Let me get my one real criticism of this film out of the way. Ok. The romance. I didnt need any romance in this film. I would have been happy if the romance had been left out altogether and left for ...
I ran across this online today. Its a popular Venezuelan song asking the painter why he only paints white angels. It is very powerful in English. Beautiful performance too. "Painter, if you...
My house is so quiet right now. Its cold and wet outside and my son went down for his nap late, but like a rock. I just finished a major thing on my to-do list and am standing here (yes, standing...a...
Isnt she lovely? My dreams of becoming a domestic bakerist goddess are within my grasp. My husband, who is from the Caribbean, eats bananas in large quantities. I always buy too many on my tri...
Happy Valentines Day!
My local radio station is playing Whitney Houstons songs in heavy rotation today. I am happy that she shared her gift with us while she as here. My heart is heavy for her daughter and for everyone wh...
I went to a dance last night with my husband and a few friends. It was a scholarship fundraiser hosted by the sorority Delta Sigma Theta. My husband and I were the first of our group to arrive...
As I mentioned before, I am posting all the photos from Fat Mum Slims February Photo A Day Challenge on Tumblr. I could not resist sharing this one here. I took my son out for brunch at Magnol...
*I posted this on January 31, because I thought it was February 1. I lose track of dates. Thats just what I do. But the same photo would apply on Feb. 1. Im standing right there, most days. Right now...
It was a great night for The Help at the 2012 SAG Awards. But how great was the night for the future of black actors in film?
I need my son to learn how to put a jacket on by himself and put it on a hanger. He goes to a Montessori school, so they demand early independence in children. Everything in the classroom, including ...
A few days ago, we—by "we" I mean my dear husband— left an eye burning on our stove. This caused the stove to shut-off. Awesome safety feature, right? However, after following all th...
Ive been blogging since 2005. Over the years my blog has taken on many forms and the content has changed in waves, but one thing has not changed...I am a constant goof and crazy things happen ...
Where ever you are today (well, not today-today, because we all come together for rallies and marches and speeches today, but I mean on a regular "today"), look around and there is a pretty g...
Heres the latest video blog from GirlDidYouSee. My best friend and react to the Season 5 Premiere Episode of The Game. We are huge fans of the show, but the show has changed in so many ways, and none...
I dont hit my kid. I have been told that I talk to my son too much and dont beat him enough. My response is usually something like, "Were humans, so I prefer to talk. If I was a lion, Id b...
I think this is an appropriate first Homegirl post of 2012. The fact that our Christmas tree and stockings and house lights and yard ornaments are still up kind of represents my general outlook on th...
Call me a grinch, but I dont want my son to believe in Santa. It is a waste of time, and feels like a terrible, drawn out practical joke. One day, he will find out that it was all a lie and what good...
As many of you know, I ran my first 5k this year. It was with Austin Komen Race For The Cure. If you read my race report, you know that at one point during the race, I was almost overcome with emotio...
