Hanging With Ford at The Go Further Tour in Atlanta!

By -

 

A couple of weeks ago I got an invitation in my inbox to the Ford Motor Company “Go Further Tour”. It mentioned something about an “All Electric car, EcoBoost, and test-drive. I immediately jumped all over it and RSVP’d for the event. I had a thought that flashed through my mind about me driving by, waving to the crowd in a ford vehicle, with a bit a flyness sounded coo, lol. I can dream can’t I??

I had a great time as I always do at events like these and got to whip around in the parking lot in an all electric vehicle that was the quietest little thing. I felt like the danger in that however, is that it’s difficult for pedestrians to hear the car coming and might blindly walk out in front of it like in a parking lot or small street. Everything else about it was pretty cool, like the way it lights up when it’s ready to drive. The attendees got to vote on where an EV charging station would go in Atlanta. If you own and electric vehicle you know how important it is to have charging stations at convenient locations. You will also be happy to know that Walgreens has started setting up their own charging stations.

Ford, City of Atlanta, and Clean Cities-Atlanta teamed up to make this presentation a pleasant one for us folks here in Atlanta. They gave us the opportunity to help spread the good news about the Ford Focus Electric and Ford Escape with EcoBoost. I test drove the Ford Escape with EcoBoost with Tami from @talkingwithtami and we had a blast trying to figure out how to get the car started. This was mine and her first time driving a car like this. It was smooth, quiet, and very, very easy to drive. I can see why this vehicle will be an aid in keeping Atlanta clean because of it’s capacity to use less fuel and according to Ford for it’s CO2 Emmisions. Check out the link, good info.

The presentation was held at the good ‘ole Atlanta Zoo so I, Tami, and Arkeeda from @itsarkeedah got the opportunity to walk around the zoo and visit some of the animals. It was a fun day and I did miss the fact that I was at the Zoo and my babies weren’t with me. There will be another time, I’m sure.

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
