New carpet

I believe I failed to mention we are getting new carpet. Not the bedrooms, just the living room, stairs and the up stairs hallway. Yep, we finally made a decision to go ahead and get it done. And by we I mean me.......told ya I was a major procrastinator.

At any rate, the carpet is due to be installed Sunday. So we have all of this week to clear out the living room. Guess how much we've done........drum roll......a big fat NONE. To my defense, I did call for bulk pick up of the stairmaster that's taking up space in the far corner.

Happy Tuesday!

Emotional Inspired

As I mentioned in my previous post, I attended a play at the suggestion of LBJ. The play was entitled Heaven In My View. The play was written and directed by Tonia Vines for Act 2 Ministry at Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church in Washington DC.

Let me say I was so glad I went.......granted I was late, hair and parking issues. But I was there and thankful and grateful to be in attendance. By the time I arrived they were in scene 6 of the first act. Here are some of the highlights:

Scene 8 - Tribute to Langston Hughes - a few poems were reciting including the infamous Mother to Son poem. A great job by all that recited a poem, particularly the young lady reciting the moving and still relevant Mother to Son.

Honorable mentions for Act 1 include scenes 6 (Black Heroes), 9 (Good News) and 10 (Harlem).

During Act 2, I cried, laughed and felt inspired; highlights include:

Scene 3 - Separate But Equal - a depiction of the story behind the famous Brown vs Board of Education case that allowed blacks to attend the same schools as whites.

Scene 5 - I Have a Dream - the speech reenacted and the mourning of Martin Luther King Jr. as well as a reflection of his plight

Scene 6 - Music from the 1960's and 1970's - musical hits from the likes of Diana Ross & Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Jackson 5 to name a few.

Honorable mention to scenes 4 (Bus Boycott) and 8 (African-Americans of Excellence).

Overall, you can tell alot of hard work and dedication was put into the performance as everyone did an excellent job. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and was glad I made it to the performance. I left feeling uplifted and hopeful, but also inspired to do better because of my rich heritage.

We have a new president who should inspire us all to want to do better. He's attained the highest position in our nation and as such, we as a people have no limits......

Weekend recap

Hubby called about 5pm Friday to say he got tickets to the Wizards game, do I want to go. I hesitate, cause I don't like sports and I wasn't really up to dealing with the crowds. But I agree and we make plans for him to pick me up and then we'd look for parking and head on to the game.

I'm glad I went. The seats were decent, and the atmosphere was joyous. I barely knew what was going on and spent much of the time twittering......LOL. All of a sudden the crowd goes wild with applause, and I'm like what? What's going on, what happened? And guess who walks in.......our president. He left shortly before the game was over, but it was great to see him out and about with us regular folk.

Saturday was a busy one for me.......I didn't feel up to leaving the house but I had things to do. So I finally get out the door and the first stop was returning books to the library as I was on my way to Hubby's niece's bowling party. I stopped thru for a sec and chatted then move on to my next stop which was the beauty supply store and the GNC, then I hit up Walmart. My last stop for the day was to return the items I purchased a few days ago, you know the suit, jeans and sneakers for my niece. Yep I returned everything.

I need ti get home and dressed because I was attending a play at the suggestion of LBJ and then a party.

Sunday as I was resting from all the hectic Saturday, I get a call telling me a snow storm was coming. I got up and hit the Target and Shoppers and then it was back home for me.

We did get snow, but not enough to shut down the federal government. So I went to work......

Hope you had a good weekend!

Rite Aid is correct

Just before the pending snowstorm, I hit up the Rite Aid in my area for a few items; snacks to be exact. At any rate I got my items and got in line. I was immediately behind this young guy (Hoodie) who was accompanied by two other young guys (hat and no hat) and a young girl. So Hoodie is next and tells Hat to point out the cigars he's talking about to the sales clerk. Here's how the conversation went:

Sales clerk: I'll need to see everyone's ID
Hoodie: why? I'm paying.
Sales clerk: yeah, but he's telling you what to buy. I need to see ID from all of yall.
Hoodie: I'm 21
Hat: I'm over 21
No hat: I'm 18
Sales Clerk: ok, let me see some ID.
Hoodie shakes his head

So the lady goes and picks you the items the Hat pointed out, but then comes back and this is how it went:

Hoodie: look we're all over 18, let me go ahead and pay.
Hat pulls out his wallet and states: Oh, my ID is in the car
Sales clerk: well I'll hold these until you come back with that ID

Hoodie says something else and they all walk out.

I pay for my items and walk out, and guess what, they were no where around.

Those kids were putting that lady's job in jeopardy for some dang on fruit flavored cigars.....youngins don't give a flying crap about no one but themselves. They had no concept of how hard times are and what it might mean for that lady to sell those items to her.

Idris Elba's new movie Obsessed hits the theaters sometime this year:





I'm not a fan of Beyonce's acting, I think she should stick with singing. But I like, correction LOVE ME SOME Idris so I'll venture to the movies to see this one.
