*Opens the door singing New Edition's Is this the End*Well blog fam..

Sorry, but I've tried to keep it up as much as possible and anyone who blogs knows that this is not easy. I appreciate all of my followers and hope you're not disappointed too much..Oh

So things have been going well with me and my daughter.. she's been opening up and asking me for things and we're really getting along well. Most recently we had a little incident with my cell phone that I just had to share with my blog family...Last weekend I'm sitting in the Blogadelphia chat room (hence the reason why my lazy behind ain't posted in a min - but I digress...) So as I'm sitting

I was recently conversating with my boyfriend this past weekend and we happened to start talking about past events in our lifes we wished could have happened differently. Events we now look upon with side splitting laughter because who would have thunk we would be so dumb to do them in the first place. You know how I say common sense is not common? Well I wasn't always this insightful nor wise...

Have you ever had someone come to your house and clear the entire room with their stank attitude or snooty position? I had a recent encounter with someone that literally left me speechless.. and I'm not usually a quiet person. I had just begun to eat my dinner with my best friend oneless and Mr Hubby when my doorbell rang. I knew that my b/f's daughter was coming by and I never have a problem

Hello everyone! These last few months I have been so anxious!! Anxious to find out the results from this day. I can honestly say, before Barack was ever a candidate, I said to myself: I will never see a black president in my life time, and if by some small chance we did he would be assasinated....shout out to all of the haters that fear a black man in a positive position of power!Once Barack was

Today has finally arrived and it's time to stop debating, contemplating and get your behind to a voting poll to cast your ballot. Every vote counts!! Be a part of this historic event. I will forever remember this day because this is the first chance we could legitimately have a black man in office.It's a warm 60 degrees here in Oakland and once the polls opened at 7am I was 32nd in line to vote.

Hey all.. I didn't mean to leave without an explanation, but things have been so busy at work and at home that I forgot to mention a very huge milestone (well at least for me) in the fact that I was asked to guest blog over at Watch Your Setup and have been busy trying to make sure that I'm able to fill both obligations. In doing so, I've literally been stressing myself in thinking "What am I

Okay so I'm at home one night and I'm a tv junkie (I need my fix erry night) so as I'm flipping through the channels a premiere comes up on Comedy Central for a new comedy starring David Allan Grier..yeah this fool from "In Living Color" on the right...

So I'm still on this kick of memories and I need to share like Romper Room "magic mirror" time.. so here we go! (I am not the only one who remembers that)I can recall a time when my daughter's biggest idol was that huge purple dinosaur Barney. He had video tapes, cd's, plush animal toys, games and whole gammit of things to spend my hard earned money on.. He even had his own gang.. yeah the yellow

So I'm sitting there yesterday staring at my blog and I couldn't remember nothing good to talk about, until I went home and the thoughts started rolling in.. memories to be more exact. I can recall 14 years of parenting and I thought I would share some with ya'll..I can remember sending my daughter to preschool back in the day when I worked for WMAC (Waste Management of Alameda County) and this

I've got a few random thoughts running through my head and I thought I would share them with ya'll.I wonder if my daughter knows that I am not her personal "finder". Why is it whenever she loses something in the house, the first question she asks is "Mom have you seen my _______?" Most of the times my answer is I don't wear/use/need your _____ so why would I know where it is? But this morning I

Well it finally aired last night and I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation. The groups honored were Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Naughty by Nature, Slick Rick and Too Short. This list worried me at first, because for the life of me (maybe it was the green bud's fault) but I couldn't remember most of the hits from these groups except De La & Too Short.. but last night brought it all back

Now since I don't like to harp on things, I'm going to make this short and sweet. It's been really working my nerves that I remember the name John McCain from earlier in life.. prior to him running for office of president. You know that feeling where you feel like you know someone, but can't put your finger on where it was you met or knew them from? Yeah well - I've been pondering this question

Keeping in line with my promise to keep this rolling until the VH1 Hip Honors, here are some more flashbacks that have been honored in the past.*side note*Has anyone been catching the Top 100 Hip Hop Songs countdown? Okay what is the deal with naming Planet Rock at like number 30 something?? I mean hands down this was the song that started a whole generation of "rappers" and hip hop itself. How

Now you know most of my blog fam caught last night's debate as well did I, and I was extremely impressed with Biden's ability to stay on topic and answer the questions at hand. Palin on the other hand made me feel like I was watching an episode of the Simpsons with the neighbor..Yeah... him..What I want to share with everyone today are the links to the different websites that are posting who

Sorry folks.. I haven't forgotten about ya'll.. I've been busy spending all day on Two Ditzy Broads with Why Wednesday's and having a ball.. I almost forgot that I had my own blog. Some days it isn't easy to come up with a topic, but today it took me almost the entire day to come up with an idea.. so in the spirit of Why Wednesday's.. here's my own little rant..Why my neighbor urks the hell out

So I'm finally back at work after the long hectic weekend. I needed just a day to recoup.. chile my back, legs and arms were all sore.. I never knew that tailgating was so much physical work! I have a new found appreciation for all those folks who let me crash their tailgate with beer in hand as a peace offering! I will never ever ever again try and cook and feed 20-30 mofo's AGAIN!

I just couldn't wait to upload this video.. this was the tailgate and the folks I call my Raider fam! You can hear me oh so distinctly in the background as I'm livening up the crowd. We had a ball even though the Raiders lost by a horrible 10 points.. 7 of which should have never been scored.. But I digress..Some things you can't make up.. some things you can't pretend.. love is one of those

It was a cold crisp afternoon when my coworkers and I arrived at our destination. We had driven for miles upon scenic routes with plenty of stops along the way that included jewelry stores and ceramics, beads, shells and things.. *like you don't remember Crooklyn* but what mattered most to me was our actual destination. Coming from a small town, I was a girl growing up knowing that I was the "

It will be our 5th annual Raiderfans.net tailgate this Sunday against the Chargers and I will be in full effect! If you

From the request of N0daysoff.. I'm forced (just kidding) to give you more info on "Mr Wifee" - by the way he hates this name - so I'm going to update it and call him by his almost legal name "Krazy Kwame" The name fits him to a tee.. he's what I would consider my modern day caveman.. don't give him nothing to fix.. he'll just smash it and buy another.. but he always seems to have patience for

So last night was my turn to go a day in my daughter's life as a freshman in high school. The evening began in the auditorium of Oakland Tech - which is one of the best schools in Oakland to attend. Just a few notable famous people have graduated from here:John Brodie ‘52: All-American QB at Stanford, All-Pro for San Francisco 49ers.Gabriel Carroll ‘01: International Math Olympian, Harvard

Well I couldn't just waste it.. that is agains the rules in this post. So of course I'm back at day one again, but I will get through this ya'll..Shouldn't I be following some steps or some ish?

My musical taste include the old school hip/hop, r&b and neo soul, but I can enjoy almost any genre of music from country, gospel, rock and even a little of that new hip/hop (not much though) but my daughter's taste in music is interesting (for lack of a better word) Yesterday as we are discussing our day, she makes mention of the VMA awards (for a complete recap - check out The Red Report) and

As you've seen there are not many subjects that I haven't touched on from politics, my "teenager", my family and love for Raider football (of which I.DO.NOT.WANT.TO.DISCUSS) I only have a few more untouched topics which are my "man" (for another post) and other people's children. If you notice all of my topics are easy to choose a pro or con side.. for my sake I will call them an ass whoopin or

Okay so I'm really not a fan of politics as I've stated below, but this weekend I happened across Real Time with Bill Maher.. now normally I would have channel skipped right passed this dude to the next reality tv show with some coontastic bafoonery going on, but Friday night made me stop and take notice. Now I don't want to beat this "Sarah Palin" horse into the ground, but this dude is funny as

So the weekend has come and gone and I bet your ready for another sequel in the life of my world. This weekend was pretty eventful to say the least. My brother drove down carrying my newest neice Bryn Janelle who is almost a year old:Ain't she the cutest?? Yeah I'm trying to put her on the right path with the football in the corner.. she's got a great arm too! Spending time with family is what I

The National Football League will honor Hall of Fame guard and longtime union leader Gene Upshaw in tributes to take place during the opening games this weekend and throughout the entire season.Upshaw's initials and his uniform number will be stenciled on the field for all 16 games this opening weekend. Also, all NFL players will sport patches with his initials "GU" and the number 63, his former

Yes folks.. it's finally that time of season where the pigskin flies and helmets clash - IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON!!! The season opened last night with a showdown between the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants and the Washington Redskins and the Giants prevailed with a 16-7 score. No surprise here except that Plaxico Burress finally signed his contract for a 11 mil for the next season.. dayum how can

I don't normally discuss politics until this recent election year. I'm wondering what in the hell is going on in McCain's mind to pick a woman he not only met once, but he had no clue that she couldn't run her own household.. much less the country.Here are the facts:She's only been govenor for 1 year and a half.. governing 9000 residents of Alaska (who?) yeah Alaska... previous to this she was a

Having an only child means that she is spoiled more often than not. I don't spoil her because she's the only one, but rather because she deserves it. She works hard as a student and daughter and so ususally when she has a request of me, I usually grant it.Not today though.. she called me and stated she was on the bus coming home and could she and her friend go back to the school (because she

This is just sad.. I DO NOT WANT TO BE ANY OF THESE PEOPLE.. Who told Auntie Ri Ri and Uncle Scooter that they could go to the retirement party and do this? Most of them look like they are about to do the running man without the walker.. Lawd I know the parting gifts had to be a year's supply of Ben Gay and $50 off hip replacement gift certificates.. *smh*

Okay so enough about my daughter for now.. my new topic is in regard to my lovely younger sister who came out from the Wood (Ingle) to visit me this past weekend. She brought along her entourage of bff'ers and I was surrounded by 25 year olds who thought I was still in my prime.*Let's get this clear.. I am not old.. but I'm not young either. I know I have no business being in the club at my age*

Sometimes being a parent you have days where you want to ring your child's neck and other days where they remind you that you are doing the right thing. Children crave discipline - it's why they show out and act a fool half the time... if there's no one there to tell them no or this is wrong.. they have no clue. My girl is not a bad girl.. I've seen some of the hoochies that she's gone to school

So as my daughter is entering her first year in high school she received her schedule of classes and noticed that Mandarin was one of the classes... uh... eh? Not the orange ya'll the actual language.. now excuse my nerd for a minute, but aren't there like 50-11 Chinese dialects and Mandarin is just one of them? Okay so she's been dying to take a spanish class (Ay dios Mio) so in order to get her

Well as promised I had the "talk" with my daughter last night. It was one of those "uh oh.. damn she didn't forget" kind of conversations.. I let her know right off the bat that I don't think she's a bad child, but the path she's trying to take - I'm trying to nip in the bud so to speak. So before I begin I pull out her signed and dated "mommy contract" and have her recite a portion of the

Well here we are.. post number deaux! I couldn't just leave ya'll hanging until tomorrow in so much supsense as to what is going on with my daughter... so I came back to put up one more for today. She had been begging me for the past three years for her very own cellphone to the point where I even made it a school project. I had her write me a report on the pros of a cell phone for a teenager.

Oooh my first post on my very own blog... Yippee.. *looks around the room and hears crickets* Oh well even if I only get one person to read this a day will be enough for me to keep it going. My first topic will be my only child - my 14 year old daughter who has thus far been a pretty good kid. It's imperative as parents that we stay on top of our children and what they are doing (shout out to
