Ho Hum

  • So, I’m diagnosing myself with SAD – Seasonal Affective Disorder.  I haven’t seen any sunshine since I left CA a week ago.  And I am pissy.  In my mind the two are connected.  Seriously, I don’t know how people handle going months without sunshine.  Just gimme the light!
  • Last night I went to see Eric Benet at the fair. The little dude puts on a pretty good show and has a nice voice – however, I don’t know a thing he sings outside of Chocolate Legs and Georgie Porgie.  Thankfully he sang them both – otherwise I’da been totally lost.  Pserendipity on the other hand is a stan for Eric and knew every word of every song.  I don’t think I’ve ever seen her as animated as she was last night.  She rushed the stage and errythang!  Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera to capture the moment, but trust – it happened.  I spent most of my time marveling at the hot messes fashions that were on display.   Until you’ve seen a joker leaning back in the cut in a brown suit whilst sporting a  sequined fedora you haven’t lived!
  • Why do people insist on running across the street to get to work?  Man, the light will change again – it is not that serious.  Please believe me when I say you will never ever catch Nerd Girl sprinting across State Street to get to work.  Nope – aint happening.  Tall chick with the dreads strolling across the street in rain, sleet, sunshine or snow?  Yep – that’d be me.
  • Don’t tell anyone…I haven’t done any work since I got back to MS.  None.  I’ve spent my days surfing the web, checking folks FB statuses and giving myself a full out manicure – one fingernail at a time.  Even I am ashamed at how little I have done to earn my $$$ $ this month.
  • Speaking of trifling.  Remember my little giveaways a few months ago?  Yeah, so I still owe AR Gal her prize.  And Kelly’s book came back in the mail.  So I need to get to the post office ASAP and get these packages off and stop tripping.  No later than Monday ladies – pinky swear.

And finally, a question four questions and a poll.  Do you/your children celebrate Halloween?  Why?  Why not?  If you celebrate an alternative – Fall Festival, etc. do you allow your children to dress in costume for that celebration?

  1. Nerd Girl, why Eric gotta be little? LMAO

    I haven’t done any work since I got back to MS. None. I’ve spent my days surfing the web, checking folks FB statuses

    I’ve done just enough to get by. I am not ashamed.

    LOL at my prize. I’m guessing you’ll send it sometime before 12/25 making it an early Christmas gift.

    If I had kids, I wouldn’t have a problem with them dressing up for Halloween. Ironically, I can count on one hand the times I went trick or treating. It wasn’t because my mother was against it, I just don’t think she felt like being bothered. lol

  2. “Why do people insist on running across the street to get to work? Man, the light will change again – it is not that serious.” SOMEONE NEEDS TO PUT THIS ON A T-SHIRT! Seriously, as many people hate their jobs, there is no good reason to be rushing to work.

    On the Halloween piece, nope I don’t celebrate it. I’m a Baptist Christian and we were always taught not to celebrate Pagan holidays. Every other holiday (even Valentine’s Day) can somehow be linked to Christianity. But Halloween is the devil’s day and so we didn’t celebrate it growing up and I don’t celebrate it now.

    I guess if I was Mexican I could celebrate dia de los muertes because celebrating ancestors is a bit different than getting dressed up and begging for candy, but I’m not, so I don’t do that either.

    I don’t have any kids, but my mom told me she was taking my nieces to a Halloween/Birthday party and I had a fit. If I so much as put on an extra piece of jewelry on October 31st when I was a shorty, I was in BIG trouble. I told her, she and my sister (who went along with this “it’s no big deal” nonsense) were slacking in their old age.
