Those are some very good questions you posted. I think most people, myself included, don't take enough time to think about the answers.

My oldest daughter always loved his books. I don't think that we have any of them around now. I'll have to introduce my younger kids to them.

I like your decorations too. My children's are taking over the office with a few on the fridge.

LOL! Our clippers keep going for a walk too... and I forget what I want to buy too when I go out with someone else! :)

Cool giveaway... I can't enter, but I just wanted to comment. This is a great giveaway and I noticed the change in detergent sizes as well. I've also noticed that they last just as long if not longer.

Thanks for posting this... I love Heroes! I wrote it on my calendar and I can not wait. I will be glued to my tv and if I can't be then I will set the DVR. I have been watching The Closer, but if it's still running then I am gonna have to miss it for this.

BTW: Your Entrecard is on my widget today. Thanks! :D

Re: Self-Hatred Within A Race– It Really Does Exists!

Petula — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:18:28 -0000

What you've presented is sad, but true. Unfortunately, Black society as a whole is in competition. Women against women. Men against men. Different shades against one another. I don't think there is ever going to be an end to this sort of discrimination/racism. Our history breeded us to be insecure about who we are and it has been passed from one generation to the next. Even if you were able to avoid it within your own family as soon as you broadened your surroundings (high school, college, work), you were met with that and experienced it personally or through associations.

It's funny because as a person who others call "light skinned" I never identified myself like that and -- although it sounds silly -- didn't realize I was considered that until I was an adult. It wasn't a phrase we used in our family. I am careful about phrases like that in my home because I have one "dark-skinned" child and I would never want to single her out as inferior or different. Unfortunately, I can only shelter her for so long.

Well-written post. Thanks.

Can I get in on this gig? :) Well, I hope everything turns out great. Maybe you'll... uh... "adjust" to the sheets.

Re: 48 Days to a Better Me

Petula — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 15:43:46 -0000

Good luck! You can do it... My commitment this year is to get in better shape. I lost 35 pounds last year and would like to lose more and get tone. It is hard to stick to it, but with consistency you can do it. "They" say it takes 28 days - or something like that - to develop a habit. So you should do great!

She sounds fabulous! Well, I think you should give her what you think she wants the most. The best gift is always something that the recipient really wanted.

Re: An excuse to buy new swimsuits for the summer

Petula — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:28:29 -0000

I would love to visit Hawaii again, but I've never been to Aruba. Come to think of it, I haven't had a new swimsuit in quite some time.
