Hey Beautiful People,
Forgive me for this delayed blog
post but I’ve been trying to finish this post for weeks now and life just got
in the way! I’m currently in Hawaii (for work) and I finally found some down time
to type the final details of this blog post. And I only have the time to do it
now because I’m 2 hours behind California, so I’m loving this extra time I get
to take advantage of!
The good news is: You'd be very
proud of me because I went out twice during Super bowl weekend. However, it was very INTERESTING to say the least…So just sit back and relax and just
hear the words that are coming out of my mouth. Lol
Let's start with
Saturday...unfortunately I was hit with a migraine first thing in the morning.
So I was down for the count for the first few hours of the day. I had to take
some medication and wait for it to kick in so I would feel better. Around 2pm I
was back to my normal bubbly energetic self. I threw on my cute outfit, did my
make-up and text my girl Rhonda and told her to meet me at Xen Lounge for our 4pm reservation for their Saturday #RNBrunch.
Apparently when Rhonda got there first she was right on time to watch them set up
the stage and deliver the ice. Uh Whaaaat? We wanted to be "fashionably
late" not the first one's in the door!!! (I thought this event started at
3pm, I'm confused…you know black folks!). I arrived about 15 minutes later and
a few more people had arrived.
Rhonda had already warned me that the men looked
"suspect"...uh what does that mean??? I knew exactly what she meant
when I walked in the door (wait for it….lol). But we wanted to give this event
the benefit of the doubt so we waited for more people to arrive. As mentioned
before, black folks don't ever start on time. So we ordered some appetizers and
watched as the artists performed their sound checks, smh. We had great seats,
thanks to the promoter Brandon Anthony, with a good view of the stage to see the
"live music performances". 3 drinks and 3 appetizers later it was
6:30pm and finally show time! The singers who graced the stage were pretty
good. It was real cool to hear talented people sing "covers" of our
favorite songs. As the place got packed with more people Rhonda and I realized we
were probably 2 of the only STRAIGHT women in the Room, wait whaaaaaat?? We definitely
wanted the men to outnumber us but not by an abundance of GAY Men! Lol, Awww Damn. No one gave us a heads up what the crowd was going to be like! I should have known when Milan from Love &
Hip Hop Hollywood walked in the door and new everybody in the place! Did
we make lots of friends YAAAAAASSSSS because everyone was really friendly and
cool to talk to. But were we going to find our "future husband" in
this crowd, Ummm I think NOT! Overall, we still had a good time eating, drinking
and listening to good music. On any other given Saturday night we might have
been stuck in the house doing absolutely nothing. At least we tried…but the
waitress told us to come back on a Friday night! The next time I go I’m going
to definitely invite my favorite Hifey couple Bruce & Davion so we can go out together and enjoy the Live Music!
After consulting with Brian my
"dating advisor?" We narrowed down my choice in venues to water the game down to Pink Taco in Century City and
Rush Street in Culver City. We discussed these two options and agreed that Rush Street should
have a diverse crowd of people since it's located in Culver City.
So I made reservations for
2:30pm to go to Rush Street. My twin sister Keesha was super
excited because her team The Carolina Panthers were
playing in the Super Bowl. She was ready to go! Panthers t-shirt (check), Cam
Newton #1 Jersey (check), face beat and hair on fleek (check). We settled into
our seats and had the best waitress in the joint "Murray". To make
things even better it was Keesha's "cheat day" Lol. The menu was on
point: up first chips and guacamole, then we feasted on chili cheese tater
tots, and angus beef sliders.
Before the game came on there
were two guys sitting next to us and it was clear they had already been
drinking as they were really talkative and crackin' jokes. But one of them
almost knocked my drink over when he got up from his table. The Good News is
that the second round of drinks were on HIM (instead of me, lol). Please note 4 martini's in the picture, OH Yeah, We were LIT!!!
We got through the first half of
the game but tension was high. We witnessed some great passes but then Cam
became the victim of some unforeseen sacks. We weren't prepared to watch the
Panthers suffer at the hands of the Bronco's offensive team.
As we continued to support the
Panthers we contemplated ordering pizza the second half of the game but it
turned out that neither one of us were hungry.
Sidebar - both of us have been
on this healthy kick and have been supporting each other through this difficult
time of resisting temptation. But the fact that we have at least one
"cheat meal" on the weekend gives us something to look forward to and
helps us stay on track during the week. We've noticed that we get full quicker
and we don't need to eat as much as we've eaten in the past.
We decided to order coffee and a
dessert instead. It was delicious and we didn't finish that either.
Unfortunately we didn't meet any
cute guys but we had a good time regardless. We were in good company with a lot
of friendly people who came buy to show their love because Keesha represented
her team from beginning to the sad end. As a DIE HARD FAN is suppose to do!
Nice Outing but no Love this time around.
This just gives me a good excuse
to keep my eyes and ears open for some great “L.A. hot spots” to go hangout and
meet new people. Hey if anyone has any suggestions please let me know! It’s
going to take a Village to Marry my Ass off to the next eligible bachelor, Lol.
As if you didn't know…Stay Tuned

SingleNFabulous Must Go On!
Smooches!
