A Cup-Bearer?/BLOG
I love doing Quizzes on line. Most times they’re dead on. Well, I guess they would be from the questions they ask. THIS TEST IS ME!!!!! Â Here’s what I got today based off the question: What is your Biblical Profession?Â
In biblical times, you would be a Cup-bearer!Â
A cup-bearer is a high ranking royal official who is in charge of serving wine to the king. Due the the nature of the profession, the cup-bearer was one of the king’s most loyal followers. The cup-bearer had a close connection with the king, a connection that earned him the king’s highest lever of trust.
As the title describes, you are a very trustworthy person. You only surround yourself with the closest friends and family members, and you try to stay as far you can from trouble and mischief. People know they can trust you with anything, and that you will do your best to help them. Now beware of that poisonous wine in the king’s cup!Â
Whats yours? http://www.playbuzz.com/gregs/what-is-your-biblical-profession
You are a true optimist at heart! You always see the bright side of life, always thinking positive thoughts and seeing butterflies and sunshine and unicorns everywhere! How awesome is that?? Deep down you know that no matter what happens to you, your attitude will always keep you happy and content. That’s the best way to live life, isn’t it?
It’s true, sometimes you get burned by trusting too many people and believing that everything will turn up fine, but it sure is better than thinking about every little thing that can go wrong with your life. Keep up with the sunshine and the unicorns and that smile on your face, will you?
You are such an endearing person with the best intentions always. Things don’t always go your way, but you make the best of any situation. You are a loyal friend.
YES.. I can stand to fall back! lol Im told this all the time. Very aggresive and can give advice a little too much. But as soon as I shut up… people want to know “whats wrong with you”. LOLÂ
Uh oh, someone needs to calm down a bit. And by that, I mean to not take everything so seriously. The world wasn’t made to be fixed by one person! You’re brutally analytical, a bit too harsh, and way, way too judgemental. Not everyone is perfect, and yes, this includes you! Resist the urge to glare at the girl who talks too loudly on her phone or the guy who chewed with his mouth open that one time. Take a deep breath, take a chill pill, and humble yourself a bit (or a lot).
Some Women Are Something Else… had to go there/BLOG
So….. tonight I’m just rambling. Thinking about triggered things before I lay down to sleep.
There’s this gurl who lives in my building, she has to be about 28 ( a “kid” to me.. my daughter’s that age). Very nice pleasant. She always smiles and speak and also have a bubbly personality like I do. Every time I see her, she’s always chatting with someone in a good mood.
This one night maybe about 1 in the morning. I went downstairs to the lobby to talk to security about the dog next door to me and its barking. He told me that the new neighbor will be in shortly from work and that she’s very understanding and friendly. When she came in, we talked. She told me that her dog will be leaving in the morning to live with a friend because she’s gotten complaints from the front office about him. That was cool. We stayed in the lobby and chatted with security for about an hour plus just the 3 of us…..
When….
HOMEGURL * the nice friendly one* WALTZ in staring at me… like I stole her dayum lunch money. At the same time walking towards HIM… but staring at me REAL MEAN. So, I’m saying to myself…. gurlyougotmemessedup….. we’ll tear this lobby up tonight! I never in my life had a fight…. but the way she was looking at me…. I had to turn my head, then look back at her to see if she was looking at me. Now, I usually laugh at women like that. But when she walked in, she changed the WHOLE ATMOSPHERE. She didn’t say Hi… or nothing. She came in and posted her no-shaped body….right next to him. He’s a nice guy, he was looking like… “gurl what’s your problem?” He’s a Virgo too… so I know he checked her real good when we left. Anyway…. she never spoke. Me and my neighbor.. caught the elevator to our apartments and dueced out!!! LOL
Last week… didn’t I see that…  NO BOOTY HAVING SPONGE BOB SHAPED gurl in the lobby talking to HIM?  Keep in mind.. he’s been working here almost a year.. and before that night…. I NEVER KNEW HIS NAME. I speak to everyone, smile.. and keep it moving. Now, I’m walking up to building looking at the security counter before I walk in. I could see them. So, I said to myself.. she always speak and make conversation with me, and I don’t like to jump to conclusions about a person. So, if she speaks to me.. Okay… maybe that was ME the other night “feeling some kinda way”. I said now, if she throws me shade… it was her all the time, and that means she likes the security guy and feels some kinda way about me. I walks in.. looking cute… and says “Hey…. how yall doing?” She’s looking down at her phone… LOOKING REAL MEAN * LOL*.. He’s looking at me, and we speak at the same time. I looks at her… as I’m walking to the elevators.. She took a looooooong pause and FINALLY said “hi”.  It was so low, and dry. LOL She never looked up at me… totally out of character for her. I don’t even know this child’s name.
MY point is….women STOP IT. STOP! Why must we do this to each other? What is the point? Some women are so territorial about these men. And for what? Now, I have to be on guard when I see her again, instead of looking forward to a funny and friendly conversation with her in passing. I’m also a friendly person. I speak to everyone, never have an attitude. I don’t see how women can devote time and energy into other women with this MESS. Its so petty and time consuming. Grow up!
I look forward to having my Sisters Only Gathering. I have a lot to say.
Be Blessed!
MY BFF/BLOG
Meet my BFF Charlene! I met Char 25 or 26 years ago. We worked together at a Summer Job. When I met her we instantly clicked.
What I remember the most about her back in those days. She use to ask me Cree, do you feel like working today? I’d  say Nope! She said okay…. I’mma go around and pop all the light bulbs out with my hands, so that they could send us home for the day. OMG…. its so funny thinking about that. They couldn’t figure out why the bulbs kept blowing, and sent us home EVERY TIME. We laughed, and laughed and laughed. We still talk about that to this day! LOL Â
We chat with each other everyday. We were talking about how we need to travel and get out more. We’re both homebodies, but at the same time love the finer things in life. We made a promise that we would start planning and getting out more to celebrate US in 2015.
I LOVE MY BFF CHARLENE!
MY Male BFF/BLOG
Meet my male BFF Rodney.. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE him so much. He is so silly!!! LOL He posted this of himself today…. Hmmmm should I post his real photo? LOL LOL Since he wants to act silly.
I met him 16 years ago at a gas station. I walked in and he was singing (( as he always do)) and I said umm.. you can sing… do you sing Gospel? He said yes I do! I sing all types of songs. We chatted about singing, then he asked me for my number. We talked on the phone laughed and became great friends ever since. He always calls me for advice, but what attracted me to him was that he’s wise himself…. except when it comes to WOMEN. LOL My friend, my friend my friend.
But I love him so very much. I do.
LaCrease comes on too strong- Confrontational? What?/BLOG
I was having dinner with my Sisters last week. I ordered a salad with some chicken fingers and fries. When the waitress brought the salad out, I was surprised that she bought me honey mustard sauce instead of Italian what I asked for. I guess my face was twisted and disfigured, but actually I was trying to figure out, if the Italian had changed, or did she make a mistake and send out the wrong thing. I knew she didn’t do it on purpose, as a matter of fact she was a very good waitress and at the end we tipped her well.
When she left.. my sister Yolanda **photo above** said to me…you come on too strong. I said  guuuuuuuuuurl what are you talking about? I was trying to figure out what was in front of me. I didn’t go off or get mad at the lady.. I just don’t do that at all PERIOD. SO out of the blue.. I called the lady over.. I wanted to see how SHE took what had happened based on my facial expression, my tone of voice, and my body language. When we asked her, she said Noooo.. I didn’t take it like you were mad or confrontational at all, your facial expression was like mines, when I realized that I brought out the wrong thing. She said No….you were wondering, just like I was.
My Sisters and I, sat and talked about it more… but it really bothered me later, because a few days before that…a friend told me that I  never think about the way I come on to a person. So, I’m sitting at home like….. how do I come on to people? Now my Sister knows me better than anyone. But I’ve never had a fight IN MY LIFE, never get into with people to where I lose it…. and I’m friendly. I’m missing something.. I just don’t get it. I think that I’m just very DIRECT. I know what I want to say.. and I say it.  I see I have to check my tone of voice when I’m talking with someone, also watch what I say. As a matter of fact… I’m trying not have much to say period…. (((laughing))).
Before I promise anything…. I do have a question for the leasing department in my building. And the wording of my “presentation” may put me in the category of “aggressive” but its NOT true. So.. let me brief you all. This summer we had very good weather. It was only an average of 83.. and a few 90 degree weather.My apartment for some reason stay COOL. Now we have new owners and they’re working on the heating/cooling system before winter come. As a matter of fact, they turned off the heat in late March to get started. When time came to turn on the air… we were angry because we didn’t know when it was going to come on. And to make matters worst… the AIR NEVER was fixed in time for Summer at all. We had to use fans for this 22 story apartment building. They knew it was going to take longer than they told us, but still they kept giving us different dates. Well now….. we’re having cold nights and we want to know when is the heat coming on. The heating and cooling is all hooked up on the same unit. Some people are paying $900.00 plus dollars to stay here A MONTH. These people want to know DATES. They’re NOT playing.
When it comes to Business…  I don’t just go and talk to anyone, I want to speak with the person who can make DECISIONS. The people I see everyday…. are not necessarily the people who can help me. Please don’t get upset with me because I don’t want to share my complaint with you.. because when its all said and done… you’re going to say… well I can’t help you with that… but you can talk to “such and such”. When I approach the person I need to speak with… I have to go in hard with the wording of my sentence because if not…. they’ll tell me anythang… not anything… ANYTHANG. Now, instead of me saying… Can you tell me when will the heat come on? I have to say…..Hello…. So let me ask you this…..(((looks directly into his eyes)))…Halloween is several weeks away, and seeing that you’ve been working on the heating/cooling system for more than a half a year…. 7 months almost…. do you have any dates as to when it will come on?
I feel that when people see my “nice” face.. my Christian Spirit.. they figure I have patience of Job….and they tell me anything.. I had to learn how to word my sentences… so that people would know I mean business…. and it works for me. Now… why should I have to mention Halloween? Â LOL Why should I have to mention “half a year”? That should never have to come up…. the question is simple…. but no one around here wants to answer it or be honest. So I have to go there. Stay tuned…….
BE BLESSED
