TGIF! Are you done with all of your holiday shopping? I haven’t started yet and why am I still cool?  What I would hate, is not to find what my little guys want.  They want a popular gaming system.  I would say, but my 7 year old is reading quite well, and you know the oldest one, he can read almost as good as I can.  It’s quite nerve wrecking in these economic times.  I’d rather not spend at the moment.  I’ve just let it be known that gifts are scaled back this year.  So, I’m going to do what I can and not stress it. So, what’s going on in your world this weekend? I have to sneak out to do a little shopping actually.  I do feel a big happy hour coming on ;-). I love saying that, because I know I’m going to have a good time. Murphy Lee, Mr. UCME, dropped his new cd, UCME Wednesday, and his birthday party is tonight at Karma. I like Murphy Lee’s swag & his music, he comes across as uber cool, and i’m going to cop UCME. If you’re in the Lou and you’re looking for something to do, well, here  you go:

Happy Saturday!  I’m just a little behind with my whole life this week.  Hope you all are well and well into the weekend.  I’m getting back to normal after kicking it with an old bud.  I’m certainly not a heavy drinker, and I prefer wine, but if I go to a place that doesn’t serve the type of wine I like, then I enjoy sweet drinks.  You know like a margarita, fuzzy navel, or perhaps absolute with a fruity juice, like papaya or something.  Thursday was an Absolute night, so I needed a little time to recuperate ;-).  Now that I’m back to myself, I’m like what’s happening for the weekend baby!!!  Happy birthday to 4 of my girls this week that are celebrating birthdays, Toya, Roz, Pam, & Yolanda.  If you’re in St. Louis and looking for something to do, well here you go:

St. Louis:

• Superfine Boris Kodjoe @ Karma ~ Saturday

St. Louis will be in for a treat when Genuwine and Tank hit the stage at The Ambassador tomorrow night.  I’ve always been a fan of Genuwine and his dancing!  And I just loved his old crew of Missy, Timbaland, and Aalyiah.  They were really turning hits out in the 90’s out of NY, and for them to still be in the game is just awesome.  Tank, a good artist, writer, and producer in his own right with a string of hits, should not disappoint.  Price point on tickets is $32.50 General Admission and $42.50 VIP.  For more information, do visit: www.ambassadorstl.com.  Enjoy!!
