Monday Musing from 14 to 41

Well I’m the mother of a 14 year old!  I am most appreciative to God for thus far sparing me from the horror stories that I hear on the daily.  Luck (cause sometimes that’s all it boils down to) is definately on our side.  We have 1822 days to get her to 18 - God please continue to bless us in this area.

Caun and I awoke early so that I could decorate the living room. As you have probably guess from previous pictures the fireplace is decoration central, lol lol  The sun was shining so brightly, I knew it was going to be a good day.  We should have let sleeping beauty lie, but we got excited and bum rushed her with our birthday dance - to her chagrin.

I had prepared a hearty breakfast of which I ate 5 points of (Grrrrr) and she opened her gifts.  She got a nice haul including 5 outfits from Grandma (of which 3 we could work with) and obligatory money from her fathers side of the family.  I was most excited about the whole Vin Diesel package. She was giddy, lol lol  A calendar, a pillowcase and a charm bracelet - I ROCK AS A MOM!  Thanks Ebay!!  vin-calendar.JPG

The sun was really calling us so we all got dressed and basically hung out in it all day. We went by some houses in the neighborhood where we would like to send her to school. That was an exercise in even I couldn’t make lemonade out of those lemons.  We are willing to sacrifice but not THAT much, lol lol 

We also got in some BTW time. This weekend was our homecoming and I was fiending to be out and about with the alumni.  I sure got it in!  We went for a little tailgating at the school.  I’m sooo glad that I have a husband who is liked!  Ya’ll don’t even know - if your SO or spouse is not a likable person - it just makes it hard.  He came right on in, got with folks, got him a sandwich and a soda and was chill. Meanwhile, my fast tail had to take the ‘walk’ you know walk around to all the classes out partying etc. and well just be fast, lol lol 

cake.JPGMacaroni Grill is where we broke bread for the birthday.  Always love that place. Good Good Food.  I had some Chicken Marsala well I had 1/2 my Chicken Marsala and a glass of sangria.  I just tapped out my points on GP.  I had plenty, that I had saved just for that evening.

Switch gears and Caun and I got dressed and headed out to the afterparty for BTW.  Since we missed the game - I was going to go and at least party for a little while.  We went to a 30 and over club to wait on folks.  Mannnn it was starting out shaky.  I was yawning, he was yawning. I was expecting Peobo Bryson to drop from the ceiling in a Soul of R&B Time Life shitck any moment, lol lol  Then the DJ arrived and put on “Cupid Shuffle” and it was as if the building shifted from all the broads coming to do that dance, lol

By midnite though it was on and poppin.  pammouthopen.JPGI LOVE hanging with my class and we had a good time!  We danced and laughed and basically kept it young and sexy in a room full of, no offense, some old ass negroes.  DAYUM!  Life got you beat down like that?!  Around midnite I decided I wanted to party hop - so we drove wayy from Old National to Metropolitan to go to the bowling alley where another party was suppose to be going on. I should have known.  We damn near got a cavity search to get in only to find out that the party had been shut down due to foolywagness.  Whew I was partied out by that time and crawled on in the bed around 2:00am.

Caun and I have been on something or the other cause we intended to go to the mall to get a new clasp for Goddess’ bracelet and ended up with a popcorn and drinks (me water) watching Saw, lol lol  Made me kinda sick to my stomach - which is the sign it was a good movie. Who are those sick mofo’s who do that movie?! 

All in all it was a good weekend.  So this week I have two huge meetings back to back, this last class I’m taking is taking itself wayy to seriously and I’m kinda not overly interested in it.  Trying to decide if Friday I want to join folks in the No Black Money Spent Day - dang we were trying to take the girls to see the Bee Movie, lol  I’ll see - I need to investigate exactly why are we doing this? 

Girlfriends and The Game are going to be ON FIRAH tonite, so remember to watch. Well let me gather up all the other stuff I’m gonna be doing while I’m in this meeting!

    Congratulations!
    We so far behind up here in Boston we just got the Soujah Boy last week. The Cupid Shuffle? We probably wont have that till next year! LOL

    Love line dances, though. Just in case no one asks you to dance, you can still get out there.

    I know what you mean by having a man who is comfortable enough to fit in… hope to have one soon myself.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, S!! (aka GODDESS)

    Pam, you looking good in that red, girl! I like how Caun’s tie matched what you were wearing… a subtle but nice touch.

    I can’t comment on the man/SO stuff cuz you know my track record, LOLOL! But, there might be a little something-something on the horizon… we’ll see. ;)

    Hmm… memory lane. When I was 14 I was crushing on El DeBarge and Haini from The Jets, ROTFLMBO.
