Hey Everybody.  What's goindg on?  So my birthday is in one more week.  I am thinking positive and telling myself that all the folks that say they are going to share in the happiness of my 30th birthday will actually show up. 

I usually don't post on the weekends b/c life is commanding so much of my other attention but believe it or not, I found a free moment.  It's pretty quiet around the house b/c my husband and I argued until there was nothing else meaningful to say.  About what, you ask...washing the  dishes.  So trivial I know but hey in the end, I didn't have to clean up everthing myself and he actually helped by washing the dishes.  Yes, I still cooked dinner, bathed and dressed our child, combed her hair, dumpted the trash, cleaned the bedroom and bathroom, and currently have laundry going.  But he is walking around like King of the Jungle b/c he did the dishes.  But you know what they say, "baby steps."  In the meantime, I just breathe.

Last night we went to Legacy Books and Cafe to watch a boxing match.  It was Miguel Cotto and Sugar Shane Mosley.  The fight went down at Madison Square Garden (the big house!).  It was a good azz fight.  Cotto was able to win the fight and keep his belt, but it was close.  I honestly think Sugar Shane had him, but I wasn't judging was I?  Speaking of judging, the crazy thing was  one of the actual judges had only judged 2 fights prior to last night.  Now that was crazy.  Cotto is 27 and Mosley is 36 so I guess age really "ain't nothin but a number"

While at Legacy I ended up seeing a guy who used to live in my college dorm, George.  He had to be one of the first people I met at MU b/c we got to the dorms around the same time.  I recall coining him as somebody that wanted to let people know what he had (or what his parents had) and where he came from, etc.  That mindset was all new to me b/c I came from the country where folks already knew your business.  I wasn't up on the latest bragging and boasting but I soon learned that many of my other fellow MU students had this art mastered as well.  All that aside, he was cool people but I must say that Saturday night was my second time running into him.  The first time was about a year ago and he was with a chic and I smiled and approached him as if I was going to say hi, how are you, etc.  (you know, the regular niceties) but he immediately gave off a nonchalant wave so you know that was my que to make my next move my best move and keep on keepin on.  Well, he decided to speak last night and I don't get caught up in petty mess so I greeted him kindly and he gave me a hug.  At that point I felt obligated to introduce him to Myron.  Well Myron was eating wings and fries and looked like he could care less who I was talking too.  It was so funny, he gave George the pound with his elbow and turned back around to his plate. CLASSIC

So the Rams actually decided to show up today.  They currently have a huge lead of New Orleans.  It's the 4th quarter and the score is 34 to 7.  Why couldn't they play like that when we went to the game?  I guess they won't be 0-16 afterall.   Speaking of football, the Mizzou football club is still whoopin azz and taking names. The tigers had two touchdown scoring plays and held Texas A&M to one TD to pull off a 40-26 victory at home.  This makes their record (9-1, 5-1 Big 12.) This is the Tigers' best season since 1969.  Now 69, that was a good year...teeheehee.  I can't wait for them to play Kansas.  I might have to take a road trip for that one.

Last night while getting ready for the fight, Myron was like, "And don't get all dressed up..."  So I had to ask him to expand on that.  He said I wear heels too much and makeup and basically all the stuff that caught his attention when he met me and still tends to catch the attention of other guys too.  He wanted me to wear a little t-shirt and some tennis shoes....yeah right, on a Saturday night.  WHATEVER.  So then he told me nevermind and to completley ignore his statement, funny.  With that said, I want to bring y'all up to speed on this fall's fashion must haves and faux paus.

One, this fall the shoe boot is in full force and the pointed stilletto hill is out. 

No more triple layering shirts on top of shirts on top of shirts.  This makes even the slimmest chic start to look frumpy.  Well, now it's all about the more tailored 1940s and 1920s look. 

Also, the big belt has survived another season and we will continue to see this accesory hugging the waist of trendsetters around the globe.

You don't have to be in kindergarten to rock fun tights any longer.  Opaque tights are a must have this season.  But please leave the right mod inspired beads at home.  I know, I know you have beads, bracelets, and earrings in every color from white, red, blue, orange,  yellow, neon green (shall I go on), but those days are gone, retire them now and save some face.

This fall's accessories are all about bold and gold.  Put that silver away and go for the gold.  Atleast  that's what the fashion experts are crying.

So you can take heed to these fashion do's and don'ts or you can be like me and wear what the hell you want to wear.
