Dad

This is the picture of a man who was on cloud 109. I went home this weekend for my great uncle's funeral as well as my aunt's retirement party. Over the past few years my dad and I haven't been the best of friends but this weekend was different. I go home as often as I can but when I'm there I usually stay with aunts or my cousin. This time around B and I stayed with my dad, partly because my sister-in-law was there and she understands the riff between me and my dad. My dad literally glowed the entire weekend while having us there. We had a great time at the party and the next day left me wondering. Wondering if after everyone was gone would the awkwardness resume. To much surprise, it was a great day. A blessed day. A day that marked the beginning. Life is extremely too short and I think after so may failed attempts of trying to make our relationship work, this time around is not a fluke. We watched football, talked about some family business where my brother was at one time the go between, and I fixed his screen saver because in spite of, I've always been my dad's personal Geek Squad. He even lured Brandon outside away from Cartoon Network.

As the day wound down I was getting ready to head home. It was hard to say goodbye because I knew it was even harder for my dad to see us leave. So as Brandon and I sit in the car saying our goodbye's, my dad tells me to call and let him know I made it home safely(something he has NEVER suggested). As I take the 50 mile drive back home I reflect on the weekend. Truly what a difference a day makes. I feel we came to a resolution without hanging the past over or heads or even saying sorry. Yes the funeral was a somber moment but I had a wonderful weekend amongst so much love and it all really topped off the happiness I have been experiencing the past few months. Once I got home and settled I called my dad to let him know we'd made it. It wasn't a long conversation but he told me to keep in touch. I will daddy, I will.

Summer Finale

Today was an interesting week 3 of football but I enjoyed it. I've even been thinking about trying my hand at a little fantasy football before it's too late in the season. The Cowboys and Packers are playing now and I would personally rather stand in a corner and watch paint dry as I don't care for either team. Here's my thoughts on today's games:

Chiefs v Falcons
I'm still stunned by the dirty birds. 38-14. Really?
That Roddy White catch for a 70-yard run was awesome!
Might have to make the 2hr drive to the Dome and catch a game....

Miami v New England
Ronnie Brown, Ronnie Brown, Ronnie Brown
Let's remember where he came from
War Eagle!!!!!!

Tampa Bay v Chicago
My team pulled through with an OT win!
That's why they're NFC South champs ;D
Saints v Broncos
Love the Saints and Drew Breezy!!!
Gramatica how do you miss 2 field goals?!
Really not happy Denver is 3-0

Washington v Arizona
Arizona got their first "L" compliments of the Skins!
And another Auburn Tiger led his team to victory

I enjoyed my day of flipping back and forth through channels but I'm a little sad to know that when I wake up tomorrow morning in will be Fall. Summer's over *sigh*

Chillaxin

Today I contributed nothing to society which for me was great. I had an off day and a quiet household so I took all the advantage.

• I challenged myself on the treadmill this morning and pushed myself through a new discipline. Yay me!
• I watched a little television and read the newest issue of "Women's Health".
• Downloaded Raphael Saadiq's latest CD

See, pointless, uneventful happenings. My phone hasn't rung all day....wonderful! I also tried my best to pimp my brother into taking me to the Redskins/Giants game during my trip to DMV for Thanksgiving. His response:

Football game n the winter n DC....heck no.

Wizards game in November...heck ya

He's such a punk. Football isn't football if it's not in the cold! And for that being my first live NFL experience, what better game than the Skins v. Giants?! I already know that his text was a guaranteed no so I shoot my favorite cousin a text and he gave me all the cons, mainly cold weather, but said he'd take me. SCORE! For the fun of it I checked the Wizards schedule and what do we have here....? Wizards vs. Hawks, November 29th. I'm pushing for courtside ;D Latta!

"I Gotta Get Fly For School"

I'm winding down for the night and I here this from the bathroom door:

"I gotta get fly for school!"

Why at 8 years old do you have to get "fly" for school?! Especially when you wear a uniform! I'm not ready for this"lil girl" era and I already know that's what it's the beginning of. Last week I was told, "this girl in class keeps staring at me". I tackled that one well while gripping the steering wheel. Then earlier in the week I was randomly told about two new girls in the class. At any rate I documented what it takes to get fly in Brandon Mooney's world. Gotta make em' "sea sick" with the waves I guess...

LAWD!

From Afar

Have you ever admired someone from afar and wanted to tell them? I have guy friends who's opinions I've sought on the matter and 1/2 say don't say anything and the other 1/2 say they like aggressive women which leaves me confused. But women are the complicated ones...hmph. So what is it fellas?!
I am the type of girl that lives life for the moment so if I say it, it's done with no regrets. My theory is the other person would never know unless you speak your mind and say so. You never know what that person may be feeling or thinking and not express. I think we've all debated, "what if he/she has someone?", "what if they're not feeling me like that?", "what if they don't want the same thing I want?". What if, what if, what if.... Now there was a time when I was overly aggressive and I had to step back and realize you can never force yourself on a person. At one time I had a couple of really great guys come my way and didn't react and missed out. I guess my aggressiveness surfaced from missing out on those opportunities but I had to tone that down. But as I got older I lived and learned and came to realize that what's meant to be will be.
On the other end of the totem pole, I have a friend who is so against a woman approaching a guy. He says the guy should be the hunter and that when a woman approaches a guy she comes across as easy. Needless to say we've had countless debates on the subject matter. But it is said that men like a chase right? I'm just trying to put love and life into perspective. I wonder will I ever not be so selfish and stop basking in my own self happiness in order to experience the ins and outs of love? If I find that David Oliver-esque guy,or D.O. himself(lol), then sure. Because we all know I think highly of a brother. ;D

If you admire somebody You should gone head, tell em
People never get the flowers While they can still smell em

vacay .

I'm a travel whore and I LOVE to stay on the go. Everybody's been been asking what's wrong with me because I've been pretty still this Summer. I don't like traveling alone but I may have too. As much as possible I like to invite the homies but there are schedule conflicts with work, timing, finances, all that good stuff. I have a homeboy I could call who's always down to ride when he's not on call at work but I have to sign a waiver not to take pictures of him because he doesn't want to end up, "all over MySpace or Facebook" . And even still I'm limited to a two shot minimum of myself. Two shots the whole weekend??? Come on!!!!! Next to being a travel whore, I'm a photo whore....lol. Pictures document a lifetime of memories and how dare I get a limit....gggrrr. My best chica is in the "A" this weekend topping off her bday.

So I'm in search of the perfect travel friend(lol). Somebody who loves sun and sand and is aware that tan lines are not an option . A person who can listen to the calm waves all day and not speak a word. A being who's always down to roll time wise and financially. Wouldn't that be in the perfect world?! My body and mind are screaming for some serious R&R right now. My first pick is the beach, anybody's beach, hurricane season and all. I wanted to shed a tear a few Sunday's ago when my auntie asked me had I been back to the beach. I haven't been since May and last year this time I was 4 or 5 trips deep. My Summer glow is fading and I refuse to let Fall get the best of me. My next choice would be DC or New York. I'm a country girl who loves the public transportation and the fast pace. I feel like I fit in so well(lol). They are also two of my favorite major cities. My third choice would be the islands or Europe. Its been painstakingly slow at work so this month would be the perfect time. October is a blackout month but you can best believe if I get an opportunity then I'm going to take it! I guess until I find that perfect travel companion, I'll settle for a city I've already ventured to were photos aren't necessary and I can afford to travel alone, just enjoying the city with a new eye. I would just enjoy the rest and relaxation that I so desperately need :(

I Just Want My Fuze

I've been over the rising price of gas ever since it started rising. I fill up and deal with the price later. After all, I do have to get B to school, go to work, etc. So yesterday afternoon I was in the gas station amongst the panic(Ike Spike)of $4 a gallon gas. I was in line to purchase a Fuze. I got gas earlier in the week because I needed it with no idea T.G.I.F was gonna be like this. So the attendant and owner of the store was telling this guy that he had to prepay for his gas because he had been dealing with drive offs. The guy gives his credit card and tells the attendant he doesn't know how much he wants but he would leave his credit card there. If I'm on half a tank I can pretty much guess how much it will take to top me off and this guy in his Silverado at half a tank had no earthly idea how much he needed. *blank stare* I just want my Fuze...The attendant then says he has to leave his driver's license along with the credit card. Which from his perspective I can understand because there may not have been 2 cents on the card. So the guys mumbles, "I'm not a thug, I just want some gas. My credit card is worth more than my damn license" You're not a THUG? That could be translated in so many ways but only one way in the gas station with a barber shop on one side and adjacent to a "Wings & Thangs" eatery. Yea. The man that was behind me made a comment that I guess was suppose to get my sista gul, "ooohhh no he didn't" side out. Again, I don't rant and rave about gas prices, I just fill up AND I just want my Fuze... So he throws the driver's license on the counter and heads out the door. Now, as a person who works in retail nothing urks me more than having someone toss a card or place their money on the counter. Especially when I have my hand out as the attendant did. So once the man walks out the door all the people who were agitated by the, "I'm not a thug" comment begin their rants. The attendant starts talking about all his drive offs. Someone else talks about Governor Riley said this on the news, behind me someone echos "Bush needs to be shame...", Obama this, McCain that. Uuuhhhhggggggg!!!! I just want my Fuze...So FINALLY it's my turn and I pay for my drink. As I walk out the door the man is still pumping and I wonder, "why didn't he just swipe at the pump?!"

F-A-B-O

The party was wonderful despite my reservations. I turned on the laid back fab and headed out the door. The location was great and the food was awesome. I love small quaint hideaways which The Olive Room was. My girl looked beautiful as always. M.A.C did a bangin job on her makeup! The birthday girl even got serenaded by a stranger who offered to buy all of us dinner there next month. I love working the damsel(lol)! I had a Summer salad and a glass of white Zin. I am so proud of myself for sticking to this diet thing. I'm getting so fabulous so quickly turns out no "sucking in" was needed. Josh, our waiter, tried his best to tempt us with dessert but he was unsuccessful. He was a great waiter though and I tipped him on top of his already added gratuity.

After dinner Chandi decided she wanted to make a loop through The Boardroom, our usual hangout. So I followed her there and as soon as we opened the door the hater stares commenced. I worked my little black number and she worked her little blue number. Hi Haters!!! Some women have yet to learn that the stares only heighten the cockiness. Of course the regulars wanted to know what had us out and about all dressed up. So the occasion won Chandi a glass of wine and me an offer that I passed on. I was ready to tap out after that first glass at the restaurant! The fabulousness of it all is now on simmer as my day winds down. People are around here panicking about gas as it is now $4 a gallon. Tonight I have a date with me and my thoughts♥

We Gonna Party Like It's Your Birthday

This month is the month of birthday's for a lot of my friend's. I BB'd my sister-in-law's nephew yesterday. I just left a belated birthday message for a friend apologizing for being a complete ass for forgetting hers yesterday. Tonight I've been summonsed to dinner for another bestie. This afternoon I'm honestly not in the mood to do makeup, do hair, suck this in, push that out. My spirit is there simply because we haven't hung out in a minute but my body is screaming "rest". I really want to just chill with my thoughts. I love my girl to pieces so of course I'm going. Plus she hung with me for my birthday a couple of months ago.

I'm also the sentimental gift giver and I can't wait to see her face when she gets her gift. She's such a diva and I know she'll love it! Last year I put together a scrapbook chronicling our Summer. It didn't come out the way I thought it would but she loved it. And what was suppose to be a huge all girl get-a-way ended up being a road trip with just the two of us having a ball in Panama City.
So I'm preparing myself mentally, I guess I need to go get ready...Later!

Yada, Yada

This morning I was on the treadmill and my BlackBerry pings. So before I go hard I decide to see who it was. As I look at my Yahoo and see the ID, "Don't You Know" by Jeezy plays over my iPod. "I don't know you, I don't know you....." rings out. Only I know this is a random dude I haven't spoken to in months and Sunday's. Uuggghhh!
Him:So u act like u don't know nobody anymore
Here we go...
Me: ? Who's this.....
I love to play the "who's this" game when there's an appropriate time for it to be played.
Him: Is this Eb Mooney?
Wait a minute...I ask the questions around here. Especially when the smiley face isn't lit up indicating you're on my list.
Me:Yes
Him: Ok then. It's Hollywood....
Blah, blah, smart ass comment, and more blah.
Him:So u have a bad problem of not speaking
Hhhmmm....I know the exact instance he is speaking of because he was in Wal-Mart with his chick. His "change my status to married on Facebook when I'm really not" girlfriend(that kinda mess is hilarious to me). Wifey. Me and this guy have no romantic history but he was at one time trying to holla. I wasn't into him like that but he was cool to hold conversations with. Over the phone cause in person he was an octopus and it wasn't that type of party for me. Then pops up girlfriend, sorry wifey, who was cool with octopus man so be happy and don't worry how E is doing on any level.I don't know homegirl from Adam so normally when I see a guy with his girl, unless I know her, I don't speak. Keeps down the eye rolling and hip shifts. I did however smile at him which in my book says hello enough without words. Plus, he didn't exactly go out of his way to say hello or pull me over for an intro. You're in romantic bliss...why let Eb ruin it for you?! Up until this morning I hadn't communicated with him in almost a year. If you've read my previous post you'll realize I have no problem letting go. I'm not at all trippin about him and his chick but his intentions for my well being were in the wrong pocket.

And in unrelated news....

Sunday Serena nailed her 3rd U.S. Open! It was an awesome meet to watch after all the football openers so congrats Serena!

Ping me!

Bored out of my mind @ work :( HELP BB users! Lol 24444043

Dear Momma

My mom taught me so much through the years and even at 32, I wish she was here to continue her teachings. The unconditional love that she gave to me is the same love I give to B. As a single mother raising a son, I know my journey is only beginning but even with facing the road ahead I move forward with the strength that was given to me by her. Also the parental advice.
I was the baby in the family, my brother and I being ten years apart. My dad was in the Army but by the time I was born they were settled. I remember it being me, my mom, and my brother while my dad was stationed in Korea. At that age I knew nothing about maintaining a household and bills, etc. My mom hadn't worked at that point for four or five years. All I remember is having the best from JCPenny for back to school, birthdays were awesome, and receiving everything I asked Santa for for Christmas. I look back now and realize that it took strength to raise two kids and maintain a household for the years she did. She truly held it down. As I grew up my mother would remind me of those days and tell me stories of when she was growing up because of her 5 siblings she was the oldest. Again she exemplified her strength as did my grandmother having to raise six children alone.I only pray B remembers these days because they make you an even better parent.
As I've grown into an adult and became a mother my strength continues to grow day by day. All I know is how to walk by faith and continually trust in God. Some may mistake it for being nonchalant but why worry about the circumstance you can't control? I've been near eviction, lights almost off, feeding me and a child with my last $5. Notice I used words like near and almost because God's grace got me what I needed. So I live life not worrying how many friends I have but cherishing the few true friendships I have. I'm not obsessed with my looks. I wasn't born flawless and my goal to tone is for personal gratification, not vanity. I maintain my inner beauty more than my outer. I don't obsess over being in a relationship. There are days that I do hate being alone and would love the affection, but I love the days I have time to myself. The boyfriend will come one day complete with happiness, romance, and respect. I am not a kept woman or high maintenance but like I stated earlier, I got it all as a child. I get it now on my own, God knows his child is grade A and doesn't deserve trife, misery, and disrespect. Plus I want someone that I can laugh with and lay around in bed all day and it not be about sex. I take advantage of every day I wake and able to add a chronicle to my life. As much as I miss my mother, I am happy to know I can walk with my head high possessing her beauty and strength. I am so fearless!
~Love is, above all, the gift of oneself~

Ode to Oliver♥

Yes he's absolutely gorgeous with that alluring smile, body of a Greek God and DIMPLES! He recently proved to be one of the best athletes in the world by winning a medal in the Men's 100m hurdles at the Olympics. He's not a household name like Kobe Bryant, Reggie Bush, or Lebron James. But thank God I got off work early and had a little interest in what was going on at the Olympics because that night I discovered my new athletic heartthrob David Oliver.Yes, he has oust Dwayne Wade! Hail to "The King"! I like track and field, thought about participating in high school, but I honestly don't follow it like football. So naturally after discovering this athlete I went to my favorite investigating spot...Wikipedia! Your somebody when you have a Wikipedia article....come on. Read an article here, an article there, and then ran across the link for his blog. This blog amazes me because it is SO descriptive. It's like missing your favorite TV show for a few episodes and being able to pick right back up on it. I felt like I was front row center in Beijing. You learn that Paris is his favorite European city, how he prepares for a race, he lives for the Miami Dolphins and fantasy football,
he loves his Blackberry as many BB owners do, and that "you will never hear of D.O. having missed meal cramps". What you also unconsciously learn is that this is an amazing human being! He has a huge love for kids, he appreciates his fans, and his career path is shadowing that of his mom. I love reading the blog of this fearless man getting to know him more day by day. Now if we could only get our guy to remember to pull the digital camera out. :) Unlike a lot of our black athletes, his career isn't filled with drug charges, DUI's, or baby momma drama. Google him baby! Men(no homo,lol) and women admire him alike. This man of great character(and I'm certain integrity) is who we should encourage our younger generation to look up to. Continue your fab David and God bless♥

T.G.I.FINALLY!

Today was nothing short of a great day. Work went smoothly and I'm finally off! B's godfather called me today and wanted him to visit for the weekend so it's even better to come home to peace and quiet. I ran into an old flame today who left for Korea a year ago. It was good to see him and know that he's doing okay but I wasn't as excited as I guess I shoulda been. We haven't communicated in any way since he's been gone. "I just got back yesterday." How convenient for me. "I'm having a party tonight at Ikonz." Great.*side eye* Needless to say, I'll be one less on the guest list. I haven't been out anywhere since my birthday back in July and that wasn't even out to a club. Dinner and drinks with friends. I haven't had the desire to go out and see the same faces nor pay the $15-20 cover to do so. There are only a couple of people that can talk me into dressing up and dealing with the hater stare tonight. And no sooner than I type this my bestie BB messengers me.... After coming to the realization we're both tired she gives me this:"Yea but I keep movin shawty...goin to Ikonz, will I see ya there?" Tonight I really think it's gonna be me, sushi, and wine in bed watching movies.

Sugar, Sugar

As I continue on my mission to a leaner and toner body, I have decided to cut down on the sweets. I type this as an impulse shopping bag of peach rings sit on my kitchen counter.
It actually hasn't been as bad as I thought. I've never been an obsessive sugar freak but I have my objects of affection like Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie, soda, and Chick-Fil A sweet tea. OMG! Chick-Fil A sweet tea is the absolute best! But I haven't had one in over a week which is awesome for me because the food court is adjacent to my store. I've opted for water a lot more these past couple of weeks and my skin has reaped the benefits.

I've been doing well with the lifestyle change. I am on day four of my body cleanse, I've been sticking to my workouts, and I'm eating the right things. Limiting not only sugar but salt also, even though I never was one to add table salt to anything. Brandon and I went grocery shopping yesterday and loaded up on fruits and veggies. A lot of easy to prepare breakfast foods so I can grab and go and stay out of the food court in the morning. Chickn Minis are the devil! Of course I had to get B's impulse snacks; Doritos, Lucky Charms, Capri Sun, whole milk for the Lucky Charms. I prefer soy milk and he hates it. I'm also trying to watch the calories and the worst is my Syntha-6 protein post workout. 200 calories per 1 scoop but 23g of protein. I'm bad because I preach about how you take protein for results and not taste and here I am with this high cal stuff. I even ventured out and made a smoothie. Protein, soy milk, mixed berries, flax,yogurt, and ice. It was yummy and filling. I'm really thinking about adding Pilate's to my program.

Below are ladies that inspire:

Allyson Felix

Fergie

And of course who isn't inspired by Beyonce

I'm open to any and all suggestions with help on reaching my goal. :)

u too cute to be stuck up

Social websites are so amusing. I use them mainly to communicate with friends in Iraq and old friends that I don't talk to on a regular basis. And when I say regular basis I mean months and Sundays. My networks of choice: MySpace and Facebook. So one day in a random act of boredom, I decided to try out BlackPlanet. I enjoy meeting new people just as much as the next person but I should have known better. As I stated earlier, I have pages on these sites as a means of keeping in touch. I'm not denouncing finding love over the net but that's not my purpose and I stated that on BP:
"Thanks or viewing my page. I'm here just because...I'm not looking for a man, "friend", or anything of the like so please don't send your phone number or offer a plane ticket, not interested....." Blah, blah, blah. Hit submit and viola!
I don't feel I should have to state to a grown man not to approach me with "hey baby", "what's up boo", "damn sexy", or any of that other foolishness. I've learned that it's a waste of time when you do anyway. A gentleman, an intelligent man knows how to respect a lady and knows how to peek her interest with just the right words. All that other foolery is reminiscent of the man in the club with the body shirt and the gold tooth that insist on a dance or buying you a drink. Not a good look. To me "boo" is a term of endearment and only my man could turn me on with that one.

Age:30
Subject: HI BABY
I HAVE SEEN YOU A FEW TIMES OUT AND ABOUT BUT WE'VE NEVER SPOKEN TO EACH OTHER. I ALWAYS WANTED TO GET TO KNOW YOU BUT THE TIMING WAS ALWAYS OFF. BUT NOW IS MY CHANCE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I THINK YOU ARE SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL TO ME AND I HOPE TO HAVE A LONG FRIENDSHIP WITH YOU AND HOPEFULLY MORE. MY NAME IS KELDRICK AND I HAVE READ YOUR PROFILE AND FOR THE RECORD I AM (FAR) FROM BEING DESPERATE BUT I DEFINETLY WANNA HEAR YOUR VOICE. HIT ME UP AT 334-318-**** . FOR SO LONG I HAVE WAITED FOR MY QUEEN AND I WISH THAT IT WILL BE YOU.

Eyes rolling b/c Keldrick missed the memo

1. As a professional I can't STAND for people to type in all caps....uuuhhh
2. If you've seen me a few times & so desperately long for my companionship how about we say hello, eh?!
3. Didn't I say I wasn't here for romance???

Five days later, after continuous emails my response:
I'm rarely on this site and when I am it's for a second or two. Unfortunately if you are looking for something outside of BP, I'm not interested...sorry.

------ Original note ------
Subject: hello
i have been trying to get in touch with you for the last 3 days because i really wanted to get to know you, if i am wasting my time and yours please let me know! hit me up babygirl !

Did this dude not realize this 2 or 3 days prior?! I try so hard to be nice but when you don't take use of the fundamentals of reading how can I? Telling me how beautiful, sexy, or gorgeous I am is not gonna get you a Fed Ex response. I know my beauty whether it's acknowledged by you or not!
Then we have example #2. Someone over at BP decided to add the IM feature to their network. So belizean_heartthrob thought he'd drop me an IM(or 3):

This IM was sent while you were away:
* hello
* come on now u say u is fearless now dont be scardddd
* say somthing u too cute to be stuck up
"U is..." Really? This is the kind of madness that I must deal with in today's society? The gentlemen of the world must act with a sense of urgency. Don't let your fellow brother continue on with this! I'm starting to believe that chivalry is so, so dead. Oooohhh, an email just came across. Subject: What's up sexy
*sigh*

Must see TV

So a week later my iPod is on sale at Target. I went bright and early to get my $9 price adjustment. I used my iTunes giftcard to load my two fave shows And life is good again.

I was off Wednesday and I caught the new 90210. I'll have to watch a few more episodes but it's okay. The verdicts still out. Well it's 2am and I have to be at work at 930am and I'm planning on getting a workout in. We'll see how much of a success that's gonna be. As you get ready for your day don't forget to "smile with your eyes" and prepare for tonight's episode of ANTM :)
Enjoy your day♥

Crackberry Addict

I've read a few blogs and been on several social sites and I am happy to know that I am not alone in my addiction with the Blackberry. Does RIM know the monster they've created?! Without it I feel like a piece of me is missing(i.e.vital organ). I have a friend who always talks about me and me companion. He says he often wonders would I be able to breathe without it because I'm, "always pecking on that keyboard". If you have one you know the feeling. Me and my bestie BB messenger more than we speak words. It comes in handy in the club(lol). I hardly ever talk on the phone, texting is my communication of choice. I've heard Blackberry's have broken happy homes but my man would be guaranteed a text or two,or three on the daily. Maybe even a few naughties.

I am by no means a "baller" as a lot of my friends think since I own one nor do I have a job that would require me to have a phone as such, I just love technology and since my first one(Nextel BB7520) I know no other phone. I currently have the Pearl but am thinking about upgrading to the Curve. I almost crossed over to the dark side considering other smartphones but I'm too sold on the things my phone can do.Through the years the Blackberry has only gotten better for me. Who cares about Windows when you can listen to XM radio(through my bluetooth), BB and Yahoo messenger, remember bdays, check Facebook, never get lost with Google Maps AND use the phone as a modem. Pure bliss. Then you have cute colorful skins, Dooney&Burke makes a wristlet, and you can change the trackball color when you feel like it....aahh. So when the day comes someone starts a Blackberry anonymous. I'll be there front row center.

Cash Your Checks & Come On...

September 1st...Happy Labor Day(as I labor). Nothing truly eventful has gone on these past few days. Life has been well. I've just been so occupied with work that by the time I get home its a wrap! I'm actually at work now....mad as hell that I'm missing "Gossip Girl" AND "One Tree Hill" season premiers. Hopefully I can catch them on iTunes. Grrr.... Other than football, I'm not a big TV watcher so missing my shows kinda has me feeling "some type of way"(lol). Don't wanna chat much today about muscle mass, the best nitric oxide, multi-vitamins or how to get rid of "alla dis". If you're JLn'(just looking) you gets the gas face today because I'm in hustle mode and its all about the guap today. The beginning of the month is always a busy time for me because its Gold Card week and on top of everything else the "goons" gotta get clean before they go see their P.O. The positive is the moola $! So I deal with that ignorance to make the cash. Yesterday I played nice, customer- friendly manager. I had a customer walk in and I went over and gave my spill. Here was the dialogue:

Me: What brings you in today?

Him: Just looking

Me: Well if you have any questions about anything please feel free....
Him: Thank You
Me: Also while you looking, behind you is a clearance section with some great deals.
Him: Thanks for the commercial....

WTF?! Obviously this asshole has never been in a store with any sort of customer service. I just walked away. I'm a sinner, not a saint so he was about to get a mouth full but it was the Lord's day and that's who I handed him over to. >:)


I'm elated because it is college football season!!!! YAY! I'm a southern belle so all I know is SEC football. My team Auburn pulled out a win over LA-Monroe 34-0 on Saturday! :) The offense sucked this game but that defense.....that defense was a BEAST! I look forward to watching my Tigers play especially during the Iron Bowl(vs Alabama). Its all the state of Alabama knows this time of year! War Eagle!!!!!!!!!!
