A Few Changes Are In Order

Ok, TIKC- it is February 2011.  We are moving right on along! Happy Black History Month to EVERYONE!  Let's Go!



TIME TO GO.



#TRUTHIS, being that it is February and all, I would think that it is safe to assume that most of my folks have taken down ALL of their holiday decorations by now, right?!... *CRICKETS* .............................................
Alas, we all know that that is just not the case.  We've all seen the Christmas trees STILL lit up in the windows, the endless holiday wreaths STILL covering the doors, the strands of lights STILL being turned on outside the house...

#TRUTHIS If y'all haven't taken down your holiday decorations-Christmas trees, lights, wreaths, holiday doormats- YOU ARE BAMA! What are you waiting for?!! SMH!  Only one pass can be given, and that is for the folks with the lights that wrap around their house. However, this pass is only valid if they ain’t still turning them on! (I know those can be a pita (pain in the ass) to put up and take down every year) BUT, to everyone else- ummm, er NEGATIVE!!! It's way past time.  
#TRUTHIS I was picking up my littlest diva from school last week and she said "Mommy, look they still have their Christmas tree!" Yes folks, it was still up- at her black owned school…#imjustsayin. The owner heard her and got a little embarrassed, laughed and was like "Yes, we really need to take it down!" …Even my 3 year old knew that!  I had to smile as I dropped her off the next day and the Christmas tree was gone.  Knowing good and well that if my little mama wouldn't have called them out on their tardiness, we would have been looking at that tree again that morning... ;)  Way to go, munchkin! #shegetsit



AMEN.



#TRUTHIS Winter is definitely getting it in! Had y’all even heard of thundersnow before this winter?  As much of a pain as the snow has been.  You have to admit, that it really is beautiful! Shout Out to the midwest! It is SERIOUS in the Midwest right now! That ice storm is doing it WELL there.  It is straight up looking like snow, but it is actually inches of ICE!!   It’s no joke in the NE, either as we got 10 ‘’ dumped on us. Shout out to those farther north, who got slammed beyond our 10. Yikes... And, it's not over yet.  That midwest storm is headed our way now.

#TRUTHIS You would think that anyone living in a snowy region would have the necessary items to clean off their car, right?.I mean this is MD.  It snow's here and will always snow here.   So, um, not so much... I saw a woman trying to get 10 inches of snow off her car with a short ice scraper and a rag!  SMH. C'mon son! Help yo self!! Certainly you at least have a broom lol! 
On the bright side, spring is right around the corner...so says the groundhog!



Nahla's Parents



#TRUTHIS I hate that Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry can’t get it together and are about to have a straight up custody battle over their beautiful daughter, Nahla.  I won’t dare judge, as I don’t know all of the facts, but I do know that co-parenting CAN work! If both parents are willing, an effort should definitely be made. You don't have to stay together for the kids, but get it together for your kids, please! 

Not sure why she would send an email saying "You were only good for one thing... Thanks for the donation."  Really, an email?  As to the accusation that he used a racial slur towards her, well, I am going to leave that alone because it is simply that- an accusation… for now. 



CHANGE.



#TRUTHIS President Mubarak really needs to “bite the bullet” and step down NOW. The once peaceful protests have now taken a violent turn and it is only geting worse. The people have spoken and are straight up charging each other on camels!! For real. SMH. That is mild in comparison to the rest of the weapons they are using against each other over there. He better get out while he still can! 

#TRUTHIS Anderson Cooper got attacked in Egypt. @Cristilovequeen did you see your boo, the silver fox got pounded in the head 10 times (by a Pro-Mubarak mob, no less) while reporting in Cairo? He is ‘bout it though because he is still over there reporting! I know I would have brought my azz home!!!  According to reports, no one was seriously hurt.  According to Mr. Cooper,  "A young man would come up, look at you and then punch you right in the face."  It's crazy over there.  I’m sure his swag is still in tack though, no doubt. 

#TIKC is sending prayers out to all of the people fighting for their freedoms all across the globe.*

#TRUTHIS GOD IS SO GOOD ALL.THE.TIME
In an earlier post, I mentioned the family home being burglarized.  Update: The thieves have been caught!  Best case scenario played out. Amen. 

Greed is just sooo not cute. However, in this instance I am grateful because greed is the reason that they got caught! Is enough ever really enought? This insatiable need for always wanting more can get us into trouble. If they wouldn’t have gone back for more, they would probably be chillin right now.  Alas, we always want more, don't we? The moral of the story is to be happy with what you have.  (And of course, don’t steal ;)) 

#TRUTHIS There will always be someone that has more than you and there will always be someone that has has less. Keep in mind, someone will take the hand that you are dealt and win with it! (One of my faves) And of course there's the bit about if we all threw our issues/ problems in one pile,  upon seeing everyone elses issues/problems, we'd gladly snatch ours back!! :)  #TRUTHISKRAZYCOOL

And with that, I say be blessed! Play Nice. Stay warm! Be smart. And remember "You're never fully dressed without a smile!!"  (Shout out to Annie!)  I watched it the other night with the divas.  So fun!  Which reminds me...Did you hear that Will Smith will be doing a remake of Annie? Starring Willow, of course.  YAYYYY! I love that!  Can't wait!!!

TTFN.
