Happy Hallowen (all late & sh!t).............

Hey Y'all!!!!  Hope everybody had a good Halloween!!  Mine was ok...  I just wore my regular clothes and said that I was a "New Yorker"...  A friend of mine came up or actually over from Nashville and we met up with some of his friends and went to dinner at a restuarant in Atlantic Station called Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro, which was actually really good.  I guess it's kinda 'cajun' themed, and I was having a hard time with the menu, lol Asking questions like "What's a Po-boy?", "Do crawfish taste like shrimp?". "What's the deal with sweet tea"?
I kept it Northern style and had the Chicken, Shrimp & Sausage Penne~ Italian sausage sauteed with chicken & shrimp, tossed with penne pasta in a tomato basil cream sauce & topped with parmesan cheese. Except I had alfredo sauce FATTY ALERT! I don't have any food porn to share b/c I was with a whole group of people who I didn't know and felt shy about busting out my camera to take food porn even though I really wanted to!  The food was really good, and the atmosphere was great! So here's some stolen porn from there menu.
 Shrimp, Crab & Avocado Salad



BBQ Shrimp Linguine


Their desserts looked amazing and yummy, but since we had plans to go out after dinner and I wanted my pants to still fit I declined........
:(

After dinner we made a stop to pick up some drinks and decide where to go.  My cousin gave us a few suggestions and since it was getting late we decided to go to club LIFE........  Oh I don't think I'm Atlanta "we be clubbin" kinda girl... I'm too old or something...
#1 I don't wait on lines to get in clubs....  I need to get my contacts right down here or stay my behind at home.

#2 I don't pay a $20 cover charge to roll into a club!!!!  Do you know much many drinks equal $20!!!

#3 Well at Club LIFE $20 = 2 drinks, not cool for the unemployed!!!  Thankfully, I was smart enough to pre-game a bit before we went out, but waiting outside on the damn line made me lose my buzz....

#4 PEOPLE please don't smoke weed in the club!!!  I'm job hunting and if I have to pee in a cup to get a job I don't want my results skewed because LaQusisha & Deroy were smoking out the entire club.

A lot of people had on costumes and a lot of girls had on "outfits" that looked like they should be costumes. My spy pics didn't come out to goos and I'm not in any of them....
 

 But I did record some video with my......
KENDALL CLUBIN' CAM


My cousin Monica dressed up my little cousin Imani as a Ice Princess!!!  She's too cute!!!
 
Monica put her on display at her boutique


She's only 6, but the girl knows how to smile with her eyes!


 I ♥ my little cousin!


How can you not ♥ a face like this? She's missing like 6 baby teeth, lol


Luv Y'all!!

Fusion Cuisine & A Real Happy Meal!

Hi Y'all! I've been a naughty girl the last two days! Eating (nothing like Ms. Supervillian , I just don't have paper like that!) haulin', and mailbox stalking! On Thursday night I went on a girl date with the lovely "C" to celebrate her new JOB!! We both got laid off in Aug :(, but she finally found something doing what she loves photography stuff for a major Diamond Company! Her job is amazing! She shoots jewelry! DIAMONDS!!! I'm so happy for her and jealous that she gets to play with DIAMONDS all day! So she was feelin' Asian and we were thinking of places to go and I recommended Empire Szechuan (Bethel, CT) The Advocate Greenwich Times gave the place 3 Stars. I don't read the Greenwich Times because I don't live in Greenwich but they are a reputable source.

Empire Szechuan Fusion Cuisine Chinese- Japanese - Sushi Cocktail & Lounge
So in we went! The place is pretty! Red Ambiance lighting Awesome!
The plant on our table, I named it Swirl
Our soups, I had wonton (I'm a sucker for wonton soup, and it has to be perfect, this was really good! "C" had Miso soup. The Noodles were fresh & crunchy (I hate stale noddles).

"C" had some kinda Sushi mix, each one was different.

I had Crispy Supreme Shrimp (Hunan), the sauce was really good, not to sweet and the SHRIMP was huge! "C" thought I ordered chicken because the pieces were so big.

Then we had desert because were foodies!!!!
We REALLY wanted Green Tea Ice Cream but they didn't have it. They said "come back in summer, we have it then" So "C" had some pistachio almond ice cream thing.

I had a Clementine Sorbet! This was the most amazing sorbet ever! It was a hollowed out clementine filled with orange sorbet. As Rachel Ray would say "delish"



My Look for the Night! I was going for GOLD! Since I'd mastered lashes this week I was ready to rock my lashes but I had an accidentally involving using the wrong mirror & lighting and gluing the lashes to a clump of my own lashes so I took those suckers off. I've got lashes down. But I have to give myself enough time.

I look bitchty in the 2nd pic, but I'm nice, I promise! The last pic "features" my jacked-up glue eye, lol



Ladies, I'm out! I have sooo much more to write about, My Pretty Pink Box Came today! I went M.A.C. Hauling today and found an awesome drugstore deep-conditioning mask, but the 4 glasses of "wind down" wine I had have gone to my head! So I'll blog about those finds/hauls later. Ok, yeah I know that technically 4 glasses of wine = 1 bottle but the bottle is really big so there! I'm not a wine-o.

My mother isn't doing well with the passing of Mommy Cat, she's having chest pains and the doctor heard and irregular heartbeat and wants her to have an Echo, Stress Test & an EKG!!!!!. If anyone has any advice on how to deal with the griveing process, or something I can do to help my Mom please email me mskgreenel[@]gmail[dot].com or AIM me KPrincez05, I don't know how to help my Mommy, she's falling apart.
XoXo
