assorted V-Day candy

My Valentine's Day involved strawberries and hot wax! Meow!

Truth be told, J and I had our second parent-child art class this morning and today's subject was batik. We had to use hot wax to create the designs and the strawberries came from the free granola bars that the visual arts center supplied.

Normally, I abbreviate Valentine's Day with V-Day, which confuses me b/c I often associate V-Day with the day that I get a pap smear.

I'm finally at 80%, I'd say. I was mostly concerned that J wouldn't catch whatever-I-had, b/c he doesn't seem to realize that the unbilical cord was cut 7 years ago.

So speaking of health...imagine, if you will, that your doctor diagnoses you with something that's not deadly, but may present some challenges. Now imagine that the doctor comes back and says, "my bad...you don't have that." Would you be pissed? Maybe I neglected to mention that this diagnosis was a year old and this madness was one of the reasons that I was in counselling. I'm sure that all of the spiritual headhunters would say that I should feel blessed...and I do. But God knows that I'm mad about it too. I'll get over it.

Needless to say, I'm getting a new doctor.

2nd grade homework is HARD!

I got my taxes!!! And now I shall proceed to be 'hood rich! Translation: I just beefed up my e-fund and started my travel fund.

J had his baseball assessments today. After 2 years of tee-ball, he has upgraded to rookie status. I can't wait for the season to start. Kids in cleats are funny. Rephrase: Kids in cleats practicing slides into home plate without one SINGLE threat of NOT scoring are funny.

And this is all I'm going to say about Chr.is Brown and Riha.nna. I think that its sad that CB has yet to be formally charged with battery but people have already convicted him. No matter what the outcome, it seems to be a lose-lose situation for him and I hate that this has been sensationalized to the degree that it has.

I lied...and another thing...I'm amazed as to how ok some people are with a woman hitting a man. After reading sentence after sentence of, "I don't care if she insert physical assault here, he STILL should've blah blah blah," I had to walk away from my computer. In the end, if Ri.hanna put her hands on CB, I wanna see some consequences...some charges....and some loss of endorsements too. It is not cute and its NEVER OK...I don't give a damn who's doing it! Restraint separates humans from animals.

And I already feel as if I gave that nonsense too much of my energy.

Bruh-coworker found a job! Yay for him!

Goth Girl bought me a Prince ALBUM...ya'll remember what those are, right? Well, it's a single...back when he was with the Revolution. I can't play it, but I love looking at him on the cover, posing just as a pretty as he'll ever be.

I started writing in a group blog about the recession with some guys from back home. I do believe in self-promotion; however, I'm tracking my consistency for the time being. So far, so good, so maybe later.

To my knowledge, none of them know that I have a blog and I'd like to keep the 2 separate.

I cannot STAND Ne.yo, but he seems to have bought out the radio stations.

I am sweet as sugar, but when I'm sick, I am pissy. I got tired of my coworker's sh*t and sent him a "nice" email Friday afternoon...cuz again, his a$$ wasn't at work. I expect some fallout next week, but I'm tired of being stressed...let the chips fall where they may.

I hope that ya'll spent the day with the one(s) that you love. I know I did.
