When the Bite Feels Good

OK Bloggers,



I have so neglected this blog since.... ummm....well, I met The Mover Guy. Last thing I reported, I thought that I began to have feelings for this oh so cute young thunda... well... umm...no. The Mover Guy is still #1. The little youngin' was a bump in the road. So for now, I've been bitten by the Love Bug.















Lesson Learned: Brown wrapping is a good thing...the bumps and wrinkles are a sign of strong character (well in my situation they are).

Holding with Both Hands

This is a serious vice for me.

Seriously, I can hold a grudge like a true bama.

Right now, I am holding a serious grudge against someone and I am not sure if I want to let it go. I can't pinpoint what they've done, but it's something that's not too comfortable in my spirit. They, now after a lot of "chat", are trying to make things right or better. However, inside, I think it just may be too late.

I don't forgive very easily and certainly DON'T forget. But in this situation, I don't know exactly what it is that I am trying to forgive or forget, it's just a notion that I have regarding their shady behavior.

Yall, I am a true grudge holder and it's probably hurting me more than it's hurting them.

Who knows....

SIGH and le sigh

Lesson Learned: Grudges are painful.

President Obama and Us

Ok.... I am a bit late with this post... but here it is.

The Mover Guy and I make the trek to DC last weekend for the Inauguration. We left Atlanta around midnight on Saturday and arrived in DC around 9 am ish on Sunday. We drove 85 to 95 to 395 then 14th Street ...finally to my sisters.

Once we arrived at my sister's place, it was our intention to bathe and be out to the concert. Well.... that was not the case. We were both exhausted from the day before and neither of us had slept since Friday night. Sooooo... we slept. We slept and slept and nearly missed the festivities.

After Sunday's festivities, we took in a movie at a theatre in Chinatown. We really wanted to warm up and rest our feet... so a movie was a fabulous way to kill three birds with one stone. The theatre was packed. We saw Notorious. The movie was ok...I'll post about that @ a later date.

On Monday, we did a lot of sight seeing. The Mover Guy hadn't ever been to DC, so we did the tourist thing. It took FOREVER to get downtown by bus. Around 7th and I, things started to get really thick.. so we exited the bus and "footed it" to all the hot spots. By the end of the day, we were whipped.

Words can't describe the great time we had on Tuesday. For those who were there ... know the exact energy and feeling of the city. The low lights... our hands and feet were cold as heck, we drank tons of coffee and did I mention that our hands and feet were cold as heck. We love you President Obama, but DON'T EVER start on CP time EVER again. Got it!!!!

We made our way back to Atlanta early Thursday morning. Everything was great and I couldn't have had a better experience.

Lesson Learned: Everything.

The Atlantic Star

My Atlantic Star is "Birthday Boy". He's a young thunda that I met on January 11. I (a weary heart - me) was returning from a day of retail therapy. Him, there he stood, in the parking lot of lust, as I searched for a space. Our eyes met as I slowly rode past him. He paused, peered into my soul (my car window) and we eventually exchanged pleasantries and phone numbers.

During this brief meeting of the minds, I learned that we shared the same birthday...yes young thunda and I had an intimate/personal connection (not like that)...though 9 years my junior.

Fast forward a few hours...

"Birthday Boy" calls @ 12:01 a.m. to wish The Lady Girl a Happy Birthday. My heart was tickled. I've seen him everyday since we've met. (It's difficult but....he gives me what I am missing from The Mover Guy).

Strange situation and probably more suitable for a Lifetime Movie but it's happening here @ The Loft.

Lesson Learned: What one won't, another will but it takes discipline the forgo the temptation.

PS. I failed the first test and I am not sure if I want a retake.

Tagged by my lil' blog sista - Mz81

She asks,

1. What was your favorite subject in school?n (this can be any level of your schooling---past or present)

English-Language Arts and Algebra.

2. Everyone makes 'resolutions' for things they want to do for the New Year. What's one thing you WILL NOT do for the New Year?

Be single. If this relationship doesn't work out, another will (got a young thunda in the wings). That is the only variable missing in my life and I am too selfish, focused and of the Type A variety to let it linger un-nurtured.

3. If you were a crayon, what color would you be and why?

Black because it holds all colors.

4. Describe your dream wedding?

The groom, myself, the official and minimal guest. Ideally this would be a warm, sunny beach with the wind blowing and minimal humidity.

5. As seasoned bloggers, what's something you've learned from these here 'innernets' (snicker)

There are a lot of simple broads on the INNAnetz who take this platform as real life. I would like to encourage these simpletons to log off, shut down and gasp a heaping snort of fresh air.

The Hog and Turkey Died (thank goodness)

Finally, the holiday season is coming to an end. I am not much into holidays, so this time of year gets on my nerves. I mean people turn into Christmas freaks, women turn into cooking rambos, children morph into toy hoggin' gremlins and men...well...they are all of the above.

With this, comes the tradition of dinners, gatherings and whatnot. Honestly, I have had my fill of ham, turkey, dressing and all of the trimmings. So yesterday, I got back to the basics, my basics...

Chips and Salsa.

Thank goodness, the holiday season is almost over.

Lesson learned: Christmas and Thanksgiving come at the same time every year. Bleh.

Cadillac Records

#1 - Cadillac Records should have been called the Biography of Muddy Waters.

#2 - I thought Beyonce was going to be all up and through there... but ole girl didn't show up until the last hour. Speaking of Beyonce, I think her acting skills have improved greatly. I was super surprised to see her cursing like a sailor, but ummm, her fuck you's and MF's were somewhat refreshing. (I'm just saying).

Overall, I think it was an ok movie. My date, The Mover Guy, thoroughly enjoyed the movie... me, well, it was ok. The Muddy Waters dude was good, Gabrielle Union was ok, the record CEO dude was good...so much so I wanted a Cadillac.

I guess it's a must see.

I am Suburban

I am Suburban.

This is something that I've always known but have ventured away from time to time. I've dabbled in being an urban chic, an artsy chic, Mother Earth, and a ride or die chic... and I am none of those, I am suburban. (educated, classic, feminine, poised, conservative, solidly opinionated, middle-class, well traveled and spiritually focused)

Some suburban girls follow a typical protocol and stereotype... and yes I am apart of that category. Many like to label this crowd as uppity, boogie, or better than... but that's not it, we're just suburban girls.

I was raised in the suburbs, I currently live in the suburbs and I am suburban.

Lesson Learned: Suburban chics rule!
