Happy Birthday Southern Black Gal!!!
(Now girl, I'ma call you what I call you on the regular: Southern Black Gal. I've seen your real name used on your blog, but we will just leave it at that, a'ight?)
Southern Black Gal has one of the funniest blogs out there, the beloved blog Thoughts of a Black Southern Gal.
And I LOVE the quote in the heading:
"One good reason for doing the right thing today is tomorrow."
Really though.
Check it out... I like to throw virtual parties, so let's get this party started EARLY on a Monday morning!
Now, I've been reading her thoughts for a couple of years now. Most have made me laugh out loud, some have made me all weepy... Goodness girl, I'm thankful that you tend to keep it smurfy!!
Anyway, this is a special birthday for Southern Black Gal.
Today...
She turns...
30
And ya'll know how I feel about "30"
"You don't know NOTHING 'til you turn 30!"
To quote my ownself from some former post concerning the phenomena of turning 30:
"Well, it’s weird… It’s like, somewhere between the ages of 27 and 30, some metamorphical (is that a word?) thing takes place. It’s like the thick cloud of smoke engulfing your peanut head starts to clear out. You start figuring out what you need to do, and get to doing it, and lo and behold, it’s is actually the RIGHT thing to do, and it produces good fruit (results). You may even go through some things spiritually. At any rate, things start to fall into place, because you’re making better decisions and what not."
Well, that's my observation of myself and most women turning 30...
Southern Black Gal... thatl cloud of smoke has lifted. It's your time! Do the darn thing!!!
With that said, I want to officially welcome you to the Dirty 30's - your good years.
And as of late, you've been picking at me and 2nd 68, joning out our 70s and 80s music on the sly.
Yeah... she's a self proclaimed child of the 90's. That's her idea of "Old School"

HUMPH.
Now, you rolling up in our age bracket...
And I have a few videos, for YOU. You are 30 now. You should enjoy these, hon.
Kill the sidebar playlist for a sec, i.e., press pause...
Here's the first... How old were you when this came out? I believe you were about 5 or 6. Yet it describes your uh, "sassiness" to a tee. LOL!!!

ReplyDeleteoh no you didn't bring out the buffalo gals. NO YOU DIDN'T.

ReplyDeleteHow you know I had the gas face listening to those songs? LOL Thank you for the Jodeic and SWV. That's my kind of music.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful bday tribute. You are correct about your phenomena of turning 30. Something just clicked in my head last year that made me get the ball rolling. I started making plans and figuring out what to do to jump start my career.
The smoke is finally gone.
Masterful!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would welcome you to the 30's too but um.. They too are in my past...
@Nikki!!
ReplyDeleteThere is NO music like EWF and Stevie... of course they feel cheated.
Buffalo Gals- what a song, even though it confuses me to no end, lol! Gotta love it!
@Opinionated Diva...
This here party is BYOB. You didn't bring your own bottle? Well, have some of the Kool-aid from the punch bowl! LOL!
@Ms. Behaving...
Glad you liked:)
@That Southern Black Gal...
Ha Ha! I thought you would get a kick out of those videos. But you're 30 now, you should've felt a slight tinge of enjoyment of the Buffalo Gals, riiiiight??
LOL
I hope you had a great birthday (despite that car trouble!).
@2nd 68... Yes, you have passed up the 30s! But I bet it felt GOOD to remember, didn't it! LOL!!
So true...
