doing swell in 2012!!!

It is only January 4, 2012 only a mere 4 days into the New Year and I already feel like ANGRY BLACK CHICK!! I don’t know what it is actually I do know what it is and I need to correctify myself real quick!! This is a new year and all the dumb shit that was in the past needs to stay in the past. One good thing… well if you can call it good, is I just had my root canal; here’s why it was good. I have been in pain since at least late summer. Not having insurance is a bitch, but not having a doctor that will work with a sista is even worse!! These folks have been working with me and so appreciate it! It was just a load off my shoulders to not have to pay before services were rendered nor seeing that stupid sign “all services must be paid at time of visit” You don’t know how much that stresses a chick out. So like if the doctor does a good job then great the services are paid but if he (or she shame on me for the gender assumption) does a BAD job you done already paid for it so what you gonna do?!? I found it really hilarious that no one (or at least that’s what they had told me) got raises but I got 6 separate emails this morning about folks who got promotions. Now to the defense of ‘the Firm’ these may have been non monetary promotions, but COME ON who are we fooling here!?!?

It is now January 6 and I have had a few days to reflect, calm down do some woosai’ing so you know all and all things are good. ESPECIALLY also, because it is Friday. It just occurred to me that I either need to write a book or come up with a comic strip like Scott Adams because the people I work with currently and the folks I have worked with in the past are a constant source of me SMH and LOL. I mean some of the moronic things people say to me on a daily basis I have to think to myself 1. Are you serious? 2. Did you mean to say that out loud? Because I really think you had meant to think about what you had just said to me so go sit down and think about it before you re-ask that dumb ass question you just asked me!!! I mean I could really do this. I can draw! I am being spoon fed the dialog as previously stated, DAILY. And trust, there have been many MANY jems in the past too. Hole up… looking at my receipt from lunch. did I just get charged 50cent for ice or the tomato?!?!? Now I’m feeling some kinda way about this!! which is why I usually carry my already on a tight budget butt to subway cause I can get lots of tomatoes AND I know exactly how much it will all be!! I’m feeling bamboozled right now! and I digress… da hell was I talkinabout?!? OH yeah co-workers **LOUD SIGH** and you know what let me just end this part of the blog by saying TLBJIF (thank little baby Jesus it’s Friday)!!!!

why is it when I go to take any form of medication my cup which I had thought was full, always turns out to be ½ a swallow; and then I got some nasty drug on my tongue as I have to go run to the sink to get more water…that makes me mad!! And I know why not check the cup before I put the pill in my mouth. Because dammit that makes too much sense!!! I just did something real ghetto… I just a big bit outta my wings. Now there WILL be chix grease on a variety of things including my keyboard and the random papers on my desk. That was such a pet peeve of my mothers. Back in the day she was on the scholarship committee for my church and someone submitted something with grease stains on it. She would flip out if I had a grease stain on homework or something I needed to turn in. I mean I guess it does look bad and unprofessional. But now what’s funny is everything my mother touches seems to be greasy I always want to be like what have you been eating and/or touching!?!? All of her reading glasses be greasy then her drinking glasses be greasy. I really do not know

So it’s a new year for the past few years I have refused to make an out loud (or silent for that matter) resolution. And not that I have any dramatic declarations to make but ok see what had happened is I tried on a t-shirt last week and the spare tire just sat there like yep I’m here to stay bitch!!! And I was like WHOA where did that come from?!?? Keep in mind I have never been a small chick but having rather large well endowedness my stomach was usually covered. But now that the belly is running neck and neck with the ‘girlz’ it is time to really get it together!! So I will pull from my already vast library. I got Hip Hop Abs, Slim in 6 (although I think I lent that to someone), Turbo Jam, Windsor Pilates, 10 Minute Trainer and….OH most recently Firm Express. So yeah I got the having the DVDs covered. Now I gotta get the actually DOING the DVD’s covered. I was thinking about the gym thing but unless the people there look like that dark chocolate cutie patootie Dolvitt on the Biggest Loser I am not really interested! So we’ll see. That other stuff? Well I have this little reminder on my home computer that I will be a millionaire in 2012. I’m not really sure how that’s gonna work out, but I’ll keep you posted!!

2011 thank yous!!

hmmm last year I did a year in review... this year it's thank yous. What a difference a year makes!!

This is my 1st Annual Thank you Blog. Now some of this bull pucky is going to be sarcastic and other stuff is going to be very sincere. It is up to you to decide… :)

First and foremost I would like to thank Little Baby Jesus for whom none of this would be possible! And since this is the time of year where we are supposed to be celebrating Him, I thought it appropriate. This year has actually not been all that bad but as always I have faced some challenges and thanks to my girls Mary Mary, ‘Survive’ which has been my theme song for the past few months who help me keep it in perspective. Now my goal in life is to do more that survive, but some days I’m doing good to just do that.

So a year in review…
Jobs - Thank you for my temp gigs, one in particular that the chick flat out didn’t get (and I took good notes I just didn’t feel like learning nothing new) but yet they kept me around and were rather nice to me. Thank you to my now full time gig where they actually don’t mind me being the smart ass that I am as long as I keep most of it to myself ie: don’t tell the folks at HQ what I really think of the policies and (non-existent) procedures. Thank you to my part time gig as a bartender which went back to being the ‘fun job’ after a short (actually not so short when I had to deal with the folks who never having done waitressing or bartender they didn’t get that, uuumm YES I DO NEED MY TIPS!!) stint of being a ‘why-the-hell-am-I-doing-this-again’ job.

People - and I say this often but this one is really sincere Thank you to all my girls who allow me to vent! I say allow cause some folks won’t let you. I know we all got issues but sometimes I got shit I gotta get off my chest.

Bills -Thank you to Verizon for turning ALL my services off with you. I truly appreciate having one bill aptly named the ONEBILL and not allowing me to transfer anything from it so that if I missed paying my bill, which let’s face it I DID (it’s the holidays for crying out loud WHO reads their mail right before Thanksgiving), they turn it all off!! And quite honestly this has been a breath of fresh air cause all the other folks who be blowing UP my house phone have no idea of how to reach me… except for AMEX and BofA who just call my job so Thank you to them too while we’re at it!! So here is a good time to also thank Suze Orman who if you are not living your life wondering what would Suze do (WWSD) then you most likely living out of your means! So thank you for the harsh reminder that living within my means is so very necessary. Thank you to the lil Cricket salesgirl who didn’t even bother getting up from her desk as I had my few questions about the phones. I almost feel like going back in there like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and being like ‘do you work on commission bitch?!?!? Well you made a BIG mistake not waiting on me BIG MISTAKE!!! HUGE!!!’ Julia didn’t call those women in the movie bitch but sometimes you gotta drop a B in there to make it more effective!! That is a dream of mine to do that to some sales person who thought my pennies were not worth their time. I take customer service seriously so after I made her get up and explain a few more things to me. I said ‘oh OK’ and left!!! Hmm… that probably shoulda gone in the ‘People’ section

General Random - Probably most stuff should go here… Thank you Extra gum. I really appreciate the Polar Ice flavor that keeps me minty fresh. Oh how I wish everyone would pop you into their mouth after eating… I was going to say onions but NO all foods!!! Thank you Dollar Store for providing a great service to the poor and rich alike! I especially want to thank Lance for the 4 pack nekot peanut butter crackers and for being available at aforementioned Dollar store. Thank you to the the lil Mickey D’ dude who told me my total was $26.21 to which I said no it’s $2.12 so that’s how much I’m giving you and he busted out laughing!! WHO gets 26 bucks worth of McDonalds?!?!? That’s a whole lot of NOT cooking right there. Thank you to my grandmothers (gone but not forgotten) for teaching me how to cook. Both knew how to stretch a $ and make meals with the cheap cuts of meat and grabbing stuff from the freezer and pantry when times were lean. They didn’t let me starve EVER!! Thanks to my grandfather for feeding me sardines and crackers which I can’t even stomach the smell now but somehow at 8 it was a delicacy!! That kinda didn’t happen this year, but a long overdue thank you none the less. Thank you to th Baltimore County Library who allow me to use the free wi-fi no strings attached… well that is if you don’t count all the weird folks and loud kids and non-silence and general tom follery as strings. Thank you to Panera for also providing the good free wi-fi for the low price of the cheapest pastry item :) Thank you to my new neighbors for putting up reindeer village right in their front yard. And Thank you to my old neighbors who put up their regular lights that may not go down until about President’s day… in February 2012 OR LATER!!! Thank you to my cousin who provided me with the good SARC bag that works very well as a computer bag!! Thanks to my BFF who is letting me do a staycation in Charlotte. I might not never leave!! Thank you to little baby cousin who is supposed to be getting me a buddy pass or I may really be staying in Charlotte since I only got a one way ticket!! Thank you mom for getting me that one way ticket before the deal was done… Actually thank you mom for a WHOLE lot more than that. Thanks for hanging with me in the Dominican Republic that you insist on calling the Dominion!!

AND…I know theres more but my general attitude of gratitude is at it’s height right now!!

friday music mix

*** THIS BLOG HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY RECORDED***

I have been singing myself silly with this mix I’ve been listing to. I have scoured the internet to find sites that are not blocked by my companies firewall which totally sucks!! But hey I get it; They want you to work not be on facebook all day. But WHY then do they have a twitter linkedIN and Facebook presence that I can’t even see cause all the shit is blocked?!? I don’t get it (even thought I had just said I DID get it) ANYWAYS me and Seal were being kissed by a rose on the grave… a lyric I have no good idea what it mean but I be feeling it all the same!! Me and George Michael were carelessly whispering. I freaking used to LOVE that song. Back when you could only see videos on like video juke box, oh no wait I had my MTV. Probably one of the few people back in the mid 80’s that did in fact have cable. I used to watch the video and as a kid I was so clueless about what songs meant. It took me a while to GET that he was cheating on his girl with some other chick. What's hilarious now is when they play Careless Whispers at a wedding. I cringe I’m always like NOOOOoooooooo not this song!!! Don’t you people hear what they are saying. just like I’ll always love you (whitney version of course). These are not wedding song but people still be rocking them at the good weddings that I bartend at… Ummm how did I get on the wedding theme?!?!? hmmm. this is DJ Tommy Bones and I really need for him to have more mixes since he is not blocked. He normally does the good house mixes, but this was a ‘Quiet Storm’ mix. Now I usually do NOT do sex songs at work. I can’t focus on ooohhing and ahhing AND try and get my daggone work done…There musta been an angel by side!!! Sade interrupted me right quick.

Ok so this was definitely what I needed today. It’s been a mellow day not to many calls, but this week has been one for the books. I have to say I do get along with my supervisor which is a great thing, but she gave me my freaking review and that put me in a mood. I don’t know what it is but I have always ALWAYS always hated reviews. I want you to tell me my flaw right then and there don’t wait til a year later to say I screwed something up back in April. I guess because I have worked everywhere for every type of person I’m just always on edge with what they are going to say ESPECIALLY if it ties into me getting some more money which we all could use a little more, right?!?? And I am not a people pleaser which may work to my detriment. Only here lately have I learned it’s ok to not tell you where you can shove whatever it is that may need shoving. I just keep it to myself and vent with my friends who allow me to vent and keep it moving!

Chris Rock who dropped out in 9th or 10th grade… actually I’m not sure how his mother who I thought was really strict allowed that to happened but anyway he had this bit where he said there is a difference between a job and a career. I think he used to wash dishes at like Red Lobster or something… and having done my stint there I know how it is. Although my Red Lobster had the most hoodiest people working for and coming through where folks thought no matter how expensive the meal or how hard they ran me, 2 bucks was a good tip!! Man I had fun though!! After having been fired from my 1st job (LOL) for reasons I still scratch my head about… I mean I know but I kinda don’t really know. I went to the dreary unemployment center where the walls were fake wood paneled and everything else was a dreary shade of brown including the people who were not all black folks. And then I got the bright idea to go down the street and apply at the Red Lobster. So I didn’t hear anything for like 3 days so I took my bold self to the restaurant during the lunch rush and demanded that I speak to the manager who hired me on the spot!! Trust me it has never worked like that again. But it was a job. Although what Chris Rock said is a job there are too many hours in the day… you look up and think you have worked 2 hours and only 15 minutes have passed. Whereas a career, there are not enough hours in the day to work on your ‘projects’. This week I have been thanking little baby Jesus when 3 rolls around because I can handle 2 more hours! Right now it is 3:39 and I can do a little under 1 ½ hours. It will be all good!! Red Lobster holds a lot of memories for me… most good including the date where he said order whatever you want on the menu! To which I gave a blank stare and thought IT’S RED LOBSTER DUDE!!! I know the intent was genuine he kept saying do you want a shrimp cocktail? Do you want a drink? Dates… ahh I remember those LOL. Then there was the time we almost got put out of the Red Lobster cause we were 3 drunk LOUD obnoxious chicks who had way to many bahama mamas!! I think our tip might been 3 bucks that night!!

I have started the mix again!! Aaliyah’s ‘At your best’. I miss the star she would have really become. She may have tripped up early and you got married at 15 but she was on a good path. She died too soon. I had to google her real quick she was a Capricorn!! Janet is on now.. ‘Funny How time Flies’ is on. NOW A new one by Eric Roberson… I gotta put my pennies together and get his new CD. I missed the 1st song, it was Vanessa Williams and Bobby Caldwell Honey (or baby) it’s cold outside. DeBarge!!! Time will reveal!!! In 5th grade you couldn’t tell me they weren’t the best group EVER!! As I have said before… I wanted to have beige babies with El!! Ok back to Seal… umm a kiss by rose on the GRAY?!?! I thought he was saying grave? Now you know I just googled the lyrics!! Reading the lyrics makes slightly more sense now!! Lawd I can be slow sometimes. Break of dawn by Michael Jackson. Sweet Thang original CHAKA version. Actually I’m just skipping through now… Amerie I forget the name. I have the Sweetest Love. Robin Thicke who I really do like but I need something more from him… I’m not sure what. Can you Stand the rain NE version!! Quiet Storm Smoky Robinson WHO I might add was on the SingOff and sang with the already offed Afro Blue… They were the best!!!

Ok I’m rambling now and getting tired of typing

pre-turkey randomness

I know my family is dysfunctional. In fact, I would be hard pressed to find a family that was ‘normal’ whatever the hell that means. But our level of dysfunction is minor when I hear some people talk about theirs. What has me chuckling now is my manager has a time limit for her family to be at her house for Thanksgiving!! WHO DOES THAT!?!? You cook; have people over and just lounge… well at least that’s what I’ve always done. Her family has from 1-4 to get whatever they need to get in. Eat, chat, dessert and then go the hell home!! It’s just funny to me. I wonder how the fam would react if I said y’all have to be out by 4!! Well actually it’s just my aunt and uncle and by 4 they may have had enough of us!!

I am so desperately trying to be productive this afternoon, but that same manager in the aforementioned paragraph had a coupon for a local restaurant and I had a Caribbean jerk crab cake AND mashed potatoes so I am sooooo done right about now!! I need to do a few more things but my left eye is already doing sleepytime. I need to be like George (from Seinfeld) and take a nap under my desk. I may just bring in a blanket one day. I think I would do well in Spain where they do a siesta. Go to work, go to lunch nap and then go back to work for a few more hours. That is what my body needs to do. Hmmmm wonder if Career Builder has an office in Spain?
Church should not give me as much material as it does! I just kinda wonder what do people be thinking when they put on their clothes when they come to church. This one guy I swear if he wears one more velveteen jacket I’m gonna scream. NO MAN should have that many velvety clothes and rock them as regularly as he does to church! Then there is this other older dude who wears about 50 gold bracelets. He is BEYOND the Mr. T Starter kit. I know we are all thankful for what God has done in our lives and express it in our own way BUT this is overkill. It’s almost like he has been buying a bracelet a month since he was 25. And don’t even get me started on the shiny suits. If it has a sheen, leave it on the rack. If it is not a basic color (black, blue, grey, dark brown), leave it on the rack. Mustard, maroon and especially paisley printed purple are NOT Basic!! As for my ladies… ***LOUD SIGH*** when in doubt, spanx it out!! My church has a 'reserved' spot for pretty much everyone at the church but me. If you are the head of whatever ministry you got a spot AT ALL TIMES! I am not really used to this. My church at home (Pittsburgh) had 2 reserved spots. The Pastor and the Director of Music. I think as the years went on the First Lady had a spot also. So here of the 50 spots in the lot directly next to the building 45 are RESERVED... I am only slightly exaggerating. So the spot I got this Sunday was next to the 'Reserved for Senior Member'. In theory this is a GREAT idea. If you are older but not necessarily disabled there is a spot for you. I knew I shoulda took a pic, but what took me aback because I have seen these signs before but not up close. I see a sign I just keep driving. But the spot ( maybe about 5 of them) are for senior members OVER 80. Ummmmm.. I'm not knocking older drivers but 80!?!? 8-0!!! I am very afraid of all the senior drivers OVER 80 driving to church i just am!!!

My new mantra is pantyhose are for SUCKAS!!! I don't know why it just is!

Whew!!!

WHEW I dodged a bullet!!! I am not a tremendous fan of potlucks. But sometimes you are part of an office where that is the norm so I just try to fit in. That was the case late last year early this year (during one of a bazillion temp gigs) when the sun could be shining and my co-workers would decide to do a pot luck. The good thing there was they had GOOD stuff like ham! Who doesn’t like ham?!?! I mean you know except for veggie-only type people. So it was easy for me to go with the flow there because it was worth it. BUT… when I question the hygienic capacity of my co-workers then a potluck or ANY food they bring in is questionable. Like I remember one time (at band camp) I was temping… or wait maybe I was full time OH YEAH I was (hah IMAGINE THAT?!?)anyways… it was right after halloween and we had already had a few potlucks and had eaten this woman’s food, but then this fool says “The pumpkins I carved as jack-o-laterns got all moldy so I can’t use them to make my pies” eeeeeeerrrrkkkk SAY WHAT?!?!? Let me clarify…the pumpkin(s) you used to put outside of your house and had been sitting there for God know how many days or weeks; you were going to bring into the house and RE CUT to make a pie? I had previously ignored the fact that she had a house full of pets because you can be clean and have pets. But her hygienic capacity or HC came into question and from then on I ate NOTHING she cooked or even stood to close to. So this week co-worker (I won’t call her tweedle) says “Oh I made lasagna and I’ll bring it in for all of us to eat”. I tried to keep my face neutral but all the while I’m thinking ‘LAWD how do I get out of this, I do not want to offend her but I aint eating her food’ even though my lips were saying ‘Yeah I like lasagna; bring it on in!’ I do try to be PC but it can be a challenge sometimes… MOSTtimes here lately. So of course I bring my lunch in everyday and she mentioned it yesterday and I was like ‘Oh I forgot, I brought my chicken maybe tomorrow’ So tomorrow is today and I bring in my chili and so she goes to the temp (in this case NOT me cause I am full time baby!! with the good (actually not really all that good… but I aint complaining cause folks are still jobless and health insurance-less so you know)) benefits… ‘there are 3 pieces left, why don’t you take it home to your family? Oh wait do you want some (to me)?’ Nope I’m good!! thanks but (HELL) no thanks!! The reason why her HC is in question are way too many reasons to list and they may make it seem like I am paranoid and/or crazy which I very well may be... I’ll be dat! I am just glad our ‘Holiday’ dinner is at a restaurant. Don’t get it twisted though I know what goes on in the restaurant industry. So sending up a prayer of thanksgiving and blessing to the hands that prepared is always always ALWAYS important.

I am feeling some kinda way about Heavy D passing away. He was the epitome of Happy Rap! You know where the hip hop artist actually rapped AND danced!! He wasn’t talking about bling, or material things or anything negative, Heavy D just wanted Love… and sex I suspect! But he was classy about it. I remember seeing Heavy D and ALL the Boyz in concert about a month or so before his dancer ‘Touble’ T-Roy died at the good Civic Arena in Pittsburgh… or should I say the now defunct Civic Arena… which then makes me think about the 1st concert I went to at was it the Stanley?!?! hmm can’t remember with DeBarge (well 3 of them cause Bunny was pregnant and El was sick or something) and Luther Vandross… who is also dead : / Lawd I digress). Back to T-Roy..that was pretty horrific the fact that it was an accident from a stage prop. Heavy D was only 44 which is a little too close for comfort as I approach 38. I mean I know when it’s you time it’s your time and the bottom line is YOU’RE GONNA DIE! But this just makes me want to take better care of myself and enjoy life more. I really think he enjoyed life. If I sit here for a minute I can connect to him within 6 degrees… yep there it is!! Gotta connect the dots in my head. Actually I was shocked to hear Andy Rooney just died. He was like 115… but he too seemed to have lived a good life. And not that you have to have been a celebrity or lived an extra long life because I’m sure there a lot of miserable celebs. Well hell there are miserable regular folks which is why I try to find something good to look forward to every day. Too much negativity can turn toxic. I am a full fledge card carrying member of the theories in ‘The Secret’! Thoughts do become things!

• Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values.

See even Ghandi knew!!

I do not appreciate the fact that I know all too well what a dead rodent smells like in an office. This is going to be a long winter if these critters keep coming into the ceiling area and dying in the walls and vents. NOT A GOOD THING!!

I’m not sure why I don’t feel the effects of my workout until 2 days later. I get up and my legs start to crack and stiffen… Epsom salt take me away!!!

sober random...LOL

have you ever watched people watch you do something? You think well you too can do… whatever it is, but not everyone has the same gumption, so they don’t. Mostly for me it’s travel. I have been a lot of places seen a lot of things and in no way am I close to being done. I won’t even let the fact that I really ain’t got no money hold me back. It blows my mind when people say they haven’t been to certain places. Like I really do take it for granted that EVERYONE has been to New Orleans, or California or Las Vegas or even New York since that is at least on the east coast… but that is so not the case. Really what prompted this are my tweedles… the women who sit up front. I could call them co-workers BUT WHY when tweedle is so much more fun!! The main tweedle has such a fond attachment to her desk that when she does get up it startles me. So naturally when I leave the office for lunch or just cause I need some air the looks I get are rather interesting. Early on (keep in mind I’ve only been here since March… and my gypsy spirit is ready for a change but I must continue to appreciate what I have because jobs are indeed hard to come by!!) I would wait until like 1:30 or 2 starving to death because I wanted to make sure the ladies up front got a proper lunch. But I soon discovered that all they did was heat up their food and plop back down at their desk. Eating at my desk has never been something I liked to do. First of all I am a messy eater so I need to not grease up all the papers on my desk. Second, a break from my desk is so very necessary. The simple act of going somewhere for even 20 minutes can clear my head and think about other stuff that is not work related. Third, one time (at band camp) at a job I was trying to finish up something and ate my salad at my desk and those SOB’s called me to the HR office for me to be let go. SO here I am trying to work hard for a company that did not have any value for me or the work I was doing so… from then on I take my lunch NOT at my desk. I feel some kinda way about the whole lunch thing LOL.

I know money is tight and I truly brown bag it on most days. But like yesterday, I went out to hop in my car and it was so freaking beautiful that I walked on over to McDonald’s. BIG MISTAKE!! So I walk so that act alone is good for my health right? So I’m like I’ll get one of those fruit soothies. WHY is it that what I want is not available? So the little dude behind the counter who it’s clearly his 2nd day asks the manager Cha’taquinetta (I know that was mean but I couldn’t figure out if it was a weave or lace front… it looked good thought cause you know I have a whole separate thing on people and their hair) if the machine had been fixed. So she proceeds to say ‘I am gonna punch you in your throat! I JUST TOLD YOU IT WAS BROKE!!’ So I’m standing there dying laughing cause that shit was funny AND trying to defend little dude so I say well he is asking for me because that’s what I want. So she cuts a look at me, but really I think she thought that I was not the one so she just went on about doing what she needed to do. SO THEN I settle for a McFlurry with oreos. Well damn if the oreos were out… JUST GIVE ME THE M&M’S. I order the snack size and little dude proceeds to try to sell me a snack wrap. I kept saying no a snack mcFlurry. So he looks at the menu… you do know the line is out the door by now… and he says so which snack wrap do you want. so AGAIN I say NO A SNACK McFLURRY!! Cha’taquinetta had to come back over and use her excessively long nails to punch her code in so I can actually get what I wanted which wasn’t really what I wanted but I was settling because I really did need a snack at that point. But I really do not like cold M&M’s so I had to eat my snack size McFlurry slowly

ummm... 1 and 1/2 glass of jumbo wine... YES on a thursday!!!

last week my reason for going to happy hour with my GGG was because I didn't drop kick no one... This week has proven challenging but again I Have not drop kicked anyone. But the people need it... I'm just saying!!

the Walmart commercial with the sign that says 'just take one' and the little boy dressed up as batman takes 1 but then think HEY no one is looking.. THEN the little girl dressed as a bumble bee take like a HANDFUL of candy and the little boy say 'It says only take one' and she says 'I can't read!' and then take one more for good measure makes me laugh soooo freaking hard LAWD I don't know why.

the Old Navy commercials have taken a horrible turn... I need for the advertising company who thought these were good one to be fired ASAP!!

my cat is confused when I start dancing... she doesn't know if she should say and watch or run away. And if I clap she really is in a tizzy!!

so I have given up on trying to mack the cute UPS dude. I sit in my little office and it is WAY to obvious when I come out to to something random in the front of the office. there is new hope for the cute deer park dude... sadly this is my life LOL several years ago I would anticipate the office supply dude who had crazy tats and gold teef.. OH AND he looked like DMX. He was so hood but I felt a little tingly when he came around

so i 'discovered' the Total wine in my area... my like columbus, it was always there I just didn't know about it!! I was quite the giddy school girl a few weeks ago as I perused and purchased. I am going to go tomorrow!! It's friday AND pay day WHOO HOO!!!

i am finding my inner Ethel (my paternal grandmother) as I collect and justify my collection of mason jars : / not a habit I wanted to take up... but a good jar is a good jar AND a bag really need several uses before being tossed

my inner Barbara wants to quote scripture to the ungodly.. but sadly I can only paraphrase what Jesus and the disciple and nem had said : /

LAWD did I just say the disciples and nem!?!?!? SEE this is why I know there is a God and why He loves me... I take my religion and spirituality seriously but sometimes... not so much!!

it is Grey Anantomy night... why the other day on the radio they said the little cutie with the blue eyes used to be a teacher in Philly. If he was my teacher I would never get NOTHING done!!!

And speaking of radio WHY this morning I almost crashed cause the dude said someone let exotic animals out in Columbus... wait was it Columbus?!?!? yeah I had to google right quick. So this fool said 'White people... jogging is canceled for today... Wait until a black person tells you it is ok to go outside.' I LOST IT!!! I can't remember if it was Ricky Smiley or Steve Harvey show. He ALSO said if the animals make it to Cleveland there would be a sale on bear skin rugs for $39.99 and leopard shoes for $29.99. I was LOL literally... oatmeal flying out my mouth and everything.

Fresh Market in freaking towson has a jelly belly jelly bean section AND jumbo cupckes!! I am trying not to use food to medicate but that just makes me soo very very happy!!

some women just should not wear heals... if it makes you look like 2 sausages holding up a turkey just wear flats

uuummmm... I think that is it!!
