SNAKES IN THE CAR!!--not really just one snake, relapse in sickness and its almost time for finals.



This past week have been interesting   First, my bronchitis flared up and was out of a couple of days. no bueno!  I'll be a monkey's uncle when a damn snake scooted his ass into my car. Yes, a snake.

As the story unfolds........
You asshole!

A nice cool front came in Wednesday night. That Thursday morning, my daughter had an orthodontic appointment. The weather was humid but about rain. I kid you not that stupid snake wasn't there on the foot rest at my door. If I would have seen him, that sucka would have been knocked out and crushed to death with a gardening hoe.  So the sunvabitch (you can still feel the emotion) rode for 30 plus miles from our house to Tyler. Stopping by McNasty for breakfast, I warn my daughter not to eat but to drink her orange juice. Making to the destination, she jumps out and I still eating my McNasty sausage & biscuit, taking a puff before going in. As I swung the door open WIDE with my coffee in my hand, BAM this damn fool. Millions of screams and the nice smelling cup of McDonalds java (I properly addressed them because they do have good coffee) goes SPLASH all over parking lot. Now you are wondering how come she didn't kick the damn thing out? First, I had on flip flops, second, I do not know the origin of this animal poisonous or non and last HOW IN THE HELL DID HE GET IN HERE??? that's the question I want to know.

Which I did some Scooby Doo investigating.

Dancing in the parking lot, screaming "Snake in my car!" a dad came to see what the problem. I told him and  he seen the snake moving about under my front seat. WOW, he said. Good Luck and call the animal control.  The employees was wondering why is someone screaming outside. And I've embarrassed my daughter, to her knowledge what the hell is wrong with my mother? In my panic mode, "There's a snake in my car." mouths dropped.  Using the phone and the damn animal control cannot do the job because they only fool with dogs. Eye roll.  Then on to the exterminator.  I found one, sigh.....Dennis. Took Dennis 20 years to arrive at the office. During the 30 minutes of waiting for Dennis, one of the assistant's came out and tried her best to get  him out. She's country strong, tis I am not! I'm country but not that country strong. A bug, dead under my shoe, scorpion murq'd in seconds. Any arachnid, bugs even lizards no problem. A snake, shiieettt you better for--ggeetttt..  Mr. Dennis came, looking very unsure which fit his description over the phone, unsure in person and looking like a big ol stand up in the road (that means you're slow/dumb.)  Sigh...again over and over.  The weather turned cold and rainy, the snake have made a place in my car now keeping warm.  After a 10-15 minute look through, he can't find him.  I said thanks and he didn't charge me for the visit. I have smoked at least 4 cigarettes this time, building my nerves and contributing to my relapse in bronchitis.  The ride back, another 30+ miles and dropping my daughter off to school was a white knuckle ride of us having our feet in the seat, only my right leg to gas and break, no stops to the gas station and just ready to jump the hell out of the Jeep. I wouldn't care if the damn thing came out we had our window down to jump out.  This shows how serious we are about snakes in the country, especially when it in an enclosed vehicle. Almost cussed her out when she said "Mom what if he's in the ceiling?" Gurlll do not play with me! There's a nice rip in the ceiling, I hate cloth ceilings and the possibilities are stranger than the truth.  Dropping her off at school, I zzzooommmmeeddd on to the house and stayed in my house until after 2 p.m. Build up the courage to drive to work and proceed with the cleaning with Mr. Connie (mayne, I wish he was 40 years younger) and Richey. No avail, we didn't see him but my car was cleaned. hehehe.  Now my car smells like moth balls, don't care I do not like snakes. "Tired of these m**f**n snakes in the car!" LOL.

Back to the investigation.  I parked under a tree at school because it was hot and needed shade and to change up where I usually park at. This the only explanation to this rare opportunity of Mr. Snake to make a jump into my Jeep somewhere in the back. I parked in this location on Wednesday and seen his butt on Thursday. Hmmm now I'm wondering why this person kept honking at me on the street when driving out of the city limits, hitting the main highway. Either to warn me about "something" entering in my vehicle or that eating my ice cream sundae so sexy without the intention of doing that capture his interest? Who knows?
I had fun with our honking session.

Been sick for the past 2 weeks with bronchitis. The relapse was this weekend. Friday night of coughing, farting and all kinds of sexiness to me. Saturday, felt a little bit better but the shortness of breath and finding it difficult to breathe. Had a nice day at work but wondering why I'm tired so quickly. My feet hurt and hit the local nail shop for some R&R on my toes.  Much needed and getting that crazy in grown toe nail that keeps bothering me over and over.  Came home and nothing but crazy coughing and struggling to breathe. Headed to bed and over the night, I have taken my meds, broke out with my son's nebulizer, many trips to the bathroom and finally told my dad to take me to the hospital.  Sleeping off and on, too weak to get up and get ready so I slept (tried) until mid-afternoon. Took my time to get ready, packed an over night bag just in case (learned from my son being sick) and Dad took me to the hospital and was in there for almost four hours.  The doctor was pretty nice and of course the smoking lecture from one but he had to throw in how cute I am and so young looking for my age. Then he was off his shift and another one came in, gave me a prescription and a slightly different angle on smoking with one of those fake cigarettes and how I can wean myself off the nasty ones and to complete off smoking for good. Told me how he smoked for 40 years and I was like "wow dude, you look completely nice looking, meaning he was at least 60 something" even his teeth didn't look ragged out. I put on a smile, batted my eyelashes and a cute country flirt "I gotta take care of my tender lungs." He grinned from ear to ear with that one. Can't help it that I'm cute, even in my crappy condition still a  cutie pie. LOL.. <---yes, he said I am cute too.
Plenty of popsicles, which the kids are crying why they can't have any, water, soups and I cheated with some eggs and bacon tonight. Still clear liquids, hydrate my body and plenty of rest.  Shot off emails to my instructors, finishing up homework and getting ready for finals next month. Two weeks ahead and I gotta get on my A game to pass these classes. Striving for A's on my finals, my grades aren't bad. Just want a better GPA for being a sophomore there.  Plenty of happy since I missed my 3rd exam the other week for being sick that Dr. Davis told me I can take it during finals and count as a regular grade. Thank you dude! He doesn't play with policy and very cut and dry.

Depeche Mode's Delta Machine isn't that bad.  Not bad from the bad boys of the electro-synth new wave 80's.  Soothe My Soul, pretty damn sexy and I wish Dave Gahan come in and break down my door. Make you wanna do a secci dance with a special someone. hahaha
I'm coming to see ya in Sept. 20th, can't wait to see Gahan do his magical elf dancing.  He's totally mesmerizing to watch when performing. And taking my daughter too. Now this going to be interesting!!!

Peace & Blessings!

Missing reel: The supposed bachelorette party that didn't happened only to run into pancake & wine dude and Danny Tanner's dancing cousin.




Just in the missing reel of March 23rd, 2013.

8:18 p.m. Left the house driving to Tyler en route to The Electric Cowboy.
9:01 p.m. Drove into the parking lot to see The Electric Cowboy close, only to find out the next day the club moved to a new location. Must eat and drink at Fat Katz for some lovely Cajun-Louisiana vittels.
10:00 p.m. Drove to Rick's on the Square, letting out a long sigh and crossing my fingers to have a decent night after finding out the club is closed and didn't get the girl's number.

Okay, hahahha had to put that in there.  Yeah, I was invited to a bachelorette party that night and come to find out the club was closed.  Had a drink & delicious calamari and ready to bounce to wherever my trust Jeep takes me. Betsie, my Jeep is pretty tired and she will retire in  few months. Hang in there girl! We have another six weeks to go with classes.

Rick's on the Square is this place downtown with live music and a mixed crowd. I haven't had the best experiences there, third time the charm.  Bought a beer, looked around which by the way cute as a bug in a rug and off to view the cover band that played from the 70's to current music.  Ehhh few people on the floor but the music wasn't pumping enough for me to jet out there.  Now I'm getting bored.
Nelly's "Getting Hot" was belted out. My eyes rolled because" it was getting boring in heerrree, so leave your clothes on" as I said and posted on Facebook. Until someone tapped me on my shoulder and this lady introduced herself and asked if want to dance with her cousin. First, I was like "ummm okay" then I said "what the hell, shit I'll get out there."
Are we still in jr high? Do we still pass those notes: Would you like to go out with me? Circle yes or no.
Some are still doing the note passing shit but in a different way.

So he introduced himself to me *shy* shrugs again and proceeded.  Danny Tanner's cousin was tha bomb, dancing that is!! LOL.. If you remember Full House and Bob Saget's character Danny Tanner danced a time or two on a episode then you know what I'm saying.  He didn't give a damn about who,what and why he had crazy rhythm less moves but I liked this guy's style. He did this thang.. DID HIS THANNNGGG!!!!
Totally digged it.

But oh, you can't forget drunk middle age chubby white lady that's celebrating a birthday or wanted to have a girls night out.  In her mind, she tearing up the dance floor, flirting with the cute singer, grabbing his fedora and placing on her head doing that drunk un-sexy dance.  The cute singer was very annoyed by her constant drunkness, snatching his hat like she was tha S-H-I-T! So he took back his hat for the umpteenth time and placed it on the bass player's head. And he was pretty far away from the edge of the stage too.  Drunk lady didn't like it when he came down and danced with me. Cool beans my friend!

After gundam style, accidently stepping on a girl's foot and my side swoop bangs drawing up into a fro Danny Tanner's cousin and I went back to our post and had a brief chat.  He asked me for my number and told me how much he loves to dance (very obvious) and like to go dancing with me soon. Pimpsters!! LOL.. No kids, single and 42 years old. Hmmm either he puts coochie on a pedestal (remember The 40 year old Virgin) or extremely picky.  Good thing to vet (read) how when you meet people.  During that time of me shaking my booty (not too much) on the dance floor and doing those simple snap finger 80's dance moves what ya mom use to do on a Saturday morning cleaning the house, pancake & wine dude was checking me out.

You will know why I gave him that name.

And why in the hell did the black people that was there started to dance after I got out there??? Knee deep into four songs and all of a sudden this hobbit looking bw barefooted was trying her best to break it down. I smiled at her and yep the heffa mean mugged me. I guess she felt I was taking her "peoples" away with my friendly smile and fun attitude.
I guess I made it "cool" to dance to a cover band.. Go figure.

Signing the tab at the bar, (before his name) a guy who was out there on the floor boogin' was checking me out also. He looked very familiar from an online dating site. He asked if I was getting another drink, I said "no, just signing out my tab." then he replied, "Pfft (jokingly) get behind me, you don't need nothing." So a friendly conversation sparked up until he said this: I want some pancakes and wine!

(scratches head)

Usually the night goes with getting pancakes at IHOP or Denny's (prefer IHOP) just to chill and get to know
IS this possible????
each other safely in another public environment. I have done this before and pretty fun. But something was amassed  He wasn't talking about IHOP, he was talking about making some at his house.  I ignored the wine but the pancakes was a go go, but not at his house is a no no. I let him letting do the talking for twenty minutes, which he hung himself twice, one for asking me openly sexual questions and two telling me that I need an orgasm to relax.
One big ol' turn off with the rest; kept repeating about six times "I'm not a weirdo."
Really? Could have fooled me!
Sorry when you keep repeating anything that's off balance and trying to convince a person that you're not, hate to break it to ya, you are. You thank you slick but you can stand another greasin'! Ain't gonna be me either!!
Oh yeah and he tried to kiss me.

Hold up Chuck! Don't know you like that and I got a damn paper to do!!!
In his white boy drunkness, his shit didn't stand up to the flagpole waving the Texas and United States flags. I see why he's been divorce for five years, wishy washy and totally lame.
The wishy washy part is when he contacted me first online about meeting me and then hands out his number and conversation. Then wrote me back (thanks for the heads up) where he told me briefly that he's in a dating off and on relationship. Doesn't add up when you contact me, then all of a sudden you're back with the same lady that you've been so confused about a whole year?? That's why he's lame and laughed at his indecisivness. Okay, stranger danger! LOL
http://blackwomenwithotherbrothers.blogspot.com/2012/12/n-and-swirling-do-you-use-it-in-front.html
He did say the most off colored comment: "You look for random white men to talk to?" in rapid fire, I shot back "As you being a random white man, you opened your yap first not me, I was leaving the damn place."--that's not attitude that's being truth-a-tude.
* He did give me his number before the true assery came out and was deleted when I got into my car*

So in my lady like essence, I bounced AWWWAAYYY and left in a fury. There's a county jail about a few feet from where we was standing there talking (which he did the most) so yeah, sistah was in high alert, well lit area and phone ready in hand just in case, he started to act like a jerk.

Danny Tanner's cousin didn't call either and that's fine. He looks to be one of those guys who puts coochie on a pedestal. And probably looking for me to call him soon. No. You call, leave a message and I'll get back to you soon as I can. My voice mail works fine and dandy. I may not pick up due to the pine trees blocking service but doggone a text or message works just as great. So easy and simple.
FYI: I don't chase men, ain't nobody got time for that.-before the Sweet Brown craze.

About the bachelorette party??  Didn't go down because the club moved to another location and the bride and bride's sister was looking all over town for the damn place.  They rescheduled this coming weekend. I may, may not make it since I have to work but a nice gift card is pretty tempting to buy for the future couple.

The night wasn't a complete lost but I had fun dancing with Danny Tanner's cousin, meeting a guy that I made up a funny name, didn't take an interest (face to face) and Rick's on the Square isn't that bad. Just catch the right band and feel the flow!

In my conclusion, there are over million of men in the whole globe and those two didn't put a damper in my step and I only want one. Be careful ladies, you may meet a pancake and wine dude in the future and when you hear those words from a nice looking guy " I want some pancake and wine." RUN!! lol
or the over 40 year old virgin that pretends to be "shy" but not so shy on the dance floor with those wild moves, freaky!

For the ass kickin' band, Identity Theft. Keep rockin'!!

Been sick since Sunday and caught up with me Tuesday afternoon. I feel better but not quite 100%. Gotta take care my health!

Peace & Blessings!

Great trip to Houston and my sweet BCBG dress



Returning back to normal mode, the Fashion Merchandising class of my university took a trip to Houston for tour day.

We started out at 5:30 a.m. rolling down to our first stop Humble. Visited the Baskin's corporate office. If ya don't know what Baskin's is; its a country-western small town retail store.  Yep, we got one here in our hometown and they do have some kick ass boots and western wear. But what is surprising is they do have clothing that isn't what you called "western."  Then off to the Galleria!! Yaaa!!! I have no idea what kind of GPS they bus driver had but damn we didn't know where in the hell he was going.  Banana Republic was next and  pretty nice, ehhhh not too interesting but they do have nice clothing and really great in business apparel and weekend wear.  Now we're hungry off to some delicious Mediterranean food!

Of course being with 20 giggly 18-22 years old was funny. Most of the girls the fashion program are young black women. Never heard and experience Mediterranean food and some have but never ate before, a bit apprehensive but they wanted to have a great experience. Which was a hit and miss. Seems like a waitress felt it wasn't her fault during a mix up with the entree. And she let the young lady know it wasn't her fault. Wow, that's pretty damn bold of her to say that when the young ladies wanted a great experience in sampling a different ethnic food. But our instructors cleared the situation and yes the waitress did get chewed out by her supervisor. Then off to Charming Charlie corporate office.  Damn, what a nice place to work in the near future!! And didn't I tell you the founder is extremely cute??
He waved at me! LOL

Leading up to a future joke in a bit.

So off to our retail "observation" Duh, shopping!!!
I pretty much cleaned up some great deals in Forever 21 and Gap.  Of course I got the kiddies some nice things and myself a nice BCBG dress. Can't believe I paid that amount but that sucka was calling my name. During my retail "observation" seen some of the cutest and handsome looking men.  Most are Asian and Middle Eastern.  Hot dayum and butter my biscuits, the sweet country perkiness was turned up! Wooo, I was kinda late meeting up with my group at The Cheescake Factory because there was this gorgeous, tall, dark and handsome guy from Israel. Didn't care that he's selling Dead Sea salts to exfoliate my hands, that man was just too damn fione! Did a bit of light flirting and let him do the talking while he was trying to make a sale but I diverted his attention in where we're from and all that jazz.  That's pretty tricky to flirt with a sales guy, you gotta know when to fold and know when to hold in those situations. Shiieett I still had fun flirting and knowing a really great product. My hands stayed  pretty soft for a period of 36 hours.

Delish food, bit pricey but hey, better than eating my oatmeal..hahaha naw just kidding.  After our dinner, we showed our instructors in what we got. My Apparel instructor Mrs. Cupit is a BIG Tory Burch fan. She loves her TB! She showed me her Tory Burch wedges, cute as always and I busted out with my BCBG dress. Mrs. Cupit shakes her head, smiles and loves my dress and the girl behind me bust out " Shoooootttt she's trying to get Charlie with that dress!"  Couldn't do nothing but laugh and said "Yeah, he's cute and I love successful men."  POW POW! lol

Being up for a mean 24+ hours, visiting corporate offices, getting to know the wonderful young ladies and peepin' out those hot Asian and Middle Eastern men and scoring a good-looking white sexy dress, my sweet lil booty was tired. I had a wonderful day and learned a lot.

And its almost 1am. Time for some sleep!!
Ya'll take care and hugs!

Love & Blessings.
