Weekend turn-out Tuesday, Nov 10 2009

While at work on Friday my friend said “Kelly what’s wrong with your eyebrows…*crazy eyes* I don’t know which one to look at!!”  My brows were definitely growing in…it’d been about a month since I last had them down and I was trying to let them grow out a bit….again.  I hate her.  Friday night I had to attend choir rehearsal.   I made sure I wore my cap pulled really low so that my Einstein brows were obscured.  I do whats best for everyone involved.

I placed a SOS call for a “chuuuch” hat to my girl Dani….no avail.  So Saturday morning getting ready for church was HELL.  I didn’t twist my hair the night before…my attempted wash and go was a wash and NO.  I tried for a good 90 mins varying my hair trying to create a hair diversion that would again camoflauge those brows…(totally detached myself from them).  My ever loving girls were full of “eeewwwws” and “illlks” *sigh*  It did what it do and we skipped out.

That evening I attended a really nice off broadway show in Harlem, again wearing a hat that I could pull real low. I then made a bee line to fix those brows.  She took a while.  I knew she had some work to do, but when I sat up and looked in the mirror

My 2 cents Friday, Oct 30 2009

That B12 vitamin is the B.Izness.  I feel a NOTICEABLE difference when I take it.  I say go get that.  I purchased it from Vita.min Shopp.e

What kind of mascara do you wear? I normally where Lancome Definicils…it’s great, but a lil on the pricey side.  I decided to try Stiletto by May.bel.line.  I’m not impressed…not even a lil bit.  You would think with a name like Stiletto! Thumbs down…I like full lashes and this is just a tease.

I purchased Deva Set it Free over the weekend.  When I first used it on dry hair I hated it.  It felt very tacky, but when I woke up I had good, shiny, defined curls.  I even got great results on 2nd day without re-twisting. 

I used it again Wednesday night.  This time I deep conditioned my hair and applied it to my wet hair after I rinsed out the conditioner.  I LOOOOOVE IT!  I’m working on 3 day hair right now, without re-twisting AND I got a hair compliment this morning…can you believe it?  This is a keeper.

Random clutter Wednesday, Oct 21 2009

I’ve wanted to blog, but when there’s sooooo much going on in my brain I can’t do a single thing.

I have lunch with a co-ed multi-cultural group.  We laugh sooo much sometimes I nearly pee on myself.  On Friday we were talking about vitamins when Ram mentioned that he likes to take B12 shots…gives energy etc.  I inquired more because if its that good I need that in my life stat! He went on to say that he gets them from his boyfriend.  As a result of his boyfriends’ HIV status he needs them.  My reaction was “wow”…then he said that he was HIV positive as well…..”wow”.  We talked about this for awhile and his numbers are low enough that he does not need medication.  I felt really grateful that medicine has progressed enough that being HIV does not have to mean it’s a death sentence. 

It also made me wonder…are folx really STILL having unprotected secks???? SERIOUSLY???  I don’t think I updated ya’ll on this yet, but remember the girl that left her son with my friend and then went missing?  Well she was found….her body that is.  It seems that her boyfriend killed her because he discovered that she gave him HIV…speechless.  Do you know of friends that are this careless with their bodies??  You might want to share this story.

I did the breast cancer walk on Sunday.  On Sunday, the weather was cold, rainy and windy.  WICKED.  R picked up me and the girls.  Before we left the house he kept wondering out loud if I would be warm enough.  I had on leggings, two long sleeved tees, and my vest.  He dropped us off at the registration booth so that he could go and park the car.  We were outside a good 2 minutes when I cried aloud.  It was FREEZING!  I called his cell and we headed back to the house.  We changed clothes and made it back without missing anything.

The walk was a little emotional.  It felt great to be united with so many people for the same cause.  We were doing a great thing.  I plan to do the walk next year as well.

School is going well, but I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.  I’m not even sure why.

Another guy in my lunch crew has been coping with his boyfriend’s cancer.  This guy is only 24 years old.  Yesterday he was rushed into emergency surgery, and it wasn’t looking good.  I got word before I left work that he pulled through the surgery, but that his condition was still very critical.  I’ve been praying hard for him.

Oy vie…what’s some good news???  The girls are doing great.  They’ve had some moments of civility over the past few days.  I’ve been putting some funk in my work wear dress…no pics…ya’ll ain’t ready…lol

I purchased a pair of grey shoes yesterday…I’ve had them in my thoughts for like 3 weeks.  I’m glad that I waited…the price was sweeeet.  They make me happy. 

I’m starting to plan my holiday party.

I’ve had so many opportunities to witness in the past week or two.  It’s been great…and I’m thankful to be used.

I’ll be making a trip to NC in January.  I want to scope out my (potentially)new state in the winter season, and then I’ll visit again in April or May.

My style is just that Tuesday, Sep 29 2009

I’m a frilly, ruffle, bow tie, cardigan with a skinny belt kinda gal.  I’ve always had my way with trends.  In high school name brand baggy jeans was the stamp of fashion approval.  I wore the baggy jeans, but I’d wear it with a button down shirt and a tie.  I thought I was the biz!

Recently I had an experience on FB.  My friend posted pics of a few of us ladies hanging out after work.  One of her friends made a sarcastic comment about the pic saying that my flower is “HUGE”. 

I, in turn said it is huge and that if she wanted to borrow it, it’d go great with her ears.   It ticked me off…but I didn’t want her know that she got under my skin…I just wanted to jab back a lil.   Shame on me…to let a lesser get to me in the first place.  She’d have no advice to offer anyone considering on her best day she gets her pieces from racks that sit outside the store on the sidewalk.    Then I made it very clear that she and Em are friends….and we are not.

Afer that I second guessed my HUGE flower choices.  I like huge flowers, but I wondered if they were an offense to the masses..lol.  I later read a post that TBS did on the dramatic corsage. I felt back in my glory again.  Vindicated if you will.  The Huge flower isn’t for everyone…nothing is.  Lesson learned? Never let a lessor heffa make me second guess me.  We ain’t the same kinda people. 

Saturday, I decided I would wear a royal blue suit that I hadn’t worn to church in a while.  Normally, I wear it with a brooche.  Instead I opted for a Huge flower!

My flower swing is in full effect.  I did a lil something different today.  I’ve not paired either of these items together before.   I wore my sheer sleeveless plum shirt with a turtle collar, paired with a yellow cardigan, and grey slacks.  My fave part is the flower accenting the black skinny belt.

Back in the saddle Monday, Aug 24 2009

Heller!

I’m returning to some sense of normalcy…trying that is.  Some of my routine I could live without. 

Sometimes I have soo much to share, but if I don’t do it right away its lost.  Much was lost this week.  Speaking of…my camera died.  WTH!!! We went out Tuesday…I took one pic..put the cam down.  When I picked it back up to take another pic it read “zoom error”…ughhh

I had issues with my laptop and fl.ip cam a few weeks ago. I finally got things resolved last night.  I took a few work wear clips that I intended to post..but like I said those devices gave me fever.  Here they go.

I think I should have worn a brown belt with it..next time I will.

Missed ya’ll….really.

I’m going to post about something in a day or two when I finish procrastinating and figure out how to post it private….or password protect it.  You had to figure there’d be a story.

Weekend turn-out Monday, Aug 17 2009

Saturday

Last week I agreed to sit on the pulpit this Sabbath. OMG! Nerves?? Baaaaad! I rehearsed my part ova and ova and ova and ova. I TRIED to smile…my Aunt said I should. Thankfully, it went over well and I didn’t pass out cuz that woulda been REALLLLY embarassing. Speaking in front of 600 ppl is no joke…even it IS just 10 seconds.

My Aug 8th party is pink and white.  My Aug 22nd party is all white.  I hate that.

I played in my make-up last night.  I need much more play time…lol

Insomnia is back.

I went to the gym…early this AM.  It’s been a minute.  I didn’t stretch.  I’m soooooooo sore.

Alot of prayers are being answered.  Its a joy to highlight them in my book!

I’ve OFFICIALLY started to study for the lsat.  I need a head start considering my fall and spring course load.

I’m going to register in April to take it in June.

Isn’t that right around the corner???

I start my 2nd summer class on Friday.

My mom called me type A…again..last night. 

The summer is over…finito…not that we ever REALLY had one.

I saw Mr. K recently…he said I lost my butt…I agree *eyes stretched*.

How tragic.  I hate when that happens.

The girls were supposed to hook up with TBS…she had to cancel this go round.

I don’t particularly care for ATL, but I think I’m going to apply for a school out there.  I have alot of friends there. I wouldn’t be lonely.

I think I may be homesick in NC.  I’m sure I’d get over it in time.  I hope.

If you gonna pray why worry…if you gonna worry why pray.  Right?

Sometimes men are wayyyy worse than women when it comes to relationships that are bad for them.

I do not have an all white outfit and I DON’T wanna buy one.

I’m hosting a RHOA shindig tomorrow night….can’t WAIT!

AR Gal had a good idea wit them shirts.  I’d wear one…lol

I miss them girls SILLLLLLY!

I haven’t worn those suede magenta shoes yet…I don’t know what to wear them with.  If these chicks let me pick my own colors to wear to they parties MAYBE I could!  I’m lyin’…I ain’t hardly wearing them shoes to a party on my first go round.

My chance to make it to the beach went right out the flippin’ window on Sunday.

I can’t WAIT for Cancun.  There will be 4 of us.  Easy breezy gals…no drama.

I’m ready to plot another.

I’m sooo glad those journalists were released.  I can’t imagine the agony for the families.

I watched More to Love last night.

My cat is needy.  Have you EVER heard of such?

Hooking up after work with some of my fav girls.  That’ll be fun.

Moses and I are trying to re-schedule.

I’m not calling it a date, BUT I would like to do more dates during the day.  

I’m challenging myself.  For a week, I will not vent/complain/seek counsel from anyone else other than God.  This may seem trivial, but I’d like to see how this works out.  Keep me in line.

My favorite scent right now is Pink Sugar

I can really tell the difference with the henna.  I don’t plan to use Indigo again.  Regular semi perm is just fine for me.

Its HUMP DAY!

Who’s next?

Cheaper to keep her Tuesday, Aug 4 2009

….well them.  Since the girls have been gone I’ve been shopping in stores and online like a mad person.  Real random too…spices…sheets…make-up.  I don’t have enough to occupy my time with school being over..for now and the girls being done.  I MISS THEM LOADS!! The cat is getting on my nerves. 

Did you know that Bath and Body Works is having a really good sale?  Went there last night and loaded up.

When I got home I made fried chicken and jasmine rice w/salad…mmmm.   I also watched Ch.ris.Ro.ck.  He is WILD.

This was one of my buys. 

I’m going to experiment tonight.  I have a bday party to attend Sat nite….and the following Sat nite…and the following Sat nite.  I’m really not looking forward…especially to this one.  It’s a boat ride.  When I’m ret tuh go…I’m ret tuh go.  It’s one my closest friends so I feel compelled to.

These things are a heel’s best friend.  They have changed my life for the better and I don’t plan on ever giving them up.  These are the TRUTH! If I were you, I’d pick up a pair on the way home.  You can thank me later.
