Call me Scrooge..

Call me Scrooge..

Mis-Adventures
Whenever I have a strong reaction to something, I try to figure out why.. I usually find that whenever I'm upset with something it stems from some major issue I probably haven't gotten over in life. . So why would I care to write about this. Yesterday was my buildings Secret Santa exchange .. rather than type up a full summar I'm going to take pieces from GChat to show my true reaction of what happened:: OMG i am bout to sound so ungrateful but we did our office secret santa today and like everyone had to write down 3 things they wanted i wrote down nail polish, sephora gift card, and ipad charger ...   do u know what i got? a snowflake votive candle it was a 15 dollar limit…

Holiday Hoe Down

Holiday Hoe Down

Lifestyle
The holidays are upon us again. I think I've made it no secret that the holidays are a tough time of year for me.  Why? This concept of FAMILY. What does it mean? Most would lead you to believe family is blood. Family are the genial relatives who make you feel worse about yourself sometimes before you feel better. But think of SATC. Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte were a family, no? Were they not there for each other through good, bad, up, down, left, right and upside down? The Holidays always force me to face the reality of what I define as my family and make me choose between spending time with my "family" and my FAMILY. The other day I worked myself into a tizzy thinking about my Thanksgiving…

Celebrate Kwanzaa

Lifestyle
I've been meaning to write about Kwanzaa since the day after Christmas, but all types of holiday stuff had me too busy. I can't say that I actually participate in Kwanzaa, but I think that people have the wrong idea of what it exactly is. Some think of it as an alternative to Christmas when its not actually so. In fact, Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday versus being a religious one. Kwanzaa was "created" in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, a professor of Africana Studies at California State University during the Black Freedom Movement. t is celebrated December 26-January 1. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili. Its thought to reflect the communities concern for cultural grounding and the unity…

Merry Christmas… Bah Humbug

Lifestyle
I have to wish all my readers (however many there may be) a wonderful holiday wish! I'm not the biggest fan of holiday cheer, but everyone needs some.  I got in my car tonight and realized I didn't get chance to burn my Xmas cd and it made me sad.. I try to get as much cheer as I can before my family ruins it. Oh well.. Hope you have lots of good times and holiday cheer (a.k.a liquor)!!!
