Awwwww I feel special, I had folk making cameos on my comment box from Friday. I feel special....I mean Sangin Diva, TTD, N4R, Sherlon, Marlon, just folks I enjoy that don't comment very often or at all.....even my homeskillet Blue Angel dropped me a comment! Yay! There was no self pleasing this weekend so you can click to the next blog now if yah wish......
Okay, so this weekend was nice. Saturday I was on another mission to find my keys. I seriously need an key alarm or something so that when I lose my keys I can press a button or clap my hand and my keys will sound off. Normally I find my keys within a half hour, but this time I lost them on Thursday and here it was Saturday and I still hadn't found them. I have a spare house key for when I lock myself or Pooka locks me out the house so I been using that to get in and out the house. So Saturday I hung, folded, wash, dried, and put away every piece of clothing that was dirty and/or out of place and got my place in order. Still, no keys! I figured maybe Pooka put them in one of her toy boxes, so I went through those and in the process got a nice big bag of toys for the salvation army. Still, no keys. I got kinda mad cuz on this set of keys are the keys to my job. If someone was to lose their keys, they would have to pay for the new locks to be installed. I wasn't trying to hear that! So I gave up and flopped down on my couch and I hear a jingle. I be doggone if they were not in my couch. Mind you it was the second place I looked AND I literally turned the couch upside down!!!! Anyways, I found my keys.
It also decided to thunderstorm real bad. So I shut the house down and Pooka and I fell asleep cuddled up watching the storm. That was nice. I am glad that she is not scared of Thunder/Lightning. After it passed and we woke up, I took Pooka to the park to ride her bike and purposefully burned about a million calories running after her. That was fun. We got home and she took her nap and I went to study. TODAY IS THE LAST DAY OF CLASSES!!!!! Today is my teachers last chance to teach me anything before finals next week. I got one on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I don't know when my Saturday class final is. She wasn't in class Saturday to tell us! Oh yeah, Pooka and I went to Durham Saturday for nothing! Don't she know how much gas cost????
Sunday was more studying for Dr. Vodka. I have been focused so much on my Chemistry that I haven't really been giving my math course it's due time. So he got my weekend. During my studying Pooka decides she wants to go to the lake. The lake=the trail so I took that as a sign that I need to get my butt back on the trail. We put our clothes on and get to getting. Normally when I do the trail I leave between 7 and 7:30. This way there is not a lot of folks and the sun isn't really shining that hard making it too hot and unbearable. Sunday we left about 9:30. MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN if the brotha's were not out and getting their sweaty run on I swear! Yeah the trail was crowded like it usually is when you go late, but I never seen that many brothers getting their jog and/or run on on the trail. I may have to buy me a cute workout number and go late some Sunday's! Right now my workout gear is cotton tee and sweats.
Speaking of the trail. While Pooka and I was getting our exercises on, I overheard a conversation behind me talking about losing weight for a wedding coming up. One of the woman wanted to lose 10 pounds so her dress would fit right and that she'd been feeling fat lately. I wasn't trying to hear the convo, but I just couldn't help hearing it. So Pooka stops to throw bread at the geese and I see the women who where behind me. They where tiny women! I mean slim, skinny, very low visual body fat, thighs nowhere near touching to the point it looked nasty kinda small. I don't know which of the woman was talking about feeling fat, but neither of them had the right to say the word fat in reference to themselves!
Anyways I burn another million calories running after Pooka who's running after a dog that is running with a runner and liked to DIED! We complete the trail and walk home. My neighbor Youngbuck and her son are coming from where ever and she asked me if I just came from working out. Duh, I am not all sweaty and my shirts all wet from walking to the mailbox! I told her we just came from the lake and she mentions how she needs to hit the lake to lose some weight.
"What weight?"
"This weight!" As she tries to pinch some skin from her waist. "Look how fat I got."
"Girl BYE! When you gain some weight then talk to me about how fat you are!" I laugh and she laughs with me as we part ways.
Youngbuck is about 5"2' and no more than 120 pounds on the real. What makes her think she is fat? I study sommo' and decide to check my blogs and do a little blog hopping (like what I read already isn't enough) and I read some lady's blog about how she needs to lose 20-30 pounds and she is a size 8!!!!!! Ugh, I just couldn't take it!
I personally don't want to be an 8 but when are we gonna be happy? When I finally reach my weight goals, will I be happy? I don't know cuz it seems like no matter how small we, meaning woman, are...most think they are fat! I am sorry, if you are not fat, you don't deserve the right to call yourself fat! Fat is for the obese people like myself to use! Not the chubbies or the thickies or the slim folk. STOP USING THE WORD, it's not for you dagnabit! (I am doing so well not cursing). One of my best girlfriends in the world calls herself a big girl all the time and it drives me BANANAS! She is a thick girl with a lotta tits! Period, nothing big on her but the tits. HUSH WOMAN! I just wanna shake her sometimes! Stop comparing yourself to Nicole Ritchie people! STOP! Just STOP IT!!!!!
Fat people have a hard enough time dealing with their weight as it is, let me rephrase..... "I" have a hard enough time dealing with my weight to hear about how fat YOU think you are. It just makes me feel worse. It's kinda like, well if your fat, then I am dead! I do understand that a lot of people struggle with their weight, cuz even some slim folk have a kangaroo pouch. I just want people to stop calling themselves fat/big/whatever......when their not.... Those references are not for you, go get a thesaurus and find another word, or just don't call yourself fat around me, unless you really are. Or then again, maybe they are fat and I should reference myself as morbidly obese. *shrug*

It's good to see that Pooka has you out and about!
I totaally feel ya. When I started telling some people that I wanted to lose weight they were like why you aren't fat...trust me I wasn't fat but I ain't where I was when I started college 4 years ago, which wasn't skinny but closer to what I need to be in order to be healthier..let's just say my incubator (biological mom) blessed me with curves but dang lol...so far I've lost 17 pounds and I am giving myself till the end of the year to be back where I was freshment year before the freshmen 20 hit..so I guess it's all about perception and when people feel better about themselves they tend to act somewhat better..then again like you said if you wear a size 8...who you tryin to look like..a crackhead..and that ain't cute...
oh hell no. but the thing that annoys me the most is that it used to be only the white people who talked like that. now the black people do it, too. yo shut up!!! i hate that!! i'm a size four except in the right lower body black girl places (hips, thighs etc). but i used to be a size 8-10. so when my friend a size TWO talks about how fat she is or even my sis at a size 10/12, i'm like yo SHUT UP!!! you're black and even if you weren't, that ain't fat!!
What’s going on Ms. LadyNay! What’s really good?
I love that “Home Skillet”. I haven’t heard that in so long!
Blogger really pissed me off today. It took me all damn day to get my post up for the day.
I know exactly what you mean about those size 8’s trying so desperately to be a size 4. Give me a fugging break! I agree with Southern Gal – Nicole Richie is too damn small and that is not cute! Not to me its not!
Luvin - she got me out and running!
Southern - I like to hit the trail early when I have the motivation to go. But best beleive I'll take a Sunday every now and again to watch the menz! LOL
Honey - I think everyone wants to go back to the high school days!
Jameil - a 4???? Girl go eat a sammich or 2! LOL Just playing. Us black females are naturally curvy, at least the good majority of us. We should really stop trying to toothpick ourselves.
Xtc - NR isn't cute at ALL!
thanks for the shoutout!
