Resons Why I`m Not Coming Over

I`m a homebody. I hate leaving my apartment. When I`m not with my apartment, I`m thinking about it. Sometimes, I call and text it to see what its doing while I`m away. That`s not weird at all, right?

I was never really big on sleepovers as a little girl. I mean, I didn`t mind my friends sleeping over my house but I never wanted to go over there. What if I get hungry in the middle of the night? I can`t just get up and go in your refrigerator. If want some juice, I have to ask you to get it for me. Why your mama keep it so cold in this house? I`m freezing in this thin little sheet that you gave me to wrap up in. Where do ya`ll keep the face towels? How am I supposed to dry off my hands in the bathroom? I thought everyone kept those cute paper towels by their bathroom sink. See? You don`t want me to spend the night.

This is the main reason why the roommate thing just isn`t my cup of tea. Been there, done that. Speaking of tea, I`ll always offer a warm cup with lemon and agave nectar upon entering my home. If I really like you, I`ll even add a shot of Hennessy in there for you. Ya`ll ain`t grown enough to kick it with me.

Moral of the story is, make your home enjoyable for others if you`re going to invite someone over. Don`t have me fishing for the extra toilet paper in the cabinets. Be ready and willing to set out that wifi password. Make sure you have extra blankets. Young man, put the toilet seat down. Sista, sweep up the weave in the bathroom. Let`s make this visit easy for everyone.

    Gurla!! Lol i never had a prob staying over at other ppls house as long as the didn't have any vicious animals (cats with claws, dogs bigger than a puppy or any other animals that weren't the first 2) and they had a game system(s) or movies if they didn't have cable. Oh, there had to be more than one kid in the house bcuz if i get into it with one, I gotta able to go to the sis room n talk bad about them til she make me mad and i go back to the other ones room. Plus, I'm a night owl so while errybodys asleep I'm up watching tv on mute til about 4 or 5 in the morning. 😁

    Girl, i was too afraid to ask for anything so if i got hungry during the night, I'd sneak into the kitchen and get something quiet and make sure I didn't eat enuff to make it noticeable some was missing. If I got thirsty in the middle of the night I'd go right into the bathroom, turn the faucet on super low and drink lil handfuls of water til my thirst was quenched. #sneaky

    When i had my apt i made sure my first time visitors couldn't see a speck of hair on the sink or the floor and i had a full roll of TP on deck. Doors to the rooms were closed bcuz A) nuthing in there pertains to today's visit and B) it's prolly a royal mess in there. But I agree the home should be welcoming. Especially if you've got a ffffffffiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnneee ass dude coming to "kick it". We'll def want him back for another guest appearance. 😉

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...
