It's 6:21am and I couldn't wait to get off of work to open my presents that I bought myself. It's my birthday and I'm excited. Over the weekend my parents and I went on a road trip to see my sister, Tomoka, in Atlanta. We did not hit any tourist spots because we've been there and done that before. My father really did want to go to the aquarium. And you know, I really wanted to see Andre 3000, maybe next time.
We did go shopping! The first stop was the Coach outlet where I found my happy birthday gifts! I also bought a black floral dress that allows for a lot of cleavage and leg. I will wear that this weekend while I continue to celebrate my birthday into the first week of May. I also bought another lady shaver. I don't even know which kind I got. It was under $20 at Wal-Mart. I had a gift card there, otherwise.... I think this will be the fourth one. I keep dropping them in shower and the replacement screens and blades are just as expensive as the the entire shaver itself.
Say hello to my little friend!
Update: There's a give-away going on so please visit On the Road to Queendom. She's giving away some of the prettiest lock/twist adornments that I've ever seen. One has a peacock feather!

Well, Tomoka's birthday is coming up and in honor of her, we'll have a sale. I was going to start it on December 1st her birthday, but since everyone is having Black Friday sales, I thought I'd jump start mine earlier. Plus, changing the s/h info was much easier than I thought it would be.
Yellow Sophistication
I just found about another give away!!! These earrings are my favorite and happen to go great with Mariah. The were crafted by Satin Doll Co and she is giving away a $25 gift certificate to her store. Please stop by...
My hair isn't slipping as much after I shampoo it. Only two came completely aloose. I combined six locks because they keep slipping and were too skinny to begin with. Some of them have gaps in them from where they are settling near the ends and then expanding everywhere else. I really don't think my hair likes Sisterlocks, but it's never really liked any style. I'll will do another round of sliding the pattern down and retightening it. I have found that this helps keep bunching down, makes my lock more uniform, and speeds the locking process by keeping the lock in the pattern. It's time consuming, so I do a few while watching YouTube.
The video of this post will be Fantastic Voyage--Lakeside.
Congratulations to Mama who just bought a Cadillac. I told her I was going to get her Rich Boy's cd so she play Throw some D's on That. I think Aretha's Pink Cadillac will do even though it's not pink. Ooh, more videos to google.

I'm coming out with some t-Twigs or Tomoka's Twigs or T-Twiggies or T's Twiggigs or just Twigs next week, so stay tuned. The Twiggies and sets will be sold at an introductory price for a limited time.
I've been really horrible at keeping in contact with my peoples. I had a good friend to call me today and I was in the process of finding out that a Mazda is an extra special car when it comes to doing minor things. I was at AutoZone and usually they put headlights in, but my passenger side light is tricky. The washer fluid is right behind the light. So the whole container has to come out first.
She's telling me that she has health problem and there's this old man telling me it might be a fuse. The cashier is trying to find the part in the computer and wondering why it says 8 are in stock, but there's only 4. I need just one, ring it up.
It's 500 degrees out, I'm hot, gotta run to the post office, hungry, need to deposit a check. The cop came knocking at 4:45am to tell me my trunk was open. Close it and leave, thank you. Ciara all amped up over my trunk being open. Neither one of could sleep. I meant to get the bottled water out and got busy doing something else. It's my first day as a true employee at the job and I can't be late. I gotta leave there and run over to Precision Tune. Mister Old Man is starting to look like a short, skinny Al Sharpton. Is your hair really honey blond with curls like Terrence in Hustle & Flow? I had to think about Terrence Trent D'arby and how tight his pants were in that video, like those boxer briefs - black spandex boxer briefs, the long ones and the muscles in his buttocks in the bathroom brushing his teeth to block this old man with his honey blond curls. Debit.
My buddy is telling me about a granola recipe and I'm worried about getting stopped leaving work cause my headlight is out. Olive oil and granola don't sound right, what happened to peanut oil or just some regular vegetable oil. Olive oil? I love you to pieces, but I'm thinking about how I didn't get paid Friday and I haven't gotten a call back from the people yet. The temp service has no power cause a truck ran into a pole and they thought I started on the 6th or whatever. I haven't gotten a call back about my front porch post leaning like the Tower of Pisa either. Somebody has time to cook granola. I got taxes to pay and my friend is asking me about my hair. Yes, I'm going to somebody closer, right there by my gig. I do feel like I'm cheating on your. I apologize. Then there comes the phrase that I keep hearing, I always seem to catch you at a bad time, you are busy. I can see Lover's smile and feel Ciara's fur. Happy place, Ciara's fur, Lover's smile. Group hug.
I always answer my phone. If I don't then I'm probably at work actually working or having sex, about to have sex, or just finished having sex. Neighbor, you knew Lover was over and came in with spirits. Don't be key, key, keying and apologizing and grinning hard cause I didn't answer the door. He was not parked in your spot. Stop the madness. You know his car.
Dee, you know I ain't got all the answers. And thank you for making me laugh when the stuff behind the scences makes me want to shut the whole site down and practice skipping beads on a lake.
My parents, my sister I love you until the end of time. I know I call with some outlandish mess. I'm crazy, but it's hard out here for a chick. Root little pig or die. Papa may have, Mama may have, but God bless the child that's got her own. I'm trying to keep from moving in with y'all. Sister, when was the last time that you heard me say, Sister, my sister I love you. I think it was Saturday.
I made it home! Safe. The only thing I forgot was my resume which was all good because the lady wasn't at work. The only thing I have to do tomorrow is wait for a response to an email, read and respond to an email, get my resume, and check on my money, and work. Easy day.
Anyways, the best time to catch me is from 1:30am until 5:30am. Well, actually, that's my YouTube time.
I watched a few Patti Labelle videos of her singing You Are My Friend. I wanted a really special dedication, not something for y'all to laugh at. But, Patti as usual took it way, way there. All the way out there over the rainbow, put the pot of gold in her cleavage, and the spun all over the leprechaun's lucky charms. Why did you have to do all of that Patti?
I picked Faith Evans. I have always like the 'la la la' part of this song. I wish I could sing.
That's what my sister's blood pressure was by the time she got to the hospital after her co-workers called the ambulance since she fainted out at a clinet's house. If you haven't read previous posts, my sister has Grave's Disease which is hyperthyroidism. They treat it with radioactive iodine and/or surgery to remove the thyroid. She has a goiter now. So we are now trying to figure out how to get more iodine - which she happens to be alergic to (Ma said she was when she was a kid) - without eating a container of Morton salt and/or killing herself. I wasn't going to say this but this whole Grave's Disease didn't occur until she stopped smoking the you know. She's doing fine now and back to having road rage and checking to see if anyone is looking while she litters. She said she's trying to stop littering. One day at a time....
I love my sister and I'm going to tell her when she wakes up. She has Graves' Disease which is a hyperthyroid condition. It causes you to lose weight, hormonal problems, and bulging eyes. I offered her an iron pill. Wow, I remember my relatives swapping out pills. "Yeah lemme get a fluid pill for a pain killer." Shameful. Oh, this iron pill is my personalized crack. At first I thought this little baby was expensive - $1 per pill - on insurance. But now, I can't wait to take it. Is that a sign of addiction? If I have to ask, then I already know right? It has iron, folic acid, and B-12. Talk about pumped up.
Beloved Sister Girl suggested getting a camera from the pawn shops. Don't you know that all three we went to were closed. They close at 6pm. What's up with that. Don't they know that most people don't get off until 5pm. Geeze. I don't know about this pawn shop thing.
Route 66 - I like me some him. That's all I'm saying on that.
I talked to my sister and she's alive and well. She's doing it up in GA. She recorded the hook for a song and sounds really nice. I could have sworn she was depressed. But after sitting on the phone listening to her laugh it up with two or three people, I believe she's doing just fine. Yep, my sister has her mojo back - if she ever lost it. After visiting her pink and girly myspace page she finally added me. The reason for me calling her tonight was to find out about her thyroid condition. Ma had already told me about the song and the thyroid. Sister said she was tired and her feet were swelling up and her doctor said her neck was large. My sister does menstruate unlike me. All in all, her advice was to I get mine checked too.
I already made an appointment after stopping by two family practices offices to get my iron checked, but that's not until next week. I actually made appointments with both. I have decided to go to the one closer to my home because they seemed friendlier and the nurse gave me a little run down on getting my blood checked. I would come for a physical and would have to fast so a morning appointment could be made after seeing the doctor. Plus they had really nice furniture, a nice open layout, plenty of staff, and stations of hand sanitizer and lotion.
What about Sisterlocks, right? Tomorrow I have the follow-up visit. I wonder what's going to happen. I'll soon find out. In the meantime, I'll search through a few blogs to see if anyone mentions their third session.
A hat that fits!
