I am grateful to be sane!! people really will try to make you think you are crazy
okay I am salaried right? but if I work a holiday I get a holiday stipend and a day off (to be used later at my discretion) …well our company recognized July 3rd as the holiday as well as the Saturday..
it was my weekend so I worked both….
my manager is a little absent minded so I asked her if she submitted my holiday pay for fri and sat
she said.. well you only get paid for 1..
and then asked me.. why would you think you got holiday pay for both?
uhhhh BIATCH cause I worked both!!!
long story short….
I got both but I had to take it all the way up the chain and my pansy azz co managers were like.. girl just be lucky you got that and let it go…
…….I have learned to pick my battles but I fights ALL of them when it comes to my money….
so yeah I aint crazy…
and I am grateful for that
“…….I have learned to pick my battles but I fights ALL of them when it comes to my money….”
@Shay: I’m so glad you fought. Your manager must BE CRAZY.
Grateful for:
-Everything the Lawd has done

Im grateful for another day of the joy God gives, i no longer have those days where one minute im up and the next im down.
Im constanly being blessed and growing more in the word.
My faith is off the charts and i pray the lord allows me to trust him the same way i do today, 50 years from now.

Good Morning lovely ladies and gentleman of the treehouse.
I am grateful for a week away from my children while they are out experiencing life beyond the concrete pavements and asphault playgrounds of the city.
I am grateful for God showing up in my life and on time. Always on time.
I am grateful for having a best guy friend who can fix computers, cook and let me cras at hishouse this week so I didn’t have to be alone in my apartment.
Im grateful for a repaired reformed netbook so I can let my fingers trail across the key board and bless the world with mygift.
I am grateful to FINALLY finish a publication after 8 months and 30,000+ miles of travel.
I am grateful for the blessings I know God has in store for me in the coming weeks. Trying to speak it into reality and stand on faith, but I feel like I’m holding my breath.
And I am grateful for all those things I sometimes take for granted.
my posts keep going to spam
Good Morning!!!
I am grateful for another day (as always).
I am grateful to be able to find humor in ignorance.
I am grateful for my ninja skills that allow me to cleverly sneak to my desk and act like I’ve been here longer than I have.
Oh and I am grateful for rest this weekend. I have been going on fumes this week. At first I was slap happy, but now I’m over it and want to REST!
@ Shayd – Glad you got your money! People will try to test you.
@ Mikki – My faith is off the charts and i pray the lord allows me to trust him the same way i do today, 50 years from now. . Awwwwwww this is great!
@ offey – Congratulations on finishing your publication!! That’s exciting.
” I am grateful for my ninja skills that allow me to cleverly sneak to my desk and act like I’ve been here longer than I have.”
lol. I love black people.
Morning, y’all. TGIF!!!
I’m grateful for energy…I’m going to need it because we have a busy weekend ahead of us. We have a lot to do & I just want it to be a productive weekend. I’m already considering taking Monday off.
@V: Why thank ya! It IS exciting; i just hope it’s received well. I’m going on a “marketing” trip next month to see how it’s received in FL, Hawaii, and Cali. I’m expecting a some changes will have to be made before it goes final, but that’s the easy part.
Oh- KAY Off: Good deal and good luck man!!!!
Hey Shawnta! Good luck on the weekend things!
@ Shawnta – Whatcha got going on this weekend?
@ Offey – Are you allowed to tell what this publication is about? Or is it classified?
Yall I have some ignorant neighbors.
There’s this group of 2520’s that live across the street. They sit outside EVERY single day with their dogs, just being nosy. Watching everything/
writing down license plate numbers. They aren’t very friendly at all, which is fine and dandy because I don’t talk to them either.Well my friend (R – who came to Chicago) lives next door to me. Her boyfriend basically lives with her. Well he left on Sunday to go out of town for work, and left his car parked outside on the street, in front of where the 2520’s stay. She came home from work yesterday and his car had a bright orange sticker on it, along with a $50 ticket. The ticket was for “overparking” and the sticker was one of those ones that state a car has been abandoned. Now it can’t be proved, but I KNOW these punk arse neighbors called the police.
Well I pull up from work yesterday and she’s outside going off, while they sit across the street trying to avoid looking at her. I laughed my azz off because it was slightly funny. I’m like all you have to do is move it back and forth because they mark the tires and the spot in the street. As long as you move and inch or two they can’t bother you (don’t ask why I know this). And go to court with pictures/to show the car isn’t “abandoned”. And when the car in front of you moves that belongs to them, park your car out there too. I asked her if she wanted me to have my daddy bring some of his “cars” over and line the street with them. She declined.
It’s just crazy! When she called the number on the ticket, they claimed that a car left for more than 14 hours can be called in as abandoned. 14 hours?!?!?! WHAT?!?! My car was just outside from Thurs.-Mon. If I had come back to marked tires, I would have gone off. I would be typing this from jail right now.
You know it was the neighbors V. Aint nobody else worried about people like that.
Do these nutjobs have jobs?
@Nicki: Thanks.
@VRenee: Nothing fun…actually it’s all more WORK. Aren’t weekends made for relaxing?
- Usual run/walk club (this part I don’t mind),
- Helping friends with their garage sale (I don’t mind helping but does it have to start SOOOO early?)
- We’re in the process of moving so, we have to actually start getting rid of stuff, packing and cleaning. We still have time but although I hate packing, I don’t want to wait until the last minute.
@ Nicki – I can’t tell if they have jobs or not. Well the ones I think are the main culprits are old, so I think they may be retired. As for the rest, I think they may. Don’t let the weekend come along, they’re out there from sun up to sun down. And ALWAYS out the window.
@ Shawta- Moving SUCKS!! I hate it. I always look like how did I accumulate all of this?
@V: Yeah, that’s just neighbors being evil and spiteful. Someone’s dog should take a dump on their doorstep.
As for the publication, it does have class’d appendices, but it is basically Winning Friends and Influencing People on an uber-grandiose scale. lol
Funny LeBron Commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJBgowEeDmc
@V: Hole up- is it a family???
Winning Friends and Influencing People on an uber-grandiose scale .
I can’t take you.
Were is our dream interpreter? I had a dream that snakes were EVERYWHERE in Jeffersonville Indiana. Big rattle snakes.. in the trees, everywhere.
Sceery.
Offy good luck bruh!!
V that iz retarded
Shawnta where u moving to?
And I keep having dreams someone is gonna break in my apartment when I am sleeping. TF?
@ Nicki – I think they may be. I don’t know for sure.
@ Nicki – Are you sure these are dreams? They’re sounding more like nightmares.
Nicki: To dream of snakes, is most often seen as a foreboding of evil however a snake can also be a sign of reformation, change and rebirth due to its ability to shed its skin
For a woman to dream that a dead snake is biting her, foretells she will suffer from malice of a pretended friend.
To see them wriggling and falling over others, foretells struggles with fortune and remorse.
To kill them, you will feel that you have used every opportunity of advancing your own interests, or respecting that of others. You will enjoy victory over enemies.
To walk over them, you will live in constant fear of sickness, and selfish persons will try to usurp your place in your companion’s life.
If they bite you, you will succumb to evil influences, and enemies will injure your business.
To dream that a common spotted snake approaches you from green herbs, and you quickly step aside as it passes you, and after you had forgotten the incident to again see it approaching and growing in dimensions as it nears you, finally taking on the form of an enormous serpent; if you then, after frantic efforts, succeed in escaping its attack, and altogether lose sight of it, it foretells that you will soon imagine you are being disobeyed and slighted, and things will go on from bad to worse. Sickness, uneasiness and unkindness will increase to frightful proportions in your mind; but they will adjust themselves to a normal basis, and by the putting aside of imaginary trouble, and masterfully shouldering duties, you might be contented and repaid.
To dream that a snake coils itself around you and darts its tongue out at you, is a sign that you may be placed in a position where you will be powerless in the hands of enemies, and you will be attacked with sickness.
To handle them, you will use strategy to aid in overthrowing opposition.
To see hairs turn into snakes, foretells that seeming insignificant incidents will make distressing cares for you.
If snakes turn into unnatural shapes, you might have troubles which will be dispelled if treated with indifference, calmness and will power.
To see or step on snakes while wading or bathing, could denote that there will be trouble where unalloyed pleasure was anticipated.
To see them bite others, foretells that some friend will be injured and criticised by you.
To see little snakes, could denote you will entertain persons with friendly hospitality who will secretly defame you and work to overthrow your growing prospects.
To see children playing with them, is a sign that you may be nonplussed to distinguish your friends from your enemies. For a woman to think a child places one on the back of her head, and she hears the snake’s hisses, foretells that she will be persuaded to yield up some possession seemingly for her good, but she will find out later that she has been inveigled into an intrigue in which enemies will tantalize her.
To see snakes raising up their heads in a path just behind your friend, could denote that you will discover a conspiracy which has been formed to injure your friend and also yourself. To think your friend has them under control, could denote that some powerful agency will be employed in your favor to ward off evil influences.
lol nic that commercial was funny.
@ Offey – Did you copy & paste this? If not, why do you just know this?
@V: They are nightmares. U are right!
@offy: thank you!! I never got bit in my dream.. it’s like I was driving and trying to get home and saw them coiled up everywhere and it was all kinds.. they were really thick.. like Anacondas, but not that long. I stopped my car for some reason and got out… and was stepping around them but never got bit.
I never saw anyone get hurt but they were in the trees and stuff too. Me and some people started running and dodging them in the trees.
@Mik: It really was. lol. This short fat guy I used to date had LeBron’s face. too bad that was all.
wow offy
Perhaps there is evil in Jeffersonville I am running from?
V: I Bing’d it baby!
V: I Bing’d it baby! .
Ha! (snickering) I was about to say…..
@ Nicki – The dream about breaking into my apartment would scare me. Do you keep a hammer tucked? I have weapons hidden in every room in my place. I will NOT go out without a fight.
@VRenee: We’re the same way…which is why we’re giving stuff away, listing stuff on Craig’s List, putting stuff in our friends’ garage sale…we are NOT taking all of that stuff with us. How does it pile up like this over the years?
@Mik: We’re not moving out of city or state…at least not for another year or so. We’re downsizing to same more money…moving from the house we currently rent to a smaller one.
Meant…to “save” more money.
@V: How long is your mom in Houston for?
@v: I don’t. I prolly need to start, huh? This makes me want to move again. I never had this issue at my other place!
@V: How long is your mom in Houston for? .
WHY?!?!?! You better not be trying to push up on my mama!
@v: I don’t. I prolly need to start, huh? This makes me want to move again. I never had this issue at my other place! .
Heck yeah you need to! I keep a hammer under my mattress with the handle sticking out, a couple of knives within reach. The hammer used to be under the pillow but I had to move it. Ha! Don’t get to diggin in couch cushions, you may cut yourself.
“Heck yeah you need to! I keep a hammer under my mattress with the handle sticking out, a couple of knives within reach.”
Not the artillary!!! The thought of even having weapons is so scary to me. but it’s a necessity.
Not the artillary!!! The thought of even having weapons is so scary to me. but it’s a necessity. .
Hmmmmm this just gave me an idea of something to do this weekend. The gun range!
I know my ninja skills are coming along (hehehe). I need to get my target game on point. lol
“The gun range!
I know my ninja skills are coming along (hehehe). I need to get my target game on point. lol”
YES. I’m gonna go there in the future, I plan to have one in the home (I’m sure the husband will want one). I need to be trained on that thing.
@V: Nah! LOL I was just asking ’cause you said you may be going with her… but nevuhminddayum!
where the heck is everybody?
@V: Nah! LOL I was just asking ’cause you said you may be going with her… but nevuhminddayum! .
LMAO. I’m just saying….don’t be coming out of left field talmabout how long my mama going be in Houston, like yall were about to get connected and ish.
Thursday thru Sunday. They’re driving though. I can’t do 1000 hours in a car/van. I would’ve flown but I waited too long and tickets are like $1000. Ha.
@ Nicki – I was wondering the same thing!
Well 80’s is out of town. Jada probably sleeping in. LP on Texas time. CBG is out saving the world…or at least Mexico. Humble/No More – out UGK’ing the world (haha). Soooooooooo……..
Hi Treehouse,
I’m grateful that the last 2 weeks are behind me. I’m grateful that my sixth book hit the stores this week. I’ve been so busy with life and other projects that I haven’t really promoted it like I should have–but it’s still doing well in its first week.
I’m grateful that I have my family. These last few weeks were just a reminder of how short “time” really is. We must tell the people we care about “I love you” and show it on a consistent basis. Once they’ve died, they really don’t care at that point–they’ve gone on.
UGK’ing the world. LMAO.
Spage age pimpin…
Hole up. That’s the wrong group.
Hey shelia! Congrats on your book!
Hey Shelia!! Congrats on your book! What’s the name of it?
@Nicki: Space Age is 8Ball & MJG! If your man is from Memphis, you GOTTA get that right! LOL
I think I must have a sign around my neck that states “I entertain skits”. Why does my co-worker keep coming over here trying to show me his break dancing moves? Of course I entertain it, but why?!?!?!
Spage age pimpin… .
Yeah wrong group. lol. I still love the song though!
@ Off – When are you there?
“@Nicki: Space Age is 8Ball & MJG! If your man is from Memphis, you GOTTA get that right! LOL”
I know right??? I liked them though, and Three 6 Mafia
“@Nicki: Space Age is 8Ball & MJG! If your man is from Memphis, you GOTTA get that right! LOL” .
Wait he’s from Memphis? I thought he was from St. Louis.
@V: I don’t get to Houston until July 20th. And I’m there until the 25th.
!V: Yep, he’s from St. Louis but he lives in Memphis.
Did anyone have the torpedo drink at the Funky Buddah? I’m trying to tell Damon what was in it but I’m not exactly a drink expert. lol. All I know is it was blueish green.
I looked up a recipe, but I am not sure that was it.
Did anyone have the torpedo drink at the Funky Buddah? .
I didn’t! Is that the one they had advertised as the special?? I started to get it, but stuck with my grey goose.
Just tell him to mix some blue kool aide with vodka….same thing.
“I didn’t! Is that the one they had advertised as the special?? I started to get it, but stuck with my grey goose.”
Yep that was it V. IT was soooo good girl. And it kinda snuck up on me. I was standing at the bar for the longest and then walked to the bathroom and felt dizzy. lol
Hi Treehousers!
I am grateful for the end of this project (lord make it come sooner than later!)
I am grateful for my sister officially going into Summa Cum Laude territory. I’m proud of the kid.
I am grateful for possibilities, free outdoor broadway performances and cheap bikes on Craiglist!
@ Nicki – And it kinda snuck up on me. I was standing at the bar for the longest and then walked to the bathroom and felt dizzy. lol .
Ha! Silent creepers are the worst. One minute you’re like I’m fine, the next it’s like Wow I’m drunk. I usually head home at that point. I can not be out in public sloppy drunk……at least where people “know” me. Out of town, different story. Ha.
@ LP – Congrats to your sister! That’s a great accomplishment!!
WHATT who thought Ball and G was from St.Louis?
being a true Memphian, I Luuuvs me some ball and g..
we love 3 t hings in memphis
Barbeque, Ball and G and COGIC/ELVIS depending on if you are 2520 or not…
Hey Lovely! Congrats for your sisters.
“public sloppy drunk……at least where people “know” me. Out of town, different story. Ha.”
That’s exactly how I think in V. In Miami, Nicki Sunshine is not Louisville/ Jeffersonviell, Nicki
@Nicki,
Speaking of rappers, are Nappy Roots from Kentucky? I love them so much.
I’m thankful for all of my appendages and that they work as they should. I’m grateful for the weekend, and grateful for books. Sheila I need to pick yours up! Congrats!
@ Shay – Ummm what’s COGIC?
That’s exactly how I think in V. In Miami, Nicki Sunshine is not Louisville/ Jeffersonviell, Nicki .
Who are you? ::palin wink::
Does anybody else have an out of town “name”? Or is that just me? hahaha
@Lovely: They sure are from here.
@Jada: Hey girl!!!
@V: “Who are you? ::palin wink::”
lol. I don’t change my name. But my actions are sooo different!
Hey Jada!!
Does anyone know the name of Sheila’s book?
Nevermind about Sheila’s book. I guess it would help if I went to her blog. LMAO @ myself.
Hello ladies! I know ya’ll are ready for the end of the day!
Jada, U ain’t said nothing but a word!!! And I know it’s hot outside.
What are u doing this weekend
I have no plans…which means…I’m chillaxin! I think the Chi wore me out cause my body is still tired!
What you gettin into?
Girl the same as you. NOTHING. Chicago took me for a spin. lol
What are u doing this weekend
I have to clean up! My bedroom is a mess… When I am stressed out, my bedroom reflects it. And I am also going to watch a Broadway play with some girlfriends.
Btw, do y’all remember how I wanted to hook up my ex with this new friend of mine? I think it might actually work! The girl asked me who he was (after seeing him on my FB)!!! I might be onto something with this fixing up thing. Ha!
The end of the day can’t come fast enough for me!!
I have no plans…which means…I’m chillaxin! I think the Chi wore me out cause my body is still tired! .
Me too! Although not making it to bed before 1 am every night, probably didn’t help either.
Btw, do y’all remember how I wanted to hook up my ex with this new friend of mine? .
This is funny to me. Does she know he is an ex??
Did I tell yall that the play I was suppose to be in was canceled. It was suppose to be tomorrow. And guess why….wait for it wait for it – the whole copyright issue! Ha!
@ Nick!
Have fun doing absolutely NOTHING girl!
@ LP
A play sounds fun! What play is it? Be careful with that matchmaking business…that’s all I’m gonna say.
@ V
I see you got relaxing on the brain too. I read up what happened to your friend’s bf’s car. I can’t stand nosy @ss people who have nothing better or more productive to do with their lives than make life difficult for others. That was so uncalled for.
“The girl asked me who he was (after seeing him on my FB)!!! I might be onto something with this fixing up thing”
Hey hey now. What did he say about it?
U and be both V. I’ve been staying on the phone like I was in high school.
“And guess why….wait for it wait for it – the whole copyright issue! Ha!”
WWWOOOOOW.
@ V
So they did steal it after all?
You too, Jada
@ V
So they did steal it after all? .
Apparently so. I think money was the reason they fell out with the writers in the first place. After the falling out, they said they couldn’t use the play, but they were going to anyway.
@ Jada I can’t stand nosy @ss people who have nothing better or more productive to do with their lives than make life difficult for others. That was so uncalled for. .
Me either!! I could see if crazy ish was going on and they didn’t want the neighborhood to turn extra hood. But it’s not like that at all! They’re just busy bodies with nothing better to do.
I would stand at the end of their drive in plain view and write down their liscense plate numbers. And just generally annoy them the exact same way they do everybody else.
Speaking of which…I had a dream that I cussed this 2520 man slam out! I was at some sort of game…and he came and sat by me and like pushed me or something. Very rude. So I cussed his @ss out, and the wife agreed with me.
Wonder what that was about.
Hi E-ONE….
Oh yeah..we are supposed to be reading Sheila’s book for the book club. I need to announce.
@ Sunny re: the Lebron commerical
I WISH a NEGRO would buy me some tennis shoes…this reminded me of the time when i was just a little comeback girl and daddy comeback bought momma comeback a blender for her birthday…that was not a lovely “bill withers” day..i can tell you that LOL….
“I WISH a NEGRO would buy me some tennis shoes…this reminded me of the time when i was just a little comeback girl and daddy comeback bought momma comeback a blender for her birthday…that was not a lovely “bill withers” day..i can tell you that LOL….”
Died at that last line!!! And NO I do NOT want my man buying me tennis shoes.. taht may have been cute when I was in high school, but no thanks. He can buy me some fly stilettos though.
”
Very rude. So I cussed his @ss out, and the wife agreed with me.”
LMBO. Not the wife agreeing!
@V,
This is funny to me. Does she know he is an ex??
Yes she does… I mean she did know after she said it, and I asked if she didn’t mind… and she doesn’t!! So it’s cool
. But I didn’t tell my ex she knew… I just asked him if he was seeing someone serious and that there is a girl I think would be a perfect match for him… After rolling his eyes a few times, and saying stupid things like “there is no more us then”, and “I don’t want women drama right now”… He went ahead and friended her on FB… I’m sure he wants to check her out (she is gorgeous by the way). Boys are so friggin’ ridiculous sometimes, lol!
LOL…it is amusing now that I think about it Sunny. But I was so sincere in that dream.
I love sneakers so I don’t mind if anyone wants to get me some…long as I like them.
@CBG I am so mad at Papa CB buying Mama CB a blender….bad form.
Word? What is wrong with a man buying you tennis shoes? I’ve never heard that before… but I’ve also never bought a woman tennis shoes.
I HAVE bought one dinnerware though, and Bill Withers did not sing that day either.
@Jada,
Be careful with that matchmaking business
Pray tell why? I have done a few in my days and they were mostly successful… It’s grown folks meeting other grown folks, after that it’s on them. I just facilitate a meeting… I am a free and living eHarmony is all.
Hmmm…ponders man shopping on LP’s facebook page.
I am a free and living eHarmony is all
LMAO!
Just b/c some people will blame yo if it doesn’t work out or they have a horrible experience.
@ Offy
I think those who like and wear sneakers fairly often would not have a problem with it…but women who are more into heels/ dress shoes/ stilettos would not make much use of them. They’d prolly like to have a pair of those instead.
“Word? What is wrong with a man buying you tennis shoes? I’ve never heard that before… but I’ve also never bought a woman tennis shoes. ”
@offy: It’s bad for me bc I don’t wear them!!!
@LP: That is hilarious!!!! He was trying to play that game. Think he was testing your reaction at first- to see if you were really ok with it?
Hey what happened to that one guy who was your friend but he didn’t know u were engaged? I need a status update. lol
U got it jada!
Ah ok, gotcha. So what about this: Let’s say your man wants you to start working out to lose some weight. So he buys you a bunch of gym shyt and some tennis shoes. Thats cool right?
@Jada,
Just b/c some people will blame yo if it doesn’t work out or they have a horrible experience.
I hear you. But this is will be on them. I don’t generally cater to whiners and no responsibility-taking negroes. If it failed and you blame me, I understand why it failed.
@Nicki,
You know what? I have kinda taken my distance a lil’ bit. He wanted to go to the movies and a get-together last week-end but I politely declined… So I guess, it kinda got it. Matter-of-fact, he sent a text yesterday asking about my plans for the week-end (we were supposed to go bike shops hunting one of these days)… I think I’ll decline again.
Only if you’ve both had the discussion of we gonna start working out together.
@Off,
Ah ok, gotcha. So what about this: Let’s say your man wants you to start working out to lose some weight. So he buys you a bunch of gym shyt and some tennis shoes. Thats cool right?
If it’s Comeback’s man, he’s gonna have his neck wringled really good!
I really don’t mind any type of gift, but I rather my partner be able to SAY things to me rather than bloody suggest. What are we? 5 year olds?
HEY CBG!
@ LP He went ahead and friended her on FB… I’m sure he wants to check her out (she is gorgeous by the way). Boys are so friggin’ ridiculous sometimes, lol! .
Good job. Do they live in the same city?
@ Jada Hmmm…ponders man shopping on LP’s facebook page. .
LMAO!!
@ off “Word? What is wrong with a man buying you tennis shoes? I’ve never heard that before… but I’ve also never bought a woman tennis shoes. ”.
I’ve heard that woman should not buy a man shoes because they are the ones he will walk out of her like in (maybe it was here). LMAO. I don’t really believe it, but it’s still funny.
“Ah ok, gotcha. So what about this: Let’s say your man wants you to start working out to lose some weight. So he buys you a bunch of gym shyt and some tennis shoes. Thats cool right?”
I’m with Jada… only if we’ve talked about it. I don’t want that kind of surprise. I’d be all, “ninja what u tryin to say?” on his behind. lol
Ah ok, gotcha. So what about this: Let’s say your man wants you to start working out to lose some weight. So he buys you a bunch of gym shyt and some tennis shoes. Thats cool right? .
You just trying to be funny now.
@Lovely: Oh ok. Any reason? Or did you feel bad for hanging out with him?
@ Off: So he buys you a bunch of gym shyt and some tennis shoes. Thats cool right .
And do you mean as a bday/valentines day/whatever present??? Or just buy them just cause??
That’s like if a man was losing his hear, and you brought him home clippers and rogaine and told him to take his pick. Not Cool!
That’s like if a man was losing his hear, and you brought him home clippers and rogaine and told him to take his pick. Not Cool!
*DEAD*!
Yeah, LP…. the gift is just the follow through to previous convo. Absolutely discussed beforehand.
Ol’ boy still sniffing around eh?? LOL
“That’s like if a man was losing his hear, and you brought him home clippers and rogaine and told him to take his pick. Not Cool!
*DEAD*!”
Now the new me’s dead and gone.
@V: LOL… that’s YOU trying to be funny! I’d tell her to put both down because we ain’t shavin nothing on me until we take care of a few spots on her! LOL
Nah, I wouldn’t trip…
@ off: Nah, I wouldn’t trip… .
Twisting my mouth. I don’t believe you.
And why did you buy someone dinnerwear? Was that previously discussed?? That’s something random to just be getting.
What’s the worst gift you all have been given?
“What’s the worst gift you all have been given?”
NOTHING. lol
I’ve only had three guys buy me gifts EVer. The worst was a naval ring. I felt it was not personal.
What about u, V?
I.O.U coupons. LMAO. I looked at him like ninja we too old to be giving out c00chie coupons.
@V: I bought her dinnerware because she NEEDED it. When you are grown woman, you should not be entertaining guests with the Wal-Mart dishes you got when you moved it your college apartment. LOL
Worst gift I ever got? A touristy burnt orange baseball hat that said, “Hawaii” across the front…. despite the fact that I’ve been to the place a dozen times before.
“I.O.U coupons. LMAO. I looked at him like ninja we too old to be giving out c00chie coupons.”
Drink a 40 to my memory.
Did that NINJA really give u a coupon? Aw naw.
” When you are grown woman, you should not be entertaining guests with the Wal-Mart dishes you got when you moved it your college apartment. LOL”
LMAO!!! Was she happy about the gift?
Good job. Do they live in the same city?
Yup, we all live down here. And like I said, they are actually quite well-suited… Given what I know of both of them. We’ll see where it goes.
Worst gift I ever had, was a purple-ish Faconnable polo tee-shirt. First, I do not like purple at all. Second, I don’t even wear polos like that. It was just so random and not appropriate. But this guy really had the strangest gifts. The thing is he knew me, but didn’t “get” me. He was always trying to be out of the ordinary with his gifts but always missed…kinda like something else. *smh*
I can’t even remember a worst gift which goes to show I haven’t been given much. Cheap bastards.
Re: household gifts. Everybody in my entourage knows that those are the BEST gifts to give me. I love kitchen gadgets, dinnerware, and all of that. So I really, really wouldn’t mind someone buying me dinnerware. At all.
I usually don’t like clothes and shoes as gifts… or even lingerie. Let me buy that stuff. My taste is particular and I don’t want you wasting your money and I wouldn’t use it.
Just give me a gift certificate to a bookstore or something and I’m happy.
I want to get things that I wouldn’t buy for myself… like this guy got my an iPod and a laptop, which I wanted but didn’t want to fork the money over for.
I like to be surprised, also.
Now that I’m thinking about it, a great wedding gift from my husband could be a remodeled kitchen and I would be happy!
Speaking of which, for each one of my serious relationships, I kinda had an idea of something special I could offer as a wedding gift for the guy to be over the moon.
Now that I am actually going to go through with the wedding, I have no idea what to get the beau… It annoys the hell out of me.
@ LP
It will come to you…you’ll have an epiphany! and if anything I think he’ll be happy with the cookies.
“It will come to you…you’ll have an epiphany! and if anything I think he’ll be happy with the cookies.”
MAN!!! And just to be with you since u guys have been long distance.
The guy who was buying expensive gifts was a jerk. Let me add. lol
J just being him is gift enough for me.
“Re: household gifts. Everybody in my entourage knows that those are the BEST gifts to give me. I love kitchen gadgets, dinnerware, and all of that. So I really, really wouldn’t mind someone buying me dinnerware. At all.”
@ LP…i love them too. Like I’ll take a stainless steel espresso maker with a coffee grinder..(except i don’t make myself coffee..but if he was buying it to MAKE FOR ME..then happy birthday to me..
but a valcumn cleaner?? a regular ole a!zz blender..??? i paper towel rack…(these are all birthday/christmas gifts i’ve heard women have been given, including my momma LOL..
this is NOT the business..i mean you buying on a random surprise friday..cool…BUT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?? hell nawl.
Has anyone tried to get onto SSSO. I can’t get on the dang on thing?
I’ll also add. this is a sign of a really bad partnership..I buy great gifts..I don’t think you get people stuff that they OBVIOUSLY have never expressed interest in wanting to have on a birthday or christmas.
Wow, check out that punctuation. My english teacher must be proud
When you are grown woman, you should not be entertaining guests with the Wal-Mart dishes you got when you moved it your college apartment. LOL .
Yous a hater! LOL
I’m about to start washing out the cups you get from fast food places (not the plastic ones either) and entertaining guest with them. I know they MAY only last 1 washing but still. Matter of fact, I’m about to start doing this and hoping that someone shows up with dinnerwear. He.l.l. she may have did it on purpose. I aint mad at her.
Did that NINJA really give u a coupon? Aw naw. .
It was partly a joke. At least that’s the story I am going to stick with. I refuse to believe otherwise.
“I don’t think you get people stuff that they OBVIOUSLY have never expressed interest in wanting to have on a birthday or christmas.”
I agree. One should be able to listen.
*DEAD* @ the vacuum cleaner and paper towel rack. Yes I would not be very pleased with those gifts either. Now if it happened to be something I needed and you just decided to pick it up. Thanks and kudos for being observant. But to get me for a special occasion..come again homie.
Sunny I can get on but its loading really slow.
“Was she happy about the gift?”
@Nicki: She was not. LOL But think she didn’t keep them and use the hell out of them! She did! The good thing was that it was only part 1 of the gift, so I redeemed myself later on.
“It was partly a joke. At least that’s the story I am going to stick with. I refuse to believe otherwise.”
LMAO!
I want to get things that I wouldn’t buy for myself… like this guy got my an iPod and a laptop, which I wanted but didn’t want to fork the money over for. .
Me too!!
@ LP Now that I am actually going to go through with the wedding .
Were you not going to go through with it at one point?
@ Nicki J just being him is gift enough for me. .
How cute!!! I think I feel wetness on my cheek.
this is NOT the business..i mean you buying on a random surprise friday..cool…BUT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?? .
I agree. I don’t want ordinary stuff on a bday. Now like LP said remodeling a kitchen. Cool. But the blender, nope. I mean I’ll smile and act happy. But just know when your bday comes around, Im sliding you a remote control holder. Not a fancy one either. Maybe something I made with 5 pieces of wood and some guerilla glue. Different types of wood too.
i can get on ssso now no problem..now
what does the “o” stand for again???
The good thing was that it was only part 1 of the gift, so I redeemed myself later on. .
Bday secks does not count!
“Nicki: She was not. LOL But think she didn’t keep them and use the hell out of them! She did! The good thing was that it was only part 1 of the gift, so I redeemed myself later on.”

*TEARS*
I still can’t get on that dang blog. Cripe.
I am DYING @ V and her remote control holder! .
I was cracking up as I was typing it too. hahaha. But I’m so sincere.
“Bday secks does not count!”
That wasn’t part 2 Smarty…. that was part 3!
But just know when your bday comes around, Im sliding you a remote control holder. Not a fancy one either. Maybe something I made with 5 pieces of wood and some guerilla glue. Different types of wood too.”
LOL..you know I’ve never been given a bad gift…but i have gotten some great gifts so from some arrogant S.O.Bs..maybe thats telling too!!??
@ Offey…”Word? What is wrong with a man buying you tennis shoes? I’ve never heard that before… but I’ve also never bought a woman tennis shoes. ”
FOR MY BIRTHDAY.??.a whole lot..
“@Comeback: Out”

Have a good one Nick!
@V,
@ LP Now that I am actually going to go through with the wedding .
It should have read , now that I am actually going to go through A wedding…
Like I knew what I would offer my ex-fiance, I just didn’t want that wedding.
@Jada,
I just saw your question about the play. We are going to see 42nd Street performed by a local company called Theater Under The Stars… They perform at an outdoor theater that’s free! You bring your blankett and your pique-nique and enjoy the show.
Lost another great bike! Ugh! I swear those bikes go like hot cakes…
@ LP: It should have read , now that I am actually going to go through A wedding… .
Gotcha! I thought you meant you pulled a Jagged Edge and was like he.l.l. ” We aint getting no younger so we might as well do this”………
@ LP : Lost another great bike! Ugh! I swear those bikes go like hot cakes… .
How?? Are they on some first come first serve?
“We are going to see 42nd Street performed by a local company called Theater Under The Stars…”
this sounds fun LP..they do something like that in Rock Creek Park/DC/Carter baron.
I wish they did something like that around here. Then again I wish I had folks willing to go to something like that. I need new friends!
@V,
How?? Are they on some first come first serve?
It’s off craiglist. It seems like everybody is into biking these days… It’s so hard to find good bikes in my size (because more men bike than women)… whenever there is one, in less than a couple of hours it’s gone!
This lady posted her ad this morning. We were supposed to meet when I got off work, and she just told me that someone else made an offer. *pouting*
@Cbg,
DC has the one of the best cultural entertainment I think… There is always some festivals or some expositions going on..
@Jada,
If you find something, I will just say go by yourself… You will definitely meet like-minded people there.
Nikki/V Renee/Jada–thanks. It’s called His Invisible Wife.
The Comeback Girl & all – Right now Wal-mart has it for $4.87.
P.S. – Sorry for the late response. I had edits due on my book–Hollywood Deception–that’ll be out in spring of 2010. I was almost finished with them until last night when my zip drive acted crazy and I lost all my changes. I had to scramble to get everything completed today so I would meet the deadline.
Starting Tuesday, I will be on vacation–so I’ll be making my regular blog visits. These past few months have been back to back deadlines. I’m not going to know what to do with myself–yeah right
