Birthday Dress

14 Jun

A couple of weeks ago I had the following conversation with my mom:

Mom: So, are you going to write anything special on your blog for June 14?

Me: Um, dunno. What day is it on?

Mom: It’s a Sunday.

Me: Nah. I usually don’t write on Saturday and Sunday.

Mom: (sigh, grumble, hiss) Oh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

As a mom, I am slowly mastering the skill that many moms eventually perfect: the art of passive aggressiveness.

(I sure wish I had a nice pretty dress and fancy new shoes to wear in honor of your birthday)

I love the “subtle” hint of dress and shoes. You’re getting the passive aggressive pretty good.

I had the most wonderful birthday today. Thanks for everything including a nice write up with the most adorable picture of my little angel in the brand new blue/white dress. Hm, most mothers I know are charmingly aggressive and delightfully assertive. Passive-aggressive? I only saw this in my former working environment.

Losing The Baby Weight

I get a lot of emails from moms who are worried about their baby weight after giving birth. I understand where they’re coming from. As women we wanna look and feel good, especially after having a baby. I get big when I’m pregnant. I mean REALLY BIG. I’m not one of those women who look [...]
Baby Must Haves

I remember being pregnant with Mo and buying EVERY SINGLE baby gimmick and gadget on the market. Really? Did I need a singing diaper bag or swarvoski crystal paci holder? SMH. After having Bronson, I realized there are only a few essentials new moms need. They are cool inventions, yet very basic and reasonably priced [...]
Come On Down!!!!!! TPIR models.

I remember when I was a little girl, I used to watch The Price Is Right and idolize the beautiful Barker’s Beauties. My favorite was HOLLY (Hallstrom). She was so funny and somewhat accident prone like myself. Then in 1990, Kathleen Bradley became the 1st permanent African-American model on the show. I was very excited [...]
What Color Am I?

The main reason I chose to raise my sons in California is because of the beach diversity. Growing up multiracial in the South taught me a lot, but umm…..I didn’t want my boys to grow up thinking the term “good hair” was a common word in Webster’s Dictionary. Mo and B both have their own [...]

Life After Divorce

I normally don’t talk about my personal life (or lack of…) but I get so many questions about how to move on after a divorce. There are a ton of books, specialists, and websites that tackle this, I didn’t use any. I can only say what worked for me. My marriage was doomed from the [...]

Bowing Down to Judy Robles

2011 NCAA Championship

Being at the 2011 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship game was like a dream for me. I got to see the beautiful city of Houston for the 1st time and I ♥looooove♥ March Madness. UConn defeated Butler 53-41. The game was a little lackluster. This comes from someone who grew up watching run and gun offenses of [...]

Spring is here!!! That means time to throw out the thick heavy mommy sweats and hoodies and break out the not so thick heavy mommy sweats and tanks. Which really means, better put away some of the junk food and hit the gym! I’m not a gym rat, I do the basics to get by. [...]
