the most wonderful wonderful wonderful WONDERFUL day (not time) of the year!!

I’ve been watching the show House of DVF which is the search for the brand ambassador for Diane von Furstenberg brand.  Let me say Miss Diane fires people the best!! She hands you a little parting bag and then you are gone! The bags have gotten bigger as the episodes go on and she is soooo nice about it.  What’s funny is all of the women feel so entitled like OF COURSE I should be the ambassador! But out of the last 3 left, I really don’t know who should be the ambassador.  I went online to see some of her dresses, she is known for a good wrap dress and it stops at size 14 AND they are like $250 for the cheapest dress.  SO maybe that won’t be my thing.

I bought a Christmas tree the other day! It’s not that I have been anti-Christmas when it comes to a tree, it’s just that the day after Thanksgiving comes and goes so fast and then it’s December 25 and then it’s way too late.  I bought a little table top tree a while ago and that has been what I used for that past several years. But then my mom (aka the roommate) said, I think we should get a tree!!  We means me.  So Monday at lunch in a dress I go to the Home Dept.  I went there because my seester said it was less of a hassle than going to a lot.  Thankfully there was a dad (who was actually kinda cute) buying a tree and he was helping me and I guess I was helping him.  The cashier was actually pretty helpful and then they had 2 extra workers who were also helpful.  I NEVER get that much help from the Home Depot crew so clearly this was my day!  The one dude cut the bottom and trimmed some branches and the kicker was that it needed to go in my backseat.  The trunk had stuff from the Sam’s Club AND the wheelchair and there was just no way it would fit there.  I don’t know if it was the smell or what but I had a smile on face!!  He put it in the backseat and I had to roll the window down, it really is a little tree.  I get it home, leaned it against my ottoman and didn’t put it up until after my sorority meeting.  It worried the roommate and even though she was in the bed when I got home, she wanted to get up to hold it in place so that I could screw in the screws at the bottom.  I told her I was fine and that I didn’t want the tree or her to topple over.  The next night I started decorating and it again worried the roommate.  She insisted on helping even though she couldn’t see the green hook to put on the green tree.  So she pointed and said just follow my point!!  So the lights and some balls are on the tree.  I need a few more hooks and balls and it’ll be complete.  Paisley hasn’t ventured to mess with it which I guess is a good thing, but we’ll see.  Christmas is next week! 

SO this whole Sony thing is both sad and hilarious!!  Basically there is a movie about to come out called ‘The Interview’ with James Franco and Seth Rogen.  The quick and dirty is that they are plotting to kill the North Korean dictator.  And then Sony files and emails got hacked and Koreans are being blamed. I have several layers to my thoughts.  1^st off getting a script green lit in Hollywood takes a lot of effort.  You go through many levels of people who read the script and decide who is going to do what and at every level people said Yep that’s a good idea!!  Sounds good to me!!  Strained relations with North Korea?!?!  OH no problem, it’s just a movie and it’s funny so yeah let’s go ahead and spend millions on this bullshit even though we just turned down a really good script because no one looked like the one presenting it and we just can’t see it but James Franco and Seth Rogen, people like them so yeah GREEN LIGHT!!  That right there gets major side eye. After all of this the movie gets made and the North Koreans are not happy.  I mean would you be?? It just smells bad to me.  2^nd Sony executives have had their files and emails hacked and all kindsa stuff is coming out about all the celebrities like someone said something about Angelina Jolie, they made fun of The Smith kids being home schooled, we find out the points for ‘American Hustle’ the men got 9% but the women got 7%.  AND THEN they are making a plea to the social media outlets and CNN to stop reporting on it.  REALLY GIRL???  I just don’t feel sorry for them.  Nothing is private and you have to be careful what you say and do.  Big brother is always watching.  I read this article on the whole Elf on the shelf phenomenon and that’s a whole nuther thing…. Basically it’s saying you are setting your kids up to not question authority and to be cautious and always do good because that thing is watching you.  Whew I digress…So yeah I forgot what I was gonna say next (imagine that LOL)!!
***UPDATE***
Sony has pulled the movie all together!  WOW  is all I can say.  I had no intention of seeing the movie because you seen one Seth Rogen James Farnco movie... you seen em all.  But this right here is interesting!!

what are you gonna do?

I need to start a tag #shitthatonlyIdo because there have been some doosies!  I went to get my toes done the other day.  I threw my coach wristlet on the chair and then had to straddle the chair so that I could get my shoes and knee highs off.  The second I sat in the chair my wristlet plopped right into the water.  It was only there for a second but my technician sprang into action.  She grabbed the wristlet, I pulled out my phone and thankfully it was only a little wet, and she proceeded to pulled everything out.  I had money, and receipts, and earrings and lip gloss a pen and it was a LOT of crap, but she was trying to dry it all out for me.  **smh** ONLY ME!

I am sparing some feelings and for the life of me I don’t know why.  My feeling matter too!! I really try to not let things bother me and even though I just talked about being passive aggressive, this is really not directed at one person.  Some days I’ll be talking to whomever and just wait to see when they are going to ask about me? Sometimes nope they don’t and I have to hear about a plethora of things that I maybe didn’t want to know right then and there.  It is the worst a few days before my time of the month I mean forget about it, you might get hung up on if I think about it too hard! Ehhh… we all get in our feelings I’m no different.  

The roommate has been giving me the absolute blues!!  And even when I tell her about herself it doesn’t matter because she has dementia.  Her ass is gonna forget!!  OH but she doesn’t forget that there are 2 kinds of cookie in the kitchen. But she forgets to eat her vegetables.  So what do you do?!

Christmas time is such an odd time of year for me.  Some years I try to get into the spirit but just fall short.  This year I am in try mode (LOL).  So I bought silver balls and white lights for the tree I plan on buying this weekend, but I kept the receipt so we’ll see if that actually happens. It is getting close to my birthday and every year I go into self-reflection.  Here recently I have been saying to myself this can’t be real life!!  I am going to wake up and things are going to be different.  And don’t get me wrong things are not bad, but they aint all that great either.  It’s a balance that I have still not mastered.  As for the Christmas part, I really want to not buy anything for anybody even though I already have and I intend to buy more stuff.  I have to ship stuff to the god babies because I actually bought stuff for them.  I have to wonder when I will see the little baby cousins or I might just have to ship that too.  I have to think about the other nieces and nephews who are just no fun to shop for because they are all getting old and ashy and gift cards or money it will be!!  I get real bah humbug!!  My sister has been listening to Christmas music (all year LOL) since about Halloween and I have just stopped cringing when I hear it in the stores I need for all of you to stop making new versions of the Donny Hathaway classic.  I was in the supermarket and heard this bird stuck in her throat woman singing ‘Hang all the mistletoe…’ and I got mad!!  Just do a new song something!!  I haven’t seen any this year but some of the best packages of products put together are at Christmas and Mother’s Day and I want them ALL FOR ME!!  I never feel like I’m a good gift giver and especially for the kids I feel like I am adding to the crap they already have. I did enjoy watching Rudolph the other night and that helped my mood.  I am going to see what else is playing this weekend.  I like the Baby New Year one and… really thinking now but I’m drawing a blank.  OH ‘The Preacher’s Wife’, saw that one last weekend.  So I’ll be flipping around to see what I can see. 

Top 5

Everybody has been doing Top 5 list of their favorite rappers because of the new Chris Rock movie and I have some favorites too.  Even though I am more of a happy rap kinda chick my list probably will shock some but here it is:

1.  Nas
2.  Wu-Tang (the group as a whole)
3.  DMX
4.  Tupac

5.  AND… maybe it’s just a top 4 because I am racking my brain and I can’t think of anyone else.  A lot of people said Jay Z and Biggie.  I like Jay Z enough but ehh… And Biggie I’ve never been a fan. 

I guess maybe this is a list of people who I actually own music OOOOHHHH WAIT I remember my #5

5. Ludacris!!  Because what song don’t sound better with Luda?!?!  I can even stomach corny ass Jamie Foxx with a Luda verse.  I really like his flow.

I watched the 1^st episode of ‘Girlfriends Guide to Divorce’.  The scene where she is about to get it on with the younger dude, which he says something corny like ‘are you ready for the younger man experience?’ played by the guy from Alphas (which is cancelled) and also he was in Rush this summer (as a bad guy and his ass got killed) but he is a cutie patootie who in real life is 39 but can play a 28 year old (must be nice) ANYWAYS… so they are about to get it on and this song comes on and I’m like wayment… WHO IS THAT SIGNING?!?!? What song is this?  That was a few nights ago.  So today I am stalking reviews and the IMDB and BING to see if anyone wrote about that song because it needed to be written about and how do you find out that information?!?  So one review on Entertainment weekly spoke of Lianne La Havas and her remake of Crazy by Knarls Barkley (or Cee Lo Green you know whatever you remember) and I do remember that song playing but is wasn’t noteworthy and it kinda pisses me off when folk redo some songs, I mean she has this bluesy husky voice so it did actually sound good but that wasn’t the song I needed.  So I am finding nothing on the good internet so I go back to the show on my trusty Kindle and try to relisten to the song.  I initially thought it was Joss Stone which is funny because she is on the remake with Lianne on the Crazy song.  SO THEN I get the bright idea to turn on closed caption (I am a genius in my own mind!!!) IT IS LIANNE LA HAVAS!!!! The artist and title pop it. The name of the song is ‘Is your Love big enough?’  and that’s the song hole up lemme add it:

 

I should know this chick and I kinda do but not really which is making me need to go back to my old haunts where I ‘discovered’ all the good stuff I know about.  I wanna say she was a VH1 artist ‘you outta know’ but nooooo… so now I’m gonna rack my brain trying to remember how I knew her.  Maybe she was at the Jazz fest last year!?!? Noooo that’s not it either I just can’t remember but what I DO KNOW is I need that CD just based off that song.  The song was so timely in the show because here we have a woman who is struggling through getting her mind right for getting ready to get a divorce and who's husband is already seeing someone and now is her turn to about to have sex with a young dude so it’s not even love but the song asks Is your love big enough for what’s to come?!?!  The answer is probably no!! She just wants the secks not love.

there's always tomorrow...

I attempted to live tweet while I watched Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer last night.  But alas, I am no good at doing that.  I always end up retweeting what other folks said because it’s usually funnier.  And then I miss stuff and have to go back and say OH YEAH.  Then my spellcheck on my phone insist on making my life a living hell LOL.  So these were the events that took place last night.  I clicked on Rudolph and said nah… I aint watching that!!!  Then I tried to find something else on but there was nothing so I clicked it back on because the Christmas season does really begin until after I see this show.  Here were some of my tweets:

It’s funny watching something year after year and seeing something new or not really realizing what I’ve been watching.  Hermie was a lil fabulous WITH red lips!!  I don’t judge I’m just saying.  ‘You can’t fire me I QUIT!!’ is in fact the best way to quit any job.  Clarice was the onliest doe that showed up to watch all the boys.  Why she didn’t have a crew of friends? She a fast tailed doe!!  And then I went and got some svedka clementine vodka and the rest is a bit of a blur!!  Yukon Cornelius devised a scheme with Hermie to get the Abominable’s teeth and then alla sudden Rudolph had antlers and he saved the day.  Santa picked up the misfit toys… THE END!!

I’ve said it before one of my biggest pet peeves is an un-updated website.  If that is your business then do better!!  

I watch most show on-demand because I just can’t remember when anything comes on anymore except for Wed night and Thurs night shows on ABC. Everything else is hit or miss.  So I was catching up on my New Girl.  That show is so dumb and funny at the same time.  So the episode I was watching was how men just punch each other, that is considered the fight, and then they move on.  Jess and Cece however had this whole passive aggressive thing going on where they never really talk about what bothers them and then they don’t talk for 3 days and then they are good.  As much as I don’t think I am passive aggressive, I know I can be.  I was going to do this whole rant about things folks had done to me because I had been wronged!!!  But then I was like well why can’t I just say to whomever whatever it is and then move on?  Well it’s not always so easy.  It’s easy to tell other people about other people.  Telling the actual person I always feels not right and this makes me passive aggressive, like I am stepping on toes.  Now don’t get me wrong, I do tell people about themselves, but sometimes, I don’t. 

But why miss do you have on a polyester burgundy pant suit with white boots?!?!  WHY??  I know people see crazy stuff at the Wal-mart (there is a whole site dedicated to it!!), but I seem to see the craziness at the Panera Bread LOL.  And also at Panera wait your turn. DON’T stand at the counter where they are putting my open food.  Sir I don’t know where you’ve been and I don’t appreciate you breathing on my food! You probably got the same thing as me but my number is 505 and you came AFTER me so don’t touch my plate!!! Eeewwww… Lastly, miss even though you clearly know the little dude wiping the tables and busing everything stop talking to him!  He needs to do his job.  And I don’t need to know he is a security guard somewhere nor that he is majoring in criminal justice but has no idea what he wants to do with it! But he might want to do detective work.  Which doesn’t that mean he needs to join someone’s police department?!? So there’s that!!

 

So I'm cyber stalking a guy right now who when I was a kid I thought he was soooo cute.  Now not so much! And then of course there are the guys that weren't cute at all but these days... my how things change! And on that same note I always wonder if I look as bad (or as good) as some people my age?  It's a vanity thing I know but sometimes people be looking REAL bad.  And others seem like they are sipping on youth dew... I don't know
