Friday Foolishness
I'm a lounge/bar and a young lady walks in. I could she was young just by how she was dressed. She had on a one piece pantsuit with the sides and back cut completely out. Nothing is wrong with that but.. Yes there is a but. She looked rather nasty in my opinion. I could see pretty much everything. Yeah. EVERYTHING! She didn't leave that much to be desired.
It seems that some of the younger girls feel they need to show it all. And they do. Boobies, Butt, and anything else you could care to see.
This is bothers me because I have younger sister. I worry that she may feel that she needs to bare it all to be attractive. That is so not the case. To me it's not just about what you wear that makes you attractice. You can be just as beautiful in a sweater and jeans as you are in something revealing.-It's all about how you carry yourself. You don't have to show it all, or anything for that matter. My husband claims I look great in a raggedy tee and sweats, and he makes me feel beautiful in that same raggedy tee and sweats. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Pardon the Interupption... NOT
Some people are just plain rude. I know that is harsh, but recently that has become a truth for me. While dining out the other day with my husband and a group of friends, our dining experience was interrupted by several screaming infants/toddlers. The children in the restaurant were very loud and it began to disturb me and several other tables in the restaurant. The thing that upset me the most, was how the parents of each table never once got up and removed the child from the table nor did they try to quiet their children. I understand that dining out with children can sometimes be an issue, but these parents were just plain rude. If you know your child acts out- How about this.. Don't put take to restaurants where 95% of the dining population is adult or couples. That's just a thought.
In my experience (my family & my years as server in a family restaurant) when a child is disruptive in public they are removed the situation. Period. How embarrassing it is to have a child disrupting your dinner as well as several others. In my family you best be believe we were on our best behavior. There was no staying around and acting out. If you were bold enough to do that, then you must have been bold enough to accept a good scolding and a impending whipping... Maybe that was just my house.
When was it acceptable for children to ruin a casual dining experience? Why should I have to sit next to a screaming child that apparently only I can hear? That is why, whenever possible my husband and I choose to dine in the bar. It's quiet, children aren't allowed and the servers are pretty cool-most of them haven't been hardened by the spaghetti throwing champions or the I love Barney corral. I have nothing against families dining out, in fact I think its great the families are dining together. My issue is with the parents that seem to the think that their dining experience is the only one that matters. NEWSFLASH.. We Matter too! We like going out to eat, we like the atmosphere of a restaurant just as much as you do. So please, the next time you are dining out with small children think of how their actions will affect the other diners.

BET's Sunday Best
Let me start by saying that, I am not the biggest fan of BET (that's a whole 'nother post) BUT.. Yes, there is a but.. I'm addicted to their hit show BET's Sunday Best. The show in it's second season is a gospel version of American Idol, but with MUCH better singers and wayyyyyy better judges( Bebe Winans & Mary Mary) and a hilarious host(Kirk Franklin). The hour long show airs Sunday night in the 9 pm time slot.
Tonight's episode was the final sing-off for the last 3. All of which were AWESOME! I don't know how the judges did it..Sadly, Latice was sent home, but I'm sure we will be hearing more from her. She was amazing. Honestly, the three women on that stage were three of the best un-signed singers I have EVER heard.

Good luck Y'anna & Jessica- I will be voting for the both of you.. I can't choose!

The Break-Up: Part Two
Whoever said breaking up is hard to do, hit the nail on the head.
Breaking up with someone in my opinion no matter how long you were together is one of the hardest things that you can go through. From the tears, the evil words that were spoke, to the giving back of gifts, to the awkwardness of seeing each other out in public afterwards, breaking up generally just sucks. I've been through more than my share of few breaks-ups, and out of all of them I can remember walking away from only one of them thinking "Wow that was easier than I thought." The whole do-da just stinks.
The entire process of a break-up is physically, and mentally draining on everyone involved, heck its even draining on the folks that are trying to be supportive of the two or three (in some cases) people trying get on with their lives. Speaking of which, oh the supportive friend, let me tell you from experience, that is a HARD job to fill. In my experience it's either on one side you want your friend or family member to be happy or you just want it all to just end nice and quick. In some cases you want both.
Whatever side you are on know this.. breaking up with someone can changed your life for the better or for the worse- it's up to you to decide on how.

Friday Foolishness: Where is the love?
Happy Friday Yall!
I work in the grocery industry. I just happen to work for the one the largest grocery stores in the U.S. In my younger days..lol I used to be a server in a rather well know resturant, so let's just say I'm an un-offical expert in GREAT Customer Service.
What happen to sales clerks speaking when you came into a store? Or what happen to a server re-filling your drink before your glass was half full? What happen to a thank you?
Sadly, due to the changes in the work force, some people are just doing what they can to keep food in their bellies, and clothes on their butts-I am all for that.
BUT.. Yes, there is a but. In my world, if your going to do a job-do it well dang it. I know that times are rough, but please don't get an attitude while at work and you work in the service industry-that just doesn't make sense. Trust me, I will go to your manager... Call it tattling, Call it being a B***H, so what. If I come/call your place of business, I expect to be treated nicely, I expect my clothes to get folded, before they are placed in the bag, and I for dang sure expect you to speak to me. Nothing gets under my skin more, than rude service workers. Why are you so angry? What did we (the public) do to make your job so freaking hard? Oh I know what we did- we expected you to treat us how you want to be treated. But instead, weve probably came/ called your place of employment with an made about somthing, had an attitude
(just like you), then we were on our cell phone, and the kicker, we didn't even say thank you when we were done. So, I ask you today, where is the love?
