MY BLACK FRIDAY PHILOSOPHY: 

1. There are no PREMIERE STORES where I live: STANDING IN LINE at WAL-MART... uh NO!

2. I like to shop in PRIVATE: I'll go in the middle of the week in the middle of the day... NO PASSENGERS IN MY DRESSING ROOMS!

3. a SALE is too much PRESSURE: End up buying people stuff they DON'T NEED 

4. WHY WAIT TILL FRIDAY: I'VE BEEN GETTING EMAILS FOR OVER A WEEK!

ALTER EGO

I did a post some time ago when my desire to own a pair of VINTAGE CHANEL earrings began... needless to say over the past few months I tried on and off to win a pair... I'm not good at ebay... I watch stuff and forget that I watched it...lol... and the one time I won a pair my bid didn't reach the invisible reserve... side eye... but I am at it again... oooohhhh weeeee that drop pearl pair are off the chain! p.s. I would just go and buy a pair but I live in a "country" state whose "upscale" department store doesn't carry them...

 UPDATE: I DIDN'T WIN EITHER PAIR.... BACK TO THE MAP

CONfessions #47

Some people get their morning jump with a cup of coffee... I get my jump from my cab driver...my choice of travel to work every morning is a Yellow Cab... I live in the city .... but I also live in Alabama.... so yeah people think I'm nuts... I like it though ... it's like RevRun's words of wisdom every morning ...lol...

Here's what cabbie #47 had to say: "I was ran over by a truck...They say I would never walk again....They said I was going to die...I told that doctor... God said that if he wanted me to die... I would have died right there... Today I walk with no assistance...I got broke off a little something after the incident... I bought a house... I got six kids... I got custody... put them all in private schools..."

The guy seemed pretty chill once he told me he had a wife ... I could ease up on my side eyes... I mean folks be trying ya... lol... funny thing is guy said he put all his kids in private school then told me what school his 17 year old twins go to ... and of course it was public ... lol! I was impressed though that he was resourceful with his settlement money and bought a house... I'm looking to buy my first place... anybody want to give me a settlement? Guy said he had eight surgeries, use to drive limos and met all kinda famous people, great money and he could stay fresh because he loved to dress... mink coat and all.... guess today I got that message that God won't give you more than you can handle... keep faith... it rules above all science!

ICON = CENTURY

THE DECOR: is still the same ... HOORAY!

On the way home from the gym I stopped by what use to be ICON... my favorite brunch spot in the city... and picked up some din!

THE PRICES: they were very kind to my card

Well apparently Culinard... a culinary school in the city has taken over the restaurant and renamed it CENTURY...

THE SERVICE: was decent... after the girl at the bar finally took my order

Still in my sweatsuit and carrying my duffel I sat at the bar (totally out of place) and chatted with my new criminal lawyer friend...lol... he kept badgering me about my bb and itouch... "I don't want no d#%&n body trying to keep up with me all the time."...lol... he was babysitting some wine...

THE FOOD: CAJUN CHICKEN SANDWICH: SLAW: FRIES & an order of HOMEMADE CHIPS w/ a creamy cheese based sauce... all very tasty as a TO GO order... I have to warn you if you don't like spice don't try the Cajun... mouth was on fire!

CENTURY : 4 out of 5... I love teaching environments .... Culinard also has a Bakery/Cafe... they make fresh GELATO and some pretty scrumptious CAKES.

ASPARAGUS: ESPARRAGO: ASPERGE

CRAYOLA: MY LIFE LONG LOVE

LOVE: NO: LANGUAGE : BARRIER


I remember transferring to kindergarten... I loved coloring... and obviously I was GREAT at it... they gave me this box of colors for the day .... they were cheap made of this waxy stuff that left shards all over my paper .... I colored hard... all the kids were amazed... I'm not kidding... seriously ... my coloring drew a crowd...lol... and then I got my CRAYOLA'S... ahhh... I think every kids should have quality art supplies... watch out... for my foundation

the REVIEW: WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

MOVIE STAPLE: APPLE JUICE

Winner of the Caldecott Medal, Boston Globe -Horn Book Award, and a named Notable Book by the American Library Association... the children's book turned feature length film is in heavy rotation just a couple of blocks from me at the McWane Science Center IMAX theater... it's been years since I read the story but I could vividly recall the large format picture book... While the movie was of course children "themed" it was pretty adult friendly... it really wasn't the movie that intrigued me though... THE SOUNDTRACK! I NEED IT! The music was amazing and kept me in the film... The soundtrack is credited mostly to Karen O and the Kids... Karen O is from the group Yeah Yeah Yeahs... I'm going to have to post a music REVIEW soon... hmm.... but back to the movie...I have to say I wasn't to impressed by the IMAX... some stuff is just to large to be larger ... I think I would have had a better experience on a standard screen... all in all it was a pretty cool sounding night at the movies!
