Just another Sunday morning

Had a good morning.  Brought the dogs to the dog park with neighbor, Kim and her dog Duke.  See pictures... Have lots of cleaning and organizing to do still today and Kim and Jessica will be over tonight for a little group yoga. Fun!  trying to get into healthy habits/schedules...  

Thinking of my Sistas...

Miss Celie's Blues
by Quincy Jones

Sistah,
you've been on my mind
My sistah, we're two of a kind
So sister,
I'm keepin' my eyes on you

I betcha think
I don't know nothin'
But singin' the blues
Oh sister, have I got news for you
I´m somethin'
I hope you think that you´re somethin' too

Oh, Scufflin',
I been up that lonesome road
And I seen a lot of suns goin' down
Oh, but trust me
No low life's gonna run me around

So let me tell you somethin' sister
Remember your name
No twister,
gon' steal your stuff away
My sister
We sho' ain't got a whole lot of time

So go shake your shimmy, Sistah
'Cause honey the 'shug
is feelin' fiiiiiiine.

Love you my sisters. Erin, Lisa, Taya, Fran, Heidi, Rae, Lynn, Shelly, Robbyn, Marnie, Jacque, Nicole, Tatiana and my new sisters Darla, Venita and Jessica. 

Lady's Night, Oh What a Night!

There are nights I remember in my life where laughter wasn't only present, it prevailed.  These are some of my favorite times, and this was what happened last night.

Jessica picked me up and we cruised over to Flying Biscuit in Ballyntine to meet up with Venita.  Jessica had never been there before (it was only my second time), and was introduced to their famous grits.  Mmmmmm-good!

We ordered way too much food and sat discussing all matter of subject for the next 4 hours while it digested and we picked.  

It was decided that we would move on from there to a fabulous dessert cafe relatively close.  I wish I had taken pictures of the confections we picked out, and promptly devoured - they were little sugar pieces of art.  It was at this place that we devised our plans for a girl-pop star group we would form along the lines of Destiny's Child.  Of course we had to decide who's mother would be our "band designer"... 

Next on the agenda was deciding our signature "moves".  Thought of Lis for her lip-biting boogie, and Taya for her ability to get low on the flo'... Lynn for her techno stylings, and Heidi for her "arms up" move.  In the end, my signature move was, of course, the "uh oh".  

Great 4th Celebration

Celebrated the fourth with my new bud Darla, and her family (pictured right).  They rock the casbah!  Saw some mini-sized fireworks, and enjoyed a meal with new friends... More later!
