Today is 1/1/11...I played these numbers in the lottery. I know its a long shot, but had to do it!
I love blogs, so I decided, in the new year, I'd start one that can totally synopsize my life. Turning 30 recently has kick started my journey to self discovery. This blog will be a journal of my experiences which I hope to one day look back on and laugh...or cry:-)
I'm on a natural hair journey, which will be discussed along the way. I'm trying to get my pre-baby body back, which will be discussed along the way. I love music and fashion and a bunch of other stuff which will also be discussed along the way.
I'm no expert, however, I would hope that my trials and errors can somehow be of help to someone, or at least create great comic relief.
Stay tuned for my adventures. I plan to have this moment for life.

...um...not sure...
Ok, so since I've had the baby, something bad has happened to my memory. I had a topic picked out for today's blog. Rae Pembroke loves...something...wait, okay, whatever. I had to go to the bathroom, but sidetracked with a work email and then...poof! Like fucking smoke it disappeared.
My hubby has been saying that I "allegedly" don't tell him things I think I do, or don't communicate my wants that I think I say, but come on...he's a man. Men do this all the time, say they don't hear you, you didn't say it, etc as a way to get out of things. But recently my mom said I did it to her. I said I asked her to go to the store and she said I didn't. I feel she and I had a whole conversation about the store and she says that never took place.
Last night, my hubby said its becoming a real problem and now I went totally blank during my blog topic. So...is it me or has my hubby rubbed off on my mom? I pick the later, lmao.
I think carrying another person zapped all my good stuff. My ability to think and say what i'm thinking out loud, my ability to tone up fat...especially in my belly, my ability to give a damn about most things, lol. Oh well...I guess the next blog will be Rae Pembroke loves...ginko golaba, lmao.

...Joke? or Real Life?
A married woman had lunch with 2 of her unmarried friends; one engaged and the other a mistress. Of course the married woman had been married for 20+ years. They were chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men by wearing a black leather bra, stiletto heels and a mask over their eyes. They agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes.
Here's how it all went....
The engaged friend: The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, "You are the woman of my dreams. I love you." Then we made love all night long.
The mistress: Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, heels and mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but we had wild sex all night.
Then the married woman shared her story: When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bodice, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. As soon as he came in the door and saw me he said, "What's for dinner, Batman??"
And the above story is why I was terrified to ever get married!

I'm Baaacccckkkk and Crack is Whack
So, I'm back Bitches!
Yes, the Rae Pembroke is back...the same only...my water has been broke. I got caught up in the "crack" game and all that lovey dovey, rock the boat, new position shit landed me bare foot and pregnant.
Now after almost a year, I have resurfaced with a whole new perspective, kinda...on life, love, babies, music, it all.
As you know my posts are quite random and will probably be even more so because I have no idea what to talk about now. My baby, celebrity gossip, sex positions while pregnant, weight, my severe hair loss...who knows where I'm going but ride wit me.
Today, I want to discuss Jodeci. Where are they and why did crack have to be their drug of choice? I know people who have smoked weed and never felt they needed to take it to the other level. Maybe even pop a pill or do a line of coke and keep it moving...but why crack. Haven't we learned its whack? Damn. On the way to work I heard "Stay" the remix. And you know the break down at the end..."oh, i'm sorry i left you so wrong, so wrong, but I really need for you to come back home...whhooooooooooo, i'm begging you baby, no, no, no, no, no, no, nooooooo" That part? It just made me remember first hearing that in like...6th/7th grade, and though I didn't get it then, it was so awesome. They made music that we loved. I remember my Jodeci boots I would wear with my stretch pants...man, classic! And crack took them away.
Below is my memorial of all those greats we have lost to crack:
Jodeci
Whitney Houston
Bobby Brown
Rick James
My Uncle Charlie
David Ruffin
Randolph Cook - Oprah's ex boyfriend in the 80's who says they got high and had good sex togehter...true...maybe
Darrly Strawberry
Christan Slater
Noelle Bush - Jeb's Daughter, Ex-prez neice
Robert Downing Jr. - almost but he made a crack comeback
Amy Winehouse - so sad, she even did an instructional video on how to hit the pipe
Donnie - My neighbor who used to shovel our snow

October 11, 2008...The Day the Earth Stood Still
Kennedy,
You are here!!! You were born at 2:28 PM on October 11th 2008 by C-Section. I went in for my induction on October 10 and after trying to get my cervix to move all night and half the next day, Dr. Sikand decided that we were both better off to go in for surgery.
The surgery was about 20 minutes after I got my epidural and then after some tugging, and while talking to your daddy, out your little head popped...and I heard you cry. It was the best feeling in the world. After that, they pulled you out and I saw you for the first time. Your Daddy took pictures of you and then they brought you over to me.
Though I was tied down because of the surgery that was still going on, they put you close to my face and I saw you up close. I felt your face close to mine, I smelled you...you cried and I cried. It was the day that my life changed for ever.
After we bonded briefly your Daddy took you out and they finished the surgery patching mommy up.
You are now home and I'm finally getting a moment to updat and say you made it here, but I'm so happy. I will post pictures of your arrival and many pictures of the days throughout.
You are so perfect...everything in its place. Lips like Momma cheeks like daddy and a head full of beautiful black hair. You are more of a blessing than I could ever have asked for. You are everything to me and I vow to work hard to make everyday a better day for you and to be the best Mommy you will ever have.
I'm watching you sleep right now and though my nights and days have been hard I would not change them for the world and love you more than I love myself.

2 days Left...Oh My!!!
So, I know you are wondering how did we get to a 2 day count down so fast right Kennedy...well the story goes something like this...
Your mom is crazy, lol. Not in a "commit me to a mental institution type way" but more in a crazy about my baby way! I have fallen so in love with you and the prospect of delivering you and bringing you home I can't wait any longer.
You due date is 6 days away, but Mommy has a sticky suspision you had no plans on coming then either. I'm not showing any progress of going into labor so we are going to come in and get you just 4 days early! I know, I know...it may stress you out a little, but get ready because I need you in my life and feel I can't go on another day without holding you in my arms.
Dr. Sikand thinks it is also a good idea that we have a more "planned" delivery so Mommy can be as relaxed as possible, no stress, no traffic, and just focus on you. I really hope and pray you totally cooperate with the induction and make it quick and easy.
After the ultrasound yesterday, we see you are 7.5 lbs already, everything in your body is well formed and working, we just need you out here:-) I also saw you have little hair on your head and you were too cute! I can't sleep for dreaming and thinking about you and how you will feel and look and smell. I'm just so anxious to get to you.
Anyhoo, I'm on my way to pick up your Grandma from the airport. I know she wasn't expecting to go into Grandma mode so fast. I've def shocked many with the decision to go forward with induction early. Your Aunts Deanna and Amber will be out of town so they will have to see you when they get back and we are at home. Your uncle B is having his reception on Sunday (which we were planning to attend had you not come) but he will also see you soon enough. We will have time to bond before the circus starts, lol.
I love you and see you in a couple of days!!!

10 Days Left!!!
Hey lil' mama!
I'm 38 weeks, that means you only have less than 2 weeks left. I had my Dr. appt Tuesday and because your Mommy is over anxious to see you, we may induce next weekend if you don't come. Me and Daddy are going to try to wait for you though, but I'm soooooo excited to see you. If you come on your own though between now and then, that'd be awesome! I know you want to see me too!!!
Me and Daddy had my preggo photoshoot thanks to Auntie Deanna. I wasn't going to do it because my belly has gotten sooooooo stretched out of control, but she reminded me you will most likely be our first, our last, our everything, so I need to capture the moment.
I think Daddy did really good on the photos! And I touched them up to make them look even better. We are a great team. I can't wait til you come because between me and Mema, you will have more pictures than you know what to do with.
I can't sleep as usual, I think you have made me noctornal (only sleep in the day). Either that or Daddy's snoring has got increasingly worse. We will def be putting him out once you come because we will need our rest, lol. I let him snore it up for the most part now and go to sleep when he leaves for work.
I love you...and I can't wait to see you...its getting sooooo close Kenny!
