Weekend turn-out Monday, Feb 23 2009

Ya know when I first started blogging I had this genius idea about titling my Monday post as “weekend wrap-up”, then I realized that ERE’BODY titles it as “weekend wrap-up” HA! Ok, so from here on out it’s going to be titled “weekend turn-out”, I’m sooo genius and original!!  lol

I picked up a few books from Barnes and Noble on Friday.  I was in the christian section when I overhead a girl on the phone say “Oh I just saw Choosing God’s Best” I interrupted and then apologized and told I LOVED that book.  We squealed together and exchanged contact info.  I have some ideas and when I get it up and running I’d like to contact her.

So the girls had to sing on Saturday, they did a great job.  I had my debut as an URsher..it went well.  What was crazy surprising is that one guy walked by and said “I’m glad to see you ushering“, one lady said “Oh I see they have you working” People notice me????  At the end of service I walked to the back of the sanctuary to take my post before it was time to usher the folx out.  This guy says to me “Don’t look so nervous” I didn’t feeeeel nervous.  I don’t even know these people’s names and it would be crazy if they knew mine.

Saturday evening we stayed home…very low key.  I caught up on some of my dvr programs.  To be honest I was a bit bored.  Not dating will take a lil getting used to.  Bird wanted to spend the night at R’s house.  He never returned her call.

Uggs pt II Saturday, Feb 21 2009

Okay my fave attorney gave T a pair of Ugg-like boots that she’d only worn a couple of times.  This chick T said “Um..these aren’t Uggs” *eyes stretched*.  She went on about the lil tag in the back…ya know in case I didn’t know!  Yes I’m surprised…YES YES YES!  She’s never been brand conscious before *sigh*.  Thebrokesocialite jinxed me!

Dear TheBrokeSocialite;

I recall gazing with admiration at your Uggs.  You were standing near the staircase in Monnie’s house still in your pj’s.  No lie the love that has now consumed me started because of you. *sigh*  You’re causing such havoc.  Yes I will need your ebay services.

Thank you in advance.

Ok, so another thing is this…do ya’ll buy expensive gifts for your kids randomly?  Her birthday is in May.  I’m wondering if I should wait.  Are ya’ll chirrens as old as mine?  I’m thinking not.  I’m going to have to create some kind of incentive.  She did have a good progress report.  I’m going to think about an incentive.

Hair glorious hair Thursday, Feb 19 2009

My hair feels soooo light and fluffy…its wonderful! My guy Sebastian is fantastic, but he ain’t cheap.  So I can only afford him on occasions.  In any case, yesterday when I got home T loved my hair…but she was upset that I cut it.

As far as the color, I think the pics I posted yesterday don’t really depict the true color.  He’s another one….I think there’s a difference…you tell me.  I don’t think its as brassy.

I’ve been bitten… Thursday, Feb 19 2009

…by the Ugg bug.  I absolutely loathed these boots when they came out.  Ugg was short for Ugly.  I’m not a trend follower so I didn’t give a ugg who wore ‘em.  NOW, I must have a pair.  Whoda thunkit?  T wants a pair as well.  She can fuggedaboutit.  One of my favorite attorneys emailed this to me.  I think I’ll treat her to these and these. 

I will use restraint until allll of my bills are paid this month, and then I’ll be ordering mine. 

What ya’ll think about Uggs?

*cue Shania Twain* I feel like a Woman Wednesday, Feb 18 2009

LOL! I got my hair trim and curled…It’s the little things that make me happy.  My hair has grown out a bit since it was last cut.  It’s growing out nicely but I felt so blah because it didn’t good definition.  I went to my guy and he hooked me up with this lil curly do, which I love! but every flippin time I leave with a curly-do it starts to rain or some kinda precipitation!  The forecast did not call for rain today! I think..

This is how it looked the last time he did the curly do…I was still in the salon..pre-rain attack.

Family Fun Wednesday, Feb 18 2009

This is how I spent Valentine’s Day.  We had a great time at the Harlem Globetrotters game.  Here are few pics.

We got to meet some of the players.  They were so nice.

I also took my god-daughter and her friend.  Bird referred to her as “he”. When they corrected her…she was like I SAID “He!” She didn’t understand the problem…Then she was like “Oh, you’re a she”  *embarassing*

We had great seats

hmm…that right? Tuesday, Feb 17 2009

Last night I heard 4 messages…FOUR messages left by some lil boy calling for T.  The kids are out of school this week, it seems this kid is on a road trip, calling her and he reaches various states.  “Hi T…I’m in north carolina now..kinda miss you…and I promise to bring you something back..and a lil something extra if you know what I mean” *EYES STRETCHED*.  He’s passing the phone back and forth between he and some other kid who is like “hi, I hope I can meet you soon“.  In these messages he ends repeating I.LOVE.YOU.  Let me not forget to mention a couple of these calls came in at the 6 am hour.

Situations like these it would be kinda nice if a Dad were active.  I’mma nip this in the bud.

Jesus take the wheel.

I’m on break.. Monday, Feb 16 2009

…wooohooo! No school this week.  I have tons of work to do.  Last week my essay was returned to me from my Logic and Argumentation class.  My favorite instructor in the entire world gave me an A+ and she wrote on it GO TO LAW SCHOOL! Man…I almost cried.  Not because of the A+, tho it was greatly appreciated.  She believes in me, and if I ever reach a low where I may not believe in myself I’m going to remember what she wrote.

I had Dr. Calvet last semester.  She’s the best, not because I got an A- in her class, but because she’s EXCELLENT at what she does.  She’s able to convey the material and hold your attention in such a way that you’d be a fool not to act like a sponge and soak it all up. She has her Ph.D and highly esteemed.   Last semester I had to miss class.  I knew each time I missed her class I was missing alot, because she covers alot.  I got a C on one of my papers because I missed the class where she explained how she wanted it done.  I knew when I got my C it must have been a well deserved C. I don’t like C’s…I like A’s. She allowed me to redo it properly.  Over the years I’ve heard people remark about the teacher that made an impression on them.  I could never relate.  I’d never had a teacher that I felt realllly cared.  Oprah had her teacher on the show and she was snot crying.  I get it now…At 32 years old I’ve been afforded it.

On the prowl Sunday, Feb 15 2009

So I mentioned a few posts back that I joined one of the ministries in my church.  I’ve wanted to become more active so that I’m not just warming a pew and I’ll get to meet people.

One position is an URSHER..LOL.  I found out when I attended the meeting that as part of the uniform I’ll need to get a black suit, and a pair of plain black shoes.  Let me repeat…a pair of plain black shoes…no stilletos, no bows, no buckles, no patent leather…*gasp*…my shoes are alot of things, but plain ain’t one of them.  I headed to nine west.  I remembered seeing a pair of black low wedge shoes that were cute.  I got there and no dice.  There was another pair of flats that were ok I guess, but the old lady shoe isn’t my cup o’ tea.  So I left sans plain black shoe. 

Last week at church one of the ushers came up to me and showed me her shoe.  It was very similar to this shoe except it had a 2″ big block heel.  I hope I was able to disguise my repulsion.
