista
- a shopaholic
I would do anything for my family and friends. I am extremely loyal. But if you cross me, I AM MEAN! My mommie is one of my bestest friends. I love to laugh. BB, Dez A Man & Daddy make me laugh. I have the strangest family ever and I LOVE IT! I miss Scott aka Big Boy! I'm a big kid. I still like to play dress-up. I love make-up. I LOVE SHOES!!! I'm slightly addicted to the Internet. I live by the motto: work hard, play harder. I miss New Orleans. I HATE girlfriend/boyfriend. I prefer lady & guy friend. I'm very analytical; I over think most things. I have an over-active imagination. I'm a social drinker. I don't do drugs. I've smoked cigars. I like Riesling (esp. Auslese)! I LOVE ME! I am my own best friend. I LOVE MY CURVES! I prefer classy to sexy. The Duke is my favorite. J-Bugg makes me smile. My friends are the BEST! I love sitcoms. I like football. I can do without baseball. The future scares me. The future excites me. I like "gangsta" rap. I love R&B. Carl Thomas, Chrisette Michele, John Legend & T.I. make me VERY HAPPY! So does Billie Holiday & John Coltrane. My movie collection ranges from The Little Mermaid to Office Space to The Godfather Trilogy. I might be considered Eclectic. I am a romantic. I like being girlie, sometimes. I don't have a favorite color. I love sunglasses! I think I'm cuter than I am sexy. I have a very sensitive nose. Everything MUST smell GOOD! I don't like cheese, mustard, or mayo. I had an imaginary friend when I was younger. He went down the drain (literally) when I got older. I like doing impressions. I LOVE Martin Lawrence. Mike Epps & Katt Williams make me laugh too. I can watch the same movie over & over again. I am a boy's girl. I can live without girls. Except TMC, LeeLee, Pook, Princess Nette, E. Bags, & maybe a few others. I like pink toes. I like neutral fingers. I like lilies and orchids. I love stuffed animals. I like big trucks. I love big bags. I want a house. I need a job.
That's all for now. This was kinda fun!

Distant Lover
This post is brought to you by Marvin Gaye!
I am involved in a long distance relationship. When The Duke and I first started talking, I think the distance helped - I tend to have a short attention span when it comes to men and not seeing him everyday (or every weekend for that matter) prevented me from getting tired of him. And we talked on the phone about every night so we were forced to really get to know each other (I know it sounds cliche but we really were friends first). But now, almost 3 years later, I'm not loving the distance. It would be nice to be able to just go on a spur of the moment date or have company whenever you want - not really possible when you're almost 1000 miles away from each other. I try not to complain about it because it's not anyone's fault and there's nothing we can really do to change it right now. But by this time next year, we will both be out of school and hopefully there will be an end in sight.
But I still can't help wondering: What if graduation doesn't "close the gap?" What if it increases it? What if has to last another 3 years? How long will we last with the distance? I guess if that does happen, we would be at a crossroads. We would have to decide if we are content with the distance, if we want to just go our separate ways, or if we are ready to make major changes & go to the next level. And that scares me too! I don't think the next level is a walk down the aisle but it would definitely be at least one level closer (AHHH!!!). Am I really ready to even start thinking about that? Who knows!
I'm just going to enjoy whatever time we do spend together and go wherever GOD leads me/us!

"Don't Lighten Up, Tighten Up!"
This post is brought to you by Big Boom, The Bodyguard for Women's Hearts!
Remember a couple of months ago I wrote a post about the ex-pimp that has written a relationship advice book for women (see "Pimps Down, Hos Up???"). Well I read the book. Um...I think I might be a little too young to really appreciate his advice. The book was definitely interesting and thought-provoking, but I don't think I'm his intended audience. But don't let me discourage you, go ahead and check it out yourself.
Til Next Time.....Smooches Lovers!!!
P.S. The title of this post is one of Big Boom's favorite and most used quotes (and I kinda like it too)!

I Choose Me!
This post is brought to you by Tamia's Between Friends!
NOTE: THIS POST IS FOR THE LADIES!
I was on my way to work this morning, listening to The Steve Harvey Morning Show (yes it's every morning routine) and Me by Tamia came on. Now this was not my first time hearing the song, but it was my first time listening the song. IT IS SO POWERFUL!!! It's basically about a woman saying, I can no longer put you (a man) before me. The most powerful and profound statement in the song is: "If I have to choose, I choose me!"
No matter how strong we are, we all need a little reminder that no matter how great he is or how much he loves you, YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE YOURSELF! I'm sure we have all been in a relationship/situation where we start doing things that we wouldn't usually do, you step back to assess the situation and realize you've become that "I'll-do-anything-for-my-man-no-matter-how-foolish-I-look" type of woman that you pity and vowed never to become (it's nothing to be ashamed of, it happens to the best of us). But at that moment in time you need/must/have to remember to CHOOSE YOU!
Keep in mind that "choosing you" might mean leaving him! All relationships do not mean forever. But there is a purpose for everything (rememer the old saying "reason, season, or lifetime"). So if you must leave that relationship, make sure you take with you GOD's lesson and remember it always.
Thank you Ms. Tamia for reminding us of our self-worth! And ladies next time you start loosing yourself in your relationship, remember the lyrics of this song:

-verse-
Love was a former owner, but quiet is renting our house
It seizes my lips from speaking, but forms a sarcastic smile
Suspense now raised one of your eyebrowes
You ask me if there's someone elseI replied yes, hell yes
You asked me if it's another man, I say no
You laughed and say is it a woman, I say yeah
Surprisingly you asked me for honey's name
-chorus-
And her name is me,
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that loving you and loving me
Just don't seem to work at all
So patiently, she's waiting on me to tell you
That she needs love
And to choose between you two, boy you know
If I have to choose, I choose me
-verse-
And she told me to tell you to never to hurt me again
Cuz if you haven't heard she's a bad chick
Even though I haven't been, no
Yet and still you try and test me by raisin' an angry hand
Put it down, put it down
I'm leavin don't try and stop me, (no)
I'm late and she is waiting, (yes)
My love for me is too much so I can't stay
-chorus-
And her name is me,
And she loves me more than you'll ever know
And I finally see that loving you and loving me
Just don't seem to work at all
So patiently, she's waiting on me to tell you
That she needs love
And to choose between you two, boy you know
If I have to choose, I choose
Cuz she's actually formin' a threesome
And I'm happy that I can join them, and
There names are me, myself and I
-chorus-
And her name is me,
She's waiting on me to tell you that she needs love,
Gotta choose between you two, and you knowIf
I have to choose,
I choose me, me, I gotta go with me
