I Never Could Have Imagined

I had the sincere honor of having breakfast with one of the most wonderful bloggers out there. We have been reading each other for quite some time and shared many life experiences together. Had I not been in Texas, we probably would have never been given the opportunity to meet. It blows my mind away as I sit here and type, that we actually just met. If God only brought me out here, just to have the chance to meet her and her awesome family, then I'm good with that purpose. I wish it could have lasted longer, we could have talked for hours, but we needed to go and she needed to get her family back on the road.

We exchanged surprises, neither of us knowing that the other was bringing something. It is just how we have always been with each other.

She and her husband loved meeting Russia and I loved getting to spend time with her men. It was a lot of fun.

I could have hugged her forever. I gave her some big hugs from other bloggers that would have loved to have had the opportunity I was given today. It honestly made my year.

This and That Thursday by Mental Pause Mama

When the server says they are HOT tamales...believe her. Oh, and I love guacamole and avocados. I could eat them daily.

Should I worry that my oldest girl-child wants to be a cat? A cat with a master's degree? Naw, she is vastly intelligent and beautiful to boot. Who in the hell cares if she wants to be feline. I surely don't. Do you baby girl. Do you.

President Barack Obama has Jay-Z on his ipod? I knew there was a reason I liked that man. He's so dope, yo. I wonder if he gives certain people dap, but shakes some people's hands. Does the Presidential Protocol Office have regulations regarding the "giving of dap" and when one should do it and such. I wonder if the office staff had to be briefed on more urban greetings and terminology. These are the political problems I am concerned with.

I have that little quip from the upcoming release of the movie, "Dinner for Schmucks" stuck in my head..."Mama Mia Poppa Pia, Baby got the diarrhea."...it is driving me crazy.

I alternate that awfulness with the Honda Element Commercial...the one with the rodents dressed all "G"..."You can go with this, or you can go with that, you can choose this, or you can choose that...dip dop dippity." See what I mean? Driving me crazy.

I really think more should be done for the human population that is dealing with Bi-polar Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It seems to be a life that both the sufferer and their family members deal with in solitary silence. I have seen it affect so many and yet no one ever really talks about it. Why is that? Why is the stigma of mental illness so difficult for one to openly discuss?

I can honestly say my family is full of craziness and I am so proud at our overachieving ways!!! Go us!

My Boogaloo is going to be Sweet Sixteen this September. I have come up with a Diva Fabulous idea for her. I will share it with you after her birthday because she reads this blog regularly and I do not want her to know what I am planning, but it's cool...no, it's not a car, so let me just burst that bubble right now, okay.

I watched the final episode of Toddlers and Tiara's last night. I have nothing against parents who do this sort of thing, but (a) it kind of creeped me out a bit, (b) those children need some serious discipline, and (c) so do their parents.

It was reported that personnel data from more than 100 million Facebook users was recently published in a down loadable file...will this stop me from using this social platform or from playing my now addicted Farmville? Nope, probably not.

I have some new favorite quotes...I love quotes almost as much as pie...not quite as much, but almost.

"You're mad. Bonkers. Off you head. But I'll tell you a secret~All the best people are." ~Alice in Wonderland~ 2010

"There's just some people in this world who you can just love and love and love no matter what." ~John Green, An Abundance of Katherines

"don't let your past steal your present"

"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian." ~Dennis Wholey

"Dip Dop Dippity"-Honda Hamster Rapper

Wordless Wednesday

What a bunch of bull!! (Just one of the many bulls I had visited with recently.)

This is Home Girl (who doesn't tolerate bull crap in her life anymore) and I'm out.
