It's the Most...

wonderful tiiiiiiiime of the year!!!!

It is Thursday.  Yes, I have work in the morning but, guess what?

NO KIDS!!

UGH, these last days of school worked my NERVE!!  and the amount of money spent!!!!  Well, I made sure not to spend too much; I bought some Dora popsicles (instead of publicks) so I blew a whole $4.25... them joints are BANGIN!!  Somethings I just can't buy store brand... like feminine products and salsa.

Any hoo, I thought about having a end of the year party but that costs money!!!  I just played it off as a pajama jam.  We relaxed in our jammies with popcorn and popsicles. HOLLA!!!

Summertime is here, Dei, what's on your agenda?  

Well... I plan on cleaning my classroom, going out to lunch with the K-Block (kindergarten team), and listening to MY CDs (not kidz bop or anything rated G) really loud for the first time in a long time!!!! and then

nothing.  I plan on doing nothing.  Office Space?  Meet Teacher Stace.

I'm lying.  

Thrusday afternoon, I get the hair done...

Friday, I meet with the principal who is TOOOOO geeked I volunteered to be the patrol sponsor, then I attend the faculty luncheon, 

Saturday, I'm going to a sorority brunch with guest speaker DONNA*BRAZILE (YES!!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HER!!!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!)

Sunday, I hope I can make it to church

and the rest is in the air, just like I LOVE it.  Maybe I'll go to Hollywood, maybe I'll go to the beach, maybe I'll watch movies, maybe do an SVU marathon...

THANK-YOU, LORD!!! FOR ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR!!!

Hotness

The Record Dish has a new post. It's short and sweet.


Plus, read the previous post and thank me later.



The lumberjack plaid I called out has finally made its way into the malls of So.Fla.

*sigh*


Men, break out your gingham.


AM I REPEATING MYSELF!?!?!?

I feel like I work at Jeffery's

(best.skit.EVER!!!)

Random Day

1. Ummm, I have FIVE pairs of Chucks.
Pink, Cream, Green, Yellow, Red.

Really, Stace?

The next number I have multiples of is 3. Then there are a lot of fraternal twins


2. I don't think I'm going to get tired of American Boi. Estelle is my GIRL! and you know I love 'Ye

3. I just found out an ex, the first boyfriend I had at FAM, passed away last week. Gastric bypass gone wrong. I was shocked, more so by how big he must have gotten to need gastric bypass.

4. I have to get my chronic sinusitis in order. Just found out my grand uncle and Ghanian godfather found multiple myelomas in his nasal cavity. He's been a long time sufferer of sinusitis.

5. I still can't open my mouth to its widest cause of what the ortho tech did to me and the resulting infection. I was almost in tears trying to eat a breakfast sandwich from Micki Dee's this past Tuesday

6. Last week, I was thinking if marriage is what Drew and I do on the weekends but everyday, I'm not sure I want that. Kinda boring.

7. I still don't know what the Poke feature on Stacebook means. Mini Me said it's to get someone's attention. the person who has been poking me EVERYDAY has my phone number and unlimited text... I don't know what the problem is.

8. My car has been at the shop since yesterday evening. You know how much money that thing is going to cost if its been getting worked on for 24 hours? Now I know they aren't working on it round the clock but damn! Where is my Tima?!

9. Diana Ross is my celebrity idol. I love her almost as much as I love MJJ. When I was younger, I used to fluff out my hair out and sing along to her videos; much to the dismay of Mom Dukes

10. Drew and I have challenged Dani and Shayne to a game night. Jam and Rah, Joy and Kesi, Patti and PHI, La and BOB, y'all are next in our Will and Grace-esque domination.

11. I am seriously going to have a coffee table book of children's art one day. It's like invented spelling without words. So straight to the point and literal. and don't let there be a caption like, "It is sunee. We can rid bix" (It is sunny. We can ride bikes. the long 'I' is tricky, as is the trailing 'y')

12. On the way home from work on Friday, I realized I only want one child. A girl with the prettiest name I can think of. But that can be lonely...

13. I really want a black Coach with gold hardware. This one. But she's too big for me. I cyber tried her on.

14. I think I might send myself some flowers on Friday. Naw, I'll just get some from Publicks.

15. I'm bored.

16. I'm waiting for 'Single Ladies' to come on the radio while Drew and I are in the car so I can abruptly ask Drew if/when he's going to put a ring on it. I think that would be an awesome ice breaker.

17. I need new music in my life.

18. I think I need a good cry. I feel like I'm on emotional auto-pilot

19. My bro is turing 25 this Thursday. I can't believe it. I hope 25 is as good for him as it was for me. Then there's the other side of 25...

20. I burst Jameil's bubble about going to the beach in Virginia in October and it was funny.


-log out-

Wow.

I left my phone at school :-(

How will I check CNN at 5am without getting out of bed? and my she-mail? and bacefook???

I left school with plans to go to Narnes and Boble and buy some books for my classroom library.

I did just that but...






I accidently fell in CBCG before I got to the bookstore.

They had this 70% off sign right in front; in the brightest red...

They had their winter wear on sale...



I saw a jacket I liked. Kinda like the one from Ranana Bepublic I haven't worn yet, but khaki. I would've preferred it in black...

I didn't get it.




I saw this sweater dress in the prettiest cream color. Double breasted with big black buttons. Knee length and fit just right.

I didn't get it.




They had a winter white waist length pea coat. A smidgen too big but CBCG runs big (on me at least) and I'm sure I'd be wearing more than a tee shirt under it...

I got it.


Then this gray dress that had nothing to do with anything but it was gray and I don't have a nice gray dress and I love gray clothes so much, I seriously would wear a gray wedding dress and want gray as a wedding color if it wasn't the same color as eeyore and everything else drab or hazy... *sigh* run on sentence, I know, train of thought, hop on.

That thing was the most expensive item I have EVER bought for myself. Like, too much for one piece of clothing that wasn't leather, cashmere or embroidered in 24k gold thread.
The dress was more expensive than the wool COAT!

*sigh*

Thinking about cutting my hair... the chick on the zertec commercial has a Stacie haircut. A long-ish, layered bob.

cute.

On a brighter note, my new GQ came today. I've seen LeBron look better.

do it for the kids

but why does he have the cutest little girls!?! (rubs uterus and hopes for twins) especially that d'lila. now jessie? baditude already...

New Vid

please go to youtube and view! tell your friends! DONATE!! HELP!

Yes We Can!

you know I'm trying to teach her the "fist bump" right?

It's The Most...

wonderful time... of the year!

That's a Stap.les commercial.  It shows a dad riding on a shopping cart throwing school supplies in it; joyfully skipping and picking up notebooks... then you see the kids in the background looking like, "yeah? it's the most wonderful time of the year?  bet."

I am kind of excited to go back to school but all the preparation is stressing me out.  Word walls, behavior charts, number lines, random ass posters of bears wearing certain colors, rules, code of conduct, center signs...

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Nevertheless, I will do what I got to do before "Meet the Teacher" on Thursday night and work it out from now till June.

180 days left

Who gets Martin Scorcese to direct your MUSIC video??? MICHAEL JOE JACKSON!! (its not the extended version that's on DVDs)


I remember getting the 'Ba.d' record for Christmas and asking my mom why MJJ looked white. That was back in '88.

I remember standing in line and waiting to be one of the first to get Dan,gerous. I was in 3rd grade. I danced to 'Ja;m' at summer camp that year.

waiting in line with my dad for HIStory at Be.st Buy. I was going to 8th grade. I remember stalking MT,V for the video premiere of S.cream and trying to win the guitar he smashed.

Sophomore year in college, I hit up a friend of a friend to take me to the mall so I could get Invincibl.e the day it came out. There was no line :-(


Shout outs to The Smoking Section and the Aphillia.tes for this mixtape to add to my formerly complete MJJ collection!!! and I just copped that Outskirts: lost Ou.tkast Remixes!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!




P.S. peep that ring. that's the star i wanted!! ok, not as big...

Live Free or Die Trying

Yeah, I'm so not eating beef anymore. Solely based on this clip. Wouldn't you run for your life?

the latest

so Drew's band (M.awon) has another video out. They're trying to get picked up by Haiti's Karn.aval officials and they have submitted their carnival track and video to the proper authorities. The song was written by ralph (of course); he and Drew sat in his kitchen with a make-shift studio and recorded it bit by bit with drew's keys (keyboard) and some conga drums Finally, they got in a studio and worked it out with actual female vocals, cuss, drums, bass, lead guitar, etc. The video? shot in, on, around Ralph's showroom. The guest guitar player is haiti's jimi hendr.ix (Dad.ou.Pasqu.et, one of the greatest to touch the axe). He wrote a carnival track, heard this one and refused to play his again. Then he asked if he could play on theirs :-)

I have NO IDEA what they are saying but the beat is catchy as hell!



and check out my Dreezy looking like a white Rick.Ro.ss.

Y.on Jou

drew's group's 1st video.


.
the lead singer is also a model (ralph lau.ren shows and ads, be.yonce videos, just to name a few)
a nautical or maritime engineer
remember the showroom i started art basel out at? yeah, he also makes furniture

the dred? he's a psychologist.
the chick? opera trained vocalist, style editor for a miami newspaper
drew? math and physical sciences (bio, chems, physics, etc) genius


and all they want to do is make good haitian music. more power to the "more than meets the eye" group!
