My rapping nephew...Halloween Style!

Video Idea

I'm struggling figuring out what I want to do. I'm thinking I want to do something fun and relative to my family. I have a few family activities taking place this weekend so my video uploads will contain family time. I'm so quick to change my mind so this may definitely change.

The Desperate Woman!

So let's talk about it. Where do I start? I had a phone a conversation with a dear friend of mine with whom I often exchange theories. He told me (of course it's a man) that women are the problem. Yup we're the problem. According to his theory men in high school/college court their women "better" because women demand it "better." According to him, we're hot sh!t in our early years and we're in control of the dating game. We create rules such as; he has to drive at least a _____ type of car, he has to take me out at least ___x a week, and he has to "dress" like _____. And since men are so hormonal at that age they do whatever they have to do to make it happen. So think back to your college days. Did the guy with the nice car have the girls? Did the guy who dressed the best have the girls? Did the guy participating in "pharmaceutical sales" have the girls? If you answered yes, than my friend's theory has some validity. 

So fast forward to today, do still have those same standards? Instead of a type of car...he should just have transportation. Instead of taking you out...we can watch an OnDemand movie and eat leftovers? Instead dressing a particular way...please wear clean clothes without holes. Some of these maybe extreme or not? If we're constantly lowering our demand the supply will also lower. When you're getting to know someone a date should not be at a house! If you took your time to look your best, you should demand that he also look his best. If you're working hard, you should demand a partner that works hard. Don't let age turn to desperation!

Feeling a little old!

So just when I was about to get all over this song and the direction of today's music. I realized that the singer is Willow Smith, child of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. She was born in...wait for it...2000!&(*#)(@! What is up with that? She's 10! So because she's only 10 it makes the song cute and not as stupid as I originally thought.

I do think she's a little grown for 10. I don't have any children but as I researched the song, to slam it, I saw pictures of her and that's a lot going on for a ten year old. My niece is 9, she's very expressive, but she still appears to be 9. This child here appears to be at least 14/15, and as a child, 4 years is a big difference. 

I'm a little discombobulated over this one soooo I'm done!

Football Football Football

So yesterday we (RAVENS) took a "L" and I have a few a comments about how we got that "L"...surprise surprise surprise.Well first of all I wasn't too surprised that we lost. No that doesn't mean that I'm one of those "Brady is the best" or "NE is untouchable" fans. But I do consider mental and emotional factors when it comes to football.

Factor 1: NE was home
Factor 2: NE needed to vindicate from that playoff game
Factor 3: Brady was quite annoyed with Lewis' referee comments
Factor 4: NE was just coming off a Bye

Now back to the Ravens. I wasn't happy with our defense or offense but we're going to concentrate on the offense today. I like Flacco. I don't think he's a great QB but he does have potential. My issue with the offense comes from the lack of confidence. I still can't wrap my head around the decision to punt the ball with 4th and inches??? If that doesn't send a negative message to your offensive line than what does...oh wait I have an answer...punting at 4th and one! Give me a break. Flacco isn't Peyton Manning but he also isn't Kyle Boller. Are you telling me that at 6'6" Flacco couldn't put in a QB sneak for a first down. Did NE defense scare us? Another problem I have, which shows lack of confidence, and this lies with Flacco and the coaching and that's independence.

It is clear that Flacco only does what he's told...no more, no less. If the play calls to pass to Boldin than he passes to Boldin regardless of who is in a better position. Flacco needs to know where his receivers are and not just the receiver who is expected in the play. He is spending too much waiting for the receiver to become open and not surveying the field. He's holding the ball too much which is causing him to just toss the ball to Rice whose not able to pick up enough yards in the time allotted.

We need to use our weapons: Yesterday we heard T.J. once and McGahee never...this shouldn't happen. Our offense is becoming predictable. We have a fantastic offensive roster that we need to take advantage of. Flacco connects with one receiver and sticks with it. Although Branch was a former Patriot, Brady was able to use him as if he's been there all along.

Switch up the play: If I see one more toss to Rice as he runs for 3 yards I will scream. Can I get a pump fake, a screen pass...something beyond a toss.

There's no reason we shouldn't win against Buffalo but we can't take any team for granted. Let's go RAVENS!!!!

For the "Plump" Woman Only - This page will self-destruct of all others!

I'm Fabulously Plump! I did a little shopping this weekend. It's been a treat week for me. I checked out Baltimore's plus-size boutique, K Staton and picked me up a little dress number that will enhance my fabulously plump lifestyle. I also checked out the best shoe store in town, Poppy and Stella, for some hot pumps that I can walk in and that gives my calf that umph that only a good heel can do for a calf. I have my bad days, but even on a bad day there are things that you will never see:

• My belly - Why-o-why do women with "muffin tops" or better yet "bundt cakes" choose to buy short shirts with their belly hanging out?

• My roll - By default, you know that I have a roll but I don't feature it. If you have a roll please do not outline it by wearing your jeans underneath your stomach, tucking your shirt in, and then top it off by wearing a belt. Use your jeans as a control mechanism and tuck in your gut, not your shirt.

• My ass - Low-rise jeans are NOT for everyone. Plump women need to know what works and what doesn't work. Just because your jeans made it pass your thighs it does not mean that they fit. If you sit down and feel air at your crack, your jeans are too small. 

• My breast - You may catch me with a little cleavage showing, but my goodness, everything except for the nipple is blinding. If your cleavage is exposed so much that you can use it as a cup holder that's a problem! If your cute, let your face be the highlight and not your breast.

This is not a joke! I'm telling you this because I love you. We need to stick together. We may not have as many options as smaller woman but we have options.

If you want to know anything about me just read this post:

Don't ask me why but today I feel like doing a tell all on myself. For the most part I am what you see but like everyone else I have a deep dark secret life that today I'm going to share:

My confessions

1. I can't swim - The water scares me and when I'm in the water I feel like I don't have control of myself and I like to be in control.
2. I can't ride a bike - Balancing myself on two wheels never appealed to me especially when considering the idea of falling.
3. The best job I've ever had is the one I'm doing now. I love working for myself even though it can be a bit stressful.
4. I miss selling Tastefully Simple even though I still have a cabinet full of goodies.
5. I voted for Erhlich and would do it again if it wasn't for my sister.
6. I want to be a contestant on Amazing Race.
7. I have a favorite uncle.
8. Fish and grits are my absolute favorite meal.
9. I don't like chocolate cake.
10. My car hasn't been washed in over a year.
11. Because I work from home I usually don't shower until the afternoon.

Well that's it. You know all about me. I can no longer hide behind my dark side. Don't judge me.
