#NeverForget

We must never forget this day. The day everything stood still. The day we as a country seemed so small. The day when political affiliation, race, sexual orientation didn't matter; everyone was just Americans. We mourned together as one, we were somber but united. Whether you were a fan of President Bush or not, we …

Things NOT to Say to a Pregnant Woman

I got it with my pregnancies with Avah and Ayden. So of course, I'm getting it now with AJ. Difference is I was younger and bit nicer with those pregnancies. I'm not as young and damn sure not as nice. I understand people run out of shit to say. I mean sure the courteous thing …

My Dormant Blog

So my blog has been dormant for quite sometime. Here I am checking in only to see my last blog written was what I was thankful for last year around this time. Also, found out that I had started a 'Cheers to 2015' blog for New Years Eve last year, only to save it as a …

What I’m Thankful For in 2015

Well this year has passed by in a nanosecond! Here we are the day before Thanksgiving. Publix is a cluster F%*&. My emails are bombarded with Black Friday deal teasers and this year, due to my complete insanity and quest for home ownership I now am working a second job IN RETAIL. HELP ME! As …

It’s been far to long….

Oh my poor little blog. I have neglected you but like some say, 'life happens'. I've been so busy with everything on my plate it was hard to find the time to write anything down. On my last blog post I was ringing in the new year excited and ready to take on 2013. As …

Steel Magnolias Remake: Good but not the original

Last night, Lifetime debut its highly anticipated remake of the 1989 classic, Steel Magnolias. As some have called it the ‘African American’ version, whatever version you choose to call it, it was an overall good remake. Yes all the main characters were represented and portrayed by some of the best African American actresses, but the …

As summer comes to an end…

    This summer has flown by. Phew! In an exasperated nano-second my ‘relaxing’ summer, that included no college courses for the first time in three years, was over before it started. Perhaps I should have taken a class or two, then it would seem like time was standing still. As I sit back now and …

Proposition 8 not the only thing unconstitutional!

Proposition 8 founded to be unconstitutional...well Duh! What astounds me at times is how this country was founded and based on freedom and rights to its citizens. Yet minorities had to fight for equal rights, women had to fight for equal rights and still even today we have equal rights issues for Gays and Lesbians. To me, as a …

This year’s Halftime Show was ‘Like a Prayer’

Though admittedly I did not watch the Halftime show live, I woke up Monday morning reading everyone's reaction to the show and thought I better watch for myself and see. Thank goodness for Youtube right? Now let me begin by saying the last halftime show I remember watching and actually enjoying was the one here in …
