Sassy Black Friend

There’s no stopping me

For reals. Little Mama (the artist formerly known as Little Sister) is having her first (of two) baby showers this weekend. This one is just for friends etc. in the DC area. She’ll do another at home next month. As co-hostess and party starter, I was charged with buying the funny shirts, decorations, and planning the menu.

The best part? I got to plan a menu I don’t have to cook. My other co-hostess insisted on having the party catered. So I spent hours looking at pretty sounding food and didn’t have to even go inside a kitchen. Everyone wins!

Hate on me haters…

Yeah, this is where I spent the last week.

What’s another word for exhausted

Man oh man, am I tired. This month has been a real marathon and there’s more to go. I’ve canceled our Memorial Day weekend plans so the boyfriend and I can just veg out at home for a few days. Right now the plan is to turn off the phones and close the drapes. We won’t do anything more strenuous than order chinese.

Sounds like heaven. You know how people are always complaining that kids today never go outside? Like they spend 24/7 on Playstation and cell phones? Sign me up for some of that. Less go there and get things done, more click here to complete this task.

I’m supposed to be going to the grocery store right now, but my butt refuses to move off the sofa. Dog and cat are in agreement, we will not be moved.

While we wait

While we’re waiting for the Apocalypse to begin (staying close to doorways), Paul and I are spending our last moments thusly:

Also, I just found out the actual end of the world isn’t until October. Today is just the beginning of the end. Have maxed out credit cards for nothing : (

“This oughta be good…”

Amen, car pool Brother.

This guy seems especially mad that “Polynesians don’t have a BET.”

For the record, you can have ours. Please.

Back to the voice of reason:

“Some things are better left unsaid rather than having people realize really what an idiot you are.”

Preach.

Warning: Please do not read the comments on YouTube. Just trust me.

Bathroom armageddon

It’s clear that the boyfriend and I have been together too long. We had a twenty minute argument this morning about the shower curtains we’ve been talking about buying. The idea was to get a matched set so both of the bathrooms have the same colors and design. But he’s decided the upstairs should be different (complete with plans to paint), so the curtains won’t work.

In the end we decided to keep the ones we ordered. The dog ate half the last one, so even if we only use it for one bathroom it’ll need replacing eventually.

And yes, I realize that’s a stupid thing to fight about. But we’re lacking in serious relationship issues so this is all we’ve got. And do’t worry, we got over it quickly. Next fight will likely be about packing up the car tomorrow morning. Ah, love.
