Mother's Day!!!!

Ok, so you read it right. Miss Page is going to welcome another little person into this world. Um, let me just start off by saying that this was a complete shock to me, because as the Doctor was telling me I had a pamphlet for an IUD in my hand. So, to say I am caught off guard is an understatement.

Last week was a bad week. I was all aflutter with morning sickness. I am still a little sick, but I have learned what works and what doesn’t work. I cannot eat anything fried anymore it turns my stomach, but I am loving any kind of fresh fruit and hamburger helper. I know….hamburger helper….I had to go all into my “food for hard times” stash and made some HH last night and it was so good…I may make some more tonight.

My mother’s day rocked. Me and Miss Beasley watched Alvin and The Chipmunks in her room. Boy, that child has a lot of rules when you watch a movie in her room. First rule is you must NOT doze off. If not she will do the distinction of opening your eyes for you. I learned that the hard way.

****There was a long pause in my posting because I had to do a title search****

Ok, why did the title searcher just divulge to me him and his wife are into threesomes…..WTF?!?!?! Am I giving off the it’s-ok-to-tell-me-that vibe? I would just like to say that you never know what it is that people do in their personal lives, because as many times as that man has been in here, I would have never guessed…..

Um...Yeah....

Just got back from the GYN…….and it is going to be a LONG 248 days…..until I have my baby….yeah went for the pap smear, stay for the babies…my momma is going to kill me…….

City Hall, GYN, and The Barber

Ok, ya’ll posting is going to be a little light until Real Estate tax time is over……City Hall is killing me slowly. All my NC people get out in vote in the primary. I don’t care who you vote for just vote!

Today I have my dreaded annual visit at the GYN….yeah….fun times. My sister and I were talking last night about how it is the most invasive visit ever. It was for me, until I had Miss Beasley. It seemed that all of Virginia Beach General has seen my lady bits.

Ok, here is some REAL news!!!! I went on my first post-Rev date! It really wasn’t a date so much, but me and this gentleman hung out at my house watching “Weeds” (which is my new FAVORITE show!!!!). Let me give you the stats. Of course you know anytime there is a beauty shop, there is usually a barber shop in close proximity. Well, I met him when he came by the beauty shop to talk to my mentor about taking the state boards. When I say he looked good….he looked GOOD!!!! There are three things that I look at when I first look at a man: 1) Is the haircut tight, and is the beard, if there is one trimmed? He’s a barber so of course they are 2) Is he smelling good? He had on Diesel for Men 3) Pretty teeth. They were white and straight. We had a long talk about him getting his license some techniques that he had to learn in order to get it. So after a few visit between the beauty and barber shop, we decided to get together outside of “work”. Well, after a lot of hits and misses and busy schedules we finally got together on Saturday night. We drank Heinekens and after watching the show, we listened to the radio and talked to one another about music and the way we grew up. It was an enjoyable evening. We are going to do it again this Saturday, but it will be complete with crab legs. I can’t wait. Be Blessed.

Minor Irritations.......

Why would you call and ask for a phone number and then tell me to wait, so you can “get a pen”. Did you not know that you needed one before you called?

If you cannot get an answer (meaning no one picks up) in a COMPLETELY different department, why would you continue to call my department just to tell me that they are not answering? That is no different than me calling the Men’s Department in Sears and asking the questions about the sale on Women’s clothes at JC Penney’s.

It is a sad shame that the National Day of Prayer only garnered a few people outside of City Hall at 12. I bet if some tragedy struck up in this piece, the first thing folks in this office would be calling for is prayer.

Rev. Wright…..enough said. You all know how I am feeling about Ministers these days (just playing), but really, I think he is going a little far….some people like fame.

The lack of decent television. I stopped watching TV after The Wire went off the air. Netflix represent!!!!!

My child acting the plum fool exactly one day after her father and I spent all evening putting our heads together on how we were going to afford her tuition and registration fee.

My co-worker all in my cubicle….I have covered this in another post, but I really need her to stop before I have a meltdown and tell her how I really feel.

The same co-worker feels the need to “la-la, la-la” along to the elevator music being played in the office……think of the movie Babe.

That is all….I love blogging….it gives me a release!

The Summer is Coming!!!!!!

Ahhhhh summer is upon us. Reading Miss Stace’s blog, it got me thinking about what I was going to about my summer wardrobe. This year I am really trying to get my grown and sexy on (this is the MOST overused phrase known to man, but I couldn’t find another phrase to describe what direction I am going in). I do however, know what direction I am going in with Miss Beasley. Old Navy all the way. I love the way the clothes fit on her. She is tall but she has a small waist and the jeans and shorts at Old Navy always fit her perfect.

All is well in Miss Page’s life. Last night I was supposed to go to bible study, but I had to lay down some discipline on Miss Beasley and by that time I did not feel like going. So, I had bible study at home and I found some good stuff in the 3rd and 4th chapters of Hebrews. It was very calming.

Things at the beauty shop are a little rough right now. Yes, local hairdressers are suffering because of the high cost of hair weave. It sounds ridiculous when you first hear it, but I have notices the cost of hair weave going up, up, up. We are talking in the 40-50 dollars a pack range and you need about two packs just to get a good sew-in. Never mind the fact you have to pay the stylist another 80-150 dollars to put it in. I personally an hurting financially from this. The stylist that I assist used to do about 10-12 weaves a week and we had a system where she would braid the client up(yeah, I am a black girl that can’t cornrow) and then I would weave them up. I would yield about 50 per person from that. Well, I believe we are down to maybe 5 a week. Most of the people coming in are holding on to the hair they have and just having me tack up any loose tracks. There is no money in that. I am supposed to go to the shop tonight but I am starting to wonder if there is any point to it. Last Thursday I walked away with 5 whole dollars…..yeah.

As I sit here at work I am plagued by the fact that I REALLY want a grape Nantucket Nectar, but I think that drink is like 3 points on Weight Watchers and I am saving all my love for dinner tonight (steak!) , I will press on sipping water. Be Blessed!
