Dazed and Confused

So, I am a shit talker. I make no excuses for that. I say what I want and usually mean what I say. Recently, I got involved in some high school drama while on Facebook. Now, I always thought Facebook was supposed to mean, you post things on people's wall or pages and they respond back to you... When did all this petty shit come into play? I am not an internet gangster. I am a grown-up. I can back up what I say. So, when I see a coward delete my posts or take offense to what is on the internet, I have no choice but to laugh out loud. You are the one being manipulated sir. Can't keep wanting what you cant have.

Anywhoo, that is enough time I will spend on those who don't matter.

Today is Friday and I am loving it!! Another weekend I will spend at home not doing a damn thing! I was actually thinking about re-arranging some things, though who knows. I got homework to do.... This math class is getting on my LAST nerve! Since I signed up for the real world before I went to college, I know for a fact that I wont need to know most of this shit to get by in life. So I think that is what frustrates me the most. I have been posting alegbraic equations to my co-workers all week and they seem to get a kick out of solving them! I will leave you with this...

Thursday Funnies

I am always amazed about what I will find on YouTube. Enjoy this!

Here is the original

Glamour Wednesday!!

I am a huuuuge fan of Carol’s Daughter! I have used her hair products when I was natural and now that I have a relaxer. I want to put you all on to this. This hairdress can be used with wet or dry hair. What I like to do is take some and put it in my hair when I have washed it and when I do a dry wrap before I go to bed at night. It will leave your hair a little wet, though when you wake up, it will be silky! Check it out for yourself!

Girl, you are as fake as your weave....Or are you?

Ok, so a Facebook conversation really inspired me to once again come out of blog coma and write about the current state women are in with our so- called "fakeness". Is it misleading when you meet a man and have weave down your back, 3 inch heels on and a wonderbra? (Luckily, your girl never had those small titty issues, I was always blessed.) Though, I can see where a man will call a woman fake, based on the outer appearance we try to hard to present. Though fellas, give us a break! It's a dog eat dog world out there and women out number the fellas.... So if I gotta prop my girls up or get them surgically enhanced, chemically straighten my hair... to look good then so be it! Look at the magazines, models and TV, natural sistas are NOT what you desire. Though I am not saying those women aren't beautiful. I once wore my natural hair for a year, men AND women alike were looking at me as if I joined a cult. So what is it? You will have your "self- righteous" brothers who want a sista in a Dashiki just to prove a point and then you have your men who will ONLY be seen with a model chick. To each their own? Or is it something deeper? Are women who get weaves, perms or booty pop panties any worse than a sista who has braids? Or is it the person INSIDE that counts? Why do we as women let society or a man tell us what is beautiful?

All in the Family

So, in my blog hiatus I have been doing a lot of family bonding… Not much, though enough to know that I am surrounded by dysfunctional people who usually have my best interests at heart. I am really lucky to know both my mother and father. Something as normal as that in my life has been the turmoil and source of anger in most young people’s life. There are times in which I would have traded them both in for a new model, though I am so glad that in the end, I am blessed to have Ron’s style and Diane’s quick wit.

Though, why do so many of us who have families see each other so infrequently? Why is it that I have family in LA, Chicago and Seattle that I see once very blue moon? If even that really…. My family is so big, that I actually have family within a family. I have members who are not blood, yet are still a part of me and are very much of the same tree. (That rhymed…not on purpose.) I have friends that I grew up with like family and I have either lost touch or plain don’t see them at all. Yet, even those who are not blood related have shaped me into who I am. Why not keep up with these folk? Is it easier to call a girlfriend for the latest news, instead of a cousin or sister? Is it the age gap? I have no idea. Really, these questions have no answer, at least none that I can answer truthfully.

The scenario came up today when a coworker of mine heard me say that a certain celebrity “twin connection” were my cousins. Now, they are not blood related, though when we were younger, you couldn’t have told us that. We got into loads of trouble and were very close. I even wanted to move to their house! Though, as we were older, the calls stopped and the communication really dwindled. I would see them on TV and become extremely excited, though sad, as I knew that was my only way of “Keeping Up” with what they were doing. This is one of the reasons why I didn’t like California, not because of lack of phone calls from family, because of that “Hollywood” mentality and the “who you know” way of life. This is the reason I believe we lost touch. I am now the equivalent to the county bumpkin cousin of the now famous actresses……….. how uncool. Though, dammit I am pretty much in the know, I club, party and bullshit, I am fairly attractive, nobody you would be ashamed of… lol yet, no calls. This actually goes for all the people who I knew and no longer speak with in LA LA land. Can it be that we have all changed so much that NONE of us can relate to one another? What gives? Maybe I should reach out first? Though, no that would look desperate and I’m pretty sure most would think I am buttering them up to borrow money. So what do I do? Is it safe to say that in life, people come and go for a reason? Is that acceptable for family? Friends?

I guess until then, I will keep living my life and embrace those who are immersed in it fully. Why throw yourself upon people who may be too busy for you? Then again, maybe I will make the first step and call. I mean, I love these guys despite whatever the length of time it has been since I saw their face in person. I also could use about 50 bucks…

Glamour Wednesday is back on schedule!!!!

My lip gloss be poppin! Is yours??

Recently I was turned on to Bobbi Brown's lush lip gloss. I love it! You will too! ever so easy to glide on your lips and it does not make you all chapped and ashy hours later. (Y'all know what I'm talking about) Some lip glosses will tear your lips up and make them all flaky and gross. Remember in middle school you used to wear all that Carmex that was just WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! Making your poor lips peel and tingle...... Shame on you! Shame on all of us! Luckily, if you use this lip gloss, your lips will forgive you and charge that Carmex episode to the game.

I love the gloss in the color gold. It is a MUST for darker skin tones. BEAUTIFUL! Have any of you tried another color? Let me know how it's treating ya!

Don't worry about the cost. It's worth it! Find this at your local Nordy's or wherever Bobbi Brown makeup is sold.

Tuesday Motivation and thoughts....

Just because it looks like one of those weeks where I will need motivating all day long, everyday!







Well, whats new in current events? Tiger Woods is still held by the balls from his corporate sponsors I see.... Why does everyone think that we needed to hear an apology from him? I am gonna jump out there and say if his wife were black, we wouldn't even care.







Don't believe me huh? Well look at the whole scandal with Shaq supposedly screwing Gilbert Arenas' wife..... Did Shaq hold a press conference? Nope. Did we care either way? Nope. Why? cause there is no crying white woman. Everybody hates to see a crying white woman. This is how Oprah's show got to be so popular. I tell my white friends all the time, you wanna blackmail a nigga, don't key his car, don't play on his phone, just start crying. The police will show up quick!






Until next Time,
Stay real!

Posting Beauty late...

Yeah, I suck. No postings in a while, after I went on a tyrant about how I would do better......

Well, here I am late as hell, though I didn't want you all to go into the weekend without this MUST have item!!!

DOVE CREAM OIL SHEA BUTTER

"But it's just lotion Krys....."

I know, I know... though it is the BEST!! A bit watery looking, though will make your ash turn into BUTTER!!! I use it everyday in these cold DC streets. Don't cheat yourself, TREAT yourself on this one! Dove makes good products!

GO BUY SOME!!!! You know you need it this winter!!

Glamour Wednesday!!

So, I decided to have some structure to this blog thingy.... I will make each Wednesday about some beauty product that I love or want to try. I am not being paid for none of this, so don't think of it as solicitation. I'm just a girly girl, so hopefully my suggestions can help or give you an opportunity to try something new.

I will start off my Glamour Wednesday Blog with a fragrance that I know you all will LOVE!! PINK SUGAR by Aquolina I have the shower scrub and the Eau de Toilette! Your day will be a little better with this! You can find it online, or at Nordys.

Congrats to Beyonce...again and again....

I just have to AGAIN say how much I love her...... I mean, the Bitch is BAD!!!! It gets no better. Congrats Bey!

Now let me get back to work before the overseer gets wind of my blogging.

Grammy Highlights

So, I am my own fashionista...... as a fat girl, I cant really get into Fendi and Gucci, even if I save my hard earned minimum wage dollars they simply don't want to see my ass in their clothes. So I have my own sense of style! I will post some of my favorites from last night.

I don't care what y'all say... I LOVE this bitch.... Gaga in Armani.

Heidi Klum in Pucci. Look at the tits on her! Motherhood never done someone as much justice! Ashanti looking "pageant chic" I liked it though. Way to try and stay relevant Shani.

All in all the Grammys were pretty entertaining. I could have done without Em, Weezy and Drizzy though. The MJ tribute, while touching, was a snoozefest. I would have rather seen Celine and Carrie Underwood just fight to the finish on who is the most powerful white voice in the game. (My money is on Celine) Usher was over the top as usual. I guess he wants to shine with his newly single self. Also, I know it's 2010 and all, but we all don't just have 3-D glasses laying around the house. My eyes were burning like shit. Mike's kids said a touching little something at the end. I am still yearning for something more. What is an MJ tribute without dancing?? Damn that Chris Brown and his iron fist! He has ruined my chance to see a real tribute due to his current blackballing.

I saved the best for last though.......... My love, my better half.... The Alpha and Omega......

BEYONCE GISELLE KNOWLES-CARTER!!!!! 6 AWARDS IN ONE NIGHT!!!

Showstopper!!! Record Breaker!!!

Needless to say. I am happy about my girl getting her propers. She thanked "her husband" and told him she loved him..... I almost fell out!!!!

Until Next Time,

Stay Real!

Thoughts on a Sunday

I really want some McDonald's... but then I have to get up, decide whether or not I'm taking the dog with me, get gas, drive to McDonald's and THEN hope I still made it by breakfast hours. Hmmm..... How bad to I really wanna be sitting on the toilet today is the real question. Mickey D's runs through me.

Anywhoo.... What's been going on y'all?? This Haiti shit has got my brain rattled. I was so sorry to hear about the earthquake and have donated 30 of my hard working dollars already. Not to be pessimistic, though since they have raised over 50 MILLION dollars from the Telethon last Friday, wouldn't you think The Red Cross would STOP asking us for money?? I mean, how much do they need??? Where is it going?? These are questions I'm sure everyone has, though are too afraid to ask in fear of sounding insensitive. Luckily, I have no fears. I want to see that my money is feeding people and building makeshift hospitals. All I hear about is looting and thieves on CNN, so I'm like, where where is all the money?? Hopefully they will rebuild and move on from this tragedy.

OK, I'm off to do absolutely nothing. I planned on my decision whether or not to go get breakfast to be my most difficult thought of the day.

Until Next Time
Stay Real

The REAL Hangover

HUNGOVER!!!

I mean I am on some head knocking shit right now! Everything looks blurry.

I am off some Vodka, Cranberry and Red Bull from last nights festivities. It was a friend of mine's boyfriend's surprise birthday party. (That was a mouthful) I couldn't say anything before as it was a surprise and all. I wasn't trying to be the spoil sport. He seemed pretty enthused.

The club was in Georgetown, so if any of you know the DC area, we were getting our International District on. Flat assed Asian women for everyone!! Almost made me homesick. All of our clubs in Seattle are made up of this demographic.

I got my chit chat on with girlfriends I haven't seen in a while. There was a man with a "Bert" sweater on who kept us pretty amused. I feel like anyone bold enough to wear a Sesame Street character over the age of 5 must be very secure with themselves.


Well, Let me go and lay my ass down.
Until next time!
Stay Real!

Purposely Neglectful

Just saying Hi!





Been neglectful on purpose. I started taking online classes, which actually aren't so bad... I am trying to knock this degree out, so I can say I have done something successful since the 10 years I graduated from High School. You know, other than successfully got fat, boring and married.





Any good movies out? I REFUSE to see Avatar. I feel like any movie with that much marketing I need to rebel against. Plus I am not a Sci-Fi nerd, blue people don't amuse me. I wasn't even a fan of the smurfs.

Other than that, Looks like it will be a long weekend of washing clothes and being broke. TGIF anyway.

Happy New Year!!!

I am just thrilled to have even made it through New Years, I did NOT wake up with a Hangover, my ass woke up still DRUNK! (Hmmm, could it have been the Sudafed I took just hours before drinking?)

Once again, the hubby and I spent the evening at the Gaylord National Resort, they have a BIG New years party each year with open bars, drunk white folk and mediocre food! I missed the countdown, as we were too busy drinking to notice, but I think we kissed around 12:05.

The night was not short of drama though, there was a man getting roughed up by security for "allegedly" putting his filthy hands up some girl's dress. His girlfriend was going apeshit while the security had him hemmed up..... You know the typical "Leave my man alone!" type crap. We thought she must have not been aware what his charges were about. LOL

A man hit on me in front of my husband, I thought it was hilarious! He did not.

We are already planning on our next year's stay! Though I tell ya what, It wont involve no 30 dollar room service burger!! Highway robbery!! I will keep it hoodie with a cooler full of sammiches next year! THAT is my New Years resolution.

In the end, shoes came off at the end of the night.... I passed out pretty good.
