HAPPY NEW YEAR’S!!!!!!!
To end off 2006, I’m have a pre-New Year’s Eve Happy Hour tonight… Some bloggers are supposed to come through. I hope that I get a good turn out… I know some people are going out of town or are already out of town for the holidays… we’ll see. Saturday will be chill… And Sunday GTL and I will be having a intimate gathering of our CLOSEST friends over… after going to Church of course. New Year’s Day will be spent relaxing….
To end off 2006 in the blog world, I’m going to do this meme that I stole from Chele:

1. What did you do in 2006 that you’d never done before?
I went to Niagara Falls in August. I also danced with girls. LOL. I used to think that was sooo gross. But when I’m wasted, like most times I am in the club, it doesn’t phase me.

2. Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions?
I kept one of them… not to be stressed about other people. I’m truly living up to my blog title “Ask Me if I Care.” If certain situations don’t affect me, I really don’t care! And you know what? Being stress-free is GREAT!

3. Did anyone you know give birth?
Yes. I’m an auntie remember? My brother had a little girl. GTL’s brother had a little girl. My godson's mother had a little girl. I guess 2006 was the year of the girls? I know a lot of people that found out they were pregnant this year! Does that count?

4. Did anyone you know die?
Not anyone I know personally. My best friend's grandmother passed away this past weekend... But a lot of celebrities died this year… James Brown, Gerald Levert… to name a few.

5. What countries did you visit?
Canada.

6. What would you like to have in 2007 that you lacked in 2006?
A zero balance on my credit cards.

7. What dates from 2006 will remain etched upon your memory?
I don’t know! 2006 was a great year… too many good things happened for me to remember a date for them…

8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
GTL and I started T&J Promotions.

9. What was your biggest failure
I don’t think I failed at anything this year…

10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
No. I’ve been blessed. Other than the common cold or flu, I’ve NEVER suffered any illnesses or injuries.

11. What was the best thing you bought?
I dunno…

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
My brother. Since he found out he was going to be a daddy, he manned up and got responsible, he’s taking care of his… which a lot of men don’t. Also myself! I got 4 A’s this year.

13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
Appauled – my ex-homegirl aka my Godson’s mom. She doesn’t use common sense in her love life and she constantly struggles unnecessarily… which in turns makes my Godson suffers. Depressed – I don’t get depressed cause of someone else… Fuck ‘em!

14. Where did most of your money go?
Trips and clubbing. I went to Charlotte twice, PA multiple times, Niagara Falls, Vegas.. and although I won’t be going on my ski trip until Feb, it had to be paid off by the end of the year. I party like every weekend… so that’s a no-brainer!

15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
It doesn’t take much to excite me. I get excited about upcoming trips… meeting new people…Christmas!

16. What song/album will always remind you of 2006?
Jay-Z’s Kingdom Come. It’s the year he came out of retirement!

17. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Saved money. I tried, but it didn’t work out that great.

18. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Worked at my part-time job. The 1st 3 months of the year, I worked every week-end plus my full-time job. I was exhausted! I don’t think I ever really recovered from it…

19. Did you fall in love in 2006?
I was already in love with GTL… although I did “fall in love” with Dwayne Wade this year. LOL

20. How many one night stands in this last year?
None. I’m in a committed relationship!

21. What was your favorite TV program?
NCIS. Although I did get hooked onto the mini-series Fashion House

22. Do you hate anyone now that you didn’t hate this time last year?
I don’t hate people I just cut them off… So who have I cut off that I was speaking to this time last year?? Randy… Shawn… Darius… Kishia….

23. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
Getting my current position a lot earlier in the year… that stress from my previous jobs was hor-ri-ble!!!

24. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006.
I don’t have to explain myself to anyone. If I choose to do it, I shouldn’t do it more that once… If people didn’t comprehend the 1st time, then oh-fucking-well! Tomorrow is not promised… so live it up!!

25. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year?
I can’t think of any… so I’m just going to steal the one that Chele used because it’s a good choice!
There are people in your life / Who’ve come and gone / They let you down / They hurt your pride / Better put it all behind you / Life goes on / Keep carrying around that anger / It’ll eat you up inside –Don Henley, The Heart of the Matter

EVERYONE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR’S!!!!! BLOG YOU IN 2007!!!

Text Message Convo with a Stalker
I had this stalker a few years back. He and I were just ….buddies. LOL. Anyways… he wanted to make me his girl, I wasn’t feeling it… He was into his “work” and eventually I got fed up and found another buddy. This was like 2½ - 3 years ago… Every so often he calls or text me and I usually ignore him. I still have his number saved in my phone, but under DO NOT ANSWER… LOL. That way when he decides to pop up, my curiosity doesn’t get the best of me, causing me to answer his call.

Today he called me. I missed the call but decided to text him. Here’s how the conversation went:

Me: Why do you keep calling me?

Stalker: This number was stuck in my head and I was trying to see who it was. Don’t be a smart ass! Happy Holidays.

Me: Happy holidays to you too. Do you know who it is now? [I thought he did w/ the smart ass comment, cause that’s what he always called me]

Stalker: No disrespect, but kinda, sorta

Me: Take a guess. I won’t be mad if you guess wrong. Promise.

Stalker: Whoever you are, you must have someone because you took my call offensively. This is a nigga by the way

Me: No shit *insert stalker’s government*

NO RESPONSE

Me: Fucked your head all up, didn’t I? Still don’t know? I thought what we shared 3 years ago was special? LOL

NO RESPONSE

Me: Guess not… This is TTD

Stalker: Give me time to respond Ms. *insert my last name* I still do drive! [he drives for Coke… delivering soda to the stores in the area] Please call me, please

Me: No, I’m not calling you. What do we have to talk about?

Stalker: U still cold hearted and young sexy [was that a slick ass remark he just said to me??????????]

Me: What does that mean? “Young Sexy”

Stalker: You killing me with this text shit. Damn a nigga wanna hear your voice since I know who it is now

Me: You should’ve never forgot! No, I’m not calling you

Stalker: Fuck it then! Yeah, I definitely remember your ways now (young sexy) Its all good – ur friend, I guess?!?! [it was a fucking shot! bastard!]

Me: Fuck it then… Don’t call me in a few months trying to remember what number this is… Fuck that too! Have a happy new year and a great rest of your life! :-)

NO RESPONSE

Do you think that will get his crazy ass to stop calling/texting me??? I hope so. The last time we actually talked, I told him that I was in a relationship and was happy… basically to kick rocks! But he didn’t seem to comprehend… hopefully this time he will.

I know I could’ve just ignored him again… but that would not have stopped him from calling me again in March… figured I would just nip that shit in the bud once and for all.

EDIT: That didn't work.. Just got a text from him... "Why are you trying 2 shit on me. I ain't did nothing 2 u. If I would have known ur number I would've been calling just 2 c how you were doing. I know u ain't never had feelings on the level for me. I'm just trying to be a friend." I would respond.. "I don't want to be your friend" But that will get him to ask me why.. and the conversation will not end. So I will go back to ignoring his crazy, stalker ass. *sigh*

Weekend Recap
I had a great Christmas weekend. It was relaxed and peaceful. Only thing that would’ve made it better would be if I had a 4-day weekend, instead of 3.

Friday

Went to happy hour at Tony Roma’s with GTL and his colleagues… That was cool. Then we went over his one co-worker house to watch Talladega Nights. I sooo love that movie. Shake & Bake baby, shake & bake! LOL.

Saturday

I got up early and headed to Hagerstown to visit a friend in prison. The visit was good. Most visits, I end up wanting to kill him, but we just bugged out and was tripping the whole time. After the visit, I went down the street to the outlets to finish my Christmas shopping, where I made a killing. And I was excited because it wasn’t packed!! Most people went to the malls… which was great for me because I can’t stand being around Christmas shopping madness. I don’t have the patience.

Got back in town… went to Don Pablo’s to say farewell to TE. She leaves us today for 2 months. She texted me last night letting me know she got a digital camera for Christmas, which is great cause that means she can take a million pictures for me :-) I’m such a picture whore. LOL. Anyways… at dinner, I learned that outside of tacos and fajitas, I’m not a big Mexican food fan. After dinner we were supposed to go to TE’s house to finish off her alcohol before she left… but during my quick power nap, I received a text that she wasn’t up for it… she was tired. Fine with me!! My power nap, turned into a 12-hour night’s rest.

EDIT: Missy reminded me that I didn't share what gifts Santa bought me. I got a black 3/4 length coat; a brown leather jacket; brown knee boats; a camcorder; this little man that's really speakers for my ipod; a bunch of shirts for work; a scarf and 2 pairs of gloves; wallet; and MONEY :-)

Sunday

Got up and went to Church with GTL. After church, we went to Red Lobster… which had us full for the rest of the day. I washed clothes and then we went to GTL’s brother’s house where we drank daiquiris and bugged out.

Christmas Day

GTL and I woke up and headed to my mom’s about 8AM. We opened out gifts and all were ecstatic about what we received. I cooked us breakfast and then GTL headed to PA to see his mom for a bit. I stayed home and watch Miami defeat the Lakers :-) D. Wade is a beast! I love that guy! LOL. About 5PM my mom and I headed to my grandmother’s for dinner. GTL came over right after we finished, but he was still stuffed from his mom’s, so that was ok. After dinner we opened more gifts… then GTL and I headed out to play Santa Claus to the rest of his family. I started to go to my other grandmother’s house. But seeing as though I had to work the next day, opted to go home instead. Went back home and killed a bottle of wine…

Woke up this morning sooo wanting to call out. Not cause I had a hangover or anything like that. LOL. I just wanted another day to relax after all the hustle and bustle of Christmas Day. Today is pretty slow though, so I’m fine for now. My grandmother lives 5 min away from my job, so I’ll be headed there for lunch!

How was your Christmas???

Not much going on with me. No real plans for the holiday weekend. No parties (can you believe it? LOL.) Tonight will be a chill night for us. Tomorrow, I plan on finishing my shopping. I know what I’m getting, and from where, it’s just a matter of going to go get it.

Tomorrow night, we’ll be saying farewell to TE. She’s headed to N’awlins (New Orleans) for 2 months. She’ll be missed, but if time/schedule and money permits, we’re going to try to go visit her for Mardi Gras. That should be fun! We’re going to do dinner at Don Pablo’s, and then probably back to her house to kill the rest of her liquor! LOL. Her idea, not mine… but I’m not going to turn down free alcohol!

Sunday, GTL and I will be attending his church service. And then Monday, my grandmother is cooking as usual. I’ll hit up my other grandmother’s just to see my family.

Merry Christmas!!!

Difference in Friends
It's amazing how people always change things to make them what they want them to be. It's like the game telephone, where 1 person whispers in one's ear and so on and by the end of the line, the original message is all fucked up! I used to think it was just because of miscommunication (cause remember, you can't repeat it!) But after receiving this email, I realized that people just change shit cause they don't have anything else better to do with themselves!!!

I received a similar email to the one below a few months back, and every where you see WHITE FRIENDS said ASSOCIATE and every where that says BLACK FRIEND said TRUE FRIEND, but the saying behind it is identical.

Difference in Friends...
>
> WHITE FRIENDS: Never ask for food .
>BLACK FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.
>
> WHITE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Call your parents mom and dad.
>
>WHITE FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Would be sitting next to you saying, D@mn...we f*cked
>up...but that sh!t was fun!"?
>
>WHITE
>FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Cry with you.
>
>WHITE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Keep your sh!t so long they forget it's yours.
>
>WHITE FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you.
>
>WHITE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' azz that left you.
>
>WHITE FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!"
>
>WHITE FRIENDS: Friends are for a while.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Friends are for life.
>
>WHITE FRIENDS : Will take your drink away when they think you've had
>enough.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Will look at you stumbling all over the place and say,
>"B *tch, you better drink the rest of that, you know we don't waste!!"
>
>WHITE FRIENDS: Will talk sh!t to the person who talks sh!t about you.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Will knock them the f*ck out!!
>
>WHITE
>FRIENDS: Will ignore this.
>BLACK FRIENDS: Will pass it on to share with the rest of their BLACK
>FRIENDS!!!

I think I like the true friend vs. associate version better. Why does everyone have to make a joke out of black vs. white???

I'm Sick
I’m sick, at least that’s what I wish I would’ve called my manager and said this morning… actually everyday this week so far! We’ve been flooded with calls due to lack of communication and complete testing on part of the supposedly higher ups of our technical group…. I think we should switch places with their asses one day and when they see how their fuck-ups affect us, then hopefully they would do better.

In a helpdesk (which I work in, for some strange reason, since I’m really NOT a people person. LOL) most of our calls are password resets. I say about a good 70% of them. Why is our password reset system broke? It’s been down on and off since before Thanksgiving…. If the main system we need doesn’t work, how can we do our job? We have like 100 people we have to call back to reset their password. The customers are frustrated because without a working password, how can they get into the system to do their job?

And then, one lady is on vacation, one guy has the stomach virus, another guy is (supposedly) sick, and then there is a rotational person that is off today as well. We are so slammed with calls, it’s ridiculous. I’m tired, but that’s not going to stop me from getting a stress relieving drink!!!

On a lighter note… I won a Happy Hour at another club for the 29th. Consider this your invitation! LOL. If you want more details, holla at me, but I think I have the email addresses of most Baltimore/DC/NOVA bloggers, and you should’ve received an evite. I know the date is like right in the middle of the holidays, but we’re doing it as a pre-New Year’s Eve celebration. Hopefully a lot a people can make it. Last time I had a happy hour, it rained cats and dogs outside, which prevented a lot of people from coming through… hopefully, we won’t have that problem this time.

Christmas is near, and I’m NOT done shopping! I’m going to the outlets Saturday to finish off my gifts for my mom, grandmother, and father aka sperm-donor. And then I’ll be done. I’m so finicky about my Christmas mood. Sometimes I’m in the spirit, and other times I’m a grouch. Yesterday we had our office Christmas party and at the beginning I was Santa, and at the end, I didn’t want to be bothered!

Right now… I don’t want to be bothered!!!! Guess I need a drink…..

Random thoughts from the weekend…
• I love GTL’s co-worker, he’s so freaking funny
• I love his other co-worker, he gets me drunk EVERYTIME I go to his bar
• The experiment was fun, but not as much fun as it should’ve been
• We did it for certain people that bitched cause they missed the 1st two, and they still didn’t show
• It’ll be a while before I do it again (unless Missy tells me she’s coming in town to do it :-D )
• Prices went up in BJ’s… $4.20 for Hennessy & coke is still good… especially for the amount of Hennessy they give you… but I can save gas and go to a different back and pay 30 cents more…..
• I love my “best friend” – I use quotes b/c we’ve known each other forever, but haven’t been that close lately but I still love him the same…. And I’m protective of him – I don’t want any of my homegirls talking to him, or any of my homeboys for that matter….
• My one homegirl has a shitty attitude, and as of late, has made me realized that more often than not, that’s exactly why I don’t fuck with bitches
• I was wasted Saturday, during the day, but slept that off really quick!
• Will Ferrell is fucking hilarious! Elf was funny as shit
• My baby (GTL) is a BIG baby when he’s sick, but I don’t mind
• Got some Christmas shopping done, but not enough of it
• I should cook more often, cause I’m really good at… just never feel like it
• I need to upload my pictures from Saturday
• I felt weird not having homework to do over the weekend, but I’m going to cherish it!
• I hate Mondays… it’s so freaking busy, it’s ridiculous!

How was your weekend?

Got My Grades
Got an A!!!! Yah me!!! Keeping that 4.0… now my grandmother has even more to brag about to her friends :-) So you know what that means??? Tomorrow morning, at the experiment… I shall be WASTED! In celebration, of course. LOL.

Last night, my part-time job had their Holiday Party at McCormick & Schmidt. Food was great, free drinks were great! Last Saturday was my full-time job’s Holiday Party – they had open bar…. GTL says I work with a bunch of lushes at both jobs! LMAO. But he was up there drinking with me, so what does that make him?

Not too much planned for this weekend, other than the experiment. GTL and I might go to out tonight… just to work some things out for the future…. Not to party though, since we have a big day ahead of us. LOL. What plans do you have for the weekend?? Invite is still out there for you Baltimore/DC/NOVA bloggers to come “experiment” with us! Just holla at me :-)

Isn’t this picture crazy??



This is the new Time Out! Only thing missing is the tape over the baby’s mouth. HAHAHA

Have a good weekend!!!!

Freaky MeMe
Stole this meme from LadyNay, who got it from Freaky Deaky…. (GTL will probably kick my butt after reading this! LOL)

KISSING

If someone shoves you up against a wall while kissing you, your reaction is?
Instant turn on if done right

Have you ever been scared the first time you kissed someone that you might never kiss them again?
Yes.. scared that I wouldn’t like the kiss as much as I like them, and then I wouldn’t want to mess w/ them anymore.

How often do you kiss (read make out) with your significant other?
Sometimes… I’m not too big on kissing.

The old Dear Abby question... if you had to pick between kissing/affection/cuddling or sex/sexual touching and could only have one for the rest of your life, which would you pick?
Sex/Sexual touching. Again, I’m not a big on kissing.

Have you ever kissed your partner on the lips after oral sex without brushing teeth, nor washing/gargling/rinsing out mouth? Turn on or off?
Yes. If I’m scared to taste myself.. they my man shouldn’t be down there (and vise versa)

Approximately how many different people have you kissed in your lifetime? What was so great about the best one?
I don’t know… Who keeps count of stuff like that?

Birthday kisses or birthday spankings?
Kisses… I guess.

CLOTHES

Leather or lace?
Neither! Get straight to the point! Take it off!!! LOL

Do you own any leather or rubber clothing? Would you date or have you dated someone that owns any leather or rubber clothing?
I used to have jeans that had leather patches on them… but I was 10. LOL. This day in age, hell no! I wouldn’t date anyone that dressed like that.

What is your underwear "style" of choice for yourself and for your mate?
Cotton bikinis for everyday wear-n-tear. For the club… either boy shorts or thongs. I like my man in boxer briefs.

PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH

Have you ever licked or sucked on someone else's feet and/or toes?
NO! I hate feet.

Have you ever had sex or given/received oral sex while you were driving a car?
Yes. And I’ll leave it at that! LOL

Have you ever given or received a hickey on your upper inner thigh? Anywhere?
Don’t think so… other places, sure.

Do you prefer natural tastes or flavored lubes?
Natural. The artificial crap makes me wanna vomit.

How's your gag reflex?
I guess normal.

DRUGS

Have you or one of your partners ever taken a "drug" of any type to enhance your sexual experience?
Not really… partner.. no. I’ve tried that goat weed stuff before, but I didn’t notice a difference.

Do you think alcohol enhances a sexual experience, or diminishes it?
Enhances. Definitely

FOREIGN OBJECTS

Have you ever used ice for sexual purposes?
Yeah! I loved it! LOL

Have you ever used food as part of your sexual play?
Yes. It was very romantic.

If your partner brought a double dildo to bed, you'd be ____________?
Shocked (cause he doesn’t really do toys.) And a little upset cause I don’t do the ass.

Do you own a pair of handcuffs?
Sure do. With a matching eye mask for blindfolding :-)

MISCELLANEOUS

Wash up, cuddle, or fall asleep?
Either one, or all of the above.

Lights on or off?
Off… but if they’re on, that won’t stop me.

What do you consider the biggest turn on out of the following?
a) lingerie b) movies c) toys d) role playing e) leather f) none of this does anything for me
D) I like role playing

How often do you say "no" to sex? What's the #1 reason?
I don’t usually “say” no. I usually just pass out. So that would make the #1 reason, being extremely tired.

Have you ever role-played in bed with a partner?
Yes.

OUT THERE

Ever stalked or been stalked by an ex?
Been stalked.

Name something you haven't tried, but have been thinking about trying.
Bungee sex. LOL. Where are my CSI: NY fans??? Honestly, I don’t know.

When you climax, the best thing your partner can do to make it even better is ___________?
I just copied/paste the entire thing from Ladynay’s page. And I am LMAO @ Ladynay’s response to this question.. but I like it, so I will keep it! Keep doing what ever they did to get me over, let me grab into their flesh, say my name or growl...OH MY WORD!

School....
Is over! Last night was my last night of class. My new class starts up mid-January (I think.) And I’m so excited to be done!!! This class kicked my butt! I never had to work so hard to try to maintain an A and I’m not sure if I did it. I slacked so much this session, that I’m surprised that I currently have a 92%. Last night I gave my final presentation, I’m confident I aced that. But my paper that I turned in… I don’t know…. Honestly, I don’t care. Cause either I did well on it, and I still have my A; or did horribly on it and I got a B. Either way, that grade is good enough to get my tuition reimbursement! And that’s all I’m worried about.

So to celebrate…. This Saturday, my friends and I will be performing another “experiment.” If you’ve been following me for a while, you know what the “experiment” entails. If you’re kind of new, I don’t feel like looking back through the archives (but you can: look in Feb or March) to link it. But if you want to be lazy like me :-) The “experiment” is where we go to the bar at 10AM (when the doors open.) We know how it feels to be drunk at 10 o’clock at night, but how does it feel to be drunk at 10 o’clock in the morning?? Well, I know how it feels, seeing as though this is my 3rd experiment! LOL. But it’s a lot of fun!!!! MD/DC/NOVA bloggers… you’re more than welcome to join us. Just holla at me for more info.

This week has been hell at work. And not cause it’s really been that hard or that busy… but that week off last week, and adjusting to Vegas time, has kicked my ass! I haven’t adjusted back to time here…. I sooo need a nap. And since I’ve been doing my paper/presentation so much this weekend and early part of the week, I haven’t had a chance to. But bests believe I will be tonight!!!

I’ve been slacking on my weight lost thing. I haven’t been to the gym in like forever! I haven’t been on my treadmill in over a month…. But again, school is over and I have nothing to stand in my way now…. So I’m back on my grind! I got to get motivated…. I bought these white pants that were a little too snug for me, but since I plan on loosing weight by time I can actually wear them… I got them anyways. I also need to eat better. Once my Smart Ones lunches ran out, I went back to eating unhealthy with my co-workers. Guess I need to go back to the market, huh?

I love my job! During my slow periods, I was given permission to decorate our room. I was trying to upload a picture of the tree, but blogger sucks monkey balls... It looks great for the Charlie Brown tree it is! LOL. Today I plan on decorating the rest of our room. How great is that? I think I’m done rambling for today…..

MIA
Had to go MIA today. Tonight is my last night for class. I had to buckle down and put the last finishing touches on my presentation and my paper. I'll be back tomorrow! When this shit is all over with!

Vegas
Vegas was great. This my third time there and GTL’s second. Neither one of us are big gamblers because we’re both sore losers and we seem to ALWAYS lose! Monday we got to the hotel and checked in.



Then we grabbed a quick bite to eat so we could get ready for the awards show. G-mo…. I do remember you saying to hide the camera, but mine was a digital one and the metal detector went off as soon as I walked through it. GTL had a disposable camera, but the lady saw him tucking it into his inside jacket pocket as we were walking up so we had to check them. We had our camera phones though… although the quality of the pics don’t have shit on a regular camera, I know I was there and that I really enjoyed being a part of it so I really don’t give a shit that I don’t have pictures to share. :-) They were charging $40 to get your picture taken…. FORTY DOLLARS… They lost their damn minds! I want a celebrity in that picture or something!!! But it doesn’t matter cause we still got pictures of ourselves looking good.



I was told that the red carpet was in the same area as the show, so we went there thinking we were going to see some stars… but as we were walking into the arena and looked outside… what did we see? The red carpet…. So I didn’t get any pictures of celebrities up close and personal. Except Young Jeezy after the show. He’s one of my favorite rappers now for taking this picture with me. LOL!



I also saw Chingy. I was trying to get a good picture of him, but this white girl wouldn’t get out of his face for shit… So I got the back of his head. LOL. This is him in the red hat.



Thoughts of a Southern Girl, we saw TI... about 3 times, but he was always with Tiny. I didn’t get a picture cause the 1st time I saw him… I was just like… hey! There’s TI! He gave a head nod and we kept walking in opposite directions. The other times we saw him… GTL didn’t let my blind ass know it was him until after the fact! Even though he knew I wanted a picture. We saw Nathan from Boys II Men. And we saw 3-6-Mafia. I just kept staring at them, cause I wasn’t sure at first. Then it hit me that it was them… but since the only name I know is Crunchy Black (and he’s no longer in the group) I didn’t speak cause I’d be mad as shit someone try to get a picture with me and not know my name. LOL. After the show, we were supposed to go to the Rum Jungle in the Mandalay Bay… but we and the rest of the people that came with us passed the hell out cause we weren’t adjusted to the time difference.

So Tuesday about 4AM Vegas time, I woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. So I went downstairs, lost $20, and came back upstairs. LOL. Then GTL woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. So he went downstairs and saw Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri. He sat at the table next to them, but the bouncers made it clear that they were NOT taking pictures or signing autographs. He took a picture anyways with his disposable camera… but without the flash, so I don’t know how that’s going to come out.

Once we got up for the day, we hit the strip. Lost a little more money and just site-see again… Vegas is beautiful no matter how many times you go…. Tuesday night. GTL and I went to happy hour at Coyote Ugly in the New York, New York hotel. And I got fucking wasted!!! LOL. They were giving out mad free shots.






Those free shots, plus the 2-for-1 Hennessy’s had me up on the bar partying with the white girls! LMAO!!!!



We left there and got ready to go out. We went to Studio 54 where we met up with my cousins and my girlfriends. We had a ball there, and I drank some more!





Wednesday morning I woke up feeling really nauseous, but I refused to throw up… So I hurried up and ate. But as we started to walk the strip in a difference direction… I got worse… So I quickly turned around and went back to the hotel to lay down, where I recovered.

Then GTL and I hit up old Vegas down on Fremont Street. We saw a bunch of chapels on the way down there. I was like, “Let’s get married!” But we were both too sober to do something crazy like that! I want a big wedding…. LOL. And then we came back so we could get ready to go to OPM. Which was just ok. All they played was hip-hop and R&B… but not all of the songs were well-known or likable… so we went back to Studio 54… but not before getting a picture of my homegirl with Michael Jackson. LMAO



Studio 54 was cool. I was wasted.. but it wasn’t as fun as it was the night before…. But we stayed until it closed! LOL. Then we were trying to go to another night club in our hotel, Tabu, but they were charging $20 to get in, and was going to close within the hour…. So we passed.

Ever since Niagara Falls, I fell in love with Hooters wings. So after we got packed and checked out Thursday… we went to Hooters for lunch… It was great!!! But I wasn’t expecting anything less. Then we headed back to Baltimore.

Vegas was great… I’m going to skip the trip next year though… only cause GTL and I have things we’re working on… but we’ll be back 2008!

For you real picture-whores….. LMAO!!!



*** I just realized that slide.com has a 100 picture limit, cause I have like close to 200 pictures.... If you really want to see all of them, email me ***
