I had a very busy weekend. But I had a LOT of fun!!

Friday was my happy hour. Not as many people came out that was supposed to because they were scared of a little rain. But it’s cool, because those that did come out had a blast.












Drink specials: 2 for 1 damn near all night long, when it was supposed to end at 8PM. Our bartender Cody hooked us up!



Saturday GTL and I went to Lincoln. Cold and Windy are not the words!! I dressed in layers, but damn if I wasn’t still cold as fuck. That wind wasn’t no joke. But my first Homecoming experience was cool. I couldn’t get over how cold it was outside. I saw an informal step show.



Ate well. I had a 2 foot sub (not to myself of course!)



And it was delicious!! If you want to see more Lincoln Homecoming pics, check out GTL’s spot b/c I honestly don’t know half of the people in the pictures! LOL. My only complaint from the day is the After Party…. I was sober all night. Ya’ll know how I like to drink. >:-( And so was my friend Hasaan.



Sunday we came back. Relaxed most of the day. Then we went to dinner. I took GTL and my 3 homegirls to Champ’s to eat as my THANK YOU for helping me with my mom’s party. After dinner, GTL and I went to see Saw 3. I’m not sure how I feel about this movie. It was just OK in comparison to the first two. The ending SUCKED BALLS. Cause it’s like… so will there be 4th? And if so…. How the hell are they going to pull it off this time? I don’t know…. I think I probably could’ve waited to see that one on DVD.

All in all, I had a good weekend. How was yours?

And it’s not because I’m excited about tonight or this weekend or anything like that… I just rather be in my bed right now. Today is cloudy and supposed to be rainy out all day…. This is the perfect day to be in my bed… not at work. But since I can’t go anywhere…. I’ll make the best of it.

Plans for the weekend….. I have a lot in store!

Tonight…. I won a happy hour at The Lodge Bar. They’re only offering drink specials from 8PM-10PM… so I decided to start it at 7PM. I’ll probably go down a little earlier, just so I’m there to greet my guests. Hopefully it will a lot of fun. They play decent music (Top 40) but then they play a ban around 10PM or so. I hope the band is good… cause the couple of times I’ve been, they sucked!

Tomorrow… Headed to the mall to find a cute shirt to wear that night. Tried looking last night, but had no luck. So hopefully I’ll find a sexy shirt… Gotta look good when I go up to Lincoln :-) After that, GTL and I are hitting to road to go to Lincoln’s homecoming. Don’t worry, I’ll be dressed in layers! And I’ll have my skully, no plans on getting sick over here! We’re staying the night up there so we can go to the after-party. What’s crazy about this party is that it ends at 3AM…. This is the alumni party… the current’s students party ends at 5AM. What’s up with that????

Sunday…. We’ll come back from PA. I’m kind of late with it, but better late than never…. I’m taking my 3 girlfriends and GTL out for dinner. They helped me sooo much with my mother’s surprise birthday party…. No one in my family (except my grandmother, and she’s my dad’s mom!) helped me with the party. I told them that I was going to treat them to dinner to show my appreciation…. But I had to make it clear to those drunks that if they want alcohol, they’re on their own. LOL.

What plans do you have?? Hope you have a great weekend!!

This morning I was thinking…. I’m happy. Everything is well in the world of TTD. I read my buddy Freaky Deaky’s blog today and it had me thinking. I’m one of those selfish bloggers he’s talking about. The kind that post occasionally, but always want to read other’s. I don’t do it intentionally, but have come to the conclusion, it’s because I’m happy.

When I first started this blog, I hated my job. I hated (well, really was frustrated with) my current friend/roommate at the time. So I was posting often cause I had a lot on my chest to vent about. But that’s not the case anymore.

I love my job; even my part-time job. My ex-roommate is now only an associate so I don’t worry myself over her anymore. My current friends, although not perfect, are great to me. My husband is great. Of course, as with any relationship, there’s the occasionally lover’s quarrel, but other than that…. We have no problems: great communication, trust, sex...................

I honestly have nothing to complain about. *Knock on Wood* So of late, I’ve been posting about twice a week… once to tell what I have planned for the weekend, and the other to share pictures and tell you about the weekend.

Just for you Freaky… I’m going to try and do better. I probably won’t come up w/ any thought provoking topics (like my husband) but I will do my best to post more... now I won't promise that I actually will post more (LOL) cause I am an only child... but I will try :-)

I love my new class! My new teacher is NOT boring at all, and the stories he tell are actually pretty funny. The class is supposed to go until 8:30… but he said he’s going to try his best to get us out of there by 7:30. So this class is looking really good.

OK… so last night.. 2 min before class I go online and try to check my hotmail. I get the message that hotmail.com was for sale. If I was fast on my feet and I had more time, I would’ve bought that damn domain! Do you know how much Microsoft would’ve offered me to buy it back from me??? I wouldn’t even had been greedy, I only would’ve asked for $1 million. LOL! Next time!

Getting ready for this weekend… Have a Happy Hour that I’m hosting on Friday… that should be a lot of fun. Then Sat, headed to Lincoln to experience my first REAL college homecoming… excited…

My week is going by pretty good, no complaints on my end. A friend of mine got stabbed last week, so my prayers are with him for a quick & full recovery and also to be smart about the situation…..

Nothing else really to say, so I’ll end for now.

***Update***
I got an A in my class!!!!! Yah me!!!! I still have a 4.0 in Grad School!!! Celebration bitches! lol

I had a good weekend. Only one bad night, and that was Thursday. I got my belly-button pierced August 2005. Sometimes it still bothers me. Well Thursday night, I decided I was going to take it out and give my stomach a break. When I woke up Friday morning to put my belly ring back in, the hole had closed on me. WTF! It was only 8 hours ago when I took it out. =( And yes, I’m sure its closed. It closed from the inside out. I could get in the top and bottom holes, but it doesn’t go pass the entrance. Oh well. Maybe in another year or so I’ll get it done over again.

Friday night was my date with my mom and grandmother. We did Popeyes. I haven’t been to this Popeyes since this episode back in March. And lo and behold, they fucked my order up again. I asked for mashed potatoes and red beans & rice. I got mashed potatoes and cole slaw. YUCK! I hate cole slaw. But I was already at my grandmothers… luckily her and my mom eat it.. so it didn’t go to waste. But this time I went online and complained.

Over the Hedge was a really cute movie. My mother and grandmother were cracking up. I laughed here and there. I don’t know.. ever since Finding Nemo, there haven’t been that many really good cartoons. I mean I absolutely LOVE Finding Nemo. I can watch that movie repeatedly and crack up. Chicken Little was good, but I digress. I would recommend Over the Hedge to anyone to RENT… I don’t know about buying it….

Saturday, I had to work. When I got off of work, I got myself together for the Baltimore Meet & Greet. The plan was to meet at Organized Noise hotel and walk down. We got to his hotel and realized how far away it was from the harbor and the price for parking at his hotel, we opted to drive. LOL. We got there and headed straight to the bar to wait for the others. We got drinks from our bartender Jess.



When the rest came, we went to our table and ordered appetizers and more drinks from our waiter Quad.


Doesn’t he look like the young Michael Jackson? LOL

GTL asked for something strong to drink, the strongest drink possible. Quad didn’t think that he could kill his drink, so they made a wager that if he killed his drink, our wings were ½ off.



His drink was gone in 5 seconds. Organized Noise was like, it I knew it would’ve been gone that fast, I would’ve recorded it. LMAO. Because of that, Quad kept giving him free shots of drinks, but wouldn’t tell him what they were. It was like guess the shot! We were eating and drinking and being merry. Kween got some potato salad with her mini burgers that were horrible. And people started acting. LOL. They ate the some potato salad and would act like it was good. What was funny was that, Quad came by and was like, “Don’t do that!” when Kween was about to take a bite. He was like, they look good, but I wouldn’t recommend ANYONE eating them. They’re disgusting. Well No1Special hid the bad taste very well.



But GTL couldn’t hide it. LOL



It was 10 PM and the drinks were now ½ priced. You know what that means!! More drinks!! And more pictures!









Then the games started. We played never-have-I-ever. I swear... you learn so much about people from these games. When people would drink to certain statements made… and we all had the WTF look on our faces, demonstrations had to be done.



Then we had to rep our schools. The whole reason behind the meet and greet was for Morgan’s Homecoming, so here are the Morgan Alums.



But so what! MSU, wasn’t the only school represented there. We Are… Penn State!!



We all had a ball and are trying to make plans to go up to NY some time in Spring 2007.



Sunday I had to work again. And then I took a loooong nap before dinner. Dinner was good. We had lasagna and wine w/ sundaes for dessert. We watched Old School and then Cold Case. Everybody left and then I fell asleep on Without a Trace.

I have to get well rested this week, because this upcoming weekend is going to be off the hook.

I’ve been MIA the past couple of days from the blog world because I had to modify my rough draft so that I can submit my final copy last night. IT Law is officially over as of 8PM last night. WOO HOO!!!! No break though, cause next Tuesday I start Customer Relationship Management. Fun.

Hopefully I’ll get a B in the class. I sooo slacked this course, so I don’t think I’ll be getting my usual A =(. We’ll see though.

I have to go to Hollywood Videos so I can get Over the Hedge. I have a “date” with my grandmother Friday. Hopefully she’ll cook! But that’s wishful thinking! LOL.

Saturday (after work) it will be on!!! I get to re-meet BK Diva & Honey-Libra. I also get to meet Organized Noise and two other Baltimore bloggers… We’re going to dinner down the harbor and get a couple of drinks and laugh it up. It should be fun. Maybe do a comedy club afterwards… I’m still contemplating that one because I have to go to work the next morning… we’ll see come that night.

Sunday… is our “Sunday dinner.” Every month, GTL and our friends and I have a “Sunday Dinner.” We rotate months – who’s hosting & cooking. I think we’re having chicken this weekend…

Not too much going on with me. I don’t have anything going on in my mind that I need to vent about. I’m tired. I think all of these weekend activities and working out & school during the week is starting to take it’s toll on me… but you only live once, right?

My weekend was great. And now I’m really exhausted and dehydrated. LOL.

Friday…. I went to Kween’s play. A-MA-ZING… I love this play. It was the prequel to a play we went to last year.. I don’t know which one I like better. But I think this one was funnier. Laa, Missy, and No1Special came through the play prior to heading to love. I got a taste of what I would be in store for on Saturday… Those ladies are mad cool.

After the play… GTL and I were supposed to go to a party with his co-workers, but he knew that I really wanted to go to the after-party with my girlfriends. So we made a deal that we’d go to the after-party for a few and then head to his party. Well…. The music was jumping and I really wanted to stay, so we went our separate ways. And my girlfriend bought me home. I had a blast with my friends and he had a blast with his friends.


(Bloggers at the play)


(me & my girls at the play)


(me & GTL at the play)

Saturday…. GTL and I spent most of the day together. We went to the mall, then he went to get a hair cut, while I went to get my feet done. We ate, then while I took a nap, he worked a little bit… and then we headed to Upper Marlboro for the DC Meet and Greet. I had a blast. I met some bloggers that I’ve read for a while, some that I read occasionally, and one that I must start reading. There was spades, twister, questions, never-have-I-ever… GTL and I didn’t get back home until like 4:30AM.

(Dynasty & No1Special)

(Missy & BK Diva)


(me & BK)


(all of us)

I learned how to pronounce Laa’s name. It’s not Laa, in the sense… “Jay-Z be smoking that laa, laa, laa…” It’s pronounce LAY… When she told me her real name… I was wondering where LAA came from. LOL. Wait a second… what happened to Honey-Libra??? And D-Dot????? Ya’ll missed a great time!!


(Twister)


(BK Diva, I forgot dude's name, & Eddie)


(me & GTL)

Sunday…. The plan was to go to Church…. But that didn’t happen. I didn’t wake up until the time that I needed to be leaving the house. So I played with my iPod until it was time to head to PA for GTL’s basketball alumni game.

He played well… but you can tell some of his teammates haven’t played in a while. They got their asses kicked but the current Lincoln basketball team!!! I saw my “little boyfriend” from high school. He’s a current student/athlete at Lincoln. Which was crazy to me b/c he was my age, but a year behind… He’s a junior. But he explained to me that he was in a bit of “trouble” after high school, but he finally got himself together and he’s trying his hardest to stay out of “trouble.”

On the way back home, I reserved our room at a hotel out there for the end of the month when we go back for the homecoming. We had a different reservation at another hotel that wasn’t as close.. and I’m about to cancel that one right now!

***I have been trying to upload my photos for like 3 hours!!!!! I hate blogger.***

***Last updated 10/10 @ 3:00 EST***

This weekend GTL and I were supposed to go to the movies to see Jackass 2 and Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. But since it rained Friday and Saturday, I opted to stay in the house instead.

Friday night, we sat up talking and drinking and just getting to know each other a little better… I swear.. you never really know a person and these little sessions are great for our relationship… helps to clear up any misunderstandings that we may have. And they always end well. ;-P

Saturday we began our X-Men Marathon. I seen the first one in bits and pieces and really didn’t really remember much about the movie. I never saw the other two. We got through the first two, but they are a little long and since I had to work this morning, we decided to save the third one for tonight.

When I get off, I’m going home to wash my hair. Then I’ll be headed to my grandmother’s because she is cooking dinner just for me :-) The past few years she has always been out of town on my birthday and I let her know I was feeling neglected, so to make up for it, she’s cooking me my favorite: Bar-B-Q Spare ribs, collard greens, and baked macaroni and cheese. I can’t wait!!! So as long as I don’t catch the “itis" too bad… X-men three will get watched tonight. Which means, I will probably miss Cold Case and Without a Trace, but I’ll live.

It so sucks that I have to work tomorrow. The company that my job has a contract with is a government job and they are closed… but for some strange reason, we have to go in. But whatever. I got a lot of homework done today, and probably will get a lot more done tomorrow as well. Two more weeks in the stupid class, then I will begin another. I think I like the new class already, because unlike my current teacher, my book requirements and 1st weeks assignment is posted in enough time prior to the class beginning and I also received an email letting me know that it was there. Seems like this class is nice and organized and I need structure!!

So there is this game of Truth or Dare going around the blogworld. I was going to stay away, but T. Cas asked me to joined, so I said why not? I’m not going to post the rules, because damn near all of the bloggers that I read and/or read me are playing it. I chose truth. He could tell by my last post that I’m a drinker, so he asked me what was my most embarrassing moment when I was drunk. I thought long and hard about this one…. (I was about to say I’ve never been embarrassed while I was drunk – because I really couldn’t think of a time, but it just hit me!!)

Two Labor Days ago… I went out with TE and her now ex-roommate. When I first met her & her ex-roommate and they invited me out with them to party down Club One cause GTL told them how now that I was back from undergrad, the friends that I had in Baltimore, all had kids and I really didn’t have anybody to party with. Her ex-roommate was telling me how all they do when they go out is drink and dance all night long. Cool! Cause that’s me all of the way. I like to drink a lot before I leave so by time I get to the club I’m already drunk, or I need just one more drink to get me there and by time I leave, from all that dancing, I’m sober again. So I get to their house, they made some sort of concoction that I “just had to try” on top of what I had already had in me. So needless to say, I was wasted. We gets to the club, we’re partying for like 20-30 minutes… I’m like, these girls are cool. I can really party with them. THEN… the ex-roommate feet start to hurt and she wants to go down a level to sit down for a while. That while turned into the rest of the night. So I’m wasted just sitting down and the liquor is taking it’s toll on me. We leave and while in the car on the way back. TE is balling on 695. I started getting nauseous. I asked her to pull over, she didn’t hear me. I asked her again a little louder. By the time she pulled over to the shoulder, it was too late. I had already threw up on myself. I didn’t want to throw up in her car and leave stains so I tried to catch it in my hands. LOL. But most of it just got on my shirt. Talk about gross!!!! And to some…. This may not be that embarrassing, but it was to me because this was the first time I hung out with them and I didn’t want them to think I couldn’t handle my liquor cause I’m a soldier! LOL. My tolerance is better than some dudes I know… I just need to party that shit off! LMAO

I’m not going to do any dares, cause I seem to always have picture problems, so for the remainder of the game, I’m going to chose truth. So if there is something that you want me to answer… just hit it up in the comment section or in my cbox to the left. (Yes.. I finally got one. LOL) Also, put whatever you want from me (truth or dare) and then check back for your command.

I’m excited about October. I’m going to be really busy every weekend.

Next Friday, I’m going to see my sister’s play. Then that Saturday, I’m going to meet up with some bloggers: N1S, Missy, BK, Laa, and D. Dot (I know there are some others…) They’re coming in town for Howard’s Homecoming. Sunday, GTL and I will be heading to PA to his alma mater for a alumni basketball game.

The following Saturday, I’ll be meeting up with some more bloggers. This meet and greet is courtesy of Organized Noise for the purpose of Morgan’s Homecoming.

The last Saturday of the month, we’ll be back up to GTL’s school, for their homecoming. I didn’t participate in this many school activities when I was in school. LOL.

But the fun doesn’t stop there… I have something plan for each weekend in November too….

**********************************************************
Below the asterisks will be updates from the truth or dare game.

Honey Libra asked what was my 1st impression of GTL when I met him. Well when I 1st, 1st met him, I was 8. LOL. I thought, he could really play basketball. When I re-met him down the club, I was drunk, and when we exchanged numbers, I was thinking... I hope he's not trying to fuck me b/c that was like my big brother at basketball camp. You can check out our story here.

BlkButterfly asked what's the one thing you did in the past that you would change? and why? When I was 19, I got a tattoo of my then boyfriend's name on my arm. At the time I was in love, and had been for 4 years. I thought we were going to last forever. I regret doing that because now he and aren't together. I have a new man in my life that I love very dearly and I know it's hard for him to see another man's name on my arm. The size and location of it makes it difficult to get it covered. And to get it removed, will be costly... but I'm working on it.

Robert Mack asked me After Reading Serial Dater's blog would you still date him? and what the hell does TTD stand for? 1st question - no, I wouldn't. Not only because I have a boyfriend, but because 1) I don't think I want to be in one of his stories. 2) Just reading his stories makes me think that since his divorce, he's only after one thing. I'm done w/ the fuck-buddy stage.. I need more. 2nd question - It's my initials, but w/ my future husband's last initial. First name is Tiffany.. but I'm not giving out my whole government! LOL

MzNewAgenda asked If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? If you could have any career in the world, what would you do? I would live in Italy. Venice to be exact. I just love the gondalas!! My ideal career is to be a housewife! LOL. So that I can spend my time volunteering for various charities. Now only if GTL gets his act together and goes overseas to play basketball.. it could all work out! LOL. Although I'm laughing.. I'm serious. I don't like working... I do currently like my current position.. but I much rather not have to work at all.

My "twin" sent this email to me (for a 2nd time.. lol) I can't remember if I posted it or not, and I'm too lazy to search to see if I did or not... so enjoy!

BTW: I finished my paper (for it to be a rough draft anyways...) I called off of work yesterday and started on it like I was getting paid for it. LOL

I was supposed to write (or at least start) on my paper this weekend – didn’t happen. I have my topic, but I don’t know where I want to go with it. I have to turn in a rough draft for a 15 page paper on Wed – I may call out of work… we’ll see. But I have no desire to complete it. Like right now, I should be researching for some stuff, what am I doing? Writing & reading blogs! Pray for me ya’ll that I’ll get it together!!

Weekend recap –

Friday didn’t go exactly as planned…. We watched the movie, but not at the time we were supposed to. We had a rule for the viewers who saw the movie – don’t say the lines, else take a shot of tequila (I think that was a bad idea) cause once the shots started flowing, the more lines were being said… One viewer would not be quiet & then got mad cause we kept telling her to be quiet… Friday was interesting to say the least… but we finally got through the movie.

Saturday GTL and I was supposed to go to the Taste of Baltimore, but it rained for most of it, so we opted to stay in and do nothing.

Sunday GTL and I went to Six Flags for my company’s picnic… it didn’t rain!!! We got there at 11AM, and we had rode all of the rides, ate, and played some games by 2:30PM – there were absolutely NO LINES!! That was so great!! Next year, I’m taking some more people with us.. they tried to say only SO & children could come – what a lie!! I was so proud of my baby – GTL does not do roller coasters… at all. He got on 3 of them with me! He did so good!

Today… I’m at work… wishing I was home so I can work on my paper. I think I may call out tomorrow and spend my day at my school researching crap…. We’ll see. Have a good week..
