• Today I had to work with 15 hyper kids from the ages of 2 - 8.  All I can say is thank God for Veggie Tales!
  

• I am pleased as punch!  My kiddo is turning out to be a die hard Trekker.  She's been watching episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series on YouTube.  She even made her version of the Enterprise out of a toilet paper roll and popsicle sticks.
  

How could I not be proud? She's also been imitating the characters.  She's been walking around with her hands behind her back with a serious look on her face while trying to raise one eyebrow and uttering, "Fascinating". LOL!

• The chocolate trifecta will be in full effect in two weeks!  My friend tristaprez aka videovixen will be coming to Houston and I can't wait! She, Environgirl and I were a force to be reckoned with back in the day.  We try to get together at least once a year because tristaprez  moved Las Vegas and then to Oregon.  Like a lot of women, the three of us feel like we've lost a little mojo due to the daily grind of life. Tristaprez and I joke with our husbands by telling them to watch out! We were dangerous when we went out because we were totally HAWT! The three of us would walk into a club or a bar and get loads of attention.  Personally, I think that we were alluring because often we'd be the only black women there in addition to being attractive! LOL! We liked to hang out at places that didn't seem to have a lot of black patrons.  Once in New Orleans we went to a club where a the band played 70 and 80's hard rock.  Not only were we the only black women in the club, we knew all the words to almost every song!  We all got hit on several times that night and the drummer was trying to get my attention throughout the entire set.  He was cute, but I flashed my wedding ring BIG TIME.  It was nice to feel like a desirable woman again.  Sometimes working, being a mom, a wife and in Environgirl's case, being a full time student and working full time sucks the life right out of you. I find it ironic how some of the most feminine roles like motherhood and taking care of the household can make you feel less feminine.
