I am all WOMAN

"You are a delicate flower, soft & warm, feminine in every way, nothing less than a lady... My lady" These are the poetic words I received in a text from my man yesterday and they brought a smile to my face! Awww how sweet it is to be loved. I love being a woman. I was just thinking the other day how great it is to be female. We rule the world and bring life and comfort to all. I just love doing my make up, wearing different fashions, indulging myself with a new recipe or making a mess of something in the kitchen, changing up my hairstyles, smelling like a "japanese cherryblossom", and most of all having a vagina lol I know I know so lude but it is the one thing that all women have and can use to our advantage. I'm not talking about selling it just 'using what yo momma gave ya.' lol Like S.Harvey said in his book, "ya'll women just don't know how good you have it and how much power you give to men when you give away that cookie to one that is undeserving."

On another note...
I love that the weather is breaking here now because sunshine is my favorite kind of weather. I wish it could be sunny always but I do appreciate the life that rain brings to the earth.

Harlem Heights Review

So this past Monday the new BET show "Harlem Heights" debuted. Living in Harlem, I must say, I can appreciate the show for the way it shines light on various boutiques, lounges, and other hot spots throughout the Harlem neighborhood. I mean who knew there was a wine bar or a high end mens suit store literally 5 blocks away from my house. The show delves into the lives of these 8, 20something, positive men and woman living, loving, partying, working, and pursuing their dreams, but it also delves into the great neighborhood of Harlem. It lets people see what Harlem does have to offer, what makes it unique, and why its a Mecca for many African Americans today. Thats what i enjoyed most about the show...

I WANT Her HAIR!!!

Ok....I dont know what that is, how I find it, where I put it, or what to do with it....but I want her hair! OMG!, how I do love Rihanna so! I love a woman about style, a woman with her own style, and a woman strong enough to pull of a variety of looks...and that she is! Having just acquired a new short do of my own, Im just getting comfortable with showing it off and styling it myself. I cant wait for it to grow out a little more so I can rock the Rihanna-esque look.....tre' fabulous!!!!:)

Time for Whats on My Mind...

All my good morning texts and emails were met with replies of how wonderful my girl friends nights were, meaning, how wonderful the sex was last night! I guess everyone took it being "Hump" day to heart:) I must say my favorite good morning reply today was from my...ummm..."special friend", "significant other", whatever the term is for someone you've been "dating" for almost 2 years but doesnt want to technically be in a relationship (??, I know)...anywho, it was my absolute favorite because he just got "tested", after I did last week, and Im proud to say that we're both NEGATIVE. You can practice safe sex, and try to hopefully remain in a monogamous relationship with whoever your with, but those 20 minutes of wait can be the most nerve racking of a person's life. Just imagine, in one instant your life is changed, FOREVER...

So tomorrow is one of my bestest friends birthday party and I cant wait! Since getting older, birthdays seem to be the only time when EVERYONE comes out to party now, and her birthday and my birthday are like the two highlights of the year, her's kicks it off and mines ends it, lol. I bought a dress like 3 weeks ago in anticipation and even shoes to match, I dont have a bag though, which means im going to have to make a mad dash to 34th street after work tomorrow and hope theres a grey clutch with my name on it out there!...he he he, im so excited!, I better have fun too:)
And my hair looks so cute today too, of course cause im just at work doing nothing, now watch tomorrow when im trying to achieve this look its gonna look like anything but!...

I found a new lunch spot that im going to try out today. Ive been stalking this place for weeks now, casually trying to peak through the window as I'd walk by, lol. Yesterday I finally took the time to stop and read the menu I saw posted on the door, and they seem to have pretty good food selections and prices. The winner for me was the "create your own salad" with 4 toppings starting at $3.95!!!, the place I go to now for my create your own salad is freakin $6.50!!! Its so expensive to eat healthy...he he he, speaking of healthy...last night I was laying in bed and an old Tyra show came on and it was about obese teens. They started showing the guests, 15, 16, and 17 year olds that weighed like 200, 300, and even 400 pounds! As soon as I saw them why did I get out of bed, at 12:30am, and did like 50 crunches!!!, lol...

And speaking of Tyra, I watched the new season of America's Next Top Model last night. I must say, they'll never be another Eva Diva!, she was the most gorgeous Top Model to come from that show...I had her pegged from the moment I saw her on the commercials. This new crop of model "wanna-be's" is so so, I dont see any stand out winners like with Eva, but I see some with potential. I liked a girl who goes by the name of Fo. She's Black and Mexican and has the most cutest freckles ever...I want freckles!, lol. Oh!, they showed a commercial for applicants for next season of the show (already?, I know right), and there suprisingly looking for girls who are 5'7 and under!! I think the age range is up to 24 or 25 though...man if I was...2 years younger!!!...he he he....

...stay tuned for next thoughts!
