I had pretty much forgotten about this thing....then a friend posted a comment and I remembered that I have a blog. Trying to figure out if I want to start blogging again and what direction I will take it in.

Ok what has my love life looked like since last V-day ? I am totally drawing a blank....did I date at all this year? Oh yeah...There was the Haitian Lover who claimed he loved me after 2 dates. He was a great lay, and fun to be around but he worked about 20 hours a day!There was Something New.... went out on about 3 or 4 dates but I didnt really see a future with him.There was Mr. Perfect Teeth..

So I have been dropping hints to my lawyer for the past 2 weeks that a 2/14 closing would be an amazing Valentine's Day gift. Yesterday she finally told me that we maybe able to pull it off. So based on that I set my move date for 2/23/08.  So I am officially on a 2 week count down to move date. I have so much to do....I need to make a to do list to make sure I get everything done.YEAH ME!

I know you guys have probably heard it so many times already.... but I am truly moved and excited by the potential to really have change. I have finally had my glass of the Obama Kool-Aid.I just came from letting my son cast my ballot in NYC Primary, with the Audacity to Hope that one day he will be able to tell his grandkids...." I cast a ballot that year even though I was only 11, I cast the

So I have lived on the border of Bedstuy for 6 years now reaping all the amenities of Ft. Greene and Clinton Hill. My upcoming move is deeper and truly in the heart of Bedstuy. I am in the process of wrapping my mind and heart around the idea and what it will truly mean to the lifestyle I have become accustom to. For instance.... Currenty I live a block and a half away from the local train and 3

It has been a long time coming and i was beginning to get a little scared that it would't happen. But tomorrow morning I am meeting with my lawyer to sign away the next 30 years of my life.

For some reason I have began to think about the men have come in and out of my life over the past 12 months since Valentine's Day 2006...1. There was K... we hung out until late April. I had questions about his sexuality and he probably does also.2. There was J..... who didn't work out because I couldn't handle his clothing choices ( much deeper story here).3. There was C.... we still spend time

So I decided to do something about my disappointment in the proposed salary increase offered in conjunction with my promotion at work. More to come soon...

So... I was being recruited by a Bank and being fast tracked thru the interview process, when I hit a speed bump. I don't know if I should take it as a sign from the universe that this position is not the right move for me to make.In other news my current employer offered me a promotion and a new market to oversee. I am a excited for the change of scenery and a new challenge but, I am a little

So Friday was Andre's 30+1 birthday and I decided to throw him a party. Andre has been in my life for 7 years now and I am a much better person for it! Any way.. I love giving parties and won't let Andre give no for an answer. I surprised him witha formal sit down dinner for 12 folks.Originally we were going to do a murder mystery party. But then Andre changed his mind and said all his friends

Just working out, smaller portions & no starbucks Mochas in the morning!Looking forward to sharing good news with you soon!

So I missed my workout yesterday...cause my friend offered to buy me lunch at Haru, a great sushi spot not to far from the office. Ok I know you didnt think I was gonna make a 180 change over night! However I was pretty good. I had the Lunch special and when I was full.... I stopped eating. This is HUGE for me, because when something tastes great I will clear my plate on GP. Dont know if you have

So after a night of partying and climbing into bed at 3:30am ...my boy called me at 8:15am to say he'd be to our train stop in 35 mins to hit the gym. I mumbled something back I guess it was something like "cool" and rolled over. My mom called at 8:19am and I mumbled something else into the phone... she tells me to call her when I get up. I am laying there in my bed trying to will my body up at 8

So I went to the movies last night to see Children of Men with my boy Rico & was feeling quite gross. I haven't been able to fit into some of my favorite outfits for at least 3 months now, but have taken very little initiative to do anything about it. I am FAT!!!I got on the scale and it yelled back at me 187.6 mind u this time last year I was 170. That is damn near 20 lbs for no good reason. I

I went ice skating in prospect park on Sunday with Russatta, Oshadi & Medhane after a night of crazy partying at reggae retro with Lesley. I almost didnt make it cause I was just a tad hung over. But I one made a committent to spend more quality time with my son in the '007 and two I had invited Russatta along and was still feeling bad that due to my bad time management on Saturday, she elected

What were you doing as 2006 slipped into 2007? I was standing in Prospect Park watching the fireworks with my 10 year old son. I decided early on in the week that I was going to bring in the New Year with him as opposed to dropping him off and partying somewhere. I fought temptation all week long. First I got an invite to party in DC, then I got an invite to a party at a friend of a friend's new

But I still need to drop 35 lbs! This is me Saturday night at my GirlFriend Lesley's Born Day Fete. We had a fab time and drank way too much. Lesley is an amazing woman, she is the type of friend that everyone should have at least one of. I can say whatever and we can agree to disagree. I dont have to worry if she is gonna take something the wrong way cause she rolls with the punches and will

Never the less I am going to post my 2007 goals here and ask that all help me hold to them!1. Get Healthy- I was doing so well and then I fell off the wagon around April 2006.

Ok So I almost had a break down yesterday...wanted to give up so bad it hurt. I thought about going downstairs and making a tuna fish sandwich. I thought about skating over to habana outpost and ordering a mexican corn and maybe an avocado sandwich. I am walking around with $4 in my pocket so I can't buy starbucks or sushi or anything for that matter. I leave my ATM card at home so that I cant

What is the definition of an alpha female... and am I one? A good buddy of mine called me an Alpha female the other day and I laughed cause I always call him an alpha male. In truth I am attracted to Alpha males and have been as long as I can remember....but are alpha males attracted to alpha females and is that a part of my issue with finding a suitable partner?

And it didnt look good.... I need to purge now.Too much clutter in my apartment and in my life. I am taking the weekend to throw out the things I have collected but dont really need. I mean if I havent touched something in over a year or 2 or 3 years in some cases, I guess I dont really need it. I gotta stop holding on to stuff just because.

"This morning, I woke up Feeling brand new and I jumped up Feeling my highs, and my lows In my soul, and my goals" Ok so maybe I was a little tired and didn't really want to get out of bed cause it was calling out to me everytime I sat up and tried to make myself head to the shower. But I am feeling brand new of late. I am in a good place in my life overall...and even though thing aren't 100%

So I am going to be 31 years old! There is no looking back now, it is the onward march toward 40. How do I feel? Sometimes I still feel 18, and when I look at folks who are in my age box I don't think I look like them at all. I mean I don't look like I have a son who is starting middle school in the fall do I? I can still wear super short mini skirts with cute t-shirts and flip flops and not look

So even though the comment was anonymous I know it was my Sister who demanded a garden update....Well folks Oyo has been hard at work in the garden...and I have even said quite elegantly and aloof to others that..." I think I am going to work in the garden tonite." I felt quite lady like and sophisticated saying it too. Very tea & crumpets u know so enough suspense here is an updated shot....The

I am in Michigan visiting my older sister Lolobo... Got in late last night and we were supposed to catch some jazz in Detroit but when we got there at 10pm the kitchen had just closed down and the band was done for the night...no stress cause i was a little tired anyway. Got up this morning and walked to the coffee spot...why was I the only person walking? i always forget that folk dont really

my dad & iSo many of my friends know that I was raised in a polygamous family. I have a total of 30 brothers & sisters. We were all raised together as one big happy (most of the time) family. I had 5 mothers growing up and 1 dad. All this to say I have recently been completely enthralled by the new HBO series Big Love. I watched all 6 episodes the other day back to back on my HBO on Demand and

Ok so I have always said that I like a lot of attention when it comes to being in a relationship now I find myself fending off the attentions a gentleman who I have only known for about a week and he has joking referred to himself as my husband TWICE! I had to tell him today that I thought that it was inappropriate and asked him not to make that joke anymore because it makes me uncomfortable. He

So to clear up the apparent confusion posted above are pics of my actual yard/ garden to be. The weather has been beautiful and I think that my next door neighbor was inspired by my cleaning cause they have cleaned their yard some also. I still wanna put up fencing though to make my garden a bit more private...even if my upstairs neighbors will still be able to look down into my yard.I'll post

This weekend I worked in the yard!!I had been planning all week to plant flowers in my backyard this past weekend and I went to Home Depot with my Mom to shop. I knew what I wanted Tulips and Daffodils and Hyacinth. Cause they are pretty and smell good too! Just walk up Park Avenue and you will see what i mean about tulips and daffodils together! So anyway I get to Home Depot and walk around for

So I turned 30 last year and am getting ready to turn 31 in 2 months. Now for the longest time I believed that it is very hard if not impossible to make great friends after college. But lo and behold this past summer I was blessed with the opportunity to make a new friend. How she came into my life is a story unto itself and maybe told another day.....So we have been hanging pretty tight since

Spring is HERE! and my legs are bare... this is my most favorite time of the year! I am happy and beginning to feel rejuvenated. I want to put on my roller blades and skate through my streets in my denim miniskirt and locks hanging free. I tell you there is no place I rather be than Brooklyn USA in the spring. The free concerts are on their way and so is the Soul Summit house party that takes

So I am in a foul mood today as I write about my perfect lover....1. At Least 7" of manpower (see I am not being greedy)2. At least 6'3 of height3. Coco Chocolate Skin4.

Sometimes I look and can't believe that you saw me when I was too scared to see you....She knew He long before she looked up into his eyes that day. she knew that he was coming... that he would demand much of her, and require nothing of her. So she played the hide & seek game of her youth even though she appeared to many as an adult. She hid in relationships with any man that was not He. She

So the other night in my epistemology class we were discussing the future... can the future be predicted? Pause before you answer cause this shit gets u in deeper than you think..1. we make decisions about the future/ present based on the assumption that the future will resemble the past. ie. if I drop this glass it will hit the floor.

Her hips move of their own accord and push up to meet him...they are begging & pleading silently...communicating as the deaf do, only through the beauty of their movement."Don't move" he commands sternly. But his command falls upon deaf ears because she has relinquished all control.... her hips dance upward...pulsating to some rhythm that only the deaf can hear... So he pulls back and refuses her

....so if you live in NYC then you know that everybody and their mother has dreadlocks. It use to be a time when you could use hairstyle to quickly mull through the crowd, no longer! back in the day if a cat had dreadlocks more than likely he was vegetarian, culturally aware, artistic, intellectual, and spiritual...or some combo of three or more of these. Now a days locks are more than likely

....I didn't hear from him all that week. and then on the 7th day it happened...Dude called. "Peace" I say to the unfamiliar number displayed on my cell phone. "Yeah...this is Dude" That first conversation must have lasted about an hour and I have no clue as to what we talked about all I remember is us promising to talk later. We wound up spending that entire summer together for the most part,

My soul sistah Niki posed the question....what does it mean to fall in love? what does it mean to BE in love? how does it make you feel? how many times have you been in love? is falling in love really that rare? As I entered into 2005 I posed a very similar question to myself...."Is love a unicorn?" let me explain....if you ask anyone, any age- what a unicorn is they can tell you. they can

Have you seen that Nike ad about a woman loving the size of her butt? I love it! But to be perfectly honest I have a love hate relationship with my booty. I mean I will go all out to find the perfect pair of booty jeans that hug me just right but complain all the way through about why the waist and hips dont both fit... My booty is envied by some and pitied by others. My booty has even had a song

So this past Sunday was the 2nd gathering of the Young Black & Beautiful Brunch. Russatta hosted it....and did an amazing job! This was her first ever time hosting any type of gathering and to do it for 20 folks is a task to say the least. As always we had a blast... in addition we have given ourselves a task.. for the April gathering each of us are going to bring a protege between the ages of 8

Yeast, Flour, Butter, Salt, Sugar, Water....The ingredients sit on the kitchen table and I conjure up an image of my Grandma as I start to mix them together to make the bread ...once the yeast is mixed with the warm water I now smell my Grandma also..... and her image begins to move in my mind. I see her sitting at the funny shaped kitchen table kneading the bread with her huge powerful arms. We

I lay in bed and he lays next to me.. we just talk and bullshit. Ever so often our legs brush or our hands touch as we punctuate a word, thought or story with body movement. Jazz is playing in the background and the Brooklyn night sounds blend in with Coltrane. A voice I find irresistible begins to sing the words to a song I love..."who is this?" I question and challenge him. He lists a few names

So I walk into my local Starbucks this morning as I do every morning and the barista calls out my drink as he does every morning, cause I have what some may call a habit and he knows my drink before I open my mouth.... So I feel someone looking at me, and turn around. There he is, gotta be at least 6'5 but i am not sure cause I dont have my heels on and my dimensions are a little thrown off. But

Ok we are the same age but technically I am 7 months older than she is so I am the big Sis, anyway she decided to have a roller skating party at the historical Empire Roller Rink in BKLYN. I was so excited because all my brothers and sisters can skate to some degree cause my dad loved to skate, and Empire is where it all happened. Anyway I talked mad

So do you make a move to a new company for more $$$ but less power? that was my dilema. As much as I wanted the money something was pulling me back from accepting the offer. I was really hoping that my company would make a good enough offer to make me want to stay. There was so much doubt too many questions and I honestly feel that when the universe speaks to me her voice is loud and clear and

"pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps," meaning to leverage yourself to success from a small beginning.I am a bootstrapper, and so are most of my tribe. We have the desire to be winners and a willingness to do the necessary work to get there. When you think of me.....I am that runner that may have gotten of to a slow start because I didnt have all the advantages like an expensive trainer or

Today I hosted the first YBB Brunch....What is YBB? It stands for Young Black and Beautiful! I like that classification much better than Buppie or any of the other terms that are floating around for young Black professionals that are making it happen.
