...hoping not to start a war here but this has been on my mind for a short while. I still see "natural" people ragging on those, like myself, who succumb to the "creamy crack" phenomenon. How are we any different than those wear natural hair but still chose to pick up a bottle to change their natural color, refusing to embrace the gray, etc? Just curious.....

An Office Problem - You Input is Requested (..and no I'm not involved)
My name is Nancy and here is my office problem. I have worked in my current job as an admin for two years. This was my first job after I completed my education and I started out here feeling eager to prove myself. I’ve done fairly well here and my performance reviews each year have been good. But recently I made a terrible mistake that has damaged my reputation, and I’m not sure what I can do about it.
I was alone in the office one lunch hour and went to a colleague’s cubicle to leave some paperwork on her desk. I noticed a file sitting in the middle of her desk and saw that the label read “salaries” and there was a stamp on the front of the file that read “confidential.” I have no explanation for what I did next, but I opened up the file and discovered it contained a list of staff salaries and proposed raises for each person.
I began to scan the list for my own name and, of course, saw what other people were being paid and what their raises would be. I didn’t spend long looking at it, but my bad luck was that my colleague’s manager came into the cubicle, saw what I was doing and grabbed the file out of my hands. He was very angry but merely said he would be reporting what I did to my manager.
Later in the day I got called into my manager’s office and was severely reprimanded. She said that she would be putting a letter in my human resources file documenting what I had done. If there are any further incidents of this nature, she said I would be fired. Needless to say, I also did not receive a salary increase.
Unfortunately, my colleague found out from her manager what had happened and now it seems everyone in the office knows. People have made some snide remarks to me and have called me “Nosy Nancy.” I’m no longer being invited out to lunch by colleagues and am generally being treated to a very cool and unwelcoming environment in the office. I realize I did something wrong but can’t help wondering why a confidential file was left on my colleague’s desk where anyone could look at it.
I’d really like to try and regain my good reputation but don’t know what to do. Do you have any advice for me?

Old-School "Must See" TV
For me it was The Muppet Show. If I didn't see my Muppets, I just wasn't right for the week. LOL
Keep in mind this was before the VCR, so if I wasn't near a TV 10 minutes before show time, I would act a plum fool. Don't mess with My Muppets! LOL
Scooby-Doo was another one of my favs. I loved trying to solve the mysteries.

Almond-Crusted Chicken Fingers
Description:
Instead of batter-dipped, deep-fried nuggets, we coat chicken tenders in a seasoned almond and whole-wheat flour crust and then oven-fry them to perfection. With half the fat of standard breaded chicken tenders, you can enjoy to your (healthy) heart's content.
Ingredients:
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large egg whites
1 pound chicken tenders, (see Ingredient Note)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.
Place almonds, flour, paprika, garlic powder, dry mustard, salt and pepper in a food processor; process until the almonds are finely chopped and the paprika is mixed throughout, about 1 minute. With the motor running, drizzle in oil; process until combined. Transfer the mixture to a shallow dish.
Whisk egg whites in a second shallow dish. Add chicken tenders and turn to coat. Transfer each tender to the almond mixture; turn to coat evenly. (Discard any remaining egg white and almond mixture.) Place the tenders on the prepared rack and coat with cooking spray; turn and spray the other side.
Bake the chicken fingers until golden brown, crispy and no longer pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips & Notes
Ingredient note: Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded “chicken fingers.”

Waiting on the "Other Side"
Here's my question - if you are believer, when your time comes, who is the one (1) person you think will be waiting for you in "the light" and/or who is the one (1) person you want waiting for you?
For me, the list is long but if I have to choose one, it would be my daddy. I had so little time with him, but I still miss him so.
PS Happy Valentine's Day!

Family & Friends - It's OK to support & cheer for 6 year-old Shay-Shay/Man-Man when they're imitating Micheal/Janet Jackson. 16 to 26 year-olds, not so much. Stop setting these people up for public failure. If nobody has asked them to sing at the family weddings, baptisms, funerals, etc., chances are....... I'm just saying.

New Year Resolutions.....
I know I can keep! 1. Do not lose weight. Hell, I might even gain a few lbs., staying fat, fine & fabulous!
2. Cuss often. Let these !#%$& know I ain't no joke!
3. Wait until I'm down to my last pair of good panties, before doing the laundry.
4. Eat cookie dough right out of the package.
5. Fry everything! Chicken
6. Drink more! My bottles are too busy collecting dust. Cheeeeeeeeers!
7. Eat more homemade desserts! They're better for you than store bought, right? Right!
8. Entertain countless dead-end 'lationships. A girl can never have too many broken hearts, right?
9. Oversleep daily & arrive to work late 4 out of 5 days of the week. It ain't like the work is gonna leave if I'm not there on time, right?
10. Start to clean my house on Saturday, do 1 or 2 things, sit down, log on, pop in a DVD & completely waste the entire day.
These are the things I know I can do successfully in 2010 & beyond!
