Toledo Baby & Family Expo

Today I get to do something a bit out of the box. I'm modeling maternity clothing in a fashion show held at Westfield Shopping Center. I hear there will be thousands of people which makes me a bit nervous, but you only live once right. As long as I don't over-heat, we'll be fine. I hope to have a great time and something fun to talk about in the future. I've been catching up on America's Next Top Model episodes just to be on the safe side! lol.

Check out the clothing boutique for whom I will be modeling:

Sassy Belly located in Sylvania, OH

Walk With Me- Passage # 2

Riiing! Riiiiiing! Ugh!

Why is she calling me?! April knows this is my day to sleep in.

I’m not answering the phone.

Riiiiiing! Riiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

Tracie: What April?!

Timidity and anxiety linger on the line.

April: Tracie?

Tracie: What?!

April: In warped April speed: I’m sorry to wake you up, but you know it’s really important that’s why I called you back.

Tracie: Sigh. What?

April: Well the other day I called the radio station trying to win the new 50 Cent cd.

Tracie: Sitting up in the bed

April: Well, they called and said that I won the cd and they would enter me in another drawing or something. I really wasn’t paying attention cause I just wanted to be sure that they had my correct information so I could get the cd.

Tracie: Yeah?

April: Well, this morning my phone rang and I started not to answer it cause you know I thought somebody was just playing on my phone

Tracie: She knows I do not like suspense!

April: Well....

TRACIE I WON!!!!

Tracie: What?!

April: In super-duper warped April speed: I WON TICKETS TO 50 CENT’S ALBUM RELEASE PARTY! I KNOW THIS IS SHORT NOTICE BUT I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD DROP EVERYTHING TO COME WITH ME!

Tracie: Jumping from deep under the covers, straight to the floor. What?! Are you serious? Wait, wait, wait. Slow down. Are you serious?!

April: Yes! I don’t have all the details yet, but you have to get here (Philadelphia)

Tracie: What about school? Do I have to come now? What airport should I fly into? I’m on the computer now…..

Fast Forward~
1 accident, 2 airports, 3 hours in the car, 4 hours of sleep, 5 minutes too late, 6 hours on the train, 7th floor of the hotel

I can’t believe this is happening…

April, we have to get dressed.

So glad you took that Walk With Me!

Walk With Me- Passage # 1

February 3, 2005

Whisking me off to the University of Toledo Student Union. The BSU & Multicultural Student Center host “Hip Hop as a Tool for Participation and Activism” featuring Talib Kweli.

Little did I know, I’d see him there. Long white sleeves exposed from under the black tee. Doo rag and jeans. Timbs too, I presume. He stands tall against the backdrop.

Does he notice me? Does he even remember me? What’s different about this night? I squint across the crowd. I’ve seen him a million times before. He used to ask so many questions…Hmm?

Startled as the fog rolls away. God whispers his name- Greg!

The journey begins….

Glad you took the Walk With Me!
