Betrothed

After the engagement party I made a joke about “when I get married” in front of the girls.  I’m heard T sigh, and I’m sure her eyes rolled to the back of her head.  Today I was in the car with Bird and asked her why she thinks T doesn’t want me to remarry.  She said she doesn’t know, but that she does want me to get married…or at least a boyfriend (ha!).  I was confuddled at the bf part.

Me: Why?

Bird: Because I want you to be happy.

Me: You don’t think I’m happy?

Bird: I think you’re happy, but I want you to be more happy.

If she’d said “because you need someone to put up some blinds” I prolly woulda swallowed my tongue

Me: Well pray about it

Bird: Ok

Now look, I got a cute lil girl on board praying for my betrothal.  You know He’s especially attentive to the prayers of children. If you get on board with her, I’m sure you’ll get some of your own requests through too!

Roscoe at it again

So I’m outside with Bird letting her ride her bike. I was just finishing up a convo with my mom. I bought a flat screen for my bedroom last week (do y’all believe in bedroom tv’s?). I’m thinking of returning it because it takes 14* full seconds for it to get a picture. Yes, I counted and that’s a long time.

Bird comes over and hears me badgering my mother to count the seconds for hers and call me back. I end the call and she challenges me saying that it’s 8 seconds. Who’s talking to her?? I put on my “who do you think you are – I know what I’m talking about” mommy look.

Bird: “whatever you say princess” and turns away.

You know I got up and choked her as hard as I legally could right?

*edited to read 14 instead of 12. I used a stop watch. I’m anal like that…uh huh.

Hey ya’ll

MISSED YA…MEAN IT!

How long has it been?? You know this is going to be REALLY random right?!

As you know I’m unemployed (it feels great!), and taking my LSAT course. It so not what I expected.  The first week I straight sobbed daily..like ugly prostrate cries.  Logic Reasoning..specifically necessary and sufficient conditions…diagramming…da hell?  It’s like spanish…I understand a few things and the rest I have no clue…the language is tooo fast.

Fortunately I’ve been doing ok in the other sections.  I’m looking for a study buddy…read someone who can break this jibber jabber down to me.  I’m the ONLY brown woman in the class.  Surprise anyone?

T is still going thru growing pains.  Love her to pieces but she’s pushing it.

Bird is still funny.  She got a less than stellar behavior report a couple of weeks ago.  At the end of the week I asked how she was doing.  It goes like this

Me: How was school today?

Bird: It was ok

Me: What’s ok?

Bird: The main ones got in trouble…boy 1…boy 2

Me: Did you get in trouble?

Bird: I’m most

Did you get that? ROFL

I moved this week.  It has been by FAR one of the top 5 worse experiences of my entire life.   R, his brother, his nephew and my friend’s friend did my move.  Let’s say there are few pieces of furniture that are unscathed.  It makes me sick to think about it.

I’ve been curly curly for a whole year! Funny how I challenged myself to do it for a month.  That easily turned into 12 months and counting.  I am looking forward to straightening my hair soon.  I wanna check my growth.  This the healthiest my hair has ever been.

I’d been seeing Mr. K again…not like boo’d up…but…well…yea.  He’s pissed me off on a number of occasions.  He really knows how to screw things up.  This week I changed my home and cell phone number.  Why? Because he’s the type to call over and over and over until he wears me down.  Truth is..most times I do get worn down.  I’m not up for all that this go round.  He doesn’t know my new address so this is perfect.  I’d give anything to see his face when he dialed my number several times convinced that he must have misdialed the first 3 times.

BTW, I am really happy with my view.  My terrace is nice size.  I’m inclined to deck it all out.  I’m going to have to use some restraint knowing that I’m not going to be here long term.

On Friday I opened an IRA account.  After I did the preliminary stuff with the acct rep I had to meet with the financial advisor.  Ooooh Baby! *eyes stretched w/big ole grin*  I have to go back and meet with him soon.  I’m thinking about breaking a lil rule of mine.  I may slip him my number.  I wish I had a card to give him.  *in my Martin voice* YOU AIN’T GOT NO JOB KELLY!

Oooh I got a new pair of shoes…relax I’m not crazy.  They were RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP.  I can’t find the cord to my camera so I’ll upload another day and show ‘em…pinky promise.

I’ve been developing a closer relationship with Christ.  I find myself talking to him alll day long.

I haven’t read a blog in FO EVA! I spend alot of time in Barnes….except for the past two weeks due to the move from hell…I’m not kidding when I say that.  Next time I move I’m paying someone to pack me up and move me.  I’mma start saving for that now.

Dare I say I think I may have too many clothes??  My mother helped me unpack a bit.  She called me I.mel.da.Mar.co.s  Don’t hate me because I like fashionable footwear.  Plus I got it honest…she should talk.

I have a wicked cough.  I’m all hoarse like and raspy…ugh.

My almost new iphone drowned.  I cried and cried.  I’m in serious mourning.  I made an appt with the genius–bar for Monday.  I’m not sure if there’s anything they can do, but I’m praying so.  I’m not ready to have a moment of silence just yet.

Funny how I’ve cried sooo much in the past few weeks – yet, I still feel like everything is fine.

Bird…well…she’s just crazy

Bird – on her random

Last night we were watching the news.  They were reporting on a community project that turned into havoc when a councilmember got into in a HEAVY with a board member

Bird: Um…isn’t he supposed to set an example?

Me: *raised brows* You have a point

***************************************************

I bought a faux fur jacket for her and a pair of black patent leather shoes for church.  Trying on the shoes.

Bird: It feels great up here.

Me: Great up where?

Bird: This shoe has a heel *runs off to stand against the wall*

The shoe has a VERY small wedge heel.

Letter from Roscoe

I was greeted by this on the dining room table last night when I came home from school…..tired.

 I’mma need Bird to get off my  back…lol.  I’m not even sure what she’s talking about.  Ok…I may have not reviewed her work Monday night.  I think it was because they didn’t have school on Tuesday and they were in chillax mode.  The bad news is I forgot to give her $ for the book fair this morning…but she did too, so who’s fault is that??  Huh?? *sigh*

I did check her work last night.  I made a few highlightss that she corrected this morning. 

The girls REALLLY keep me on my toes.  I think I do a good job, but they are great about reminding me of things that I may let fall through the cracks simply because there is just soooo much on my mind. 

Just yesterday T reminded me to remind her pick-up that she won’t be out of school until 5:00pm due to Xmas show rehearsals.  I really do appreciate those reminders because I would surely forget.  Her pick up would arrive at 2:55 and then I’d have to apologize profusely.

Love Letter from Roscoe

Weekend Turn-out

After church on Saturday we went to visit my grandmother. You may remember that she has dementia and she is in a nursing home. When we visit she’s normally in the rec room where there is all kinda chaos…folx screaming and rambling. So my mother suggested we take her into her room and visit there. Just trying to get her from A to B is a task.

Once inside the room Bird stretched across her bed and T sat at the edge…at some point Bird makes this random comment about Grandmommy not watching Noggin. Then, my mom kept asking Grandmommy “Do you know who I am?” After a few times Bird says “She’s on mute“. We HOLLLLERED! She says all of this with a straight face.

Saturday night my mom lent me “The Soloist”. I got myself all geared up for a night in…I was rubbing my hands together prepared for a good movie night….(READ NO DATE) lol Fifteen minutes into this film I needed to call Mommy.

Me: Mommy, did you like this movie?

Mommy: No

Me: Then why the heck you give it to me???

Mommy: BAWAHAHAHAHAAAA…you don’t like it?

Me: Uh…NO! Dang if you didn’t like why’d you suggest I watch it?

Mommy: ROFL!!!!! LOL!!!!! I don’t know..HA HA HEEE HEEEE…I thought maybe you would *chuckle chuckle*

Me: Hmph….you coulda gave me a back up movie.

Mommy: Ok ok…I’ll bring you a another movie…You crazy!

Me: So I’ve been told

As a result, I watched every T.O episode that night and BOY!!! I have the ILLEST crush on that man. I like his smile.

Eventually I went to sleep and had an erotic dream about him. Then when it was time to get strapped on his…uh….tool was not impressive. It was un.circum.cised and it was all twisted up…like it had to be unraveled…ewww. I don’t know where my mind is…I just know it’s been a long time..LOL!!

Sunday we went to a Luau. I prepared baked macaroni and cheese. I arrived on time and they were STILL setting up. I’ve had my share of hosting, and sometimes things run behind schedule but DANG you just now putting clothes on the tables!? It wasn’t up and running until 2 hours later. By nightfall we were all having a good time….especially Bird

Bird said so

Yesterday, Bird and I walked into a store and was greeted by an energetic sales employee with feminine tendencies..real sing song like “Welcome to XYZ” we smiled and walked when he said to a woman behind us ” Welcome to XYZ, you look great!”  Bird leans into me and says “I bet he doesn’t even feel like saying that…he just says it cuz he works here” .  She’s figured it all out…she tickles me so.
