I got so much trobule on my mind. I REFUSE TO LOSE!! - Public Enemy
Actually I don't have trouble I have RANDOMNESS!! so here goes:
-my co-worker said she was stressed because our manager asked her to move some things in an email account to a folder in a shared drive. I told her YOU DON'T KNOW STRESS!! This aint stress this is cake, and I will have another slice thank you!!
-the mosquitoes bit me on my FACE!! them sob's danced around everywhere I sprayed and get their blood from my face
-YES as a matter of fact I DO want to see Magic Mike. Channing Tantum!!! Matthew McConaughey!!! And that other (well several other)cutie patottie!! YES PLEASE!!!
-my doctor...well my hematologist (my primary care just wants to be sure I am close to healthy as possible because right now she says I am healthy-ISH) asks me what I like to do. So after I stop looking like a deer in the headlights I said 'well I know saying watching TV and drinking wine are probably not so good, but that's what I like to do... AND GARDEN!! because that sounds good, right?' He was dying laughing!!
-the nurse at this place took my blood and then apologized for sticking me... ummm, I didn't feel a think you did a GREAT job Nurse Katie!!
Tahj Mowery (you know Tia & Tamera's lil brother) is on a new show on ABC Family. But why does he look Asian and not black?
Why have I been watching ABC Family? I am kinda addicted to 'Bunheads'
Cedric's new show is GREAT!! I love Cedric!!
Why oh why does my neighbor pop out of freaking NOWHERE to say hello?? I really wish I could take him up on his offer to mow the lawn, but I need to know his situation. Is that your wife/girlfriend/sister/cousin?!?! And NO I am not tryna holla (why can't my neighbors look like the dude in Janet Jackson's Anytime video... or any other video she made in the 90's LOL) but I just don't wanna feel indebted. I mowed you lawn so now let's go upstairs(boooom chikka WOW WOW)!!! UUUhhhh nooo (LOL)
Ok it's not really stalking if I have no idea where the cute tall dude sits. But I was driving right behind him and I have his license plate memorized (ok yes that teeters on stalking... but only if I do something with it. It can play around in my brain forever!! LMBAO) Plus it looks like a family car... although he is TALL so a sedan doesn't necessarily mean 'I have 10 kids'.
I at least am working with men but there are really only a few cuties. One guy is still there from when I worked there in my 20's. I had a little crush on him and when I saw him again last week I was like eeeewwww what on earth was I thinking?!?!?
finding stuff out about the old job is both hilarious and confirms I made the right choice to leave.
to my dog friends, i know you love your dog, I KNOW, but can you ease up on talking about how amazing they are?!? I mean they aint got opposable thumbs which is what I tell my cat. My mom says I talk to her like she's a human. I'll say why are you trying to pick that up you aint got opposable thumbs chick!! OH wait did I just go to the dark side of talking about how amazing my pet is?!?!? (I mean she kinda is; anything that can lick their lady parts is pretty freaking amazing!!!)
if english is not your first language I am going to need for you to listen to the WHOLE question before you answer "YES"! Don't use context clues... just listen. And really that goes for native english speakers as well!
I am addicted to QVC, but don't tell anyone!! I just got my 2 petite maxi dresses and they are PERFECT!!! even though I am a tall chick i prefer my dresses not drag on the ground!
the intention was to open a bottle of Gollywobbler tonight and that didn't happen. Oh yeah the intention was also to make a lime simple syrup for the raspberry lemon drop i was going to test.. OH WAIT I have some simple syrup in the frig... hold on...hmmm maybe I don't need simple syrup since the lemonade is pretty sweet... (adjusting recipe in my head)
i am sooo sleepy right now. There is more but this is gonna hafta do for today!!

up to date
Ok so I have to bring you up to date on so many things… I have not been diligent in keeping up with my randomness. So let’s break it up into segments...
ATL
Went there to see my brother’s youngest son, or nephew, graduate from high school. Saw both him and the oldest nephew who has some plans for his future which is good! Graduate nephew is going to college in ATL which is good. I stayed in his room that he cleaned just for me O_o. Moving on… His grandmother made this lasagna that was sooooooo freaking good, that I have decided to stop trying!! Mine always needs ‘something’ and I never can put my finger on what that something is so I am officially DONE! She also bakes but you gotta catch her when she’s in the mode. Back to the nephews… I am so proud of them both!! They are maturing differently from a girl, but the youngest one is going to get there eventually the oldest is getting there (wherever there is) at a faster rate now that he is well into his 20's. The actual graduation was slow and when I watched the Glee season finale I was like ' Dag I wish the graduation I went to was this fast' LOL. ATL is nice to visit but I could never wrap my head around living there.
Dallas
no not the TV show. My family reunion was in Dallas and alls I got to say about that is it was HOOOOT! I don’t do real well in very hot heat. The good thing is that it was dry heat. The actual reunion it was great to see some family that I truly only see every so often. The airport was kinda weird. i walked a good while until I realized the exits were on the side. I had to ask a badged person how the heck do I get out. And that's just what I said. HOW THE HECK DO I GET OUT!!! I requested from my cousin that was hosting to provide me with a single oilman and then maybe I would stay. He did not provide said man (LOL)
Job
I gave notice and left my job. YAY!! I mean this is truly a thank LBJ moment! I would have stuck it out as long as I could but it was getting pretty unbearable. What had happened is… the quick and dirty is an old contact contacted me, I had an interview that was calm and easy and went well and then basically they were waiting for me to give them a start date. The month of May had a lot going on, mainly graduations and vacations. And my vacation which consisted of 2 days tacked onto a holiday which made for a long weekend which up until I actually took it cause great concern in my office. Now everyone else can take weeks at a time but me… not so much. I am breathing such a sigh of relief right now. I didn’t realize how exhausted I was and how stressed I was over such non-relevant things but they were relevant then I guess. The good news was that the light at the end of the tunnel was actually in plain sight; it wasn’t just a future hope! I fully expected to be escorted out. Not because I had done anything wrong, but that is how this company operates. But then I was told that I wasn’t a disgruntled employee (which led me to believe they REALLY didn't know me) so I could stay AND train the new temp that they were going to get (oh joy more like OH HELL; but that part will be in another section of this here blog). So when CR manager said I was leaving them in a lurch it took a whole lot from deep within the pits of my good, kind, selfless (humble LOL) soul to not just get up and leave right that minute (here comes another sigh!!). I guess the lurch part was because I was taking those 2 pesky days of vacation and that damned Memorial Day Holiday. How dare I give notice AND take vacation?? And couldn’t I just extend it 1 more week?? UUUHHHH not just no, but HELL NO!! I have done all the putting up with I’m gonna do up until the very last hour I was there. I should be recommended for sainthood (there goes that humbleness again :) ) My last day I knew it was going to be rough when to treat myself, I go to Chick-Fil-A and them fools did NOT have any hot beverages, which includes coffee. And I needs my coffee EVERYDAY!! Thank LBJ yet again that now my Caribou is right up the street. So NEW job which is what I used to do a few years ago, but this economy has hit everyone kinda hard so all the jobs I used to have dried right up. It’s good because I am getting my skills back up. Not that dealing with the industry didn’t keep me sharp, but dealing with the people sometimes dumbing stuff down I had to look at them like REALLY?!?!? Self improvement is important to me so it just bothers me when folks get stuck on stupid. Tweedle too was actually going back to school. She was not a tweedle cause she was dumb, she just had very comical ways (like buying a harness for her bunny!). THE Tweedle didn’t want to learn anything new, didn’t want to take a note, refused to accept that we are in the technology age and that email is necessary. She was very frustrating. So the text she sent after I left I ignored because I am not, nor have I ever been a hoarder of information. Whatever I know, you can know cause I’ma tell you! I’ll even show you my shortcuts that helped me along the way. But when your response to me is ‘Yeah ok, whatever…’ then I shut down. And I am so done. Bridges are not burned but I so do not want to cross back over any time soon (or ever). Is now a good time to talk about the temp?!?! Yeah sure why not. It was my thought for a good 2 minutes that I would help out choosing the person the temp agency would send because I know my job, and who better to decide who should replace me, than me. Well it didn’t really work out that way cause what do I know?!? So the temp was sent in and after a few hours of showing and explaining stuff to her I felt like I was wasting my time. She most definitely had the skill set, but the personality, not so much. I have a filter (or at least I hope I do) that tells me what to say and what not to say especially to people I just meet and ESPECIALLY in a work setting. I think the first day I knew she was going through a divorce, dating a dude from Miami who foots the bill for a lot of her expenses, she lived with here sister who has 7 kids, she has 2 kids (later found out it was at home with her parents), she worked at MAC and Hopkins and Victoria Secrets, she is a dominatrix who sells alcohol infused candy on the internet and through all this she did NOT find time to tighten up her weave. She had 2 phones that went off constantly. Dude you’re a temp, SURELY you can’t be that important that you need 2 phones!! Lastly, and this is where I knew my time was being wasted, her eyes were going sleepy time throughout the whole day. I even made it a point to see if this week when I was being trained how many times my eyes went sleepy time, not at all on the 1st day probably because I was excited and the person who trained me I knew so it was good to catch up with her and all the people still here. My current situation I have 2 managers (which could suck but it so doesn’t) that I have to report to but it is cool in the gang! Both are women and smart and exude confidence of not only what they know but how to get things done (another sigh!!) Also, I have 2 admins and I have been going back and forth to see who has the best supplies! On day #4 my only complaint is that the lady who sits (and she really never SITS but you know whatever) diagonal from me said my music was too loud, but really that’s not even bad because I stick in my ear buds and be jamming and singing and dancing. Me and Pandora been having a great relationship this week. And HandzOn too! Got the good house music going on. the actual work is not bad either. Quick and dirty I'm doing data collection.
Jazz Fest
The Capital Jazz Fest was this weekend and because I am so low tech I couldn't (or didn't) 'check-in' or tweet pics or what have you. But I was serenaded by Afro Blue!! You know the kids from Howard who were on the Sing-Off. They were all smaller that I thought they would be, but they were also a very attractive bunch of people. I say this and I can't really remember who's page I was on but I looked at the people in the pics and said, 'this is NOT a good looking bunch of folks'. Anyways, they had this workshop tent where certain artist came and basically answered questions. So after I got lost, found my soror who works for the Lottery (got some scratch off and won 2 bucks YAY ME!!), got lost some more, FINALLY found the tent and it was me and 3 other people. So when they sang for the first time it really was like they were serenading me. And I loved it!! More peopel came after they heard what they were missing. The only reason why I didn't stop watching the Sing-off after they got voted off, was because there really was talent on the show and even though I disagreed with some of the choices, I am glad the group that won, won (who's name escaped me now. Had to google that... Pentatonix). The line up was not great on Saturday, but I kinda heard Frank McComb as we rushed to get in. And then I heard Afro Blue!! Kenny Lattimore and Maysa. The rest were a blurr.
Hair
I cut it all off!! That's big new in a black women's life. I been rocking the wedding hair, that's what I refer to as long hair, for a while. But honestly the only reason I hadn't cut it is cause I didn't have a reliable hair dresser. So I went back to my girl. And I can't really remember why I stopped going to her. Well yeah I do remember but the reasons were not worth me not going back. She just set up a hair salon and seems to be doing well. Now her prices are ALL over the place, but we are good for right now. And now everyone is getting all this fabulous color and now I want some color.
TV and movies **spoiler alert**
*I don't know who thought killing Lexi off was a good idea.
*What the hell is Curt going to do?!?! He can't stay in Lima.
*thank you SYFY for only playing Lost girl at 10pm. YOU know I can't stay up that late!! So now I need to catch the rest of season 1 and all of season 2. The Ash is in a coma and I have no idea why (plus the sex scenes were AWESOME for basic cable... **clearing throat** I mean you know if you like that sorta thing IJS)
* Thank you TNT (or is it USA) for putting Michael Ealy on a regular show that I can watch every week. That dude is several kinds of sexy and I don't know why I tried to resist (the sex scenes in 'Think like a man' with him... yeah i got a lil hot and bothered but it was pg-13 LAWD what would they have shown in an R movie ***SMDH***)
* The Avengers in 3-D WORTH the cost of admission
* Hunger Games - I thought this mess was a trilogy. I about lost it when Rue got killed. And was it based in the future?!? Do we really need coal miners in the future? And WHY were there only 2 black folks... oh wait I almost forgot Lenny Kravitz another just SEXY man. moving on
*Dark Shadows.... NO just no no no.
*Think Like a Man - cute but the Steve Harvey scenes got to be a little annoying. I am rocking a modified Meagan Goode asymmetrical and also taking her tip to wear sexy panties to attract the men (well ok in the movie she was wearing granny panties so she wouldn't be tempted; but the reverse should work, right?). I have already discussed Micheal Ealy. Romany (can't think of last name, but he was in Weeds and 40 yr old virgin) he is kinda cute! They had a few top off scenes with him. Yep!!
Need to see Thor, cause the dude playing is a cutie patootie AND Idris Elba is in the movie, and Captain America so I can be caught up on my Avengers
...and that's about it!!
