It's Official

I will finally get a chance to be "Cool Auntie K" and I can hardly contain myself. Come February, my sister (we will call her "the lovely Ms. A") will officially make me an Aunt. We have known for a couple of weeks, but she went to her first doctor's appointment at the end of July. She found out she is only about 10 weeks along, and I got my first picture of my new niece or nephew.

Which also means I have my first picture to share with the world.



I have vowed to spoil him or her and rack up some frequent flyer miles traveling to Florida to visit. Since the death of my Grandmother I have not traveled back home to Florida very often (about 3 times in 7 years). But now, with my sister and my-brother-in-law (I call him Double D) purchasing their first house and the new baby, I have a reason to go whenever the notion hits me. And I can also get to know my younger brother and sister a little better.

So Sick of Vick

I changed this post for a number of reasons, but mainly to change the tone. Vick has never put a meal on my table or money in my pocket. So I asked myself, "Why should I care?"

My answer? It makes every African-American look bad. We have all heard be careful who you associate with because it is a direct reflection of you. Be careful of your choices because they have the ability to come back and bite you in the rear. Always read the entire document before you sign on the dotted line because ignorance is not an excuse to get you out of a contract.

I could care less about Vick but he should teach people to be more careful. Be more mindful of your friends and associates, be more mindful of your choices and words. And last but certainly not least, read the ENTIRE contract before you sign on the dotted line. Contracts can dictate your actions, words, and future. That's why they are legally binding.

If people could understand that, we wouldn't sound as ignorant as we do now.

I Love My Blue and White

I volunteered to help with a Community Service project that has me dusting off my stepping shoes. "When Zeta calls..." (my sorors know the rest).

I was going through some old step show tapes and my DP (Solitaire) showed me this from Youtube. There will always be a special love for Georgia State University. My first blue and white home was with the "Lovely" Lambda Nu and "Phonky" Pi Alpha Chapters. I hope they don't mind this posting. It's all about Blue Love.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video of Pi Alpha and I know you will as well.
