Shouldn't this child be watching Dora....

.......instead of videos?



Ok, so the kid is cute but her actions are not. I was highly disturbed by her trying to gyrate like Bianca Lucretia Knowles. People...do better.

SNOW DAY!!!

I am currently at home on my couch....the best place in the world!!

Free snow days are the greatest!!!

Monday, December 15, 2008

This is Pinnacle Mountain.....

view from the very top!



and this is me (and Emma) at the very top!!


WHAT?! You didn't actually think I'd show my face! lol This was actually the best pic of me. Z is not the greatest photographer and kept snapping my pic when I was taking pics or when I had crazy facial expressions. I have advised him not to quit his day job! lol

I did actually go all the way this time and it wasn't that far from where I stopped the last time we climbed. I will have to keep that in mind when and if I feel like throwing in the towel next go round. It was very windy as you can see by my hair whipping around but the cooler weather seemed to be to my benefit. I'm SO not a tropical person and prefer cold temps -vs- walking around sweating in the heat all day. Anyway, we stayed up there for about 10 or 15 minutes and headed back down, came home, and crashed hard.

All and all, it was a good way to spend part of the day. I can honestly say, I look forward to doing it again.......while it's cold. lol

One monkey don't stop no show....

.....but they sure do move mighty quick. Z called me into the den to see the video clip of a journalist chunkin a shoe at ya'lls soon to be former (THANK GOODNESS!!) President Bush's head.

Him: Come look at this dude!
Me: What dude?
Him: Bush
Me: Ehhhh, I'll pass
Him: No this guy just threw his shoes at him. Hurry about they are about to replay it.
Me: *running into the den*
Him: (while laughing) Boy those chimpanzee's (referring to Bush) sure do know how to move fast
Me: Bwahahahahahahahahaha

I only wish one of those shoes had molly whopped him upside the head. That would have truly made my day.

Week in Review

This has been a rather sucky week for AR Gal. I'll do an overview of this weeks events.

Sunday-Wednesday
Bruised Bone in foot

Wednesday evening-the wee hours of Thursday morning
Foot returns to normal but receive perm burn from hell that kept me up practically all night.

Later on Thursday morning
Accidentally backed into someones car door at work *sigh* Both cars were just slightly scratched and the scratches coul have been buffed out. Offered to pay to avoid insurance claim. Other driver declined. Oh well...it was their choice. I accept responsiblity.

Friday
Rather uneventful....thank gawd!! Went to see "The Day the Earth Stood Still". AR Gal rates the movie a firm "I Could Have waited to See that on Cable".

Saturday morning
Going to climb the mountain for sure today. Wish me luck!

Ironically my previous post is about not complaining about simple shit and most of this stuff is so I won't BUT this has definitely NOT been my Best Week Ever. lol

Tuesday, December 09, 2008

AR Gal PSA.......

..............please stop complaining about simple shit. Life could be much worse.

That is all.

I was going to say something else but I copied and pasted this from Freaky's blog with his answers and he mentioned the Winter Wonderland exhibit that he visited growing up. They had one in Memphis @ Goldsmiths downtown that I went to every year with my Mama and Granny. The first time I remember going was when I was about 4 or 5. It was the neatest thing ever!!!! And yes Freaky you're right, it really was beautiful. We took my niece and nephew to it about 5 years ago. The location has sinced changed and while the exhibit was not as vast as it was when I was younger, I swear the same sense of excitement and euphoria set in. I think I got a little teary eyed because of the memories it brought back to me. WHAT?! Yes I can be a lush!! SHUT IT!

It's a regular old 6 1/2 inch green artificial tree.

Do you take part in a secret Santa?

How early do you wake up on Christmas morning?

I have no set time. I just get up whenever the spirit moves me.

Do you still get a stocking?

I purchased stockings last year on clearance after the holidays so this is the first time we have some to hang. There's nothing in them though. I'm putting lumps of doo doo balls in Emma's if she doesn't cease and desist with the poo poo platters. lol I asked Z what he was putting in mine and he said my present was already in there. I looked over to the mantle and told him it looked rather empty. He says its full of air...something we all need. I HATE HIM!! LMAO!

Zero. It's funny because I used to send them out all the time when I was in college but I just stopped. Oh well....

It varies.

It's a toss-up between my Easy Bake Oven and my first Cabbage Patch Doll.

Does December 25 feel too short or too long usually? I wouldn't say too long but it does seem to last forever.

White lights IMO.

Does your dog have its own stocking?

Yes, my furbabies have stockings.

Have you ever used a real sock for a stocking?

Nerp. Wouldn't it make sense to not have one if a regular sock was your only option?

Prefer fruit or nuts in your stocking?

I think I'd rather have air in it. LMAO!!

Do you buy stuff to put in your family’s stockings?

This is the first year for it so we shall see.

What’s the weirdest thing you ever got in a stocking?

Air. Lemme quit. LMAO! These stocking questions are killin me softly....for real.

This is a really dumb question

Rather spend the holidays with family or friends?

Already??!!

It seriously just dawned on me that it's December, 7 whole days into the month. It's official, I'm slowly but surely losing my marbles.

This weekend has been rather uneventful. Z and I had plans of going to climb Pinnacle Mountain again Saturday but that fell through. I remember him telling me he had a dentist appt. Friday afternoon but what he neglected to tell me (or what I may have tuned out) is that he was having his wisdom teeth pulled. I knew as soon as I got home from work that climbing the mountain was out of the question. I'm still surprised he drove himself home. I remember being extremely sleepy after having mine removed. I would probably still be @ the doctor's office had he not been there to drive me. lol Oh well, there's always this weekend. Hopefully the weather will hold up.

The baddest bitch aka Emma has been giving us fits this past week. She's reverted back to her puppy ways and days by pooping in the house. Can you say NASTY??!! Most times have been on a towel we leave on the floor by the door to the backyard, but she also hit up the Christmas tree skirt one day (RME) and an area right by the bedroom door Saturday morning. I'm still hot about the tree skirt and Z is just pissed in general but oh well, this is what we signed up for. Anyway, we've gone back to basic training with her this weekend. Out every two hours on a leash (because she sometimes likes to just play instead of handling her business outside when we know she has to go), repeating the poop/potty keywords outside, and kenneling her up at night until she gets on the good foot. Hopefully her temporary bout of amnesia will go away soon so that we can be free of in home doo doo balls. BLECH!

I have phlucked up yet another body part. I took the dogs walking early Saturday morning since we weren't going to the mountain. The walk was great but when we returned home, I noticed the side of my right foot was hurting something awful. After sitting down to rest, it dawned on me what was wrong. A bruised bone. I've had one before in my big toe and the pain is quite similar. There's nothing honestly that can be done about it except to rest, apply ice, and wear flat shoes for awhile. Booooo!! That sucks because ya'll know how I love me some heels! Thankfully I still have some of my pain meds leftover from my prescription for my muscle spasm thing I had in my back which I'm sure will reappear just as soon as the bruising in my foot goes away. Trust me...my luck is just like that. I need to get on the good foot myself and explore different ways and techniques to strengthen my body so that I'm not as susceptible to injury. At the rate I'm going I will be the old lady hollering "I've fallen and I can't get up". lol

That's pretty much the weekend in a nutshell. Hope yours was better! :-)

All the single ladies…….

…..all the married ladies, all the divorced ladies, hell all the ladies. If you are on the lookout for a VERY cute and more importantly REASONABLE pair of boots look no further than this sweet pair right here.



http://www.naturalizer.com/shop_online/item_detl.asp?CID=boots&PID=hottie&variant_id=22554250&Size=%25%25%25%2D%25


I remember seeing these on someone’s blog once before (sorry can’t remember who) and admiring them. Being the budget conscious (ie cheap) shopper that I am, I stopped (ie fought) my trigger finger from clicking the buy button at the time and chilled out. Good thing I did because these sap suckas are on sale for $100 less than the original price! SCORE!!! They have been bought and paid for thanks to my Big Poppa and there is no longer a tightrope between me and my boots. All is well in my world of shoedome.

Now I know some folks may turn their noses up to something from Naturalizer, I know I did for a long time. Anytime I saw or heard that name I automatically thought “old folks shoes” and it is anything but. Well, I take that back. They do have some selections that still scream granny but you can find some great and comfortable selections from this place and even catch a cute purse or two. My eyes just feasted on one before I started typing this post. Damn you innernets!!!! *shakes fists*

Just a few reasons.....

.....why I can't stand people sometimes.

I got this in an email from one of my e-buds.


A teacher friend sent this to me. This is a childs name!

'Le - a'

How would you pronounce this as a child's name???
Leah?? NO

Lee - A??
NOPE Lay - a??
NO Lei?? Guess Again.
Are you resorting to tongue clicks yet??
Scroll down





It's pronounced 'Ledasha' oh yes...you read it right.
This child attends a school in Livingston Parish, Louisiana.
Her mother is ir ate because everyone is getting her name wrong. (Duh?)
When the mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, 'The dash ain't silent.' There.


If that weren't enough, I click this link to a youtube video while blog hopping. The singing McD's nugget dude ain't got nothing on this!!



I hope ya'll had a good holiday weekend. lol

Ultimate Stress Reliever.....

I've discovered the best thing since sliced bread! Because they know I am a lover of all things canine, one of my e-buddies sent this to me yesterday. It's a puppy cam!!! They are the sweetest little things!! Be sure to watch out for the one with the purple collar. He/she rocks rough and stuff, now all they need is their afro puffs!! lol I'm going to leave it up today so that when my boss works my nerve , because she will, I can sneak a peak at their angelic little faces.

I need to get one of these for our crib to make sure Emma and Cochise are not tearin up the place! lol

ENJOY!!!

It’s So Cold in the B….(uilding)

It is currently 48 degrees outside. The thermostat by my desk says it’s 65 degrees in the building. I am sitting at my desk with a jacket, scarf, and gloves on. I have drunk 4 cups of hot cocoa so far today…..I think I will drink one more before I leave. We cannot have space heaters. The warmest place in the building is the restroom. I sometimes just go in there to stand against the far wall (which is made of glass blocks) to warm up.

Funny story: My co-worker sent me an email with a story about her friends 2nd grader. Her friends little boy took a pocket knife to school last week; when his teacher asked him why, he said it was so he could whittle some sticks for a bonfire to heat the classroom!!

That kids onto something. Maybe I should build a bonfire so folks can gather around my desk to keep warm.

We normally keep the heat at around 70 when we are not at home (for the dogs). Now that I think about it, that still may be a bit warm for them. When we are at home, it goes no lower than 72. I’m cold natured and cannot stand for my feet, hands, and/or nose to be cold at any time.

What’s your office/home environment like? What’s your thermostat limbo? How low can ya go without freezing to death?

Trouble Don't Last Always......

....or does it? That's what I told my friend after hearing her last drama filled story about her boyfriend. In my previous post (The Weekend Squared), I mentioned that my BFF's little sister was staying with her. The reason why....her man is in the slammer. After a near death experience, he decided to tempt fate, uh-gane (ie again).

I guess I should start from the beginning for this to make any sense. They met a couple of years ago while she was moving from her apartment into her new house. She and her roomate at the time needed some help with the couch. Low and behold her knight in rusty armor just happened to be outside and gave them a helping hand. The rest is history because all I know is that I got a call saying that he had moved in. Hey, no biggie to me! I shack up as well so whatever but I cannot lie and say that I didn't have any concern since she hadn't known him that long....like two or three months. She's a grown-up so I didn't chastize her especially since I ain't her mama.

I went to Nashville that fall (2006) for TSU's homecoming and got a chance to meet him. He was nice, respectful, and cool as a fan. All in all I say he was on his best behavior while the girls were in town. lol A few months later after my visit I get another call.....she's pregnant. Oh vey!! She says it wasn't intentional, it just happened. I CTFU! I'm sorry but I thought that excuse was reserved for teens only. lol After we laugh, I congratulate her. She tells me she's scared and considered terminating the pregnancy but made the choice to keep it. I support her decision, of course, but I stil can't believe it. She never knew but I was in shock or at least I didn't think she did. I tried to cover my surprise by just doing what I normally do when I don't know how to deal....crack jokes and try and make everyone laugh.

Spring foward to late winter/early spring 2007. Her bf has a wreck....a really bad one. Almost took his life. They had gotten into an argument and he left the house to cool off. I can totally relate because that's what I do when Z and I get into a heated argument (read screaming match). The only difference? He likes to sip on sizzurp while he drives. Yeah you read that right...the negro decided it would be a good idea to drink and drive. *sigh* He ends up totalling his car, had to walk around with one of those halo thingamajigs on, and was out of work for couple of months until he healed. I saw pics of the wreck when I went to visit her a few weeks back. All I can say is I hoped he thanked whatever God he worships because he really is lucky to still be alive.

Summer of '07 my BFF has their little boy. He's a cutie pie too! Everything seems to be going well with them. Her bf is made a full recovery and is back at work, the baby is doing well, as is she and then.....more trouble. She had been on my mind heavily for a few weeks prior so I decided to call. We cover the basics and the gossip, then I ask about her about the baby and her bf and she says giiiiiiiiiirrrrlll, he's in ....... I ask her to repeat herself because I didn't think I heard her correctly.

Me: He's in what?
BFF: Girl, he's in jail.
Me: WTF??? Stop lyin!
BFF: *chuckles* I wish I was.
Me: WHAT? WHEN? And more importantly whyyyyyyy?

She goes on to tell me that while she was out of town for the weekend, he took a joyride in her car with their baby, decided to grab some more of that sizzurp, have a few too many sips of the sizzupr and got pulled over by 5-0. Instead of him actually pulling over, he leads the po-po on a wild goose chase, wrecks her car , and starts running with the baby until they are able to stop him. Nope, your not reading a Lifetime Movie storyline folks, this is true life....... unscripted. Luckily she was coming back into town when she got the call from the officers so she could go get the baby (who was fine...thank goodness).

Fast forward to now. Her sister moved in with her, pretty much immediately after that happened, to help her out. During my visit, I talked with her sister about how my BFF was coping because she just didn't seem to be 100%. She said that overall she's okay but it's just been hard for both of them because she was so used to her bf doing everything....cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kid while she just went to work. So she's actually getting to see what it's like to take care of a household (she's not the cleanest person I know, lol) and raise a kid. Her little sister said it's hard for her because it seems as though my BFF wants her to fill the bf's shoes while he is gone. That, IMO, is not fair. It sucks for my friend because I know she had no expectations of having to be a single parent at anytime during her relationship with this guy. It sucks for her sister too because I know she wasn't expecting to be the baby daddy of the household.

The bf gets out at the beginning of next year. I asked my friend if she planned on letting him come back into the house once he's released. She says she doesn't know but I know her too well. Her mannerisms and tone of voice translated to yes. As far as what her sister will be doing after that...I have no idea. If I were her, I would be stackin my $$ as much as possible to move out and get a place of my own. I wish them all the best and hope that he can turn his life around and put that damn bottle down....at least while he is behind the wheel. All of that drama has made me so thankful my life is full of peace, serenity, and birth control pills. lol

Hope your having a great weekend!

Holla!!

It's my 200th post. I don't have anything noteworthy to say so I'll just post this vid

The Weekend Squared

FYI....I think this may be the longest post I've ever had so read at your own risk. lol

I think I’m down from my natural high of Obama-Biden win last week so it’s probably safe to post. Lol I’ll do a recap of the past two weekends since I didn’t mention anything about my trip to Nashville (aka, Nashlanta, Nashvegas, Alantaville……*sigh*) These are just a FEW of the ways the locals describe that place. Lol More on my adventures there in a hot minute.

This past weekend was most uneventful BUT our house is mighty clean! I vacuumed, swept, mopped, scrubbed cabinets, dusted, cleaned ceiling fans, washed clothes, sheets, rugs, dogs, my hair. I think I may have even tried to wash Z’s hair! To say I got carried away is an understatement but I had to because while Z made a valiant effort at cleaning up while I was out of town the weekend prior…...his clean just ain’t my type of clean. He does just enough so it doesn’t look sloppy. Lol He recently bought a steam cleaner, ya know like the kind you can rent at the grocery store so he was ready to clean some carpet. He wants to do it once/month since we have two pets and all. I argued that was a bit extreme but hey I’m not the one doing the actual labor so whatever.

The weekend in Nashville was fun as always. I love seeing my BFF and her college buddies (who I now consider my friends as well). I left home at around 2:30 or 3 that morning so I could arrive early, not have to deal with a lot of traffic, and speed so it wouldn’t take as long. My only concern was having to deal with creatures of the Bambi variety. I would add the link from that post about my previous Disney adventure but I don’t remember when I did it so oh well. Feel free to browse the archives though. I saw a good handful of deer between Little Rock and Memphis. I just talked to them to make sure they stayed in their lane so I could stay in mine……at least until I passed them. Lol

Once I arrived we hung out for a bit and then took off to go to the pep rally. Nothing special about that but I did see some gay dudes JSetting (Jett Setting) and some trannies. I have video and pics but my cam is at home so I’ll upload later. To say it is entertaining is an understatement. We took the kids out trick or treating at the mall later that night since it was Halloween. My BFF has a 1 year old and her sister (who is now staying with her…more on that later in another post) has an 8 year old. It was boring as hell but the highlight was this lady dressed up as a Krispy Kreme employee. Her name….Kristy Crème. LMAO!! She was decked out with a KK hat, an apron, a too short dress, a white jacket to cover up the ass that showed because her dress was too short, white tights, and skripper shoes!. I tricked her into taking a pic with my friends nephew (the 8 year old) so that I could capture all her on film. I‘ll upload that too once I figure out how to block his face out.

Saturday included the parade, tailgating, and partying that night of course. Prior to us going out that evening my BFF and her sister got into it. This is nothing new to me. My BFF, her twin brother, and her sister always argue….ALWAYS! And it’s ALWAYS about the dumbest shit known to man. I’ve known them since I was 9 years old so I just shut up, listen, laugh, and wait it out. Well that evening, her sister was cooking something (I can’t remember what exactly) and my BFF made a comment about how she felt it should be done. Next thing I know her sister is going off, my friend is going off, and I head upstairs to curl my hair. Lol One of the college buddies eventually comes upstairs to where I was at and whispers, “Have they always been like this?”. I just nod my head and laugh. I told her best bet was to just stay out of the way because they would be done in about 20 minutes or so and sure enough I was right. Well it turns out little sister was REALLY po’d because she straight up left the house. LMAO! So I keep getting ready and the others do as well. About 30 minutes pass and I ask my BFF had she called her sister. She says yeah but she’s not answering the phone. Then she starts going off on a tangent about how she knew she would try and ruin this weekend for her blah blah blah. I just looked, shook my head, laughed, and told her both of them were acting like kids. Well lil sis eventually comes back and as soon as she walks through the door my BFF is all over her like white on rice. “Where did you go? ….Why didn’t you answer your phone?.....blah blah blah” I kindly (not really) told her just to shut up and let her cool off because the last thing you need right now is for your babysitter to remain po’d and leave again because we (pointing to the others) don’t need a babysitter and are going out with or without you. LMAO!

We finally get ready, give each other the girlfriend “you look good!” stamp of approval and are ready to leave out the door. My BFF takes the baby, let me remind you that he is ONE, over to her nephew (who is EIGHT) and sits the baby on his lap and says perky as hell, “I’m ready!”. *blink blink blink*

Me: Are you going to go upstairs and tell your sister we are leaving so she knows the kids are down here by themselves?
BFF: She’s not even talking to me, what am I supposed to say?
Me: Are you for real?
BFF: silence
Me:*pushing her in the bedroom so the kids don’t hear me cuss her out* Seriously, both of ya’ll are way too old for this shit. She’s not talking to you? What are you supposed to say? That boy is eight years old…your baby is ONE use some common sense.Take your black ass upstairs and tell your sister, who is gracious enough to watch your child, that we are leaving.
BFF: But…..
Me: Put on your big girl panties and grow the fuck up….for real.

So she does and we leave. After we all got in her ass in the car, we did surprisingly have a very nice time that night and a remainder of the weekend. Sunday was a relax day and Monday I left. All in all a fun time was had even if I did almost have to choke a beesh.



Friends….gotta love ‘em.

Wednesday, November 05, 2008

YES WE DID!!!


I am so full of joy and pride right now…..truth be told I’m OVERJOYED!!! I sat on the phone with some of my friends watching the results come in and we discussed the what if’s (i.e. the ReThug’s steal it again) then……then……this happened.

(The crowd in Grant Park, at 10:00 when the election was called for Obama)




We all hollered, screamed, and cried. I don’t think I’ve said OMG so much in my life at one time. Z was SO excited and happy! We laughed (I cried so more) and hugged just enjoying the moment. I jumped off the phone with my friends and called my mom. Ya’ll….*smdh* she and her friend were WAY more crunk. Lol She was visiting her friend in my hometown and told me people were shooting their guns outside. All I heard, was “Yeah keep on shootin ‘em, aaaaaallll night!!!”. I was DONE. LMAO!!I called my sisters and of course their kids were excited. It means a lot to them too, but now they know that something that once was considered impossible to do is a possibility for them. For that alone, I am grateful.

With that being said…enough with all the mushy stuff.

LET’S CELEBRATE!!!!
