2014 New Year... may the random continue

Happy New Year!!  I am so glad to welcome this year.  I am turning 40 like next week.   I plan on having ignorant amounts of fun on the party bus I got for this weekend.  Then the next day a nice little Founders Day that I sincerely hope I am not too hung over.  Initially I intended for 1/1/14 to be my start of 40 days of 40, but I (as usual) did not get my shiznit together.  It was so cold this past weekend as I sat in my pj’s on Saturday I remembered I was supposed to be doing something fun.  All I could manage was showering and putting on new pj’s.  That was about as much fun as I could handle.  So the official kick off will be 1/11/14.  I really think I’m grown and can do multiple things over several days and think I won’t be tired.  So we’ll see. I have a spa day scheduled for my actual birthday!   

I’m already generally disgusted by the ladies room (and I use the term lady loosely) and what these chicks do and don’t do in the little stall.  So yesterday after glancing in the stall and see all the remnants I say to myself ‘come on ladies we can do better than this!’  Another woman hears me and says yes we absolutely do need to do better.   So then she goes on to say she doesn’t know why she even brought her coffee mug in there.  Of course I give her a blank stare and think YEAH that is extremely gross.  BUT then this morning I go in to the restroom and there is a pint of milk.  WHO DOES THAT?!?!?  I don’t even take food into my own bathroom at my house and I know what goes on in there. Just gross.

You are standing in the middle of the hallway!  WHY are you looking at ME crazy when I can’t get by??

A Few months ago 2 of the black male actors or comedians on Saturday night live made a comment about the lack of black women on the show.  Specifically Keenan Thompson said that when it was time for auditions black comedians were ‘not ready’.  This bothered me on so many levels but the main one was the fact that he thought he was ‘ready’.  I barely watch SNL so I only know one of his bits as a talk show host that can never really get to the guests because he breaks out into song “what’s up with that?”  It’s actually kinda funny.  OH and when he did Ray Lewis last year right before the Superbowl.  Other than that Kenan is pretty forgettable.  So I was glad to know that after the firestorm from those comments SNL actually did some ‘not so secret’ secret auditions for black actresses and comedians.  I searched for her on the YouTube and saw 1 of her stand –up acts.  She’s pretty funny and pretty, AND brown!! Sasheer Zamata.   Now I’m not sure if this is gonna make me watch the show any more than I currently do because we all know my eyes go sleepy time at about 10:18 PM  LOL

I am so not motivated to work right now.  I keep trying to wrap up a project that I’m doing but I actually am waiting for a few more things before it can be DONE.  SO I sit here and try to look as busy as possible.  Also, I try to not look like I am constantly on facebook (even though I am) to the guy I sit in front of.  He is not my manager, but I still want to look like a team player and be productive.  You never know who talks to whom.  I might be up for a position or transfer and he might be like OH NO NOT THAT CHICK!!!  All she does is player Words with friends and she is on the facebook ALL day.  That’s not a good look.  SO I do try.  Also he ALWAYS seems to catch me putting on lipstick.  It’s like the second I pull a tube out he is leaving or coming back to his office.  My manager has been working remote and that might be so good for the kid!  I need some boundaries.  And then there’s the whole WHY AM I HERE?!?  I appreciate my job and that they pay me well to do a whole lot of nothing most days because I have been there where I work my booty almost clean off and get paid peanuts and I like macadamia nuts.  You feel me?!?

So I am finally (freaking FINALLY) going to a natural hair salon to get my hair did!!  I saw this shop pop up and I kept meaning to see about it.  But actually I did try and google it.  And then one day about a month or so ago I see a woman with a nice braided style and she gives me the card to this exact spot. SO what do I do?  Oh I lose the card LOL  There is a sign in front of the store so I called and left a message.  When the lady called me back and I admitted it had been almost a year since I had my hair cut and done it sounded so stupid!  Like REALLY have I really been that careless?  I mean I do my share of upkeep and deep conditioning, but I know I need more.  I saw one of my regular youtube naturalistas cut her own hair and for about a good 3 minutes I thought about doing a DIY trim job on myself.  That would have been disastrous to say the very least.  I am a salon kinda chick!  I like going somewhere to have someone do my hair and me not getting a relaxer shouldn’t really stop me.  I’ve just been dragging my feet. But no more!
