Help people….I have really got to find a dress or evening gown, whatever.... for military banquets. I’ve missed yet ANOTHER one and I think its time I find one before the next one comes up. I have a strange body shape. NO booty whats so ever, can fit from a size 16-22, the makings of a waist the more weight I lose, and 38-40 c/d chestal region (is chestal a word???). I am a whopping 5’3 on a good day but I still prefer flats at all times…any ideas???

Have you ever heard of Oktoberfest?? Shells and I were wondering why this year’s events were being celebrated in September this year so we asked a lady who takes part in the festivities every year. She said that its always in September but she didn’t know why exactly so I looked it up….if your interested here’s an explanation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oktoberfest . No, I’m not German but I love the food, the walking through the streets and my boys love to go and have their pictures taken with the cars.

Okoye’s girlfriends aunt owns a restaurant. For Homecoming, she wanted to reserve a table for them. To come and have dinner. White tablecloths. Candlelight. I’m like wtf???? I agreed to let him go to the Homecoming Dance, I didn’t know I was allowing him to become a super mackdaddy with the assistance of his girlfriends family?! Urgh….

I’m helping my mom organize her photos…this is huge, trust me. For years, she has kept her photo’s in the sticky back photo albums (gasp!!!! A photographer/scrapbooker night mare) or she keeps them in huge bags. I’ve been ‘borrowing’ quite a few of them to scan and save to my computer. So many memories….fun childhood memories. I’m trying to blog about them but what words can be used to describe bad taste in clothing but hilarious fun filled moments.

Yesterday, Jalil and I went to go pick Okoye up from conditioning class and on the way home the song Forever by Chris Brown came on…the song reminds me of older music like Xanadu or something…something you would rollerskate to…not rollerBLADE but skate too…I was singing along, had the windows down, wind blowing, sun shinning really enjoying life and then I heard my sons singing right along with me. My first vision was that of the single guys from Saturday Night Live, bopping their heads to some 80’s music but then it was such a warm feeling…we weren’t screaming the tunes, being silly but…just singing in harmony. Love those kinds of moments.
