!This blogging stuff is great! I'm hooked. Every morning, it's eggs, bacon, and Post. Keep up the good work. Today is Monday, Nov. 5, 2007, 8:58am. I'm just dropping by to wish you a great day, and to let you know Manic Monday is up. You just have to make the top banners and your pictures smaller; the pumpkin banner crosses right into the Tag Board, and the pic of the boys on the field pushes way past your borders, which stretches out the whole page. I think you look cute as Little Red Riding Hood, though. I'll bet the hubby liked it, too! Just popping in to wish you a great Monday. Drop on by and check out today's Manic Monday edition - I think you'll get quite a laugh out of it! 
Greetings. How art thou? I had an eventful weekend and you?
Friday after work I went to the beauty salon. I was trying out a new stylist, Leslie. She was definitely a character but experienced in hair care. When I entered the shop Leslie and a couple of other women were having a heated discussion regarding what sounded like a co-worker that used to work there that still has a relationship with the owner (possibly sexual but never clarified during my earhustling). Well this ex-coworker continues to drop into the salon and then go back and drop dime to the owner about what's going on when he's not around. Well, Leslie was pretty much threatening to whoop the ex-coworker cat raggedy if she ever ran her mouth about her again. She also went on to say how she might start looking for a job at the boat, or elsewhere because she doesn't need the job in the shop to keep food on her table. So of course, I'm thinking great, even if I do end up liking Leslie, it sounds like she already has 9 toes out the door. She might not even be here the next time I want to get my hair done. After her heated beauty-shop inspired conversation was over with her lady friends, she looked me in the eye, put on a car-salesman's smile and said, "Hi baby, I'm Leslie. How are you today?" as if I had just walked in the salon at that moment and hadn't already been exposed to her true colors....CLASSIC. The end result was really good and I like my new do. Leslie is located at Beauty Express in the St. Louis Mills Mall. If your hair is looking like witchy-poo and you are in need of a stylist, call Leslie. You better catch her while you can. She has 25-plus years of hair care experience, and she can get you in as early as the same day.
Saturday one of my college friends, Miyaka, was in town so we kicked it. She was staying at the Sheraton in Clayton. After a little shopping, manicure and Cheesecake Factory, Miyaka and I hooked up and had a couple of drinks before heading to The Loft. I had to borrow some of her makeup because I dropped my compact in my car while I was driving and the car ate it. It completely dissappeared. That was two days ago and I still haven't found it. So anyhoot, Miyaka and I left Clayton, hopped on Highway 40 and headed towards The Loft. On the way down, I was able to tell her about a mutual friend who just had a baby and about how much of an azzhole her husband is. Once we made it to The Loft, it was a nice crowd, but not packed in like sardines (yet) because it was only about 11 p.m. There were actually one or two table left occupied so we got another drink and reserved our spot.
"Oh, we about to upstage these black beotches tonight honey."
"Guuurl, I know. Oooh, you lookin too fly in them earrings."
"Aww, you no what L.L. said, 'bamboo earrings, atleast two pair."
"Aw snap, we got us an around the way girl. It must be vanilla b/c chocolate don't taste like that."
Okay, let me stop. Now I'm going to have to try to explain this to all of my white friends.
I think Miyaka and I had the most fun when we witnessed a horrible attempt by a drunk woman to give her man a table dance. He was looking so embarrassed and disgusted with her, yet she continued to jerk and seize (I think in her mind, she thought she was rolling and grooving really sexy.) As she thrust her most private areas on him, he sat on the stool looking like he wanted to shrink and dissappear. The bad thing was I was laughing, uncontrollably and the guy happened to look up and see me. Now my good drinking azz didn't have the since to look away. Instead, I quickly closed my eyes, so he wouldn't see me looking and laughing at them. Now, Miyaka almost died when she saw me do that, and she went on to say, "Marquita, why did you close your eyes like that. You act like just because you can't see him he can't see you." Priceless. The couple left a few seconds after that. And Miyaka had to point out that they guy was shorter standing up than he was sitting down. This was so amusing to us and we just couldn't get over that. But a drunk ain't ish. Because the next day when I thought about it, I realized he was sitting on a stool, which is why he was much shorter, after he hopped down and was standing ground level. But at the time, we had had way too much liquor to try to rationalize.

Today is the day that Michael Vick is schedules to enter a guilty plea to the federal dogfighting charges. Several days ago in a court filing he admitted to supplying the majority of the gambling funds for the fights and knew of the killings of poorly performing dogs.
Of course, there will be a host of journalist and animal lovers and of course just nosy folks trying to attend the hearing today. The Washington Post reported a line had already formed 4 hours prior to the scheduled hearing time.
It is reported that the prosecution is recommenidng a jail sentence between 12-18 months. Currently he has been suspended from the NFL without pay. According to ESPN sports analyst, Stephen A. Smith, Vick will not bounce back from this. He is the most athletic quarter back the league has seen but he is not a great passer. There is no way he can be out for an extended amount of time and then re-enter the NFL as a viable quarter back. Also, Nike has terminated their contracts with Vick and the Falcons will attempt to recoup tens of millions of dollars in bonuses.
The Washington Post reported, "In his submission to the court, Vick admitted he supplied money for the ring and agreed to the killing of several animals who were put to death through the "collective efforts" of the group. He did not explicitly admit to helping kill the dogs."
There are just as many Vick supporters and animal lovers in this case. Many fans are saying we all make bad decsions and they hope Vick hangs in there for the long run. I like to believe in the saying, just because you did the things they say you did. It doesn't have to make you the person that they say you are."
