Happy Friday Ya’ll!!  Is this thing on?  Ya’ll know my ‘yellow’ freaks me
out.  I will keep writing, but I fear I lost some folks by (1) never
commenting on what I read and (2) moving to a three day format - but I
gotta fit the rest of my life in there folks - so oh well. I know ya’ll
come by and I’ll leave the light and some drinks out for yah!

Well tomorrow at 2:00pm, the graduation services
start for me out in Clinton, IA.  Ya’ll toss one back for a sista round
2:30pm, lol  A major accomplishment for myself and I’m looking forward to
knocking out this Masters and somewhere in there pledging Delta Sigma
Theta!!  YEA!!!  Oh and I will go to Bartending school next year belive
that!

Sunday marks my 14th Mothers Day celebration. It should be low key, because I have a trip coming up and to
be honest, I’ve done a ton of shopping, I don’t need anything.  I just want
to be with the family, go to Roasters and have me some chicken and
broccoli/cauliflower casserole and call it a day.  Maybe one of my books
will arrive and I can curl up and just relax and read. Suppose to be
raining anyway.

Just like with American Idols Syesha, Sam Cook’s "A Change is Gonna Come" makes me emotional.  It is so haunting and relevant on a global and personal scale. Her singing it last night, was poignant because I see change happening in my life.

Hola!  Como Estas?  Feliz Cinco de Mayo!  I’m anticipating getting home and cracking open the Corona.  I am on a mission to find out how much beer will get me tipsy. I haven’t been a beer drinker, but within the last year or so I have started sipping on the suds a bit, lol  my tastes are expanding.

This weekend was so hectic, but it is kinda fuzzy exactly what I did besides blow through two paychecks.  We have all these discussions about monetary matters and then say fuck it.  SIGH.

We officially started the summer movie extravaganza with Ironman this weekend.  YEA! is all I have to say.  It was good. It was quite witty as well.  I am a bit disturbed that nowadays all enemies are from the middle east.  What happen to the good ole Russians/Germans?  LOL  I liked the movie because the CGI enhanced it and didn’t take away from it.  Robert Downey was good as well.  Oh and stay till the credits roll.  I am excited about alot of movies coming out. We are saving the Drive In for when my mom comes and Indiana Jones comes out.

Don’t you hate when your sleep gets off schedule? As I was up at 1am watching Jaws II - it dawned on me that I am all over the place with the sleep. 

Mariah and Nick eh?  I tell yah - now I"m gonna have to check out his swagger, it’s always those thin ones, lol

I think I need a hug - these are the next two books I’m reading soon as they get to the house:

 

Now I’m looking for a book called Slut - that’s next right whore bitch slut  SIGH

Gary Coleman and his wife made me start DVR’ing Divorce Court.  Hmmm interesting.  I really feel for him - he is just a sad angry little man.

Can you believe it’s May already?!  This year is flying by!

Got my official acceptance letter from School for the Masters of Operational Management Program YAYY!  A friend had the book already so I won’t have to buy that.  I start May 27th.

Only 19 days until Mama Ali hits the ground - Operation clean up about to get under way.

My favorite throw away clothes store is having a BOGO - Hoochie summer tops here I come, lol

I am not fat. I’m still overweight but in my eyes I’m finally back to plump, lol

When you trip over the carpet, step on your own toes and have to damn near crawl back to your desk - all you can say is that’s what you get for twisting all the damn time, lol

Who knew your relationship can get deeper and better and more emotional.

I am giving myself about two more days of being 14, it’s been a great ride back into my mind about that time.  God was I stressed, lol

I’m a Fucking Princess had a short lived existence on Mini-me’s Myspace page - hope you saw it cause it’s G-O-N-E.

Secretly her "You bitches mad cause I’m different and I’m mad cause you bitches the same" welled me up - that’s my child, lol lol  That’s gone too!

After watching the religious compound in Utah - didn’t you want to go rent Stepford Wives? lol

I likes this mineral makeup!  It’s the only one I’ve worn that doesn’t come off during the day. 

Decided on a weaveologist now gotta decide on a style. SIGH

Um can I be economically stimulated early?!

Oh in answer to a question: Yes I’m talking about Little Five Points in the ATL.  That’s where I be, lol

The weather is making me fiend to start off the drive in season - it’s time

I broke one of my own rules and joined a discussion group (I’ve swore off these sets of cliques, I do only one and do it not so much anymore) and like I knew - a sista felt like the elephant in the room.  I should have just kept it to reading - but all that talk of hair overwhelmed me, lol 

 

 

I just wanted to end with some fineness.

Ya’ll have a good weekend!

 

Hey everybody!  I know I know I’ve just been in another world lately and blogging has kinda floated around in my head but not actually hit the page, lol lol 

How you be?  I’m fine thanks for asking.  I’ve had to restructure my time to spend a lot more time with the child.  She got all this stuff coming up. 8th grade dance, picnics, etc. A couple of hair dos etc. I need to get her dress for graduation.  Just filled out camp forms and transfer papers for her as well  She got accepted to the cities counselors in training program after one heck of an interview. Its from June 9th-July 11th. One week intensive training an overnight rafting trip in So Carolina and then 5 weeks as a Jr camp counselor.  Should be fun, by the time she’s 16 she can counsel or pay.  Good deal!

Then she is in the middle of her first crush. Lawd its gonna kill me. Yes this is going to be the death of me. He’s a nice young man captain of the football team and all that jazz, but this whole thing is new and its like I have been traveling up the roller coaster and bam!  Here we go over the edge. Now more than ever I am spending time talking to her interacting with her relating stories of my youth. Keeping her engaged. Its hard not to just freak out cop an attitude and what not, but that’s fear and I can’t be afraid. I just take it one day at a time. Caun and I talk to make sure we aren’t giving mixed messages and we just try to not freak out, lol We smile a lot and try to make her feel comfortable talking about what her and her friends are doing. I told her I know it’s wonderful and the feeling is great, but like I told you when you started to menstruate - it means your body is capable of conceiving/nurturing and birthing a baby, but your PERSON is not emotionally, mentally ready for the consequences of that action. Same thing with boys. Your biological response to the wonders of boys does not mean you are READY for the consequences.

My sew-in quest continues, sigh. I ended up hearing very bad things about one place. So I’m a keep it stepping. I will find someone. I want someone actively working in a salon or with established clientele. Dammit for not having a hairstylist. Imma touchup the front half of my head in anticipation and just let it be while I continue to look.  I think I found someone - her portfolio is fierce and her prices are reasonable in my mind. The $50 sew in’s scare me, lol 

I am enjoying not having school. But I’m looking forward to going back.  Things are poppin off in my professional life and I’m slowly but quite confidently moving forward in my personal development. I’ll speak about that sometime next week. It was good stuff.

So anyhoo - I just wanted to check in.  I have been reading folks as always and I gotta go back and comment on some stuff cause ya’ll a wild bunch, lol
