Alexander McQueen : Savage Beauty

Hey Dolls,

I want to apologize for the delay with publishing my next post. I try my best to keep my guys and dolls updated. However, I was a little under the weather. Damn allergies!!  It has been pure torture!! I literally came home from work, closed every window, pumped my A/C and jumped in the bed for the past 3 days! My allergies left me disabled for several days. : ( Benadryl is the only medication that works for me. It makes me drowsy. But, I would prefer drowsy over sneezing, soar throat and running nose any day! Other people suggested some other remedies. I'm open for suggestions, so send them my way!
Sincerely, severe allergy sufferer.  lol

Anyway, Mothers Day was fantabolous!!  We didn't do anything spectacular, but time with family is always priceless.  I should have woke up early enough to make it to church. I have to do better! I know Lord, its the devil!! He pushes me back in bed and places the covers over my face.

 Unfortunately, I did not take any pics (smacking myself in the face). But, my lil cuzzin took some for me. Check out his view from "down there." lol

This is the "sticky finger bandit" lol


He took the camera from me to take a pic of me. lol

Moving On...................................

Sunday's Best

Easter weekend was fantastic!!! Especially, when you get to spend it with family! But, I was having a conversation with some of the Fam - and we realized that the Easter holiday isn't what it use to be. Not many parents dress their children in their Sunday's Best. Most kids just wear new sneakers and jeans for Easter Sunday. I remember growing up, my siblings and I always had our dresses handmade by my grandmother. Big fluffy extravagant dresses, set off with a nice pair of Mary Jane's and a cute little purse.

We had our hair slicked back with pony tails or big curls. This was the one day you had the opportunity to be a little princess. And we cant forget the Easter baskets!!! Aunt Ginny, made sure we had a lavish Easter basket every year with a black barbie. She didn't play about the black barbies! No white barbie dolls over here! lol

As, I made my travels through the city on Sunday, I tried to capture the site of childhood memories. White Mary Janes, stockings and socks with lace. Unfortunately, I came up ended handed : (

Nevertheless, its always nice to be amongst family.


My little Cousins, Love these Gals! : )

Aunt Lynn is the background! At least smile! Geesh! lol


On to the Next..........................

Everyone has raved about how great the food is at "Kona Grill." So, I had to try it for myself.  Ryan and my sister invited me out for Sushi and cocktails. Now, keep in mind. I'm not the biggest Sushi fan. I cant fathomed eating raw sushi - but cooked Sushi I enjoy! I ordered the Shrimp Tempura and the California Roll (in error) I meant to order the Volcano Rolls. Nevertheless, it was ok!!! My mouth was watering for some good sushi, and I wasn't all that impressed with the meal. Lets just say I had better sushi, elsewhere! I won't completely throw "Kona Grill" under the bus until I sample more selections from the menu. I will definitely give them another chance to redeem themselves. For their sake, it better be GOOD!



My sushi??  : ( Yet I still ate it.



Awe.........Ain't we Kute!!

Smooches : )
