….do I get dressed in a semi-dark room on a semi-regular basis and still act surprised when my look is a bit off once I see it in full light?
….was I personally offended when “Team Mission” lost Restaurant Wars on Top Chef even though I could tell early on that they weren’t going to be able to pull it off?
….did I just spend 10 minutes coloring in the little white fuzzies on my black tights w/a Sharpie? (Um, I’m not the only person who’s ever done this, right? Right??? Refer to first bullet if you’re wondering why I needed to do this!)
….did I think that Kim calling NeNe a moose on RHOA last night was one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a long time?
….is my child trying her best to celebrate Halloween even though I’ve told her repeatedly that we do not?
….am I having difficulty accessorizing a basic, gray sweater dress that I bought recently? Any ideas?
….is my right hand so stankin’ dry? My left hand looks good – my right hand looks like I am a day laborer in a flour factory. Aargh!
….did I forget to go to a meeting yesterday? My boss swung by at 10:30 and asked me to go to a noon meeting. I didn’t remember until almost 3:00.
….did I have to call one of my white friends yesterday and tell her that her FB posting a video of a black baby dancing is cool – but that writing “looks just like a little monkey with rhythm” is not?
….have I missed so many episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm that I didn’t know Larry was dating? What happened to his wife??
….cannot I wear a belt to save my life? Yeah, yeah, I can wear one with pants in the proper loops, but I cannot belt a sweater/cardigan/shirt and look right to save my life! Mrs. Obama (and S23) has the look down pat – I look slightly “special” every time I try it!
….don’t you share some of your recent ponderings with us?
LOL at your tights! I’ve never done that nor have I ever heard of anybody doing that.
We didn’t participate in Halloween either growing up (still don’t for that matter). My mommy would buy us candy and we’d sit at home with all the lights out watching movies and chowing down. There was always a group of us sitting in the office during the Halloween parade at school so I didn’t feel completely left out.
Are you serious about your friend? Monkey? In 2009? Good grief. Did she take it down?
Mmkay, I need y’all to disregard the tights confession – apparently I walk alone! I thought I was wearing a new pair, but obviously put on an old pair that should’ve been trashed.
Thankfully she’s at a Christian pre-school so I don’t have to worry about that right now, but she is still obsessed with Halloween.
Yep, dead serious. She did take it down, but I couldn’t believe she’d posted it in the first place. Wow.
Really? You were routing for Team Mission? I like Mike Isabella from that team, but the rest – not so much. There’s something to love/hate about the Voltaggio brothers. Jennifer definitely dodged a bullet though. My only complaint about the show is that sometimes judging is arbitrary. Some weeks, they base it on that night only. Other weeks, you can clearly tell that when one of the best chefs does bad, they don’t want to send that person home so that soften their critique and judge the whole body of work so far.
I’ll be happy when the RHOA ends and the RH Orange County begins. I couldn’t stomach the ATL ladies.
The Voltaggios just irritate me – though I think it’ll come down to the two of them and Kevin. I’m rooting for Kevin. Yep – no consistency as it relates to judging – no matter what the show says. Jennifer definitely deserved to go home this week.
RHOA is my guilty pleasure. I watch the other ones, but follow ATL the closest.
monkey? thems fighting words. I’m glad you explained it to her. Larry and his wife got divorced, then he was dating Vivica Fox for awhile.. LOL @ one ashy hand.. I got 2 of them bad boys. LOL You can just miss a meeting and nobody says anything? How can I be down…
She’s a really nice girl, I truly don’t think she knew any better re: the monkey comment. Which is totally mind-blowing in 2009, but I guess ignorance will always be with us.
Thanks for the CYE update – I’ve obviously missed a lot!
Umm, I still haven’t confessed that I missed the meeting. I’ll let you know what happens.
If I find the holy grail of moisturized hands, I’ll pass the info along!
LOL @ your tights. Naw I can’t say that I’ve done that before but I will keep that in mind for future reference. I usually just pluck them off.
That moose joke was funny. I’m a fan of NeNe but she (and that wandering eye of hers) was so over the top last night she turned me off. How dreadful.
Gray is neutral so anything will go well with it (just like black). I like this look a lot.

A monkey?????????????????????? Jesus wept.
If the fuzzies had been minimal, plucking definitely would’ve been in order, but uh – yeah, the Sharpie was very necessary!
NeNe was awful last night – just real spiteful and messy. Poor little attention hog.
Thanks for the pic – I’m thinking belts and I are just not cool. But you already know I’m down with tights, and if I ever find a pair of boots – it is on!
Jesus wept? LOL x2!!! Girl, I had to call one of our mutual FB friends to make sure that I wasn’t misreading her status update. I wasn’t.
Lol @ getting dressed in the dark! Hilarious! It took one time of me getting dressed in the dark & not liking the outcome to nix that idea!! Lol! Rashan has gone to work with TWO DIFFERENT SHOES ON!!! They don’t feel different???? Crazy! Yeah… I called him out. Lololol. On the monkey tip, is she serious!?! I had to get on a white dude for that, too. I need to know what the gray sweater dress looks like. Is there a cowl? A turtleneck? You can do a necklace, earrings, tights & bangles w/bright shoes for a pop of color since you can’t really get w/the belts (hilarious BTW!) or if it’s fitted, you can do the leggings (I’m not sooo much a fan of leggings) with a fitted cardigan, pearls & black pumps.
Ahem. I too have gone to work in two different shoes…
Thanks for your help with the dress. Now if it would just cool down enough for me to wear it! No worries – leggings are not for me.
Oh & I always tried to celebrate Halloween every year too… and failed. Lololol. Top Chef hurt my little heart! If Jen had gone home… let’s not even finish that sentence! Glad Laurine was out! NEXT ROBIN!! This coat tail riding chick!!!!
Re: FB I unfriended a girl I went to elementary and jr high school with. She didnt go to our HS because she spent the 6th-8th being too black…even got spiral curls and would walk around with Car.e Fre.e Cur.l products. Present day, you’d never know she went throug that stage…married an Italian has 3 strapping boys. Her status the other day said she’d “gone to the ghetto nail shop and they put decorations on my nails…just call me Bonquita” REALLY? Who gave you that pass? Ignorant heffa.
“looks just like a little monkey with rhythm” is not? WHAAAAAATTTTT?
OMG @ the monkey comment!!!
Nene being called a Moose was the highlight of the show for me last week.
