I disappeared and I haven't blogged in 15 days. I actually tried to blog last week but after I typed up the blog blogger ate it. I was too tired to do it again.
I started my new job. I like it but the pay is horrible. Definitely gives me an idea on what I want to do career wise.
Last week I blogged about a local tragedy. I still want to share the story so I guess I will. Two Fridays ago one of my mother's friends was killed along with her mother. They were allegedly stabbed to death by the mother's 54 year old niece. The mother had just turned 85 and the family had planned a big celebration. On the day of the celebration they had to bury her. What makes the tragedy so much worse was they were found by their grandson/great-grandson who also had found his mother dead (from an illness) about 5 years ago. It is still shocking and hard to comprehend. Please pray for the family.
I honestly have no words about Michael. Michael was my first concert. I went to the Thriller concert in Houston, TX. I actually remember him performing "Thriller". I still don't completely believe it but while they have been playing all his music I figured out what my favorite MJ song is. I love "Rock With You"! That song describes to me how I feel when I dance. I just want to say that Michael was the greatest entertainer. I refuse to speak anything bad about him. His issues were his issues and there is nothing we can do about it. Respect the man's genius.
I had a stupid girl moment last week. During my stupid girl moment I had some very supportive friends. Thank you guys! I will try not to do that ever again.
Also I opened up last week and I just didn't get the acknowledgement I expected it but it did make me see things in a different perspective. I appreciate the acknowledgement I received but I doubt that I will open up again. Thanks for the experience.
I have a friend who I love to death but I have determined that the feeling is not mutual. I serve a purpose in that person's life. The need for me is not often so this friend rarely communicates with me. I can call this friend and chances are I will get voice mail or I will call you sometime next week. Something finally clicked in my head and now I don't even call this person. I still love her but it is definitely from afar. It just proves the point that certain things change people.
I am going to kill Bridezilla. The $148 dress is now on sale for $59.99 and guess who can't get her money back b/c of the 30 day return policy.
Can I just say I am not surprised?!!!!! I gave the sideeye on day 1. I am shocked that it blew up so quickly but definitely not surprised that it happened.
That is all!
Smooches,

Let It All Out
I think I am getting tired of blogging.
So my good news that I didn't want to share until I knew I was absolutely sure is I have a job. It isn't in the legal field and I am cool with that. I actually have training next week so I will be away from my computer all day long. Pray that I can stay awake!
So part-time boo is all up under me (yes I said "all up under me"). I have heard from him almost every day of this week and part of last. He is just all over the place.
Crush is going to slowly drive me crazy. I actually saw him on Wednesday and we talked about our situations. He basically told me that he had commitment issues. I understand and I was walking in with my eyes wide open. So in my mind we were cool. Then I talked to him yesterday and I said I wanted to hang out. He then gave me the run around. So I called him on it and he told me that he didn't want to get attached to me. I cannot deal with him.
Last night I met a youngin. I don't know why the youngins flock to me. At least he is a presentable youngin. He is a cutie and he is quite intelligent. He is also from the Midwest and a gentleman. His only flaw is he worships Ko.be. I can let that go since probably the next time I see him the playoffs will be over.
I honestly feel like I don't fit in. Most people have friend groups by I find that I only truly enjoy one or two people in the group. It gets awkward for me. I think that is why I always invite all my friends to do stuff with me and none of them are alike. Oh well!
I need to get me together!

Randoms of Coco
Sorry I didn't give you a dose of my normal Thursday blog but I was all over the place.
Thursday I had the opportunity to meet my newest wish child! It was great! She wants to have a fancy sweet sixteen. I am so ready to plan and dress up.
I went to the new hair stylist. It was interesting and I am going to give her another try.
Part time keeps popping back up and I don't know what is going on.
My philosophy on men is: They are like little kids at Christmas. They love their new toy and play with it every day for a little while. When they grow tired of the every day play they play with it every once in awhile. Ladies we are that toy they got for Christmas. That is why until they make a commitment keep it moving. I mean a real commitment. I know men who don't feel truly committed until they say I do but I hope that is not the case in your relationship.
Why do you get that feeling when an ex crosses your mind? That feeling of anger or loss but you know that if he showed up today, free and clear, you would run in the other direction.
I am in a comfortable place right now. I can't explain it but I just am.
I finally got my dad's car and it works well. I am so happy to be able to come and go as I please.
Last Saturday I helped my friend move out of her apartment. That was pretty interesting.
Also last Saturday I went out to eat with one of my law school roommates. She is such a sweetie. She took me out to celebrate a few things including a late birthday dinner. We went to a restaurant that allegedly had a menu that only contained items under 475 calories. I refuse to believe that my meal was under 475 calories but it was great. I had crab stuffed shrimp. It was very well seasoned and very filling. Afterwards we did a little shopping. I exchanged the shoes my stepmom got me and bought some cute jeans from BR. I love that store.
I have no more. My life is so boring!

Another Angry Black Woman Moment
So I had another angry black woman moment. Actually it wasn't really an angry black woman it was just angry woman moment. Wanna hear it, here it goes:
Friday I had to drive to Atlanta and I knew I needed gas so I decided that I would stop at Krog.er's on my way to Atlanta. Well everybody else had the same idea. I drove up to the gas area and looked around to see what would be the easiest pump to get gas from. I saw one pump that had only one person at it. The woman had just pulled her car up to the pump after someone left. I had to drive up to the front of her car but I gave her enough room to go around me. She went to pay for her gas and then she began pumping. Let me just let you know I pulled up in front of her b/c unlike most cars B.MW puts their gas opening on the passenger side. There are some cars that have them on the passenger side but the average one is on the driver side.
So while the woman was pumping her gas this chick comes up behind her and then decides to pretend like she doesn't see me and goes to pay for her gas. That is when
I decide I am not letting that pass. I mentally decide that I sat there for all that time no one was going to get gas until I got gas. Normally I would have let it slide but who wants to get stuck in Atlanta traffic b/c someone took advantage of them? Well the lady finished pumping her gas and drove around me and the chick behind her pulled up. I pull up at the same time to ensure the pump doesn't reach her car. She then looks at me like I am crazy. I proceed to go off on her while sitting in my car. I make sure she knows that no one is getting gas until I get mine. She realizes that hey she just might be crazy and she decides it is in her best interest to move out of my way. You would think that would be the end of it but know this old white heffa decided she was going to do the same thing. That is when I lost it. If you are my fac.ebo.ok friend you now know where my whole "sense of entitlement" status comes from.
She pulls her vehicle up and tells me that she is getting gas. I make sure she cannot pull her car up far enough to pump. Then I am thinking to myself now if the last person didn't get gas do you really think you are. She gets out and tells me that she is getting gas and goes to pay for it. I sit in the car with it turned off to let her know she isn't getting gas from that particular pump. While attempting to pay for her gas she tells the attendant on me. Mind you I am sitting directly in front of the booth to pay for the gas so he saw me sitting there the whole time waiting patiently after the original lady paid for her gas. He looks at her like I can't do anything b/c she was there first. When she realizes he isn't going to do anything she walks up to my car to say something. I look at her like you must not know about me. She then tells me that she is going to get her gas. I tell her she won't be getting gas until I get mine b/c I was there before anyone else and that is how it works. She then tells me that everyone was facing the pump in the other direction. I proceed to tell her that my gas tank is on the passenger side and there is nothing I can do about that. She needs to talk to the manufacturer if she wants something done. She then realizes that the only way she was getting gas was to move out of my way. I meant it when I said that sense of entitlement isht stops with me on Friday. She was wrong and I wasn't going to let her get away with it.
I may have let her get the gas had she not told me that she was getting her gas and I basically needed to move out of her way. I could have dealt with it differently but I don't regret putting her in her place. It was obvious that I got there way before she did and the chick in front of her didn't get gas so there is no way she was if I had something to say about it. Maybe next time I will be nicer but she really tried me and I was fed up with the fact that certain people have a sense of entitlement.

Tell 'Em How You Feel Thursday
I gotta speak first on the dumb broad in Philly! That was a hot mess to say the least. I just feel like black men should be able to sue her for that mess. I know they can't but seriously I wish they could. I know when every black person heard they were like why did she tell that lie. The first thing I thought was they are going to find that little girl dead and her mom decided the only way to get away with it was say a black man did it. I honestly don't know what that was. So you go to the airport where there are security cameras everywhere. Then you carry your behind to Dis.ney Wor.ld. That is just a hot mess. I am actually mad at the people at the counter--does the woman really look like her co-worker? I am thinking probably not. And did the co-worker say anything to the police once the chick was allegedly abducted. All I can say if you are going to make up a story at least plan better. Make up a description in your head and practice it. I just feel like CPS needs to take all the kids from her. She took the little girl out of school weeks ago and no one found this odd. She left her 15 year old and eight month old. The woman is not playing with a full deck. The 15 year old was asking the men to return her mom and sister safely. What the hell kind of mother are you that you worry your child like that? She took that little girl and didn't inform her dad. There is a special corner in hell for her. She will be sitting next to Su.san Sm.ith and the guy from Boston (I saw the Lif.etime movie).
So I found a dress that cost 80 dollars more than the one I picked out. It is a cute dress but of course I am pissed at the price. The only reason why I am ok with is that it is made out of a very similar material and I am going to laugh on the day of her wedding. I know that is evil but she brought it on herself. She approved the dress and it told what the material it was when I emailed it to her. Lesson learned--pick out your bridesmaids' dresses. But I already knew that so it was no lesson. To answer the question about why she didn't pick the dresses--she told us she wanted us to look glamourous and elegant in a dress that we felt we looked that way in. Uh, let's go with no! When I get married I want my bridal to look nice but we can go to the store and try on dresses and I will make the decision. The real problem is she doesn't want to come back to Georgia and do such things. Half of her party is in Georgia and the other half is in Maryland with her. She didn't want to come back to Georgia until the wedding actually--which I find to be stupid but that is just me. I will be all up and through my planning if I don't trust my planner but then again I am a control freak.
My dad held me hos.tage this past weekend. I did get to spend time with his girlfriend. She is a really cool person now that I am older. She bought me some jewelry as a late birthday present. She also bought me some jeans and shoes. I am supposed to go to a party with her thrown by her sorority.
I think I may have found a new hair stylist. I go to her on Tuesday--keep your fingers crossed for me!
I have been busy this week--I have had 2 closings and will have another one tomorrow. My dad finally gave me the car but I have to take it back to get it worked on some more. He pissed me off about the car though. He said he was giving it to me in its condition b/c my mom was pressuring him. Not the case at all. I didn't even comment b/c nothing nice was going to come out.
Thanks you guys for the words about my degree. I guess my frustration was that I went to law school to practice and never really thought about careers outside of practicing. I have tunnel vision like that. It is pretty bad. I am working on it though.
I haven't seen crush in weeks. I am going through withdrawal :-(
That is all,

Tell 'Em How You Feel Thursday
Hi all!
It has been one of those weeks--I have felt truly anti-social. I have talked to maybe three friends this week. I love those girls--they brighten up my day!
My new favorite blog is www.browngirlgumbo.com . Not just because I won a contest but because BGG shows all the cutest and latest in fashion and beauty care. Earlier this week I won a bottle of Bio-O.il. So excited!
I am going to cut Bride.zilla. After I find a dress that is not cheap I am throwing my hands up. All I have to say is if you get married please pick out your bridesmaids dresses (I know anyone else would do this but I just wanted to share that with the world).
One of my linesisters got engaged this week. The engagement story was pretty cute. Her mom said she was coming to visit in the middle of the week with her grandmother. She didn't really want to be bothered but she was like cool I guess I will go. Her mother then says she is running behind schedule and asked her to get a table at the restaurant. She gets to the restaurant and gets a table for three. She sits down and then three men come up to the table--the host, the busboy and her boo. Busboy removes the third place setting and the boo is seated. He gives her a piece of paper to read out loud. It is an email she sent to him about why she wanted to marry him b/c he had asked her that question two days before. She answered but he really wasn't satisfied with the answer. She decided she would email him. When she got to the end she realized that he was about to propose. He proposed and she said yes! Isn't that beautiful?
I am saying this now--if you don't want me to voice me opinion then don't speak about the issue in my presence or at least tell me you don't want my opinion. I am and always have been one to speak my mind. I don't think that is going to stop the older I get--more than likely it is going to get worse.
I have good news in the works and will share with you in a few days or weeks when I get the final say so.
Also I think I made a mistake when I went to law school. I am so not happy with the profession which is probably why I haven't been too pressed to find a permanent job. I should have let law school when I had the opportunity. I didn't want to be a quitter because that would have honestly been the first thing I ever quit. I think I want to go back to school so I am going to take the next six months to research the decision. If I decide that I want to go back to school I can apply in January and start in Fall 2010. I still want to practice law just so I will not have wasted my degree but my heart isn't in it.
I saw the ex boo this past weekend. I blame the crush for that one since he was out of town. It was interesting to say the least. Still no resolution but oh well.
I am in desperate need of a new salon. My hair was a bush for two weeks. I let my stylist do my hair this week b/c I needed a relaxer. So we had been discussing why my hair was frizzy. This nut told me that it was frizzy b/c I take showers and the steam does that. That may have been ok if I didn't keep my hair wrapped until after I put my clothes on. My friend who is a teacher had a better explanation. So sad.
I need a vacation! I want to go somewhere that I only know one or two people so I can spend quality time with one or two people and not feel guilty about not seeing other people. MJ can I come visit you? I also want to go visit Chicago. I think I will do that before the end of the year. One of my close friends wants to go so I figure we can make it a mini vacation.
I don't have anymore for you today
Smooches,
Coco

Tell 'Em How You Feel Thursday
I support you but I don't always agree with your decisions!
There are some really great guys out there--my problem is none of them live near me. My crush from college said the sweetest thing to me the other day. Like him so much.
I can't cuddle with crush this weekend which may lead me to call the ex--it has been so long. I am trying but I repeat it has been so long. I didn't even get to celebrate the swearing in of the POTUS among other things. Don't you think that is a good way to celebrate.
I was talking to one of my favorite internet friends (Hey Midori) and we were talking about people having unprotected s.ex. Can someone please explain that to me? We are both confused so I thought I would ask the general public. I mean do you know his every move? Why is he not your boyfriend (for me it needs to be husband)? I read an article earlier this week and this guy said he had an s.ti and he still didn't use protection most of the time. He said when he had outbreaks he would just wear his boxers and the women rarely questioned it. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot????????????????????? He said since his diagnosis he has been with at least 20 women and they just don't question it after a couple of months. I remember one time I didn't want to be intimate I told dude I didn't see him put on protection and he was like I did it in the bathroom. Then I just said I don't want to but at least he was using protection. Cover that thing up at all times of s.ex if you want to get with me.
Sorry but I had to say that b/c it weighs heavy on my heart. I saw the funniest thing yesterday that made me think of the subject. Using no con.dom is gross. my vag.ina has a dress code.
Forgot to tell you--I still have no car. I knew how it was going down so I am not surprised. He really just doesn't want to give me his car. He has been trying to convince my mother to find me a used car. My mom shut that down quickly. She informed him that she had already purchased me a car and was not purchasing another. I ain't mad at her. It just irks me that he has an extra car sitting around and doesn't want to give it to me. He is always talking about me working but when the people I work for call I have to turn them down b/c I have no car. I have had to turn down at least 3 jobs this week. I know I am not entitled to the car but when you make a promise keep it.
I am playing the waiting game--hopefully next week I will have good news to tell.
It is time for me to find a new stylist. My hair looks like a hot mess. I took pictures on Sunday with my mom and you cannot tell we got our hair done on Thursday.
When I told SunFresh that I needed a pep talk not to call the ex boo this is what she said: Don't do da d*ck! That was so hilarious. Love her!
There are some really great guys out there--my problem is none of them live near me. My crush from college said the sweetest thing to me the other day. Like him so much.
I can't cuddle with crush this weekend which may lead me to call the ex--it has been so long. I am trying but I repeat it has been so long. I didn't even get to celebrate the swearing in of the POTUS among other things. Don't you think that is a good way to celebrate.
I was talking to one of my favorite internet friends (Hey Midori) and we were talking about people having unprotected s.ex. Can someone please explain that to me? We are both confused so I thought I would ask the general public. I mean do you know his every move? Why is he not your boyfriend (for me it needs to be husband)? I read an article earlier this week and this guy said he had an s.ti and he still didn't use protection most of the time. He said when he had outbreaks he would just wear his boxers and the women rarely questioned it. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot????????????????????? He said since his diagnosis he has been with at least 20 women and they just don't question it after a couple of months. I remember one time I didn't want to be intimate I told dude I didn't see him put on protection and he was like I did it in the bathroom. Then I just said I don't want to but at least he was using protection. Cover that thing up at all times of s.ex if you want to get with me.

The Reception (From Hell)
So I knew I would have stories to tell and I do!
So I should have known it was going to be a mess. I called the bride to get directions and let's just say hers were terrible. I drove at least 15 miles out of the way. I called her and told her that I was going home because she gave awful directions. (Gas is not cheap and it was hot as hell on Saturday. I had been driving for over an hour for a 30 minute at the most trip.) She made it seem like I would see the place from the road--not at all! I had to turn off the road and drive about 1/2 a mile.
I reach the location and try to remove the look of shock from my face. The reception was at a meeting place that just happened to be a double wide trailer connected to a small building. Hot mess!
So everyone is sitting around doing nothing--she wanted us to be there 2 1/2 hours early so we could help set up and eat before the guests arrive. Well they set up before we got there. The caterer didn't get there until after we did and she left something at home so she didn't start setting up until about 4:30 or 5:00. The cocktail hour was supposed to start at 5:00.
This is where it gets really special. When I spoke to the bride on Thursday she informed that she didn't want to pay the caterer for wait staff so the hostesses would be serving. You know your girl was like whatever but in my head I made up my mind that I wasn't serving. So by the time 6:30 rolled around it was time to eat. Mind you the caterer was still setting up the food. I politely waited for all the other hostesses to position themselves so I could make sure I was just standing there looking cute and I did!
Eventually everyone got their food and then I could eat. I did end up pouring the punch which messed with my eating.
Later on I played bartender. That was fun but it didn't last long for me because it was so hot in there.
I saw so many different outfits. They ranged from cute to hot mess. The worst one was the girl who had to be about 200 pounds and had on a dress so short in the front that I could see her panties. Just hot mess!
Please if you want to have a reception please make sure you can afford everything that comes along with it. You know wait staff and photographer. Yeah I played amateur photographer too.
That is all I have for now!
Smooches,
Coco

Tell 'Em How You Feel Thursday
Children today are off the d*mn chain!
My mom told me about some kids at her school. A little girl performed or.al s.ex on a boy in the hallway at school. This happened last week and they just found out about it today. The school called the girl's mother. The mother said she was going to beat her so bad that she might not live to see school tomorrow. The school called D.FACS. Now I personally would have let that one slid. Had it been my mom she would have just come to the school and beat me in front of the administration. Then dared them to call the authorities. If the authorities showed up she would have told them to keep me b/c she had no use for me after that.
I was so stressed yesterday and Tuesday. Let's just say my family needs to get their money issues together and leave me out of it. I don't have money lying around and if I did I wouldn't be giving it to irresponsible people (my uncle).
Thinking of the crush brings a smile to my face.
My dad is supposed to be giving me his car tomorrow. Wish me luck.
I really have nothing just because I was so stressed this week.
Until the next time!

Something I Rarely Talk About in Detail
Int.imacy--I rarely talk about in detail and I don't think I will talk about it in detail today but I need to make some points.
I was talking to a friend yesterday and she told me her theory on women and no good men: Some di.ck is better than no di.ck. I had to seriously disagree with her. If that was the case I wouldn't be wandering through this period of cel.ibacy. Her response to that was you are cute and cute people don't settle. I wish I could go in detail about where the conversation started but that is her story to tell.
I still disagree with the theory b/c I know there are some people who are cute and still deal with no good men. It really stems from numerous things. I could name a few but the list is definitely not exhaustive.
1. Attachment/love
2. Some people think that inti.macy is the only way to show love
3. Insecurity
4. Settling
5. Some people enjoy the act that much
The point of this post is really to talk about how I had to evaluate myself and look at why I have dealt with craziness in the past. I had some insecurities that are still there but I refuse to let them keep me stuck in some bullisht. I thought I loved the individuals but it was definitely more of an attachment. Those are the two that I saw in my past. I enjoy the act but I realize that the stuff I dealt with was not worth the act. The sleepless nights and/or horrible dreams were enough for me to never deal with it again. There were other things but the sleepless nights/horrible dreams were on the top of the list. I finally got it. It took me awhile but I got it.
It seems like a light bulb went off in my head around my 28th birthday. It told me what I can and cannot accept. I am alone but I am happier alone than I ever was when there was a piece of a man in my life. I know now that when a man is in my life I need so much to happen before the act goes down. I need a connection outside of the act. I need to be able to delve into that connection multiple times before the act occurs. In the past I thought I had done these things but I was wrong. I learned a lesson which is why I am grateful for the individuals that I have dealt with.
Don't get me wrong I miss the last but he can't put forth the effort to be the man that I need, want or deserve. I wish women would learn to be by themselves and love themselves. It would do us all a world of good. I wish that we would hold men to higher standards. When we learn to put our happiness first the men that want to be in our lives would not be afraid of questions and concerns that we have.
Can I just say that as much as I hated the idea of the Ste.ve Harv.ey book I am now half of a fan. I am half of a fan b/c I skimmed a copy of the book. Right after I skimmed a copy of the book my friend went through something. A guy told her something that she already knew and I said as much. She then told me it is different when it comes from a guy. I figure Ste.ve is a guy and maybe someone will get it if it comes from him.
