Oh It's The Lights...

Saturday, December 18, the kiddies, Otis, and I went driving through a local park to view the Festival of Lights.  We haven't been in a long time, so it was fun...for a while.  The kids argued about something, I can't remember.  The only "person" on their best behavior was my man Otis.  It was damn near two degrees outside, but...

Mixing Things Up

(Jacket and shirt are thrifted; Shorts from Target; Shoes are Audrey Brooks, from DSW) This may look a wee bit off, but I promise, the color coordination is all there.  I'm not really happy with the fit of my shorts, but I'm totally in love with them.  Who doesn't love a wool short?  WHO? Best of all, I love the details of the inside. ...

Brown, Black, and Blue

Yesterday sucked colorful balls.  I really don't like to argue, but it seems I've been doing it waaaaay more than I should.  That all changes now.  Phuck January 1st.  I'm resolving to be the bigger person and let shyt go, ta hell if it wants.  I just wanna hear "Don't Worry, Be Happy" every day and until I truly feel it. ...

Orange You Glad It's Hump Day?

(orange top, grey asymmetric skirt, and "gold" earrings - thrift store;tights - IDK; shoes - Carlos Santana) I'm pretty proud of my gear these days.  You can tell, based on my tweets, if you follow me.  I'm constantly twitpicing myself, so I've decided to do it here.  A more proper forum.  My blog.  (Cue Mya's "All...

Censorship

Dear Visitor, Some people think I'm way too cute to have such a foul mouth.  I admit that I curse quite a bit.  I've been known to blow bubbles when I speak, what with all the soap in my mouth.  Earlier today I edited one of my posts and tweets and tried to remove the profanity.  It was an epic fail.  I'm really okay with who I am and what I say, so to anyone who thinks I'm way too cute to have such a foul mouth, please...

The Godfather

I think it's on my profile, but let me state for the record that I'm a Washington, DC native.  No, I didn't briefly live there and claim the city.  I was born and raised in the District of Columbia.  Only true natives like moi can understand the importance of this distinction.  So many people will rep DC (sometimes referred to as Chocolate City), but they know they shouldn't 'cause more often than not, they...

No Uterus = Sexiness

Apparently having my uterus removed is an asset in the dating world.  Here I am thinking "Woe is me.  I'm divorced, with two old ass kids with no man."  Well, I'm surprised to find out, I got one up on these chicks out here.  After years of pain, when I was 26, I made the decision to get a hysterectomy.  The surgical procedure...

I.S.O.

For fucksake, shits, and giggles, I'm gonna randomly share what I googled, during the day.  It's really funny to see.  Today, here's what I just had to find: GS Boyz - I was looking up these fellas, cuz I've been listening to music all day.  They came up with the stupid club hit Stanky Leg.  Curios, I wondered if they'd had any other hits.  Nope. I'm Doing Me lyrics - Fantasia's song was on and there was a part that I couldn't...

Most Assuredly

One of my twitterbuds tweeted a quote from Ms. Zsa Zsa Gabor.  It reads "You never really know a man until you have divorced him."  Yes, you can know him well while you're still together and when you're in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship and you've broken up.  But there's something about marriage and divorce that'll show a dude's...

I Wanna Cry Right Now

Picture it (said in Sophia's voice)...you're home alone with your favorite brew or glass of something and you're chilling HARD.  You have the place to yourself with no real responsibilities, but to relax and do you.  You flip channels and maybe a couple of tunes are treating you in the background.  Eventually you're captivated. ...

I'm Whipped

It's no secret that Will's wittle wonder Willow Smith is talented and adorable, but there is something more.  It's beyond what a parent (either hers or I) can recognize and see in a child.  I'm almost always ooohing and ahhhing over some puppy, but it's rare that I get this way about a human, let alone a potentially annoying child.  For some hater-esque reason, I completely disregarded the hoopla surrounding her, until...

The Daily Grind

I'm a tweeter.  I love it.  I think I've had my account since like 08, which is kind of a long time.  I'm not really sure why I'm mentioning this.  Wait, I know why.  It's because early yesterday morning, one of the funniest people I follow on Twitter said it was National Blog Posting Month. The challenge is to write something, anything, every day.  I needed this motivation and decided to have it full.  So here...

I Feel Like Puking

Well, at least that was the overwhelming feeling I had over the weekend.  I went out on Friday night, for homecoming (Goooooo Terps) and did the most.  I had high hopes for celebrating being an alumni from the great University of Maryland, but tuh I foiled those plans...QUICKLY.  At least I had fun, right?  Here's how it all went down: *Friday Showered Poured a glass of wine Sipped aforementioned while applying makeup Got dressed Drove...

It's My Birthday and I Cried Cuz I Wanted To and Had No Phucking Choice

I can't really go into details, but if you're reading this blog you should know the following 10 things: 1.  The smile in this picture is fake and it ain't sexy.  2.  In 2003, my beloved cousin Snowball died two days before my birthday, thus making it the worst birthday ever.  This was a close second.    3. ...

She's Alive!!!

I was quite the social bumblebee this weekend. Wait, it's a butterfly!  I'm going overboard comparing myself to anything or one who fluttered in and out of the DC social scene.  I went out to a god damn happy hour in ANNAPOLIS (the MD state Capitol), on Thursday.  Friday I had dinner and dancing with my girlfriend and her co-workers. ...

Retail Therapy

I purchased this gem, following my aunt’s wake, at a faraway Salvation Army, for a whopping $3.25. My hips and boobies didn’t fathom being draped in it, ‘til now!  A few pounds lighter, this Asian beauty produced such joy when she seamlessly fell over my head and onto my body.  Elated, I failed to notice the side zipper was taut...

AO-247

(previously posted April 09 on my old blog, now updated and tweaked on the new one, ha!) I'm so happy to have Ms. Winfrey back in my life.  For a while, I'd given up on her.  It seemed like her content was fading and wasn't appealing to me at all.  I couldn't relate.  For the last year or so, she's gotten her groove back.  More often than not, I'm actually watching her DVR'd shows instead of pressing "program information"...

Abracadabra

Today is exceptional.  I can't stand my ex.  It burns me up that he can get to me, but such is life.  I know I need to chant more about this, because really and truly and honestly and bluntly and brutally - he's a piece of dog poo.  Not the fresh moist kind.  He's that dried up, been in the sun, turning gray and don't even stank no' mo' poo.  You could step in his kinda poo and never even know it, 'cause it fucking disintegrates...

Hostage

Like all best friends in a circle of four, my best friends and I assigned a character of Sex and The City to each other. Only one of us disagreed, but the rest of us took a liking to and accepted our series persona. You'd have to know me intimately to believe that I'm most like Charlotte. Yes, like her I'm prudish, I (still) believe in love, and I'm the emotional one in the bunch. There was an episode when Samantha discovered that one of her...

New Heights

Yesterday did the most.  I'm all over the web and received some exciting news, like hands shaking, top of the lung screaming news.  I grabbed my cell and called my best friend in the whole wide world.  She's that "ride or die" girlfriend we all need and want in our lives. So, I'm yelling at her and she's yelling at me and I imagined, if the miles weren't so great between us, that we'd be jumping up and down, clinking glasses, and splashing...

Kissing Cousins

I try to be witty and all when I come up with my blog post titles, but there wasn't much I could do with this.  Wait, all of a sudden I see I could have titled my post ANY of the following: All in The Family It's All Relative Blood is Thicker than Water *These all fit and cover like a mug.  Why? Ohhhhh, because a little birdie told me that one of my cousins is married to their distant cousin and they both know it.  Haaaaa!  Think...

Special Delivery

I love family. I love my family. I love spending time with my family. They're fun and funny.   Moments occur over birthday parties and during casual gatherings that stay with me forever.  Things are rarely heavy and when they are, they have the propensity to get light, real quick.  I blame Durrell, James called by his co-workers...

Secret Places

I recognize that my memory fails me a lot.  I'm not sure that it's true what "they" say about remembering what you want to remember. I'm always forgetting something and wishing like hell that I hadn't.  I come up with psychotic little mind tricks to help me sharpen my skills, but I phuck around and forget those too!  When it comes to misplacing items, I'm a genius at it.  I should Google Guinness see if someone holds the title...

Don't Call it a Comeback

(Parental and Christian Advisory) It's been 2 years and 12 days since I stepped out on faith, claiming my independence and entering single life. It's been a journey, but I feel like I've "made it." My life is so peaceful and full and I have a happiness that I never imagined would stem from the dissolution of my marriage. Shit's good. My anger...
