Ladies and gentlemen of Verastic, we have a problem. It appears that I don't like my clothes anymore. Well, I like some of them, but most of them, I'm just not in love with. My favorite clothes are my skirts, and I almost have no problem with them. I love wearing skirts. If I could, I'd wear a skirt everyday. Only a skirt. But that's just how I feel today. Knowing me, I might change my mind tomorrow. After all, it wasn't too long ago that I only loved pants. How the tides have Read More
It's Friday. I want to ask you something that I've been thinking of asking. And I got the idea from a TV show. I want you, dear Verastic readers to give me a word to describe me and this blog.

Actually, I do know why. No, I cannot say why. No, it's not because of Igwe. And no, I am not pregnant either. KennKnotty left a comment on a post that I cannot find right now where he said I should tell him about Ms. Flow. Clearly, he did not think I would deliver. KennKnotty hasn't blogged since last Read More
This post was originally posted in March 2009, and I find it even more interesting now. Since I cannot commit to putting up an old picture of me every Thursday - not even on Instagram - I can at least put up old posts - not every Thursday though. Enjoy. ______________________________________ … My last kiss was —- well, let’s leave that alone. There is no need to put that on here now, is there? You and I both know the answer. Let’s leave it between me, You, and him. A while ago, I Read More
