Fresh Air

Heaven knows I need some of this right now. It'd be nice if I could just have a nice place to vacation to. It'd be really nice if I had a loving volunteer family somewhere that would welcome me into their home every summer. It'd be really, really nice to just wake up and think of nothing else but the fun I would have for the day. Ah, but I'm no longer between the ages of 6 and 12.

Ironic, huh?

Something funny has been happening these days. I step out of the car, lock it (with the remote), walk toward my destination, and then, suddenly feel like I didn't lock the car. So I just walk right back to the car to make sure it's locked. So far, every time I have come back, the car has been locked. I laugh at myself sometimes. I wonder why I bother coming back every single time (knowing somewhere in my heart that the car is locked), but it's because I never remember locking it.On the Read More

Men, Men, Men!!!

That is apparently all we, women talk about. I was looking at the table of contents for this month's Today's Black Woman magazine (with my girl, Jennifer Hudson on the cover), and look what I found...So apparently, we have nothing else to discuss but men. Well, I disagree!! What about uhm...? And uhm....? Well, how about....? Hmmmm. Interesting. Oh, well. You can't say I never tried to defend womanhood. Hehehehe. Read More
