Today’s CHOCOLATE JAM is “Standing Room Only” by Dee Lucas. Great cd for Valentine’s Day. Or to make any evening Valentine’s Day. ;o)
Panera bread’s blueberry bagels are s beast.
Morning.
S= a
G’morning. I didn’t accomplish ANYTHING yesterday when I went home early. I literally sat on facebook ALL day/evening. My dvr is full and I didn’t even watch my shows!
OJ – my fav bagel from Panera is the dutch apple bagle. There’s a Panera like 3 minutes from my house and I stop there sometimes and I always get 2. That’s just greedy.
Lovely I was greedy this morning. I’ve never had the one you speak if but this bagel is do good I eat it plain. No butter or cream cheese is added.
Oh, I never get the spreads. I eat mine plain and love every bite of it
I brought a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch today and I’m eyeballing it and TRYING not to eat it right now. I went to the cafeteria and something didn’t smell right so I don’t want breakfast from down there today.
When you’re in the right mood, there is nothing better than PB&J!
Morning fam! Lovely…glad to see you made it in safely!
Hi Letmein! Yep, my 12 minute drive only took 25 minutes. I’m pretty happy about that! Are you at home or at work? Either way, I’m glad you’re safe!! One of my friends was involved in a terrible accident last night on her way home from work. She was stuck on 71 for 5 hours dealing with it AND, she had just gotten a new Acura because of her LAST car accident.
Awww dayum!!! Well my Hooptie Supreme Plus wouldn’t even start when I tried to leave work EARLY yesterday. I hitched a ride with a coworker last night and this morning. I was in my feelings at first but I’m over it. Hopefully hubby will get here and get my ride started today. The chick I’m riding with is a rebel! She was smoking those Kools and hauling ass last night and this morning! LOL!
Letmein – that just made me laugh! Do you smoke? I would have had to ask her to not smoke in HER car!
I got the image of the school lunch lady smoking cigarettes! 
Lovely….naw I don’t smoke! LOL!! It didn’t bother me too much last night but it did this morning. I hate smelling like smoke when I’m fresh out the shower! Dammit I’ve fallen asleep TWICE! This will be the longest day EVER!
Letmein – I nodded off too! They ordered pizza for us since nobody is here. Bet you $5 I go to sleep after I eat!! It’s sooooooooooo quiet in here. I have my co-worker’s heater turned on high and I’m chilling!!
and yeah, Cigarette Cynthia would have had to crack a window in HER car.
I hope Mr Letmein gets your car started so you don’t have to ride in those conditions again this evening. That was really sweet of her to give you a ride though; I can’t think of any co-workers I want all up in my auto-mo-bile.
Morning Fam. Strawberry Letter –>
“I’m a 23-year-old single mom. I have an amazing 8-year-old son. I work full time. I have my own place. I drive my own car, pay my own bills, yet I feel incomplete. I’ve been dating this guy for one and a half years, off and on — off and on because he claims he’s afraid of me because he thinks I have a lot of game and I wouldn’t have his back. Now he’s 40-years-old so I know he has game. Steve, I’m five-foot-three, 146 lbs with chocolate beautiful skin (The long or short of it is I’m gorgeous!) and I keep it real while still being a lady of course. Why wouldn’t he want me?! I love this man more than I can put into words and I express my feelings all the time. Steve and Shirley, I’m a good woman. I don’t know the first thing about sports but I would watch the games with him and ask questions to better understand it, and I would even root for his team. I would go to his place and cook and clean and give him back rubs after a long day’s work. What could I be doing wrong?”
SB – that girl sounds young & dumb. If she thinks watching sports qualifies her as a good woman, she’s got a LOT to learn.
He’s 17 years older than her… he just wants to ‘hit it’… 40 year old men should be past the game playing stage and they should be pretty settled. I’m almost positive he’s just using her for spooge.
These Strawberry Letters…I just can’t.
Jazz, I saw your comment up there about the PB & J — I only have 2 bites left. This is the best thing in the world right now, it’s soooooooooo good! And I brought Pringles to go along with my little kindegarten sandwich. I’m in heaven!
(still gonna eat pizza when it gets here, too!)
lol @ Ylawd. Right @ Love….shoot I read the first few lines of the letter and coulda swore she was quoting a trill fam song “I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T. do you know what that mean mane?” smdh
random: at the end of Lloyd’s song “Lay It Down” is that ninja yodellin?!? That fella be doing way too much before he ends that track sheesh…
How are things going for you and New Boo? When is the wedding?
I cant not remember who posted that conspiracy link on MLK’s death but THANK YOU. So informative & thought provoking…I stayed up til one that night watching that whole series. It literally made me get goose bumps thinkin about how so called people close to MLK could turn on him, gov’t spying on him etc…smh just some really interesting info to know…thanks again
LOL @
Sheeiiiddd
That made my day! You’re friggin hilarious! I’m glad you’re doing right by her though… that’s an accomplishment and you should be proud.
No doubt Lovely!!!
Lovely…I was thinking about making me a PB&J sammich to bring to work. Homegirl said she wasn’t leaving her house until 7 so hubby and I thought we could spooge a lil’ while longer. Um, her ass calls at 6:30 asking was I ready. There went sammich makin’. I’m hungry! Guess I’ll walk over to Subway in a minute.
Speaking of spooge. I’ve learned 3 new things since I’ve entered my 40′s. I LOVE f’ing and could f morning, noon and night. Having too many BIG O’s can make your insides hurt
and I’ve lost my balls. I cry about EVERYDAMNTHING!!! I sat in my cold car for about 40 minutes in tears yesterday because it wouldn’t start. I’ve been crying about TV shows that I’ve seen a gazillion times. #emotionalrollercoaster
A friend just posted on fb that she asked one of her students to use “rapid” in a sentence and the kid said “the gifts were all rapid under the tree at Christmas”.
I died!
Major Fail Lovely! LOL!
Letmein!!! Are you going through menopause? Aren’t you too young for that?
You cried in the cold for 45 minutes? You need to start carrying a flask with you for emergencies like that.
Lovely…I don’t know what’s going on with me, but it’s crazy as hell! Hubby told me the next time I call myself being bad azz he’s going to remind me of how much I cry now. I wanted to sock him in the nuts about that one! LOL!
But you didn’t because you love those nuts!!
lmao Im too thu…yes thew at that FB status…im off to lunch…what yall having?
sobro…bring me something, anything!!!!
YES LOVELY LOOOOVVEEE THOSE NUTS!!!
I guess I could have socked him in the nuts and then kissed them to make them feel better!
lol@Lovely. First the “flaming young”, now the “rapid” gifts.
LOL @ Jacque!! Right!
SB – please bring me some Utz original chips and an ice cold Cherry Coke.
Please and thank you!
LETMEIN – I “heard” kissing them makes a ninja happy and makes him do all kinds of stuff he hadn’t necessarily ‘planned’ to do.
Jacque – I can’t make this stuff up. FB is the devil and fb friends are his henchmen!!
I weep for our future.
Weep AND sip something… I just asked what grade she teaches but no one has answered yet.
*passes love her package* *passes letme a napkin for them nuts she bout to snack on
* lol
Thank you kindly!
Speaking of nuts, we almost broke the doggone coffee table the other night. The poor baby said he was too tired to come over last night (plus it was snowing like crazy and he didn’t want to have to leave his car out in the mini-blizzard). I like when it’s so good you don’t care what you F up.
Whassup fam!!! Let>>I am very hormonal and I am at the tip of the iceberg and I know it. Secks drive is through the roof and ish that I would not normally say, I say and I can not tolerate fools and haters! I expect to loose some friends….
PHilly, tell em how you really feel!
Just read the story about the girl who was kidnapped 23 years ago and was just reunited with her family. My heart is FULL for them! I can’t imagine anyone in my family just disappearing… I’m glad it had a happy ending.
Does anyone know what’s up with the family that raised her? I want them to give more details on this story… was she raised in a healthy environment? Is she well-balanced? What’s going to happen to the kidnappers?
I read that she wasn’t well treated where she was raised. Made me even madder.
Then those people need to be beat with bats.
Girlfriend musta been sitting around the table with them one day and was like “I KNOW I ain’t related to nan one of these mofos!!!”
Happy Birthday ?uestlove. He always looks so secksy behind those drums and then he stands up… Weebles might wobble but they don’t fall down… O_O
So the 2 beitches that came in 2 hours late today because of the weather have time to go to the damn bakery for an hour in the afternoon!?!
In what universe are non-coloreds NOT thinking they own the world and can do whatever they want whenever they want?
I remember seeing the mother on something fairly recent. It was either her or another black mother with a missing child.
Its just sad all the way around…
Letmein… multiples Os hurt— no matter the age. Very painful. But Imma need you to start manning up and stop cryin all the time! LOL
THIS —> “In what universe are non-coloreds NOT thinking they own the world and can do whatever they want whenever they want?” SO true love….
LHM – that dude has man hips!!! I don’t like a man with hips wider than mine
I’m multi-orgasmic… it doesn’t necessarily hurt, it just drains me and makes me feel dumb. Like I literally have no control and I can’t remember how to breathe and it just takes over my entire being… I really believe I temporarily go blind… it just takes ALL your energy and I don’t feel like going on.
SB – it’s SUCH bs… I turned around and said “soooo, you two just own ___ Bank, right?” and the tall one that showers with her kid said “don’t be jealous” and walked off. I wanted to throw a stapler at her damn head.
Philly….that’s it exactly!!! I know the expressions on my face tell it all and I’m less tolerable of the hodge podge bullish that goes on around here at the job!
Nights like this I wish…that raindrops would faaaallll…
LHM….how can something that feels SOOO GOOD, hurt so bad afterwards?! It literally felt like someone was in there beating on my ovaries and uterus like a drum. But I be damn if I didn’t go right back at it the next morning, sore bakers oven and all! Oh and I do man up when it’s time to cuss someone out….then I cry afterwards.
I really was like WTF when I cried watching the Five Heartbeats over the weekend. WTH?!?!? I know that movie word for word and never recall crying about it before. I cried like I lost my best friend at the end when they all got together and was dancing/singing at the picnic. Oh and I cried when Eddie Kane was singing in the church.
I’m out… I forgot to take a lunch break today so I’m leaving now and going to my daddy’s. F this place.
Peace!
I didn’t ‘forget’ to take a lunch, I actually took 2 breaks to eat… neither of them was OFFICIAL lunch though.
Regardless, I’m out!
Be careful Lovely!!!
