Hey folks! Since I’m really only able to post like once a week.. I decided to go ahead and hit ya’ll with a long one. First… just a catch up on some things with me. Second.. a meme/tag I stole from Insanely.. my bad Nsane Lee Sane.

I’m loving my new job. My co-workers and supervisor are mad cool. My work load is so low compared to my last job… and what’s crazy is that my day still goes by fast because my co-workers make it fun (and I read ya’ll blogs of course!) Everyone there is really helpful and although I don’t have a clue about our systems… I don’t feel loss like I did when I was at my last job.

My brother is SUPPOSED to have a party next Saturday (August 5th.) Honey-Libra if something goes wrong… I’ll definitely let you know! But the details are: Ladies FREE before 11PM and $5 after. Fellas $5 before 11PM and $10 after. It’s supposed to be at Gossip’s (I have to get the address.) Black people…. That’s all I’m going to say about this party. It was supposed to be at the 347 Club… but they never really squared that away. My brother is checking TONIGHT to make sure they can get Gossip’s. All I have to say is if they don’t have his party next Saturday… whichever day in August they decide to have it… I won’t be there because I have too much shit going on with me next month and I won’t be able to make it.

Today GTL and I are going to a cookout. OH I CAN’T WAIT!! I haven’t been to a cookout (other than intimate ones with family & close friends) all summer!! And they’re going to have all types of stuff there!! They went over the menu but it was too much to remember to list for ya’ll. I know I’m on a mission... but that won’t matter today. LOL!

I’ve been slacking on my mission anyways. My mother an I took a 2-week vacation from Curves! LOL! We just didn’t feel like going. But we’re going to be back at it come Monday… so all that I eat today, I will soon work it off.

This week is Baltimore Restaurant Week. It’s where you can go to a select few expensive restaurants and pay $30 per person for a 3-course meal. We went to The Capital Grille . OMG! That food was so great! And we (or should I say he.. LOL) paid like half the price of what we would’ve paid on a normal night. But it was so nice in there – no jeans anywhere!! The governor of PA was there as well. We will definitely be going back because the food was delicious and well worth what they would normally charge. Some of the restaurants that were listed got over on people because Phillip’s Seafood Restaurant (the buffet) is already only $33 – so if you went during this week thinking you were saving some money – you only saved $3. LOL! And I think Uno’s was on there – they are far from expensive…

Wednesday, GTL and I will be going to see MJB. I can’t wait! I heard that it’s a really good show and that Jaheim tears it up! I love me some Jaheim! His music is wonderful – he just needs to come out w/ a new CD. LOL!

I think I’m done rambling… so on to the tag: Then And Now.

Ten years ago today, it was July 29, 1996. I was going into my freshman year of high school:

17) Looking back, are you where you thought you would be in 2006?
I didn’t know what I’d be in 2006… Didn’t think about crap like that until my 10th grade year. Only thing that’s true that I didn’t want back then is that I am still kid-free!

Good day folks!
