The perfect gift

Posted in at 11:57 am by queent

I had a great visit at home this year, which is surprising because I never have a completely great trip. Usually at least something goes wrong, hell I get in a fight of some type every time I go. I didn’t fight at all, I saw all the family I wanted to see, I even enjoyed some of the family I normally don’t enjoy seeing…lol On top of all that, my sister and I reunited and solidified our sisterly relationship. Our relationship has been severely strained over the past 10 years, so I’m overly thankful that we’ve put everything aside and have bonded.

I got exactly what I wanted this year; I got to enjoy my family

What was I thinking?!

I am picky about my Chinese food. I always have been, ever since I moved away from home. There are only two places in all of Atlanta that I could get good Chinese food from and I stuck to those places religiously. I had no intentions on even attempting to get good Chinese food here in Tx. I don’t expect North Mexico to know the first thing about Chinese food. And I’m fine with that, I can live without that.

However, I forgot that today when someone asked me if I wanted to order something. I’m leaving early today to take the boy to basketball practice, so I was just going to grab something and come right back to work through lunch. Ordering in seemed like the perfect idea! How quickly I was reminded that ordering in was a good idea; however ordering in Chinese food was not. This is worse than food court Chinese food. Blahhhhhh! No taste, no flavor, just boring.

I should’ve just opted to starve!

Shut up already

Vick in the news once again. Yes, he got 23 months. Yes, I understand that he’s been held accountable when many before him have not. I won’t disagree with that. But does that fact those before him haven’t been held up to the fire for their actions mean that he shouldn’t either? When is someone going to take responsibility?! It has to start somewhere and I’m sorry it started with him but the reality is it has.I don’t think there’s much question whether he did it or not. Stand up like a man and deal with the consequence of your piss poor decision making. Personally I’d think higher of him as he did. He’s an idiot and then to add insult to injury, he has no integrity. Oh wait…and he’s broke! Now I really wonder if it was worth it to him. Such a sad, pointless loss for Vick, the Falcons, and his fans.

Music splurt

Why am I not all that excited that I got the new MJB cd? I don’t know I’m just not feeling mary like I used to. She’s been inconsistent with the last few cds and I’m just not jumping for joy.

I’ve had the J Holiday cd for awhile, never played it. But I keep hearing buzz, constantly so I’m finally listening to it as I type. It’s not bad. I think this will actually grow on my.

I’m looking forward to checking out this Ledisi cd. I like what I’ve heard so far so I can’t wait to see if the rest is as good.

I am doing cartwheels (and ya’ll know I can’t really do a cartwheel…lol) because I finally got the new DJ Jazzy Jeff cd. I haven’t listened to it yet, but I don’t have to in order know to know that this is what my life has been missing…lol

I’m old

Which is sad because I’m only 28, but clearly I must be old, because I really feel like the outlook that teens have now is vastly different from when I was a teen. I look at things they say, things they like, their actions and I don’t understand them. I don’t understand why everything is dey and dis and jus and lik3. When did whole words become uncool? And yes I know that there is slang, and I’m not against or knocking or saying I don’t understand that. But I think these kids don’t have the same out look on communication and appearance as in generations before.

Where are they going with this outside of 13-19? Do they even think there is anything outside of 13-19? Do they have goals? Are they trying to be something somewhere at some point, or is there no thought of those things? And how do I raise a child against all of this?
