I'm In the "A".....

Hi Y'all!!!! Miss me??  I've been crazy busy pretty much since the day my behind got here.  Who knew that moving 800-ish miles would be so exhausting.  This is a post is just some random thoughts, pics & word vomit!!!

1. I moved to Atlanta, GA! (duh)

Car drive by pic



Another drive by pic... Wonder if they are hiring?



2. I'm living with my cousin and her roommate in College Park or 'Colli Park', they give me a serious side-eye when I say 'College Park'. Actually they think I talk really 'weird'...  Sometimes we don't understand each other, it's like the UN in there or thurr.... I should of took Southern as a second language instead of Spanish...

3. I met a pimp at the Quick Trip or QT, I politely told him I'm not interested in that line of work and if I was I'd be a freelance whore.



4. I get lost everywhere I go....  I think my GPS called me retarded......

5. It's in the mid 50's and it's like an emergency, in CT 50's now is a blessing! Now it's in the high 60's and supposed to be back in the low 70's.  The emergency is over....

6. I'm trying to be more polite and saying 'thank you' all the time.

7. Sometimes I use my fake Scarlett O'Hara accent to blend in when I don't feel like talking.... Everybody down here talks to you..... For like 10mins.....

8. If one more chick or gay man touches my hair I'm gonna cut them! I thought this was like the weave capital? Please don't touch my Malaysian hair without asking......

9. I went to lunch with Ms. Jaimie she ordered cheese grits like Britney Spears..... 



10. Grits are gross.... Even with cheese.....


11. I feel hella fat, I need to stay away from fried chicken or fried anything.........

12. So this is where all the black people are.....  It's really weird being the majority.  All my life I was the 'token'... Now I have to find something else to make me stand out, or find the white people.

13. The 'ethnic' hair care 'sections' are actual aisles, not a corner of a section.

14. They sell cheap weave hair in Walmart.... You can also go to Walmart and get your taxes done, eyes checked, hair did, nails & toes did, grab some McDonalds.........

15. I swear I saw real cotton on the roads on the drive down here.  It made my happy that those days are over. I'm a NW50 which would make me a field slave..........



16. The man pickins at Starbucks and Borders are bountiful!!! I love a man in a coffee shop or bookstore....

17. I've been called 'bougie', lol

18. The raised Aerobed is a godsend!!!!



19. I found the 'Asian' part of town!!  Stocked up on candy, snacks, & got my own bottle Nouc Mam! I'm gonna cook stuff now Pam Can Cook Style


 20. My cousin in Barnesville, GA is a black cowboy!!!!

Cinnamon & Caramel (don't know why the horses have stripper names...)



Pomogrante Tree


Like Farmville on FB but these were real & you don't get coins for picking them.  I thought Pomograntes were some kinda exotic tropical magic fruit....

21. I went to Munford, Alabama to see the land that my g'ma left to me & my mom....   It was umm interesting...... I met my cousin Ms. Wilson....  She's 87 and strapped!!! Glad we called before showing up, she shoots first then asks questions.....

Yeah Alabmam!





So that's all for now!!!  I'll  be back to regular posting soon......  I have a few product reviews to do.

Luv Y'all!
   Mean It!!
