Bout That Life

Yesterday was tough. But instead of me being Team In My Feelings, (I really was, I started crying while I was driving -cryving? when I was running errands, what tha heck???) I decided to focus on what I was grateful for instead. 

Choosey Lover

Love. Sigh. It is both a blessing and a curse. We seek it, we crave that heart that connects with ours, we believe that somewhere there is someone who excites our soul. 

And sometimes we are fortunate enough to find it. 

Final Exam

Now as y'all know, I have had some peculiar meetings/dates in the past (see here, here, and here for reference.) So I have decided that I am going to start my own business. I'm gonna interview all potential dudes who want to date women and do an appraisal. I will take out all of the guesswork so you won't have to endure a date with a don't. Hmmm, catchy, maybe I can call it Don't Date A Don't?

Gangstalicious

I used to be a G.

Don't look at me, I did! 

I used to be harder than the secret to Donald Trump's hairstyle.

Friend Request: Thomas Foolery

This last week has been surreal. As in, this can't be life. I have been getting lots of male attention (Mike Jones!) but the level of biscuit behavior (flakiness) and shenanigans is on a hoe notha levah. 

 Yet there is one particular occurrence of buffoonery that needs to be told.

Hair: Protective style 

Dress: Asos (On sale!) 

Acrylic bracelets: Om Imports

Shoes:  Jessica Simpson (A couple of seasons ago)

Spectacular Vernacular

Although I've had some things that have made me smile (#LoveWins), I've debated about whether I was going to post about the recent going ons in the world that have made my smile turn upside down. I have had that heat up in my chest and had #FacebookWars with small minded people and although I am passionate about current events I've decided not to give any more power to the people who are trying to bring unhappiness into the world. I do however want everyone to stay actively engaged in meaningful conversations about things that affect our world. 

(But don't listen to Don Lemon. He is pissing me off.)

Mojo

Ummmmm yeah, so I figured I needed to do a blog post so that y'all would know that I didn't get dead on my date......

Kiss and Tell

 

 

 Do people kiss on the first date?

Enthusiast

I looked up the definition of enthusiast and it said "a person who feels enthusiasm for something; a person who enjoys something very much."

Hello. My name is Juanette. And I am an enthusiast.

The Darnedest Things

I had my kids create a mock resume for Career Week last week. One student listed under qualifications that he has great abs. Another wrote that he is able to hack into other computer networks. I told him that it is probably not a selling point to admit that he is committing crimes when applying for a job.

Struggle

"Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; 

you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." -Bob Marley

I saw this quote during an episode of "Being Mary Jane" and promptly dismissed it. I wasn't sure if I agreed with the premise of thinking that people will hurt you and the idea of suffering for someone.

Jackie Robinson

Happy birthday to me! #MakingPeopleLaughSince1971

 

Business in the Front....Party In the Back.

*Blog title inspired by my top - and skirt...cuz my party's behind m...nevermind*

My name is Juanette....

Making the grade

Well the first week of school was last week and I would give it a solid B. I enjoy my team and my students this year are pretty good (so far) but I have some other grades that I would like to give out....

You-ness

I heard a guy at a party say that he was "a real man"

The Following

If the Shoe Fits...

Let's talk about these shoes (and my super Vaselined feet, lol).....

Get Yo Life ~ Part Two

 Remember in my post when I said that I've been feeling cluttered literally and mentally?

Personal Anthem

Sometimes I think of the day that I've had and give it a song to describe my day. Or whatever I listen to on my way to work might be my theme song for the day.

Today's song would have been "Mr. Telephone Man" by New Edition cuz I'm waiting for a phone call....

Leap of Faith

I have been described as animated, impetuous, talkative, tactless, and forthright

but I have never been described as stagnant....
