Crown Royal on ice

I'm not really feeling well today.  I thought I might have a chest cold, but it's not really in my chest as much as it's in my throat down into my chest. I haven't been sick for real yet this year, this might be the one though. Hopefully not, it's all about the medication. I'll keep you posted on this one. Anyway....

I think I want to talk about a couple different things today. Thank you all for the notes, and the ladies that have taken the vow. I'm sure you can feel the difference already, if not, just hold on, it's coming. My contacts are fine, lol. I put in a new pair today...they're in the right eyes...and I'll be sure to take them out before I go to bed tonight, lol. Now that the update is out of the way...

Have you all done your taxes? I think this was the first year that I didn't do my taxes the second I collected my W-2. As you get older and acquire more things, your taxes become a little more complicated. And this year was serious.

I bought an online travel agency a couple years back, and this year I actually decided to do all of the write-offs that are one of the many benefits of owning a home-based business. Do you know you get to write off a portion of your house payment, car payment, car insurance, utilities, cell phone bill, cable bill, any meal in which you've "discussed" the business, and since it's a travel agency, ALLLLL of your travel?!!! Initially I was vexed because I wasn't able to do my taxes myself on trubotax.com and just use the "deduction maximizer". I actually had to GET a tax guy, and bring in boxes and boxes of receipts, bills, bank statements, etc. Since I hadn't really planned ahead for this, being a pack rat really came in handy, because I had ALL of this stuff, just had to empty out a few purses, clean out the car, etc, lol. So anyway, as we're sifting through all of this foolishness, I realized just how good of an investment the home based business is. I sit in the meetings and heard all they say about the tax benefits and so on, but it never registered. I'm thinking, I already bought the thing, I don't need to be convinced. Then, here I am, bad as I want to be, with boxes of receipts, and what will turn out to be quite a substantial tax return. All from going to work, having the travel channel, talking about travel at dinner, and going on vacation. I don't think it can get any better than that, but if so, please share...

Jam, Raina, and I went to the Jill Scott concert a few weeks ago, and I must say how pleased I was that she gave so much attention to one of my favorites on the new album: "Crown Royal on ice".

If you haven't had the immense pleasure of hearing this song, or better yet, experiencing what she's talking about, take a listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnvKwdgzmTM , and read the lyrics below:

Your hands on my hips pull me right back to you,
I Catch that thrust give it right back to you,
You're in so deep I'm breathing for you,
You grab my braids arch my back high for you
Your diesel engine, I'm squirting mad oil ah
Down on the floor til my speaker starts to boil
I flip s**t
Quick slip
Hip dip
And I'm twisted
In your hands and your lips and your tongue tricks
And you're so thick
And you're so thick
And you're so

Crown Royal on ice
Crown Royal on ice (On Ice)
Crown Royal on ice
Crown Royal on ice (On Ice)


WHAT!!!?


There really isn't much more that can be said about the brother to which this song is dedicated. Not the one man she wrote it for, or was thinking about when she wrote it. I mean the proverbial "Mr. Crown Royal on ice"(I know we were on "Crown Royal on ice" a while ago, but forgive me, somebody just made me think of whiskey...). We can take this a lot of places. But let's start here: The founder of the church where I grew up used to always say, "Sin will take you farther than you want to go, and make you stay longer than you planned on staying". Now, just so you all know, this is not where I break into a sermon, preaching against fornication. We all know the deal. What I want you to do is replace the word sin with "good d*ck". THAT'S what I want to talk about, lol.

How many of us have stayed with somebody we KNOW we shouldn't have, because of the D? And I would be willing to bet my bottom dollar, THAT'S the man you thought about the first time you heard that song, lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you can't have a nice roll in the hay with a good man. But, "Mr. Crown Royal on ice", is the one that you think about in the middle of the staff meeting and PRAY, that no one can see you blushing.

The other thing that always makes me go "hmmmm", is that the "good" man, usually starts out as "Mr. Crown Royal on ice", but somehow, that thing he used to do from the side with your leg this way, and his that way, and...don't get me started...he just don't do it anymore, that is unless he comes home a little tipsy after a night at the club. As a matter of fact, eventually, you could probably maneuver your way through one of your "encounters", like a blind man can maneuver his way through the grocery store. It's not bad, just ordinary...and definitely not that whiskey that comes in the pretty blue bag. But for some reason, that no good son of a....could put it down EVERY time. SO much so, that when you finally shake him, eeeeevery once in a while, you think....maybe just one more time....lol. And then prayerfully you snap out of it before you do something stupid.

Hopefully they figure out how to get both of these men in the same body before it's time for me to get married. Otherwise I don't know WHAT I'm gonna do...
