Jennifer Hudson. I watched the Golden Globes last night... and Jennifer Hudson won the best Supporting Actress Award!
Thank Goodness! And she dedicated her award to Florence Ballard!
Go Girl!!!
And the winner for best actress in a musical or comedy is...
Psyche!! I DON'T THINK SO!!
This went the way it should go... Jennifer Hudson winning her award, and Beyonce losing. Beyonce is really going to have to do something out the box to win an award, because she is not the best actress in the world. She's gonna have to tackle some type of Celie Color Purple role or some Aliens role... something!!Let's face it Beyonce...Let me help you with your speech...
"No, I am not disappointed in losing. It was such an honor to be nominated in a category with such great actresses..."
Blah, Blah, Blah...
Okay, enough of that, Beyonce...

Dwan Abrams book deal. Author
Dwan Abrams, author of Only True Love Waits, the author who got stuck in a car with me for a total of four hours when we carpooled together to and from my book club annual retreat in the Georgia mountains, just got a book deal with a new publisher, Urban Christian, an imprint of Kensington. You go girl! I am happy for you!Now, I came across some information about the Urban Christian imprint in the erotica magazine, Noire. (Naw, I wasn't reading an erotica magazine. Someone in an online writing group that I am a lurking member of mentioned a poem they had written, and I went to read the poem. I am not a big erotica fan... We've all swung from chandeliers and handled a bit of business on kitchen counters... and I don't care to read about it, LOL!). Anyway, it seems as if it is going to be a good inspirational imprint. They are supposed to delve into some deep issues. I'm not a big fan of inspirational fiction, but I have come across some good titles lately, and I have a small story of my own that may fit somewhere in that category, so I will have to check it out!
Like I said, she was stuck off in a car with me for four hours, with me just grilling her and grilling her... She held up well, LOL!! I want you to know, Dwan, not a day goes by that I don't think about those intense convos we had. I think about something you said at least once a day! You dropped some knowledge on a sista that day!! Again, I am happy for you!! Bring on the next book!!
My brother, Milk and Cookies. He had a long weekend off and decided to bring his tail up to Atlanta to see the fam. I was very happy to see him, especially since I haven't seen him since Thanksgiving!
And he came up here with a brand new tattoo, a Jesus piece, on his arm.
And he also brought his girlfriend over to my house.
I just have one question... Is it necessary to CHEESE this hard?
Must he CHEESE this hard??
Okay, that's more like it...
He walked up in the house with her, and let's just say I was sitting up in there in my favorite chair, off in the dark like Mister was sitting at the house when Harpo brought over Miss Sophia for the first time. All I needed was a pipe to smoke and a cold glass of lemonade LOL!! Kari went outside for a good half hour to talk to my neighbors and left her in the house with me...
*LadyLee squinting hard and slowly rubbing hands together... ready to ATTACK*
HAAA!!
I was nice to her. We had a long talk. I know how to grill you without you knowing that I'm grilling you, you see.
She was a nice girl.
Nice lovestruck girl.
(You know how we were when we were that age.)
And that's all I have to say about that!
Grandma. My sweet little Grandma celebrated a birthday this weekend. She was born one day before Martin Luther King. From time to time, I enjoy taking her to a movie and out to dinner. Since she's an avid reader, we sometimes drop by a bookstore and pick up a book or two.
Grandma is sprite and she wears me out. (And I think I get my sneaker and sweats fascination from her, LOL!) I know when I see her coming down the steps in a sweat suit and sneakers, I better be good and ready, because we are going to be on the go!
Happy birthday Grandma!!
LadyTee and her Son, Nell. I hung out with LadyTee and her fam, and took a few pictures. 
I have a question. What's up with these young boys with all this "mean-mugging"? Why can't they smile for pictures?
Better yet, how you gonna try to mean-mug and look all hard with a t-shirt with the word "Salvation" in size 72 cursive font emblazoned on the front??
I posed the question to LadyTee.
She pumped her fist in the air. "Thuggin' for the Lord, gurl!!"
*LadyLee kickin' the hard eyeroll.*
Next time, smile for the camera, Nell!!
That doggone SNAKE!! Snake came by my house on Saturday night wanting to sell me a big bag of cat food.
And it was that good cat food, the kind that Oscar-Tyrone eats, you know. I make it a rule not to buy anything from the locals, as it most likely belongs to someone else. This is easy when he's trying to sell off a watch, jewelry, TVs, plants and trees. I just yell "NO, SNAKE!"
But cat food?
I said no. I imagined him and his crew going somewhere and knocking off a vet shop or something, which is some complete craziness. But he said it was the wrong food for his cousin's kitten, blah, blah, blah, etc... Whatever he said, I believed him. I bought the 30 dollar bag of food for about 10 bucks in quarters.
He later told me where he got it from...
Let's just say... HE TRICKED ME!!! I'm not even going to tell you where he got it from.
Pissed me off because I broke my rule: don't buy nothing from the locals... HUMPH!!
Humph. I am requiring that he write a poem on that subject.
Oscar Tyrone, didn't seem to mind. He watched me as I drug the food back into the house.
He yawned and went back to sleep.
Recipes. I have some recipes coming up sometime this month. I'll let you guess what they are.
Now, like I said, I will let you guess what those are... They both look a bit on the bootleg "foo-foo" side, don't they? Don't ever let it be said that the Oldgirl can't decorate a dish, LOL!
Like I said in a prior post, the 1% Diva in me has found it necessary to have a staff, so "The Miracle Cook" will start up soon (supposedly), starring LadyTee's 10- year-old daughter Miracle. She is a very good cook. (LadyTee rarely cooks. She makes her daughter cook... I am going to call DFACS on LadyTee!). She knows she has a segment or two coming up, but she is being very top secret with her recipes... So I am putting her on blast today: Milk-Milk, get your recipes together, get over my house and COOK, pronto!!
That's all for now... Have a good week:)

Gosh, can Milk and Cookies' grin be any bigger? Those dishes look ... interesting. At first glance I thought I saw kiwi and then I realized that it was cucumbers. Your boy Snake got you good. Can't wait to see the poem.
ReplyDeleteMy post today was about the Golden Globes. I was teary up when Jennifer Hudson won. Great awards show!
ReplyDeleteYour cat looks similar to mine.
Not sure I'd ever be convinced to buy a large bag of cat food from a local. I'm wondering where he got it.
Coming out of lurking here cause the Snake posts are off the chain funny!
ReplyDeleteThat big bag of cat food had me rolling!
As for your dishes???? Looks like some cucumbers in pecan rice or something and the next looks like another pecan pizza or pie. I shole don't know.
@ all...
ReplyDeleteThe issha with the cat food: I never buy anything from the locals, so no one usually bothers me about purchasing anything. I pretty much just got caught way off guard and in a slight bit of desperation (excuses, excuses!) But I had just returned home that night from the bookstore and FORGOT to go to the pet store next to the bookstore and get Oscar-Tyrone's food. He had NO food, and didn't seem to notice, as he was asleep on the chair. Snake came over and I exclaimed "Oh, cat food... I just came from the store and forgot to get oscar's food and that's the brand he eats." After I said that, I knew I'd screwed up. (Personally, I thought he was bringing it up to me to give it to me-- i know, STUPID thought!) We argued out on the porch for a good half an hour and it was becoming apparent that Snake was not leaving until I went and found some cash. (He went off on both me and my sister because we had no cash.) I went and raided my birthday change bucket and gave him the money. His story sounded quite convincing, but later on, he told me that somebody had jacked a truck or something, and that he wasn't involved. He saw the cat food, bought it himself, and sold it to me at a slightly higher price, thereby making a profit. I told him to be quiet, because, I um, didn't want to hear anymore. Can't worry about it... Lesson learned. Oscar is straight on food until the fall.
Now as to the recipes... The first picture is a chunky chicken salad, with grapes, walnuts, and cucumbers (sorry Oldgirl Chele... no kiwi;). It was a hit at my journal writing meeting, and I told them I would be posting it. And the second picture is a sweet potato pie covered with pecan. I made several. The one in the picture was made for Hen-Dog's mother, Ms. Mimi, who hit me up for that pie, a big batch of cookies and a quart of gumbo. His Mama made off with a stash of stuff from me, LOL! Ms. Mimi, I know you lurk on my blog, so I hope it was all good!
Awww he was cheesin boy cheesing HARD LOL...I'm glad bjeezy didn't win..she needs to let someone else shine
ReplyDelete@honey-libra...
ReplyDeleteHa!! Bjeezy! I like that. I would like to use that, if you don't mind!
Gurl, I bet Beyonce went home and CRIED!
Now, all we need is for Jennifer Hudson to win that Oscar. And for Bjeezy to lose...
That would be CLASSIC!!!!!
