memorial day weekend: thank you to those who have served our country!

memorial day weekend signals the start of rising temperatures, sizzling cookouts, longer days, and beach vacations.  oh, summer, how i have longed for thee.  

but let's not forget the main reason why memorial day is celebrated.  no, it's not because some people are able to take a day off or because shopping stores have massive sales.  memorial day is a day to pay tribute to those who have served our country, to those who have protected our country, and to those who have died for our country.  without those people, our nation would be in ruins and the united states would not be the powerhouse that we are.  so, i would like to thank those who have fought for our country and i appreciate your service.

i hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend.  i sure did, even though it was uber hot up here in the northeast!  

until next time!

back from MIA!

i've been [m]issing [i]n [a]ction as of late, and i apologize.  i just have not been motivated to write about anything because it seems like it's just the same thing over and over again that spins around in my head.  repetition gets dull to you and me both, i know.

as some may know, i just got back from a 5-day trip to MIAmi (yes... again... lol) and it was fun as usual.  i had oyster shooters for the first time, went to the everglades to visit the alligators, started the soul train at clevelander (and let me tell you, it was such a blast.  we are the party starters!), popped bottles at mansion (it wasn't as fun this time because our table was located at a terrible area of the club and the music was blah), beached it up a million times, played king's before we went out (that's always fun), played charades one night (girls dominated!), and danced up a storm in brickell on our last night.  all in all, it was an enjoyable trip with lots of memories. :)

next up on my list of adventures includes skydiving (june 12) and a beach trip to OCMD with a bunch of friends (always fun!).  


i promise to update more frequently!  toodles!

how to fake an orgasm: the animated guide.

last year, i bought a book titled, "why men love bitches" and i just now picked it up again to leaf through the pages for some good quotes for a facebook status.  i landed on page 70 of the book and, upon remembering the content, chuckled to myself.  i figured i'd share this with y'all because some of you may enjoy this or need a laugh for the day. ENJOY! :)

How To Fake An Orgasm - The Animated Guide

---> arch your back at a 45-degree angle and pant like a dog.

---> recite a couple of bad lines from a b-rated blue movie (remember those?) example: tell big poppa he does it for you like no one else can.

---> and the basics: "yes, yes, yes... harder, harder... don't stop!!!" then you'll want to immediately slap the nearest pillow.

---> mix it up. this means sometimes you'll want to slap the pillow then scream, other times you want to scream first, then slap the pillow. men love variety.

---> don't forget to suck your finger.

---> now for show and tell: ask him whose "it" is, and tell him that it's his! (yes it is)

---> if he switches positions, stops for a rest, or reaches for a drink of water, pay no attention and keep screaming anyway.

---> now for the alleged orgasm: scream like a banshee, and begin those kegel exercises. squeeze... release... squeeze... release.

---> and after sex, don't forget pillow talk. you've had two men before him. (okay, three, tops. but that's your final offer.)

WARNING: IF YOUR MAN SEES THIS, IT COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT (erectile dysfunction)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WEINA!!

HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY TO MY WEINA!  It feels like it was just yesterday when we were teeny boppers.. passing fold-up notes in the hallways of CHS.. prancing around my backyard posing for liz as she took our pictures.. dancing in the dark in front of the mirror with our mini glowsticks.. playing hide-and-seek at village park at night.. doing "missions" and rolling under the partially opened garage to check out what bob was doing.. hanging out and doing those gimp things at summertime adventures.. having sleepovers at my place since my parents never let me sleep over anyone's house.. doing silly role playing in my room.. and more recently [within the past few years], having those weekly dinners.. 50 cent mixed drinks at smokey joe's.. dancing until wee hours of the night.. rolling around in the sands of miami as we gave each other a photoshoot after nikki beach.. doing action photos on the bed at the hyatt on broad street.. bar hopping in the rain.. jumping in dirty philadelphia puddles..


we have laughed together.. cried together.. been happy together.. been sad together.. been upset at each other.. but we're still here for each other.. no matter what.  20 + years of friendship and memories and many more to come!  i hope you have a joyous and safe birthday, my love!  i love you and can't wait until we reunite again!!!
