What I’m Feeling Today: Marsha Ambrosius’ Late Nights & Early Mornings

Let me start this post by saying, without this song... ...my daughter would not be here. I said "Yes" one too many times and nine months later, here she came. LOL. Marsha Ambrosius', former lead singer of Floetry, has been teasing me with a solo album for YEARS now. YEARS. She's been releasing mixtapes and leaking one song at a time. I love her because she makes real grown folks music … [Continue reading...]

Promoting the hell out of your blog

So I gave you some pointers on blogging on Monday. In a nutshell, you should write for yourself first, be consistent with your posting and for all that is good and holy, please use spellcheck. My last bit of advice in that post was about promoting your blog. If you're going to take the time to write every day (or every week), you might as well have an audience, right? No need in screaming in an … [Continue reading...]

Or, you have to finish a project or get dinner on the table and damn the programmers at Time Warner for only showing reruns of Batman or some other show your kid is sooo not interested in.

Quick bites

Lawd, why can I finish anything I start? I've got midterms coming up, a huge project at work, and the strong nagging feeling like my kids are getting the short end of the stick.

Crack Open A Book: 3 Books I’m Reading Now

I used to read at least two to three books a week before I had kids.

Motherhood has really left me with no time (or energy!) … [Continue reading...]

my life stinks

Well, not really, but this bit from comedian Louis C.K.'s stand up special....well, this is so true. {WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK unless you have headphones. He curses...a lot, but I forgive him because as a parent sometimes you need a little foul language to combat the endless loops of Yo Gabba Gabba and Handy Manny that play in your head.} … [Continue reading...]
