Ada Verastic Has Refused To Suck My Nipples

I have to say, I never really predicted that one day, I would be on Verastic and complaining about someone not sucking my breasts. But here we are. My baby, Ada Verastic has utterly refused to suck my breasts. She latches on to my nipple sometimes and sucks for a few minutes, the she lets go and starts crying. More like screeching. Then her hands start flailing all over the place and she starts kicking rapidly. If you did not know why she was crying, you probably think that I pinched her really Read More

Journal #11: November 2015

Welcome to December. December though??? Oh, my God. 2015 is about to be over, my birthday is next month, and I need to start thinking about my personal and professional plans for 2016. I'm not ready! November was a month of reorganization for me. Other words I can use to describe November are: evolution. Starting over. Learning new tricks. A whole new perspective. I mean, it goes on.

No. She has stared many Read More

Let Me Tell You About My Grandma

Since giving birth to Ada Verastic, grandma has been staying with me. After she came, she was gone for about a week because she had a cold. Grandma can come and go as she pleases because she only lives about 10 minutes away from me. Anyway, she's my only living grandparent, and really, the only one I met because her husband, my grandpa died before my mom even got married, and my paternal grandpa died before I was born (I think). My dad's mom, however, was still alive when I was born, but she Read More

That Time My Gut Saved Me From Dating A Liar

I believe that everyone has intuition and gut feeling, and that women especially have more. Whether or not we use it, that's a different issue. Anyway, this story happened in 2008, I believe. It was here in Baltimore, in the month of October. It happened when Funmie and I went for a 9ice concert, and I met this Yoruba guy. I eventually nicknamed him Spongebob because I thought he laughed like Spongebob. If you don't know what Spongebob laughs like, then watch this 16 second video Read More
