I am so sorry that I didn’t recap RHOA last night. I am struggling with my mental health (again). I have not even watched the show yet. I’m actually watching Wendy Williams right now and it looks like it was a sad episode. Anyway, I’ve had to ask my neighbors to roll my trashcan a few feet to the curb because I cannot. There is no rhyme or reason why this sometimes happens. It’s just the crazy. I will be fine. It just happens and goes away as oddly as it comes. I’m fine. I don’t need anything. I just need to sleep. So please do not call, I am fine. And it might take me a while to catch up on emails. But I will be back soon.
Let me take a few hours or days to get my shit together.
Perhaps you could do a deep dive into my old posts.
Court With Sheree is always a fun one. Scroll all the way down and read up.
I’m fond of my Killing Eve recaps
It’s always a good time to review the commenting rules…
Or you can do your own search in the search box. I promise to come back ASAP. It’s literally something that just happens. I’m fine I promise.
I am prolly going to sort of recap/ comment on RHOA. here unless I fall asleep.
I’m in San Antonio and we had 4 inches of so which is lovely. What’s not lovely is its 9 degrees with a wind chill of -1 and the state is doing rolling blackouts in our area. We get 4 minutes of power an hour so its freezing in the house. My Chihuahuas are traumatized lol
OMG, Lisa, that reminds me of my former life in Chicago. Stay safe and as warm as possible, given the circumstances.
It’s slowly getting better. We get 5 to 8 minutes of power every 30 minutes. I was born and raised in the upper peninsula of Michigan but its so rare here
Look. I do not have kids, but I got a dog I did not even want because my house got broken into. He was supposed to have a fucking JOB and he became the only thing in the entire world that I care about. He is so mean to other people (which is why I hired him) My greatest passion in life was traveling and I gave that up for him because he’s a really mean dog. The vet has refused to see him anymore. But I am happy with my boy. I literally only leave him to go to the grocery store. If I ever had a child I would not leave them ever. I imagine having a kid is more than having a dog. And I am not here for the expiration date on my dog. And my most important person and imaginary husband has been preparing to deal with me for a while. And he’s not happy about it. MY POINT AND I DO HAVE ONE, is if I had a kid, I would not be leaving it with anyone EVER. I would not be able to do it.
Know that Banjo adores you for all the love and care and concern you have given him his whole life. You have lifted each other up.
I loved when you posted a picture of Banjo, how could you not love that face? You are a wonderful doggy mama.
I don’t leave my kids with anyone except my older sister. I am too traumatized from stories of my husband when his mom really bad off on drugs, so no. No one ever from his family.
My oldest fur daughter is 16 and slowly going down. Her life is about quality not quantity right now. My vet told me last week she would like to see her lose 3 pounds. WTF for? She’s not the nicest dog either. A bit like a junkyard dog chihuahua but she loves me. Banjo loves you and you’re lucky
I told him tonight, He doesn’t even have grey hairs. He ain’t dying yet. And he doesn’t USUALLY get people food. But my husband sent some Korean pork and I’ve given him a tiny bit of that and it just fucking proved my dog is Asian and a fucking yankee. He loves being outside in the cold. Leave it to me to fall in love with an Asian fucking Yankee dog who loves cold weather and mostly ignores me.
Tamara, this may be one of my favorite comments you’ve ever made.
Yes! Love it
BWAAAAAAAAA!! Hilarious!!
I love love me some Banjo. Stay warm everyone! Tamara, cold weather is heading your way. Windy, wet and getting icy. I made sure to stop by the Alphabet Store on way home from work( it’s the ABC Liquor Store) and my kids used to call it the alphabet store when they were younger…. I trained them well! Didn’t want them to gossip about my frequent booze runs.
Anywho, apropos of absolutely nothing, my German Nivea came today!!! Y’all were right. Totally different from Walgreens Nivea. Heavy AS HELL. I just love it because I have to wash my hands all damn day and this seems to cling . Whomever posted that tip I thank you BIG.
You’re so funny!!!😭
Sorry. I just had to email my imaginary husband because I HAVE OLD PEOPLE SKIN! WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?I have like i dunno broken blood vessel? some sort of shit happening and if I even touch it I bleed like a crazy person. It’s a crime scene over here.
ooh this is sad. Kenya is struggling to keep her shit together,
WOW. This racism is hurtful. I can’t take Porsha crying.
And those were real tears, not some Candiace Dillard dry eyed crying BS.
This is bad. I am so so sorry I was unable to watch this. Say her name. Breonna Taylor.
It put things into perspective when the Canadian women said that sort of thing just doesn’t happen in Canada. I know there’s racism everywhere, but the past few years in the US has shown how far we still have to go to reduce it here. The scene where they were watching the announcement made me cry.
Heading out to work. Freezing cold with snow predicted followed by an ice storm. Hope you are feeling better. Hug Banjo for me. xo Marc
Trying to get back on after the help TT gave me to try,
The weather is so shitty here in Ohio. And my mean old 15 year old little fur baby can barely walk anymore. I adopted him after my husband took an out of state contract gig and I was burglarized two weeks later. He was the only thing that made me feel safe to sleep at night. It’s an honor for me to carry him from my bed (which he pee’s in sometimes) to his puppy pads, to his water bowl, them to one of his two favorite sleeping spots, which are both by heat sources. I love that baby so much.
*NO SPOILER* Im watching Below Deck….Captain Lee just brought me to tears. Love that man. 🙏🏼
So, Tamara, I never did figure out the Easter egg that you said was hidden in one of your posts last week. What did I miss?
One meelion dollars, Bwah hah hah 😂
I am feeling both thankful and guilty right now. I am warm. I have heat. My sister’s power has been out for about 12 hours and her roads are too dangerous to drive on to get to my house. A friend messaged me asking if I knew when the power where her daughter and young grandchildren would be on (because my husband works for the elec company). It is the same area as my sister. There are 1000’s without power here, and they will not have any until up in the day Tues. at the earliest.I rarely lose power here. Our house is close to the substation & fed directly from it. There are people complaining about elderly not having power and young children being cold. The elec company has brought in contractor crews, but trees and limbs continue breaking in our rural areas and they cannot keep the power on. Then, when all of this thaws the same areas are out of power again because of falling trees. My husband and his coworkers are tired. Lots of people are understanding and realize they are doing their best, but many are not so understanding. I am praying for everyone without power and those working to restore it.
A new furnace was installed yesterday, and we are warm for the first time in weeks. It’s zero here in northern Michigan, but thankfully, the power has stayed on so far.
Can’t. Wait. For. Spring.
I feel badly for those of you in warmer parts of the country who are getting this severe weather. Being in the Mid Atlantic, by the time these weather systems are reaching us, they’ve weakened to just dreary rain and ice. I’m bummed, because I love a good old school snow storm. Here it’s just grey, wet and blah. Been binging for two days now on OWN’s Queen Sugar marathon. The new season starts tonight. I’d never gotten into it before; it’s transformative…
Howdy – appreciate the honesty about mental health struggles – I know how it can feel. Some people are lucky and don’t get the blahs as much some struggle daily to keep them at bay. I unfortunately, am one who gets down and know the energy it takes to keep your head above water.
I send you energy!! Try one of those light boxes in the winter, they do help give a little pep. Lots of kind inner dialogue.
Xo
just listening to PETE ESCOVEDO “LETS STAY TOGETHER” featuring SY SMITH on youtube. A little sunshine to brighten your day
It’s Lent time again.
Lentil season!
Is anyone capable to do Lent? Not trying to be harsh or mean, but does anyone want to give up anything at this point? If you still can practice Lent, good for you. I can appreciate any person dedicated to their religion.
I’m going to try not to speak ill of others or myself. I imagine there will be a lot of Bless their hearts in our home for the next 40 days. I’ve been really pessimistic, so hopefully it’ll help drag me up and out of this funk and maybe have a positive impact on my kids…
I feel like there is more Shrove Tuesdays and pancakes.
Tamara I LOVEEE this picture u used
so funny
