As we approach the New Year…
Best believe my ass is not going to make any resolutions because I know I will not follow through with any.
Ah New Years…Always good for one of my friends to reveal some life altering, mind shattering confession *always a drunken confession* that is sure to shock the alcohol out of us.
Let’s see…there was the year my best friend G revealed he was gay.
…Ok I knew that one. I mean I did walk in on him and some guy. And that guy was giving him some pretty nice mouth service.
I was horrified, I mean who wants to catch any friend in a compromising position, but it sure didn’t stop my pervy ass from looking *lol*
…And asking questions later.
Then there was another time when my friend revealed that the guy who we thought she was pregnant by was indeed not the father. To add to the blow, this was screamed out at a party during a heated argument.
…Boy that was an awkward ride back in the car.
Oh and I can’t forget the classic “I’m cheating on you…with your cousin” confession.
…I almost spilled my drank on that one. Almost. You know I’m not letting a drop of alcohol hit the floor. It doesn’t help that the cousin had a girlfriend at the time that also happened to be at the same party. It was a “two bitches on a side street” slap fest.
…Although I can’t help but wonder if my best friend and I were bad friends because we were hopelessly drunk and egging on the fight from the sidelines. There’s nothing worse than two cackling, drunk bitches hollering shit like, “Girl you’re going to take that…I mean she was sucking your man’s dick?!” while howling with laughter while holding ourselves up to prevent collapsing in the snow.
Clearly my friends and I have the “Jerry Springer/Maury/Ricki Lake” type of drama on New Years.
…Ok well every major holiday since we started sneaking vodka out of our parent’s liquor cabinets at 16.
Ok usually we’re long drunk before midnight but that’s not the point.
Since I’ve recently shunned alcoholic beverages as I’m remaining faithful to my diet/exercise regiment, I don’t know how this New Years will turn out as this will be the first year I’m sober on New Years in a long time.
And yes, I’m still sticking to my diet plan. So far I have lost 10lbs. and about 2 ½ inches from my waist line. I’m working out close to 6 days a week for an hour doing a combination of cardio, elliptical, and abs works *depending on the day* while calorie counting and shunning red meat and the swine.
*sigh* Yes I have joined the world of “turkey bacon”. Those little thin ass strips of meat that you never know when they’re done…since they just lay there all limp and shit. Don’t even crackle or anything. Just lying on the bottom of the pan.
Lord knows I love the swine but I had to give up my ham, bacon and pork chops. I won’t trip on how the pig has never failed me but…*sad wave*
…And it cracks me up to say “swine”. JBN refuses to say “pork” or “pig”, he calls it the “swine”. I’m like, “What the fuck…You Muslim now?” but it cracks me up nonetheless.
And now Pro has added on to my amusing word list with the word "fowl". No longer will I say "chicken" but now "fowl" has entered my vocabulary.
I mean it's not going to stop me from eating it but it gives me a chuckle.
Clearly…I am easily amused.
I can see ’08 being that year for me. Not only am I entering the year with a promotion, putting me a few steps closer to my goal of being a General Manager of a major hotel chain by the time I’m 30, but I’m also getting married.
Who would have thought me of all people as a married woman?
As much as I eye ball the opposite sex...soon I will have a shiny new ring on my finger that will NOT stop men from trying to holler but at least I'm not lying when I now say "I'm married."
And am I wrong for being too eager to shed my father's last name? I mean hypenated my ass, I'm exchanging this bad boy.
*tear* Soon...I will have a maiden name.
...Although I used to wonder why there was so much emphasis on having one's mother's maiden name for everything. It took me a long time to realize with so many dead beat fathers, not to mention all the whores who don't know who their child's father is, that's not really feasible.
But...Wouldn't it be kind of funny?
I mean instead of sending rejection letters based on credit *sigh* why not just do it for lack of father's name?
...Like..."Records show that Smith/John is NOT the last name of your father on your birth certificate...Credit Approval DENIED"
...But that might lead to some awkward questions about one's parentage.
But still...lil' ol' me as a married woman?
Ok I used to play “MASH” and I thought I would be married, in a mansion, with 2 kids by the time I was 21 but clearly as a 11 year old girl I was smoking crack *lol*
I remember when I thought being 21 was equivalent to my mother’s age.
Come to think of it…nowadays I feel like I’m my parents’ age compared to the youth today. I’m 24 years old and sometimes it feels like I’m like in my 50s or something.
I graduated from high school in 2001, college 2005 and with all this shit out here nowadays, I feel old when I admit I had a portable cd player in high school.
Don’t front like I was the only one who carried a gang of cds with them to school. Had the little broke up headphone piece held together with tape. Lost the back of the battery holder so you had to put your hand over the opening so the batteries wouldn’t fall out.
Like I said…graduated from high school in 2001. Those things are like relics now. You’re like, poor, if you can’t afford an I-pod.
Here’s to another year of successfully dodging pregnancy, some of my exes, and the police.
Happy New Years!!!

Yeah...I'm Shocked Too....
You know I never realized how many “friends” I had until I began formulating the guest list for my wedding.
Although I am 100% positive that many of my so-called “friends” are fueled by the fact that we’re having a four hour open bar.
I mean the promise of free alcohol is how JBN lured me to his room that first time.
Or maybe it was the promise of real pizza and not that crap the cafeteria served.
Come to think of it, the promise of free booze or food always managed to lure me somewhere.
*lol*
So yeah…I’m back.
For good this time. I promise. My muse left me but apparently decided to come back. Fucker was on an unpaid vacation and shit.
So far this wedding planning isn’t half bad. I mean sure I have to patiently explain to people why I’m not mailing out invites yet…I mean the wedding is in August, folks been sweating me since September.
Oh and I haven’t even bought any invites anyway but that’s not the point.
And I have to patiently explain to my mother and the rest of my kin folk that inviting people who I have NO idea who they are is NOT an option.
As if your poker buddy is going to buy me a nice gift.
And not to mention there are gasps of disbelief that I do not want a bridal shower.
I mean we’ve been together 5 years…trust I have all the skanky lingerie there is. I don’t need crotch less panties or edible undies…trust those are in the closet next to the handcuffs. *wink*
But…as I said, not half bad.
The last few months have been kind of rough on me.
There’s this whole wedding thing, which was a headache and a half. I mean I am trying to do almost everything myself *since I know what I like and want* from the DC area and although my aunt and now my Mo-Mo *godmother* is on the train…things are looking up.
My brother, yes my shiftless lazy ass brother with numerous children, got married in November…and apparently found God.
Which I’m not hating on, I mean in the few short months he have really turned his life around and I couldn’t be prouder. To go from the lazy asshole mooching off of my mother to getting married and holding down a full time job not to mention getting back in the church is an excellent thing.
My family wasn’t without the side eye though. I mean this is my brother we’re talking about. I was in disbelief when I got the phone call.
I had to ask my mother did I have a new brother or something.
I won’t get into his church though. *side eye* Say what you want but I’m not into one of those churches where everyone is hollering and screaming, writhing on the floor from the Holy Ghost and all that jazz. I literally left his church with a migraine.
I mean why have a sound system when I can clearly hear you screaming from down the street? And all the fire and brimstone? Not for me.
And the lady that damn near went into an epilepsic seizure in front of me kind of did it for me. All the whooping and hollering and as soon as the music stops, she picks her ass up from the floor like it’s nothing.
*side eye*
But ummm yeah, my baby brother beat me to the alter.
I won’t even go into work. *sigh* I just won’t. I like 95% of my co workers, I really do. It’s not too many work places where political correctness is frowned upon. Oh yeah, we’re some filthy mouth racist *or so we have been told by another co-worker who was uncomfortable with our daily conversations about sex, penis, vagina, more sex, and the occasional racial stereotype thrown in for good measure*
And let’s not get on the blatant sexual harassment.
But the last few months have really been trying. I hate lazy people and I hate the fact that because I’m one of the hardest working persons in my department that shit comes down on me when other lazy motherfuckers decide to slack on their job.
So every day was a bitch fest. I mean I am not the type to remain quiet about shit especially when it comes to MY job and MY work duties. I’ll be damn if I get hollered for anything that pertains to me.
Niggas will have to pump those brakes. I don’t play that.
Don’t get me wrong I’m far from a whistle blower. I don’t believe in running to my superiors or HR for every little thing—I’m a face to face confronter. For the most part, I just do my job and my job only but you know how the actions of lazy people eventually affects your work and like I said, I’ll be damned if I let someone get me in hot water, so outside of daily calling folks out, I got into it with a few of my co workers.
It’s not a surprise it’s really the people I don’t get along with so I knew the shit was going to hit the fan anyway. I guess they thought by trying to make me look bad, I would get fired or a write up or something.
Clearly fucking with the wrong person. Testing my gangster while at work is the wrong thing to do.
Shit done fucked up your gift card for the Secret Santa and shit. *lol*
But...all my bitching has paid off.
In the next few weeks, I will be the supervisor over the SAME folks I have problems with.
Yeah that’s right…bitch got a well-deserved promotion.
*Not like I wasn’t doing the same shit before but now my ass is getting PAID to do it*
I should have taken a picture of their faces when it was announced. Straight gas faces. Faces looked like the world was over. One chick even got up and left the room.
*insert my self-satisfied smirk*
I’m now like a casting director…what are you really willing to do in order to get Saturday night off?
*eyes cut to the “chair” *hell my office isn’t big enough for a couch*
*sinister smile as I slowly close my office door*
Revenge has never smelled sweeter.

Told Ya I'll Be Back....
This trip home was far more successful than the last time I went home.
We finally have a ceremony/reception space.
I’m very pleased since we got our first choice for ceremony/reception place.
Everything fell in place. Ceremony space looks fabulous. Reception space is fabulous. It’s within our budget and we fell in love with it on sight.
Check it out: the website is: http://www.chateaubusche.com
Since my dress was not ready as I thought *side eye* no pics as of yet. I’m kinda mad at that.
Pool Blue *Hell Aqua, who am I kidding lol* and White are the main colors. I haven’t decided if the bridesmaids will wear gold or silver heels yet. But I’m leaning toward silver.
White is out as *sigh* it’s close to Labor Day and we all know white shoes are out after Labor Day.
I wouldn’t want them in White anyway *lol*
However my veil and jewelry is. Check back later for the pics.
Soo….um yeah….the kid is back :)
I’m done worrying until at least the New Year….and *sigh* Diet time. Invites. Putting fire under my bridesmaids/groomsmen asses. You know the usual.
Pro….you had me coined. I was in McDonald’s all last week slurping on my liquid crack. Fell out for dead when my favorite McDonald’s *Shut up, yeah I have McDonald’s spots that I haunt* ran out.
I demanded to talk to a manager and everything.
I’m scratching and shit, eye twitching….going through straight withdrawal.
Dammit I need Sweet Tea Rehab!
I thought I didn’t miss it but with the Monopoly Game *Shut Up, Don’t act like I’m the only one obsessed with that game* AND it’s on the Large cup of Sweet Tea….how could I resist?
But I’m entitled to pig out until the New Year and then….*sigh* I’m on a diet. One of my co-workers is a part time personal trainer and he offered to tone me up in time for the wedding.
And I don’t mean “tone me up” like that…freaks *lol* He is white and we all know how I feel about the “pink”.
I like my meats well done thank you.
So….congrats to me :)
I’m back….and in full force!!

Don't Erase Me Off The Blog Roll Just Yet...
I promise as soon as we close on the ceremony/reception hall on October 13th, I'll be back to my usual randomness.
Pics are coming soon. My best friend is acting real secretive with the pictures. I knew I should have brought my camera in that day.
Oh and my dress is done so while I'm in Chicago that weekend I KNOW I'll have pictures for sure. I'm super excited about seeing my "finished" dress.
I will forwarn you though: My hair is probably going to be all over my head wrestling with the dress and veil.
And dare I say it: maybe a tear or two.
Now I have to make sure my ass can fit in that dress w/o alterations by next summer
*sigh* I guess I'm axing Wendy's off my menu as well. It's going to go the way of the Sweet Tea from McDonald.
I swear I'm going to get a personal trainer.
I swear as soon as we have an actual place, I'm so sure things are going to fall into place.
Invites...piece of cake.
Decorations and stuff...my fantabolous *I know not a word but that damn Rachel Ray had grown on me with these made up words* aunt is taking care of all of that for me. She points and I buy. I step back and she creates her wonderful magic.
We've looked at rings. I've given him my top 5 and I told him to surprise me. Everyone seems really surprised that I want a simple ring. Pushing me toward the rocks when I want a simple band.
I'll get the rock for my 2nd marriage :)
Shit I want something that when I slide that bad boy off to go to the club, local crackheads won't break into the car and swipe it out the ash tray *lol*
Bridesmaids/groomsmen set. And no one is upset *or at least grumbling out loud* about paying for their own stuff. Trust I would love to pay for my girls' stuff but 7 formal gown and tuxes are not in the budget. If I won the lottery, then I wouldn't care but we're saving for a house on top of the wedding and we're on a strict budget for both. We are paying for the maid of honor's and the best man's items though.
You know my best friend is geeked about that. I told her she better get me a good stripper for the bachelorette's party since I'm saving her some dough *lol*
And top shelf Yak. Not the Jewel's brand liquor.
Once this last major hurdle is done, I'm back in business.
I can breathe easily...until 08. Then I'm back at it.
Thanks so much for everyone's patience. I know my long ramblings have gotten folks through many of boring work hours *lol*
When I have a spare second, best believe I'll be backtracking.
So no new boyfriends/husbands/girlfriends/wives, pregananies, stints in prison, slapping a family memeber up, felt up by some guy in the subway until I get caught up with my favorite bloggers lives.
But oooh add the great sex stories. You know I'm straight in the gutter :)
Pics are coming soon. My best friend is acting real secretive with the pictures. I knew I should have brought my camera in that day.
Oh and my dress is done so while I'm in Chicago that weekend I KNOW I'll have pictures for sure. I'm super excited about seeing my "finished" dress.
I will forwarn you though: My hair is probably going to be all over my head wrestling with the dress and veil.
And dare I say it: maybe a tear or two.
Now I have to make sure my ass can fit in that dress w/o alterations by next summer

Wedding Headaches
Since I am knee deep in work and wedding planning, I haven't been online much other than to look at reception places, wedding party favors, bridesmaids dresses, etc.
So please forgive me if I haven't been checking on my spots. I get so caught up in the wedding stuff, I don't go to any other sites.
Good News: I do have my wedding dress.
I went with my first choice after trying on 6 different gowns. I really liked my 2nd choice but that would mean starving to death the day of the wedding because the corset part is really tight.
In fact the whole dress was super tight *Just the way I like it ;-)* but I got a little light headed wearing that dress. And I know it would've taken me at least 20 minutes to get out the dress. And it was almost impossible to use the potty in the dress.
But after trying on my 1st choice, I fell in love with the dress and bought it right there.
Since my best friend, the matron of honor, is being really stingy with the pictures, I'll have to steal her camera and post up the dresses at a later date.
In fact I'm still looking for a new matron of honor after the heifer flung open the door while I was undressing and every one and their mama saw my bare ass in the dressing room.
AND I had on the busted joints at that.
So I do have my dress so push come to shove, I will at least have my dress when JBN and I have to run off and elope in Vegas.
My mother and I are on the outs. She's trying to plan this big, extravagent wedding and she does not understand that I don't want all of that.
She's trying to invite anyone who has every stared at me in the last 24 years to my wedding.
I'm not on that with her.
I understand she's excited but...umm yeah this is MY day!
It's so much we debate about I'm getting a headache just re-thinking about it.
My father and I are on the outs. As usual.
The way I feel about him right now- I don't want his contribution or him in my life.
I told him he'll be lucky if I let him attend, let alone walk me down the aisle.
My younger cousin stole $20 from me while I was in Chicago. Me and that little bitch is not talking. In fact, since she was M.I.A. the rest of the time I was in Chicago, oh don't think I was looking for her, when I go back next month to close on the reception hall, I'm putting my foot up her ass.
My other cousin, the one I got into a fight with on Thanksgiving, had the nerve to twist her lips up and ask can she be in my wedding.
Bitch please.
And not that I care but we *meaning JBN* asked his sister did she want to be a bridesmaid, this heifer: "I'll have to check my schedule". No love is lost between us as you can see. Makes me none. "I" was only asking to be polite since my brother and my male best friend are groomsmen.
Yeah I had to swipe some of his groomsmen. My best friend is a given. My brother...eh he's up in the air. It has already been told that I am not paying a dime for his tux so if he want to be in the wedding I advise he save up.
So I'm really trying not to stress about this wedding and I'm really trying not to snap on people.
I mean it would shave a few numbers off of the reception list but still...I'm so not trying to become a Bridzilla.
I am failing...quite miserably actually...but dang I haven't reached the exploding point yet.
My aunt, my savior right now as she's holding down everything for me in Chicago, we're doing research together, emailing each other back and forth, and because she's like an Arts and Crafts God, she's decorating for the ceremony and reception AND she put me on to this great caterer.
I'm trying to be nice and let my friends pick their own dresses because they are paying for it but I see already I'm going to have to pick out the dresses myself.
Folks' body types are sooo not matching up with the dresses they want. I mean 95% of my friends are top heavier, or at least in "C" cups and strapless is so not the way to go.
Walking tugging up the top.
Breasts spilling all over the top of the dress. Alright for the club but not for my pictures.
So since most of my friends are skanks, I see I'm going to have to find some nice "classy" dresses for them.
Now I am debating with the reception hall because I do not like their menu and I want to bring an outside caterer in. I mean I really want this place but I do not want the food. It's really bland and doesn't look good IMO.
I mean I want soul food. The fattening, the better. I don't want dry ass baked chicken or fish. I want some golden fried chicken/catfish candied yams, macaroni and cheese, collard greens *for the folks who eat that mess*, cabbage *for me*, corbread, etc.
And I prepared to go to war over this.
But elopement is looking like a great possibility as of right now.

Open Forum, Pt 5
Rashan Jamal aka T. Cas asked: 1: How come you ain't call me on your ATL layover?
2. What is the craziest thing you ever said to a guy at the club?
3. Do you actually talk like you write? And if so, please go to this website ( http://www.snapvine.com) and do an audio post so we can hear what you sound like.
1. LOL do you know long ago that lay over was?
Let’s see…at the time I either didn’t have your phone number.
Or I slept during the layover.
If I remember correctly I think it was only an hour and a half layover.
Not sure how far you are from the airport but I figured it would be a bust. By the time you get over, I’ll probably have to turn around and get right back in the security line.
Actually my best friend is pressuring me to come to Atlanta for the 31st-4th of September. I’m still up in the air I’m supposed to get to New York and Virginia Beach during that time.
But hey email me your number again just in case you changed it or something since someone *coughcough* is NEVER online anyway.
…lol ok why did this read like an email?
And ok why will this fuel back up rumors of our “passionate” yet short lived love affair?
LOL…Lemme stop starting shit.
2. You mean when sober or when I was “allegedly” drunk?
I say plenty of crazy things, mainly using old pick up lines spoken to me. I think it’s a lot funnier when I say the same lame crap to men and I receive a puzzled expression back.
It boggles me that “lines” actually work. I mean who is really falling for these lines?
Lines I’ve heard since I developed mosquito bites *or door knobs as they were called in the 7th grade* and begin to fill out my stirrup leggings.
Lines that followed me from bus to bus on my way to school.
Lines that I heard as I walked down the street toward a porch full of guys. Or walking past a group of guys at the food court in the mall.
I like to hit skeevy men with a dose of their own medicine every now and then. You know, reduce them to a piece of meat. Or serve as my own personal eye candy.
So I actively violate space, grope random body parts and whisper sweet nothings in an ear or two.
Wolf whistle *or spit as I tend to do since I can’t whistle* when a “tasty” morsel walks back.
Grab a hand while “seductively” biting my lower yank and yanking my head, like “ay come here”.
Grab a whole cheek. Hell sometimes I go straight for the package. I mean why not sexually harass? I mean him…in those loose fitting jeans? Shit he’s asking for my hands all over his body. I mean he’s asking for it!
Who told him to come out dressed like a future L&O:SVU episode?
But um…the craziest thing?
”Man do fries comes that shake?”
“Damn you thiiiccccckkkkkkkk”
“Aye Bay Bay” *this is BEFORE that cursed song!!**
“Mmm…damn shorty you looking RIGHT…What ‘cho number is?”
“Lemme holla at you for a minute”
“Your body is tight…You a stripper?”
“Aye why don’t we leave the club and you can slide with me to my mama’s house. I mean I have the whole basement on lock!”
And when I get drunk…I’m more crude and misandrist.
Lots of “niggas” and “fuck yous” and that such. *lol*
3. Yes and no.
I speak better English than I write it.
Although I love to read I never paid attention in English class which why I don’t use my verbs, nouns, pro nouns, etc. correctly.
I never learned how to write properly sad to say.
Speak yes. Write no.
And this is from an English major *lol*
I actually don’t like my voice too much. I think it’s too deep. Like “Man” deep.
And I’m just naturally loud. At a “normal” tone, you can still hear me across the room.
When I’m whispering, that’s a regular tone to most.
When I was younger and picked up the phone, people either thought they were talking to my mother…or my father.
Well actually I have been told I have a rather seductive, “Girl 6”, kinda voice.
But then again I think he was just trying to get in my pants *lol*
I’ll go ahead and do the little audio thing but I’ll warn you my voice is NOTHING like you would expect.
