Before I get started I forgot that I never did the last installment of my blog awards recognition. The last person that awarded me an award was Laila over at Only Laila. I love Laila she is no nonsense and tells it like it is. Today I was given an award from Legally Chocolat over at Life after the Verdict. She’s an attorney. Doctors and attorneys are those professions that I look at in awe. You have to love folks who have the dedication to such things. Head over and check these ladies out if you aren’t already.
Now..I’m not here for anything below. Why? This situation hits a little close to home with the whole blended family thing and my little corner of the interwebs is a little more popular these days and being that its Christmas and I’m on my Kris Kringle I’m keeping my opinions to myself. Ya feel me?
So, I get an email from a reader asking my opinion on the follow situation. I told her I would bring it over here for her to read the responses for herself.
Wanna hear it? Here it go.
Well her significant other has a child from a previous relationship. The man is looking to purchase a pretty costly electronic device for the child for Christmas. Cause you’re nosy and want to know what it is…It has an apple on it. Moving on.
She is not agreeing to such because she thinks the device is more suited for an adult and thinks that the child’s mother will gain more benefit from the gift than the child will. The SO’s argument is it’s his child and he wants to buy it and doesn’t care if the mother uses it and thinks she is being messy and that her concerns are not relevant. Welp, there you have it.
Your thoughts? *vanishes*
Thanksgiving went well. As the weekend rolled around we just laid around and enjoyed each others company. Friday evening we headed out to visit my bestie. They had a cookout as a wrap up for their family that was leaving to head out of town after Thanksgiving. We swung by had some eats and chatted it up.
Mama's Babies
Saturday, laid around some more, cleaned, nothing exciting. Headed out to have dinner with my good friend Kelli who is also doubling as my PR person for the Divinitee relaunch. I normally wouldn’t do business with friends but Kelli gets it and she gets me. We go way back. Our lives are so similar its eerie. She has been here since the very beginning and since I have decided to go all out this time she understands my passion and urgency. She recently launched her own PR firm..Kelli Flournoy PR..yes, that was a not so shameless plug feel free to make what you wish of that.
I digress. We ate at Via. The food was good and set the mood for boring but necessary things such as business strategy and photo shoot visions. I am so excited!
Sunday, I headed out to Dollar Tree and Michaels to scrape up some material to finish off some Christmas decorations. I may or may not blog the final results depending on how it turns out. Please…I’m new to crafting and I’m sensitive about my ish.
