Man I tell you. This weekend went by sooo fast. I got a lot of stuff done. I was able to get a dress I needed. Praise be to Ann Taylor cus she always helps me out in a pinch. Whew. Now that the weekend is over, I can reflect on some revelations I had. I could be a Stepford Wife. Yep. So easily. I could wear those dresses and pearls everyday! I could clean in heels! I could bake cupcakes from scratch every Wednesday. I could send my husband off to work in the city everyday. I could volunteer.

I didn’t see Tyler Perry’s new movie. It makes me giggle to know Monica and Sissy spent real money and went. LOL Not only did they go, so did NikiLoveli.

On our first date, she met me at a restaurant in Georgetown where venison and pinot noir were to be had and I was falling head over heels for her with every step we took back to her car. (more…)

Ed. Note: In the comments we have discussed the ‘whys’. but if those are the reason people wind up in the system, what can we (individuals, communites, gov’t) do to interrupt the ‘whys’ leading to the not so positive results?
I’m willing to bet there are some little boys in high school named Arsenio. I bet you there are! Remember how he user to put his freakishly long finger to his head and say, “Humh?” Well I have a Humh moment today. Yes, I know I promised myself and all things good and honest that I would not even bother listening to the radio anymore on my way to and from work. But I got caught up y’all. But since I know I have intelligent readers, I’m going to see if we can solve one of the societal problems bringing down America. M’kay. (more…)

First, I just have to call Nikilovli out because she was supposed to guest blog on this topic. But see, she flaked. So here goes my take.

I don’t pay much attention to forwarded emails. In fact, I hate them and if you send them to me and they aren’t true AND funny, I will hunt you down, skin you alive, and make your mother watch! M’kay. Apparently, there’s an email going around calling for a boycott of Arizon Southern Style Sweet Tea because the picture on the container is, as the alleged author put it:

‘Arizona ‘ has a flavor known as ‘Southern Style Sweet Tea’ but if you
