Weekend turn-out Monday, Nov 2 2009

Saturday night I let T host a “Girls Night In”, and they had a great time.  They bobbed for apples…that was hilarious.  Rest easy knowing that each girl had her own bowl…just the thought…eeew.

It was so nice to have an extra hour of sleep…it would have been even better had I actually used it.  We were up early Sunday to go visit an old friend who lives in PA now.  It’s been a few years since I’ve seen or even really spoken with her.  We caught up and she fed us real good.  Then I remembered how annoying her husband is.  You know how some men will grab a plate and then head out to the man cave….well not him.  He’s like he’s vying for attention “ME ME ME” and he talks so loud.  So whenever she was speaking about something that he wanted to add to he’d just start talking crazy loud, then she’d go up like 100 decibels without skipping a beat! crazy.

She gave me some sofrito of her homemade sofrito…I can’t wait to add it to my dishes…yum.

They have joined this sales company and of course they gave me the pitch.  I thought it was very interesting.  After I do some research I’m going to poll you guys to get your feedback.

So me and that guy that I was getting to know…that’s dead and stinkin’.  We got into it a lil bit after he sent me a text asking if I’m interested in him.  First of all, what is a grown man doing send me a text to discuss something like that? Immediate turn-off.  I asked “what have you given me to be interested in? “Yes I want a christian man, but he needs to have a personality.  Everything that came out of his mouth was “praise the Lord” and while I’m not knocking that…what else do you have to offer??  I was just waiting for him to show me the nails in his hands and tell me he’s Jesus! He’s so heaven bound that he’s no earthly good.   I’m done.

Halloween Friday, Oct 30 2009

I’ve really never done Halloween.  Growing up in the Bx most of the good kids had some fears around this “holiday”.  Girls were concerend about having eggs thrown at them, or Nair hair removal thrown your hair.  It was expected to see a bus go by that was just riddled with eggs.  The extreme cases were fights.  Now with these gangs it has gotten so out of control.  I’ve been hearing rumors about the gangs hitting up certain middle and high schools to jump kids.  How does a “holiday” incite such violence?

How was Halloween when you were growing up? How is it now?

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.

Weekend turn-out Tuesday, Oct 27 2009

I went to the spa for a 90 min aromatherapy massage on Sunday.  I was in the magical hands of my dude Sass.  He did all he was supposed to do and more.  If he could hear my thoughts I wonder what he would say?  Would he feel the same way about me that I feel about him?  He worked out places on my neck that I didn’t know exist and that’s when I felt for sure…he is my future husband…he’s GOT to be! lol  I’ll be back on 11/29.

Are ya’ll watching Amazing Race???  That guy is wayyyyy more patient that I am.  I woulda been in a bad way with Suzie Q after not going down the blasted slide!  It IS Amazing Race…did she not think she’d encounter heights on the show??

I went to see “Good Hair” and took Bird along.  There was some profanity that I had to shelter her lil ears from.  I enjoyed it.  I laughed…a lot.  I was a bit disturbed and the scalping ceremony.  The hair show was uh…interesting.  I came away thinking that I’m in the wrong industry.

Have you seen the movie? How was ur weekend?

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.

Weekend forecast? Friday, Oct 16 2009

TGIF! We’re blessed to have made it through yet another week.  What’s going on in your neck of the woods for the weekend?

I don’t think I shared this, but I’ll be participating in the Breast Cancer walk on Sunday, the 18th.  We’ll have customized tee’s and walking in honor of Maggie, my MIL.  Is that strange that I never stopped calling her my MIL?  R and I divorced, but we didn’t.  Anyway…the whole family is walking.  She would be moved.

My camera failed me back in August, so I’ll need to get one before Sunday.  I want to take plenty of pics.  I’m 99% sure I’ll be getting a Can.on this time around.  It seems the quality pics that I admire all come from those power.shot cameras.

I have re-twisted my hair since Tuesday night.  This feels liberating…twisting is a royal pain sometimes.  I wore my hair in a fro..I was slightly concerned when T gave me that look this morning.  I decided to roll with it anyway…would be the first time I had a bad hair day.  What do you think?

Have a good one folx!

Weekend Turn-out Tuesday, Oct 6 2009

I’ve been on my vegetarian kick for two weeks now.  I’m really proud of myself.  The things that I’ve been eating has me checking my own id.  I’m bringing my lunch much more often, which is great…saves me a few pennies.  I’m looking for yummy recipes.  If you have any please share.

Saturday night I did all of my Sunday errands.  I got back in the house around 11pm from the supermarket.  I probably need to do this much more often.  My Sundays are usually crazy with running here and there.  Yesterday was busy, but it would have been ridiculous had if I still had to food shop.

Sunday morning I went into the kitchen and saw T about to dig into my veggie breakfast meat.  I said “Oh, don’t go eating my veggie meat”.  She laughed, and I went back into my room.  Later when I was ready to eat I found that this chick really ate my meat.  I saw STARS!! I was livid…and then I went off.  I just kept saying how RUDE of you.  There was turkey sausage in the freezer.  She didn’t have anything to say.

Then Bird came in saying “Me and T talked about it…we’re gonna do our chore list (the one that I’ve only told them to do 50′11 times), put our money together and buy a bday gift for Daddy. ” I promptly kicked her out of my room.  I didn’t get a card made from loose leaf paper!  I was really in a suffering succotash mood yesterday.

I found a math tutor for T that I realllly like.  She likes her too.  She came by the house last night.  I stayed out of the way, but I kept my ears stretched.  T was quite giddy when she left.  Now I have to tell Laura/Pat that it’s a no go…I hate this part.

I henna’d.

Sunday evening I caught up on all most of my DVR tapings.  Are ya’ll watching The Biggest Loser…if so know that I can’t stand that chick and if I could I would ring her neck.  Ya’ll watch Private Practice? OMG!!! That was a GREAT episode! I wonder what’s going to happen next week. Lincoln Heights…this is a really good series…if you’ve never seen it check it out.

Finding out the news about Kandi’s fiancee was really heartbreaking.

Weekend Randoms…plus Monday, Sep 14 2009

k.west. has some major issues.

I downloaded the Chipotle app to my ifone…I can place an order from my phone and it tells me the closet Chipotle.  I LURVE the ifone.

I had one a vengeful intention yesterday, and gave it a good effort too.  It didn’t work.  THIS is why I need the Lord.

The first tutor that I’m interviewing came yesterday.  She’s a mix between Laura.Ingall.s (appearance) and Pat (akwardness) from S.N.L….interesting.

I went to see TP’s movie yesterday.  Right after I made a B line straight to get my brows done.

I was asked to sit on the pulpit AGAIN and to join the youth choir.   This is nothing but God.  I’ve been praying for 2 years that I would have an opportunity to be more active.  Now it’s happening all at once and I’m scared nervous.

I’M WEARING WHITE TODAY!

It’s always a pleasure to eat lunch outside until someone’s cigarette smoke sets my nose hairs ablaze.

How come after church my mom changed her clothes and showed me her belly chain? *EYES STRETCHED*

I can’t find my white jeans, my cream shoes or Bird’s gladiator sandals.  Watindawhurl?  How does stuff disappear???

My hair is organized chaos today and I LOVE it.

I’ve been popping echi.nacea and vitam.in C like nobody’s biz.  I canNOT get sick!!!

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?
