Brunching With My Girls!

They gave me the most wonderful, wonderful gift!   An emergency basket of wine!  LOLOLOLOL!  How awesome is that?  Each bottle has a tag on it telling me the circumstances by which I can open the bottle!  How awesome is that?  Me likey!  Me likey!  Me likey!

And I got a super fly t-shirt from the newly engaged Mia!!!!!!!!!

After brunch at my favorite restaurant in Montgomery Counry, Black Market Bistro we, as always, had an after party at Seasons 52.  It's crazy how when we get together we end up spending hours and hours and hours with each other!  We ran into the dinner crowd at the first restaurant and were so lively at the second restaurant the Executive Chef came out and gave each of us a card for a free appetizer the next time we came!  LOL!  GO US!  WE FLY!

Man...Imma miss my girls something fierce.  I might be too old to make these kind of tight friends ever again.  My girls always know my place is somewhere they can show up and have a good time or simply chill and I truly enjoy having them around.  *sigh*  I wish they could come with.

Seriously.

Did any of you move in your 40's?  Was it difficult to make new friends?

 

"Gone Girl" Review

I just returned from watching "Gone Girl."  After a harrowing morning of in$urance crap, I needed to fade into a dark room.  Best place to find a dark room in the daytime?  The movies!

Let me start off by saying first that I did not like the book.  Not because the writing wasn't good or the plot was good but because I straight up HATED the characters.  There were no redeeming qualities.  I straight up did NOT lime those people AT.ALL. The only reason I continued to read it was because I needed some comeuppance to rain down on somebody's head. 

I felt the same way watching the movie.  I hated them people.  I loved their tray ceilings, I thought their cat was cool...but I straight up hated them people. 

They wore me thin man...they wore me thin.  If you are miserable in your marriage...get a divorce hell.  9 times outta 10 yall weren't supposed to be married anyway if it's that bad after only 5 years.   

It has been a long time since I read the book so I was that affected by the changes.  I just read an article that reminded me the many things that did change but those things didn't mess up the movie.

The BPC (Black People Count) was pretty high for background people.  The only Black person with lines was Tyler Perry and well...he's like 5 Black people on the BPC scale so I felt there was a normal representation since it wasn't in that black-out place in Ohio.   

I know...crazy talk.  I give the movie a B+.  It was good. I hope you don't know anyone like these people.  Ugh.

Tracee' Ellis Ross on "Black-ish"

The other day Tracee' Ellis Ross wore a dress with running sneakers on "Black-ish."  Well...my motto regarding fashion is...

So yeah...I decided to play around with it and see what I could come up with.

I'm thinking my butt makes it so this is an outfit that needs a long sweater over it or an inside only outfit and hey...let's face it.  Inside the house, I'm in lounging pajamas so yeah...I don't think I can do it.

What do YOU think?
