Ok, so I actually found time to blog today. I am in a classroom and I have an hour break. For some reason Christmas just feels different this year. For once in my lifetime, I can't think of anything to really ask for. I don't really need anything....except some new boots, Tory Burch flats, a vaccum cleaner....just kidding! I really just feel the need to give to people that I really appreciate this year. And to be a blessing to someone else.
At my church we are doing an Angel Tree that gives gifts to children of parents that are incarcerated. This was such a blessing for me to just be a part of because I grew up with my father in prison and there was never a program like this. If it was, my retarded Daddy just never got on the list....Sorry I got a little off track. Anyway I felt great joy to go and pick up some of the items that my two Angels, Desiree and Tayvia had on their lists. I really want to do something else for someone less fortunate so I guess I will look more into that before the holiday season is over.
Maybe I'm just growing up but I really think Christmas is about being with family and being a blessing to someone else!!!!! I am leaving on Sunday to go and be with my family in Marshall so if anyone wants to give me my boots or vaccum cleaner before I leave, please feel free to call me. Lol!

JUST WONDERING
1. Why do we wish for our kids to start talking and then as soon as they start we constantly tell them "Be quiet, you talk too much"?
2. Why do we only appreciate the little things when they are the only things we have left?
3. Why does the day fly by so fast when you're on the couch watching TV but the slowest when you are at work?
4. Why does George Bush keep vetoing the bills to help insure poor children? Is he Satan?
5. Why do we stand in the way of our own dreams in life?

Kanye West Update
Hey guys! I know everyone has heard of the untimely passing of Dr. Donda West and hopefully has kept 'Ye in your prayers through this rough time! I am an uber-Kanye West fan, having followed him way before he came out with his debut album. I remember reading an article on him back from when he did Jay-Z's BluePrint album and falling in love with his arrongance and swagga. Anyway, based on reports I've been reading, he is quite torn up over his mom and is even in denial about it. He had no idea she was even having the surgery or the extent to which she went to have the surgery done. Very sad...
She was definitely a hero to me just because she was a single Black educated woman who raised a child alone.
I'm Still Alive!

The Queens are Back!!!
Before TLC ever hit a stage...before Destiny's Child popped up on the scene and changed members 12 times...there was a super female group called "Salt-n-Pepa". If you were an eighties baby then there's a strong chance you wanted to be like them. Many of us tried to dress and rock our hair like them. Regardless, they were all over the airwaves and on TV. I remember my little sister, who had to be around 5 or 6 at the time, got a beatdown from my mama for blurting out "Push it real good" from the backseat. For me, I would envision I was Salt up on the stage looking fly and captivating crowds with my lyrics. However you came to know this duo, you had to admit...they were bad!
Well, they are back! I don't know if everyone had the chance to see the premiere of their new show last night on VH1 but I did and it had me laughing so hard. Seven years since they officially broke up, Salt is a married mother and devout Christian who is very involved in her church. Pepa is a mother, a party girl and very much still mad at Salt for abruptly leaving her hanging when she left the group. From watching the show, I got the picture that Salt is doing pretty good for herself but Pepa is in need of money and more of the fast life she had while in the group. She practically begs Salt to join the group again and promises to compromise with her new Christian principles. The part that really cracks me up is that Pepa has no idea the stuff she does is not cute for a mother or a woman of her age. She gives a man a lap dance and simulates giving head while thinking its no big deal and getting mad at Salt for calling her out on it.
The two are scheduled to perform at a party for Shaq but when it gets cancelled, Salt asks Pepa to perform "What A Man" at her church! You can tell Pepa ain't been no where near a church because she starts to get a little sexy during the performance. Please everyone try to watch it...toooo funny! Hopefully like me, you'll just enjoy seeing them back together again!

Funny Ish!
These are some recent stories I ran across while perusing other blogs. They crack me up so thought I'd share!
First of all, check out this "dime piece" Chris Brown pulled up on the stage at a recent concert. Priceless!
Next, please somebody slap this chick! I died laughing when I ready this story!
A woman was arrested after she called local police to help “get her money back” after she was unhappy with the crack cocaine she purchased. Juanita Marie Jones, 53, called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, according to police reports.
She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the drugs were “fake.”
And last but mos def not least, check out this blast from the past! Can anybody guess which rapper this is? Guess we know the rumors are true now!!! LMAO!

Weekend!
Ok so my boyfriend and I broke up recently after almost a year of dating so I have been sooooo bored...especially on the weekends. Also, I just moved into the house I grew up in so I am doing major rennovations that have been stressing me out.
My wonderfully awesome family came to town from Marshall this weekend to help me out around the house and keep me company! My mom, step-dad, and sissy helped me tackle some big projects and then we went out to eat and to the movies to see "Why did I get Married?" In case you guys haven't seen the Box Office results, this was the number one movie over the weekend raking in $21.5 million. Don't I sound like I should be on Siskel & Ebert with that line? Anyhoo, this movie is the best one I have seen this year! The cast is awesome and the storyline is well-thought out and full of surprises and funny moments! If you are now or think you ever want to get married you should run out and see it right away. That's right...push away from your desks at work or school and head to the theaters right now...I mean it!!!
The fam and I got up on Sunday morning and worked around the house some more and then we headed out to see Big Tex at the State Fair of Texas! We ate soooo much and had a nice fun and relaxing time. It was an overall great weekend!
