And I am baacckk!
It's been a full week since I have written anything in my blog that is completely unacceptable!
I have been under the weather, trying to get my life organized and some of the things that I love had to give for the moment. I love writing and it's one of my greatest escapes, but this past week,just had me beat! There were no date's, no dinner's, no phone conversations, just me taking time to reevaluate my goals and congratulate myself on my accomplishments. Then with the hot and cold flux of this California weather, I got sick. Major sinus problems and it sucks!
Dry skin,chapped lips and all that nastiness that happens to the body when the weather is changing, but I am happy to say I am getting much better just in time for the weekend! I have a few things that are taking place, tell you about them on Monday.
Other than that while in bed here are few things that I pondered: I miss my daughter's father, it's hard accepting that a best friend is gone, so I have my moments when I wish I could call him and tell him the latest, get unsolicited advice and curse him out for tellin' me the truth. If you love someone tell them, show them, and give them all you got. It's a special and wonderful gift that keeps on giving.
Obama will be our new President of the U.S. I think McCain is suffering from something, he does not look healthy. I believe there will be more historical events to come during this election.
My daughter is growing more beautiful everyday, very thankful to have her.
I have learned that it is ok to not be the "loyal friend" sometimes you have to just let some people go. Not everyone deserves that type of friendship.
"Just because you are happy just where you are in life does not mean that everyone will be happy for you".
And yes it is still true, "Misery loves company".

Cosmo Wednesday......
On Cosmo Wednesday's me and some of my girlfriends get together and have drinks at the local spot down the street. We love it so much because the drinks are only $3.00 and the bartendar absolutely hooks it up! You can spend $9.00 bucks on three drinks and be good and toasted. Now that is coming from a light weight drinker, if you are an alkie, then you may need 5 or 6, and that would also mean that you need to soon visit AA....hint...hint.
The lovely thing about Cosmo Wednesday's is that when we get together we are able to talk about all of the latest that is going on in our lives. Of course I amjust there to give advice, becuase I really hardly ever share the real personal stuff that is close toheart, that stuff is between me and God. So I have become an advid listener. Sometimes you can find out the real deal that surrounds the worlds that are bring said. There are other people who just like to talk, and talk and talk. I listen to them as well because they just like to talk, so I give them the stage. It's all quite enjoyable to me.
Sometimes I may share a ferw items about the men in my life, but lately I have been on a date and for good reason. Eveyone is starting to suck to me, and since my time is very precious, valuable and all that good stuff, I do not waste it. I have truly been spending time with myself and reading other author's work. I have not been writing as much as I would like, but soon that situation will change. If you are a writer you know that there is a certain level of clarity that has to take place in the air before you can truly give what is in your soul, so I am on a small hiatus from writing my book. A real small one.
Ok, so next Wednesday I am inviting a guy from work. A very young scientist, who is kind of hip and intelligent. It will be the first for the girls, but I am sure they won't mind...lol. Soon I will tell you why.:)

1st Friday's.....hhhhmmmmmm
I decided to attend the latest 1st Friday's event. I have not been to a 1st Friday's in over 7 years. I thought that I would attend this one because I like The W hotel. I also thought this would be a good time to find out if there have been any changes to the type of crowd this event may attract.
The last time I went to that type of event was at some park in Oakland,and I was not impressed. I swore it off and have not returned until now. I must say that the ambiance was very nice. There were a few professional looking men and women. I saw too many of the men I usually see when I go out which is not very often,but these 3 or 4 men are always at events. I am wondering are they there to see each other. There were a few men there also who looked as if they were dressed up for the men, considering all the women who were on the dance floor alone. By the end of the night,and I suppose after a few drinks the crowd was more relaxed and their were a lot more dancing. That is one thing I do not understand is when there are women at events the dudes will sit and just watch, sitting in corners chatting with each other,like girls. The scene is quite disappointing to watch.
Despite all the usual nonsense that goes along when insecure men that go out and attracting the most needy girl like a sport, and all that jazz, it was the sexy Latino man that came to me. Now I am not one to date outside my race and nor am I to the point that I would ever consider doing so, for I have an abundance of what I like, this man was something nice to look at. And out of all the men that passed me up that night, the attention was all on us when he asked me to dance, and danced we did. I can fall in love with a good dancer, because I love to dance so much. We lit up the floor for what seemed like hours.
I am not one of those sister's who see a black man with a White, Latino, Asian woman and make judgements, hey I say to each is own. I am usually not attracted to them, but hey, they are free to choose whatever, it does not move me either way, however, I did notice the looks I was given for dancing, flirting, then having a drink with this particular man. Not only from the brother's but the Latina women as well. It was quite interesting and fun to watch how people were summing up the relationship, while watching intently. I am a beautiful black woman no doubt about that and I guess the threat would be that I have this beautiful Latin man in my bed, then between my legs and on my list of to do's. Can you imagine? The sex would probably be insane, combustible and even x-rated! Yes,I tend to go there sometimes. But for tonite we would have it out on the dance floor. He stole a few cheek kisses,and complimented me in a very nice and unforgettable way. I enjoyed myself. We exchanged phone numbers and called it a night.
The night came to an end and I had gotten a great workout on the dance floor. I was still feelin' my drink when we left the joint. We, as in me and my friend I came with....lol. I probably will be going to the next 1st Fridays, because it is the 20 year anniversary. I am glad to say that the crowd was more enjoyable the social aspect of the night was pretty cool. And besides, I came to have a good time and check the scene and that is what happened. I do not go out often, but when I do I plan to have a good time, so no matter if the music sucked or the drinks were bad, I would have had a good time. I am looking forward to the next event and wearing my little black dress.
