The Ramblings of Nana

The rambling, raving and ranting of me. Who am I? I am a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend, a friend, a rolldog, a revolutionary, a peacemaker, a new attorney, an overachiever, a slacker and a lover of shoes. I am all of these things and more. I guess you could say that the blog is just about all of my experiences in life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

Dental Hygiene, NYC and the Sensation

Why don't people brush their teeth in the morning before they leave the house? I was on the shuttle and the metro this morning with a bunch of yuckmouths! I don't understand this concept! When I was little my parents taught us that you didn't leave the house without brushing your teeth. You brushed your teeth when you first got up to avoid burning the nosehairs of the people in the house and you brushed before leaving the house for work or school. It is just goood hygiene! Anyway, not much going on here. Was in NYC this weekend. Had a fabulous time with SW for her birthday bash. They managed to convince me to watch America's Next Top Model, which is basically a Real World for models. I also discovered Everybody Hates Chris, WHICH I LOVE!! Came home with some fabulous wedge-heeled boots (approved by my sister the style maven) and some hot rice bowls from Pearl River. Missed the Sensation immensely. Still getting used to this whole being in a stable relationship business. I have to say I love it. I never felt this comfortable with any of the past folks. Plus, Fiji likes the Sensation, that is a definite indication that the Sensation and I are good. Fiji bit Bryan and hated Rodney. If Fiji likes the Sensation and I like the Sensation, then all is right in the world.

Bombs over D.C.


I never thought that a bomb threat could make me so happy. Today at 4:30 pm my office building was evacuated because someone called in a bomb threat to the security desk. I have no idea what the firm has done to make people disgruntled, but I am kind of happy to have been sent home. I have been feeling run down all week and while, I'm losing my chance to get overtime, this is a chance for me to clean my house, watch some backlogged netflix and get some rest. I'm a fan. Nothing else is going on. The Sensation is sick and sounds horrible. My car is also sick and is going to be expensive to fix and I'm going to NYC this weekend for SW's birthday bash. Oh well, off to watch Il Postino.

Are they Crazy?

Just had an interview. How do they expect me to live on 40K a year in this city? I'm so moving to FL asap!

Happy Weekend

I'm alive. Sorry it has been so long between posts. I have been working a lot. Discover thinks my name is Toby, Mastercard thinks it is Kizzy. Therefore, I'm working my ass off for the right to call myself Kunta. Weekend was good. Went to happy hour with the girls at The Meeting Place. Had a great time, but ran into one stank man who had a problem with "smartass women." He was clearly at the wrong table. All of the ladies who were there had gone to GULC, thus there was about half a million dollars of education there. That isn't even counting any debt from undergrad! In other words, we weren't trying to hear his garbage. He got mad and stormed off. Good, he had that taco meat chest hair anyway! I'm so happy I have the Sensation and don't have to put up with the dating nonsense! Saturday morning got up and went to work, had dinner with the Sensation and his mom for her last night in town and then went to a party. Today I vegetated. I was exhausted and in need of some me time. The Sensation and I had our last salsa class. Sadness. We are really quite good. We'll have to take more classes soon.

Now, most of you have asked for more details about the meeting of Mama Sensation. Well, we met after our salsa class last week and we talked and got to know each other. She is a small woman(very cute, she looks like they made a copy of her face and put it on James' body) but I was terrified. I was so worried she would be thinking, "who is this afro'd woman trying to take my baby." It was a bit strange because her first language is French and my French is a bit rusty (but coming along due to my class). There were lots of pauses, but we got through. Dinner last night was much better. I even got a hug and the two cheek kiss at the end of the night. Next time she comes up I hope my French is suitable enough to have a good conversation. So that was the weekend. Now it is Sunday and I'm headed back to work. I'm actually okay with that because a girl who went to law school with me just started there and with her and my other friend at work we have a nice little contingent going. It actually makes work fun!! Oh well, off to watch some TV.
