I had another blog queued up and ready to go but then I went to Florida on an airplane and I got some stuff to say. First of all... Southwest, I thought we had an understanding that you were not going to have people in the center seat? It worked well for me going down, but coming back home... Those mofos sold EVERY SINGLE SEAT and then some on that flight. And, had I known that, I would have NOT had my bag on the seat when all of the people under 150 pounds walked back. Now what I have never claimed to be was a little chick, but babaaay, the woman that sat beside me was very ample in size. And I looked at her and her 5 bundles of wet and wavy hair, caterpillar eyelashes, and long nails and thought a few different things. I don't want to body shame because big girls are sometimes just big girls! I'm more annoyed with Southwest than her. I just wished she didn't move around so much, and I wish I didn't miss the beverage service (wait... was there beverage service?!?), and I wish my arm and leg didn't go to sleep, I wish the flight attendant didn't make the announcement that we needed to keep our masks up when Southwest knew damn well they didn't care nothing about no social distancing, by booking the whole damn flight, like yes we can help to curb the transmission but shit, SHIT!!! REALLY Y'ALL... but you know... I made it safely home!
On to the time in between the fuckery of Southwest... I went to Florida and had a great time!! I hadn't seen my cousin or aunt in over 2 years and that is just unacceptable! Over the last few years so many things have happened and it was just impossible to get down there. SO I'm just glad that I was able to slow down a bit and hop on a plane and go lay eyes on my family! My cousin picked me up and when we got to the house there was a soror sitting with my aunt and my aunt IMMEDIATELY says 'Oh the baby is here! ' And I don't know why this always throws me off, cause I have to say out loud to remind myself that I am 47 whole ass years old!! And if we being technical 47 3/4... REAL close to 48 and even closer to 50 which I know don't make sense but whatever! And I can shake it off pretty quickly, because saying, I'M A GROWNUP makes you sound stupid!! I am real grown as Ms. Evelyn Braxton would say. Anyways, I get there on a Friday and we didn't do much Friday. Saturday was 'pool day' interrupted by a crazy midday Florida down pour. Their pool is so close to the house, almost a private pool for them. And jeez, just thinking when the last time I've been in a pool?!?! Huh... it's been several long minutes. Sunday we went to The Orange Blossom Classic which was a game between FAMU and Jackson State. This will serve as my Homecoming. I haven't made it to Virginia State's homecoming in more years than I care to even think about! So to see 2 amazing HBCU bands was a-freaking-mazing!! (I just said amazing twice.. that's ok carry on LOL) And, it was all in the comfort of a great suite!! I love when my people are in the know! There was chicken and vodka and Pepsi and water in a can (not sure why the Aquafina couldn't come in a plastic bottle... but whatevs), even some rose in a can. It was really just good fellowship and a good time! Not really sure what happened during the actual game, but what I do know is those folks are serious about their teams and colors! I have seen more para than I have before EVER! Monday we went to this great Greek restaurant and then the beach! I mean, how do I go all the way to Florida and not dip my toe in the ocean?! We drove up to the beach and found a great spot. The water was wonderful and I already miss it! At some other point we went to this local spot, Catfish Dewey's, that had all you can eat catfish; man it was so good!! I am now plotting my voyage to a local spot in Baltimore that has catfish because I need more!!
I need to understand why this one security guard makes it a point to come into this office to use the bathroom!?!? Like WHY SIR???? He then chats with whomever is available (never me though cause.... it clearly is a man thing and I am so ok with that LOL) and then leaves. And he has a big butt... ijs. That always throws me off as well cause he's white, but white guys can have big butts, and they can't jump (LOL... I'm chuckling to myself).
You know what really grinds my gears, people NOT responding to emails. It's like I gave you several days, you ain't that fucking busy buddy!! And this goes for work and personal. And I know things can get lost in the sauce but COME ON!
I'm not sure when I turn into the cheetah print chick but I am her!! And I just got of the QVC website (don't judge my life) and there were these little sneakers with snake and other animal prints. I immediately gravitated toward the cheetah print! Like for real WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?
