I know I’m not the only one who went to check their bank account first thing this morning hoping to have my lil xtra from the IRS. But alas, I wasn’t one of the chosen (even though my SSN falls in the range to get paid today). *frown* But I stimulated the economy anyway and bought these:

 

 

 

Me and some girlfriends, the Fab Four as we like to call ourselves, we’re going to an art exhibit that one of our friends is debuting in tonight. I don’t even know the location of the event, but here’s hoping there’s free food and drinks (you can take the girl out of the hood….). Nah really though, it’ll be nice to get away from our usual Friday night chill spot and have an actual girls night out for once. It seems like when we go out there’s always a boyfriend or kid in tow.

 

The rest of the weekend will be spent outside I hope. We’re going to the Caribbean Festival at PGCC on Saturday, and my sister is having a BBQ celebrating my nephew’s high school graduation. I can’t believe that boy is graduating already, it seems like just yesterday he was still in Kindergarten. I guess that means I’m getting old *ahem* I mean they’re getting old. Another one of my nephews is graduating from high school in a few weeks too. This one had the nerve to put gift requests on the party invites though. But not like registering somewhere…I mean this knee-grow actually put a list of stuff he wants, along with where to find them. Example:

 

-Wii, Available at Best Buy, Amazon.com

-iPhone, Available at Cingular, et al

 

He sent his own invites out, and only a few made it out before his mother intercepted and sent more acceptable invites out, without gift requests. She was all embarrassed and mad. Don’t be mad, girl, you raised your son to be greedy like that. Umm hmm, I told you letting that boy get a *slightly used* Lexus truck for his birthday wasn’t smart.

 

Sunday we’re going to see The Color Purple at the Hippodrome in Bmore. I’m not sure what he did, but offering to go to a play must mean it was something bad, LOL.

 

Anyway, hope yall have a great weekend!
