Weekend Rantings and Ravings...

Monday, July 23, 2007


Another week ,Another day...

The Bam Bamms are in Charlotte for their "court ordered" summer vacation for a week. So, I spent to this weekend chillin, working, basically doing nada. Tried this AMAZING zuchinni pizza from a one of my Rachael Ray cookbooks. Let me know if you want to recipe:)... Here we go....

*So Saturday Morning I took a class at the SPBG library and arrived at 9 am before the doors opened. It was like 30 people waiting. I thought..."The SP library hot like this?" But, no, these people were waiting to check out the new Harry Potter book. One chica told me she was to cheap to buy it then asked where I got my handbag...I told her mark. by avon catalog.

*Why do women go to Wal Mart with headscarfs and house shoes on and then look at you like you should be wearing those Aldo espadrilles with matching bag up in there?

*Will Revlon stop adding new "limited edtion" things to their already wack "limtied edition" collection. Lash Jewels? Gold eyeshadow in roller ball applicator?

*I bet there is not one Devi Kroell for Target bag left at SPBG Target. It sucks to be on a budget.

*Someone please call Charter and tell them that I'm not going crazy...The picture on all of my HBOs is tiling and fuzzy. They know they just as bad as Comporium.

*City of Union, stop charging me $15.00 for a trash pickup when you half-assed pick up the trash.

*I just want a IPhone so I can watch You Tube videos...

*PurseBuzz YouTube videos are my fav!

*That doggone Big Lots...A budget foodie's dream! They have a wine fridge and pod coffee/tea maker in there for 29.99 and 12.00. I picked up my favorite Kashi TLC Crunch bars, some Revlon SL l/gs, and some Chipotle Mustard.

*I got the hookup while getting my sons' haircut at the barber shop Friday...The new Kelly Rowland, Bobby Valentino, Maysa, and Streetwise CDs

*If you got TV One, watch Stage Black...Its quite interesting.

*I can't wait til my Aunties get here in August!

*I got some samples of the new Imari Seduction featuring Jennifer Hudson...I love it.:) Speaking of perfume...I scoped out two "dupes" of With Love by Hillary Duff and CK Euphoria. Scary enough, they smelled really close like the real thing.

*I'm ready already for my kids to get home...:(

*My new favorite flower: lilies!!! The Fresh Market for 3 for $10.

Have a spendid week!

Lest Us Not Forget...


Yesterday was digging thru my eyeshadow drawer for some bronze deep bronze colors. I love a bronze/gold/eye and face. I think I can do one about 10 different ways. I fell upon one of my long lost favs, Revlon Illuminance Creme Eyeshadow Quads in Khaki Suede. I remember back when I live in the Rock, I used to kill the Wild Orchids for a perfect smoky purple eye. The key for me was to layer the creme shadows with powder shadows in similar colors for the long lasting and intense look. I put that khaki Suede on with a couple MAC piggies in Tan and Chocolate and really didn't look like I was going to work at a grocery store for the day!
