The Last King of Scotland...

I checked out this movie last night...although I missed about 20 minutes of the movie...it was pretty good. The only downfall is that with movies like this - you really have to go into it knowing the historical background (which I didn't have at the time). And with historical films about Africa and people of color - you have to make sure you get your historical information from an objective source.

But otherwise, it was ok. Forest Whitaker was awesome (As usual) in his role as the powerful but unhinged Ugandan President.

However, Kerry Washington (who was stunningly beautiful in the movie) could've been stronger in potraying her character Kay Amin (his 3rd wife)...

I say this because I'm sure Kay was quite a character in real life to have been bold enough to sleep with a Full Bred WHITE Scottish doctor and then to add insult to inury: get pregnant.

She really risked her life - and ultimately paid the price for doing this...This had to be an interesting and complex woman to be able to take such a risk in that day in time in Africa and also knowing the culture and the role of women there.

Because of this, I was expecting more from Kerry in her portrayal. She could've digged deeper. Kerry lacked the passion that I know a woman like Kay Amin had.

But other wise...it was a good movie...Go See it!

There is nothing like catching up with an old friend (The things that matter the most)...

Wow...Its nothing like catching up with an old friend.

It was good to be greeted with an old but familiar face. Some people say that the past should be left where it is. There are so many negative things associated with the past (for me anyway). But this old friend was a welcomed face from my yesterday.

Although our time was short, we were able to spend time, talk, share and most importantly we had the opportunity to reminisce...

What was really comforting was that I knew that my old friend was listening to me. I mean genuinely listening to my words and concerns. It felt good not to have the pressure. It was refreshing. I really enjoyed it. It meant so much to me.

It felt so good to be able to touch, laugh and "just be" with my old friend. I didn't want that moment to end...

When we were together...It dawned on me how good it felt to just to be able to laugh...and for my friend to share that that with me.

Those are the little things that matter the most. Its those little things that keep the heart beating...And I truly thank God that at the tender age of 27, I am able to recogonize that those are the things in life that matter the most.

The touch, the laughs, and just being able to be...
Thank you M.W.

Miami Trip...My New Years Eve

Here are the pic's - Everybody has already blogged about the trip and

I'm like so freakin late! Geeze!!!

New Years Eve!!!

Bringing the New Years in on the Beach was Incredible! Truly Unforgettable

For the First time in my Life...I was Homeless...LOL

It was truly a great way to bring the New Years in!

The Double 07 will never be the same...literally (lol)

Its official: I'm addicted...to make up.

I've realized that I'm addicted to make up and beauty products. The above picture is of me on January 6th...a day out with my best friend for a preview of Mac's new spring colors in Columbia...I was so excited that day. I remember telling Cher, "Girl, I'm not buying nothing, I'm chilling" and I also remember us both walking out of Nordstrom with MAC Cosmetic bags in our hands. Truly Incredible Right?

Anyway, this past weekend, somewhere in my travels, I lost my make up bag. Over $400.00 worth of products...Gone. Hopefully, someone will be able to make use of the bag (Chanel) and products that I could not live without.

I actually didn't even want to go anywhere this past weekend. I was devistated. I felt naked. It was unbelievable...I was really surprised at how dependent

I was on a bunch of chemicals and paint! LOL

I have started the painful and expensive process of replacing some of the items...there's still a bunch of stuff I need so I got a head start yesterday on my lunch break and I picked up the following:

Liners: Nightmoth, Currant, Chestnut

Eyeshadow: Expresso, Carbon, Honesty

Lip Sticks: Ruby Woo, Honey Love, Vixen, Viper, Snob

CHANEL Glossimer - Glitter & Sunset Gold

Concealer - NW45

MAC Mini Brush Kit

I could really kick myself in the ass for this one...I've already spent a ton of damn money replacing this stuff and I'm not even half way there.

Life as a girl...ain't easy. Although I was irritated as hell yesterday when my "personal make up consultant" (LOL) informed me of my total $$$$$

But as I swiped my BOA card at Nordstrom's...inside, I felt a sense of ease and peace.

I was relieved, settled and content.

When I arrived home to open my goodies it was weird...I felt "put together again."
