I Can't Call It!

"I can't call it" means that I don't understand. I got to the beauty shop this morning at 8:15a.m., my appointment was for 8:30 A.M. Here it is noon and my hair is not even wet yet. This is crazy. I knew better than doing this anyway. You have to be able to chill all day to do a Saturday appointment at the salon. I don't have that kind of time. If I did I wouldn't want to spend it this way. But, they do have some good gossip going around this joint. I have been truly enlightened this morning about the "word on the street". I need to get out more. I'm going home to do my own press and curl. Hopefully, I won't burn my ear..... please Lawd....please

Me and My A.D.D.

It's been a long time since I sat down to do this. I haven't been able to maintain a train of thought long enough to write anything for a couple of weeks. Before that, my poetry was flowing like water. I'm too easily distracted these days. I took a test the other night that's suppose to give you an idea of where you are on the adult a.d.d. scale. I'll just say my score was high and I probably have a touch. But, that's ok. I'll just say that's one of the things that makes me special. My a.d.d. has come in handy at work lately. it seems like there are about 20 different things going on at 8 locations, but I've been able to manage things effectively... I'm just good.
Spring is in full swing, and I have been enjoying it. Sunday, we got some crawfish and a case of beer, backed up the car and blasted the radio. It was an old school get together. You know one of those things that just kind of happens. The next thing I know, my brother has the deep fryer going. It's good to be a country girl on days like that. But, I have to be honest Monday morning was a killer. I can't ball on school nights anymore. I don't have that kind of energy. I felt like begging for 10 more minutes when my alarm clock went off. Still, I made it threw the day. On the way home from work I had a million thoughts. Sang every song on the radio. And probably pissed off a few people. My thoughts ranged from politics to what I was going to wear to work the next day. I even did some financial planning, I'm thinking about a new hustle. Here are just a few of my thoughts:
*Is it just me or is anyone else ready for the democratic primaries to be over? Damn somebody has got to win soon or somebody is going to have to call the race.
*Why wasn't Barack Obama at any of the Martin Luther King,Jr ceremony's on Friday? I know he spoke about it, but his ass should have been there. On the balcony with John McCain. I feel like my support is being taken for granted.... again.
*Who qualifies to be a pollster? I don't know anyone who has been called by a pollster, so i can't take them as being valid. I personally think they are making it up... it's all apart of the man's plan if you let me tell it.
* How do they find these guys in Europe and Africa to play basketball? I want that scouting job, but that is another form of outsourcing. I know a lot of brothers who can do that job.
*I'm thinking about doing some mystery shopping on the side. It's a good way to combine two things that I love.. shopping and making money. I think it's a good marriage for me. They send enough emails about it, I wonder how that got my email address.
*The basketball season is practically over and I never made it to Hornets game. Playoff tickets are too expensive. I'm going to have to go on a date to do that. But, If I were the brother taking me, I'd expect some booty.
*I probably spend too much time, energy, and money on my hair. I am going to work on that, probably won't succeed... hair is my thing. When my 'do is bangin it brings everything together. I give it way too much power. Then act as if it's effortless.
*If gas keeps going up, I'm going to get a scooter. Do they still make mopeds? I'm sure they do, I'm going to have to invest in one. Do they come with air conditioning and windshields? I can't mess up my hair.
