ONE FLAW OF A WOMAN

By the time the Lord made woman,

He was into his sixth day of working overtime.

An angel appeared and said,"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"

And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her?

Entry for August 28, 2005

holla peeps;) just wanted to check in with you all. I had to be at my retail job today at 7:30am. i picked up a co-worker so she could make her supervisor meeting. Then the whole store had a team meeting at 8am. We broke out into our special groups, mine being appliances. We read over new materials and then reconviened to the front of the store after 45 minutes. We gave out special honors to employees which im proud to say that I was a recipient of a very cool bag with a coffee thermas, coffee cups, and spoons;)

Hello Everyone

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hi to everyone and hope you all have a safe weekend. Please read one of my previous blog entries about the DWI checkpoints that will be enforced this weekend in St. Louis as well as the scheduled ones nationwide. I wish I had someplace to go but I’m resigned to just go home and pop in a movie and turn on my jazz station and vibe out. Yet you never know, it is payday for a sista and any day like that is always a good day.

Tears, small crystal shaped droplets
Fall down in a single line across my uneven mahogany skin tone.
I see my reflection in this thing called a mirror.
I touch this thing yet I only feel a cold slab.
The person on the other side is crying as well.
It looks to me for comfort yet I cannot give if any
For I am selfish hoping that I will find someone to hold me before it does.
I cry for many reason, for things that I have lost and things that I hope to gain but
Know I never will.

Life and Death...a Contemplation

Yesterday evening I went to the wake of one of my best friend's dad. I didn't really remember him since the last time i could remember him was at one of my friend's birthday parties back when we were little kids. He was a police officer out in Ballwin, MO. I remember when she told me this past Tuesday, the day he died. Thoughts started to run thru my mind. About people that I care about that have past on.
