Just found out Baskin-Robbins has a 31 cent scoop night tonight from 5 pm to 10 pm. Wanted to spread the word to all of you who love ice cream as much as I do! I’ll be stopping for a scoop on my drive home from work — a nice (cheap) evening treat!

Pregnancy is stressful enough, but imagine incubating the crucified Jesus. That’s a lot of darn pressure!
A local woman gets an ultrasound in preparation for her first baby but instead of seeing the image of an infant, Monet Sledge saw something else. “I was shocked like really,” said Monet. The Lorain woman showed the picture to her sister Tequoia Smith, a married mother of four who has seen her share of ultrasounds. “I was expecting to see little body parts,” said Tequoia “Like a face, arms and legs.” But instead Tequoia too saw the image of Jesus on the cross. “As soon as I saw it I was like oh my gosh.” The baby girls legs are completely extended and straight and in the photo, which resembles Jesus’ arms stretched out on the cross [Read more…]
She can cash that in on ebay because you know some fool is just itching to throw thousands of dollars down the drain! So tell me, did you see the crucified Jesus in the pic?
I credit my daughter’s father with two things — contributing half of Nia’s genetic material and introducing me to peanut butter oatmeal. The dish is one of my and Nia’s favorite things to eat for breakfast. I used to eat oatmeal with brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, and vanilla extract. Good, but not great. Now I purchase the large-sized Old Fashioned Quaker Oats. 
After cooking I add peanut butter and honey for Nia. For me I will sometimes add raisins and mixed nuts. This keeps me satisfied throughout the morning, until around 1 p.m. when I typically eat lunch. Keeps me regular too — if you know what I mean 
I can remember a conversation I had with a childhood friend. The last month of my pregnancy he called in complete and utter disbelief that I was pregnant. He said his mom had told him but he wouldn’t accept it as truth ’til he spoke with me personally. When he realized we weren’t trying to pull a fast one on him, he told me he would pray I had a boy. Goodness knows you need a boy, he told me.
Shamefully I admit I was secretly hoping for a boy. When her head popped out I wondered what in the heck I would do with that head-full-of-hair! But I vowed to take a different path from my mom who never learned how to braid despite having 6 girls! So last Monday I attempted and accomplished my first braid. Now as raggedy and broke down as this braid looks, I still have one up on my older sister who hasn’t quite grasped the concept. Just gotta get my technique down pat and it’s on!

1. It’s possible that I’m addicted to chapstick. An ex-boyfriend would tease me about eating it because he said it disappeared way too quickly. Hahaha! I don’t seriously think I’m addicted…well, maybe Burt’s Bees.
2. Watching people eat cereal is disgusting! and please don’t watch me either. You know the Biggie video for Warning. The part where he’s eating the cereal, I have to cover my eyes during that part! Continue reading ‘Second Meme’
From ETOnline:
Star Jones (46) has filed for divorce from husband of three-and-a-half years, Al Reynolds (39). The filing took place on March 26 in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan. Starlet M. Jones versus Al S. Reynolds was marked as an “Uncontested Matrimonial” case by the court and the records were sealed.
In a statement released exclusively to Entertainment Tonight, the former “View” co-host says: “Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone’s life that requires privacy with one’s thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman.”
Ending a relationship is always difficult, but did anyone think this union would last longer than a couple of years? I’m surprised they lasted 3 years! And I’m sure they’re still paying for that lavish wedding. She was marrying for us, the public, instead of true love. If you’re comfortable with yourself and your mate, you don’t need all that media hoopla to make you feel secure. So what was the tipping point for this failed marriage? Did Al finally come to terms with his sexuality and step on out the closet? What do you think about that train wreck they called a marriage?
I hadn’t been out on the town in a looooong time when my younger sister (left), the party girl, suggested we hit the club for the ArtLifestyle Concert @ JABS Ultrabar. Uh-oh! I was like a soda bottle shaken up, pressure building…then off comes the top! I let loose! Continue reading ‘Momma Cuttin’ Up!’
