Let Peter tell it…..

According to Uptown Magazine

I say anything I f—ing feel, because I don’t feel I need to answer to anybody but God. People are going on Andy Cohen’s show and being all careful—I don’t give a f-ck. If they ever put me on that sh–, I’m gonna say exactly how I feel, and that’s what people wanna hear. If he asks, “What do you think about the guys in Atlanta wearing heels?” I’m gonna say, “That sh-t is not cute.”

If they say, “What do you think about the other Housewives?” I’m gonna say, “I can’t stand Phaedra’s ass. I think Kim is crazy as f–k. Nene has a big-ass mouth, okay? And Sheree’s not cute! She thinks she’s cute, but she’s not cute.” And this is ON the record. The only one I like is Kandi, and she’s too soft. That’s why she got played with Kim. And that’s how I truly feel. “

Too Damn Fine

Weekend kit and kaboodle

I’ve been doing really well on my FB hiatus.  On Saturday I loaded that app back onto my phone.   I won’t o.d. this time.

I posted awhile back about wanting to be more active in my church.  I’m a very social person and I wanted to meet more people.  It makes coming to church that much more enjoyable.  I joined the choir and volunteered to be the social coordinator when they were looking for one.  I planned our first social outing at a bowling alley.  We had a great time.  I’m probably the lowest scoring bowler of all time, but I talk a good game…lol  Slowly but surely I’m meeting more people…they at least know my name now.

Sunday T had a friend come over.  They’re working on a science project.  This young lady is so nice and respectful.  I love it when I see my girls socializing with the right kinda people.  I’m doing something right.

This weekend we all played bible scatt.er.gories.  The letter was ‘B’ and the category was fruits of the spirit.  Bird put down ‘banana’ and I hollared!

I went to the gyn.  I absolutely adore my gyn…besides other things she’s brown like me and I love that.  It seems the last time I’d been there was in 2005!  She asked if I’d been cheating on her.  I know I’d made an appt at least a year or two ago, and wind up canceling due to my crazy work schedule at the time.  I’ve gotta do a better job of taking care of myself because 5 years is crazy.  She coughed and cleared out some cobwebs, but other than that I’m good.

Speaking of that area.  I returned to the gym on Wednesday…first time since my boxing episode.  I took a spinning class.  My crotch…tush area has not been the same since.

My mom and I were texting while watching the Ama.z-ing.-R.ac.e.  She said “black people need to stay off these kinds of shows…it’s embarassing”! ROFL  My mother is one of the funniest/sarcastic people I know.  My brother married a half black/half puerto rican girl.  Years ago my mother asked if she could make her some spanish rice and beans.  When she said no…she didn’t know how..my mother said “ya know…this is why people need to stop inter-marrying…no one knows how to cook anything”.

Needless to say we were both sad that the attorney moms didn’t make it further.  They seem like great gals.

I was thinking yesterday about when I’d ever meet a good guy.  I then wondered for a moment what am I doing, what can I offer the good great guy that I’m interested in.  I’m in school – progressing towards a career that I hope I’ll love.  I keep a comfortable home.  I’m known for bringing a smile to a person’s face.  I’m generous and nurturer.  When I’m in a relationship I’m that man’s biggest cheerleader.  There are other things that I can work on, and I will.

For one, I’m going to start taking more time out for me.  With school, work..and the girls I often feel run down.  I haven’t had a mani or pedi in many months.  For one I’ve been trying to conserve funds, and another reason is that I simply haven’t made the time.  My nails haven’t looked ratty, but I always feel extra special when they have some shine.  I did my own mani/pedi this weekend.  There’s no excuse why I can’t do this on regular basis.  I already do my own ‘do.  I have some bad hair days, but thankfully they are few and far between.  Last night I soaked in the time.  I very rarely do this, but I wanted to pamper myself.  I used Patrice’s scrub and it felt and smelled soooo good.  I massaged myself and really took my time.  I absolutely have to make time to do this weekly.  Afterwards I gave myself a mini-facial.

When it was all said and done I felt rejuvenated.  There’s nothing like a great aromatherapy massage but this came close.  This morning I woke up feel fresh.  The mood I was in carried over as well.  I didn’t rush this morning.  I had a smile on my face all the way to work.  Smiling more..having a pleasant expression on my face is going to be something that I work on.  In a rush there’s no way I can have a smile…I’m rushing.  I walked with my back straight and my head held high.  I would imagine that these little things do alot to attract the right man.  I’m already a confident woman.  It’s evident after having a conversation with me.  However, how can I convey this before a man has an opportunity to chat it up with me?  Coming in this morning I know that in every step I exuded confidence.    I’ve heard from more than one man that confidence is the sexiest thing about a woman.

Since I’ve cut meat out of my diet I’ve been more conscious about what I eat.  There’s more that I need to learn, and I’m going to start working on this.  Whenever I meet that special one I want to be able to prepare delicious, but healthy meals for him.  I’m going to start drinking more water.  I have a ma.gi.c bu-l-let. that I got at least a year ago.  I took it out of the box, got intimidated and haven’t taken it out since.  That changes this week.  I want my skin to glow.  I’m going to start a juicing regimen (will likely do a separate post about this).  These are things that I have to make time for.  First for myself and then for him.

Friday I left work early because of the snow storm.  On my way to the train (ugh) I passed a man that caught my eye and I blushed smiled.  I must have caught his too because he called out to me although I was a few feet away at that point.  When I think back on it I should have let him take those few steps towards me..in any case I took the steps toward him.  He had an accent that I couldn’t put my finger on but it was sexy and he was an attractive man.  He asked me if I was enjoying the snow and I said no…lol  Then he asked if I was headed home and I said yes.  After that he smiled and said ok, get home safe..I said thank you and turned away.  For the life of me I don’t know why he didn’t offer his card or ask my name or something??? Oh well.

Did you know?

Did you know Naomi has been boo’d up with a billionaire blonde for a couple of years now?

Did you know that Naomi’s billionaire blonde is married?

Did you know that Naomi’s billionaire blonde’s wife and child came to Naomi’s runway show and they ALL posed for a pic together? *eyes stretched*

 

Exactly what is open marriage about? I mean isn’t an oxymoron?

Do we care?

My viewing pleasure

Whose watching Ama.zing-Ra.ce? Sundaynight was funny “O my gravy!” LOL

I’ve been sucked in by “Un.der-Cov.er-Bo.s.s. Are you watching? When I saw that Igor was given his own franchise that brought tears to my eyes. He had such a great spirit…they all did.

I’m looking forward to “Brooklyn’s inest”.  This is an interesting cast. It’s directed by Antoine Fuqua.  I wonder If He and Sunshine are still married.

People’s Court…ham MERCY…there was an episode where a lesbian couple hired a guy from Cra.g’sli.st to be a donor for them.  They both wanted to become pregnant at the same time, and they were collecting the samples at home and as a DIY project! This was a must-see…can’t make this stuff up http://peoplescourt.warnerbros.com/

WHO DAT SAY DEY GON BEAT DEM SAINTS??

Last night was an amazing game.  Dinner was prepared just in time for the girls and I to sit down for opening ceremonies.  We were all super excited about the game.  Bird double checked with me a couple of times to make sure she was rooting for Saints.

Bird:  We’re rooting for the Saints right?

Me: Yes Bird..the Saints

Bird: *wide eyed* Ok

T: *speed talking* Yes we’re rooting for the Saints cuz if they win the Super Bowl then R.e.g.g.ie-B.u.s.h and K.i.m-Ka.r.d.a.s.h.ian are gonna get married and I wanna see that.

Me: SMH

The game started off great…both the C-lts and the S-ints were playing well.  Bird side-eyed me when I commented that the C-lts made a good play….like I’m some traitor.  I explained good sportmanship.  It WAS a good play. 

I’m not quite sure when I starting rooting for the S*ints.  Probably when the playoffs started and the Giants had already been booted.

With the mac n cheese, fried whiting and kale demolished I was sufficiently comforted TO FALL ASLEEP IN THE 2nd QUARTER ALL THRU THE 3RD. Ugh.  My eyes felt so heavy.  I couldn’t believe that after all the anticipation leading up to this game that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open.  I woke up refreshed right after the 3rd quarter ended.

I don’t know anything much about football.  Growing up I was a basketball fan.  I’ve only gained an interest in it by dating men who were huge football fans.  It started with Mr. K, and then Da Principal just took fan to a whole ‘nother level.  By listening to their analysis I was perfectly prepped to come to work or school and chime in on a convo, regurgitating exactly what they’d said and be all the awe..LOL

Last night was different tho…some of what they’ve  stuck, and I was able to better understand some other things all by myself *pat on the back*, and explain it to the girls like a pro.   

My mom called me when there were about 4 minutes left in the second quarter.  I told her I was watching the game but that it would be ending soon.  Then this dude named Porter intercepted a pass and took it all the way to the end zone just leaving dust behind and I LOST MY MIND! Screaming and Yelling…pumping my fists. 

The S*int’s defense is TIGHT (I picked that up all by myself).

Watching D.r.e.w-Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees (that’s what Da Principal calls him) hold his son and tear up was a beautiful sight.  I’m so happy for the win and congrats to all you Louisianians, you can’t help but be proud.  I bet a few of you teared up as well.  After all the city of N.e.w-O.r.leans has been through, there’s no word to describe…at least I haven’t been able to find it.

WHO DAT WHO DAT WHO DAT!!!

She Fly!

Ellen is a trip.  I caught some of her show last night.  When I saw her boots I nearly died.  Go ‘head Ellen!

I happen to be  fan of over the knee boots myself, but I don’t own any.  I love these babies

 

Weekend turn-out randoms

I wore my hair in the updo and received several compliments.  That made me happy.

I did an EVOO deep condition yesterday.  I had it on for a few hours.  I’ll be bunning it for the rest of this week.

So, I had an opportunity to be really honest this weekend and I failed.  I was asked to do the welcome at church.  She asked if me and the girls could do it.  They flat out said no.  Then she said well you can do it by yourself.  I believe I did somehow say no..but the next thing I knew she was taking my number.  When she walked away my mother commented “there you go saying yes again“  Where was she to help me… I tried to wiggle out of it…really.  What am I going to do?  I don’t like public speaking..I get very nervous.  Maybe this is an opportunity to push myself once again out of my comfort zone.

My social science professor said that if we submit really good research papers she’d like to select a few to present at a conference.  The work would also be published.  My eyes lit and I got really excited at the opportunity and then queasy at the thought of needing to present alll at the same time.  Maybe giving the welcome will be practice? *sigh*

Why can’t Bird keep up with her things? I’m at my wits end with her.  She has 2 sweat shirts for gym.  She can’t find either one.

My girlfriend gave me her daughters bedroom set.  Dresser and full sized bed.  It’s white and in pretty good condition.  Well, before Mr. K kinda broke it up moving it to me. *eyes stretched*  I’m not sure when I’ll start on stripping the bed and the other dressers now.  I really don’t even have room for both, but one day I’ll have a house and who am I to get rid of furniture?

I may be faced with a challenging decision in the next few weeks.  It has me realizing how weak my faith is.  My blessings…the grace extended me, large and small is not of my own doing.  I have to remember that.  I also have to remember a path that isn’t cleared by Him is a path that I should not desire to travel anyway.  It’s the unknown that’s KILLLING ME.

I watched Denzel’s movie…I didn’t like it.  In fact I didn’t even bother to watch the rest.  The Blind Side was a grrreat movie tho.  We loved it.

I had a Boca burger yesterday…the grilled kind.  It was delish…mayo and ketchup…caramelized onions…mmmmm  I picked it up in Tarzhay.

I’m late but….

Grey’s Anatomy…Private Practice *EYES STRETCHED*

Sloan could get it.

Did Cooper just say “my bad”?

I’m working “oh snap” and “that’s dope” back into my vocabulary.

Maya should not be wearing all that makeup. How old is she? She’s knocked up..oh snap! smh
