Weekend Wrap Up

Hey!

Was busy last week trying to put the finishing touches on Divinitee before its launch sometime this week. Did you miss me? Don’t answer that!

First let me say I am so saddened by the death of Whitney Houston that right now that is all I will say. She evokes so many memories of my childhood particularly my mother that I need to keep the words to a minimum. I fall into these periodic days of grief and right now I can’t. Sooo….

How was your weekend?

Nothing spectacular over here. Laid low, my son had his final basketball game and banquet. We grocery shopped, I went thrifting and bough $15 worth of nail polish from Walgreens who happens to have Sinful colors on sale for $.99. Thank me later for the heads up.

Last Thursday Trina over at Baby Shopaholic took me as her +1 to the Romare Bearden Black History month event at Macy’s and we followed up with dinner at Nancy’s Pizzeria in Buckhead. Let me say the food at Nancy’s was delicious. If you are in the Atlanta area, I highly suggest you swing by there. You won’t regret it.

Here are a few photos taken at the event.

Just Be Thankful For What You Got

Excuse the dust. I’m trying to make some changes and I’m frustrated that I can’t find a layout that I like. It’ll be back pretty around these parts…eventually #carryon

*Diamond in the back, sunroof top….Y’all don’t know nothing about that. Nothing!*

The other night I had to go to the grocery store and as I was getting closer to home I started to complain in my head about the fact that I was going to have to unload all of the groceries, get the kids in the house and feed them and put the groceries up all by myself because the Mr. got called in to work.

Then it hit me. While I’m sitting there complaining about the fact that I had to lug a significant amount of groceries in the house that were paid for without Peter missing any of his coins in an effort to pay Paul I felt bad. As if I really wasn’t being taught a lesson Mr. came home while I was feeding the children and the groceries were still all over the floor. Without a word he started to clean out the refrigerator and put up all of the groceries without me asking.

I’m ungrateful.

Seriously. Mad because I have groceries to eat, healthy kids, a decent car from which to pull these groceries and a door that belongs to me in which to stick and turn my key. Reality check homie.

I don’t have time for my own foolery. I urge you daily to take inventory of ALL that you have. No matter how bad we may think our situation or minor discomforts are there are so many people who have bigger and lesser fish to fry.

Are you active in your community assisting the less fortunate? I am not as active as I would like but I am going to make sure I get out and do more. Sometimes we need reality checks..they pay the best.

Be honest. Lately, what have you taken for granted?
