Sorry I missed wishing you guys a Merry Christmas so Merry (belated) Christmas. Yeah that sounded sincere. LOL We've been off work since the 23rd and have been in quite the slumber during our love week at Chateau De Lazee'. Outside of visiting the family, doing a little shopping to catch some post holiday deals and celebrating Mistah's b-day we've been in the house most of the time (hunchin'). #welivetheglamorouslife
#freakythatwasforyou
Annnnnnnnywaaaaaay, I hope the holiday season was great for you all and that the upcoming new year is pregnant with promise.......if you're lucky with twins!!
xoxo!!!
And now for the last musical selection of 2010...................
I was so nervous about the install, specifically the service person's ability to show up on time....if at all. You guys know the deal especially when given the dreaded appointment slot time frame. Well ours was from 9-11 am and I'm happy to report he made it here right before ten. So far, we are thoroughly impressed with what U-Verse has to offer. The service has so many wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL features! Wanna know what I'm most excited about? The health and fitness on demand option. I'll never have to buy another fitness DVD ever again!!
Freaky, Barista and Southern were correct, it's great! Needless to say, I highly recommend it as well. If you ain't got it.....GET IT!!!!
And now for a musical selection...........................
I'm watching the Mariah Carey (aka Freaky D's future baby mama) Christmas special. The only thing I keep thinking is why must she insist on wearing those too short dresses. When I say her 'fits are barely grazing the surface..........
The j-o-b gave us a free half day this past Friday. Part of that time was lunch catered by the cafe (run by Ar.a.ma.rk) next door. It wasn't mandatory that we attend. I didn't. I haven't eaten there (or the food they prepare) since I received a not so pleasant lunch entree' and also confirmation that one of the cooks (who I already gave the side-eye to) was way past unsanitary. I'll pass on the nutsack sammies TYVM!
A co-worker and I opted to go eat at our favorite restaurant in the River Market The Flying Fish.
I had to take the car in for some work so she and another co-worker (that joined us after the our respective lunches) followed me to drop my car off and we went to the movies to see....get this. Burlesque. Bwahahahahahahahahaha It's definitely not the type of movie I would have chosen BUT we were looking to do something and one of us (not I) loves those types of films so there ya go. All in all, it wasn't that bad. Not the greatest movie but entertaining nonetheless.
I want to watch "The Nutcracker" really bad. Hopefully it will be on soon.
Mistah and I upgraded our cells this weekend. A BB Torch for me and a newer iPhone for him. I'm still trying to get used to the touchscreen. Thank goodness it has the qwerty keyboard for transitioning folk like me.
Wow, Mariah's mom has a beautiful voice. It sounds like she was classically trained in opera.
We are making the jump to AT&T U-Verse this weekend. Anyone know anything about their service? Should we call and cancel before they come to do the install? No really, should we? The main thing guiding our decision is that for the money we pay now, we will get TONS more stuff (in addition to what we already have) including TV One (which I only get to watch while I'm in Memphis) and bookoos of sports crap for Mistah. Oh and yes MrsTDJ, a DVR. LOL I think we are probably one of the few people in the country that has survived without one. I still don't think I'll use it much but hey only time will tell.
I'm black and I love cold weather!!! LOVE.IT! Well, except when it's really windy or when its so cold\icy the power goes out. Even I admit that sucks.
I also love Tabitha's (on Salon Takeover) haircut. It is most bad ass. Anyone watching? I know the format of the show is pretty much the same each week but her ability to rip assholes effectively is really impressive. Did you all see last week's episode with those folks living in that nasty, junky house? UGH! I don't see how she slept on that couch!!!
Who watched the Real Houseslores of ATL last night? Have you drawn up your friend contracts yet? I'm almost finished with my first batch.
Oh yeah, annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd there will be a Teen Mom 2. If the original Teen Mom ends, I hope they at least do a finale season. I need closure!!!
The token crazy bitch on my team has been identified and it only took her three weeks to show her true colors. Throwing temper tantrums and storming out of meetings does not a professional make and that's all I gotsta say about that.
I almost bought my first Christmas present this weekend. I was going to pick up a copy of 'Despicable Me' for the boys. I looked all over the electronics department for that DVD. Figuring it was sold out, I asked one of the cashiers....ya know just to confirm. The thing doesn't come out until Tuesday. *sigh*
If you've never seen Black Dynamite, please do yourself a favor and go rent or buy it. In the words of Barista, best.shit.ever.
Ummmm, what else? Nothing. I'm out.
And now for a musical selection.................................
In all my days, I have never had as many issues with tires on a vehicle as I have in the past 30 days. Flats, screws\other miscellaneous objects, tire patches\new tire....OH MY!
Yes I know (most) elections over but in AR Gal's world, it ain't over until the fat lady (with ginormous boobs that hang to her belly button and wears no bra at my job) sings. I don't hear her yet so here we go.
Is this appropriate interview attire? Press 1 for yes OR 2 for no.
I had to come back and add some thoughts. Maybe it's just my style (which apparently is a lot simpler) but this seems a bit extra....especially for a job interview. Well, unless it's for a job at Sears or something, which it's not. I haven't worn a pure red suit (with shiny gold buttons (the ones featured are leopard print to match the ensemble TYVM) since my high school graduation pictures. No worries, you will NOT be seeing any pic's of that massacre. In her defense, I've heard red is a power color but do we really need this much strength?
Please note, this ain't me....DUH!
And now a musical selection while you cast your votes...........
as some of you have probably either heard or seen of this show before butScare Tactics on the SyFy network is the best thing since sliced bread. Mistah and I sat and watched three plus mindless hours of it. I kept delaying my need for a shower and he even skipped Monday Night Football because it was just that funny. I will have to make a mental note to watch this next week because it's a keeper!
Here's a clip of one of the jokes played-one of the best ones in my opinion.
Well folks, I done seen it all....and I mean ALL!!! If you'll recall in this post, I shared with you some of the work attire dawned by one of the temps. I'm here to tell you Space Jam Jordans ain't got shit on the new chick in town.
The picture is fuzzy so I'll assist. Ladies and gents, in essence, this is what you see.
THIS BROAD HAS BEADS IN HER HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was so dumbfounded when I saw this mess that I had to look at the girl thrice to make sure it wasn't someone's child. No such luck. I was lucky enough, however, to have my trusty phone on hand to capture this moment in time because otherwise I'm not sure you all would have believed me. I'm still not sure I believe it myself. I was hungry at the time, after all, so this may have been a mirage. Yeah, that's it. I made myself see candy coated goodness in her hair because it was time for my afternoon snack.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
And now for a musical selection...................................
to see next year. I'm usually not a fan of paying to see chick flicks. Most of the plots are too cutesy and predictable for my taste. More times than not, when I watch them online I usually find myself hitting the FF button or just stop watching altogether. Unless it's really funny. In case you all have never figured it out, the key to AR Gal's heart is laughter. Lots and lots and lots of laughter! For whatever reason, the trailer for this movie struck a chord with me. I think it has more to do with the cast than anything else (and it looks funny) so I will go with my first mind and plan to check it out. Lord willing.
Are these cute? Y or N Are these work appropriate? Y or N Would you wear these? Y or N
Proposition BF Ugly- Should these be taken off the shelves, burned and barred from recreation ever? Y or N
Okay, so I know several of you guys read Creole's site. She had a HotMESS\NESS post recently that featured these shoes. Imagine my surprise when I actually saw a pair live and in living color this week being worn by someone at work.
AT WORK. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRK.
To her defense, the dress code at our place of employment is fairly laid back but not so much that you won't get called out for trying to get away with wearing coochie cutters. Oh and she did. Not the she I'm talking about in this post....a different she. BUT, that's a another post for another day. The she I'm referencing is a temporary employee. Since we make a good chunk of $ during the holiday season, the organization brings in temps for the call center during the last quarter to help handle call volume.
I saw them as I was walking down to the break area on our floor but turned away when she caught me staring. I snuck another glance when she turned her head but quickly turned away again after I realized my mouth was wide open. #closeyamoufgirl!
I don’t usually post about the real housewives but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention last night’s epic episode. Sex, lies and surgical tape….OH MY!!!
Let’s start with Sheree’ “Who gon’ check me boo” Whitfield.Her showmance with “Dr.” Tofo leaves a lot to be desired and a bad taste in my mouth. No seriously, I think I threw up a little watching them. If this results in me becoming more familiar with bulimia, I’m totally going to sue Bravo (but not before I buy new size 6 jeans). *Sarah Palin wink* It’s obvious that this mess between them is as fake as his credentials but hey that’s what makes for good TV right?
And why oh why did she not just simply tell him NO when he kept forcing his thumb in her face to lick the cookie dough.Sad as it may seem, some people just don’t respond to and\or understand body language. You would think leaning the opposite direction would have been enough but alas it wasn't so. I personally would have cussed him out. Don't underestimate the power of a good tongue lashing people!!! Besides, a man with a hair part as wide as the Red Sea is NOT to be trusted…in any capacity...ever. #letmypeoplegooooooooo
Next up-Phaedra “Pickles” Parks. This girl swears she is thisclose with all things classy and artistic. Based on her behavior thus far, we all know she wouldn’t know either if it slapped her in the face. The photo shoot…..Lord Jesus.Okay, so I got the play on props, as we all did….pregnancy….cravings….pickles….womp womp. Wouldn’t it have been enough to stop at just posing with the jar? Did we really have to watchthem give fellacio to a pickled cucumber? What exactly did you learn in jail Apollo????
I don’t like the fact that when someone mentions RBC’s I will now think of Kim Zolciak instead of roast beef.
The Last (Mother’s Day) Supper. Most of you all were on FB last night laughing, hollering, crying right along with me because hey, it was just that funny. I almost gave myself strep I laughed so hard. My throat is still a little scratchy.
Honestly? I can’t even do it justice with words you’ll just need to watch (or re-watch) this scene for yourself However, I did agree with a couple of things…namely:
1.Pickles is lying about when that baby was conceived
