He Can Be Such A Sweetheart At Times


Wow, sometimes my boyfriend can be such a sweetheart. On Monday he gave me the new Beyonce CD along with a card, telling me how much I mean to him! Even though I am not a big fan of her music, this CD really rocks! Especially the “Diva” song. Sometimes he can be a SWEETHEART!

Support Black Colleges!

Even though I did not go to college at Morris Brown, it is really sad when things happen to Historically Black Colleges. Where are the alums? In case you don't know the story, the school was hit with a $380,00.00 water bill which forced the school to close down, luckily the college is break. The school has never had to close it's doors in it's 127 year history. I hope they are able to get this bill paid.




Why Is It So Hard To Find A Plus-Sized Yoga Class in Los Angeles?

So since I am off work for the rest of this week, I decided to look for a Yoga Class for Plus-Sized women, even though my weight loss is going great, I wanted to start doing Yoga on Monday evenings. Well, after searching this morning, I found ZERO classes, which I think SUCKS! Sure LA has a lot of yoga programs and classes, but you think you would be able to find one class for someone who may feel a little strange in a room with so many health consciences people. So since I was unable to find one, I decided to work out with the, “Just My Size With Megan Garcia,” DVD. Once I get comfortable with yoga, I would love to start a class with others, just for plus-sized women!

Happy Holidays!


Why is it so hard for me to blog! I have so many things to talk about. I promise to catch up this week. In case you are wondering! I have lost a total of 48 pounds with my Lap Band. I promise to post new photos and movie reviews. I am so glad that I have had two weeks off! And then to think that I am going to Sundance in a few weeks! life is GREAT! I hope that everyone is having a happy holiday and a great new year.

One More Review


In addition to Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom, I also got to see the new Lee Daniels’ film, “Tennessee,” which features Mariah Carrey. The film is about two Brothers who set out on a road trip to their childhood home in a desperate search for their father, who may hold the key to their future. Along the way, they are joined by Krystal (Mariah Carey), who is trying to escape a difficult life. These unlikely traveling companions are guided in their mutual journey by the conviction that the only way to a new life is overcoming their past.

The film was ok, and Mariah was great as the character. I love the way that Lee Daniels always ends a film, with a question mark so you never know if there will be a Part 2. I can’t wait to see his next film, “Push,” it is going to screen while I am at Sundance. After the film there was Q&A with Lee Daniels and Mariah Carrey.

Wow! Long Time No Write!




I have had a very busy last two weeks! Here is a rundown:

Production: This week I had the opportunity of attending two different screenings: The first was the new Log Film: Noah’s Ark. This film was about the Logo series about the lives and loves of four gay men living together in Los Angeles.

It picks up where the end of season two left off (So if you are a fan of the show, you will be familiar with the story).

It starts with days before the wedding of Noah & Wade…….. I won't spill all the details but just know that every character has some major issues and love troubles going on including all of the characters from the show: Chance and Eddie deciding if they should stay together or not, the playboy Ricky, who really wants to be loved, and of course Alex with his FINE-ASS Boyfriend Trey.

If you are a fan of the show, you will definitely love the movie. Also after the film I was able to attend a Q&A with the writer/director, Patrik-Ian Polk and the “HOT” Talent actors that were a part of the film, and ladies Jensen Atwood is PERFECT TEN! I saw stars!
