Hey everyone!

Annamaria is making me type my random thoughts in my blog...you know...because Facebook just wasn't enough! LOL!

So here are my thoughts again...with a few more added in. Wanna read them? Here they go!

1. My baby gave me the best smiles this morning. I live for those moments.

2. Speaking of smiles, he was up at 1am just laughing and wanting to play. He didn't go back to sleep until 3:30, so I'm a cranky woman this morning. Luckily his laughs and smiles melt my heart - that saved him!

3. There's a sex tape, and then there's porn...with full camera crew and HD cameras. Mimi...girl, bye.

4. I miss watching my daytime tv shows now that I'm back at work - even though I have a tv on my desk. Just not the same as watching from my couch. Sigh...

5. Today is my Friday!

6. Madea is still doing plays?

7. There is a bag of M&M's on my desk just calling me. I don't know who put it there, but thanks!

8. What's up with Columbus Short beating up people and threatening his wife? Is that any way for a Gladiator to behave?

9. If you could sit down with your man/woman's ex for an hour to learn about their past relationship, would you?

10. Just had a wonderful breakfast and I'm already thinking about what I'm going to eat for lunch. Breastfeeding has me hungry like a mugg!

11. I'm out of "commuter" shape. Walking up and down subway platforms and around the city has me beat before I even get to work!

12. The ONE good thing about being back to work...I can take my time and eat slowly. I don't have to rush to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and scarf it down before my baby gets antsy. Notice I'm talking about food again.

13. I'm always thirsty too.

14. I feel like I'm the only person I know who doesn't drink wine. All of my friends and Olivia Pope make it look so nice and refreshing and sophisticated. Unless it's Moscato, I'm just not interested.

15. I think I need power steering fluid in my car. Didn't like the sound it was making this morning.

16. Am I the only person noticing random new people popping up in my Facebook newsfeed? Like people that I have not "friended" but "like" all of my posts? I have no idea who some of these people are, but hey...welcome anyway :-)

17. I'm dying to drink a soda with caffeine in it, but won't do it.

18. One of my good friends just had a baby girl on Tuesday - so happy for her and baby Zavia!

19. I still can't believe I'm someone's mother. I have a son...so surreal.

20. I think it's time to bust open that bag of M&M's!

Go!

Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!

I missed my blog...and my blog family!

- It took me three tries to log in to my Cafe Blog account. It's been THAT long since I've logged in and posted something. That's sad.

- For all of those in my blog family who may NOT know, I'm preggers!!! However, I'm pretty sure you all know that by now -it was the worst kept secret :-)

- I'm having a boy! Jaxon Dean McMillon will make his debut January 2014!

- I'm excited, happy, scared, nervous, anxious and an all around wreck - but I can't wait to see where this next chapter of my life takes me :-)

- Have I blogged since I got married? I'm married too :-)

- I have three cats. I've officially claimed my sister's cat as my own :-)

- Scandal tonight!

- I'm also watching Love & Hip Hop NY. Yeah, I said it.

- The best story ideas for me come from ratchet TV.

- Can't get with the Preachers of L.A. though. I tried...doesn't do it for me.

- I suck in Fantasy Football this year. I will NOT be repeating as champion :-(

- I'm grateful to have been at my job for 10 years now. I truly love what I do!

- I have a constant sour taste in my mouth since becoming pregnant. I'll be so glad when that goes away.

- People who pretend to "instantly" fall asleep as soon as they see me walk on the train are WACK!
Keep your seat!

- I'm always tired now. ALWAYS. But I know it's for a good reason, so I don't mind :-)

- I love all my family and friends. Thank you so much for all the well wishes and prayers!

Go!

And Anna and Serena didn't have to remind me :-)

- Looking forward to 80 degree weather today! The warmth is coming to stay!

- I bought a house! Woo-hoo!!! Who's up for the blog family housewarming party?! :-)

- Now I have a mortgage. I'm a big girl now...scary and exciting!

- Season finale for Scandal tonight. Shonda Rhimes has been putting her FOOT in this series!

- I feel like shopping for sandals. But not before I get a nice pedicure. My feet look crazy!

- My kittens are so wonderful - best birthday gift ever!

- Gotta get my writing done tonight - suggestions for topics?

- Made chicken breasts and broccoli for lunch today - even though I want Chinese food or pizza. I gotta get back on my health grind though. I've been out of pocket lately.

- How do I stop these ads from popping up on my phone? I have a Galaxy S3 - and I think they're eating up my battery. This is nuts.

- I like my own handwriting :-)

- Drinking raspberry tea to keep warm. They always have it freezing in my office when it's warm outside. Silly.

- I have an amazing mentee named Maya - love her!

- Her mother is awesome too!

- Can someone help me move? :-)

- Can't wait to rock my BRIGHT PINK skinny jeans from Old Navy. I got alotta hips, so you'll definitely see me coming! LOL!

Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!

- So...I finally have a mentee! Can't wait to meet her and her mom. I'm nervous and excited! I hope I can be a good influence, teacher, mentor...and friend.

- I'm tired.

- The weather the past couple of days has been gorgeous...but today, back to cool and drab. Booo.

- No Scandal tonight....guess I'll try to write something. Booo.

- I want the summer to be here already. If I can't take a real vacation, I at least want to wear flip flips in the warm sun for a while.

- My kittens are so cute...and so destructive! They jump on everything and scatter papers all over the place! They play when I want to sleep and sleep when I want to play. But I love them to death :-)

- My nephews make me smile from ear to ear :-)

- My sister is pretty awesome too! I don't know what I'd do without her :-)

- Any suggestions for article ideas for my writing? I ask every week and I get nothing! C'mon y'all!

- Syracuse gave it a good run and had a great basketball season - so proud of my alma mater! Go 'Cuse! Glad the Big East took it though :-)

- The movie 42 was pretty decent. Oblivion on Monday!

- I miss my boo :-( even though he gets on my last nerve :-)

- I wanna put on a sun dress/maxi dress. Soon come.

Go!

Happy Random Thoughts Thursday!

- Annamaria reminded me that it was Thursday. It feels like a Wednesday to me, but maybe that's because I was out Monday. Glad to know I'm one day closer to the weekend!

- My nephew turned 9 years old this past Saturday - how is that even possible?! I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday! Next year he'll be in double digits and a pre-teen. Slow down!!!

- How does my sister have a child who is 9 and one who is 6 and I don't have any yet? That just seems odd. But not really...but it does.

- I need ideas for my Madamenoire.com articles - anyone have any suggestions?

- I hope that this year brings me many amazing opportunities to grow and prosper :-)

- I don't even see how I have time to blog today given how busy I always seem to be. I need a nice, long vacation. Anywhere. Just doing nothing.

- This woman at work announced her pregnancy to her department with balloons and cupcakes, but then when I said "Congratulations" to her, she looked at me funny and replied, "how did you know?"

Um...maybe because you made a big production out of it?

- I'm so thankful for all that I have...health, happiness, family, friends...love. Everything else is secondary.

- Time for some ginger tea! I feel another cold coming on.

- What's for lunch?

- Syracuse gonna WHOOP Michigan this weekend in their Final Four match up. My boo better be ready to hear my mouth. Go Cuse!

Go!
