Crocs! They are Everywhere

Recently, in the past month Crocs seem to have taken over my office. People have begun to wear these shoes to work. One woman has about 10 pairs that she bought all at once in the past 3 weeks. She says she has given up all her other shoes. She wears her dayglow colored crocs everyday and they do not match anything she wears. She can match up better but I think she takes great delight in NOT matching her shoes to clothes, just so those crocs stand out.

I do not have any Crocs but I think I will at least go and check them out and see what all the fuss is all about. I have found a great selection at the Dick's Sporting Goods store at the mall.

What the Croc fuss is all about:

• they are soft and mold to your feet
• they are lightweight weighing only 6 ounces
• they have air vents so feet stay cool
• they are bacteria and odor resistant
• they can be cleaned with water or bleach

Click the picks below to see those styles.
There are many to choose from. These are just 2.

Shoes in Need of Relaxation

What a day this was. I would almost think that the great shoe gods that are guiding my life from the dark recesses of shoe boxes were mad with me.

10:00am. Ring a ding ding! "This is dirty Fila's english teacher and this last 9 weeks dirty Fila has had some sort of attitude problem that has resulted in her getting a 69 for the last nine weeks. I know that is very abnormal for her as she is taking honors classes and has never had a grade like this before. I think you need to come in next week for a conference." I was livid. She has never had a grade like this before. EVER. dirty Fila has been in the gifted and talented or honors classes her entire school career. Even in kindergarden. I was floored. I made the appointment for next week. The teacher said it seems to be some sort of attitude problem.

12:30pm. Heavy footsteps approaching. Tinker, boss here. It is the end of the month and we need more production. We have 2 more days to hit out goals. We need a reduction of non segmenteds. We need more contacts, more follow up, more closures, more negotiations. Work this list, what was the result of working that last list? What is the progress on the targeted goal list? Please see my email on this client...and on and on and on. It is the end of the month, little worker bees! Chop, chop! Hop to it. Finishing shoes and I just looked at each other. She had heard the exact same thing 2 minutes before I did. We laughed with each other and pondered our purpose in the grand scheme of things. If we die tomorrow, the work would go on and on and on. We decided it would be a Michelob, Margarita kind of night.

3:30pm. Ring a ding ding! "Mom! I forgot to tell you that I have violin rehearsal after school today and I have to stay late. Can you pick me up at 5:15?" (I was going to work late to get to yesterday's emails and targeted lists!) Okay dirty Fila, I will be there. So much for working late.

All throughout the day: Dealing with new girl. Can we say just stop talking? I don't want to appear rude but all that talking she does is a distraction from work. Finishing shoes and I even turn our backs to her and still she talks. God help us!

6:00 pm. "Mommy I got a detention today." I shrieked. She has never, ever had a detention before. Why? She had on the wrong color sweatshirt with her uniform. She wears a school uniform and today she wore something out of uniform. She was asked to take it off and she refused. REFUSED! Mind you. The ipod nano is going to disappear. In addition to that, so will that favorite sweatshirt. Those 2 things will not be returned until grades improve. I am so put out with her. What is going on with her suddenly? My school angel is moving over to the dark side!

7:00 pm. At the mall, you know me. Window shopping for shoes. I spy something. A man with an odd chair. Free massage he says. I walk over and look at him. He looks okay. Strange men rubbing on you can be scary. I ask for his business card. He really is a professional masseuse. So I agree to the free massage. I thought it would be for about 5 minutes or so. 30 minutes later I was a new woman. Right there in the mall. It was almost a godly experience. I took his card with me. I feel I might have to call him in the future for some of his services.

That was a perfect end to a crazy day. It all starts again on tomorrow.

Just another thought: this blog reached a milestone as well. I just looked at the counter and over 100,000 visits have been made to my blog. That is amazing!

B. I. G. Family gets 1.1 Million Dollars

LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday approved a $1.1 million payment to the family of slain rapper Notorious B.I.G because of errors in a civil wrongful death trial over accusations that he was murdered by rogue police officers.

The penalty was levied by a U.S. district judge who accused police of concealing evidence and declared a mistrial in the lawsuit, which was brought against the city last year.

The popular rapper, born Christopher Wallace, was shot dead at the age of 24 after leaving a Los Angeles music party in 1997.

His unsolved murder has been widely attributed to a feud between East and West Coast rap record labels which had also cost the life of another popular rapper, Tupac Shakur.

Relatives of Notorious B.I.G. claim the shooting was carried out by Los Angeles police officers moonlighting for one of the record companies.

The $1.1 million dollar penalty will go to pay legal costs incurred by the family of the rapper before the mistrial was declared in July.

The family has said it will go ahead with its wrongful death lawsuit and hopes to set a new trial date next month.

Brittany Spears Giving Birth

Monument to Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston

Who the hell wants to see a statue of Britney Spears giving birth?! Please! Maybe if she was a majestic woman of some character, it would be something beautiful. She is just so tacky! This work of art is not flattering to her. The nerve! Britney, Britney, find something to do with yourself.

CONSTRUCTIVE!

Did she really give birth on a bear skin rug?

This exhibit is showing from April 7th- April 23 at the Capla Kesting Fine Art Center in Brooklyn, New York.

A nude Britney Spears on a bearskin rug while giving birth to her firstborn marks a 'first' for Pro-Life. Pop-star Britney Spears is the "ideal" model for Pro-Life and the subject of a dedication at Capla Kesting Fine Art in Brooklyn's Williamsburg gallery district, in what is proclaimed the first Pro-Life monument to birth, in April.

Dedication of the life-sized statue celebrates the recent birth of Spears' baby boy, Sean, and applauds her decision of placing family before career. "A superstar at Britney's young age having a child is rare in today's celebrity culture. This dedication honors Britney for the rarity of her choice and bravery of her decision," said gallery co-director, Lincoln Capla. The dedication includes materials provided by Manhattan Right To Life Committee.

Sport Fusion Shoes

This weekend I was good! I only bought one pair of shoes. These are my latest pair.

They are by SKECHERS and they are the "sport fusion tennis shoes." The model is Bikers Propel. Sport fusion? Exactly what does that mean? I wonder if it is anything like a cross trainer. I have had some cross trainers and they have been more like athletic shoes. These seem to be sporty than athletic. They say "bikers." I wonder if they are for biking? They seem to fit very well. The elastic band makes it fit really snug. I guess(hope) that that will become a little more relaxed in time.

Why did I buy them? Did I need them? No! They were pretty. Pretty colors and a style I have not had before equates to pull out the plastic and buy, buy buy! So that is what I did. They were actually on sale for about $30.00. On the website they are full price still. Skechers has an entire catagory of sport fusion shoes. There are quite a few styles, but these are the ones I like the best. They all seem to be in the $50 or so range. Not bad.

Bikers-Output $54



Bikers-Hurtle $54


Bikers-Paceline $40

Schutz Shoes: Busy Shoes

Now I must say that I do not really care for any of these shoes. They are all by Schutz but they are just so busy. The only thing you can wear with them are solids. They have lots of other shoes of course that are not so busy. These are just not so pretty. Some are on sale for about $65. The original cost was about $100 or so. They are part of the Schutz Women Collection.

Irish Drinking Toast

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!

Irish Blessing

May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer
you.

Irish Curse

May those who love us love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping.

Flavor of Love: Hoopz and Flavor Flav

Flavor of Love: Flavor Flav and Hoopz

Sexy Hoopz pictures

Flavor of Love 2

Flavor Flav is having a baby! See article below! Who IS pregnant with Flav's baby?????

Nicole Deannae Alexander was born in Detroit, Michigan on July 12, 1983 to an Italian American mother and African American father.

Hoopz pictures!

Hoopz has been arrested for assaulting a police officer! Read more about it below!

I have never watched this show at all until yesterday. I was at my mom's house and dirty fila turned it on. Can we say that Flavor is the ugliest man alive? It was the season finale of the show and it was down to three woman when this cat fight on video was caught. Spitting! The lowest of the low. New York was a screaming banshee and so tacky. She and Pumpkin (the blonde who did the spitting) are in the same category--skank! In the end he choose Hoopz. She is a very pretty girl. Whether that is going to be a real relationship with marriage in the future? Who knows? I thought he had an engagement ring in those little boxes. I was expecting him to give Hoopz a ring. Instead it was a grill! A grill for her teeth! Man is that ghetto. Upper and bottom and she put them in on the spot. Way too ghetto for me.

This is the cat fight between Pumpkin and New York. It was something!

The Winner

Her site can be found here: Darling Nikki.
There has been an update to the site. The one above is her first site. This one is her newest one where she can be booked for celebrity bookings and appearances. Hoopzonline.com

I hear that since the show she has not returned a single call to Flavor Flav.

That love sure was short lived. I found out thru Wayne that there is another casting call out for women in the Atlanta area for Flavor of Love 2 . He is still looking for love. If you think you can put up with Flavor Flav, be sure to get in line for casting of the next show.

Casting call for Flavor of Love 2.

Here's another!

Flavor Flav on the Tom Joyner Show talking about him and Hoopz no longer being together. Listen to his interview here: Flavor Flav and Hoopz No Longer Together.

Hoopz has been arrested. Her 15 minutes of fame have maybe been stretched to 25 minutes!

Former Flavor of Love star Hoopz was arrested on Tuesday (June 13) for assaulting a police officer. According to reports, the reality star was jailed for allegedly attacking a police officer outside of her Dearborn, Michigan home. The incident happened after police were called to her residence to investigate a noise complaint filed by one of her neighbors.

Hoopz (real name Nichole Alexander) asserts the officers took her into custody after voicing complaints that neighbors were harassing her. "He walked up, took the door, opened the door back up. Grabbed me by me neck and I just remember flying down these steps, " said Hoopz in a statement. "While I 'm falling, I gripped on to him and we fall. Now we wrestling and two more cop guys come and jump on me."

The Detroit native claims the quarrel left her bruised. Hoopz has been the subject of controversy in recent months after winning VH1's Flavor of Love. Although Flavor Flav picked her as the winner of last season's show, the pair announced shortly thereafter that they are no longer romantically involved and will remain just friends.

Why is Flavor Flav liked so much? Read this article and see why he tends to be so endearing. It has to be an "in person" thing because there is nothing remotely attractive about him. Nothing that would make me want to even think about going on a date!


Now this next clip is Classic. New York and the Girls. What can I say. They are embarrassing!

Flavor Flav's 7th Child!

Flavor Flav, who's dating "Flavor of Love" winner Deelishis, is expecting a child — his seventh — with another woman, his manager, Clifton Johnson, confirmed Thursday.

When things didn't work out with Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander, who won the first season of his hit VH1 reality show, Flav resumed an "on and off" relationship with the baby-to-be's mother — "hence, the conception," Johnson said. The baby is due in early January, he said.

Johnson would not reveal the mother's identity.

Deelishis (real name London Charles), whom Flav chose in the recent second-season finale of "Flavor of Love," is reportedly standing by her man.

"She understands that this is definitely something prior to her involvement on the show and her involvement with Flav, and she says she supports him regardless," Johnson said.

Flavor Flav (real name William Drayton Jr.), 47, founded the hip-hop group Public Enemy in the `80s. He found fame anew in 2004 on the third season of VH1's "The Surreal Life." He has since starred in the network's "Strange Love" and "Flavor of Love."
