If you’ve seen my stand-up routine, then you’ve already heard me talk about people’s confusion with my race. It’s a recurring theme in my life. I get so many variations of, “What are you?” it’s become quite a joke (hello, The Differences Between Black Girls and White Girls at the Gym!). But I totally forgot [...]

And Then There’s This…

Speaking of LLOLs…I have a few to share today! First, my friend Julia threw this in my inbox yesterday… (The was acting up, but click here to watch on YouTube.) Actually, in all honesty, I didn’t LLOL the first time because I was just speechless. It takes a lot to make me speechless, but that [...]

Rule #3: Laugh Like You Mean It

June 30, 2010
LOL smiley face

Today I’m going to talk about a very real and serious topic: misuse of the acronym for “laughing out loud.” Despite the fact that I have stated my feelings on this subject on many occasions, people still find it necessary, in our text, e-mail, and Facebook conversations, to use “lol” as though it is punctuation.

Good Sunday morning! So, last night was the comedy contest! I added some new material to my routine that I was pretty excited about. However, I think the logistics of the event prevented me from really feeling like I killed it. The event was really long and the room was hot; the worst part, however, [...]

You’d think after the MaraNatha debacle, companies would start to realize I’m not some dumb blogger who takes samples from just anyone. Apparently not. When this little gem appeared in my inbox, my whole day improved. I hesitated about making it public, but I always say, if you use social media to promote a business, [...]

Lemme Work It: 5/24/10

weights

Spin class was canceled tonight! My girls were all on vacation over the weekend and I think they are still tuckered out. Sooo…I wasn’t sure what to do instead. I considered doing this workout… White girl shuffle? Looks good to me! But since there are no black men in the ‘burbs, I couldn’t do it. [...]

spinning

So, after I posed the question, “Spins for everyone?” on Monday night, asking if you guys would be interested in a virtual spin class, I got an enthusiastic enough response to know that it was time to share my love for spinning, tunes, and technology with you guys. And when I posed the question, “What [...]

strength training

I’ve been thinking a lot about strength training and cardio lately, as this year I finally had my “getting it” moment when I realized that strength training is a crucial part of fitness, weight loss, and looking damn fine. So why did it take me so long to figure this out? Well, most of what [...]

Too Much of a Good Thing

Attention, Shedders! Posting today has been canceled due to lack of hustle. You see, after a perfect Thursday night in which I earned myself a drive-thru run (well, technically, two, but one order of fries was enough and was delicious) and then came down by eating gourmet chocolate in bed, I realized…I do not want [...]
