I will say it will give a kick in the pants to the Gospel Musical genre.

Seeing as this is the only Honors class in this subject in her grade, I am just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.

7th. And I didn’t get paid UNTIL Wednesday. BTW...My daughter got a “0", until she brought in the missing items (she already had most of it), and even then she could only get a C. We were both more than a touch pissed off about it.

Thank goodness my daughter was given a free backpack! I just bought her PE shoes this past weekend. The clothes I replace in little spurts throughout the year.

I wish. We got one list from a teacher on the first day of school, stating that all of the specific items needed for her class had to be purchased by Wednesday of that same week, or they would be marked down for not being prepared. I kid you not.

This movie comes out the weekend of my math and science loving daughter’s 13 birthday. I made sure she saw the trailer, and now even SHE is excited to see it.

My mom doesn’t regret my first name, only because she got to pick it herself, since my dad named my older sister. Guess who got the exotic fist and middle name, and guess who got a name so common there were FIVE of us in my HS graduating class? Matched with the most ethnically identifying last name in the history of

Yeah. I learned real fast when I had my light to medium brown daughter. Burns Every. Freakin’. Summer! But at least now an adult doesn’t have to catch her first to put sunscreen on her. She willingly puts in on herself. And I am usually one of the few parents who even remembers to make her pack sunscreen when she goes

I didn’t dislike it (it brought back a lot of memories), but the white washing of their backstory, especially where women were concerned, was horrific.

Ya think? Gen-X parents with grown kids. Some of ‘em have grandkids. Honestly though, one of the people was always teetering on the edge of the un-friend click. Never was a bad person, as it were. But definitely held some very...retro opinions about certain social and political topics that had me blocking more posts

Maybe. I will be 45 in November (Damn. Did I really just say that?), and most of the people that were around when all of this went down are right around my age group, meaning late 30s to early 50s (Gen X), and I had to unfriend and block a couple of people after I posted Dee Barnes Gawker essay. And these were Black

Cue all of the Hoteps coming out of the woodwork to tell her to “Sit Down, and Shut Up, Again!”, and “Why are you trying to bring down a Black Man”, and That’s Why Don’t Nobody Want Y’all Ass, Anyway!”, and, and, and...

Nope. My Senior pic looks just like every other tired-ass pic from the late 80s: big (VERY big!) asymmetrical, Salt N Pepa hair, red-ish lips, weird eyes, plastic smile. Egad when I look at my yearbook, I sorta cringe at how we all looked exactly alike.

I want Gene Simmons breakfast. Right now. For the mouth part of my face.

I hate having to loop my purse strap over the door. I’ve actually busted a purse strap that way. Granted, I needed to buy a new purse anyway, but still.

Loving all the love for Leslie Jones. The internet is sometimes wonderful, sometimes it just proves that asshattery is real.
