Rantings of a Creole Princess

eDress Me!

Dr. Punkin doesn't think I'd wear this. She says I'd buy it but it would sit in my closet forever.  What say you?

 

eDress Me: Need Help

I'm trying to knock this shopping out today. What do y'all think of this as a "nude" basic shoe I can wear with trousers? Does the strap make it look too old ladyish?

Full Version of "sisters."

The little award winning short film that started it all. Shot in two days for $8,000. #WINNING!

We (SIP and Monnie) will be back next week!

 

I have a list of to-do's as long as my house is tall.

I still have to find clothes for Cannes or I shall be shopping my closets (which isn't a hardship mind ya...but still...).

I have to get my wig did and my brows tweaked.

I have to get back on a regular schedule of eating.

I have to spoil my husband.

I have to take a sofa nap with my doggies.

I have to harryazz my Godson.

I have to find a way to balance it all because I'm not doing a particularly good job of it right now.

I have to train my dragon because I fear I shall need him soon.

Do you think they REALLY love each other for real and not for show?

Are you interested AT.ALL?

"Too Many Lovers In A Lifetime"

I was listening to a song with that in the chorus and I said it was true that too many lovers in a lifetime isn't good. Someone thought I said TWO lovers and commented on it. The discussion that followed was interesting because it pointed out differences generationally and based on male/female views. Tell me...what do you think about women having two regular lovers during the same period? What do you think about men who do the same?

This annoyed the PIG.SHAT outta me...

I'm really annoyed after reading Becca's blog this morning about her continued triathlon training:

Words are Powerful

I got so annoyed that I called her and when she didn't answer...called her back again.

She answered and told me she was in a meeting.

So I didn't get to say what I wanted to say and I'm mad.  Seriously...I'm mad.

Look...and this goes for all of yall...

I never, ever, ever understand when folks take to heart something some ASSHOLE says to or about them instead of focusing on the MILLIONS of things people who love them and have their best interests at heart have said to them.  Like...seriously.  Don't do that ish.  Becca is one of my personal framily Sheros and that's not something I take lightly.  Doing triathlons make her happy and proves to me what I already know...she fuggin ROCKS! 

Man...I'm PISSED and I ain't got ish nice to say.  Yall go over there and be motivating.

Imma stay mad for a few more minutes. 

Sheesh!

SIP:  We should get dude's information and visit the next time we have free time.

Complaints

I'm extremely aware of the economy and the need for people to keep their job. Because of this I hardly ever complain to someone's boss. Does that make me soft?

SIP: Yo hablo Espanol tambien.

Last night I checked into my hotel around 8:30pm.  I got in my room and called Robby, sat on the bed and talked to him while I put my stuff the way I like it to be.  See...I'm weird so I put my suitcase on the luggage rack inside the closet and I leave all of my things in there except for my electronic bag which I sit on the ottoman next to the bed. 

After our conversation I went to the bathroom and noticed the floor was dirty.  Like...really dirty.  So I called down and asked could someone come up and clean the bathroom floor.  Well...as I'm waiting on the answer, my hand is on the desk and I feel crumbs and that was too much for my little brain to register.  I requested another room. 

Once I SEE the dirt I can't deal. 

Seriously.

So the young man came up and met me and let me in the room next door.  I walked into the room and went straight to the bathroom.  Before I could say anything, the young man noticed that the floor was dirty.  He apologized and asked me to wait in the lounge while they cleaned the room.

Cool.

I sit in the lounge with my stuff and have a glass of wine.  There were some drunk folks in there being loud and annoying so after about 20 minutes I went out and waited outside the room they were cleaning for me.  I noticed that two people I'm familiar with (this is the hotel I stay in every time I'm here and the hotel I'm currently working on a contract to house our cast and crew) in the room.

I overhear the housekeeper saying to the two people in the room:  "There, it's clean.  If she complains this time it's cause she's one of those trying not to pay."

SIP:  B'what?

Now...it's late as HELL.  I'm tired as HELL.  I ALWAYS pay and I'm a VERY.GOOD.TIPPER.  Also...I'm in talks to house crew and cast at this hotel for an entire month and have a meeting to sign the contract this morning at 9:00am.

I'm curious as to what YOU would have done when they walked out of that room and realized you were RIGHT THERE. 

The Robinator's Easter Basket

How was Easter?  I  only got a couple of Easter pics and I'm feeling some kinda way.  Yall know Monnie loves the kids hell.

What's going on with yall?  I feel like I'm missing a lot.

Great Expectations

When you were a kid...did your parents have expectations of you? What were they? Have you ever thought about the difference in life with and without expectations?

Things that make me smile!

I didn't notice the underside of the tongue on these Converse until just now. #WINNING!

Do the monkeys get paid?

Musta been a beautiful baby...

What does your family say you were like as a baby?  My family always says I was a mean baby and didn't want anybody but my daddy.  What about you?  Were you friendly?  Mean?  Serious?  What?

Charlie Wilson: "You Are"

Seriously...Charlie Wilson just sang this on "The View" and BLEW.ME.AWAY! It was AMAZING! JUST...WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I'm about to go buy this album...RAT.NOW! I was up in this mofo swaying and looking for a damn lighter to hold up. ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!

The Good Stuff

I always share with actors the good stuff.  The good stuff meaning...I give praise where praise is warranted. 

I love telling people how good they are and watching them absorb that and use it.

Last night I had the opportunity to tell a young lady just how AWESOME she is and she burst into tears.

I was shocked.

She cried it out, cleaned her face and rolled out telling me just how much it meant to her to hear that.

When she left...Robby and I discussed it and we talked about how much it helps anyone's spirit to hear the good stuff about them and how much of a powerful gift that is. 

And that's the truth. 

Hearing the good stuff is such a gift and I hope it's one you give often.

And I hope folks give you that gift as well.  Too often folks are quick to only point out the bad...why not flip that for a while?

BEST.GIFT.EVER.

SIP:  Just don't be crying 'round us hell.  We're not equipped for that.  Humph.

When you were a kid...did you get a new outfit for the holidays?  Do you do this for your kids?  Do you STILL do it for yourself?

Easter Dinner Menu!

I decided last night that I'm going to cook a full Easter dinner and do it up right.  Do I have time?  Not really but...The Robinator reminded me that doing holiday meals makes me happy.

SIP:  You know he was just trying to get some mac and cheese right?

Me:  Prolly so bruh...prolly so.

Here is one of my FAVORITE Easter tablescapes I've put together:  Easter 2009

What's on YOUR Easter menu this year?  Are you tablescaping?????????

Feeling Some Kinda Way...

I'm feeling some kinda way this morning because it seems like hateful shit is the norm these days and that cramps my spirit something awful.

It started last night with that hateful azz anti-gay shit and this morning when I read that story of that poor homeless woman...my mood simply tanked.

I don't know why things like this affect me so badly but they seriously do.  Sure...I know I don't know them people like that and sure...in the world we live in it seems that you should just empathize with you and yourN and nor worry about other folks but hell...I'm just not built like that.

Look...this world is filled with people from all walks of life and circumstances.  You never know what someone is dealing with.  A homeless woman being thrown in jail for educating her child?  Seriously?  And folks knew the situation before they threw her in jail?  SERIOUSLY?

MAN...people need to try to be better people.

LIFE OPENS UP WHEN YOU DO.
