This is the last day of freedom that I have. Tomorrow is out to school. I was going to do some prep work tonight but I left the info in school.

This was a great vacation. I did rest and relax. Now I am ready for the term.

Wish me luck.

Bleh.....

I'm just real tired of the shit, the hounding down.

Why cant you just leave me alone and just realise that you're NOT here?

You are in another country. Run somebody else's life, not mine. Mine is great.

FUCK!

ER has got to be one of the baddest TV dramas of all time.

The sounds of the marching bands woke me up this morning, so I got up in time to see am episode on TNT.
This was the episode where Mark Greene died. It was such a well done episode that I cried. When Elizabeth went in the room to check on Mark and she realised he was dead....I just reached over and hugged my boyfriend so hard........

I cant wait for the new season.

I am a regular watcher of Gayelle: The Channel and I was pleased to see that Wendell Manwarren was a guest host for the morning programme, "Cock-a-doodle-doo."

He just oozed sexiness. He was cool, articulate, well-informed..geezanages..yummy! I wish they would have him back.

I would like to say W00t to Richjob for recently receiving some joy in his life. I hope you are making the best of the time that you have.

I can only admire what you are doing where that is concerned.
I dont have the strength to do it.

Today is the last last last day of my vacation. Tomorrow doesnt count as I will be spending time packing my bag, ironing my clothes, setting my hair, etc.

Today did not go the way I wanted it to, but I guess all things work out for the best.

Manning went to town when he went Cuba.

He had a pacemake put in as well as had Lasik surgery on his eyes. I wonder if that is where my taxpayer's dollars are going.

I pay taxes every month, but because I teach in a private school, I cannot access the DipEd course that is offered at UWI. I actually want to stay in education! Steups. This puts a serious kink in my plans.

:(

FUCK GOVERNMENT!

Did anyone else feel an earthquake at 9:35pm last night?

I hope I wasnt the only one.

Last night I turned on my fan, and it started to spark and smoke came out from the back of it.

It was a tough night last night without a fan. I had to sleep with the windows open which isnt a safe thing around here. However I made it through the night and managed to make it through the day.

Just now I heard the gate open and I saw my boyfriend bearing a gift: A NEW FAN!!

I was so blown away ( no pun intended!) by his thoughtfulness and kindness. Plus I feel cool again.
YAY!

MANTALK

It was really interesting. It starts off with the actors making various statements that define men: their overwhelming desire to please their women sexually as well to defend them, etc.
Then they went on to talk about their fathers. Of course, they had nothing to good to say about them. There was a piece on a rapist, a child molester, boys liming on the block that reminded me of students at my school and much more.

What struck me about this theatrical piece is that all the bad things about men were highlighted. I would have wanted to hear from a man who loved his family, his wife. A man secure in his manhood and is not afraid to be expressive. To me that is what I felt was lacking. I am comparing this to Vagina Monologues, but then, that's not a fair comparison.

But all in all, it was good.

well....it's only 10 to 11 and already I am fed up.

I wanted to start off my first week at school right, so I decided to go to church.
I was hoping for a short service, but today was baptism. There were seven babies to be baptized. I sure that those people arent going to be coming back to church after today. I have seen it happen before: use the Anglican Church conveniently to babptise or confirm your child, then leave and go to the Pentecostal church.

Well for the first time in my life, I think I saw what Spoonie Luv described as a 'boodonckadonck' butt. This woman's derriere looked like a Dame Lorraine's butt, without the padding. Everyone kept looking at her and chuckled. I admit, I giggled a lil bit.

So, after church, I had to go to the grocery. Stopped by the ATM..no cash. Luckily I had some money on me, so I went to the grocery. It was packed, hard to manoeuvre. I got in a line to cash then some lady to TRY to overtake me. I told her that the line was behind me. she will look to tell me that she only has two items anyway. Well, luckily behind me, were some rougher looking ladies, and they started opening up their mouths, so she skipped someone in another line.

So right now the meat is soaking up the seasoning and will be ready to be cooked in a while.

I love the relationship I have with my boyfriend. It's nurturing, it's exciting, it builds up my confidence, 'and all these good things', as a coworker of mine is always heard saying.

But at times, it's tough...like today. Today I felt frustrated, through no fault of his. But I just was. And he did everything in his power to make me feel better. But it just wasnt working.

We eventually worked through everything, with me loving him more than before. I didnt know love could grow like that.

MANtalk was..interesting.

It was graphic, it was thought-provoking.


More later.

Yesterday was a tough day I had to spend almost all day with my form class.I was tired.
But then my sister had an appointment for a facial. We arrived on time, but they were backed up, so instead of leaving an hour after, we left TWO hours after. And that time, my niece was only bawling for her mother.
We left the mall and I thought I would have had enough time to get home, eat and get ready to go to MANtalk. But there was traffic on the highway. So I got home really late. Bit I got ready in 17 minutes. Got to POS to see it in a huge mess.

But I got to Queen's Hall just in time.

Today I met my form class. They were a lil quiet at first, but then we had question and answer time and that was when they became animated.

We decided that we are going to have a class pet, a fish...we'll see how that goes.

All these hugs are for you, baby. Just know that I am here for you.

While the incident with the 11 y.o. and the 24 y.o. is a very sad one, I wasnt shocked.

The way things are these days....should things like this surprise me?

Today was a very productive day. We had a fast meeting with the Senior teacher. He doesnt mince matters; he gets down to business.

Then we went for a loooong lunch. Some of us went to Brazil to look at newly constructed houses. Not bad at all, but I found the spaces to be somewhat small. The house has four bedrooms, three bathrooms. The bathrooms were lovely and I liked the master bedroom, but I found the living room was too small.

The more I think about, I want to build my own home. The houses that are being built these days...the worksmanship isnt good. And they dont have the things that I want in a home.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that when my time comes to buy a home, I can get what I want.

I'm sorry I made you worry.

I went to work today late. I really wasnt in the mood.
Bleh...

The highlight of my day was my niece coming by. She got a new bike, so we were pushing her around and she was just laughing at the top of her lungs.
She loves to take pictures yes. As soon as she sees the camera, she gives the brightest smile. Her granny will be pleased.

She was eating biscuits that I gave her and she put her head on my shoulder.

*aawww* too sweet!ACS

Today I went back to school. I must say it was really nice seeing everyone, hearing all the stories, ketching kicks as usual. We got some new people. Hope they work out well.

I would like to congratulate my favourite student, Isaiah, for giving me my first Grade II. He worked hard, he did all his assignments and he reaped the reward. The rest of grades were IVs and Vs, but considering I didnt get any passes last year, I feel good.
Isaiah wants to be a doctor, so I wish him all the best. Who knows? I might meet him up one day, just like in that ER episode where Peter Benton saved his science teacher's life. This was the teacher who gave him the inspiration to become a doctor in the first place.

I could honestly say I love teaching. I might not reap it in a huge salary or many perks (although two months paid vacation is NOT a bad thing), but knowing you helped a child learn is a good feeling.

I have past students. Students who come back to look for ME!!! I LOVE that!!!

Just now we went for a drive around the Savannah. It was such a beautiful site: Couples walking hand in hand, parents teaching their kids to ride bikes or pushing their baby in a stroller, families just spending time with each other; not to mention pholourie and corn soup. YUM!

We saw men spending time with their sons. One father had his hand around his son's shoulder walking proudly with him; another bought his son boil corn. I was pleased to see that.

We saw boys riding bikes and boys doing tricks on their skateboards.

This, to me, is part of living in Trinidad. While food prices might be high, and there is a threat of a state of emergency, we were able to find people just enjoying each other.

This is my last leisure free weekend. After that, I will have lots of work to do.

This weekend is going well thus far. Thanks to Dr. Kayode for taking care of me when I wasnt feeling so well. It's amazing... a nice rub back works wonders...as well as a nice bath too.

Those workmen need to hurry up. They show up at very inopportune times.
:s

My sister and I are doing the bonding thing these days. We're going for an afternoon of beauty next week. I bought her a gift certificate for a facial and she's FINALLY going to put it in use.
The next thing we have planned is a seminar for women at a date to be announced.

I love my sister. She's my BIG sister. I look up to her even now. She's 30, and has her own family, and she can be moody when she's ready, but she's cool.
I remember what she was like when she was younger. I never thought she would have turned out the way she did. She has a supportive husband, a beautiful and intelligent daughter and on her way to getting the house with the white picket fence.

I'm proud of her.

(She'll never see this post because if she ever read this blog, I think she might beat me.)

BOYCOTT RICE!

Errol Fabien has announced a boycott of rice during the first week in September. Rice has gone up by 25%. While this might not translate into much money for some, it's still an unjustified increase.

Comsumers have power. We need to stand up to these people, otherwise things will skyrocket through the roof. I know about inflation, but these small but regular increases cutting my ass!!!

An 8-year-old girl who suffers from a rare digestive disorder and cannot eat wheat has had her first Holy Communion declared invalid because the wafer contained no wheat, violating Roman Catholic doctrine.

Church doctrine holds that Communion wafers, like the bread served at the Last Supper, must have at least some unleavened wheat. Church leaders are reluctant to change anything about the sacrament.

The diocese has told Haley’s mother that the girl can receive a low-gluten wafer, or just drink wine at Communion, but that anything without gluten does not qualify. Pelly-Waldman rejected the offer, saying her child could be harmed by even a small amount of the substance.



After the church’s pastor refused to allow a substitute, a priest at a nearby parish volunteered to offer one, and in May, Haley wore a white Communion dress, and received the sacrament alongside her mother, who had not taken Communion since she herself was diagnosed with the disease.


Good grief man!!! The content of a wafer????

We are all children of God..yeah right!!!

Well, I was taught a lesson this morning. I realise that I am not a morning person. People does want to call me 7,8 o' clock on a Saturday morning...eh??? Who gets up THAT early?

So my friend called me this morning to arrange our meeting time. After that call, I well say I going to take a lil more sleep again. Just so I hear VOOM! and the electricity went. Well I was on shit street for a while because I had not ironed as yet! If yuh see scramble for clothes to wear eh!
I pull out a top I swore I would never wear. Lo and behold, people tell meh they like it yes!

hee hee

But not matter how lazy I feel, I will iron at night. I dont think I will be that lucky twice

Congrats to George Bovell!
I was really glad to hear that he won a medal.

I remember when I ran the teacher's race, it was exhilarating because I was hearing students screaming my name, encouraging me and I wanted to do well. In the end, I came third, but I didnt get any medal though. :(

Today was my last day at Crowne Plaza. At least the food was better today. I loved what I did. I got a taste of the type of job that I fantasized about when I was in UWI.

Those interpreters getting 400US$ a day yes. But that is a stressful job.
ok ok..the latino men are nice! sexy too bad. If that were my cup of tea, I would have been in my glee yes.

But...nah! I have a nice darkie at home ;)

I would like to big up Cary on finally reaching to Miami. I wish her all the best in her studies and everything else.
YAY CARY!!! :D

Is it wrong to ask for a commitment from a man?
If you are with him for a period of time, say five years, is it ok to sit him down and say, "I'll like to know where this is going," or start talking about marriage?
And if the man isnt ready to give that commitment after 5 years, should you wait until he is ready or say F*#% you! and move on?

I love being a woman. I love my physical attributes: my"child bearing hips" as someone likes to describe them, my hair, my small hands, my slender frame.
I love having the priviledge of bearing a child.

I am woman, hear me ROAR.
lol

We were talking about Joel/Joelle, the transexual from South. I said I couldnt call Joel/le a woman even though an operation took place. Just because he took some hormones and snipped this and tucked that, he's a woman now??

Let him get some period cramps nah! Let him give birth to a child nah. Steups.
I will never call him 'her' or 'she'.
He was born a male and NO operation can change THAT fact.

My day wasnt so bad yesterday at Crowne Plaza. I had more stuff to do than on Tuesday. I made use of my Spanish speaking skills. I love the fact I can understand someone in another language. I would recommend to anyone to learn a language, especially Spanish, for practical reasons as well as it's easier.

My job at Crowne Plaza started today.

This morning I was just told to do a translation. While I am fully capable of doing it, I didnt have the tools, like a dictionary and time. Nobody bothered to help us, we just had to do it. If that is how things are done in offices and ting, gimme my classroom any day where I have full autonomy.
The head lady in charge was ordering people around and there was a lot of muttering and threats to walk out. Bacchanal now start!

But the greatest was this girl. Apparently she and her metro friend feel they know all the words in Spanish andthey went around criticising other people's translations. This is a conference. The key word is professional. She walks around the place with her cell phone in her hand and her shades upon her head. When told about it by one of the persons in charge, she gave the woman attitude yes.She subsequently got fired and metro boy get fired for putting in his mouth. But amazingly, they opened up they mouth and they got rehired yes.

Our duties as liasion officers were not clear so we had nothing to do really. And it looked bad. Also I expected that we would have been able to go to the sessions since the conference was about education and there were a lot of teachers in the group, plus we wanted to hear the language as well for practice. But that didnt happen. STEUPS.

Then there were the teenyboppers. GEEZAN I hope I wasnt so when I was that age.

The food SUCKED! Bread and cheese????? You giving people from foreign countries Government cheese and bread??? STEUPS!! Shame on Crowne Plaza!!!

The best part is I earn some money and lime with my friend from UWI.

no, no...the BEST part was receiving those wonderful texts from my boyfriend. They really brought a smile to my face.
Thanks baby!

*MUAH*

DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU-The Golden Rule

Some people should try to follow this rule a lil more often.

bitches....

So the storm has passed. I'm glad.

Anyway, yesterday we were watching a countdown of some very amazing moments in the animal kingdom. There was a scary moment with a baboon among a flock of flamingoes. The showed a shot of the baboon just reaching out and grabbing a poor flamingo by the neck and chomping down on it. Gruesome.

Then there was a moment with a frog who decided to eat a newt. What he didnt know was that the newt has a poison that is released when in trouble( I guess there was nobody to tell him eh). This poison killed the frog, and the newt was able to walk right out of his enemy's mouth.

That was an amazing thing, I found. You think you are down and out, but with a lil time and strength, you will overcome your troubles.

woman is like big investors.....send up de value of de land

hahahahahaha I love this!!!!

ok ok...I take it back.

Dat Phan make me laff so scandalous eh.

LOL

I'm adding another place to our list of places to eat.

Opposite Licensing Office there is a place that sells Barbeque. You can get a decent meal for 20$.
The green salad has pineapple in it..nice touch! The pieces of chicken are cut up for you, instead of giving you this big slab of chicken, and it's not slathered in BBQ sauce. You get a decent portion of fries which makes for a very filling meal..

This place gets a thumbs up! Check it out.

So I just finished watching LXG.
That movie kicks ASS!!

Captain Nemo just win! Sean Connery still sexy. Peta Wilson is one bad mama!

This is going on my list of favourite movies.

My comic didnt win. :(

I voted for Alonzo Bodden. But one thing I realise in these reality shows, coming in second isnt that bad.

Look at the winner from last year's Last Comic Standing, Dat Phan. Where is he now?
However the second place winner, Ralphie Mays, is all over the place. Plus he lost some weight. Nice.

ok..I'm bored.

Now what?

11 months..YAY!

This is the longest and most fulfilling relationship that I have ever had. I have grown so much. I see things so differently now, it's amazing. I dont think for one anymore, but for two. And I dont think only for today, I think about the future.

It has its ups and downs , but we always come out stronger.
Life is good.

BITCH- Babe In Total Control of Herself.

There is a group of women on this planet who willingly call themselves bitches. Last time I checked a bitch is a female dog. Who would want to be known as that, huh? But the above acronym makes it cool to be a bitch.

These women do nothing more than bring shame to females everywhere, imo. They think they can act any way they want, say what they want to and not think about the other person.
But what goes around comes the fuck right back around.

I went to the meeting today to find out about the conference next week. Sounds like a lot of work. The day starts at 8:30 and ends at 5:30 maybe 6:00. Plus we eh getting no hotel food.

But I think in the long run it would pay off. Networking is always good.

The post below is my 500th post.

YAY!

I am a consistent blogger if I do say so myself.

hee hee.

Well I have been vindicated.

I am not a big fan of HCL.

While they might be doing a service of providing the nation with housing, those houses are not affordable and they are of poor quality.

There was an article in the Guardian about a lady with multiple sclerosis who recently bought an HCL house. The home is cracking already and they have had to do numerous repairs. They offered to give her a home in Eldorado, but if she accepts that home and there are any repairs to be done, they are not going to be responsible for them.

STINK eh?????

I dunno nah. When I ready to buy my home, what is my predicament??

What's the point of confiding, or sharing, if I get a response like that? A lil understanding, a lil compassion would have been nice.

*sigh*

There is a saying that goes: You better stand for something or else you will fall for anything.

And I got to thinking: what do I really stand for? There are so many issues around and I am just on the fence.

How do I get involved? How do I take a stand? Join an NGO?


What to do?

:s

Last night I was offered an amazing opportunity. I was kinda bummed this vacation because the other two Spanish teachers went to Spanish speaking countries and I didnt.

:(
A trip like this is necessary to keep up with the language, as you get rusty as time goes by. And boy am I rusty.

But next week, I will have the opportunity to refresh my Spanish as well as get a lil cash for it. All provided by the Ministry of Education.

Nice.

wow...that rain was something this morning yes.


I love having an older sister. And my sis is cool. From ever since I was young I idolised this girl, although she played some very very mean tricks on me. But it's always good to bounce things off of her because she's been through it already and she is able to give me some good advice.


A student of mine was on Gayelle this morning, the talent show called Kuchela. When asked what his school was, he said Trinity College and the hosts thought it was that school up in the bush. The boy didnt correct them. Steups. I was disappointed.

I sleeping, you on the computer.

I on the computer, you sleeping.

WTF??

Today's my father's birthday. I always remember but I dont do anything about it.

A phone call might be just the thing he needs to pick up his spirits. He seems to be kinda sick, but then, what you sow you reap yes. If he had been a nice person to all of us, maybe he would still have his family now. He could have been in his house with all his children around celebrating another year of life.

Kharma is a bitch I always say.

Remember I said that. He is living proof. I complain about my mother eh, but she has more balls than he does.

I'm not bitter yuh know. Just...bleh. I wish my mother had left him earlier to avoid some of the shit we endured. But I guess things happen for a reason and those things were meant to give me strength.


Talking about Mommy..I keep dreaming she's back, and I only quarelling with her.

:s

That's not good since we get on well these days.

Rich..Birthday present has been installed and working beautifully.


;)

YAY! I finally had corn soup last night. It was great.

And you know who knew where to get corn soup ALL THE TIME?

my bf....at least he carried me for it last night. So NOW I know where to get some.

I ate a chicken burger last night that had watercress. Who does eat dat??

The chicken was salty, he put two lil piece of cucumber and real cabbage. Not the best burger I've eaten. So I'm not adding the Pink Palace to my list of fav places to eat.

AKILAH: intelligent one who reasons

ANAYA: Ibo of Eastern Nigeria name meaning "look up to God." (what's interesting about this name is that it's AYANA backwards)

AYANA: Ethiopian female name meaning "beautiful flower."

MARIAMA: Popular W. African name meaning "gift of God."

ZAHRA, ZAHARA: Swahili and Muslim name meaning "flower."

ZALIKA: Swahili name meaning "well-born."

Ainka (A-ink-kay)
The cherished one (Tonga)

JAMILA
Beautiful, Elegant (Somalia, Swahili)

Can ANYBODY recommend a place where I can get a GOOD corn soup???

PLEASE???

As a teacher, I have been called upon many a time to deal with a situation between two or more people. Some boys are good liars, boy are they good. And I would admit I have been duped a good few times well. But then I started to watch Judge Judy and she showed me the way to conduct a good cross examination.

She would ask the plaintiff to start first and she asks questions in a methodical order to establish a time lime of events. In that way, you can find little holes in their story. And you do eh.

Plus I give them a stare. If they cant look at me, I would pressure them more.

Gosh, when they start to stutter, that is the best part.

Then boys say I make them out, like how Judge Judy pulls up people for the shit they do.
Heh...that keeps them in line.

She is really very fair as well. Plus she doesnt want to hear all the sordid details, unlike Judge Mathis and the judge on People's Court. She just wants to hear the stuff that pertains to the case.

This September (if the Lord spares my life) will be my fourth year of teaching. I am glad I am not bitter. I'm glad I still love this job.

And I would be very pleased if my bf is a teacher too. When it gets out that he plays video games, he'll be a hit. And he explains things so clearly too.
I know he'll be a good teacher. However I know writing is his first love, so whatever he does is fine with me.

:D

Mary-Kay Letourneau is being released pretty soon and Vili wants to see her.
WOW!

But he is 21 now, an adult.

I still cant understand what a 32 year old woman saw in a 12 year old. They should have locked her up longer. 7 years wasnt enough I think.

I fail at something and I dont want to try again. Something seems unattainable, I say well hard luck for me.

Look at me failing my driver's test. I failed since 2002. Only this year I went back. And the fear of failing again is holding me back from going driving lessons!!!

Today I found out that I need First Class or Upper Second Honours to do the Master's Programme that will be PERFECT for me. I have a Lower seconds. In my mind, I'm out of the running. Have I applied yet? NO. But I consider myself defeated.


bleh.....

The issue of homosexuality is one that has bugged me for a while.

Shows like L word and Queer as Folk dont help the cause of homosexuals, imho, but the guys from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy are so CUTE...anyway, I digress.

I was watching an episode of ER, one of THE baddest dramas on Tv ever.

A lesbian couple came in for medical attention. One lady had a stroke and it was so bad that she would have to be attached to a ventilator.
The lady's partner knows that she would not want to be hooked up to machines, but would prefer to die peacefully. But since the law does not recognise their relationship, the doctor therefore had to contact a next of kin to see if he would give a Do Not Resuscitate order or hook her up to the machine.

The brother gave permission for the machine.

These ladies were together for 27 years. Doesnt that count for something???

The healthy partner was aware of her wishes, but the law doesnt acknowledge that.

It's upsetting. It really is.

I'm really disgusted with some of the parties advertised on TS.

There is one right now entitled "Till Drunk do us part". What shit!!
And someone who doesnt hail me out on MSN or even send me a forward sending me an email to participate in some promotion.

I dont drink alcohol and I dont think I ever will. When I go to a party, my friends know to get me an orange juice. I dont see the allure in getting drunk or even tipsy. I like being lucid all the time, thank you very much.

The worst is going to a party and seeing girls throwing up on themselves. I laugh at them yes. YES I DO! If you dont want a functioning liver, that's your business.

Alcohol messed up my family and I am not giving into it at all.


Dont EVEN get me started on the horning party.

This morning I had a recurring dream.

I dreamt I was FINALLY going for my driver's licence but I couldnt find a car to do the test.
I get up fairly regularly at night, and everytime I went to bed, I had that same problem, but at different times.

Also people were getting their licences before me.

That is happening in real life. Last term a student showed me his licence.

steups

At least the dreams changing. In the past,whenever I have a dream about driving, usually it involved me taking over the wheel after the driver has passed out or something.

So I guess this is a sign to really get serious about driving.

I had some sort of attack when I was eight where I was hospitalised for a few days. There, I learnt I am to stay away from carpets, animal fur and dust.

So my place does not have carpet and I stay away from animals as much as possible. Dust...I cant avoid.

So when Kayode's dog came near me last night, I wasnt too interested. But she sat right next to my feet, so I just stroked her fur with my feet. It felt really nice actually.


Then..to me, the most amazing thing happened.

She looked me straight in the eyes and she put her paw on my feet. That simple act touched me in such a profound way.

I thought back to all the times that I was mean when really I didnt have any reason to be. I was angry and bitter and moody.

Then I thought back to the times that I was nice, and the reactions that I got, and it was much more fulfilling.

I was nice to my cousin, he didnt call me names anymore.
I was nice to my brother, things arent tense anymore.
And when you are nice to students, they are always more willing to help and are more respectful.

Now being nice is something I know about and have known for years. Why wasnt I all the time?

Thanks Resty!
:D

Doom 3...I have my eyes on you eh!

Today was a nice day.

My bf and I were supposed to go to the Village. Just didnt go. I was a lil upset about that and I guess it affected my mood more that I thought it did.


Some people have some horror stories about their bf's mother. I dont nah. She is a very nice person, very welcoming.

She showed me a 'thing' on her tv. I call it a thing because I dont know what it is really. She told me that Kayode brought it home very excitedly from a primary school bazaar, about FOURTEEN years ago! And she still had it...that is a mother's love. Awwww

We had a nice lil girls lime by the kitchen,his mom, his sis and I talking over hot bake and cheese with a cold glass of Apple J. There is where I find out all the lil tidbits about Kayode. You know how mummies like to talk about their big sons. hee hee.

It made me miss my lil family. I miss when Mommy used to come home from work and we would all go into her room and talk for a lil while. She would always have some story to tell. And the bake was almost like my mommy's own.

*sniff*

I was watching The Anna Nicole Smith Show last night. And for some strange reason, I thought that when she lost the weight, she would have gotten some brains too. Boy was I wrong.

Her whole staff are a bunch of sycophants. I saw her lawyer suck her toe. Her assistan agrees with everything she says, and her male stylist was caught on camera trying on her clothes.

I'm not a mother...yet... but I saw her do something on her show last night..I dont know whether it was good or not.

She was drinking a lot and she encouraged her son to drink with her. It was his first time. She said that she wanted his first drink to be with her and that, to her, it was a bonding experience.

Now while it is good that she was supervising his drinking, I dont think it was a good thing both mother and son were drunk.

Bleh..what do I know?
