I can no longer brag about being cavity free. I got my first filling in October of last year.

I don't like taking pills, medication, or visiting the doctor. I'm one of the wait until the last minute folks when it comes to such. However, I am definitely in favor of trying natural remedies.

Despite the above, this year I opted for my first flu shot. I did get sick a few weeks later. Fortunately, it wasn't a deathly ill kind of sick. Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe it wasn't.

Four or five years ago I stopped wearing a watch. The battery went dead on the one I was wearing at the time and I refused to relace it or buy a new watch. Since the time is all around me, I feel there is no need.

CSI, Law & Order, Cold Case - I can watch them over and over.

I don't particulary care for perfume per se. I opt for the heavy cream lotions by Bath & Body and Victoria's Secret instead.

I love a good Riesling and that's pretty much the only wine I really previously cared for. A few months ago I expanded my horizons and I found out that I love a good Cabernet Sauvignon along with other reds and whites. My taste buds are finally opening up to dry wines as well.

Interview From Cluizel

1. Three wishes that you can use on yourself...what are they?
a) I really need some height. In another life, at least six inches should do.

b) To have been smarter in math and science.

c) No more debt. Please just make it go away.


2. Stilettos/flats/sneakers?
Flats - I must have comfort over beauty, unless I can get both in a perfect world.


3. Favorite condiment?
That would depend on what I'm eating. If it's fries...ketchup, a hotdog....mustard, and grilled meat....bring on the barbecue sauce!!


4. Sisterlocks...any regrets? Would you do anything differently?

For the most part, I've had a pretty good journey and I have very few complaints in regards to Sisterlocks. In lieu of previous posts, perhaps I would have gone with bigger hairline locks.


All of my other issues were due to me having to come to terms and love the hair texture I was born with. I still have not given my loose natural hair a fair shot until this day. One of these days, I hope to rectify that.

5. If you could wave a magic wand and make an ex disappear would you? Why?

No, I don't think I would want to make any of my ex's disappear. I think they were good guys for the most part, just had some problems. And until a sista ties the knot, you never know.........

If you want to give your interview a shot. Feel free to let me know.

Tagged...here goes

1. I'm the oldest of 3 siblings. I'm 5 years older than my brother and 12 years older than my sister. That's why you see my mother and I hanging out so much. Lil sis isn't even old enough to drink yet.


2. The reason I haven't blogged about my husband or kids is because...there aren't any. It's just me.


3. I got my BS from Ithaca (across from Cornell). It was the only school I applied to outside of Ohio and they happened to give me the best financial aid package. The first time I ever stepped foot on campus was for the start of class. I have a long history of making blind faith decisions. Mom was happy I was far enough away from NYC.

4. I use to run the 200m and 4x200m relay for track and field in junior high. One day I told coach I wanted to try my hand at 100m hurdles. For someone being 5'0", it was an interesting experience but I didn't keep it up very long. I'm sure I was shorter than that back then.


5. My favorite ice cream is pralines and cream and butter pecan respectively. Haagen-Dazs makes wonderful flavors of these.

6. My passion for Sisterlocks stems from a) I am such a wannabe entrepreneur. I hold the utmost respect and admiration for Dr. Jo et al for taking on the entrepreneurial challenge of providing women the benefits of Sisterlocks. b) I had to put up with that nappy hair does not equal good BS for so long, it really feels good being on the opposite end of the spectrum with my SLs.

7. My favorite quote in this year's Sisterlock calendar is from March:
Who can deny the beauty I behold?

I am the beholder!

I'm still pondering what other tidbits of information I'm willing to share. It took me forever to come up with the responses I shared last time. But in an effort to keep the good spirits of the game, I will tag:

Onyxcherry
Cashana
Mrs Dee
Still Waters
Ja Stu
Detra
Jeri

Here are the rules: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to then report this on their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. They then need to tag 7 others and list their names on their blog. They are also asked to leave a comment for each of the tagged, letting them know they have been tagged and to read the blog.

How sweet of you Kim, Mel, and Locsuluv.

They asked and Now I Tell

1. In another life I would be a gymnast. When I was five years old, I thought it was fun to swing on the shower rail instead of washing my ears. One day the rail gave way and that was the end of swinging in the shower. Of course mom was not a happy camper about the ordeal.

2. I still have my wisdom teeth and no cavities.

3. I'm determined to become a millionaire within 10 years. I feel like I have two jobs at the moment; day job and chasing the next stock pick. I'll give an update in six months; laughing at the bank or crying in bankruptcy court.

4. The tattoo on my left arm says "Sexy." My personal motivation to not let things get too out of hand if you know what I mean. I've had it for nine years now. I also just remembered, when I wore a tank top to class one day - one of my professors made the class guess what the tattoo said.

5. I collect shot glasses of the places I've visited.


Given the fact that I rarely talk about myself outside of my hair, you would of thought this would have been easier for me. It wasn't. Go figure. Stepping outside of myself on my blog is a nice change of pace. Who shall I tag?
How about....

Oh yeah, I'm not sure what happened to my blogline subscription but I noticed it got dropped. It could of happened when I upgraded to the new blogger. If you were a previous or would like to for the future, please resubscribe. Thanks so much.

Since I was technically tagged twice:
6. I was in the labor room when my sister gave birth to my niece and front row at the birth canal. I almost got put of the room by the doctor because my knees started to wobble when he reached for the scissors. We just celebrated my niece's 2nd birthday January 16th.

7. I did a two week stint in London and went to Paris for a weekend via the Tram in May of 2003. I was taking a marketing research class toward my MBA. That's where I got my subway riding skills from which came in very handy during the Color Purple trip with you ladies. My mother swears I didn't know what I was talking about each time I told her she was about to send us in the wrong direction.

8. I had Lasik done three years ago.

9. I use to be a wanna be rapper back in the day. My best friend and I formed a rap duo Sugga and Spice. Yep, I was Spice.

10. I have about 50 pairs of shoes in my living room. I'm taking full advantage of my bachelorette lifestyle.
