The other afternoon when I picked Andrew up from school, I inadvertently left the mail in the back seat! Well my nosy son (he's like my mother-in-law: never met a piece of mail she didn't want to read or go through) went through the stack and found the Swimsuit Edition of Sports Illustrated Magazine. He got a big grin on his face and yelled out, "Mom, it's a book of cheerleaders back here. I'm going to read it mom!"

I was having a rough day so I was happy he was quiet, "Fine son," I responded,… Continue

"Momma, you woke me up!" Andrew yelled down from upstairs, "I was asleep and you woke me up!"

Shawn shouted from down in the basement, "Hey up there, cut out all that screaming. I've told you about that yelling!"

Neither of them asked "Mom, are you alright? Did you fall? Did you twist your leg and go down in pain?… Continue

Back in the day, I ain't gonna lie, I didn't mind it when Shawn would give me a little "booty call"! He lived in Houston when we were dating and I lived in Lake Charles, Louisiana. We had that long distance relationship but the drive wasn't too long that we couldn't hop in the car and see each other in a couple of hours. So I guess you can call it a short distance relationship! We spent a lot of time on the phone and being two young and horny single folks, the conversations got pretty "heated"!… Continue

Shawn and I were sitting around watching basketball the other day when this commercial came on. We busted out laughing and couldn't stop giggling about it! We both knew what the other was thinking without saying a word. I chuckled so hard tears were meeting under my chin!

"Baby," I told him, "whatever Michael Phelps is smoking I want some! He is swimming through concrete and corn fields."

"In the words of Rick James," Shawn joked, "cocaine is a helluva drug!"

"You got that… Continue

One thing I like about some ministers is their ability to think outside the box. My favorite televangelist is a guy named R.A. Vernon out of Cleveland, Ohio. I watch his Christian program weekly as he broadcasts all over the world to spread God's Word. But R.A. is different (SIDENOTE: They call him the hip-hop pastor and he's minister to Cleveland's young professionals including NBA superstar LeBron James) with his message! He meets young pe… Continue

I was talking to a conversation partner the other day when he told me about an interesting article he'd read about a new book. He was so excited to get my perspective about this because it was about black women--he's a white guy--and he really wanted my input. The book and article, accoring to my conversation partner, encouraged black women to do something "new". Now, I love it when white men have something new for black women to do. That's like me telling my damned dog how to bark! I imagined i… Continue
