IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY?


Love In A Special Way - Tamia (Remake of DeBarge)...let me first say that i love this song. thats all that matters for this question cuz i don't really get it :-S


WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?


Diamonds and Pearls-Prince...OMG!!! i feel this is accurate. my mum always told me growing up that i had champagne taste and that she hoped i would grow up and be able to manifest it because i aimed high...BOY IS THAT RIGHT!!!! i am such a girly girl, i love jewels, shopping, being soft and pink and i am very adventurous and exquisite...like diamonds and pearls *wink*

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?

Get It Together-India.Arie...hmmmmmmm, this could be appropriate. i hate it when two people come together and choose not to compromise for the sake of their relationship and love for the other person. they should just "get it together" and be happy and in love :-)

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?

Love's Holiday-Lalah Hathaway (Remake of EWF)...another great song!!! i am feeling pretty loved and loving...baby had an appointment this morning and it went well, so all is good in the world

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?

Feel All My Love Inside-Marvin Gaye...can you ever go wrong with marvin gaye? anyhoo, i guess i could spin this one to mean that my purpose is to spread love to people...what greater place to start than within your own fam?

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?

Dirrty-Christina Aguilera...hee hee. sometimes PCD likes to get wild and crazy and just let my hair hang down...if you're gonna do it, do it well, and sometimes getting a little dirrty can be even more fun!

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?

Pretty Lady - Mint Condition f. Charlie Wilson...*chuckling* i guess my friends think i'm pretty...this one was funny! maybe one of those hussies secretly hates my guts and thinks i'm a fugly witch *shrugging shoulders*

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS?

Angel-Chaka Khan...wow! this was good...i'm starting to think me and my ipod have twin souls! my parents have been like angels for me. they've helped me thru many facets of life and there's NOTHING i can't count on them for. they're supportive of my primary relationship (marriage) and are in love with baby PCD, the first grand...so i couldn't ask for more :-)

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?

You Mean The World To Me-Toni Braxton...well, being that i am a SAHM, i spend every waking (and sleeping) minute with lil' PCD...who of COURSE means the world to me. i take many times during every day to just marvel at little things about her, like her long eyelashes, her little fingers, her innocence, her naughtiness when she's choosing not to listen, her pigtails...like i said, she's means the world...

WHAT IS 2+2?

Can You Stand The Rain-New Edition...ok. i'll roll with this one. explaining it is another story tho *ha!*also, see the answer three songs up...me no do mathy!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Georgie Porgy - Eric Benet F. Faith Evans (Remake of Toto)...boy oh BOY!!!! just reverse those words of "georgie porgy puddin' pie, kissed the girls and made them cry" to "georgette porgie puddin' pie, kissed the boys and made THEM CRY!" and that would describe us to a TEE...back in the day of course. we were some heartbreakers....stayed slaying those boys left and right...and if i weren't married, we'd probably still be at it...thats my GIRL!!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?

A Long Walk-Jill Scott...dang! IPod, are you inside my head or something? anyhoo, this is a perfect song for hubby and i. with a boisterous little princess, its great when we can take a walk, just the two of us, and chit-chat and take some peaceful time. and now thats its warm, summer night strolls are the BEST!!

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?

Doing So Good-Destiny's Child...*ROFL* this IPod is giving me the BEST songs for this exercise...i really am feeling like this. my life is great! i want for nothing, hubby and i's plans are rolling steadily along with no problems, baby's great, mummy and pop live across the street from me...i have my friends and i'm doing so, so so so so gooooooooooood!!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP?

Someday We'll All Be Free-Donny Hathaway...ooooooooooh, loves me some donny! who doesn't want to be free to do what their heart desires when the get older? good one!

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?

It's Getting Late (Live) - Floetry...oooh, hubby, shhhhhhhhhhh...it's late...close the door and don't wake the baby...ha ha!

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?

Broken But I'm Healed-Byron Cage...hmmmmmmm, parentals have seen my at every stage, doing well, making dumb choices, being smart, being an idiot...they've helped, they've let me learn and i am the FABULOUS PCD you see today because of my life lessons

There She Goes-Babyface f. Pharrell...honey, we are some bad chicks! when we get ready to go out, we stop folks dead in their tracks! i told you how we like to get dressed up and we do so even if the occasion doesn't necessarily call for it...and i'm sure people think "there she goes" to themselves...hee hee

The Pretty Spotlight: The Ipod Touch

dear ipod touch, i'm in love with you.

now i'm no techy, but this is such a fabulous accessory that i really had to post about it today. hubby got me the Ipod Touch and i have been enamored with it for a number of reasons. the touch screen is so easy to work (even the type pad) and the format for everything is so highly organized, that it has become my new personal assistant. for men and their big hands, i must say that the type pad is a little slim, but after a little while, anyone could get the hang of it. (i did watch a man in the store type away with no hassle but he had 3 weeks of working it). i love how you can scroll thru your music by album cover. the calendar is well organized with various views that are super swell and of course...it looks so cool!







i highly recommend this to anyone who needs some organizational help and a place for their music. you'll be surprised how you'll use all of the other functions like navigation, youtube, weather and all. oh, and don't be sassy like me and think you can be lazy and purchase a stylus for touching buttons because that does not work-lol! and of course, i had to dress mine in a snazzy pink leather cover. TOO CUTE!!








***WHAT WAS YOUR LATEST TECHNOLOGICAL PURCHASE??? DO YOU LOVE IT?? HATE IT??? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO PURCHASE IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY???***

Whatcha Need?

ok, i am sooooooooo late posting today, but lil' PCD and i had to get shopping before it became too hot outside (bleh!)...

but speaking of shopping, i want to know what are the things you MUST HAVE during the spring and summer seasons. or even throughout the year....what do you absolutely NEED to stay refreshed, smelling/feeling good, and of course, looking your best?

for PCD, the list is as follows....

NARS skin body smoother-its so luxurious!

NARS skin hydrating body serum...just lilke the butter, but with a baby oil-ish feel. makes you feel like a baby's bum-bum! (great for right after showers and at night)

The Body Shop-Guarana Lip Butter....smells and feels llike a dream! and all of the proceeds go to AIDS education

MAC lip gelee....not as sticky or thick as lip glass, almost jelly-like. but i love the sheerness!

Louboutin Fox Trot Peep-Toe-just sit back and enjoy the fabulousness that will surround your toes in this fab pair of peepers!

a pair of CRAZY shades...because no one looks cute squinting in the sun!

i LOVE flip-floppy sandals! these pair by colin stuart are casually comfy yet pizzazzy too!

regular flip-flops....of course i was drawn to these because they're pink...but this type of flip-flop can be found on my feet 4 out of 7 days a week!

Dank Tote Bag...not only is it fab looking...it's big enough to fit my junk and a few diapers and baby stuff in it!

my mixed cd...usually stacked with tunes like "heaven must feel like this"-ohio players, "golden"-jill scott, "perfect love affair"-anita baker, "everybody loves the sunshine"-roy ayers, "heaven"-conya doss, "love, love, love"-donny hathaway, "love's holiday"-EWF, "i want you"-erykah badu, "i wish i didn't love you so"-marvin gaye, "in a sentimental mood"-phyllis hyman, "fat bottomed girls"-queen, "nights over egypt"-the jones girls, "bullet proof soul"-sade and a LOOOOOOOOOONG list of will downing songs

***WHAT ARE YOUR FAVE ITEMS FOR THE SEASON/YEAR?***

Michael Jackson's Magical Powers

....it works wonders even on animals.....

When You Unleash The Dragon....

...someone's bound to get burned! Sisqo, you are officially a MESS!!!

The Pretty Playlist: Get Your E & J!!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!
erykah badu's latest effort has dropped today....New Amerykah: Part One, 4th World War. i suggest you go out and purchase a copy! for the true baduistas, i'll give a brief summary of it.....


i want to ask, could she have been any more politically driven with this one? you've GOT to appreciate the creative way she intwines her message with her lyrics. listen closely...don't just bob your head. it's chock full of newness.



because it's been a minute since her last release, i almost forgot that erykah is from texas, so the album is very boombastic at times....that bass is FIYAH!!!!!! "the healer" is definitely a top-notch poem to hip-hop and children....(le sigh) how do i love thee badu? "me" is a stand-out song, one of the two mellow tunes....it's a beautifully sung, beautifully written ode to self and one of my personal faves. "my people" will put you in a trance with its repetitive chorus and faint singing in the background. "soldier" is a sweet up-tempo groove about the men-folk, trying to come up....an encouragement diddy so to speak. the other stand-out is "telephone". SHE BROUGHT BACK MY SLOW FLUTES!!!!!!!!!! definitely the smoothest track....badu sings "fly away to heaven brother, make a place for me brother, put in a word for me..."





of course in true badu fashion, the insert is a colorful vision of pics and lyrics so you can sing along.

PICK UP A COPY TODAY!!!!


also, janet "ms. jackson if you're nasty" has dropped Discipline today. let me tell you, even if you're not a dancer, this album makes you want to flip and flop around like you're on stage somewhere. i just want to say janet, i hate you for making me feel like the overweight, old & decrepit creature i am. now moving on from that, "rock with u" is probably my most favorite track. it's just so funky and cute! "rollercoaster" makes me want to walk in the club with my girls, just strutting our stuff around, bust out a nicely choreographed move, and dip right out as smoothly as we entered. "so much betta" is a hot diss song to another chick...."so much betta i'm for you, tired of being numba two, i do things that she can't do" HA! do it janet!!!!!!!!!!


perfect for dancing, exercising, bumping in your car or getting pumped before heading out on the town. janet brought it back with this one...i'm proud...and she's over 40 too!?!? please, no one can touch her. PICK UP A COPY TODAY!!!
