I should have known better than to have Haftime trackdown our next candidate for Yay or Nay with LilMissBrown.

Heather is young and hip and cute. So of course, all of her friends would be young and cute and hip and happening and with it and together.

Boo.

She also runs an online book club for women called Uptown Literatie with her friend Whitney. They have a weekly book review column on Clutch.com She’s also a music fiend and a foodie.

Journalism 101: What New Writers Can Learn From Sadia B.

August 25, 2009

Reporter

So, I lost my phone the other day. (So long Blackberry! Hello i-phone!)

I know I lost my phone near the Urban Outfitters in Montclair, New Jersey. (I was on my way to buy another headband. It’s a long story. Right Lil Miss Brown?)

Anyway. So I lost my phone somewhere near Urban Outfitters. I came home and Googled the store to get the number.

I ended up on a site called Yelp, a pseudo social networking site where users post reviews on restaurants, clothing stores and anything and everything else in their area.

And that’s how I discovered Sadia B.

Sadia B. Stolen from her Yelp page. Sorry Sadia. I only mean the very best!

This is Sadia B. Stolen from her Yelp page. Sorry Sadia. I only mean the very best!

Haftime’s New Music Monday. With No Haftime

August 24, 2009

thumbs-up-down1

Haftime usually schools me to what’s new and hot in music.

But she has like, a life, or something. Had no time for me today.

So I’m sitting here this morning, bumping the same song on repeat that I’ve been listening to all weekend.

I know Haftime wouldn’t approve. But this is MY new music monday since she left me stranded.

Check out the conversation I had with myself about this new song I’m LOVING.

Oliver

August 23, 2009

Went to an animal shelter today. Fell in love with a dog named Oliver. If TH vetoes the adoption of this mutt with a gimpy hind leg, I will file for divorce in the morning.

Oliver is five months old. He was found on the streets of Harrison, New jersey. The vet is not sure what breed he is. But she expects his leg to recover fully without treatment.

For now, he can only take short walks.

He’s very energetic.

I want this dog. And I’ve never had one before.

TH wants to visit more shelters since Oliver is the first dog we laid eyes on.

That’s funny. He didn’t say let’s look at one more baby when Tog appeared. We just knew she belonged with us.

Okay. I’m being dramatic.

But I want this dog.

TG and Tog are already in love. And so am I.
