I HEART this film short. (16:23 mins) I’ve been watching it almost everyday because there are so many valuable lessons about joy, being good to other people, and how success follows that in life and love (with the opposite also being true.)

    @V Renee… I was watching BET last night…. And I fell out when they showed T Boz last year at the Awards… Her hair didn’t have the two strands but she did have a stingy bob going on…… It looked like she had added one track on each sides in the front to give her some length…. ha Ha Ha

  44. I will not have the long pieces like T-Boz
    June 25, 2009 | 12:19 pm

    @ 80s It looked like she had added one track on each sides in the front to give her some length…. ha Ha Ha .

  56. Nicki Sunshine
    June 25, 2009 | 12:58 pm

    Okay yaw, is this enough for a man’s birthday???? I am not used to this. lol.. Keep in mind, he is turning 30.

    He’s driving here this weekend, so me and mama are gonna cook.
    Fried Chicken(her chicken is the best)
    Potatoes au Gratin (which I have never cooked but how hard can it be)
    Mac n’ cheese (me)
    Green Beans (me)
    Strawberry Cake (me)
    Rolls (me)

    since my mama is crazy and always cooking dual meals, she is also cooking meatloaf. lol

    This weekend we are supposed to go to eat for breakfast and prolly to a movie ( I wanna pay for both)

    And next week for Chicago, I booked the hotel room (it’s his birthday and I wanted to treat).

    Should I still buy a lil gift or some’n?

  57. Jaci
    June 25, 2009 | 1:01 pm

    @Nick

    I think so…something that will make him remember the weekend in Chicago…but not something hugely expensive.

    Umm..is he gonna be with you the whole week?

  58. Nicki Sunshine
    June 25, 2009 | 1:06 pm

    Nope, he’s going back to Memphis Monday but then he’s coming back Thursday.

  59. You'll never catch me slippin!
    June 25, 2009 | 1:09 pm

    @ Nicki – I don’t think you need to get him a gift. A card along with everything else will suffice. I think what you have planned is great.

    I think he’ll be appreciative whatever you do.

  60. You'll never catch me slippin!
    June 25, 2009 | 1:10 pm

    Yeh…Mama Jac was like that’s why women need to stop letting men do that .

    Huh. Im confused. And who called you talking about paying money?

    @Nick…. One of my friend’s recently did a 30 random things for her bf’s 30th birthday… She actually bought 30 of his favorite random things….. But since you’re already doing some stuff maybe you can write up something about 30 reasons why you’re happy that he’s in your life or something like that to go with everything else.

  64. Nick's bf must stop lurking immediately!!!!!
    June 25, 2009 | 1:17 pm

    Resume conversation…. LOL

  65. Hey Nicki's bf!! (whispering to 80's - Is he really lurking)
    June 25, 2009 | 1:20 pm

    She actually bought 30 of his favorite random things….. But since you’re already doing some stuff maybe you can write up something about 30 reasons why you’re happy that he’s in your life or something like that to go with everything else. .

    This is a great idea!

    @ Nicki – You can’t forget the card. I love getting cards.
