It was absolutely wonderful meeting all of you today!! Oh, and Nana surprising us by flying in from Dallas!!! Not only was I floored but so was Carla. I only wish we could have recorded our reactions to seeing you there Nana!!
Luvs (insert real name), the brownies were awesome. Kimmy, the cheesecake was DIVINE!! Jexy, thanks for the gift bags. Shaun…thanks for buying the first round of drinks!!!
Nana, thanks for the Texas paper weight…I will think of you every time I see it sitting on my desk. 
Here are a few of the pictures. (Click the picture for a larger image.)
Sep 29, 2008 at 7:59 AM
I’m first!
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:10 AM
I’m sleepy!
Hey Shay!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:13 AM
I am even more sick than I was Saturday.
Nana and I were supposed to hit the skrip club Saturday night, but I just couldn’t stay up another hour.
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:37 AM
Yeah, I noticed you were kinda cranky towards the end. :-p
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:37 AM
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:39 AM
LMAO!! I was NOT cranky!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:39 AM
Shay, I just got a taxi and headed out on my own.
Morning {{{{exiles}}}}}.
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:40 AM
Okay, so I don’t normally put too much emphasis on polls, but I like this one. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/9/28/75413/3350/471/612782
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:41 AM
I was sick tho!
I was about to vomit. That’s why I had to leave ASAP! When I got home, hubby had to help me into bed cause I was about to pass out. I didn’t tell nana I was that sick, cause I didn’t want her to worry about me driving her!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:41 AM
nana, you went on to the club without me??
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:47 AM
Well, you know us wild ones. I just walked up to some old guy in the bar on my way upstairs, and said let’s hit the night life, and well, next thing you knew we were in a cab headed out. I can’t even tell you where we went cause I don’t remember the name.
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:49 AM
LOL!!
And here I was thinking Choc was the wild one.
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:51 AM
You must’ve been sick if you didn’t hear all the noice int he background when you called to let me know you made it home okay.
Seriously, when I got back to my room, after you called, I fell asleep watching TV. I’m past “the clubbing” stage of life.
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:51 AM
NanaBerry!! {{{{{Nana}}}}}
I still can’t believe you were actually here! What a wonderful surprise that was.
Shay, no more oysters for you, fried or otherwise. Making Nana hook up with strange men . . .
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:59 AM
Was that an oyster I ate? I thought Carla gave me a Muscle. WTH??
Sep 29, 2008 at 8:59 AM
Well no wonder I got sick.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:01 AM
And Jex, you never told us you had good hair?
Goodcurlyhairheffa!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Yep. I got Indian in my family.
The mussels were the slimy things in the shell. . . :-0~~~~~~~~~~~~~
’scuse me.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:04 AM
That’s what I ate right?? A slimy muscle. I thought the oysters were in a shell too!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:05 AM
Does the indian run on yo’ momma side or your pappy’s?
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:06 AM
Citigroup bought out Wachovia bank. I guess I need to withdraw my $3.00 and take my funds elsewhere.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:06 AM
Why do people in airplanes push their seats back without asking someone behind them if it’s okay for their seat to be in their laps? Luckily for me, there was no one else in my row (I did shower yesterday morning, I promise) so I could move over one and use my laptop too.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:08 AM
nana, I never understood that. I would never let my seat back with folks behind me.
People are just rude I guess!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:11 AM
Good Morning Nana, Shay and Jexy! I SO hate I missed you all on Saturday. I actually cried when I saw the pictures! You guys all look so good and I feel like the step-child cause everyone is acquainted now ‘cept me. If I could make a sad face I would insert it here.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:13 AM
It’s o.k. Eve. Things happen for a reason. We can get together again and then you can be there.
Perhaps you and I can hang out here soon before the holidays since I have a gift to give you from Nana. Hubby was just concerned and I don’t blame him.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:19 AM
Evieeeeeee, I’m sad I didn’t get to meet you either. But, there will be a day. Show hubby a picture of all of us and tell him next time we meet, he should come too. We’ll even talk to him.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:19 AM
Thanks Shay, we’ll have to do that. I’m forwarding him the pics so he’ll see you guys really exist, lol, and how sweet y’all are.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:20 AM
Make sure you tell him I’m the one booking the cruise. Maybe that will help!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:21 AM
I just started a new diet today! If I can lose 10 pounds before Thanksgiving, then that would be good.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:23 AM
I ate wayyyyyyyyyyy too much food Saturday. And the chocolate cheesecake and brownies were delicious!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:24 AM
{{{{{Eve}}}}} Eve I missed you! I was looking forward to meeting you. But there can always be a next time.
Tell hubby we said “Hey” and that we are a friendly people. A little crazy, but friendly none the less.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:25 AM
Morning!!
Nana the wild one!! LOL! I’m at a different computer this morning while mine is being worked on. I had such a great time Saturday. Shay I didn’t know you weren’t feeling good! I agree we need to do that once a year but I don’t think y’all wanna come up here…they ain’t shiz to do here.
We most definately missed you Eve. 
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:26 AM
Shay, I have to lose 15 by the end of the October for my husband’s class reunion. And you know I have to be on point in front of all the heffas who will be reminiscing and what not.
I don’t even think I’ll wear earrings. Just get right down to bizness if I have to.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:26 AM
I’m out for school run. BBIAB.
You’re right Shay, the food was soooo good, yummie desserts too.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:30 AM
LOL @ Jexy!
that avatar is how I look and feel. FAT! lol
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:31 AM
Hey Jexy and Kimmy!
Shay I hope you feel better!
Y’all all look great and don’t need to loose nothing! Did you all go out after dinner?
Luvs is my brownie w/nuts in the mail? LOL.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:35 AM
Kimmy, I thought you looked a little top heavy!
But you are the cutest lil’ thing in person. I hate you even more now.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:38 AM
LOL @ Jexy! Top heavy is right! Eve! We missed you. I can’t wait to head to Texas. Hubby will have to come with me so it needs to be during football season so he can go to a Cowboy’s game. Speaking of Nana….
how did they lose to the Redskins?
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:42 AM
I will bring my hubby too!! We can all purchase tixs to the game and go see the Cowboys.
That would be fun!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:43 AM
oooooo! that would be alot of fun Shay Shay! From what I hear tho we need to start saving now. Those tix are expensive.
Did y’all see Tina Fey as Palin again on SNL? Sooo funny!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:43 AM
where is Luvs? He didn’t pass out from eating the rest of the brownies did he?
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:48 AM
LOL!! Those were some good brownies so I wouldn’t blame him if he did. ol’cutiepiegoodbrowniemakinghugh
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:50 AM
He is a cutie pie ain’t he?? And a genuinely good guy!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:53 AM
Morning All!
Got to work and hit the ground running.
We missed you Evie…
And, Shay no problem with the request. Just let me know when.
Y’all are just best bunch of Heffas regardless of what Ara says!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:54 AM
LOL at Luvs! Ara don’t know what he’s talkin’ bout.
Imma hold you to that brownie request. I’ll take them the week of Thanksgiving. Please and Shay Shay!
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:57 AM
Alrighty…..
Hope you are feeling better.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Unfortunately, I don’t feel better. I feel worse.
Sep 29, 2008 at 9:59 AM
LOL @ Luvs! I need that brownie recipe Luvvy.
Hopefully Shaun will pop in more from his blackberry now. He was stylin in his hat, I liked it but nobody told me he was 8′4″. dang! Course all y’all seemed 6 feet tall to me. 
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:01 AM
8″4″ ???
LMAO!!
He is like 6″2″ tho’
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Sure thing Pretty Kimmy!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:06 AM
Kimmy, I wore flat shoes so that you didn’t feel like you were the only short one. Course I was still 5 inches taller than you, but who was counting!
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:06 AM
LMAO!!! That the dayum truth! Thank you for thinking of me Shay
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:08 AM
So, what’s for lunch today. I have grilled chicken and a salad.
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:27 AM
Kimmy, I’m in mourning today. Loosing to the Skins. Awful, but we’ll get back at them. Sorry about the Dawgs Luvs, that was a mess of a game. I fell asleep watching it Saturday night. And I don’t want to hear any of you young ladies talk about your weights again. All of you were skinny and cute. Then there was “fluffly” old nana tagging long. And I have to admit, Shaun gives some good “teddy bear” hugs.
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Check this out ya’ll. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/29/dnc-hits-mccains-gambling_n_130182.html
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Good morning!! I see you guys have been chatting up a storm already. All the warm and fuzzy emails over the weekend almost had me in tears!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:35 AM
I know Choc, it’s just one of those great things where we were all meant to be friends.
LOL @ Nana! I know, the Skins!
I hope your flight was a good one Nana. Hubby says thank you for the Dallas helmet. The boys were trying to fight him for it. LOL!
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:38 AM
and yes Choc you are cute! lol!
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:56 AM
LOL…thank you Kimmy!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Where did everyone disappear to?
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:29 AM
I’m here. Had to send an e-mail to by bud Bill in San Fran. I just found out the law firm I worked for there was closing down – after 118 years in business – and I had to check on him. He’s been there I think 30 years. It was a great place to work. Signs of the economy.
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:33 AM
I’m having major jet lag today. I’m so glad there’s no baseball game tonight.
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:38 AM
I’m here but laying my head on my desk until lunch.
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:43 AM
I’m sleepy as hell. T.D. Jakes was at my church last night and I didn’t get home until 10:30pm after a long, long day. Sang at both services 8:30 and 11, then back at the church at 5pm….I’m beat!! I didn’t get into the office until 10 this morning.
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Hey Choc!
(((((Shay & Nana)))))))) Get some rest!
Nana, did you watch B&S last night? Great show!
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:47 AM
Choc was your church packed? I love T.D. Jakes and his messages.
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Choc, I like TD. He fills the church when he’s here.
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Evieee, you know I did. I love that show. What do you think is gonna happen to Kevin. Think he’ll lose his job over it?
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:55 AM
Me no likey TD. Is he the one that sweats real bad with the tight arse shirts??
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:56 AM
I like Justin and Rebecca together. I think it’s a cute match.
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:56 AM
Did anyone see the lastest SNL skit with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin? HILARIOUS!!!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 11:56 AM
I saw that Choc. It was hil-ar-i-ous.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Nana I think Kevin will get his promotion anyway, but he and Tommy will no longer be close, and Rebecca’s mother got what she deserved finding out she wasn’t the only other woman.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Hey E-V-EEE! It was very crowded but not as much as last year from what I’ve been told. He delivered an AWESOME message!! AWESOME!!!!
What’s for lunch?
I’m eating my leftovers from The Deaux!!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:05 PM
Shay, no that’s Eddie Long that wears the muscle shirts. LOL You’d better leave that man alone!!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:05 PM
I’m having a ceasar salad with sweet tea from Publix.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:07 PM
I missed most of B&S…can’t you watch it online? I think I’ll try to do that while I eat my lunch so I can get caught up. I love that show!!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:10 PM
Has anyone else been going back and looking at the pictures over and over again? Or am I the only narcissist in the bunch? LMAO!!!
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Nope, I’ve looked at them and printed out the one at the table to put in my frame that Jexieee gave me. It will be on my desk when I’m blogging.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:15 PM
And yes, Choc, you can watch B&S online.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:19 PM
LOL! I have been too Choc! lol only I pull up the ones w/out my fat arse in the pictures. Dayum! I have put on weight and me no likey. It was so fun, I didn’t want it to end. Next time we need to go to Bellbottoms.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Y’all are some good looking heffas and hughs!!! Did anyone send Shaun the link to the new site? I’ll have to do that right now.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:33 PM
OMG, Kimmy you’re killin’ me with the “fat” talk. You’re just a lil’ bitty ol somethin’. I started to put you and Shay in my purse and take y’all home.
We are a pretty good looking bunch, huh? That’s why I bought the frames, so you can print out your favorite pic and display it so everyone will know why you got fired.
Still LMAO @ counting the number of keystrokes. Who does that?
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:40 PM
I just violated the #1 rule in office microwave etiquette….i warmed up seafood!!
Uuuggghhhh…they will be hating me for the remainder of the afternoon!!! LOL
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:45 PM
LMAO @ Jexy!! Thank goodness I don’t have to deal with that mess (counting key strokes) I just have to deal w/my boss looking at my breastescesseses. I’m starving too. Gonna go get me something.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:46 PM
OMG! I just heard somebody say “Christmas is coming” WTLivinH??????? I wasn’t ready to hear that ish.
bastids
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:51 PM
I’ve been saying Merry Christmas since the 4th of July!
I think a lot of people will find empty stockings this year.
I want to tell you all right now, do not worry yourselves with finding a gift for me. I’m very easy to please. As long as it’s pink or SpongeBob related, I’m happy.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Hey everybody, I am able to blog from my BB, this is kool. I am glad I came saturday, it was so much fun.
Sep 29, 2008 at 12:57 PM
LMBFAO @ Shaun’s new look!!
Is that your hung over look?
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:00 PM
LOL @ Jex!!
Hey Shaun!!! Glad you could join us!
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:00 PM
LOL, I don’t know where that pic came from, I am jus happy to be blogging.
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:04 PM
Great to be here Choc, thanks for sending me the link. Eve, sorry you missed it.
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Shaun, it was really nice meeting you.
And Thank you for the Wedding Gift.
None of THESE heffas seemed to have cared.

Sep 29, 2008 at 1:08 PM
Shaun, you just made Nana very happy.
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:12 PM
SHAUNSKY!!!!!!!!!
Welcome! Welcome! LMAO @ your avatar tho!!! It was great meeting your tall self.
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:13 PM
“That’s why I bought the frames, so you can print out your favorite pic and display it so everyone will know why you got fired.”
ROFLMAOPIMP!!
We are a good looking bunch tho’, if I must say so myself.
Thank God the bitties and shrimp fry ri peeeeople weren’t on the picture. Would have dampened the mood.
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Nana, I am real glad you came! I was telling my wife the good time I had. She was mad I didn’t bring her a plate. Glad you liked the gift Jex. I was suppose to pass out catalogs to everyone, but forgot. If you like the gift I gave Jex, please check out the website. All orders are accepted… LOL
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Let’s move over to the new thread so it doesn’t go to waste.
Sep 29, 2008 at 1:15 PM
gggrrrr
