Cleaning out my closet

Sooooo, I've been contemplating creating a blog and tah-da I finally did it!  I'm not sure what I will center my posts around, however, I can guarantee you will be entertained.....my life...your entertainment!
I guess I could start by giving an update on ME! (Everybody loves talking about themselves, right?)
Well, as many of you know, I am in the big city of JACKSON, MS.  I am currently the Marketing/Public Relations Coordinator for Madison County EDA.  I really enjoy what I do, and the people I work with.  If you know me, you know that's a BIG DEAL. 

Since I promised to keep you guys entertained, I will share a little story with you. 
On yesterday, we had Coffee with U.S. Senator Thad Cochran.  Of course, this was a pretty big deal...I mean we had distinguished business men and women from Madison County in attendance.  So, being the social butterfly that I am (at times), I pranced around the lobby, awaiting visitors and issuing name tags.  After everyone was in and seated, we begin the program.  Halfway through Sen. Cochran's speech, I began to feel light headed and extremely hot.  Being the paranoid person I am, I felt as though every eye in the room was on me.  To prevent passing out in front of everyone, I decided to sneak out a side door.  I'm not so sure this was the best idea.....by the time I made it to the door, my knees collapsed.  Some random guy, helped me to a seat and got me a bottle of water. To make a long story short, I ended up paying ( literally) the doctor a visit.  I was told I have the stomach virus. It's  pretty shocking that I've never had it before!...I guess there really is a first time for everything.
Needless to say, it wouldn't be ToyaRae if I didn't nearly black out during such an important event. 

What did I learn from this? Well, I really have to start taking better care of myself.  You may not be able to prevent the stomach virus, but there are other measures that can be taken to prevent constant sickness.  I hate having such a weak immune system...if the wind blows the wrong way, I get sick:(
In the near future (b/c I know my sister will kill me if I don't) I am going to start a healthier lifestyle.  I truly belive what you eat today, affects your health tomorrow.

XOXO
