Balling on Budget

Lately I've made a few changes in my lifestyle to save some money. these changes mostly involve my eating and drinking habits, because i'm a lush. 

stop eating after 8pm

-sometimes i work until 11pm

breakfast = smoothie

-easy to stockpile frozen berries, bananas are cheap, yogurt is cheap & honey is good for you

replace beer with cheap wine

-a glass of red wine a day is good for you right?

eat the largest meal of the day during lunch

eat half of a meal when going out

-less calories, less ass fat, more to eat later

bring only 20 bucks to trader joes

-i have a problem when i go here. i could buy the entire store

snack = smoothie

no more happy hour

- the end of being a lush

geez i hope these things work.

The Big Chop!

ok maybe. 

but not really.

if i claim this new-do to be a big chop millions of twa's (teenie weenie afro's) would have my neck.

i've finally taken the big plunge to chop off my hair. i have been threatening to do this for about 3 years now, ever since i decided to stop relaxing my hair. the result? meh. i mean, its not amazing, but i have to live with it. i need to figure out how to style and manage my hair and to keep up my sexy status! 

more than anything its a freeing feeling. 

i love having the hair off of my back but i will miss the swing if nothing else. many people question my 'blackness' if you will and even joke about the fact that i call myself the tokenblakchick. i think its funny! but yes i'm black, even african american and i just went natural. you can't be white and do that. right? 

its going to be a struggle.

its going to be irritating. 

its going to make my stronger. 

its going to make me more independent. 

and yes, i'm psyching myself up right now. 

kiss my ass.

New Favorite Pastime

Have you ever had hookah?

Its quite possibly the most enjoyable hobby that I have. If you you can call that a hobby I guess. 

Over the past few years I have discovered that hookah has many elements involved. You have to have the right amount of water, good tobacco, the right coals and of course the appropriate company.  Sometimes the company thing really doesn't come through. Sometimes you end up sitting on your couch, drinking an entire bottle of white wine while watching How I Met Your Mother. Its not so bad. Its actually like having a party in your face that you watch go by very very v-e-r-y slowly. 

The head rush that you get from the hookah is unlike anything else. It is a sure thing after enough hits and a lot of very deep breaths. Its like a guaranteed good time and I plan on indulging in it over and over again for the rest of my life. If nothing else I can collect hookahs and keep them on the mantle of my house.... when the market gets better and I am able to buy one!

happy new year 

I'm the luckiest fucking girl alive.
