How I Missed Thee!

So, as some of you know, my little Mi-ster is currently 6 months old. Growing fast, talking, laughing and just being the cutest darn thing smokin'! (Not really smokin, but you get the slang) I just never thought she would be so developed mentally at this age. Sure, I know she knows I'm mommy. The boobie-giver. The one she kicks in the back to wake up in the morning then laughs at me because I look like I just got ran over by a truck.

I just never thought this would happen now...

So, I let Mia go visit her Papa on.... Tuesday. Every kid needs to see their father every once in a while, right? I drop her off, say bye, and head my little booty back home for some well deserved T.L.C, and I'm not talking about the band. *Comedic drums: buhdum-dum*

By about 9pm, I get a text from father saying "Can you get her; she's being very fussy." Of course I'll get her, but it was raining like a herd giraffes were peeing on my house so I told him I'd get her in a little when the rain lets up a little. Mostly because I had just did my hair earlier & it was lookin straight BOMB, yo! And its not too safe to be out driving in a freakin' hurricane with a baby. (Duh) He then offered to take her home & I was thinking "dang... she must be straight trippin' if he can't wait to take her home..."

My Mia arrives home & thank God the rain had let up alot cuz she woulda been hella wet. (I don't think I packed a blanket for him to throw over her car seat) I looked at my stink & she looked kinda irritated but I just thought "she fell asleep during the little 5 minute ride home". When I took her out of the car seat, she just "hugged" me & layed her head on my shoulder. I thought oh, she must be tired. I sat in the rocking chair to rock her back to sleep.

When I got up to put her down, I saw she was wide awake. I picked her back up & she layed her head back on my shoulder & gave me another "hug".

She stayed like this for about 15 minutes, and the first thing I thought was "aww... my little baby missed me that much!" She has never done something like this before. I guess because I'm around her like her conjoined twin, and she realized "Mommy is gone. I want mommy!!"

I know eventually she might be saying "I hate mommy. Why won't she go somewhere so I can b free. Gosh!" But for now, it's nice that she finds comfort in me when she feels bad, feels sick, or is lonely.

After all, they say there is nothing that can compare to a mother's love...

Laughing Out Loud

I love some of these funny tees. I think they're funny. Well, some are funny. Other are entertaining. Like if you saw someone in the mall & read one of these shirts, you'd be like "Wow." or LOL.

Here are some of the shirts I thought were entertaining...

A little nerd joke.

This one was good, but I say Tacos.

But all of these funny t-shirts can be found at www.clutchtees.com where you can buy them yourself! yay! Just thought I'd let you all know & have a nice laugh.

Sushi + Swine Flu = Qué?

So I was skimming the internet & came across this article about the swine flu. we all know about it, got scared & now it has pretty much subsided to just a little trickle instead of the waterfall of news & reports we had about a month or two ago. Sheesh...

You can find the original article here or just go to www.healthyfellow.com and read some other articles about health things & such.

The article was mostly about the consumption of fish oil & how it might be bad for you, may have a link to swine flu, etc... Researchers did a study on mice that were fed fish oil & corn oil rish deits & found the mice who had the fish oil had a slightly higher mortality rate than the other...

I know. We all thought fish oil was good for us, but then again, what is good for us anymore? Too much water can poison you body, too many vitamins can do the same...

But the big part of this study is that the CD8+ & CD14+ cells (found in the spleen to fight off infection & diseases) were less in the fish oil mice than the corn oil mice. Why is this important? Well, lower immune system + swine flu = NOT GOOD.

They also found that children who were FORCED to take fish oil (like my self when I was a youngster) had lower CD8+ and CD14+ cells.... Yeah. Thanks mom for forcing me to drink nasty crap & lower my immune system so I can't fight off the killer pigs... Show you cared a lot... (Like my sarcasm?!)

So what can we say from this? Wash your hands, use Germ-X & wear those stylish face masks!

And don't forget to thank you mothers & fathers for forcing you to drink/swallow that nasty fish oil as a kid. I know I will!

lol. Fish Oil.

You're full of junk!

So, I still haven't lost those last five pounds of baby weight & it made me angry.

So I decided to do research on random foods that weren't so great to see if maybe I was eating them too much & maybe cut that junk back.

So I went to www.diettogo.com/blog and started to read some of the blogs. They are SO interesting! Like work outs that aren't good for you, workouts that are good for you, why you cant lose those last 10 pounds, but the 1 I was looking for was at the bottom. The top 10 worst foods.

Gosh. Doughnuts, margarine, Fruit Loops, Gatorade, Pop Tarts, Pringles, Pepsi, crackers & not my beloved bologna!!

Acutally... I think bologna is gross... I don't even think people know what it is... ugh...

Anyway. But it got me thinking...

"Wow... A lot of unhealthy foods are surrounding me... and what should I do about it?"

What should I do??

I should BOYCOTT!! No... that wouldn't do anything...

But what could a person do to try to eat healthier?

One thing.

SELF-CONTROL.

Yes, it is hard... But you can do it!

So that's what I shall do.

Try to cut out junk food as much as I can. Workout. (as much as I can) and then I'll be sexy again!!

For all you other dieters, make sure to check out www.diettogo.com/blog and read about ways to to get healthy with me!!

I'll be Phở-King!

I know. If you get the title... Its pretty funny ^____^

**Laughs at self for such a creative pun**

But ANYWAY! the reason for the pun.

Since I am an offical Pho addict, I decided to eat at every Pho-making restaurant in the Gwinnett area and some in Atlanta to find out where the best pho is! Woo-woo!!

Now some of you out there are wondering, "What the f**k is 'foe'?"

Well first of all, it is pronouced "fuh" like ur about to say the f-bomb with out the "k".

Secondly, it is the best damn thang out there to eat when ur just hella hungry and want a big bowl of lovin' & goodness. It will keep you full for hours.

Usually if I know I'm gonna have pho that day, i try to skip a meal so I can fill up & finish the bowl. mmmmm.... my mouth is watering...

Omg... just look at it... **Dies a little from joy**

So here is a list of places I plan to go to to try out theif pho and see which is better. Then I'll write my reviews on each!

#1 Pho Mimi

#2 Cali Cafe

#3 Saigon Cafe

#4 What the Pho

#5 Miss Saigon Vietnamese Cuisine

#6 Pheonix Noodle Cafe

#7 LA Pho

That's all I can think of now, but if you want to leave suggestions or join me on my pho quest, just let me know & we can get this party started!!

=D

It's not her fault she's so irresistible...

And the topic of the day! :

Cheaters, Players, Pimps and Hoes.

Sure, the hoes are kind of random, but hey! It went along with the topic.

You may be thinking, "Why Raven? Why such a controversial, hurtful, sexful topic?!"

Well, that's exactly why. It's a controversial, hurtful, sexful topic.

As I sit here & munch on my brownie & tortilla chips & drink my fruit punch, I wonder "Why am I having preggy craving now?" and "What would I do if I enountered a cheater, player, pimp or hoe? What would I do it I was the cheater, player, or pimp?" (Excluded the hoe on there. I'd never be that) So here are my opinions:

+If someone cheated on me (and someone has) I'd do this...

Of course he didnt have a car back then, but it's a very nice idea...

I could never tolerate a cheater and I'll put my foot down! (On his penis) It just shows yu cant trust him and what's the point of being with someone you cant trust?

+If I was the cheater... well, that wouldn't happen. I'd break up with someone before I'd go find someone else. Why cause the drama? No. Why be greedy?!

+If someone played me... Please see above. My goodness. He better have some good health insurance too. That's all I gotta say. (lol) No. I'd just drop him like it was hot and move on the the next best thing. It's his loss. So who cares? Sure, I'd be pissed as a muther, but it's just another guy who showed me his true face. Now if the "game" continued for a long time and he didn't tell me, then that's when imma have to turn into my ghetto alter ego & go at him. End of story.

+If I was the player, I'd be pretty darn good at my game, yo! ;]

But I'm not that way, so this wouldnt happen... But if I was the flirty-bitch type, then I'd be da bomb. Hang with a different guy everyday!

Now the pimpin's part... If I was a pimp, I'd get that tattooed on my side. I'd never encounter a pimp because I'm not a hoe. So that's done. But back to my pimp status, I'd be the #1 male pimp out there. Slappin', havin em turn some tricks, and be hella rich. *ahhhh* Beautiful.

But in all, this is more about leaving people who are not bringing you up.

If you know your girl or guy is a cheater, you can find WAY better. You dont have to settle just for them.

If you're talking to a player, why stay? (Unless you like that kind of junk) You can find someone who will actually commit to you and only you.

If you're a cheater, just admit it. It saves so much time wasted, much less stress trying to hide something and so much better because you're honest. And everyone loves an honest person!

If you're a player... Well... stop. We already have too many STDs being spread around our young age group and everyone know you ain't gettin' tested like you should be. Every 6 months? Every 6 months my ass...

No one wants this...

But everyone wants this...

And not hear this...
