Ramblings

Alright so I’m pissed! Well not really pissed but a little frustrated.

 

First off my beautician cannot style my hair! I don’t get it. I got my hair cut in certain style (by someone else) and she just doesn’t style it right. I’ve try to tell her what I want; I’ve even brought in pictures. I mean I can style it by myself but I want someone else to do it every now and then. Plus I can’t curl the back like she does.  But I am so tempted to go in there next time and say just give me a relaxer and sit me under the dryer and I’ll go home and do the rest! I mean she’s a sweet lady and my hair is really healthy but I want a STYLE!!!!!!!

Secondly, I went to wal-mart tonight to get my final gift for the season (whoo hoo!). I decided to get a book (since I’m doing absolutely nothing). So I went looking for two specific books, the Conversation by Hill Harper and Living and Loving Out Loud by Cornel West. Do you think I found them? No! But I did see a million and one copies of New Moon, Dirty Old Men, every Danielle Steel novel ever written, and plenty other sleezy Black novels.  Now, I’m not downing any of the books they had. I absolutely love the Twilight Saga, I hear Danielle Steel is a wonderful author, and my personal bookshelf is full of those sleezy Black novels. But tonight I didn’t want to read a Tween book or something that would leave me alone and… And I didn’t want to go to bed thinking because I’m Black, educated, and ambitious I’m going to be single for the rest of my life. (Once again I’m not hating on these novels, I own several). I wanted to read something thought provoking. I wanted to be challenged intellectually. And I wanted the author to be Black. Is that too much to ask for!?!? Apparently it is!!!!

Lastly, Hill Harper has a girl friend!!!! What am I supposed to do!?!? He’s not going to fall in love with me when he sees me if he’s dating someone else! If Cousin Jeff has a girl I may just let myself go. What’s would be the point!

Alright well I like balance so let’s talk about three good things that happened today.

First, I was out of the house for more than 30 minutes for the first time since Saturday. YAH FOR ME!!!!

Next, I learned how to put eyeliner underneath my eyes! I’ve been trying to do this for a while now (some years) but it never turns out quite right. Not today, today my eyes were stunning lol (ok so that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it looked the way it should).

Finally, (I hope you guys are ready because this is HUGE) both Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s have individual servings of ice cream. Not the pint size ones but the ones you get at birthday parties. You know the one that comes with the little wooden spoon.  OMG this is amazing news!!!! Most of you already know I LOVE ice cream like really LOVE it (potential suitors please take notes). But I’m kinda an ice cream snob and the east coast doesn’t have the ice cream I like so I have to settle for Haagen Dazs and Ben & Jerry’s.  The good thing is since I don’t like it as much I don’t eat as much. Anyhow, back to the news… yes they have these little individual servings for like $1.00. I know my OK and TX friends are like wth!?! That’s a rip off! Yes friends it is even ice cream is expensive here!   That’s neither here nor there. I can get a small serving of ice cream whenever I want it and I’m sooo super duper excited! It’s the little things people!
