Giggles With Godmom

Zekeriah is such a character.  He is full of life and energy at every waking moment of the day.  He brings the biggest smile to everyone in his presence and I love that I get to be his godmommy.  And who could resist his infectious giggles!?  Adorable!

An Untraditional Thanksgiving

As you may have guessed from my empty Thanksgiving dinner plate, my Thanksgiving plans have not come together at all.  After being away from the internet for four days I was finally able to look up prices for plane tickets.  From Louisville to Shreveport it is going to cost me about $550!  Originally, I was going to spend Thanksgiving with Philly family, but my dad asked that I not do that because of the bad whether conditions.  So I thought about going down to Shreveport and spending the long weekend with my uncle, my brother and his family.  The price tag of $550 put a halt to that.  This means that I'll be staying in Kentucky.  Sad day.  But the silver lining...saving money and buying more presents for the nieces and nephews!

What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

I'm Officially a Godmommy!

Do you rememba...

 ...the 21st night of September?!  I've been an old school R&B and Funk kind of day!  

In listening to this song, I remember the a Labor Day family reunion/surprise birthday party for my grandmom's 80th.  That was was a weekend where I met a lot of my family for the first time and learned that we all really do look a alike, l0l.

What great memory do you have attached to a a random day of the year?

My Growing Godson

My Godson is growing fast and will be here sooner than I know.  I won't be able to attend the baby shower that I was suppose to help plan, but I've talked with Mommy and she understands.  We're both lucky that she has plenty of help where she's at.

Auntie can't wait to meet you!

Never Say Never

My niece Imani has "Bieber Fever" so I was so happy to surprise her yesterday.  The city puts on a monthly event called Movie's at the Park at different public parks in San Diego.  Well yesterday was Jutin Bieber's Never Say Never.  I told my self that I would never watch it because I have no reason to...guess that changed, haha.  Once we got to the park, in this case a public pool, and she figured out what we were watching, she was so excited!  She couldn't stop dancing and was telling me about all his songs.

This was a great way to say goodbye.  She left for Texas to visit her great-grandparents for two weeks and I'll be moving to Kentucky to start working.  This means that each time I come back to visit our time together will be all the more important.

Love You Moni Pot!

The Best Breakfast of My Life!

So today I treated my dad to this great breakfast in Hillcrest, a cute little area of San Diego, called Hash House A Go Go!  They give you giant portions all made from fresh ingredients.  I heard about this place as I was flipping through channels and caught the tail-end of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on the Food Network.  It looked so good and when they mentioned that the original is in San Diego (pictured to the right), I made sure that I kept it in mind during my trip home for Spring Break.

Me & my Daddy

My dad and I tried going yesterday, but of course there was the St. Patrick's Day parade that prohibited any plans from following through.  So it was a wasted trip we went to Chiba's in Mission Valley for sushi.  But we went back for brunch and let me tell you...the 45 minute wait was well worth it.  The service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food that they give you!

Here's what we ate:

House smoked salmon w/ fresh asparagus, sundried tomatoes, chili cream and two basted eggs

House roasted chicken w/ mushroom, sliced market yellow tomato all crowned w/ basil pesto cream and two basted eggs

I had a Kiwi Watermelon Lemonade to wash it all down...so yummy!
