Because my funds a low, my weekend will be spent in the house for the most part. Here’s my agenda:
· Homework & respond to weekly conference
· Hair - wash and style
· Wash clothes
· Library – pick up book
· Cleaners – drop off winter coats
· Write checks for student loan payments
· Clean kitchen
· Clean 2nd bedroom
· Organize living room
Mister and I are going out on a date tonight. We'll do dinner and a movie, not sure where or what movie just yet.
Oh I have Girlfriends season 2, so I'll watch that over the weekend. Looks like I'll have a productive weekend right? Not, I'm sure I'll procrastinate and barely get anything on this list done. Oh well.......
Have a great weekend!

Bail me out!
I haven't been able to fully concentrate on anything interesting to blog about since news of the bailout hit the air waves. I'm totally distruberd and unnerved by this. This move really speaks volumes about our government.
We have vetrans that have fought wars and come home to lack luster healthcare and can barely find a job, but $700 billion will be used to bail out the financial industry..........
Our public schools aren't the best in the world, but $700 billion will be used to bail out the financial industry..........
unemployment is steadily on the rise, but $700 billion will be used to bail out the financial industry..........
countless people are without healthcare, but $700 billion will be used to bail out the financial industry..........
our social security has been screwed up for years, but $700 billion will be used to bail out the financial industry..........
I understand that something has to be done, but $700 billion?????? There are so many other ailments we americans are suffering from and there are no plans for bailout of those. But here we have a case of greedy executives bitting off more than they can chew, creating scams to put more money in their own pockets and middle class america is forced to foot the bill.

Fwd: Never Judge
This is a little something that was sent to me, I found it interesting and inspirational. So I'm posting it.
'Some people!' snorted a man standing behind me in the long line at the grocery store. 'You would think the manager would pay attention and open another line,' said a woman. I looked to the front of the line to see what the hold up was and saw a well dressed, young woman, trying to get the machine to accept her credit card. No matter how many times she swiped it, the machine kept rejecting it.
'It's one of them welfare card things. Damn people need to get a job like everyone else,' said the man standing behind me. The young woman turned around to see who had made the comment. 'It was me,' he said, pointing to himself.
The young lady's face began to change expression.Almost in tears, she dropped the welfare card onto the counter and quickly walked out of the store. Everyone in the checkout line watched as she began running to her car. Never looking back, she got in and drove away.
After developing cancer in 1977 and having had to use food stamps; I had learned never to judge anyone, without knowing the circumstances of their life. This turned out to be the case today.
Several minutes later a young man walked into the store. He went up to the cashier and asked if she had seen the woman. After describing her, the cashier told him that she had run out of the store, got into her car, and drove away.
'Why would she do that?' asked the man. Everyone in the line looked around at the fellow who had made the statement. 'I made a stupid comment about the welfare card she was using. Something I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry,' said the man. 'Well, that's bad, real bad, in fact. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan two years ago. He had three young children and she has taken on that responsibility. She's twenty years old, single, and now has three children to support,' he said in a very firm voice.
'I'm really truly sorry. I didn't know,' he replied, shaking both his hands about. The young man asked, 'Are these paid for?' pointing to the shopping cart full of groceries. 'It wouldn't take her card,' the clerk told him. 'Do you know where she lives?' asked the man who had made the comment.
'Yes, she goes to our church.’ 'Excuse me,' he said as he made his way to the front of the line. He pulled out his wallet, took out his credit card and told the cashier, 'Please use my card. PLEASE!' The clerk took his credit card and began to ring up the young woman's groceries.
Hold on,' said the gentleman. He walked back to his shopping cart and began loading his own groceries onto the belt to be included. 'Come on people. We got three kids to help raise!' he told everyone in line. Everyone began to place their groceries onto the fast moving belt. A few customers began bagging the food and placing it into separate carts. 'Go back and get two big turkeys,' yelled a heavyset woman, as she looked at the man. 'NO,' yelled the man. Everyone stopped dead in their tracks. The entire store became quiet for several seconds. 'Four turkeys,' yelled the man. Everyone began laughing and went back to work. When all was said and done, the man paid a total of $1,646.57 for the groceries. He then walked over to the side, pulled out his check book, and began writing a check using the bags of dog food piled near the front of the store for a writing surface. He turned around and handed the check to the young man. 'She will need a freezer and a few other things as well,' he told the man. The young man looked at the check and said, 'This is really very generous of you.' 'No,' said the man. 'Her brother was the generous one.' Everyone in the store had been observing the odd commotion and began to clap. And I drove home that day feeling very American. We live in the Land of the free, because of the Brave!!! Remember our Troops of Yesterday and Today!!!
A great example of why we should be kind and patient. Kindness is the language the blind can see and the deaf can hear.
May God's many blessings continue to be with you -ALWAYS!!!
MAY THIS KEEP GOING....IT WILL OPEN A LOT OF EYES,HOPEFULLY HEARTS, AND KEEP SOME MOUTHS SHUT.

Thursday Thirteen - 10th edition
Anticipating the next Spike joint……
Spike Lee’s new joint Miracle @ St. Anna opens tomorrow September 26. I’m not much in to war films, but I loves me some Spike, so I plan to see it.
And in honor of the new movie, I thought I’d do a Thursday thirteen on Spike Lee joint’s.
Here are my favorite Spike Lee (directed) movies:
1. School Daze – this movie came out the year before I graduated high school and had me highly anticipating college.
2. Do the Right Thing
3. Malcolm X
4. Jungle Fever
5. Mo Betta Blues
6. Inside Man
7. Clockers – two words: Mekhi Phifer, I loves me some him
8. He Got Game
9. Crooklyn
10. Get on the Bus
11. 4 Little Girls
12. When the Levees Broke (documentary)
13. She Hates Me
I didn’t really see She’s Gotta Have It. I did like Girl 6, oh and Original Kings of Comedy was funny as all get out, but it wasn’t really a movie so I didn’t add it to my list.

Voter warning???
Not sure how true this is, but in case there is some truth to it, I didn't want to pass on the opportunity of sharing.......
Please, please, please advise everyone you know that they absolutely canNOT go to the polls wearing any Obama (or whoever you are voting for) shirts, pins, hats, etc. It is AGAINST THE LAW and will be grounds to have the polling officials to turn you away. This is considered campaigning and no one can campaign within X amount of feet of the polls. They are banking on us being overly excited and not being aware of this long standing law that you can bet will be ENFORCED THIS YEAR!!!!!They are banking that if you are turned away, you will not go home and change your clothes and return to the polls to vote. Please just don't wear ANY gear of any sorts to the polls! Please share this information with as many people as you can. If you are already aware of this, please don't take it as insulting your intelligence.
Have a great day and see you at the polls on November 4th.
Peace, Blessings and Laughs

Vacation booked
Mister finally booked our anniversary trip last night. We’d put it off and toss ideas back and forth. Every time he found something, I’d start looking for something else. And that’s not to say the places he found were bad, just that nothing really excited me. Then funny enough, I came across only two places that excited me:
Temptation Resort & Spa - beachfront, all inclusive, 5 bars, 2 pools, 5 restaurants amongst other amenities. Since we don’t have kids yet, it would have been nice to not have to deal with anyone else’s while on vacation.
Golden Parnassus Resort & Spa - beachfront, all inclusive, 5 bars, 2 pools, 5 restaurants amongst other amenities, pretty much just like Temptation, but pricier.
Price ruled us out on both options. Both would have run about 1200 per person for 5 nights. Then I received an e-mail from apple vacations, and started checking there and came across reasonable options. In the end we booked thru a resort for a pacakage that includes roundtrip air and transfers as well as lodging.
This is the place we booked:
RIU Playacar - beachfront all inclusive resort offering a host of amenities.
We stayed at an RIU resort in Jamaica for our anniversary last year and was pleased, so that played a big part in choosing this resort. My only problem was the small shower/tub, it was smaller than the one I have at home. Otherwise everything was cool. The resort had various activities and the variety of food was sufficient for the pickiest eaters, namely myself.
So we are headed to Cancun Mexico for our anniversary.......I'm overly excited. I'll probably start packing next month. With the associated costs for extra luggage we plan to check in only one bag, and carry on two very small suitcases. And this will require some strategic planning.

Then I move on to the food and hair blogs.......and man I still have 290 to go, looks like my lunch time will be spent at my desk going thru my google reader!
For real tho, I don't know what I'm eating for lunch. I have exactly $2 in my purse.

Weekend recap…….
I had a good weekend. Of course in my opinion it was too dang on short. I could have used a few extra hours Saturday as well as yesterday.
At any rate, I finally saw Tyler’s new movie…….I thought it was good. I’m surprised at Sanaa’s character; she was really mean and evil. Yeah she could have been worse, but she was wrong on so many levels it made no sense. I simply loved the relationship between Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard, it made me want to call and reconnect with some friends. And I hear his movie pulled in another 7.5 million and is at number 6 on this weekend’s box office list.
Friday after the movie, I had to get home and get to cleaning, since service people were coming thru the next day. I didn’t get to bed until 1:30 am. And then I was backup by 7:30. So the service people came and was there until about 12:15 or so. I finally left the house about 1 and made my way up to Hagerstown. But I called and was told to just come thru and then we’d all hit the mall together.
When I arrived they were all into some Sci-Fi movie. It was abit creepy. This evil guy was haunting a town and had killed two people and wanted one of the children. The evil guy gave the townspeople the option of all dying or give up one of the eight children for him to raise. The townspeople met and decided to give up of the kids. And how they decided was by a bag of marbles. There were 7 white marbles and one black marble and one parent for each child had to reach in and grab a marble. At any rate the one guy who protested giving in to the demands lost his son. He later left the town. Some years later he wound up seeing his son again he had been turned into a vampire……..it was totally creepy.
The girls and I got into a big debate about it. In my opinion, they should have given up a child. I think parents should be willing to die for their children, and I’d die before I handed my child over to some evil wicked man to rise. At any rate another argument was that in the bible, it states if a man had to choose between his wife and child he should chose his wife, because they can always have another child. Another opinion was that the townspeople should have had faith that all would work out instead of giving up a child for the sake of the other’s lives.
Ok, so moving on…….we finally left and headed to the outlets for some shopping. I didn’t do too bad; I got a skirt suit, two pairs of slacks and a handbag. The handbag was purchased from BCBG for $20, it’s a cute bag I couldn’t pass up for the price.
We left the outlets and headed to the liquor store for some champagne for Sunday morning mimosa’s. But we made a pit stop in Marshall’s for jackets since the temperature was diving. And I found my blue pant suit. Next up was grub time……we headed to Outback steakhouse. After grubbing, we headed out to the casino in Charlestown. But we had an incident with a deer. The deer was well enough to run off into the woods and there was minimum damage to the car.
At the casino, I couldn’t remember the pin numbers for my atm cards, so I had no cash to play with resulting in a short time being spent there. Back at the house we sat around and chatted for about 2 more hours and finally called it a night about 3 am.
Sunday morning/afternoon we had breakfast about 2 pm and decided to watch a few movies. We saw Formula 51, some of Juno and Hard Candy. Hard Candy was too dang on drawn out for me. I think I fell asleep about 7 times and the movie was only 105 minutes. And I readily recall what it was about. Anyway, I got back on the road about 8 pm and was in the house by 9:55pm.
Hope you had a good weekend!

Sunday morning/afternoon we had breakfast about 2 pm and decided to watch a few movies. We saw Formula 51, some of Juno and Hard Candy. Hard Candy was too dang on drawn out for me. I think I fell asleep about 7 times and the movie was only 105 minutes. And I readily recall what it was about. Anyway, I got back on the road about 8 pm and was in the house by 9:55pm.
Hope you had a good weekend!

What's Sexy About Your Name |
 You are sexy because you are very dreamy. You are often lost in a lush fantasy. You are a sincere and devoted partner. You are attracted to troubled souls. You will do anything for the person you love, and in the bedroom, you aim to please. Once you fall for someone, you're hooked. You give all of yourself to make the relationship work. Of all the types, you're the most likely to have a secret fantasy life. And for you, your fantasy life can be more real than your actual life at times. |

Saturday morning
I woke up this morning at 7:15 to prepare for my tub to be re-glazed (resurfaced). They arrived about 8:30, and shortly there after I was informed there would be an additional cost for stripping..............woo's me and my pockets. They were already here so I agreed and they commenced with services.
I even got my homework done! So I can continue with my weekend knowing one of my major tasks for the weekend is completed.
As soon as they are done I can hit the outlets and commence with the rest of my weekend.
Hope you are having a good Saturday!

Weekend plans…..
I called and got a confirmation that my tub will indeed be re-glazed tomorrow morning……..so my Saturday morning will start at 7:30 am. I need to make sure we clean the bathroom tonight so that tomorrow it’s all good. I’ll tidy up the bedrooms also just in case.
Later on tomorrow I’m hitting Hagerstown Outlet for some shopping with friends. It’s about an hour and a half drive for me, so I’ll get my riding music ready tonight.
The stores I plan to hit include:
Bass
Adidas, Nike, Puma – I would like a new pair of sneakers
Kasper – I’m still trying to find a blue suit
Levis – I really need a new jean jacket
Nine West – can’t not go into this store…..although I just got my shipment from 6pm of two pairs of shoes and a pair of boots……
Perfumania – can never have enough smell good, although I really should jot down what I want
I’m not gonna go into Coach, not sure if I can go in and not make a purchase. I just got a new Cole Haan purse.
Then we’ll head back to my friends house for a night of drinking and girl talk…..LOL Sunday we’ll probably find a Waffle house or Cracker barrel for breakfast and then head on back this way.
I guess I’ll have to fit doing my homework in either tonight, tomorrow while they are doing the tub or Sunday when I get back. Of course it’s due Sunday by midnight…..LOL
Hope you have a great weekend!

I Dislike riding Metro: Thursday 13 - 9th edition
If you live in or near the Washington DC area or visited the area, chances are you've taken a ride on the subway. This week My Thursday Thirteen relates to my dislikes about riding the subway here in DC. Sure it's cool for weekend travel in and around DC. But daily commuting has it's draw backs and here are mine issues with riding on a daily basis:
Peace, Blessings and Laughs
- smells
- rowdy school kids
- cost of parking
- nasty patrons - people cough and or sneeze and don't cover their mouth/nose
- national fans
- tourists
- rude patrons - loud music even with earphones
- jerky train ride
- "brief delays"
- inconsiderate patrons - don't want anyone sitting beside them
- frequent train/track malfunctions
- uncooperative patrons - don't want to move further into the train preferring to stand by the doors which sometimes hinders others from getting on and off the train
- inconsiderate parking patrons - parking in 1.5 space or parking too close to already parked cars making it a feat for people to get in their cars

You Are 44% Interesting |
 Truth be told, you're not the most interesting person in the world. You don't put much effort into expanding your horizons. You're content to stay in your little comfort zone. You tend to get stuck in a rut, and you often bore people who spend time with you. You are predictable and somewhat narcissistic. You're too focused on yourself to see how boring you can be. You have the potential to be an incredibly fascinating person. You just have to be a little more proactive. Shake things up. Try something new. Take a risk. The worst that can happen is that you'll have an amazing story to tell! |

Kept
I Am a "Kept" Woman?
You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,
But GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)
There were times when I thought I could go no longer,
But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)
At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,
But the LORD kept my mouth shut. (Psa. 13)
Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,
But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Matt. 6:25 -34)
When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.
When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong!

I'm blessed to be "kept."

Tuesday night TV
Tonight I'm tuning in to watch:

8 pm - House - season premiere
9 pm - either a House re-run on TNT or a Law & Order re-run on USA
10 pm - either a Law & Order: SVU re-run on NBC or a Without a Trace re-run on CBS

Damn Financial Industry!
I’m still undecided and have yet to make a decision as to what to do with my 401k from my previous employer. Right now it’s just sitting there. And I’m afraid that I’m potentially losing money by doing nothing.
And what has prompted my attention back to my 401k is BOA’s recent purchase of Merrill Lynch. I’ve always said there are two companies I don’t want to get in bed with: Bank of America and Capital One. Please don’t ask, as I’m afraid I can’t remember my exact rationale behind the decisions. But it’s beginning to look like I’ll have to reconsider those very same declarations.
I’ll soon sleep with Bank of America since my current employer’s 401k is with Merrill Lynch who was just purchased for a mere 50 billion by BOA. And a more personal matter might require my limping on over to Capital One.
Damn, gotta get a move on getting some personal affairs in order!
*update*
I forgot BOA purchased Countrywide....so I'm already connected to BOA....damn!

That Heffa
I decided to make it a quick lunch and hit up the Cosi for a Cesar salad no crotons, I had to wait in a long azz line. But it’s all good cause it’s lunch time and that how it goes. So its finally my turn to place my order and the young man took my order no problem, but the young lady who just puts the dressing on and mixes looked at my salad as if it’s foreign……….WTF is wrong with her?
So I get my salad and head to the register to pay, well guess what……the cashier turns her nose up at my salad as well. So as the manager just so happens to approach, I tell her “You don’t have to turn you nose up at my food” to which she gives me the blank face……what the heck is it you don’t get. You should be able to read the writing on the top. So she goes on to ring my purchase and I gave her my coupon for $2 bucks off………yay me for clipping that coupon, my salad was on $4.72 as opposed to 6.72……anyway, when she gives me my change she leans in and apologizes for the comment and states that she didn’t mean anything by it, but my salad didn’t look like the usual salad…….heffa still mind your P’s and Q’s when dealing with people and their food.
She better hope I don’t feel like causing a commotion and writing a letter to corporate about this incident.

What’s for lunch?
Yesterday I had a baked potato with cheddar cheese and a bag of chips. No hot tea to wash it down this time. But what’s up for today? I didn’t bring my lunch in so I’m forced to find a meal elsewhere. I’m in the mood for a crab cake. But I don’t feel up to making the walk to the Chop House.
Or maybe a slice of pizza and some chips.
I have some minute rice in my drawer, I could pop that in the microwave. Some how it doesn’t sound appeasing.
I could have a salad from Cosi, but I’m trying to give up bread for at least two weeks. And I can’t have their salad without the bread.
What will I do? Maybe a popcorn and hot tea kinda day?

Monday TV
Tonight I'll be tuned in watching :
8 pm - Terminator; The Sarah Connor Chronicles - I don't normally watch this but Mister has been watching and in an effort to spend time with him I'll watch the show with him.
9 pm - Closer - it's the season finale and it's supposed to be very entertaining
10 pm - Raising the Bar - this is TNT new legal drama, I'm still on the line as to whether or not this is a good show or not. The first episode was decent, but I missed the second episode.

What Your Handbag Says About You |
 You are concerned with how you appear. Projecting your high status is important to you. You tend to be relaxed throughout the day. You are naturally at peace. You are a high maintenance person. You feel lost outside of your normal environment. You are a very creative person. Your life tends to be a whirlwind, but you always seem to pull it together. You are practical and down to earth. You tend to be a rather reserved and quiet person. |

Sad & Disappointed............
Well I did my part in attempting to get my niece. I called this morning but got no answer three different times. Her mother finally called me about an hour after my last attempted call, 3:30pm The agreement was that she'd drop my niece off at my house within an hour. So imagine my frustration at 4:30, no niece.......At 4:45 I called and she was still in house and her response was "Oh I was waiting for something to dry." She went onto to say she was about to leave the house, I told her never mind. She then asked if I wanted to come pick my niece up to which I responded naw, never mind. I told her she didn't respect my time and she wanted to know what I meant. A few more words were said, and then she raised her voice to say "I'm not gonna argue with you," my response "Don't" and I hung up.
So now I'm sitting home saddened that I won't see my niece this weekend.
Yeah I know my niece is the real victim in this, and I hate that she's caught up in the midst of mother's antics.
Peace, Blessings and Laughs
