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

The serenity prayer is truly one of things I need to repeat to myself more times than I care to admit.  And here it is:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

The reason why, is I really have to step back sometimes and say SELF, or CHICK (you know whatever fits the mood) that aint your business! OR there is nothing you can’t do about that! Or just leave it alone! So that’s what I need to do.

***Kinda sorta spoiler alert…even though I don’t give that much away and you should still go see it!***

I saw ‘Dear White People’ a satire movie that centers on 4 black college students who attend a fictitious Ivy League university.  Now let me preface my thoughts by saying I am a 40 year old who went to an HBCU.  It was wasn’t so conscious of a decision that I wanted to be around all black folk, but more the size of the schools I visited was more my speed, but now that I think of it I only did a college tour of Black schools so maybe that was more my mom’s idea?!? Anyway  when I was doing research back in 1989-ish  (LOL) some of the majority schools were just too big.  Even Pitt, the college my mother liked to threaten me with, was just too damn big. I considered Virginia Tech but the freshman class was like 15 thousand people.  I honestly was not exposed to some of the smaller schools and staying in Pennsylvania was out of the question.  All that is to say I could not really relate to this movie BUT it was good!  The main character was a mixed race girl who had a radio show called Dear White People.  The anecdotes were funny like DWP please don’t touch my hair! I have not had this experience.  It’s usually other black people that want to touch my hair.  Or DWP don’t dance!  This one was hilarious because I sat behind 4 white women and the one woman said AWW MAN!!!  I almost fell out my seat it was so funny LOL This character was the ‘militant one’ who dated a white guy but then then black guy was in love with her and then her white dad was sick so she just had a lot of race issues that she had to get a hold of.  The next character played by the little guy in ‘Everybody Hates Chris’ who I didn’t even realize he was gay until the movie was almost over.  He didn’t really fit into any one group so he was kind of a loner.  The next character was the son of the dean of the school (the dean played by Allstate’s Dennis Haysbert) and had issues of wanting to do what was expected of him instead of what he really wanted to do.  SO he dated the president’s daughter but didn’t really want to and then ended up sleeping with the last character who had some really crazy issue.  She also had a radio show/vlog and hated the DWP segments.  Her goal was to get with a white guy.  Her form of self-loathing I haven’t seen in a quite some time.  I’m not saying everyone who has a relaxer or get weaves or has color contacts has issues because that’s not the case but she was trying to get as far away from here roots (literally and figuratively) as she could.  Basically my synopsis is that these are 4 different young black people who are just confused but navigating their way through college and eventually life in a landscape that thinks a certain way about all black people and lumps them into one big monolith, but that is so not the case.  It is a worthwhile movie to see.   I am a youtube kinda chick so I’ve been hearing buzz about this movie for quite a while.  So yeah, that’s my review

The Aaliyah Movie was BAD!  I mean there was not nothing in no way good about it.  But Ima need for all of you people to ease up on my best friend in my head Wendy Williams.  You guys are flooding the internet with such negativity and it is just not necessary.  You took your time to watch it so that was YOUR FAULT!  It was on Lifetime, what the heck did you expect?  Name any good movie that has been on that network?  Don’t get me wrong, you can get stuck on a movie and/or movie marathon on that station and wonder what the heck happened to your day.  And then there are themes like the women who beat their husbands or women who are single mothers who got abducted to the Middle East for prostitution (LOL); it gets that ridiculous.  SO yeah the memes have been hilarious.  And that’s it.

Onto Bill Cosby… **LOUD SIGH** I didn’t realize until today that this came up because of another comedian who did a bit about Bill Cosby.  I don’t think he was trying to gain fame he just did his bit, someone taped it, put it on the internet, and it went viral.  I mean we are in internet age! But this clearly isn’t new information.  I remember back in the day that Bill Cosby had a child outside of marriage (just like Jesse Jackson) and then it just kinda went away.  Like no one said any more about it.  And I guess that is the same thing.  Women made allegations and then it just went away.  I think he absolutely did what they said he did.  The last time I heard it was 17 women who came forward.  That’s a lot of women to be lying on a man, so I do think there is truth.  And the comparison I made was we still hold (or held) the Nazis responsible for their war crimes decades after they came to the USA and started families and tried to live normal lives.  They still killed and tortured people, but now that they are someone’s grandfather they are exempt?  And not to compare Bill Cosby to the Nazis but it does fit. Just like we all forgot R. Kelly liked little girls until we saw The Aaliyah Movie.  I didn’t forget and I never did like R. Kelly. NEVER!!  The only song he sang that I like was ‘I believe I can fly’ and that had more to do with my nephews and Space Jam.  I do however like Cliff Huxtable and Bill Cosby played him so in some regard I will always like Bill Cosby.  And Fat Albert?!?!  That was my childhood right there.  He is 77 and someone’s grandfather so while he is not exempt… uhhhh I don’t know, I just don’t…

It was someone’s bright idea to give me 2 trash cans, 1 for recycling and 1 for regular trash.  BUT WHY is the one for trash smaller?  I have lots of trash and just a little recycling on a daily bases.  Right now it is full to the brim.  Probably the same person who didn’t provide a closet for me.  Just freaking geniuses!!

randomness at its finest...

Today is Music Monday! I don’t know if this happens for you, but I can be minding my own business and just hear a song that just takes me where I need to be.  And that happened to me just this morning.  I am on my way to work all late and hungry cause I had to make sure the roommate was good to go and this song comes on the radio.  I instantly know its Tank because his voice has a certain something that sets him apart from others.  It was his title song to his new cd Stronger.  And I was like YES!!  I need to get this cd right now… well not right now cause I’m still driving but I need this cd in my life!  His first single ‘You’re my Star’ has this retro feel to it and I really wasn’t feeling it until I saw the video and being the video vixen I am in my mind it made wanna get up, get in shape and go try out for the next video shoot happening in the good Baltimore a la the old Aunt Viv when she still had it but then decided she didn’t really want it.  So now I am listing to the CD on the youtube and I am happy about my purchase on the amazon and did anyone else know that prime went from 79 to 99 bucks!??!   I know these are run ons but stay with me!  So this cd is H O T N E S S!!  This is his 6the cd and I‘m wondering if I need to revisit 1-5?  I know he wrote some song for Jamie Foxx and I bought his dumb 1^st cd and was greatly disappointed.  Except for Unpredictable because it had Ludacris on it and doesn’t he always make any corny song better?!  HE DOES!! Ok back to Tank… I totally missed him at the Essence the year I went because I was on my grind tryna get to the super lounges. I saw sexy Ty!!! But I missed the other T and G.  I don’t really know what happened with the whole TGT thing.  I wasn’t really here for it but you know 3 sexy mens I should have been, right?  I think r&b is inundated with sameness.  Singers sound the same, songs sound the same.  Producers who work with different artists do the same thing.  I like my independent people for just that reason, they try different things.  So I keep Eric Robeson, Anthony David and the like around for some plain old good music!  I’m going back through some of his old stuff… while I appreciate the shirtlessness, I think I’ll stick with this one.

The roommate is home!  She had a temporary stay at the good assisted living because she fell and fractured her ankle in August.  It was a good break for the both of us.  I am getting myself back into the swing of things, namely buying groceries and cooking.  I have a bad habit of eating out too much probably a good reason my ass, boobs, and belly won’t get any smaller. 

I’ve had a few epiphanies recently.  1.) I need to stop blaming outside things for me being unsettled.  It’s no one else’s fault but my own for not getting my shit together.  2.) Everyone is not in the same season at the same time. What I am going through might not be what you are going through and even if you have some sound advice for me, I might not be in the space to hear it.  It goes both ways.  3.) and this is an extension of 2… we all have different fears and re-naming it to make it sound like it’s not a fear doesn’t make it any less of a fear.  Take these however you need to take it.

Now I am on to Tevin Campbell… what happened to him? The Wikipedia page said he is working on a new CD. I used to sing at the top of my lungs to him driving to and from the good VSU!! There were several tapes (HA TAPES!!!) the red Renault had a tape deck LOL I did a lot of singing and praying between Petersburg and DC  cause once I hit 495 I had to concentrate.

he wouldn't know a new idea if it hit him the the pachenga...

You know how when you have something you want and then it’s not really as good as you wanted it to be!?  Well that would be me last night.  I got the chicken and waffles from a place not too far from my house.  This place is a new spot and the 3^rd time I’ve been there.  So I’m not really speaking badly about it but more about my quirkiness for watching my food being made.  I can’t face the kitchen because when I see my food done I want to go pick it up, but you can’t just go up there and do that.  I WANT TO, and my friends know I am crazy enough to go into the kitchen but I haven’t.  Last night I watched them pull my waffle off the iron cut it, powder sugar it and then it sat. And sat… and sat some more.  This was just bad time management.  My chicken should have been done AND then they should have made the waffle, not the other way around.  I really wanted to fuss but I didn’t for a few reasons 1.  I was pms’ing hard and I had been fussy all day anyway.  2.  I was hungry and I just didn’t feel like a fight.  3.  There were just too many people there.   Had it just been me I probably would have said something.  The chicken was nice and hot but the waffle was just so/so.  I already know take-out waffles are not a good idea so I’m not sure why I thought last night would be any better.  The only exception would be the Chicken and waffle food truck which I haven’t even (ok took a quick minute to google… the last tweet they did was 9 months ago) seen in a while.  But I guess since that is what they do (or did) it, the chicken was already ready and you just kinda waited for the waffle.  It always worked out.  Another place is a sit down restaurant that I was truly not feeling, but they have chicken and waffles and they are GREAT!!  I went and hijacked a friends food LOL She likes the place and everyone else in Baltimore like the place but now I know to get just the chicken and waffles.  And did I just totally do a whole thing on chicken and waffles?!?!  YES I DID!!! If you are in the Baltimore area close to Owings Mill small, go have you some chicken and waffles at Granny’s which is about the onliest thing holding that dead mall together.  Then if you want some just good general food but not necessarily chicken and waffles go to Café 1137 on Windsor Mill road.  I have had the catfish po’boy, the tilapia platter, the Asian wings and the regular wings (well that came with the waffle) and it has all been excellent!  Worth the trip and wait.  They are on Yelp and Urban Spoon so look them up that way because the website as of today is still under construction which can start a whole new rant…

When you have a business make sure you have an up to date website.  That is about my biggest pet peeves when it comes to businesses.  It is a cost of doing business and should have been in the business plan I hope you created before opening your door to any business.  This is 101 stuff, not even advanced.  There are so many low cost ways to host the website because I understand it may take a lot to build from the ground up, but there are 100’s if not 1000’s of templates that can be used to get you started. And then go on social media and promote your business.  I get a blast from someone in Richmond about buying a cheesesteak almost every day.  And you know what I WANT A FREAKING CHEESESTEAK every time he sends it, but I am in Baltimore.  But guess where I go when I’m in Richmond?  Str8 Out of Philly.  They have a website str8outofphilly.com   I am doing a whole lotta plugerization here I need to be getting something for free LOL Damn I want a cheesesteak now!!!

Speaking of food I hope that was my activia peach orchard yogurt I just took from the frig.  If not OH WELL!!  It’s gone now **shrugs**

I am getting ready to go vote early today. It’s the gubernatorial race as well as some questions and I’m going to answer them.  It is my civic duty!

I'm K-I-T! Kit!! I'm keeping it together now!

I have been really laughing at myself lately on just how long it takes me to get started with doing actual work.  It is quite embarrassing… well no not really that’s just how I am.  So here goes.  My goal is to leave my house between 7:30-7:45 from my house to get to work about 8 – 8:15(ish).  It’s a good day if I start my coffee by 7:45, take my meds, eat, and walk out by 8.  Usually I can get the coffee and meds done without hassle, but eating is always a little tricky.  Do I eat oatmeal?  Do I stop at Mickey D’s?  Or Chick-fil-a which is in the opposite direction and I’m already running late so maybe I’ll just get a bagel at the cafeteria at work.  Man I wish there was a little café on the way to work which I think that one place across from Windsor Inn is but no one is ever in there and it looks a lil suspect.  Get to work usually by 8:30 or so, sit at my desk turn on computer and check email.  ALL email, work, and personal and OH someone mentioned me on the Facebook so let’s click on and see what they said. Stay on there for longer than I will admit.  WAIT I’m still hungry!!  SO I go to the caf and hope there is no line at the bagel station.  There usually is not.  Eat and then see if my team lead is in the office.  GREAT he’s not and didn’t bother to tell me so let me see what I’ma do today.  Check emails again.  I need to get my water, sit back down.  NOW I have to go to the bathroom which I probably coulda did when I went to get the water but that would’ve been too much like right.  Oh now my co-worker comes in so we have to chat about whatever! Did I plug my iPod in?  If not I need to do that because it does not hold much charge and I need a good song to get my day started.  Ok... cue up the house music and let’s go!!

I just got a new phone.  Which is not technically my first smartphone, but since the last 2 I had didn’t do anything without any great effort I called them dumb phones, so now I have a SMART phone and I don’t see what all the hoopla is about.  I mean I get it, but do I really need to be this connected to just EVERYTHING?!? The short answer is NO!!  It is a nice distraction, but distraction is exactly what it is.  I signed up for Instagram and within seconds, not minutes SECONDS I had people following me.  I still don’t know why because I haven’t posted a thing. There are a few hair and make-up bloggers that I wanted to follow but I didn’t realize you could just follow folks all willy nilly and in turn they can follow you. It’s a little unsettling.  I signed up for Yelp because I like food and I like to see what people have to say about it.  I added facebook.  And some kinda way because everything is Google based, it synced (syanc?) everything from my Google profile.  So that means I have contacts/emails in my phone that I have no desire to have in my phone like BillCENSUS!  He was a dude I worked with back in 2010 when I worked on the Census.  Am I ever gonna call or email him again, NO!!!  I don’t know how to undo it.  And then when I started adding my contacts it wants to attach to people that are already in the phone that did the sync already.  I know this is a learning curve but I feel a little vulnerable now.  And I downloaded Viber to chat with my bff all the way on the other side of the world.  So those are the dets on the phone.

Sometimes I want to yell to people JUST LISTEN!!  Don’t talk, don’t have a comeback (witty or otherwise) just listen!  By the time I get around to posting this the conference I am preparing for hopefully will have been successfully over.  Some of these planning meeting have been a hoot.  So a person from 1 committee says there will be 2 screens at the venue SO WHY do hands go up after she is finished to ask how many damn screens there will be?!?!? If you just listened… **loud sigh** Another, good rule is FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!! It’s just usually a good general rule of thumb.

I don’t know whose bright idea it was to only have microwaves on the bottom floor.  Probably the same person who didn’t bother to put very many closets in the building. And probably the SAME man who did not provide me ample space in the rest room, except for the handicap stall, because he is a man, I’m sure of it, and he didn’t think about the toilet paper holder touching my leg when I have to go.  This is supposed to be a green building, but there is so much wasted space that I could freaking scream.  For starters, does food smell that bad that I can’t have a microwave on my floor?  If it is a well vented area, what is the problem? And does every area have to hide the trash cans and supplies that it takes me all morning to find a spoon?  Every day I think I am going to find the hidden closets because I am still convinced that they are there an no one is clueing me in on the secret because how else do you explain rows and rows of cubicles with nowhere for people to put their coats?  It is getting chilly I need a space to put my coat and since you gave me a short ass cubicle I can’t hang my coat here.  And the one over in that other department has supplies in it so please tell me what I am to do?!?  AND THE BATHROOM!!!  Why must all doors except for the handicap door swing in?  Is there some bathroom law that says they have to swing in instead of out? And I am not no little chick so me and the girls need ample space to get in and out of the space.  There are very few public bathrooms that work well because they all seem to have poor placement of the toilet paper holder(s), the sanitary napkin bin, and then seat liner if they are provided at all.  I need to find the rest room association and join it to help change the design of bathrooms everywhere to make them work better for me and then in turn everyone else!  I’m sure it is male dominated and I am sick of it!!!

This is for my natural chicks… and ALL WOMEN… calm down ladies!!  It’s just hair!!  So I have been seeing a lot of rants lately about how people feel their hair is being perceived and maybe it just hasn’t happened to me (yet) so I’m not tripping.  One of the bloggers I watch pretty regularly had an issue with one of her male (and gay) co-workers saying another natural co-workers hair was ‘wild and crazy’.  She went OFF!  Like straight off the deep end and I sat there and watched the video and thought really girl?!?!  Another woman does protective styles because she doesn’t know how her mostly white women co-workers will say.  What I have to say to that is most days my hair IS wild and crazy and FABULOUS!! It just is!!  And I’m not really concerned what folks say or think, and that probably is the difference.  I think initially I was very defensive and ready for a fight if someone said something crazy.  But after I came in the office and I got so many compliments after I cut it all off, whatever tensions I had were eased.  My selfie steam is intact!! But I guess I’ll speak on it if and when it happens to me.

I don’t know what the age is and if it should just apply to everyone, but what you need to do is put the phone down and stop driving in slow motion!!  We are on the beltway ma’am sir and calling whomever can really wait!!

Happy Premise #3 - Even though i feel like I might ignite, I probably won't!

So they have been hitting all things Jewish really hard at the assisted living in the good Pikesville MD.  I don’t know why but Hava Nagila gets the roommate going. She has been known to throw her hand in the air and wave it like she just don’t care!

I swear to all that is holy and good that folks feel like they can say any ole thing online and in the comments section and not give a second thought to it being mean, hurtful or unkind.  I mean really?!?!  I know people use online as a way to hide, but not me.  If I say it online please believe I’ll say it to your face!

The other day I came home to a huge pile of dog sh… POO in my yard.  As much as I wanted to blame my neighbor that has a dog, it’s a little dog and this was BIG pile o poo.  So this morning it took me forever to get myself together and when I opened the door to walk out I see a man and Benny the bulldog (LOL) but he has him on a leash so even though I side eye them both I don’t harass them.  Then up the street I see the crazy ass black dog.  Now this fool has run himself in the middle of the street and the car thankfully stopped so the silly owner could come get him.  The dude with the bulldog has stopped walking too because he doesn’t know what this dog is going to do.  The black dog looked playful but you just never know.   This while my neighbor across the street has 2 big trucks coming in and out of his driveway because he is getting some tree work done and I’m standing there fussing at one truck for driving the wrong way up my one way street and watching the silly owner and black dog (he just HAD to be black).  I noted the house but since I already cleaned up the mess I couldn’t point to it and fuss, BUT I KNOW it was that damn dog!!!  It’s probably the same dog I told to go home… no wait that dog was a pit bull and when I yelled at him, he went home (LOL).  I bought something from PetSmart with pepper and citronella as a deterrent.  I’m not trying to hurt nobody’s dog I just don’t want them to poop in my yard.

On Iyanla Fix my life she had a man who had 34 children with 17 women.  And I thought about myself and immediately knew that could not be me. I can’t even date someone with too many kids.  I remember 2 guys both were handsome in their own way.  One had 4 kids, well 5 but he counted the set of twins as 1 which even when he said that my libido just went down to the ground.  Oh wait, this was the same fool that did naked push-ups LMAO Anther story for another day… The other had 4 kids 4 baby mothers and I just kept thinking my baby can’t be #5 NOR can I be baby mama #5.  Not that I wanted to have kids or kid with either of them but as a childless single chick it’s something I think about. His deal was 1 kid he just found out was his; 1 was in Nebraska (yeah I know Nebraska??!) and 2 were in Baltimore; 1 with his sister’s best friend the other with some random woman.  BLANK STARE!!  Yeah he had already too much drama.  So then I’m seeing the promos for this show and I still do not know how you get caught up in mess like that unless you just want to.   He must have been spitting and/or slanging some high end shiznit to have that many women.  I mean who dates their friend’s man?  AND has a kid with him!??  And then you still stay with him and have a few kids with him.  And that’s only 2 of them!!  I would have loved if she had ALL of them and as many kids as she could fit in like an auditorium or something.  And I get why the older kids were like just forget it! We don’t need you now!!  It’s a bad situation all the way around.  And them damn baby dolls!!!!  That was thee most hilarious thing Iyanla has done.

I am having a rough morning as I laugh at myself.  So I left my coffee in the cafeteria and got a side eye glance from the dude in the bagel line as I walk right to the front to grab my mug.  I get to my desk proceed to drink and wonder why my dress is wet, OH that would be from the hole in the insulated mug/cup thing.  Why a hole, well that would be because I did  a horrible packing job when I attempted to pack them in the bag I just purchased on the cruise to carry all the crap I bought on the various islands.  SO it had a handle which broke and I tried to repair it, but I stuck it in the dishwasher and the glue melted off (imagine that).  Now it’s just a hole.  And I keep sticking it in the dishwasher and that part keeps getting filled with water which is why my dress is now wet!  Thankfully it is of a polyester variety so it will dry quickly.  And of course I now also have a coffee scented keyboard!! Oh the joys of being me…
