I haven't been here in a hot ass minute. I have got to do better by my blog. Things have been rolling along in my life ever so nicely, but there are other things that are urkin' me...and no place to get them out like your blog.
- Okay...those people who say that there is no racism in the workplace. lemme tell you something, there is. And I have a double whammy, i am not only brown, but I am a woman. A woman who is intelligent and has a handle on the English language. One who has a FOUR year degree from a highly regarded state university. Don't sniff out on me and think because I sit where I sit that ignorance is my thing. My parents spent an AWFUL amount of money to make me into the person I am today. Don't try me...cause in all honesty, I ain't your whipping boy.
- So, I let him back in. I don't usually let men back in after they have gone out. I just can't, but this one. OH MAH GAWD. I let him back in...slowly....on my own terms....on my level. Jesus wept. He is so fine, so articulate, so...chocolate....so....yummy. Okay, I must stop. But he is back...and he is MINES. LOL
- You know I am always amazed at the people who have to convince others that they are a person of positivity. In the words of Fire Marshall Bill...LEMMETELLYOUSOMETHING....when you are positive, it comes out of your pores and you don't have to tell anyone to make them believe it. It is just the way life is and functions.
- The mom is officially retired. LOL It is priceless, but also stressful. I am firm, when God blesses me with this hubby...I need more than one kid. Having all the responsiblities falling on one person is a DOG.
- I am a confirmed Facebook addict. LOL The best thing is I have connected with some REALLY dear friends. One is my friend from high school and another is someone who i have been friends with for TWENTY years. *sigh* Everytime we think of the years we gag. LOL It is so good to be connected again.
- Speaking of friends, I have been doing the washing away the friends right out of my hair again. You know friendship is an equal partnership like any relationship. If I feel that I am pulling you to hang, you don't have to worry, I won't bother you. BUT in return, don't act surprised when I comment on it. I can't stand that phony B.S. Be real...
- Oh another fact for the day....I can't stand liars and bullshit artist. (This is the Jack and Coke talking.)
- Speaking of Jack and Coke...today I went to one of our local Irish Pubs and gotta drink. Well, gotta couple of drinks. I needed it. When I left my office at lunch time I was in a tight place. Tight place where I would cuss yo' ass out. Yes...in ghetto terms. LOL The one thing I realized, drinking at lunch time truly a treat, but also a bad thing. I need a nap and I can't stop laughing like a maniac. LOL So...I guess they will now officially think I am a looney toon. Well...I am. *projectile laughter*
Alright, I have vented some and now....I am going to sit here and chill and read the paper or something...since I don't have ONE piece of music with me to work on. Where in the hayle was my damn head today???
Show us a better way to spend $300 than on the iPhone 3G.
The new MAC makeup collection....any day of the week!!!
Share a song that makes you laugh.
What question do you hate being asked?
I hear it constantly from relatives.....so when are you going to get married and have babies?
Besides my love of perfume and shoes, I have a bad addiction to makeup...mostly eyeshadow and lip gloss. It has been that way as long as I can remember.
In 1998, I was first introduced to Sephora while out on tour in Europe. One day when I had entirely too much time to kill, I ventured over in the Dior makeup section. Bad move. In the twinkle of an eye, I became totally addicted and passionate about Dior lip gloss. Not only was I passionate about the feel and the colors, but also the packaging and smell. (All of that is important if I am going to use it. LOL)
Well, ten years later, I am still addicted to the Dior makeup line.
Yesterday, since I had some play money available, I decided that I could splurge on a couple of small things at Sephora. LOL As usual, I headed over to the Dior display. *singing like a choir of angels* Ahhhhhhh! LOL
Dior Kiss.... what can I say? I am in luuuuuuuuuurv. The texture, the smell and the fact that it plumps my lips (yes, i can afford to use a lip plumper)...perfect. I purchased the Mango Soda, Iced Latte and Berry Smoothie. Yesterday I wore the Mango Soda and a close guy friend said it just made him want to kiss my lips more. *blush*
Go try it for yourself and tell someone to kiss you.

When I first started blogging, I was like a crackhead about reading blogs. In the 4+ years later, I have slacked off of that behavior because I got too much music to learn. LOL
One of my daily reads though is Afrobella. I mean a hip blogger who shares the same birth name, Patrice, I gotta keep up with. LOL
Anyway, I have read Ms. Bella's reports on Mariah Carey's fragrance M. I was like...I know Patrice is having a moment...cause that can not smell like too much of anything. LOL (Sorry.)
Well, last week when I got back from Greece, I decided that I needed a new summer hit. For the past few months, I have been intentionally flying through what I have so I won't feel bad if I buy something new.
This past Tuesday on my lunch break I headed over towards Sephora and tested out the M. It had a nice little smell, but I wasn't totally convinced. I knew the only way to be convinced was to test it out on fresh, unperfumed skin.
My findings after a week of wearing it daily (and if you know me...i rarely wear the same thing 2 days in a row.)....it is the BIGGEST hit. I can't even describe it. Men and women stop me on the train. At church this past Sunday, my friends were sniffing my neck and arms asking me what it was. Generally I don't share what I am wearing, but I have to because the look on their face is priceless when I say.."M, by Mariah Carey."
So, if you are in the market for a nice fragrance, check it out.
