Thoughtfully…Thought-Out…Thursday…Thoughts #39


1.I took some time off from reality TV I just couldn't go cold turkey K Rock you were right from all TV. The break was actually refreshing. I resumed watching reality early Sunday morning and by Monday night I was overloaded again. From this TT you can tell I missed it...lol

2.Where did they find those folks for "Wedding Wars"?? Awww Frankie and Sophia, they were voted off last time I watched. Sophia what color is your face?? Copper? In that same vain I am completely appalled that someone with a jacked up mouth and articulation calls himself “Hollywood” Dude Really?

3.I’m kinda into period pieces #Mildred Pierce.

4.I thought the plastic surgery faces on RHOBH were bad but Miami has them beat. Did ya’ll see that one chick Marisol mom’s face?? OMG!! The horror! She said she was a witch! I agree!

5.They will make a show about ANYTHING! Extreme Couponing TLC really????

6.Know what I miss? I miss AR gal’s re-cap of the Te.en M.om Series. I have had some things I've wanted to say about that show this season. Humph!!! But I understand. I will say this in, the season finale I swear Jen.elle's mom wanted to call Ke.ifer "that nig.ga" she probably did and they re-taped it.


7.I don’t really like African Art. Is that bad?? I think the idea of it is beautiful but as a personal preference nope. I do like African textiles though.

8.I really relish in the term “quit my life” Lately I feel like I was born into somebody else’s life. It’s been surreal. Sometimes I truly wish I could "quit my life."

9.I regret never moving to Chicago and working for the Oprah Winfrey Show. I wonder if I can get in on the OWN network. This is totally off my life plan path. But right now...path smath!

10.I’m afraid of horses. Although I’ve rode a horse before it was NOT a pleasant experience. Horses are creepy too! Their eyes are too big!

11.I'm not sure if ya'll know this..or if I told ya'll...but....I’m suppose to be great. I mean for real great like read about me in the paper, hear about me on the news, be proud that you know me great!!! Every day that passes and this is not achieved I feel let down by myself. Conceited much...Yes! LET ME BE GREAT!!!

12.I’m totally looking forward to the dressing ease of summer. Throwing on a simple sexy sundress and super cute sandals YASS!

13.It was odd to me how Elizabeth Taylor’s death was down played in the media. Like I barely heard or saw anything about it. I bet if Michael Jackson was still alive it would have been a HUGE deal!


14.Seen and Heard Some people need to leave that plastic surgery alone. Have ya’ll seen Kenny Rodgers??  He shoulda knew when to holdem, to foldem, knew when to walk away, knew when to run! He shoulda ran…And Lara Flynn Boyle?? WTH? Creepy!

Waiting..........

I went on another job interview! It went stellar! I ROCKED! Confident, charming, knowledgeable. I was ON!! I've had great interviews before. That's me on the question mark waiting........We all know
I  HATE!! Waiting! GRRR!!

It's Sunday How bout a scripture and a song?


Psalms 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.

This is a tantrum. On a Sunday? o_O You have been warned!

Lately, off and on I've been in a funk! I am bitter, angry, sad, disgruntled, frustrated, sensitive and bratty. I try to keep this blog light so I don't really talk about my woes, but I have really been going through with my job situation. Since my layoff in 2008 I didn't do a post about itI just took a long blog break. I've had a few temporary assignments here and there. Some last for months, some last for weeks. When I'm not working I hit my savings to live on. So when I go on one of these job interviews it's major for me!

I am so fearful lately that at some point things won't meet up and I'll end up homeless or lose something. I'm tired of downgrading my cable, making payment arrangements, staying in, not being able to travel like I used to, not being able to dine out regularly, not shop like I want to when I really shouldn't be shopping at all.

Saving every dime is tiresome! I still do some things. I have to treat myself. If I didn't I think I would go nuts.
I can't be my fabulous self. I can't be my fabulous self. I can't be my fabulous self and I hate it.

I really hate my life right now! I'm mean really, who is unemployed this long without a permanent job?? This is just not me! I have soooooooooo many things I want to do that I can't. I feel like I'm dying! dramatic much? My birthday wish was to get a job. How sad is that?

Once again I have another interview and I'm hoping this one pans out. The competition for these jobs is ridiculous! This economy sucks! California was hit hard and I am completely appalled that I am affected by this. Why me????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Now that I've said ALL that I must still thank God! Because even though this is pretty bad to me. I must be grateful because  like the song says somebody somewhere is worse off than me.

I'm taking it way back with Walter Hawkins this Sunday. "Be Grateful" is a song that just touches me every time I hear it. It actually makes me cry and convicts my spirit! I need to be more grateful because I haven't lost anything and I'm still living pretty good. Because even at its worst it's not as bad as it could be. Please pause the music player and Enjoy!

The Pure Debauchery....

Okay so on Saturday my actual b-day it was storming like a mug. I am sitting at my house bored and my sister calls and says whatcha doing? I say nothing she says "get cute, put on a freakum dress, we going out."

I was like where??? I hate clubs and I especially hate clubbing around here. She was like nooooo you will like this it’s cool we just going to dance. Stop being soooooooooooooo boring!

I was bored and being boring so I said what the heck let’s go. All I wanna know is WHY???????


Why did my sister take me to this???


I mean what the heck!!!  It looks like a flyer for a strip club! But it wasn't?? You know what her reasoning was?? She said she knew the ninjas would be out due to the flyer. And she was right!!!! LOL! Turns out the Ultra lounge is nice. I would actually go back, but why such a skanky flyer??

All I know is after I got over being so dang bourgie. I LET LOOSE!! I’m always tame, dignified and all that but this year I’m single and that nite I decided it was okay to let loose and let loose I did OMG!! The dranks started flowing I started drinking this nasty by the way with pineapple juice and some other stuff.

This club(click events/ultra lounge) claims to be an upscale place for people of discerning taste. Well those folks stayed at the heezy on my rainy birthday. The full full moon brought out the hood rats, hookers, skanks, and scallywags. They were OUT and I was right up in thurr wit em. LOL!
I have not stayed out that late night in awhile and it was fun.  I danced my butt off to this! It was my song of the night!



I don’t remember everything but I do remember getting to the club, dancing, getting drinks, getting bought more drinks, dancing with the buyers, drinking, dancing, drinking while dancing. Meeting some fool named Bernard. Dancing some more. Bernard puttin his hands on me in places he shouldn't under my dress?!? The hell?? Me not stopping him. o_O according to my sister My sister coming to get me. Yanking me from Bernard Then...
_______________________________________________________________blank space

Thoughtfully…Thought-Out…Thursday…Thoughts #38



1.Have you ever clicked the next blog button to see what blog comes up after yours? I clicked it and found a new blog to read. Score!

2.I was walking through Target one time and this crazy looking scraggily man walked up and pressed a dollar in my hand. He said God told him to give it to me. I wasn’t sure how to take this. It freaked me out. You know I thought the money was contaminated, but at the same time pleased that God wanted me to have a dollar.

3.It’s St. Patrick’s Day!!! Green, Green, Green! I really like green my favorite green is grass green. I have green pants. Do I wear them no. Will I this spring? Yes!

4.Speaking of green have I discussed my complete obsession with green apple flavored candy and gum!! Can you say YUM!

5.March 17th is my 2 day marker for my B-day. What type of ratchetness will I get into this weekend Hmm……LOL!

6.I don’t really have a b-day wish list this year. I just have 1 big wish…okay 2. But what if I don’t get any gifts?? I better get some gifts. The horror!

7.I’m having a breakfast HERE on Sunday to celebrate my B-day with my fam. Now my breakfast is competing with a 9 year olds b-day party that‘s starting at noon. I’m a little pissed! His b-day is on the 3rd why they wait until my B-day weekend?? Haters!! #familydivision UPDATE: Too hungover to eat/go.

8.I have to say something about Nate Dogg. R.I.P, Since when did men start having strokes in their late 30’s and dying at 41???? That is some scary ish right there. Men please go to the Dr. for wellcare check ups! Please! In true AR Gal fashion my fav ND collabo Lay Low(clean) Westsiiiiiiiiiiiide *still crip walkin in his honor*

9. I am freakin in love with all things tie dye. I ordered a dress 3 weeks ago on E.bay to wear to my birthday breakfast. It hasn’t arrived yet. What izz gon do?? UPDATE: It came, it came, it came today!!!


10.I was really shaken (no pun intended) on Friday with Japan’s earthquake and tsunami then the tsunami watch for California. I was up all night watching the news after the emergency broadcast system flashed across the screen. I am not prepared for a natural disaster. Are you? I have one little earthquake backpack filled with things for 2 days. Clearly NOT enough! Why do people keep saying California is going to fall into the water?? Stop it!! You’re scaring me.

11.Seen and Heard. I love her but I hollered when I saw this because everytime I watch her show...

It's Sunday How bout a scripture and a song?


He Loves US.
Romans 8: 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We Love HIM.
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind

Praise and Worship.
I lift my hands in total adoration unto you
You reign on the throne
For you are God and God alone
Because of you my cloudy days are gone
I can sing to you this song
I just want to say that I love you more than anything
You hold me in your arms
You are my shelter from the storm
When all my friends were gone
You were right there all along
I never known a love like this before
I just want to say that I love you more than anything

I love you Jesus
I worship and adore you
Just want to tell you
Lord I love you more than anything

Thoughtfully…Thought-Out…Thursday…Thoughts #37



1.OMG! I was watching Maury, why before Maury read the results the chick stood up and said "You’s the Pappy Boss!!!!!!" I DIED!! AND HE WAS!

2.When eating fast food are you puzzled when the chain claims to be made with 100% real beef! NOW? Ummm, what was it made from before? #tacobell  That's why I eat at home now! Better than TB nachos on my food blog.


3.After further pondering I believe Charlie Sheen was tired of doing Two and a Half Men. I wonder how long his contract was for? According to MSN he is credited for “bringing phrases like "winning," and "tiger blood" into the lexicon.” I have to thank Charlie Sheen because from here on out I’m winning!! #WINNING

4.When you eat  potato chips do you eat the ones with spots? I will give my opinion in the comments!

5.If you could have theme music play as you walk what would it sound like?? Think Shaft What song would it be?? I've decided mine would be this----here. Sometimes in real life I wish my music could start before I arrive so people can anticipate my coming. I bet you thought it was going to be something cutesy. Nope I'm feeling gangsta!

6.I’ve been taking pictures of my feet to see what they look like on film. My sister said her feet are not cute to her anymore. I hollered!

7. I like words so I'm making TT less common and more my own. Thoughtfully…Thought-Out…Thursday…Thoughts #37.

8.So it's relaxer time again and I'm doing it myself. It's the difference between $7 and $70 on my healthy hair journey HHJ. I have determined I definitely should relax at 9 weeks exactly. Why do I continue to try and stretch to 10 - 12 weeks?? It's so counter productive! I did a post about it on my hair blog.

9.Hey natural ladies here’s a chance to showcase your hair and win some money doing it! Check out this photo contest.  http://www.blackhairmedia.com/PhotoContest


10.You know how shoes and clothes have names?? I get a thrill out of seeing my friends names on items. I always send them a picture of the item. Sometimes if they say they like it guess what they get for Christmas, their B-day or a just because gift?? LOL! Don't you just love just because gifts???

11.P.S. show cased some amazing couture trench coats by Burberry on her blog. I can’t stop looking at them or thinking about them. I'm a clothes stalker lol. This will definitely be a line I frequent for clothing. AMAZE! I swear if I had an extra $4,000 right now! Man!

12.Seen and Heard. I saw this album cover yeah album not CD on another blog and could not stop laughing! I wonder what they sound like?? Jesus be a fence!

It's Sunday How bout a scripture and a song?


Judges 20: 22 And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

I Samuel  30:6 And David was greatly distressed; ... but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.


Love this song! It's hard not to be encouraged after listening. Please pause the music player and be encouraged!

Movies Anyone???




Has anyone watched the series Everybody Hates Chris? I did and I thought it to be well written and funny after the seasons progressed. Anywhoo, there's an episode in Season 4 where “Chris inadvertently gets his teacher in trouble when he makes the suggestion of writing a report from a movie instead of a book.”

This got me to thinking, one of my 2011 goals was to start a book club, but instead of starting one I found a really good one to join and will be going to my first meeting in a few weeks...

But what about an online movie club???????????

Many of us love movies, have a favorite movie or might be curious about movies we’ve never seen. That coupled with Netflix, RedBox On Demand, Blockbuster and the actual movie theater, makes watching a movie simple. I'm thinking we could view and discuss some very interesting films similar to Z from P.S. I Love This and my recap of Claudine in this post.    

So if you are interested in joining an online movie club let me know in the comments. I think this will be hilariously fun! Don't you?

Some tenative guidelines are: All members can suggest movies. We will view one movie a month. We will meet the last week in the month. Let’s discuss the best day. Feel free to add any other suggestions you think that will make this club successful. I’m excited!!!! Are you??

THURSDAY THOUGHTS...#36

It's Thursday these are my thoughts...


1.It seems like I've been on some type of campaign for everybody to use Seche Vite top coat they are not paying me, but they should be! and actually it’s not that. Use whatever you find that keeps your mani together. It’s really about the process of using UV lamps at nail salons. I want to get the word out about what people overlook is the FACT that too much exposure to UV rays can "change skin texture and cause the skin to age prematurely, leading to skin cancer." That’s my PSA. Love ya’ll.

2.I don’t like lemon flavored food. Lemon cake, lemon ice cream which seemed really popular in the SIP, lemon pie, lemon chicken, lemon cookies blech! But I love lemonade! Yum!

3.Pissed that ABC is not OnDemand. What is that about??? All these wonderful shows so I’ve heard that I can’t get to know.

4.What in the HELL is wrong with people???????? Did ya'll hear about this??  Story here. We no longer live in a time where you can look at a person and assume they are safe. I'm not sure how well she knew this dude but dang! I'm sooooooooooo disappointed in the world right now! I'm not sure if I mentioned my punishment for child rapists, but it involves a razor sharp Ginsu knife, salt, their penis and patience!

5.Last weekend, I caught up on my Ye.lp reviews and the owner of a spa I visited contacted me via email. I gave them 3 stars and my honest opinion. It was truly not the best facial I’ve ever had. She wanted to know why didn't I like the facial.Umm, I think I can not like whatever I want. Why you mad??? Somehow an $80 facial became a $100 facial. Pricey and not the best. Get over yourself! I wasn't even her worst review. I had the best facial of my life at a spa for 60 bucks! That lady steam cleaned my face until I changed shades. LOL!

6.Has anyone watched the straight up lascivious teenage debauchery that is SKINS???????????

7.In the last two weeks I have had a parking space taken twice. The one this week would have caused me to wreck. I was about to GO THE F OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She swooped in like a scene from the movies, causing me to slam hard on my brakes!!! I had to hold myself from saying doing something the 2 times  that we met on the same aisle in the grocery store. I just stared at the lady and her kid she’s lucky she had a kid. She did NOT make eye contact…These fools keep trying to test my gan.gsta! I’m doing so much better with my anger management.  I may have to read my books again.


8. I personally think Are.tha Fra.nklin had the surgery. No hate just don't lie Boo!

9.Oh Charlie Sheen, did you really have to take it that far? Two and A Half Men is so funny. He needs to take a shut up pill and get some real help! I just had a thought about him but Confessor did a post. LOL!

10.Now for some California crazy. Famous cat from the South Bay featured on Ani.mal Pla.net. The perfect mix of fame whore and hoodlum. Sorry mrstdj I said Ewww too! LOL! I don't  know why looking at that cat made me think of your story! Yeah I do he looks creeepy! exposing my lightweight fear of cats

11. Top Chef All-Stars ROCKED!!!!!!!!
