My Exciting Weekend

Actually, not really. Before I headed to the holiday party my friend Anna hosted, I took a nap on the couch. There's nothing like a good slumber on your couch while the TV watches you. I was exhausted after shopping at Home Depot and figuring out how to put together the set for my show.



On Friday night, the Fiance rented "The Women" which is seriously one of the best movies I've seen this year. It covers all the relationships we have as women - mother, daughter, wife and friend. If you haven't seen it, I suggest picking it up and watching it with your closest girlfriends or your mother/daughter. It'll put all the relationships you have in total perspective.

Also, Annette Bening (who stars in the film) has some of the best one liners I've heard in the movie. Be sure to listen carefully...

Holiday Party

Last night, I went to my friend Anna's holiday party where all the girls had a gift exchange. Actually, it was a white elephant gift exchange. I ended up getting a cute Christmas shirt, which is awesome because I seriously have no Christmas gear in my closet (or my house apparently.) I gave away a cute jewelry box with some Lindt truffles inside. It was cute.

Anyways, above are the lovely Racheal, myself and the fabulous Nicole. Everyone looked so cute and we chatted the night away until 2:30am.

Good times!

My Weekend

I apologize people for the lack of the blogging Friday thru Monday. I sorta had a hectic weekend. Between work and writing I couldn't bring myself to blog.

As a random tidbit because I had it on Friday morning...nothing starts your day off like a chicken biscuit from Chik-Fil-A and some good ole OJ.


After working all day Friday, I had an interview with Kameron Corvet, an Atlanta based artist who was playing at Grape in Atlantic Station. He was great and mean on the guitar. My favorite songs are "Spelman Girl" and "Kiss and Make Up" (from his upcoming album Korporate Rockstar.) For more on Kameron check out his myspace...


It was pretty funny while I was interviewing Kameron because we got interrupted like 3 times. Apparently, I don't look important enough to interview someone. Because this picture was definitely during my interview. But I get it. They really wanted their autograph...

Then I worked Saturday...and apparently wasted the rest of the day now that I think about it.
(UPDATE: As it turns out, I did blog this weekend. Oops...I completely lost track.)

Sunday I had the day off and went to the boyfriend's parents' house. Next up, I saw the play 'For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf' at the 14th Street Playhouse. It was PHENOMENAL! Jasmine Guy directed it and it was truly an inspirational piece that revealed the untold story of women of color. I wrote an article on the play being the directorial debut of Ms. Guy for Savoy Professional magazine which will officially make that my first published article.


Tired? Yes, but it was all worth it and this is the face I ended the weekend with.

The Weekend

This weekend was kind of full. I worked Friday thru Sunday and had a full agenda on my plate.

First, Friday was my cousin Jennifer’s birthday so we headed to Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro with some friends and family. I usually get the big plate of fried shrimp but I switched it up and got the salmon instead.


Absolutely delish! It was good times…aside from Jennifer being my cousin she’s one of my closest friends and I had a ball laughing and reminiscing with her.


On Saturday, I worked all day and then had to go grocery shopping. I was also supposed to clean but I failed miserably at that once I fell asleep on the couch. At work though, a lady by the name of Ms. Turner came in looking for a pair shoes. She had just found out earlier that day that she would be speaking at her church for women’s day and needed some shoes to match her hat. Seriously, this hat turned my life upside down! It was fabulous and made Ms. Turner one of my favorite people ever! Black people…I love us!


Next, I was on my way to the good ole job again on Sunday. Afterwards, I met some friends and co workers at Geisha House in Atlantic Station – where apparently I spent my entire weekend. Unfortunately, our server sucked and after an hour and a half I still hadn’t been served my food.

Dah, well. I still had a good time with the gals and headed home for some spaghetti. Yum!
