Summer Travel Plans

I really need to get out more! So far, I have two trips planned (meaning tickets have been purchased) - Atlantic City @ the end of the month and Las Vegas mid-July! I was hoping to get a trip to Jamaica in there, somehow. But I need to get some other folks to join in! I would also like to take a trip to VA Beach. Maybe for the 4th of July weekend! That sounds pretty cool!

I'm definitely thinking about going down to ATL... Let's see if I'm still an invited guest! :)

Suggestions are welcome!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Today's meal - Meatloaf! - Yummy! (I hope)

That is all

Rainy Days...

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day.
Little Johnny wants to play;
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again!

Dear Metro

Dear Metro,

First let me begin by saying that I have been a faithful customer for 3 years. I began my metro experience shortly after I moved to the DC area. I must say, when I first moved here, I was delighted at the cleanliness of the metro stations. I also enjoyed the fact that you had the estimated arrival time for the trains! Totally cool feature!

I've had some good experiences and some not-so-good experiences with your service. First things first... I ride the bus every morning and afternoon. One thing I can not tolerate is metro bus drivers that do not know where they're going. They rely on the riders to tell them where to go! If the normal bus driver is unavailable, I say you find people that are familiar with the particular route before you send them off with nothing but a few mapquest directions! I don't really mind this happening in the evening, but not in the morning! Many of us would actually prefer being on time to work.

There may be some things that I just don't understand about the operation behind metro. However, as a customer, it comes off as poor management.

You may want to fix that!

Sincerely,
Me'Shell

Press Play

So I may be in the minority here (or not).. But if you saw the play icon, would you expect it to play or pause?

I figured if I press the play icon, it would do just that...PLAY!

Pandora, you really need to fix that! It's very confusing! Here I am thinking something is wrong with my speakers, when in fact...Pandora just does not know the difference between Play & Pause!

Ok, enough about my press play/pause rant! :)

I hope everyone is having a fabulous week! I am getting ready to watch Milk. The movie received a number of awards, so I hope it's good. Then again, Sean Penn is in it... NUFF SAID!

I'll be back soon (I think)

You know what I hate?

I absolutely hate when I drunk text/call people! Ugh!

Maybe I should just leave my phone home when I plan to go out and drink!
lol

Ego!

Some women were made
But me, myself
I like to think I was created for a special purpose

My Mind is Blank

I've been meaning to write a blog, however, I'm not sure what to speak about. There is so much to say...however, the words just don't seem to come out right! Don't you just hate that?!

So basically what I'm trying to say is...this post is going to be RANDOM as hell!

• Is it me or are the men in DC losing their "umph"-factor?! I'm sure the same can be said for the women, however... I honestly have yet to meet a guy with that "umph"-factor!
• So I've been on this eHarmony thing for over a month now...and honestly, it's super wack! #1..The guys that do sound somewhat interesting, they don't' have a picture! Big No No! If you're on a dating site, why not post a picture?
  
• Am I the only one that's really annoyed at Kim from The Real Housewives of Atlanta? Ugh! She's ridiculous! She can't sing...yet she apparently has an album coming out! She claims to be 29...YEA F*cking right?! She's with a married man....and shes somehow proud to be a mistress!
  
• I love Nene!
• I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired!
• 1 month...1 week...2 days until my b'day!
  

The end

Halloween Costume

Yay! I found my costume!
I'm going to be a corrections officer!

What if...?!

Have you ever thought about the what if of your life? What if I never moved to DC? What if I chose a different major? What if I went to a HBCU? WHAT IF?!??!? This bothers me more than anyone can imagine. The problem that I'm having is... I have too many "what if" moments! It's as if I'm not that satisfied with the life that I live. What if things were different? What if I had a man? What if I was a virgin? What if?!?!? I know there are going to be people out there that are going to say just live your life! It's easier said than done! I really wish I would've made some different choices in life. What if I had the power to just press rewind on certain aspects of my life? What if I had the power to change professions? What if I had a chance to experience the day in the life of Barack Obama's wife? (Just kidding!) --- or am I??? No but seriously.... Although I'm not one to live with regrets.... I do wish things turned out differently.

Please excuse my babbling.... it could just be the chardonnay talking! :)

Cramps

There are 4 days out of the month were I wish I was a boy.












NOT!

I honestly would hate to be a guy. No disrespect but you guys are too simple!

What a blast..

It's been so long since I've had a great time out...it made me want to do it all over again! :) On Friday, I celebrated the b'day of one of my good friends, Geron. It started at Clyde's! We had a BLAST! We laughed about damn near any and everything. It was about 14 of us at the table. Some of us never met before, but you would've never tell by the way we interacted. After that, we decided to go over to Jin (one of my favorite chill spots). The crowd was pretty wack...however, we did our best to enjoy ourselves. I had a couple of G-spots (my favorite drink). We decided to leave shortly after. We were heading to Station 9 when we saw these guys blasting Jennifer Hudson's "Spotlight." OMG! That was too funny. They were out there at the gas station dancing while pumping gas. LMFAO! So of course, we decided to join them. LOL.

I won't go into any further details of the night. Let's just say I can't party the way I use to. My body was aching...my feet were screaming. Too much walking on 3 inch heels. Poor babies.

So this upcoming weekend there will be a lot of people in town for HU's homecoming weekend. I'm not sure if I'll be around. Most of the spots will be overpriced and packed. And that's not cool! I think I'll just stay in. Maybe do some bowling or roller skating. Anyone care to join?

This is why I'm hot!

I'm Starving!

I have no clue what I'm going to eat! :(
Any ideas?

Random Thought

This week.. I think I'm going to head to Starbucks or a bookstore with my laptop & just people watch! Yea... that's what I'm going to do. :-)

Lost...then Found!

I was literally going to write a totally different story today! The night started out with me & a friend at Jin. We proceeded to head over to Café Asia. Between that time, I somehow lost my shoe! Ugh! I was honestly depressed. I love those pumps! The BCBG patent leather peep toe pumps! Anywho… my friend just sent me a message informing me that he found my shoe in the middle of the street! WTH! I swear... only me!

My Crush - T.J. Holmes

This man is absolutely gorgeous (to me)! He's the weekend news anchor for CNN. I wake up early Saturday mornings just to see him! I mean... look at him! He's BEAUTIFUL! He has a wonderful southern accent (sorta). He has a beautiful smile (like me)! I think we're a match-made in heaven ... he just doesn't know it yet! (wink)

Happy First Day of Autumn

YAY! It's the first day of Autumn! Time to pull out the cute boots & fly jackets!
I find that autumn is the best time to look your best.
The nights are always so beautiful!
