Footsies

As I venture around the wonderful world wide web, I've noticed lots of photos of, you guessed it...feet! 

This is one of my fav pairs of shoes & I can wear them all day without issue.

Like many other women, I love shoes!  I especially love those shoes that make my long legs even sexier than I've been told they are when I'm wearing my short skirts/dresses.

What is it about the high-heeled shoe that will make us endure  discomfort?  I'll admit to having my share of cute shoe pain, all in the name of vanity or as they say these days, preserving my sexy.

Even tho I'm overweight, my feet didn't get the memo!  (Thank goodness for small favors.) I'm still able to put on & work my 'hooka heels' {as my road dawg KitKat calls them when I wear them to work} & sashay with the best of 'em!  

I really get a kick out of the skinny heffas at my office who say, "Those shoes are cute" when I know "How does her fat ass walk in those shoes?" is what they are really thinking. That's right bitches!!  Don't choke! Image

I recently bought a pair of 4 inch skinny heels, but I had to return them. Image Mama couldn't hang.  I'm OK with 3.5 inch heels being my max.  I'm damn near 6ft tall in the 3.5's anyway.

Fellas - what exactly is it about women's feet and/or shoes that makes you ga-ga?

Ladies - do you endure a lil shoe pain in the name of vanity?

I Don't Like Spiders & Snakes!


Does anyone remember that song?  Jim Stafford sang it (thanks Faytal).  For the record, I'm not afraid of either...just thought it was a catchy title.

Friends, what animate and/or inanimate object(s) are you afraid of?

My nephew, Adrian, is deathly afraid of clowns & has never even seen Stephen King's It.  I think It would send that child over the edge.

My nephew, Darnell, as a young kid, was afraid of the intro music to Tales from the Crypt.  On the 1st note, that boy hauled ass!  It was hilarious! 

Playcuzzin has/had a fear of ashes. Image  Maybe he really has a fear of cremation & just doesn't realize it. Image In his defense, he ain't wrapped too tight at times, so I'm really not surprised. 

I watch a lot of Discovery Channel, so alot of marine life scares me.  I love the beach & the ocean, but I will not go into water that is not clear.  

Case in point - I went into the Gulf of Mexico at South Padre Island a few years ago & the water was murky, but I toughed it out....until seaweed floated across my thighs!  I just knew it was a damn jellyfish.  Needless to say, I got the hell outta the Gulf....after I fell forward & ended up with a mouth full of salt water. Image

By the way, that's a Black Widow Spider above.  Isn't she lovely?

My Shot at Interracial Dating

Magic/Mister/Doctor Mike has a blog on a similar subject.  His reply to my reply is what prompted me to share my experience.

About 5 years ago I met a guy at conference.  I could feel him watching me for most of the presentation.  It didn't creep me out or anything, but I did wonder what the hell he found so fascinating about me. 

During the break he came over & introduced himself. His name was Kim....yeah you heard me, Kim.  The man was Asian & about 4 inches shorter than me.  I spoke back & we engaged in lite conversation....or at least he did....we had a lil language barrier problem.  I had to ask him to repeat damn near everything he said. 

After the conference he gave me his card & had written his cell # on he back, and then asked for mine.  I thought, "What the hell...give it to him."  He called me a few days later.  Honestly, I had no intentions on calling him. 

After asking him to repeat himself several times, he asked if I had Yahoo.  I told him I did & we exchanged IM IDs.  Chatting was sooooooo much better.  He invited me dinner & told me to pick the place.  I did.

The day I was supposed to meet him, I called my BFF and gave her his info, told her where I was going & was on my way.

I got to the restaurant about 30 minutes early & he was sitting outside waiting for me. He held open the door & a table was waiting for us.

I looked over the menu & mentioned there were too many good choices.  He replied, "Whatever you want is fine." (once I understood him of course).  I ordered a very pricey surf & turf meal & a few cocktails.  It was dee-lish!  The dessert tray came around & I was gonna get the Bananas Foster when he suggested I should me try something new, so I did.  I ordered key lime pie.  It was OK.  Should've gotten my damn BF.

As we tried to talk over dinner I kept asking him to repeat himself.  It was very annoying for me, but it didn't seem to bother him.

It was then that I knew I'd never see this man again. 

We finished dinner, he paid the bill & we left.

He walked me to my car, tried to kiss me but I turned my cheek.  Did I mention we were eye to eye, but he was on the curb & I was on the surface.  (Me & my damn height hangups....)  I thanked him for the lovely dinner, got in my car & left. 

He called me several times after that evening, but I never answered.  I just couldn't bear to hurt his feelings.  I also deleted the IM ID I'd given him.

He finally gave up.

I hope he found what he was looking for.  I honestly think he might've been trying to fulfill some BBBW fantasy or curiosity with me.  Don't ask me why I think that...I just do.

The End.

Now, I know y'all got questions, so fire away.

Do you remember Da Ha Da Ha?




Now I KNOW y'all remember this one. I think I was in the 6th grade when this came out. We loved this silly ass song.

Guestbook Glittery Comments & all that Jazz



While I appreciate the thoughts that come with the tags, I would rather you not leave them in my guestbook.  I just visited a friend's guestbook and a MySpace ad is covering part of her comment box due to the glittery tag thingy left by a previous visitor.

Personally, I would much rather read & display personal messages versus the copied & pasted tags. 

I log on at work so I definitely don't want the Adult Hump Day or Freaky Friday ones. 

Don't get me wrong because I love graphics & some of your pages are very nice.  It makes my page hopping that much more enjoyable.

The tags, however,  take me back to my BlackPlanet days & currently MySpace (which I loathe).  With BP you did have the option to turn HTML off.

No disrespect to anyone who has left one for me, cause I still *heart* all y'all!!

My feelings won't be hurt if I don't get a "It's the Weekend Baby" or "Kiss My Ass" tag.

XOXO
