confessions and life 11:11 am
I have a confession. I have a crush on a guy in my social science class. He’s super smart, fresh and so so clean….and he’s married. I stay far away from him. His personality is magnetic. I was thinking this morning and I can’t ever recall having this kinda crush on a married man. A week after I told Bible boy that we weren’t compatible (I don’t think I gave him a name before..he’s no longer relevant, but for the sake of this post let’s go with that) he called me to have me RE-explain why I’m not interested. He didn’t think I gave it a fair try. It seems in an effort to convey how serious he is/was about me he told me that he’s liked me ever since I was married.
I’m aware enough to know that I have a crush on this guy and because I know I do I need to stay away. To put it in a different perspective, if I had a lapse in judgment, I don’t think he would be moved because I see dude as a really good guy…as such he wouldn’t allow it either…at least I’d like to think.
Which brings me to exactly how do people say “It just happened”? Have you ever flirted with this kind of temptation? Tell the truth and shame the devil! If so, how did you end up on that slippery slope. Was it in your younger…dumber years. I’m really interested..you can comment anonymously.
As for me…I say hey from a distance and keep it moving. He’s that bright eyed…nice smile…Morris.Chest.nut chocolait!

Jesus take the wheel 3:31 pm
I’ve been suffering with a headache for days. It feels like a sinus headache…it hurts all over. Trying to complete my research paper has been especially challenging because of this pain.
I believe in drugs, but the pain comes and goes when it feels like it. I have too much going on to be disabled this way.
I’m going to class to turn in my paper and then I’m going home.
Say a prayer for me…thanks.
Black satin… Tuesday, Nov 17 2009

…is the dress that I chose. Although, I REALLY liked the origami dresses, when I got them in my size they boxed me in too much…I didn’t have a waist. I could get it tailored, but I don’t feel like it.
I felt beautiful in the black satin dress. Everything was just right. Yes I’m posing in the filing room…lol. I haven’t replaced my digital camera yet, and my phone doesn’t give good light.
I tasted mushroom stuffed with mandarin oranges. I people watched…batted my lashes a few times. We had a champagne toast and I headed home. It was a lovely night. (sidenote: Nene from RHOA was there. She’s not as big as I thought. )

You’ve engaged to a guy that you’ve dated for several years. You have a child together. After bouts of him cheating you’ve decided you want out of the relationship. You plan to “celebrate” your anniversary, take advantage of the material gifts you’ll receive, and then deliver the blow.
Then his Dad dies…what do you do?

fashion and beauty and life and my girls and my salon stories 11:35 pm
More than a year ago my hair was cut in layers. Recently I’ve been really unhappy with the overall shape of my hair, and not pleased with the scraggly back layer . So I decided I’d get it cut. Then Friday night I decided that I’d cut it myself. That’s just what I did. I did a lil count down in my head and just went for it. I cut everything below the line.
(more…)

fashion and beauty and life and random 12:23 am
Ok so when I tried on the plum dress and I did the about face turn that us ladies ALWAYS do when checking ourselves out in the mirror this was playing in my head “MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD” lol
I picked up some cute accessories for the two final dresses I’m debating on. When I walked out of the store I heard this “DON’T CALL IT COMEBACK I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS”.
When I found out that my royal blue “die for” shoes are gone, I heard “ALL I DO IS THINK OF YOU…DAY AND NIGHT” *sigh*
What’s your latest theme song?
FRIDAY!!! Friday, Nov 13 2009
fashion and beauty 9:37 am
I’m soooo happy it’s Friday. My eyebrows are doing well in recovery. I’ve been able to do a pretty good job with a pencil.
Yesterday I received an invite to attend a cocktail event. It’s Monday night, and I have class so I had to really think about it. Well who am I to not accept an opportunity to get dolled up and rub elbows?? Ha!
Then my brain went into overdrive…what am I going to wear?????? Oh the angst! I hit a couple of stores last night and I have a few to select from. Let me know what you think.
First up is ablack satin cocktail dress with bra like straps (removable).
Next is honestly my favorite dress…though this was tooo tight cut wrong. I’m going to get the next size up this afternoon. It’s a heavier, material and it’s an Origami type black cocktail dress.
Next is the same dress in navy. I told you I liked it 
This dress really didn’t fit at all…CURSES. In fact, its a size smaller than the black one. I say that to say that as a result its really hiked up in the front. Sans wrinkles and better fit it’ll lay nicer. Can you picture it?
Don’t judge me!
I forgot I had this dress. It’s much more conservative than the others, and it would cost me nothing. I thought it too could be in the running.
So what do you think? I am seeking commentary on each one. What you like..what you don’t like.
Pressing forward Thursday, Nov 12 2009
Yesterday I took the day off to a) spend some time with the girls b) get a lil extra morning rest c) catch up on some school assignments d) have a new bathroom cabinet installed. Not all in that order, but I needed to accomplish these things.
I spoke to my maintenance guy at 9:15…he said he’d be 30 minutes. Thirty minutes quickly elapsed into 3 hours. He didn’t show up until 12:30. I planned to take the girls to a 1:30 movie. I considered just leaving and re-scheduling in a few weeks. I have things to do. When he arrived he sucked his teeth and cursed, showed me that my sing is too small for the new cabinet that was ordered. Imagine that? I was beyond aggravated. Who orders a cabinet willy nilly without measuring the space AND the sink…hard? So after hours of waiting that didn’t get done. My frustration triggered a headache, T wasn’t dressed so I scrapped the movie idea and laid down.
T’s tutor came around 4…I’m giving her the side-eye…a story for another day. Bird and I set out for my mom’s house. I borrowed a movie from her that the girls have been wanting to see. We ate dinner, and then I put the movie on for them.
By this time it was 6:30 and I had no idea where alll my time had gone. The one thing that I didn’t put any effort into was my school work. There was no way I would get anything done at home. There are distractions everywhere..namely my bed. I soooo didn’t want to go, but I thought about the difference between those that are succesful and those that aren’t, and I pulled myself together. I headed out to Barnes&Noble. Funny how I thought I had the greatest idea for a study venue. We musta all been geniuses because it was PACKED! I managed to get the last table. It was chilly so I got a tall french vanilla latte. FOUR DOLLARS+! I’ll be bringing my own hot beverage next time.
My battery died so I didn’t stay very long. They had their outlets covered with labels that read “do not touch”…they ain’t having folx draining all their electricity…I thought that was so funny. I headed home, but I was sooo glad that I got out. It’s a good environment for me to get my assignments done…I’m pressing forward. A day off is always a day ON, but it’s ok. It’ll be paying off before I know it.
