The After Party

I got nothing. Have a great long weekend. Be smart. Be careful. Oh and yes, I am working on moving this little piece of blog someplace else. I’ve just been crazy busy. Apparently, being jobless and schoolless really hasn’t given me much extra time.

I’ve officially been unemployed for all of TWO weeks! For me, when I get bored with work, I look for something new. This means I’ve never had the same job for more than 2.5 years. And I’m OK with that because each job has pushed me to learn more and earn more. I know people have had jobs with the same company for decades. These people are my parents’ age. Though I do have a couple friends who’ve been with the same company for nearly ten years. They are few and far between. (more…)

What do y’all consider a good mommy?? I know all types of mothers. I usually stay clear of calling them good or bad because they are functioning the best they can…Right? But y’all? I know y’all don’t know these people. (more…)

Today will be a simple post. No tributes to anyone who died. I just want to ask a question. (more…)

I’m sitting here watching the Real HWs of NJ reunion. They just had an exchange about Caroline doting on her kids. Or more specifically, waiting on the sons hand and foot. Someone wrote in asking if she expects them to marry women who treat them the way she did. She skirted the question saying her moments with them are few and so she delights in caring for them. Then Danielle, who I hate, broke in and actually made a good point: What the hell is wrong with a mother caring for her sons and the sons getting wives that care for them the same way? Caroline slid in the note that her husband takes care of her like a princess so of course she takes care of him. Again I wonder what’s so wrong with that? (more…)

As I’ve gotten older, I have started to enjoy hosting friends more. I am not particularly fond of guests bringing food. Drinks, sure. Food, notsomuch. I guess I get that from my momma. When new people come over, I like for them to offer to help me if I’m still in the kitchen. I won’t accept their offer, but they should offer. And typically, especially when I’m one of the first to arrive and if I don’t know the host and hostess very well, I offer to help. And no, it’s not kissing up. It’s good home training. And it starts you down the road of likability much quicker than just sitting around not attempting to earn your keep. (more…)

I don’t usually talk to specifically about my dating, right? I keep it general. Well something happened in the last few days that I want to share. I’ve gone out with three guys on four dates in the last five days. I’m typically not the type to date multiple men. And I don’t think what I’m doing is really dating all three. I went out on dates. Dating, IMO, requires more consistency. But all of them left me with what I think is unlimited fodder. WE shall start with the worst of the three. (more…)

A dear LS was featured in Black Enterprise a few years ago. All the girls gathered at her house after work to pull together her wardrobe for her photo shoot. After it was done, I ended up going to meet FL (yes, the same FL from my first blog) for a drink. His BFF was also there. We’re sitting there at a random bar at a random apostrophe ’s’ spot. His BFF gets a phone call and steps out to take it. About 30 seconds later, FL gets up to go to the restroom. He left all his stuff there on the bar. And it’s probably like a Tuesday so the bar is pretty empty. Yet, it’s clear that he’s coming back. (more…)

I need a cheap place to host my next blog. I was gonna use WordPress but then realized that after I paid $15, I still couldn’t edit the html and upload a theme I’ve been wanting to use. Duh, so how dumb did I feel? I bet they get a lot of people that way. They know we don’t read! Soooo, give me some options. I must be able to upload a NEW theme and edit the html. (more…)

As a couple of you already know, my last class ended. I am psyched. I will have so much free time who knows what tom-foolery and devil’s workshopery community service projects I can participate in. (more…)
