I ate a watermelon. It was delicious.  I don't have a photo. That is all.

BB-PSA: A public bathroom 

should never ever smell like hot meat and molded cheese.

TB: Before, During, and After ... A Day of Glorious Work

Tomorrow begins yet another glorious work week. So I thought why not share with you a few songs that give a decent account of how I feel about my beloved job.  And, here we go...

BEFORE WORK: 

"War" by Edwin Starr (1969) -- this song reflects my feelings while on the road heading to the venue. It also helps me prepare for a 'war of complete and utter boredom' -- see below clip.

DURING WORK: 

FlashBack! You Know You Love It: Captain Caveman

New Series Alert!  

Introducing 'FlashBack! You Know You Love It'™ series -- exclusively on BlacBlouse Blog.  

The intent of this series is to take you down memory lane...or at the very least introduce you to something from the past that may have brought a smile (or lighthearted shrug) to my face.  

The first installment in this series is dedicated to Captain Caveman -- remember this wild yet lovable character?  Never heard of him? Don't remember? 

Check out the video clip. As always, Enjoy!

Target Stores and Fire Marshall Bill - Can I Help You Find Something?

Browsing Target the other day I was approached by an employee asking if they can help me find something.  This experience had me thinking ...

Thought Bubble: Humpty Dumpty

BlacBlouse Randomness: this nursery rhyme was on my mind today. Happy Monday and as always, Enjoy!

Thought Bubble: Nothing

I have no idea what to discuss next in my blog.  I like random topics -- so I thought about writing a post on toilet tissue.  Hey, don't knock it. Toilet tissue is an important issue, especially for families of two or more. Not to mention it is a billion dollar business -- so yes, I'd say it is definitely an important topic to discuss...in a blog. Other than that...I have NOTHING. Nada. Zilch. blah.

Thought Bubble: Rejection Letters and Willy Wonka Hair

The perfect clip to view after receipt of a rejection letter. It is indeed their loss, my gain. In other news, Willy Wonka's hair - I can't take it. Hilarious.

Hey Norma Jean, How Much is Gasoline In New York City?

If you're traveling and want to get an idea of the retail price of gas for the week in a certain region - the U.S. Energy Information Administration publishes retail gasoline prices weekly. The prices are published by 5pm every Monday for all grades, except on government holidays -- data is then released on Tuesday, representing Monday's price.

Thought Bubble: I Need This Hat

Would love to walk around the house in this fabulous pink hat -- a must have this fall and winter season.

Excuse me while I pull my hair out...

My friends, I'm telling you I can never get a moment of peace. I'm a wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend. People need me. Most times I don't mind. This particular day...mmmm no comment. I love my family. I love my life. I love my friends. [LLIS]

Thought Bubble: Africa and Mary Tyler Moore

If I ever have the opportunity to travel to Africa or Europe for that matter -- I would seriously do the Mary Tyler Moore; spin in circles and throw whatever fabulous hat I happen to be wearing in the air.

My Teeth Loves You: Colgate MaxWhite Tooth Brush

I couldn't wait to share this with you...yes, I'm blogging about a tooth brush. My friends, I'm telling you there is no need for fancy products when it comes to brushing teeth. No bones about it...I'm loving it. After a good wholesome brush, my teeth feel smooth.  Long Live Healthy Teeth!

The Miracle Elixir: Green Tea

My friends, I'm probably late on this one...but, green tea is seriously making me happy. I would have never believed the claims to be true. Yet, it happened. My tummy is shrinking. Naturally, I make a conscious effort to eat well and incorporate some form of physical activity: weekly. But this stuff [the tea] works. It's true.

What brand do I drink? Nothing fancy. Lipton or Uncle Lee's Tea. Affordable. Drink about 4 to 5 cups a week. If you (or family/friends) notice any results, please twitter me or leave a comment. I would love to know I'm not the only one noticing this maddening miracle!! Try it, you may be surprised.

Commercial Break: DirecTV Opulence, I has it

This guy cracks me up...love it.

Thought Bubble: Twitter

The Story: Sometimes I don't feel like tweeting. If I bring this thought into action (which I won't), I'll probably start by gradually reducing tweet updates followed by ending the account all together. I've done it before.  Most importantly, I'll have to fight the urge to go back. Alas, it's just a thought. Twitter is addictive!

Thought Bubble: Beauty

My friends, I see beauty in the strangest of settings. Even in the midst of chaos, one can find beauty [LLB].

Thought Bubble: Job Hunting

Looking for employment every cotton picking day is a pain in the arse. I usually end the day with a happy dance....or seance, depending on my mood. Tonight I'm considering a seance. xo, BB
