Thanksgiving – Great! For the Jets…Not so much.

Monday, November 28, 2005


Well I am back at work bright and bushy tailed after a nice little Thanksgiving stint. Well all is true except for the Bright and Bushy Tailed….


I left work early on Wednesday, our company let us out at 2pm and I headed to get my oil changed in my car and then go and do some last minute shopping. The super market was BEYOND crowded and as usually folks were fighting over Turkeys and egg nog. Some drama at work but that will clear itself up in a short while. Thursday I got up and helped cook and set up for dinner and all that. Of course my cousin was late as usual and we started dinner late. I went to Harlem to have another go round at dinner at L's family's house. Then we went to Brooklyn to have dinner with my dads side of the family. On the way home I stopped at my friend K's house to thank her for the dish she made for us and to give her back her tray and then L drove us home.
Friday I was off - I didnt want to leave the house becasue I KNEW I would spend money that I didnt have, but my father needed me to take my brother to the mall so I ended up spending money I didnt have after all. lol. I hit up Macys and saved soo much money that I didnt feel too bad after all. I got a tomm.y hilf.iger down comforter that was originally 270 for 79.99 YEAH BABY!!! Then I came home and ate some leftovers and my friend K came over and we hit the mall up again!. So sad.
Saturday I took my mom to manhattan to visit her sister (my aunt) in the hospital. We stayed there for much of the day and then came home. Sunday back in the mall with K again! She got some speakers for her car and she spent the rest of the day trying to install them herself - which YAY she did figure it out...but you know me I got distracted and went in the house to go dye my eyebrows...lol yes you heard me right. I have pics to share! lol.

Then later that night L and I went to the Je.ts game in the Meadowlands. Now I am not a FAN FAN of football all like that. I can watch it and I know when to get amped when the team I am rooting for is running in the direction that I need them to. With explanations, I suppose I can come to love the game….but that’s another story for another day. I went to the see the J.ets cuz that is L’s team and he scored us some tickets. Now…it started at like 8:30 PM – and while the temperature was mild during the day, the night was cold!!! And here I am with full makeup face and my cute lil sweatsuit—cold as hell. Why oh Why. I ended up getting a J.ets blanket to put over my shoulders and tying down the hoodie to cover up my little mushroom fro. And of course I had no shame, I had L rubbing my ass to keep me warm. I have the classic pic that I will have call the "frustration of a jets fan", poor L his beloved team lost again! but the pic is classic!

Share My World

Tuesday, November 22, 2005


So I have so been slacking with the posting. I really need to get back on my game and yes I know I have been saying that for forever. The past two weeks have been hell for me, I have been going through some times with a new person on my team and needless to say he is making me the manager that I dont want to be. In general I dont like when people take advantage, and I am the type of person who doesnt care as long as the work gets done. But he was turned me. I cant really go into details because...but if you want some info email a sista Im dying to share. lol. Um but yeah he is trying to test me and thats the last thing he wants to do. I have some pictures of my room. I am still fixing it up...slow I know! but its coming along nicely. Finally I am posting a pic of my shelves that I built with my own two hands. lol. I still dont have enough room for all my books but I am getting there. Here are some pics of my room. The wall above my bed with the mask. The new window covers that are a darling neutral color and crease so nicely instead of just rolling up. And the duvet cover that I got from Ikea which the colors are great and they contrast the wall very nicely. I washed it and it was all folded so thats why it looks all creased but on the bed it looks really nice. I will take a pic of that to share a lil later.

This is Kevin. He is a friend of my cousin from London and he came to NYC to run in the NYC Marathon. It took him about 5 1/2 hours but Kevin finished and I am sooo proud of him! He came to my job and I snapped a pic of him to share with you guys. YAY Kevin. He has promised to be my tour guide -- he and hopefully Barry and my cousin when I go back to London probably this summer. They always take care of me when I go take me around to all the great places and show me a good time. Thats the way to go!

Bahama Mama

Friday, November 04, 2005


Today is a good day!

So Good News the Baby moved! My friend Yve is prego with OUR first child. Lol…oh wait that didn’t sound good, she is married but her baby is my baby too – minus the labor pains of COURSE! She called me this morning to tell me she felt the first flutter and cuz I was driving I couldn’t talk without a headset I had to get off the phone but I am sooooooo happy. I cant wait till the lil bugger is born. I am so ready to spoil her rotten (ok or her).

I found my camera!!!!! Yes yes ya’ll, apparently when I was redoing my room and moved the panty draw – I folded up all my panties on top of the camera…hmmm. I don’t know but I know that I’m just glad I found it!

My shelves are done! Well I finished them a few days ago but then I couldn’t get a good pic of it to post but now that I have my camera back I will take some pics to show of the shelves that I build with my own two hands. I feel sooo good high off of life…

I’m going to the Bah.amas! Got my ticket Wednesday. K, a friend of mine called me at the 11th hour telling me about some sale and we got our tickets then and there right before the prices went up. It was a $9 each way sale on SpiritAir.com – I always hear about sales like that but never took advantage of one because I never know about them. So I will be going to the Bah.amas December 12-14, just call me Bah.ama Mama. Lol.

Tonight I’m going to dinner with L and then tomorrow night, K’s sister is having a get together so I will be going over there and Sunday a friend of mine is here from Lon.don to run in the N.Y.C Marat.hon so I want to go and support him. I’m hoping I can get him coming across the finish line or something. I am also supposed to be going with L and his daughter to see Chicken Little. Those are the plans for the weekend thus far. What are your plans?

PET PEEVE!

Tuesday, November 01, 2005


I am not one of those people who kid myself about my personality flaws. I am fully aware of what they are and I know what sets me off. I know one of my major problems is I have this TEMPER! I have a really bad temper and I can also have a bad attitude when it comes to certain things. Let me tell you why I am even bringing this up.

As you know I have been redecorating and it seems like I have been spending A LOT in Home Depot. I swear that is like my home away from home. So yesterday I went there yet again to pick up some lumber to redo my shelves and some paint to paint it white and all that. I get to the register and I had just applied for a credit card but didn’t have the info on me. Well I wait on this long line to get to the register for the girl to tell me to go to the customer service booth where I had to wait on yet another long line for the girl there to tell me go back to the register because they have to call it in. So needless to say I was ANNOYED because my biggest pet peeve is when you go into a store and the act like they don’t want to do their job and you’re PUTTING them out. Now granted I may have been upset because I had an incident with the people at Ikea and my drawers that I am STILL waiting for and going through the rigmarole with them, so at this point I was put out and not nice. I gave the cashier ill attitude and the lady on the line that started to grumble because instead of waiting on the line I went to the head of it plus the man who tried to run me over with his big orange cart because I though I was skipping the line. So I not so nicely said Um excuse you but I was here WAY before you rolled your ignant ass over so you would do well to shut the hell up. That shut her up! And ole boy with the cart slowly started to back peddle. UGH People if you don’t want to do customer service then don’t work in the customer service department.
