Open Letter to the Fiancee

Are people really so clueless as to the stress planning a wedding can cause? Why the hell would someone wait till 3 months before the wedding to want to make changes? I have only been planning for 9 months. Asking for input, suggestions, and your opinion for 9 fucking months. And now NOW you want to change something. Where the hell is this coming from? Why now? What is the motivation behind this? Is this your mother finally trying to get what she wants at my fucking wedding? Okay okay fine you can make whatever changes you want BUT you have to take responsibility for the changes. YOU will have to call the wedding coordinator, YOU will have to change the program, and YOU will have to let these new people know what to do and how it should be done. Take charge or your change and do it and I mean everything! All of a sudden it’s not a big deal, everything can stay the way it is. Ohhhh really?

Don’t come to me after 9 months of planning and want to make changes. I don’t give a damn if the wedding is 3 months away. It is hurtful when “all of a sudden” you got an opinion.


I just needed to vent.

Two Things That Make Him Scream Like A Teenager

1. Ray Lewis. The fiancée is a huge fan of Ray Ray. One day last week while he was working he called me screaming incoherently about seeing someone. I am laughing at this high pitch scream while trying to understand what the heck he is talking about. Finally he calms down and explains he just pay Ray Ray on the highway and what he was driving. Thank god Ray was going the opposite direction because he may have been driving off the road by my crazy fiancée.

2. Earth Wind and Fire (EWF). I have mention before the fiancée wants to be Verdine. Well we went to a concert recently and it was great. The theater was outdoors, cool weather, and cool crowd of people. EWF gave a great performance. Now leading up to the concert the fiancée said he had to give me a quiz. Quiz for what you ask. To make sure I knew enough songs as to not embarrass him at the concert. He is a fool for EWF. To his surprise I knew several songs, the only difference with him and I is that I don’t listen to them daily, I don’t have all the titles memorized, and I don’t know all the facts of the group since their creation (eye roll). So we danced like fools for over an hour and had a great time at the concert. There were a few moments that he sat their like a deer caught in headlights as Verdine did his thing on the bass.

Which reminds me fiancée bought a bass and hasn’t touched it in weeks. I am guessing there will be no solo at the wedding reception.

Open Letter to the Writers of Sopranos

Sopranos writers can go to hell. That ending pissed me off so bad. How the hell after your fans been watch this series for years. Devoted their time to follow the characters and know their names and family connections. How the hell do you just end with some many unanswered questions, with no finality with what happened? How can you do that to us your loyal fans?

I make sure I am home every Sunday evening at 9 o’clock to watch the week’s episode. And if by chance I am not home I DVR the episode or watch at soon as humanly possible on DEMAND. Some years I subscribed to HBO just for Sopranos. I lived with this Italian family as if they were my own family for years. I loved Silvio like he was my own uncle and laughed when Phil finally was killed. How could it just go off like that leaving me with so many assumptions?

Did the guy in the members’ only jacket kill Tony? Did the black guys kill the whole family except Meadow since she was running late? Is this about what Tony and Bobby were talking about in the boat? How when death comes you don’t hear anything it just goes black and silent? Didn’t they think that people will think their cable went out and start frantically looking for the remote (or was that just the Fiancée and I)?

As my brother said “this is the worst TV break up I have ever experienced”


Signed,


Never getting hooked on another series

So Much To Share

I have so much to share, where should I begin?

Lets start with my 30th birthday celebration. The fiancée planned the best surprise for me (which is hard for anyone to do) we went to New York for the weekend to see the Color Purple. That play was so damn good, I was nervous about seeing Fantasia because I can’t stand her speaking voice. But this girl did a wonderful job, no an amazing job as Sealy. I even cried toward the end of the play. It was awesome to say the least. I was a little surprised about the added part of Sealy and Sug living together as if they were lovers. I didn’t remember that from the movie but I did pick up the book and will be reading it soon. They whole weekend was great, we stayed in a wonderfully plush hotel right in the Time Square area. I feel really great about turning 30. I love that my man spoils me rotten.

Next topic – 2nd bridal fitting. Well I went in there dreading this fitting. You see I haven’t been working out and I have been eating everything in sight. So I told them going in the I had gained weight and that they better not let that dress out because I have 3 months and I will be losing that 5 I gained plus some. So my Russian dress make comes in with my gown and says, “I wont zip it all the way up”. Okay that pissed me off and motivated me at the same time. Needless to say the dress still zips up it just fits a little tighter then before. My goal is to get down to a size 8. And I believe it will be done!

This weekend I also did some other wedding planning with my mother (which is always interesting). We were looking for stationary for the programs and she had us on a wild goose chance all over Baltimore. Which lead to a wonderful blessing. I used to work at a jewelry store and this is the same place the fiancée and I purchased our rings from. So since I was in the area I decided to stop by and drool over a ring I want and just look around. So the owner’s wife offered me some jewelry for my wedding day. Can you believe that? Just out the blue, like she had been reading my mind. I have been looking for something to wear and not spend a lot of money. This was a completely unexpected and wonderful offer.


So the wedding is about 118 days away. And I am so excited!

Hooked

As many of you I too have a Starbucks addiction. But I consider my addiction a good one – my crack is tea. In the winter it’s a venti Zen or Green Ginger and in the summer its venti black iced tea.

So a little over a week ago a lady decided to run her car into the front of my Starbucks near the love shack. This is the one I always go to when I am home, although the one near my job I frequent more often I love them both the same. So when I heard of this horrific accident my first thought was “now where the hell am I to go and get my tea this weekend?” How the hell she managed to do this is still unclear to me, but I am glad she didn’t seriously hurt anyone.

I personally prefer the Starbucks store then the ones located inside the grocery store or bookstore. Does that make me a Starbucks snob? So, I could drive 25-30 minutes out of the way or I could just go to Barnes and Noble and get my tea. But will they shake my tea the right way? I decided to go by the usual spot, just to look and see what the damage was. SURPRISE SURPRISE they are open!!!!! I love me some Starbucks, they quickly put a temporary wall up and was back in business.


Starbucks rules and I owe this addiction to my sister in law!!! Love her.

30 and Fly!!

Well it came and went in a blink of an eye. I was dreading the thought of turning 30 but the closer it got the more comfortable I became with it. Its here I am 30 and fly!!!! At least I hope I am fly.

Had a great birthday dinner with close friends and family and this weekend the fiancée is taking me to New York to see the Color Purple. He just spoils me rotten. I did have a dream of getting a new car for my birthday but he assured me that wasn’t what my surprise was.


So folks I am 30 and I love it. I am getting married in 3 more months and I really love that. I think I need a new tattoo something with the number 3. Anyone have suggestions?
