Yep! That’s right…it’s Old School Friday! The first of many more to come!
I have signed up to participate in an Old School Friday meme, along with several other bloggers. If you want to participate, be sure to visit Mrs Grapevine’s spot.
So without further ado….here we go.
First up is one the best female groups of all time. Their vocals and harmonizing was always sharp and on point. There hasn’t been a group yet that could compare with their classiness.
I am a modest woman with desires, hopes and wishes. It doesn’t take much to get me tickled and giddy with excitement. For the most part, I am fairly content I have a beautiful family that loves me, friends for whom I am blessed to have in my life and a career/job that pays the bills.But there are some things that make me go “Ooo…can I have one of those?”
So here is Chocl8t’s “Wish List” in no particular order of importance.
No home is complete without the LG HDTV Refrigerator LSC27991! It’s a top-of-the-line, high-tech entertainment center with a LCD TV, DVD hookup, radio and slideshow option to display your favorite digital photos. With the press of a button, you can also access your five-day weather forecast and view more than 100 built-in recipes.
Yeeaaah baby!! I can see it now stocked full of water, fruit, Cranberry Juice and Grey Goose.
The Nikon D200 digital camera with all the bells and whistles! Starting at $1,600! My family has already nicknamed me Olin Mills because I keep my current digital camera with me. You will never catch me at a family gathering without my camera! Click. Click. Zoom!!
I can’t bake worth shyt but I would learn if I had this KitchenAide mixer. I would be a baking fool. Watch out Rachel Ray and Martha Stewart!! Plus, it would look great in my kitchen next to that LG refrigerator! Is anyone up for a Red Velvet cake? 🙂
I have a total of 7 remotes in my house! SEVEN! Three alone are for the TV, DVD/surround system, and satellite box in my living room. I could toss all of them in the trash, or at least in a drawer, with the Logitech Harmony 880 Universal remote. Programming is as simple as plugging it into USB port on my PC for the initial setup and adding additional equipment. Disclaimer: Future boyfriends/husbands – GET YOUR OWN! 🙂
The ever so elusive, enigmatic IBM – Ideal Black Man. I love black men to pieces!! All of you. Every part of you. Only you. My love affair with you goes waaaay, waaay back. I haven’t given up on you nor will I ever! But you must come correct and be on point with your bidness! I’ve been single and on my own for a long time but when you arrive I will gladly hand over the pants I’ve been wearing – YOU CAN HAVE ‘EM. However, check your bullshit and baggage at the door…cause that is where you will find mine. 🙂
$270 Million! This here!! This here could be the key to making some of the other stuff happen! Well, after taxes, I’m looking at about $140 million. That would be quite the nest egg! I could retire, travel the world, fill my closet with more shoes than I need, take care of mom financially, etc., etc.
HA! But who am I kidding? I’ll never win because I never play! I get mad when I spend $5 on a scratch off lottery ticket and don’t win – shyt that’s gas money! I don’t like the odds of the lottery. What is it, like a billion to one? But it sure is fun to dream.
Calling Kyeisha Fuller, of Yonkers, ugly will get you CUT! Just ask her roommate’s male friend if you don’t believe me. HA!
A woman in Westchester County is facing charges that she stabbed a man who said she was ugly.
Kyeisha Fuller of Yonkers was awaiting arraignment Wednesday on charges of assault and weapon possession.

While she probably didn’t win “Most Attractive” in her high school superlatives, she isn’t exactly a dog either. Just a wee bit violent maybe…but not too ugly. Dumb as hell….but not too ugly. A straight Gangsta…but nah, not ugly. “Most Likely To Catch A Case“? Dayum skippy!!
I was perusing the news websites like always do when I came across this eye-catching headline: “Over 40? You Can Look Young & Hip Author Says“. Charla Krupp has authored a book titled “How Not To Look Old” which was number 2 on Sunday’s New York Times Best Seller List.
…it urges women to retain a youthful appearance with brightened teeth,highlighted hair (and bangs), hip (but not too young) clothes, high heels and soft, natural makeup. She doesn’t believe in plastic surgery, by the way.

Deep Sigh
As an African American woman I am amazed this kind of crap sells and even more amazed that my Caucasian sisters are so susceptible to this. Yes, I think many more white women stress about this more than black women when they really don’t have to. Why? I don’t know. Maybe someone could enlighten me. 🙂
I think the author, Charla Krupp, has some personal issues with aging thus the reason for her book. However, a word of caution I would offer anyone considering her suggestions is to remember that how well you age or don’t age is primarily and largely due to genetics. JMO
Outside of living a healthy lifestyle, no drug abuse, minimal stress, no sun worshipping, moderate alcohol use, etc., there’s not much you can do about it. If your mother looks, or looked, like death warmed over at 40, chances are…you will too.
I’m just saying….
Within the past seven days I have received numerous birthday wishes, an award and I’ve been tagged! I am both overwhelmed and flattered by the love from my blogging family!! I am also a little tingly-wingly but that’s another post all together! (tee hee hee)
Sunday morning, while recuperating from my weekend birthday bash, I ventured to my favorite spot for my “daily dose of intelligence“, “Ignance“, and debauchery, O’ Hell Nawl, only to realize, to my sheer horror, that I had missed the best dayum awards show in the blogosphere!! That’s right folks, The Bloggin Azz Blogger Awards Show was Saturday night and they honored your girl with a Bloggin Azz Blogger Award for Being OHN It!!
This site has single handedly secured a spot in hell for not only me but for all their regular readers and staff members. So take heed…if you’re uptight, have a weak stomach, are easily offended, trying to live a clean righteous life with heaven being your ultimate goal…ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK! The place is addictive like meth and crack cocaine but in the end, you’ll still have your teeth but Hell-bound for sure!
Thanks for the love and the laughs O’ Hell Nawl!!
Hmmm…now if I can only figure out a way to get them to add me to their “Bloggers We Love” list…. 😉
Moving right along…
I Am Chocl8t
