The Apprentice - My Reality Tv!

It's soo obvious that so called reality television is nothing more that a group of controversial socialites cast to show up and show out for the cameras - exposing themselves for 15 minutes of fame hoping to get their own spin-off show.

I Thought I would have a little fun and create my own cast members for various shows (Chicago Edition) that I would either run home to watch ever week with my bowl of popcorn with a generous amount of heart attach butter or either set the DVR. So for the next four weeks on Monday I will be giving you a new reality show with my cast members - this should make for exciting reality tv!

FIRST UP!

The Apprentice
Starring: The Bucket Drummer (87th Dan Ryan), The 63rd St. Hooker Sisters (day shift/night shift), The One Leg Beggar Lady on 22nd State Street and The Fruit bag man on 99th Halsted.

I would love to see these street savvy entrepreneurs battle the following reality television stars: Judy (BGC Season 7), Kimbella (Love and Hip Hip Season 2), Tammi Roman (Basketball Wives), Sheree (RHOA) and Tiffany Pollard (New York). Talking about a reality show with the highest network ratings ever!

Tasks:

See which team can batter and sell the most chicken @ Harold's Chicken Shack
Collect the most weed bags from 79th Ashland to Stony Island
Clear the sand of the most liquor bottles @ the Lakefront
See which team member could outlast the other in the line outside the Aid Office when they first open
Which team can clean the most chitterlings
See which team could come up with the most electronics playing snatch and run on the Red Line Train

Ok, ok...I QUIT!

Can't wait for next week...who and what show will it be?????

To Build A Bear: Raising A Boy

So I'm sitting in my bedroom watching "Dinosaur Train" with my son as he lay on his stomach with his palms resting under his chin. Watching him, I'm gawking at him amazed at the notion that I HAVE SON! I often reflect on the day I went into Labor with him - the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I literally left my baby shower after rushing to make it through opening all my gifts (due to my contractions getting stronger) and drove to the hospital which was directly across the street. I was due to deliver there so it couldn't have worked out any better.

From birth I've been smothering my son with kisses and hugs while tending to his every need including kissing and bandaging all his boo boo's (toddler wounds) along the way. I FIND MYSELF EXTREMELY OVERPROTECTIVE over him. He's like the favorite teddy bear that no one can touch! I love my little man so much but I also know right now at his age of two he's absorbing and learning at a rapid pace. He's transitioning from the clumsy toddler into my little spartan, full of strength and constantly exploring all things around him. I don't want him to solely rely on me to always be there to nurture his every need...I WANT HIM TO GAIN HIS OWN INDEPENDENCE and lean how to manage his own feelings...discovering who he is as he transitions into manhood.

I know he has a long way to go before he reaches his adolescence years but living in this hostile world that exists today can cause us parents especially single mothers to shelter our sons- not allowing them to be the little rambunctious boy(s) they are designed to be. It's not easy but I'm taking baby steps allowing him to be adventurous, exploratory and curious without me always intervening. I constantly remind myself that one day he will be climbing trees and I will not be there for every fall. So I'm learning to not react so quickly and allow him to discover who he is as he matures and build confidence in himself.

Gosh he hasn't even played him first football or basketball game and I'm already thinking about him leaving me...LOL!

I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH....I JUST LOVE MY LITTLE DUDE!

Got long legs??? Victoria Secrets Denim Sale!

Victoria's Secret

Sometimes being tall can feel like a curse. I love and embrace my height (5'9") but searching the racks in stores is tedious work when specifically looking to find a 34"-36" inseam. I often visit Victoria Secrets website to check out what they have on clearance.

I'll never pay over $50 bucks for a pair of jeans; and if I do, you better believe i'll have the option of selecting a pair of customized ass pads of any video chick of my choice to insert inside of them LOL....so check out whats available as of now. I already found two pair I will be purchasing...prices range from $24.99-$44.99.

Happy Shopping!
