As I'm lacing up my sneakers to go to the gym I'm half listening to VH1's "Driven: Halle Berry" and I hear Berry is giving her Oscar acceptance speech and I am overcome by tears as she's saying that the Oscar is "bigger than herself. That it was for all the black women that attempted to make it in the career..." and so on. She thanks Dorothy Dandridge amongst other women...and then says optimistically/tearfully that for all the "black women" (her term not mine) that the door has now been open, and for the young girls to continue to dream because they can get there. And I break down into tears...I'm not a woman of color, I don't want to be an actress, I have my dream job and I've fulfilled every goal so far of mine except to have twins (I mean give birth to twins--dirty minds!)... but here I sobbed until I started laughing at myself. Then I wanted to share it with you so that you could laugh at me too! See boys, I never really complain about getting my period but it definitely makes me into more of whack job than I already am.

Tonight, it's thitwbar...to of course, celebrate the dawn of my birthday (so I guess I'm staying until 12 am). Oh and Drk's t-shirt came so I'm giving that to him tonight and a picture of the Favorite Dog wearing his hat. Good choice??? Let me know what you think of it.
