Lil Bitch in all women
Finals Week Edition
Or the "Aluminum Edition"
Quote of the week:
"Love is a gift, not an obligation."

Discussion of the week:"I am tough, ambitious, and I know what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay. I can throw a fit, I am a master of it."I tell you guys all the time to "seek your inner diva" and I add to that here is that sometimes you have to be "da bitch." You have to have the attitude to match the inner mode that someone or something provoked. For example, when someone makes you mad, and in your gut; sounds against any ethical code that you adhere to, you might have to play the bitch card. If you get played out at a restaurant, followed in a store, dissed at club, or called out your name, there is a time and place for everything under the sun. Stereotypically women are categorized as pious, meek, and mild. If you are that way, that is fine. But we are so a diverse sex. All the cultural pluralism among us means that we are socialized to react differently in front of similar stimuli. However today, I charge you to bring out the card in a focused way. You have to frame your words in such a crafty way so that when you are playing your card you are not showing your whole hand. For example, my sister, Sachiko the ho, has a history of showing her ass when provoked.
But she surprised Alex and me when she took us for my birfday to J Alexander's for dinner. The service that we had been horrible for the type of restaurant it was. Sachiko was fueled and was like this girl was so not getting a possible 15-dollar tip. My sister called for the manager and told me and Alex to go get the car, she did not want us to have to be there when she did her thing. You might be thinking that Sachiko the ho beat someone up or cussed someone out, but no, she finally played the bitch card correctly. She with total professionalism was like, "Dean (general manager) I have some 'feedback' (corporate world talk for complaining) for you. I brought my sister here to celebrate her birthday and I wanted it to be special. I have been to this restaurant many times before and have had a great time and wonderful service. It has nothing to do with the food. The service that we received today was less than par. I have never been here and had to 'bag' my on food, and then to receive the check before asking if we were ready for it or if we wanted dessert is just poor business. I spent over 70 dollars here tonight and she lost a great tip. I am disappointed in our experience here and moreover because this was to be something special for my sister and her friend." That is how you play the bitch card well. Of course my sister was seething and her delivery revealed the anger. But the words were well chose and on point. She came correct and brought the thunder. And she got a 50-dollar certificate in return. Alas, my sister, she was definitely raised by Mama Pat.

Mama's Korner
"I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus, underneath the mistletoe last night..." okay so it may not have been mistletoe, but Mama Pat is dating and is definitely kissing!!! My mama and 'Tom Blake' kissing in front of me, the baby daughter, I don't want to see all that. I did not grow up with my mama dating at all. No man except family so this is a whole new arena for me. Many of you may come from a two parent home or at least have seen this whole scene. It is one thing to cheerlead for my mama to date from C-Town. It is a whole other thing to see it. I am still 100% supportive. It is just new and weird. All well. Mama is getting a Papa, and ya'll he is old too, 75 to be exact. I told my mama in a joke. "He has one foot in the grave and one foot out." Hahahahaha okay I know I got jokes. I hope that everyone did not have a hell week.

Next Email which will be later today, look for the Bra Saga!!! Love you all!!!
