Friday afternoon I was in desperate need of some pretty in my life. The sun was shining brightly through the window in my office, making me yearn to be outside. I needed to indulge all of my senses as well as engage in some mild retail therapy. My dark denim trouser jeans were hugging me in all the right places; my white baby T clung to my curves like a dream, and my silver T-strap flat sandals made me feel like an urban goddess. On my lunch break I went to the store and created a really chic/modern/classy/minimalist floral arrangement for my office consisting of calla lilies, purple pom pom flowers, and tall grass blades. It came out better than I expected.
Later that evening I went out to PF Chang’s with my bestie. She’s my sexy Scorpio counterpart. LOL. She made up for missing my birthday by paying for dinner, buying me the most beautiful orange-y/yellow-ish roses imported from Colombia, and a gift card to Bloomingdales. If we were lesbians she would so be my lover. LOL. We chatted about men, sex, marriage, blow jobs, children, schools, and everything else in between until about midnight. It’s been a long time since I have enjoyed the company of another woman that shares a lot of my characteristics/beliefs, so I felt thoroughly refreshed after leaving her, but not before we scheduled play-dates for her son and my boys as well as plans to hit up the art museum for a girls’ night out.
Saturday I drug my mother to the arts and crafts store and begged her to help me make some pens that look like a bouquet of magnolias and purple-ish/brown hydrangeas for my desk. Hers came out better than mine. Then she reminded that that was because she was the mother. LOL. Sunday I went shopping for my boys some jeans and hoodies. Our mornings here are starting to get cooler. I can’t wait for Autumn to officially make her appearance with the changing colors of leaves. I am dying to buy a pair of fierce boots!
Tonight after the boys are in bed I intend to enjoy a nice glass of cabernet and dark chocolate and mellow out to the love inspiring tunes of Ms. Chrisette Michele. I love her work. It’s rare to find love being sang about with such passion these days.
How was your weekend, and how do you intend to unwind tonight?
Not as good as yours but okay. Man, even I felt refreshed after reading this post. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteSounds like the Queen had a great weekend. Me i went to the movies and my dads wedding reception. tonight I plan on workin out and watch making the band. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm really starting to think Scorpios complement Virgos...but only as friends. My child hood best friend is a Scorpio.
ReplyDeleteThis was a weekend wrap up but with your poetic style that I love.
My weekend was good [just far too short].
ReplyDeleteI partied on Saturday, babysat during the day on Sunday and slept my tail off that entire night.
Don't wanna say I'm getting old but I definitely can't hang like I used too. [LOL]
Need I mention how glad I am to see you back??? :-)
My weekend was relaxing, meaning I slept most of it away. It was rainy on Saturday and overcast on Sunday. Your weekend sounded wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out what Diva meant by this statement: I'm really starting to think Scorpios complement Virgos...but only as friends.
Why do you say the only as friends part? I'm assuming you mean you don't think you would be compatible relationship wise with a Scorpio man, correct? And if that's the case, why? I'm just curious.
I can't believe you're back, please don't do that again, I've missed you soo much
ReplyDeleteHi Queen, just glad you are back...don't know how many times i checked this spot to see if you were here. Did i miss a birthday, oh hell naw...i can't believe it...if i did hold to the head and not to the heart lady, because i would have wished you the BEST!
ReplyDeleteglass of cabernet and dark chocolate and mellow out to the love inspiring tunes of Ms. Chrisette Michele.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are going to zone out of reality for a while. Enjoy
reading this was a fresh breath of air...the flow was refreshing. :)
ReplyDeleteI pretended to be your bestie because she's a scorpio like my self and of course you know you are my long lost bestie who i'm dying to meet! :) lol
