Furious!!!!!!!

I'm so furious.....at my freaking CAR!!!


I'm so sick of it...it makes me cry....ughhh!!!

So about a month ago the car broke down on 176 going to Spartnaburg. I had it towed to the Toyota Dealership. Well, my mom convinced me take to a mechanic she goes to "sometimes". It took them a week to fix it and when I got it back it wasn't running as good( cranking up hard, burning through gas)

*The Devil is a busy ass character...he just doesn't want me to happy..*

Back to the story. So the car is leaking something. I think its oil. So I check my oil. It's low. So every week, I put two quarts of oil in the car and send a prayer up to God to get me back and forth to work, cuz I can't afford a new car on what I'm making. So, again, my mother has a idea, to get a oil change. So I go for an oil change and they say,"Your car is leaking transmission fluid, I would have it towed your mechanic..." Then they ask me what got done on the car. My dumb ass doesn't know because I let my mother handle it. So now I'm at my mother's fuming, waiting for her because she ain't answering her cell...

I feel like breaking down.

Love ya'll

Merry Christmas to me!...part 1

I learned this from my Momma. Buy yourself something for Christmas. I'm usually single anyway around Christmas/New Year's, so waiting on a Christmas gift from someone is crazy. My mom will pick out something at the last minute. But I don't really want her to. I tell her to buy for the kids.

So I ordered these two mark. gift sets: mark. jewel Gift Set and mark.self sanctuary body butters gift set. I like how the jewel smells and I've been wanting to use the body butter for a minute.

Plus, when you order you get a 1-year subscription to Glamour magazine with orders over $20. Very cool.:0

"Snore"....

Hey people...Sorry I've been missing. I've been at the Le Lion Plantation all week. I'm busted. I did how ever stop into the Union St. CVS in the 'burg for a pick me up. I mean, where is the all of the Holiday color stories? I haven't even seen one good tacky one from Wet N'Wild. I picked up the Vaseline Cocoa Butter Body Gel and the HIP Cream Liner in Black.

Hence...my sleepiness. Both products, boring and not worth buying....
First, that overrated and over hyped body gel is the same body gel from J&J with the scent of cocoa butter. I could have bought the Equate brand and mixed it with Queen Helene Cocoa Butter for a better mixture.

Second, the cream liner isn't that bad. But Loreal...please stop putting those cheap ass brushes in all of the HIP stuff and marking up the price. Because the brush ain't worth a d*mn and 11.99 is outrageous. MAC cream liner is probably close that same price...without the worthless brush.

*Yawn*

Whew! Great Beauty beyotchin' session for me. I needed that!

"Not just Metropolian but Cosmopolitan..."

This morning I went to see Senator Hillary Clinton speak in the 'Burg at the Marriott. I just found out about yesterday in the Herald. But it was truly great...I'm totally sold!!

I got a real close seat. The program started at 9:30 and I was there at like 8:15, after a stop at Starbucks on Pine Street, of course:) That cutie of a police officer in the pic kept asking me for some of my breakfast!

Do I look political? No, I look like my mother in that pic sans eyeglasses.I got politics in my system though. I was Poli Sci minor at the WU and served on the WU SGA for three years as a senator and parliamentarian. I'm excited about the '08 elections...
A little bitty supporter! I sent the kids off to preschool. They would have showed out, seriously!
Senator Clinton. She was phenomenal and super genuine...
I got this close and got nervous. I said, "Hi, Hillary!!".She said,"Hello, young lady...Thanks for coming out..." People were getting her autograph and taking photos with her. I still stood there frozen...How cute.

One of the pastors that introduced her called her, "Not just metropolitan but Cosmopolitan..." She let out a big hearty laugh. :)

Check out the article already up on the www.goupstate.com on the event!

Thanksgiving Fashion Meme...

I found this random Meme on the web....

What has been your biggest fashion indulgence?

Hard one...very hard one. My indulgences change with the wind. Right now its earrings and headbands. This N That, the one dollar accessory store in the 'Burg on Pine Street, gets me every single time for $20. Next pay period, it might be shoes and purses. But rarely clothes because I'm an interesting fit. 5'0, about 180 lbs, seriously curvy.

What is your signature scent?

I don't have one. But I always go to Aquolina Pink Sugar when ever I'm in a bind on what to wear. It's me. I guess that's a signature!!!!

What was your biggest fashion mistake?

I think my worse dressing period was after I had my children and I had lost about 25 lbs while pregnant and then gained like 40 lbs in a matter of months after they were born. So I was trying to squeeze my ass in stuff I wore before I had kids, most of it baby tees and low rise jeans. I looked a mess. But then I went through this period where I wanted this certain "person" to notice me, so I tried dressing to catch his attention, like a hoochie and didn't work. I'll NEVA do that again!!!! No, sir, never dress for a man AGAIN. After I came out of that, I looked like a nun, I went through a serious depression. But it's interesting...now I like the way I look, chic and casual, just me and comfortable:)

What item(s) do you never travel without?

I travel every day to work about 30mins so...I need my cellphone, handbag, money. But real traveling...I already have my toiletry bag pre-packed and ready. D.Shannan taught me that. And travel candles.

What was the last film you saw?

At the movies? Why Did I Get Married? On TV? Poetic Justice on one of the those HBOs.I had forget what it was about.

What beauty products do you swear by?

No particular brand because it could change tomorrow. But I must have:

Mascara

eyebrow pencil

lip gloss

What is on your iPod?

I don't have one. I have a Creative Nano. I got alot of Maysa and Incognito on it. Some old Mary J,Tamia,Dreamgirls Soundtrack,T.I.... alot of stuff

What was the last item of clothing you bought?

Oh...I went to the Hillcrest Goodwill and racked up. I got Aeropostale l/s tees, Gap sweater, Ann Taylor cardigan, some "work" pants....whole lot of stuff.

Where do you buy your lingerie?

What bras and panties? Places like Cato and It's Fashion where they sell big girl underwear at a reasonable price.

Which shop(s) couldn't you live without?

Target,Starbucks...:) but I do.
