Jersey Girl.

People always ask me where I'm from when they hear me talk. Yes, I'm from the North East. Yes, I might say bag, water or sauce differently then you..but for gawd sake's, I'm not touched by an angel. Not that there's anything wrong with that. However, people repeat these words I say with my slight Jersey accent back to me like I'm some sort of Jersey meat head who's been raised by wolves and slightly deaf in one ear. Not that there's anything wrong with those things either. Point is, YES - I have an accent. Most people do except for newscasters, and I believe they're dead inside. My mom is from Jamaica, my dad is from Haiti, my husband is from Holland - never have I ever heckled them when they talk to me. And YES - there is a thing called Jersey pride, and although it's not my nationality, I have it. I'd just like to celebrate the good things that have come out of The Garden State ... because it's not all this ..

or ..

and we'll never forget ...

New Jersey has also produced her..

and her...

and come on, you know this was coming ...

So the next you want to mock me, have me say water, paper, sister, or any other word ending in er for your own amusement, just know that it's not fun for me, it's not educational for you, and maybe we can think about the awesomeness that Jersey has produced. I'm just sayin'.

Jersey's Finest ...

I stayed at a friend of a friend's house in Jersey .. yes, I say a "friend of a friend" cause' I don't know anyone who would have this in their house without trying to be ironic..



These ladies were hanging right over my bed. We got to know each other that night...I call them Dorothy, Rose, & Blanche.
We got sassy n shit.

Mozel tah, Octavia!!!

If you do this ....




And you book that ...



You could win this...




And kiss him...



And know her...




Thank you, Octavia. For the inspiration. You are the shit.

Valentine's Day ... the other other white meat.

Workin' the natural do Jumpin Jack Flash style! I love it! More of us should do this. And by "us", I mean EVERYBODY. And that's my OWN Network moment for the day.
