"N" Search of Ecstasy

Well, I've just returned home from a long holiday weekend at my mom's. We had so much fun; we were laughing until we cried on several occassions.

Ya gurl is wore out though. Every nite we were up late (till 3-4am) and waking up too damn early for someone that went to bed at that time....I am soooooo dawg on sleepy I don't know what to do. It's only 8pm and I am already ready to go to sleep. There certainly won't be any unpacking tonight!

I want to write about my trip, but my body just won't let me. ~Sigh~

Okay you forced it outta me! But I'll make it quick.

To make a long story short, we had a fucking blast. I laughed so hard I was crying around there. Nothing too terribly special happened. We just drank (liquor), ate, shopped, and chilled bascially and still had the bomb diggady time! This was not unusual because my sisters and my uncles are junior comedians you see.

We watched a few movies like the “Skeleton Key”, “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” (creepy as hell), and “Chris Rock: Never Scared”, to name a few.

The Skeleton Key and The Exorcism of Emily Rose are the type of movies that I would only watch among a group of other people, so of course I jumped at the opportunity. Now I want you to imagine watching a Chris Rock, stand up comedy show with like 10-12 of your closest relatives (half drunk). That shit was fuckin’ hilarious, okay!

The highlight of the trip was the fact that we did our annual Secret Santa gift exchange early this year since everyone will not be able to get together again for Christmas. Since there is no one under 20 y/o on my mom’s side, every year we draw names and buy gifts for the person whose name we pull. Generally, we’ll spend anywhere from $80-100 on the gift for the person and it must be kept an absolute secret which makes it even more fun.

We had about 14 people to participate so it was pretty tight! We had so much fun doing this. My youngest sister always plays “Santa” (i.e. the coordinator). Between her and my crazy uncles who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent (ME), cutting the fool, the Secret Santa event was the bomb. I mean the fun and the laughs that we shared were priceless!

My mom had me this year and she got me exactly what I put on my wish list – Pleasures Exotic by Estee Lauder Perfume Gift Set and a night gown w/a matching robe.




I guess I'll just lay down and get ready for the Desperate Housewives A.K.A. Desperate House Hoes.

Anyhoo, this is the best that I can do!

Until tomorrow, tootle loo!


BTW, anybody else feelin' that new Mary J. Blige???
