What’s up Party People? In case you have been living under a rock (not that there’s anything wrong with that)….you know that I have started a new gig.
Well, so far it’s been great. While I lucked out with a better laptop….my phone now sucks. SUCKS. Bye Bye Verizon, hello Sprint. WHOMP, WHOMP, WHOMP!
My new office is gorgeous. Big, roomy, spacious and great furniture. *Ding! Ten Points*
My new commute? *insert sigh*
So yeah, it’s been a week full of adjustments. Blogging has fallen to the wayside but I am back. I think I can fit blogging into my new schedule.
Anyway, we are on the verge of swearing in our new President. Folks will be braving the icy tundra to witness this historic event. NOT ME HOMIE!
That ceremony will look great on my High Def, with surround sound as I toast from the couch with the heat blasting and my pj’s and socks keeping me cozy. While my brave friends are out there freezing in long underwear and ski pants….I will be texting them…..”girl….Mrs. O ‘s dress is fabulous. You should see the close up!” You think they’ll hate me after two hours outside? LOL
For me, MLK Day also brings about an annual tradition in my house. The National Day Of Service. Every year, Mr. 1969 and I take the Tali’s out and join our prospective fraternity and sorority for various activities throught the city. We may be out cleaning a park, painting a school or feeding some folks. We look forward to this tradition and to teaching our kids to give back and really represent what the day is about.
When our President Elect ran for office, he called upon each of us to get off the couch, turn the tv off and roll up our sleeves right? How many of you are volunteering on MLK Day to make a difference in your communities? If you are looking for something to do…GO HERE!
Without community organizers, we wouldn’t have MLK, or Mr. Obama. We got to this point because of people wanting to make a difference. I am sure, you can all find something to do or someone to help.
Give an hour….it will make you feel good. Then when you watch our new President get sworn in on the 20th, you’ll feel even better.
Have a great weekend!
I’m there with you! I’ll be in front of the HD TV on Tuesday. I just wouldn’t be able to enjoy myself in 30 degree weather.
I’ll be at home too with my neighbors watching the festivities, I’m so excited, I can’t wait. Let’s see, 30 degree weather or sunny 80 degree California sun? I’ll take the latter.
Happy Belated Founder’s Day to you, Soror!
Same to you Soror Leslie C!!!!
It’s a game time decision for me, it really depends on the temp but if I do go out there, BK will be in full effect. Old school long johns. Ski mask. Timbs. You name it.
Holla.
We’ll be doing about the same thing on tuesday. Now I’m going to sit in the corner and rethink my life….I’ve had Sprint since 2000.
Girl it is CRAZY up here in DC folks are losing their damn minds LOL. PLUS it’s 10 degrees right now. I will be inside and warm watching the festivities from my sofa. Have a great weekend
1969, it is 13 degrees in the ATL. And that’s too cold for me. Uh, no, I won’t be in D.C.. I know it is MUCH colder up there.
I told my boss today, “Uh-rah, don’t seem quite right to be working on Inauguration Day. I suppose I’ll be calling in. I’m just letting you know.”
My best friend and I are watching together. Yeah, that sems quite right.
….I will be texting them…..”girl….Mrs. O ’s dress is fabulous. You should see the close up!”
lol!
I took the day off two months ago and plan on making mimosas and crying happy tears.
Don’t hate on Sprint too bad. I’ve been a loyal Sprint customer for seven years now.
Glad to hear the new job is going well. Hope you’re enjoying the weekend.
All I ask is that you email me pictures to my BB. Thank you in advance.
Community involvement always does a good job of humbling me, however, looking at my diamond encrusted watch as I clock how much longer I have to be there doing doesn’t help me focus on the goal. lol New cell phone carrier to go with the new commute. Priceless. I hope you kept your same number.
So glad you are adjusting to your new gig!
Have a memorable MLK Day!!
I am with you. I’ll be home with my husband and my sons, watching and crying together. I don’t need to be there to feel it. It’s magical enough already.
glad the new gig is coming along.. now the commute.. I’m sure you’ll find an alternate route..
mad about sprint but errr OK..
I did my day of service.. a few hours at a women’s shelter helping them fix their faces and teaching them how to type and use MS Word.. This has become my service of choice.. I love when I get that email I PASSED THE TYPING TEST.. THANK YOU
I love it.. makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.. My daughter volunteered at her old dance studio.. she helped choreograph a solo for one of the girls.. she is coming around..
you left verizon for sprint?
I’ve had sprint all my life… since a teenager until the end of 2007 and it was the best decision of my life switching to VZ. service is so much better than sprint.. granted sprint has better plans but nothing else compares
