Get More: Basketball Wives (Season 4), Evelyn, More Video Here's the trailer for the new season of Basketball Wives Miami. I'm over Evelyn selling wolf tickets, she only gets buck when there is someone to hold her back. I'm sick of Jen acting like she can't stick up for herself. And I still don't get why these two are fighting in the first place. And frankly all of them are too old to be

Lessons in Parenting: Karma is a Mother!

2012-02-07T10:55:00.000-08:00

Last week, I was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework with my son. My son is a smart kid, and he normally finishes his homework with ease. But that night it was a struggle. He was whining, crying, falling off his chair and just being obstinate! It was driving me crazy, especially because he was working on something I knew he knew. The question was "What number comes before 11?" and he

I Can't Get This Song Out of My Head

2012-02-03T10:17:00.000-08:00

I kept seeing pictures of Lana Del Rey all over the internet and heard people raving about her. When she was scheduled to appear on Saturday Night Live I stayed up to check her out, only to be disappointed. I don't know what I was expecting, but that wasn't it. So Kid Fury wrote a blog about Lana the other day, and included some of her videos. I watched Born to Die and I fell in love with the

Escape from Team Chunk: 2012 Edition

2012-02-02T10:33:00.000-08:00

When I did my 2011 year in review/2012 resolution post I mentioned that I still had 20 pounds to lose. With January in the history books I wanted to post a little update. I'm going to be completely honest, for the first 2 weeks of the year I had no motivation to do anything about my little pooch or my flabby arms. I was surrounded by holiday treats, and the idea of going to the gym with all

I have no words. I am anti-pageant myself, but I don't judge those that do. But this lady here and her child... I have no words at all! But if you do feel free to leave them in the comments! Thanks Ecart for sharing!

The Three Year Rule

2012-01-05T10:30:00.000-08:00

After 10 years, LeBron put a ring on it... On Thanksgiving Day, my beloved and I were driving up to my parent's house. We were discussing past relationships and I mumbled something about my 3 year rule. Boo was baffled. What is a 3 year rule? I believe that relationships should not go past three years without an engagement, talk of marriage, or some sort of talk about long term plans for

Hello 2012!!!

2012-01-01T11:58:00.000-08:00

I'm not in Paris, but I wish I was! Maybe next year... Happy 2012 dear readers! I hope you brought the new year in right, got home safely, and are spending the day with the people you love. I didn't have a raging New Years Eve like I did last year, but it was a wonderful evening nonetheless. I woke up this morning thinking about how different my life is now from a year ago. Here are some of

Things I Have to Get Used to Now That Basketball is Back...

2011-12-19T22:57:00.000-08:00

Basketball season is finally (FINALLY!!!) upon us, and as a diehard Laker fan, I am somewhat confused. I'm watching the pre-season game versus the Clippers and I feel like I'm in an alternate universe. Here are a few of the things I have to get acclimated with during the shortened 2011-2012 season: 1) No Phil Jackson: I miss the man already. I'm going to try to be optimistic about Mike

Savvy Sisters: Necole Bitchie

2011-12-17T09:00:00.000-08:00

It's no secret, I am a Necole Bitchie fan. I love her site and her business model. And this is a great interview featuring her. I have always admired her willingness to share her story with her readers. I think she should write a book similar to Angel Law's of Concrete Loop (a must read if you are a blogger). Enjoy!

Chop It Up: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Child Support Struggle

2011-12-15T11:30:00.000-08:00

I have to apologize to some of my Facebook friends, as I went on a mini rant after watching the above scene from the Real Housewives of Atlanta last night. In the episode, Sheree Whitfield, ex-wife of former Atlanta Falcon Bob Whitfield, was served with a child support modification. Per Sheree, Bob has not paid child support in 4 years,

Savvy Sisters: Styl'n Unique Accessories

2011-12-11T12:36:00.001-08:00

The other night I had the pleasure of attending my dear friend's pop-up boutique and fashion show presentation. Styl'n Unique Accessories is a mobile boutique that pops up at Farmer's Markets and community events in San Diego. Or Tiffany can bring her unique accessories to you, so you can host an accessories party at your home or office. When I first heard of the concept, I didn't know what to

I Hate Everything: Breaking Dawn Edition

2011-12-04T11:12:00.001-08:00

I went to see Breaking Dawn yesterday with some of my girls. Of the entire Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn was my least favorite of the books. Who am I fooling? I hated Breaking Dawn, so of course I was dreading the movie. I went into the theater hoping there would be some Hollywood magic and they would drastically change some elements of the novel and I was so disappointed. Gratuitous Picture

Get More: Love And Hip Hop If you follow this blog you know I waste countless hours and brain cells watching reality TV. Sue me. I didn't really watch Love and Hip Hop on VH1 during the first season, because I found it it kind of boring. The second season premiered yesterday, and I did tune in, solely to see the above clip. Here's what led up to the punch (skip to 1:54 mark): Get

Jerry Sandusky is on an Express Train to Hell

2011-11-15T10:30:00.000-08:00

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy This whole Jerry Sandusky/Penn State debacle is really getting under my skin. I keep hearing about Joe Paterno and his heroic football program and blah, blah, blah. But what about this pedophile and the poor children he assaulted? I know that people are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but this guy has

Am I Wrong for Liking This?

2011-11-09T09:51:00.000-08:00

@KidFury has been posting Iggy Azalea's videos on his blog. The first one I saw was for Pu$$y, which I wasn't sold on (HA! That just made me laugh). But then he posted the video for My World, and I thought it was dope. However, I didn't listen to the lyrics all the way. I like Iggy's flow, she reminds me of a female Paul Wall. I don't know what's up with all the white girl references in her

Idiot Box: My New TV Obsessions

2011-10-20T13:49:00.000-07:00

It's fall, and that means it's time for new TV shows. But the new shows debuting this season didn't really interest me at all, other than The Playboy Club, and you see where that show is. One of my coworkers hipped me to a new show on ABC called Revenge. She said it was sooooo good, and I should watch it On Demand when I had a chance. Last weekend I watched the pilot, and I was hooked. I ended up

Shout out to Freshalina at Crunk & Disorderly for posting this video of 3D Na'Tee, a New Orleans rapper that surprisingly spits hot fire! Check out her video: She has a very polished delivery and her lyrics actually held my interest. Even though the video started off like a skit, I liked the concept and the execution, with the the 3 aspects of her personality. I also liked that she didn't rely

Random Thoughts: Happy Saturday!!!

2011-10-15T10:16:00.000-07:00

I am so happy it's Saturday chile! Busy day planned today, you know with laundry, cleaning, etc... But my mom's coming to spend the day with me and that's always a good time. The kid's bestie is coming over to spend the night. We're going to run over to the pumpkin patch, then come home and have a movie night. I have all the snacks in the world for the kids (and me) in the kitchen. And I get to
