I’m getting sick. I have felt it all week and it’s getting worse. Probably a combination of the drastic weather change and people round here breathing on me and shyt. I hate being sick.  I haven’t slept well all week.

I absolutely love Thorsten Kaye on All My Children, especially with the longer hair that he’s wearing now. LOVE HIM. He is such a cutie. My other soap cutie is Bryan Dattilo from Days of Our Lives. I don’t even keep up with the storylines anymore. I just tune in to see these two guys.

Now Young and the Restless….I keep up with. And let me tell y’all, they need some new characters because I’m tired of them steadily recycling people for the sake of relationships. It’s just nasty as hell. Follow me. Once upon a time Nikki was married to Jack. Now Jack is engaged to Sharon, who just a few months ago was married to Nikki’s son Nick. And Nick? Well he’s married to Jack’s ex-wife Phyllis and they have a baby. So Nick is married to his step father’s ex wife. BUT WAIT. Sharon may be engaged to Jack but she’s in love with Brad. Who is Brad you ask? Why Brad is Nick’s brother in law. He’s married to Nick’s sister (Nikki and Victor’s daughter) Victoria. Don’t remember much about Brad? Well let me help you. Brad was ALSO supposed to be marrid to Nikki but the ceremony stopped when the hospital called about Victor (her true love). So Victoria is married to and pregnant by the man supposed to be her step father (who’s cheating on her with her ex sister in law). Brad used to be married to Ashley. Ashley has a baby by Victor. Victoria is married to her little sister’s step father. Before marrying Ashley, Brad was married to HER sister Tracy and had a daughter, Colleen. That means that both of his daughters are also cousins. YOU SEE WHAT I’M SAYING! They need more people on this joint. You can’t just keep circulating men around!

And Phyllis needs her azz whooped. Her pettiness killed Drucilla. Somebody needs to lay hands on that heffa. Y&R needs to bring me on as a distant cousin to beat the hell outta her. Knock down, drag out like they used to do on Dynasty!

I love Oprah like she was Ms. Jenkins from the block. I hold her in very high regard. Such regard that when I’m rich and throwed the hell off, I won’t be buying a damn thing from Hermes. Amazing to me is the fact that normally when I tell people this, they take it as an open door to tell me what is “wrong” with Ms. Winfrey or why they just don’t like her. Guess what? I could give a shyt. Didn’t ask you and don’t care. It’s really that simple. I’m not going to argue with you about it or defend her finer qualities. I’m just going to ignore you. I received the anniversary box set of Oprah as a gift from McDreamy when we first met. I remember watching it and there was an episode where they asked Oprah what was in her purse. That flashed through my mind this morning as I took the palm charger out of my purse and put it in the glove box to make room for my fruit cup. So I thought I’d share with y’all what Original Diva totes in her bag. First of all let me show y’all my bag.

That’s what I am carrying this month except it’s a chocolate brown.  So you already know that it has my palm charger in it.  Then there’s my palm, iPod, iPod charger, wallet, check book, cell phone, eyeglasses, lime green mini notebook, pen, umbrella, makeup, comb, envelope for business receipts, bottle of 250 aleve, lotion, keys, and a fruit cup.  You’ll usually find some form of fruit in my bag.  I can be driving down the street and whip out an apple in a minute.

So….what’s in your bag?

It’s a big rage for bloggers to let their readers ask them questions and answer them. It’s an open door of sorts……a freebie. I did it once. Didn’t get too many questions but it was interesting. So I think I’ll do it again. I can’t imagine what questions anybody might have though. I tell it ALL in this blog. You should know everything about me. But if you don’t….this is your time to ask. Go ahead. Ask me anything you want all week long and I’ll answer all of your questions next Friday. You can leave them as a comment or email me. Come on….make it interesting. LOL

What WON’T happen is what happened to this chica HERE.  I have always said that there is a decent way to do everything. There are plenty of readers out there who don’t like the things I say or do in my every day life (which is interesting as hell cause they KEEP coming back to read this joint) and they make it known. I get emails all the damn time telling me why folks disagree with something I’m doing or making “friendly suggestions”. I hate that shyt. All that is is unsolicited advice and I ignore the hell outta some unsolicited advice. BUT if your azz is grown enough to say some shyt like that anonymous person did, then be grown enough to man up and own it. Now chokk is nicer than me. My folks have told me enough times to know when to take the low road. So if I get an anonymous question that is rude and disrespectful, I’mma make an example outta that person for future generations to come. Believe me.

So let the questions come forth. Don’t be scared. But don’t be rude either.

I received a question earlier this week about my affair with McDreamy. She wanted to know how it turned out. Well chica (sighing hard) he actually did divorce his wife. Interestingly enough, after being separated for close to 4 years she contested the divorce and wanted to try counseling. I don’t know what was said or what happened with that grand revelation but I do know that the divorce is final. But we’re not involved anymore. As I grow and evolve there are so many things in life I am willing to chalk up to mistakes and overlook but a lack of trust is the one that I just couldn’t get past. I love the kids, his family was really nice, and he had the potential to be a great guy. But in my soul….I don’t trust him. So I moved on. He still calls occasionally and sends me gifts trying to win me over. I got a great basket last week. LOL But I’m through. NOW….considering all the news stories and women in my life that have lost their lives due to a man acting a damn fool, I have given two of my good friends and my cousin his full name and phone number. If something happens to me remember 1 important thing. I’M DEATHLY SCARED OF HEIGHTS. I didn’t jump. I didn’t hang myself. Any story that has something to do with heights is a lie. CALL THE POLICE! I’m serious as all get out.

For anyone reading this and wondering how to walk away from someone who isn’t yours….I really can’t help you. I got some great advice from my readers when I was going through it but ultimately, he did whatever it took to try to keep me……even following through on a divorce. So I guess you could stop and ask yourself, “If Original Diva’s jackazz of a man loved her enough to actually get the divorce he promised then why should I stay with one that doesn’t love me like that.” IF that’s what you want from him. If you want a man to be in a relationship with JUST YOU. But if you want to be the other woman then I can’t help you.

I know this chick…..we’ll call her Jiffy.  Well earlier this week I noticed that Jiffy only has “big girl” friends.  She is about a size 8 on a VERY BAD DAY.  But everyone she hangs with is well above a 14.  I’ve come to the conclusion that she has low self esteem about her physical appearance so she hangs with “big girls” to be the standout of the group.

Is there anything else I want to talk about today? Yes there is.

I’m selfish. Can’t help it. Call it only child syndrome. I read A BUNCH of blogs every day but my blogroll over there doesn’t reflect that. So in essence, I’m depriving all of you of getting the same blog joy I get.

So check it out.  I have added a new page with a full blog roll on it.
