Friday Ramblings

It's Friday, so you know the deal...

• I am currently on a 90's R&B binge of music.
• So upset that my program canceled Monday's class and pushed it back to next week.  I'm ready to be DONE with this thing.
• In other news it's time for me to look into graduate programs.  I've gotta move up in this world.
• Basketball Wives recap:
• Ummm why is Jackie comparing this cognac that British is drinking to Lorenzo's watermelon?
• British looked cute in her all white I must say.  I'm still lost as to why she's wearing this pink bra with her white shirt in these confessionals though.
• I know Sundy [sic] ain't telling nobody to "humble" themselves in Paris, knowing good and well she can't afford to go there without the helps of Basketball Wives.
• So now we make jokes about people's cancer preventing them from having kids?  #WhereTheyDoThatAt
• Is it May 23rd yet?
• Kenya talking about she could have laid Porscha out in three moves because she's learned the same self-defense tactics as the Israeli military.  Girl go on somewhere with that!  Your butt got laid out by the person you least expected it from.  Plus all this crap about having to worry about being a role model to young girls.  She doesn't worry about that any other time.
• Why does Nikko from Love & Hip Hop:  Atlanta look like the sloth from Ice Age?!
• The new Hit The Floor trailer is telling me that I need to hit some flexibility classes.
• I made goodie bags for my 8th grade math students.  As soon as I tied the first bag I was overcome with fatigue and regret...even though it was only 20 bags. #DontJudgeMe
• I'm having one of those moments were I feel like my life is not on course but I'm gonna fight the feeling off before it takes over.
• Watching The Little Couple makes me want an Indian baby.  This little girl is just too adorable with her bowl haircut.  
• Why must graduate school cost so much?!
• This Waffle House breakfast was amazing this week.  #CollegeGotMeAddicted
• I hate packing but being able to see my boo Andre 3000 will make it worth it.
• Wife Swap is always such an interesting show.  I always enjoy seeing the super strict mom and the I-Let-My-Kids-Do-What-They-Want mom switch houses.  It's pure comedy.

Friday Ramblings

It's Friday, so you know the deal...

• Well the demand for shower rods is about to shoot up after that whole Mimi and Nikko think.  Surfboard is officially retired.  #ShowerRodt
• So close to being done with this program.  Lord Jesus let me make it!
• Taxes done!  We'll be popping bottles of Evian at the club pretty soon!
• Basketball Wives Recap
• So VH1 can show outlines of male body parts now?
• Sundy [sic] cannot draw.  I thought I was about to see some decent drawing from her when she said she was an amateur artist and loved to sketch.  Some things are better left unsaid.  
• Jackie has all these "friendships" with women I'm pretty sure she just met.
• Kool-Aid man used to wear shorts and a Hawaiian looking shirt when I was a kid.  Now they're just letting the man walk around naked.  What has the world come to?!
• I enjoy watching TI with his family on his show.  He seems like a really good dad.
• Saw some lilies recently.  Ummm...can we say beautiful?!
• Jhene Aiko's new video is EVERYTHING!  That car keying scene was giving me so much life.  Like it took me back to last year when I just envisioned myself keying this man's car.  Good thing I came to my senses.
• The Purple Diamonds who were featured on Bring It are ratchet with all that tooting their butts up after winning the competition.  They're ratchet just like the Ques I've been exposed to.  I guess that's why they share the same colors.
• The first day of testing involved me testing...ALL day.  I was ready to fall asleep on the kids in the afternoon.
• I went to look for some Sara Lee chocolate chip brownies that my coworker has.  She said she got them at Walmart and I specifically told her the ghetto Walmart wouldn't have them.  She didn't believe me but my prediction was right.  Now I have to find these brownies.
• Oh yeah...LENT IS OVER SUNDAY!  Back to the red meat, soda, and desserts.  I did mess up like two days though.
• Firecracker Chicken Wraps at Longhorn's are delicious! 
• I'm trying to understand why folks are so upset about Diddy being the speaker at Howard's graduation.  Yeah the man didn't graduate but the reason he left was because he was offered the chance to start working in the field that he wanted.  Steve Jobs went to college for six months, less than Diddy I believe, and y'all weren't this upset.  Oprah dropped out of college too but nobody was complaining about that either.  The man is successful and let's be honest, most of those college graduates aren't going to be multimillionaires like him.  So all those people saying, "I want someone whose earned their to degree to come show me that this is what you can do when you earn your degree" need to take SEVERAL seats.
• That was long.
• Jay-Z and Beyonce may be going on tour together.  Where can I buy my ticket at?  
• I still have a hard time believing people when they say I'm skinny.  #StruggleWithBodyIssuesEst2002
• Finally finished the second season of American Horror Story:  Asylum.  The ending, Lord Jesus I just don't know what to believe anymore.
• I really like this Bando Jonez song Sex You but I have a feeling he's probably super short and ugly.
• Ordered a white dress from Express.  Hoping this one looks less hoochie-fied than the one from last year that I never got to wear that is tight and short.
• UGA better calm down with all these yearly "annual" alumni phone calls.  "Annual" means once.  Therefore calling me three months later makes it a "bi-annual."  You'd think all that money we spend to get an education there people would learn some definitions.

It's Friday, so you know the deal...

• I went to Athens Saturday and it's nice to see that nothing has changed.  White folks still running around the city in their cute workout gear.
• Basketball Wives Recap:
• I'm lost as to how Jackie's daughter can say these other girls are "burning" her mom but the reality is her mom is the one stabbing folks in the back.
• Jackie and these cognac names.
• I'm still at a lost as to what type of voodoo Jackie Christie has on this husband of hers.
• Why are they at a bookstore to get this news about Paris?  Like you couldn't call them up to dinner or coffee for that?
• I see you Draya in the all red!  Tryna look like Jasmine from the movie Aladdin when Jafar took control of Genie.  
• Of course Draya is gonna pick her man's side over Jackie and her daughter's.  I mean, it's no different if someone came to Jackie about Doug trying to get with them.
• What the point of Sunday coming to this place?  
• None of these women on this show are classy.  I wish these hags would stop saying that they are.
• I can't stand hearing TI talk in his "intellectual" voice a.k.a. while I was in prison I read the dictionary every now and then.
• Is it bad that when I was at Walmart and saw these three bad kids my first thought was, "Watch they end up at my school."
• Cadbury has been using the same commercial since I was a kid.  I know for a fact they save a ton of money on advertisement.    
• Summer's almost here.  I'm ready to start swinging my long braids.  
• One day I'll be rich enough to have a summer house somewhere that's not in my city.  #DontHaveToWorryAboutSeeingAnyKids
• A friend of mine told me that I'm "hard to please" and I just couldn't accept that.  Therefore, being the person I am I reached out to two people who would know.  Neither said I was hard to please.  Argument settled.
• I seriously need Dianne from Bring It to do something about that overbite.     
• Finally got around to watching Wolf Of Wall Street and Mister & Pete.  Both were pretty good.  Wolf Of Wall Street was extremely long, but man it was crazy.  Jennifer Hudson looked a mess in Mister & Pete and the little Asian boy knows he wanted his privacy.
• Doc McStuffins mom is kind of hippy.  Glad they gave her a black woman's body.
• Went in to get my oil and tires rotated.  Found out I needed to get my wheel bearing fixed at the cost of $203.  Lucky for me my Dad is semi-mechanic.  The Benz is riding real nice right now.  
• My ticket/wristband for the Counterpoint Festival finally came in!!!!  I'm so close to seeing Rich Homie Quan, Janelle Monae, J. Cole, Major Lazer, and Outkast in one weekend!
• I need to get some cute clothes for this festival now that I think about it.
• Looking to get some tickets to see The Braves play this summer.  So many options.
• It seems I was selected by one of my programs to represent my cohort by them having someone come in and observe my classroom.  Luckily they canceled that the same day the e-mail was sent.  They don't need to come see these kids. #NoNewFriendsInClub306
• My uncle told me my dresses should fall below my knees to keep my legs a mystery to men.  I laughed that off immediately.  Warm weather means my legs are out.  #SummerTimeFine
• My cousin's boyfriend got smart with me Thursday.  I almost had to pop off at him.  #YouDontKnowMe #TurpinStreetBreed #SuburbsRaised
• I did nothing productive this week and a part of me doesn't care. *shoulder shrug*

I just need to finish out April and May.

It's Friday so you know the deal...

• Let me do a Basketball Wives summary for the past two weeks:
• Why must Basketball Wives be so ratchet?  Just why?!  And why must I enjoy it so much?! 
• And why Jackie ol' crazy same weave track wearing behind start that mess up? 
• And why is Sundy dressed like a video girl from an early 2000's music video?  I was just waiting on Lloyd to pop out and start singing to her.
• How many times has Draya said she wasn't gonna be trusting Jackie? 
• Lorenzo needs to stop acting like he's a dang on Laker.  You ain't Kobe.  You ain't Lebron.  You ain't even the lowest paid NBA player in the league.  Get it together man.
• So pretty much  Draya's boyfriend was Catfish'ed by Jackie's daughter.  Oh God...
• Jackie's daughter is pretty but she has issues over a man that's not even hers.
• Why does Draya have these black women at this zombie run?  We don't do that mess.
• My Monday night last week was a crazy time filled with me helping out my sibling.  If I were truly mean I would have left him on the side of the road.  Plus I had to go bang on his door like a bill collector Sunday before church...but the Lord was with me as I went to retrieve my money.
• Someone buy me a copy of this Radical Math Volume 10 book please and thank you.  It has a lot of games in it that seem pretty cool.
• This week has gone by fast but not fast enough.
• Summer Break?  Where art thou? 
• I'm glad the temperature finally made up it's mind as to what it was going to do.  I don't have have time to be wearing stockings still.  #TinaTurnerLegs #ThatsWhatAnOldManToldMeOnce
• Speaking of old men, that awkward moment when an old creep asks you if you went to school and you tell him you taught at school today to which he says how much you look like a student and has nothing else to say.  #HeMightHaveBeenAPerv
• Somebody made a comment about my old high school being majority Black and I commented saying how it was 51% Black and 48% white in '08. Some white kid said, "I was the only white kid in all of my classes."  It took everything in me not say, "Must not be fun being the minority for once in your life."  
• Black Ink is back on.  Dutchess is still annoying as hell.  Nothing has changed I see.
• Sooooooo in the Walmart parking lot some girl and her boyfriend were talking.  The boyfriend looked at me and the girl noticed.  She loudly said, "Why you looking at her?!"  His response was, "Because she looks f*****g good!"  Once he said that I started walking around them but Lord Jesus that girl started power walking and I thought she was about to pounce on me.  I was gonna end up on World Star because I wasn't gonna go out like a punk.
• I'm about to break Lent all types of ways this weekend.  I'm gonna be eating hamburgers at The Grill with some feta dip, getting a mixed pupusa at Tlaloc, getting one of those diabetes type cupcakes at Gigi's...ugh I can't wait. 
• Somebody asked about "my boyfriend."  I was lost as to who this mystery man could possibly be.  
• This girl decided to announce to the whole class that she has 9...let me spell that out in caps for ya'll...NINE cavities.  That's the last thing that I would want to admit, especially when I'm like 15.  I bet her breath is ridiculous.  #NoInvitesToTheSocialForYou
• Move That Dope has to be one of my favorite songs out right now.  The beat is crazy and the beautiful Pharrell provides a verse.
• I've been trying to eat a lot of bread lately.  #TeamThickForTheSummer

• I need to plan my trip to Miami for next year.  If all these damn college kids can afford to go there's no reason why I can't.  #MiamiSummer2015

• New swimsuit and it's a bandeau top!  Here's to hoping I don't encounter any clothing malfunctions with it on at the beach.  #NoJanetJackson  #IllProbablyPutTheStringsOnIt
• Khloe Kardashian is really the best Kardashian.  Her street wear is always a mix of elegance and high class escort to the who's who of rich men.  Yes, I did just say that.
• I look nice in a lot of colors.  This is a sign that Lupita and I might be sisters.
• I have been informed that I have a UGA one-sie waiting me.  Um can we say exciting?!
• This Sour Patch Kids gum from Stride ain't hitting for nothing.  The flavor is gone in like 5 seconds.
• Just thought about the time I was in college and went to get my hair done at the mall.  This really popular girl who was the same year as me was getting her hair done and when she left I got the same beautician as her.  Then the beautician informed me that the girl had a weave.  I never looked at her the same.  #BeauticiansCantKeepSecret
• Did my first Crossfit class.  My thighs are about to feel it.

• Everyone is getting engaged too...nobody cares.  
• Must resist the urge to buy this dress online.  Must.  Resist.  *checks e-mail*  Oh a coupon for $15 off.  
• I surely don't appreciate the temperature dropping during the baseball game.  Went from like 60 to 30 degrees in five seconds. 
• Jackie Christie on Basketball Wives has like the worst grammar in the world I swear.  Her weave game has drastically improved from season 1 to this one.  Yes for those Basketball Wives of LA checks paying for the Indian Remy in select scenes.  You better swing it!
• I learned how to make an arrow on the Promethian Board.  That's one small step for Ms. Jones. 
• I received Teacher of the Week for my school.  Yay for stuffing the ballot box
• I really need to go out of town.  I'm tired of this city.
• I bet Luptia's brother is gonna be one of those fine old African men with some nice salt and pepper hair.  I can see it already.
• A little girl in Zaxby's asked this woman that was apart of her group if she got a kid's meal.  The woman replied with, "No, I don't get kid's meals.  I'm a big b***h."  I was done after that.
• It's always nice when kids who you don't teach ask if you're gonna be coming to their games.  They really do notice that stuff.
• I'm pretty sure some of the students in one of my classes thought I was going through a terrible break-up.  I told them I didn't feel well, had the class lights off, and some sappy Bruno Mars's music playing.  Next thing you know I hear, "Ms. Jones, you are all right?  You look depressed."  
• Oh and in another class my girls said they're gonna set me up with someone.  I told them I was good.  I have no interest in the thug uncles and brothers they might have.
• Saw my 4th grade teacher at the store.  She said she's thinking of going to middle school.  I gave her a death stare.

• Watched this show called Bring It!  I assume these girls are just doing like marching band type routines.  The coach has a crucial overbite.

• Olive Pope just got it in with the president and her side dude is outside listening to the entire conversation of them talk about him.  He must be feeling some type of way.
• "Oh you're not mixed?"  No, I've said this before.
