chronicles of a fat girl named miss t.j.

Welcome to my weblog!

Welcome to the chronicles of a fat girl named miss t.j. You are now privy to the online musings of this happy, fat, black chick with SASSY hair. So, sit back and enjoy the crap that I am about to dish out!!!

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!! On Thanksgiving I had to work at the ACD . The movie began at 8PM and I had to be there by 7PM, so no T-Day dinner for me until about 11:30 PM. This is no big deal in my book, but I was told that folks tip higher on holidays. Big ole lie!!! None of my folks left big bucks for the holiday worker bee. They were all sweet as pie, but extra money is nicer. Oh, well maybe another holiday.

I broke down and bought "Unfinished Business" - I hesitated even though I LOVE Mr. S dot Carter, because of my continued disgust for R. Kelly and the disgust was prior to all of the arrests. R just rubs me the wrong way, no matter how talented he is. I pop the CD in and after some Trackmaster intro junk we get to the lead track "Big Chips" - I like it and patiently await the rest of the tracks. Overall, I think I like the album but this isn't for certain because there were moments where my disgust took over and I might have missed some beats, hooks and verses. But, "Big Chips" regardless of the unnecessarily long fade out, is sticking in my head hard.

On a happier Jay-Z note, tomorrow I will be purchasing "Collision Course" his collabo with Linkin Park courtesy of MTV.

I need to cut down on my Christmas gift spending and the only way I know how to do that is lessening the amount of persons I buy gifts for. But how will I go about doing this without offending folks I have given gifts to in the past??? I love buying presents but the harsh reality of the need to save money for law school is so ever present. Every penny I don't spend helps me out in the end, which is completely selfish. Hmmm, maybe instead of buying gifts for everyone I will donate to Heifer International on his or her behalf.

Honestly, would anyone of you mind if someone's gift to you benefited someone else???

To those who write me about how wonderful Bush is...

A man in office who is seeking God - I fully disagree. God/Jesus sought peace and understanding. Abided by unity of all and hopes us to seek it out as well. If we lived in the world of only the Old Testament then that statement to me would be in the correct state of mind but I feel we don't - understanding, love, forgiveness came in the books of New. And any man who can go four years and never make an attempt to meet with an organization who purpose regardless if met or not on a day to day basis is to promote and uplift folks of color and call themselves the "President of the UNITED States of America" will never get my vote. We went through an administration that stated they were protecting our troops - giving them and their families a better life. If this is the case then why could most of front line groups, who are basically babies technically qualify for welfare. What better life is this for them and their families??? Tell me why those who did their military time and left honorably many moons ago are being called back to the line of duty and threatened imprisonment if they don't come back even though their recall time limit has expired. We live in a time where we are willing to sacrifice loss of less value money wise so those who are rich can continue to get richer. Contractors are being paid base yearly salaries of $100,000 tax free off of government contracts for private corporate gain. We talk about being a morally abiding nation - so I guess those people dying in Iraq is of no topical value in your vote, just making sure non-forward ways of balance and equality are kept up is of greater importance then someone who is sacrificing their safety, mental well-being by doing a job based off of a big fat lie. We are so deep in poop we don't know when we are going to be able to get out. Please know, I pray to God all the time, for all of us - I believe in God, The Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I believe in forgiveness. I believe we are all fallible and we live in a fallible system, but we are all equal and we deserve to be treated as such without faith playing a role in our laws. You are faithfully governed my your actions, not the actions of others. God is the ultimate judge not you or me - the sins I do, are tallied and known by God and truly no one else, this tally, knowledge, my relationship (wavering or high) with Him and my repentance is my placement or displacement.

So, my grand aunt died last week and I wasn't able to go to her funeral, this still upsets me - but to top it all off, my other grand aunt came up from South Carolina to pay her last respects when she herself ended up in the hospital for emergency surgery. It bothers me that I am not as close to my family as I would like. There so many of my family members that I don't know - I didn't grow up around most of them so I could walk down the street and pass a cousin and not even know it. I think if I can I will try and make the family reunion next year.

Today I voted!!! I stood in line for hours to spend two minutes in front of a push-screen mini-booth to express my opinion and enjoy my right. I didn't complain nor did the hundreds of others around me - not once. We knew what we needed to do, to help get America back on track - VOTE and DEFEAT BUSH AGAIN, but this time with no question, so he doesn't have a chance to take a step back into the White House as "Commander in Cheif" after Januray 20, 2005. I hope we did it!!!

The South Beach Diet isn't going to bad - I still have cravings for sweet stuff, but I just get a gelatin sugar-free cup or a piece of sugar-free candy and I am good to go. So far, I have lost four-pounds which is good for me since I am having a moment where bloating and water gain is an issue. With all this being said I think I am going to step it up a notch - I think I am going to have my meals delivered to me from a program called "Diet to Go" - I have already this week spent about $160.00 in groceries. With this program I may save some money on some weeks, but I don't have to factor in spending time cooking meals. Cooking isn't my thing especially since I work two jobs. I'll let y'all know more after I talk to the folks.
