When you see your best friend

On a wall in the airport

Lunch pail

When you don't plan you plan to fail  or something like that. I've been looking for lunch bags for a while now . Usually I'm the girl with the Target plastic bag with 50 things thrown in it. I try to eat lunch at the office at least 3x a week. Eating out is expensive and you know I would rather spend my money in some department store clearance section.

So I decided to look at Vera Bradley late one night and found this amazing pattern. I literally wanted everything they had in this print but I was talked out of it .

" just because it's on sale doesn't mean you need it " is what I was told.

I thought if it was on sale it was meant to be !

Anywho this is what I ordered !

Do you like ???

Jackson, MS Spring Jam

So if you guys pay any attention to my blog posts you might remember     . I gave y'all false information! Somewhere along the lines I completely forgot about the concert I went to with Latoya in March 2015. I had to search my email just to clarify I wasn't crazy. Then I texted Latoya and was like didn't we go to a concert together? And she was like yeah. And I was like when? And why don't I have any videos or pictures? And she said my phone died or was dying so I couldn't record. I responded in my Tamar Braxton voice. WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNN ( emphasis on the n) and she said she really didn't remember.

Shout out to my friend Latoya Smith who didn't cuss me out via text for losing my mind. Guys I know I took some type of pictures but I can not find them on my computer for the life of me. Blogosphere forgive me for majorly slacking on something I take pride in. ( bragging to the masses about seeing famous people)

Until this even I've never been to a concert in Jackson. So that was an experience in itself.

There was Keith Sweat who literally brought down the house. There was a big girl who was grinding it out to some Keith Sweat. And during his set he was asking who in the audience was going to get pregnant tonight. UHM Mr. Sweat I'm going to need you to slow your role homie.

Slick Rick was next. But I didn't know any of his music but the audience seemed to really like him.

Then their was Dru Hill. LOVEEEEED

SWV- I felt like they didn't stay on stage long enough.

And the last to go on was the lasting members of H -Town which the only song I can remember is Knockin Da Boots.

The majority of the crowd were older men and women. The best part of this concert were the people dressed in church attire bumping and grinding in the public.

If I find the videos Ill make sure that I make a post about.

Thick girl Thursday Khloe Kardashian

It's my Feburary edition of Thick girl Thursday!

My favorite doll Khloe Kardashian.  Klo$ has some serious cakes.
There is no need for the detail accomplishments because whether you love her family or not you know they are amazing business minded women. You cant do anything but respect their work ethic and their willingness to allow millions of people to have access to their lives.

Khloe is most definitely my favorite Kardashian!

Presents

My favorite thing in the world is giving others presents. So when I get presents I am beyond excited . Especially when it really took some real thought. You can always tell if a present was thrown together or if it  lacks meaning. This Christmas season I received A LOT of gifts from my friends so I wanted to make sure I took the time to express my gratitude.

Everyone that knows me knows....  that I love my name. I mean its really cool although people cant for the life of them pronounce it .  { A|li|sa } Another reason to love it is because it's not one of those Britney Whitney Tiffany names. ( no offense to all the Britney Whitney Tiffany's out there)  Originality is important and I have my Aunte  to thank for that.

So my mom had no idea what she wanted to name me so she asked my Aunte whose name is Alice. She thought it was cute and similar to her name so BOOM. The A of AMN was born.

Anywho... Laquita ( shout out to Laquita Vaugh Holland- who doesn't read my blog) for this amazing present. I am one step closer to being the next Carrie Bradshaw yall!

Sex and the City: New York 2013

This post is my longest queued post EVER. Dec 2013

Every time I go to clean out my queue I open it but I could never put  "pen to paper".  This will probably be the most dramatic post I will ever write. And yet I have never started this post because I am deeply sadden on what I have to write. Which is absolutely ridiculous. As yall know I went to New York in Nov 2013 for my 26th birthday. In preparation for the City I re watched SATC just so I could take notes of all the places they went in the series. Because some where in my heart 6 & 1/2 years of SATC  was real life. 

Let me back track the first time I ever saw  SATC I was in the 5th grade. It was one of those late nights where I wondered in the living room to watch TV and when I was flipping channels ( when HBO was channel 5) I saw what I now know is Samantha in a blue outfit sliding down a fireman's pole. ( Season three opener). I don't think I finished watching the rest of the episode but that image literally stuck with me for years. Between 5th grade and 10th grade I never saw another episode of SATC. But one day in 2004 a commercial popped up on TBS of Carrie prancing across my screen in a tutu and I recognized her face and something within me awaken.

June 2004 I was sitting in front of my TV watching this show like my life depended on it. I watched every episode on TBS. By college I owned every season. And since I did not have cable I watched this show just about everyday for 6 years straight. Over and Over and Over. To the point where I can recite the words the characters are about to say before they open their mouths to say it. So to say I was a fan is really an understatement.

When I went to New York I felt like I was finally meeting up with " friends" I had been watching their life pan out in front of me and I was coming in to catch up.

But as I started to tour the city I realized that things were not as they are perceived on TV. It really broke my heart for TV. That might be weird to say but when you think something hangs the moon and you realize the moon is independently hung it is crushing.

In the first episode of the first season of SATC, Carrie gives the address of 245 E 73rd Street, between Park and Madison. Lets just say after hours of walking in circles that did not exist . Luckily I had sense to google the address because I know I am not the only person that was looking for Carries apartment. Low and behold that's when I realized it was all a lie. 

Google revealed that Carrie's apartment was really located in Greenwich Village on 66 Perry. By the time we made to there it was dark. There was a very nice elderly man that happened to be walking around his neighborhood. The area is now a elderly development. He stated that he had been living there for years and they have had several problems with unruly people coming and taking pictures on the stoop and because of this they had to rope it off. He said he has never watched the show and id he did he wasn't sure if he would want to come take a picture with a building. LOL

I have been trying to think of several ways to write this post for the past couple of years but i just didn't have the words to say it.   Oh reality...
