Renaissance Woman

Today my boss called me a renaissance woman, it made me feel kinda good. I personally think I am pretty boring she would disagree. So what's going on you may ask well.

This weekend I went to see the "lil" girl. I got home Friday after picking up my cousin on the way. He, myself and my aunt wen to eat and chatted for a bit, afterwards I came back to her house and did some work followed by going home and catching up on some TV my mom had recorded for me. So my lil girl gets home and we talk a bit, watch a little TV and the go to bed. While I was away my lil girl bought me to pair of really cute shoes that I was eyeing while I was home for Christmas. Well my new (lazy) thing is that when I go home to not pack just take all my dirty clothes home and was and figure out something amongst what I have. With the shoes my mom bought me and the ones I had on something had to work. Well Saturday, I am awaken by my crazy ass BFF and we talk and what not, I then get up and start washing and watching TV. My youngest cousin on my mother's side had her baby shower so once my little girl got off work we did the family thing. Then we went back to the store where she bought my shoes just to look and I walked out with a $3 skirt, $9 skirt, $12 dress, and 2 pairs of $9 shoes. Talk about a sale and for those that know me know I am not a shopper but I couldn't leave them. I was so excited that I didn't even try on the shoes. Well I get home and try them on and low and be hold one of them was do small. For the longest i have worn a 7.5 or 8 shoe and now my foot wants to grow and be an 8 or 8.5..... Well after church I exchanged the7.5 for 8.5 and the 8 I just keep so i am packing up my car and something tells me to look at my shoes my mom bought me and try them on ugh one pair i wore to church and the other was TO SMALL...so I had to exchange them too.
So my cousin and I head back.

I signed up for this reading program at the library and the first book we are doing is a lessen before dying, well knew i wasn't gonna have time to read it while I was away and someone suggested i do books on CD...where has this been I did 6 of 7 CD going home and back and finished the last CD last night while cleaning. I am so ready because Ernest Gaines is coming to town to talk about the book and I finished it I know need to get started on the next one.

Random thought: I got paid Friday and looked at my vacation and noticed I was getting close to my maximum and started freaking out...cause once you get to the max you loose them and i was against loosing days...that like working for free. So I went through my calendar and decided I was gonna take some days if I didn't do anything but sit on my ass. LOL!!!

Okay i think that is all right now. will chat later

All the rage...

Okay so I hang out on facebook and lately all the rage has been random 25 things about you so I did it but once I got started I couldn't stop so here are 31 randome things about me.

1.) People say growing up I was always smiling, my smile was referred to as a Kool-Aid smile (thanks Tonya)

2.) In college I thought I was going to go from Nikki to Dani, but some reason I am referred to as Danielle “Nikki” Brown by people who went to college with me (thanks Terri and Kenya)

3.) I love to dance but never stick with it…I am ballet drop-out, modern drop-out, jazz drop-out, tap drop-out and most recently a belly dance drop-out. ( I think my ballet teacher played some part in that, I have been scared ever since); I was even on an all-star dance team

4.) I was a cheerleading (9th -12th grade, Co-Capt. in 9th and 12th grade), those who know me now find that so hard to believe

5.) I love my little girl, my mother; at some point in my life the roles reversed and now I am the mother and she is the daughter; people say she is my twin

6.) I struggle everyday not to hate my father, about a year ago I came to peace with my daddy issues, now I just struggle not to hate him….oh and people say he is my twin when we are together (but I don’t for see that happening ever again)

7.) If I was not my mother’s daughter, I would have been a stripper in college and law school (hell Sallie Mae is kicking my ass) and would be tattooed up like it wasn’t anybodies business, however my mother whips out the Bible and turns to Leviticus every time I mention or she thinks I am thinking about getting inked.

8.) I have the strangest taste in men; you have to know me to know what I am talking about. It’s the craziest things that I find attractive, like calf muscles (Take the wheel Jesus); arms (there was this police officer that I just wanted to bit his arms they were just like large apples) okay TMI sorry.

9.) I haven’t had a drink of alcohol since July 08’, now if I can make it through Mardi Gras, I am officially DONE with the spirits

10.) Tuesday, January 25, 2000 was a day that changed my life, however I wouldn’t realize it until years later

11.) By the time I had gotten to college I wasn’t really interested in a lot of things people are while in college, hell I had done it all in high school……We must remember I enforce the law now….

12.) When I was in kindergarten I locked myself in the lockers trying to play a joke on my teacher, well the joke was on my…I think I had a nervous breakdown and have been claustorophic ever since.

13.) One of my biggest fears is to not have control

14.) When I see people who knew me growing up they always find it hysterical that I am a lawyer

15.) I am shy, I really don’t like people and social events or networking…..I feel like a prostitute, as if I am selling my soul…cause I would rather be at home

16.) I LOVE TO SLEEP

17.) I HATE BEING COLD

18.) Large crowds of people make me uncomfortable

19.) I have a secret desire to be pregnant….now let me clarify I want to be pregnant for 9 months, breast feed for another year and be done….and I also want a reception (not a wedding), my friends say it isn’t possible (don’t want to raise anybody, just be fluffy)

20.) I love history and old shit

21.) I have this secret fascination with Cuba, Afghanistan, Zaire (Lumumba, Mobutu) and Judaism and the whole Middle East conflict……unfortunately I don’t have the time or energy to feed my fancy

22.) I love being around people who I think are smarter than me….I am a parasite/sponge I love learning new things, stuff I didn’t know

23.) When I was in the 8th my Adv. Social Studies teacher showed this cartoon in class and it depicted black people black as tar, with big red lips….not really sure of its significance but every since then I hated being in Advanced or Pre-AP or AP classes….(the only people who thought this may have been offensive were (Kristy and John, thanks guys);

24.) In 6th grade, I decided that my table would accentuate the positive, meaning that the girl that was good at handwriting would do everyone’s handwriting, the girl that would good at math would do all the math, the girl that was good at spelling would do all the spelling and so forth…I was accused of cheating and now people pay/make good money for dividing up task…I still don’t like my 6th grade teacher to this day, that wasn’t the only time she accused me of cheating , she said I cheated on my science test (just cause I drew a fucking diagram of fission and fusion) BITCH…

25.) I am a neat freak/anal/straight to the point/Bitch

26.) I am on a roll now…..When I was younger I wanted to be: a lawyer, a politician, an archeologist, a sociologist, a pshycairist, a physiologist, a robotic engineer, Robin Given’s character from Boomerang, and just a random person that had a random job

27.) I am a horrible speller

28.) My last year or so of college, I was the “Commissioner of Fun”

29.) I have always worked, I had a job at 15…I have at major points in my life had 2 jobs, summer before my freshman year in college, while on line, after graduation from college, after graduation from law school….so I have zero tolerance for people who don’t work

30.) I have zero tolerance for people who use their upbringing as an excuse for why they commit crimes or are in jail….cause I know better.

31.) Okay this is the last one…I had the biggest crush on J.C. Watts, my BFF volunteer for the Republican Party in Hawaii and got me a nice size photo of him. I remember when she sent it to me I was in heaven….I mean Micheal Steele is nice but he ain’t got nothing on Julius Ceasar Watts.
