Please sponsor me for AIDS Walk New York!

Hey!

I'm going to walk to raise money on May 16, 2010.  I don't want to fill your head with all the statistics.  Unless you've lived under a rock for the past 25 years, you know that AIDS is an epidemic.  Yes, I said epidemic!  It has not gone anywhere.  You may just hear about it once a year, but trust me.  Google AIDS, and see what you've missed.

 

I appreciate your help.  If you need assistance with the link below or any questions at all, please feel free to contact me. If I don't have an answer right away, I'll be sure to get back to you.  If you need to respond to this blog, please put AIDS WALK in the subject line, so that I can give your note immediate attention.

61st Tuesday/Monday Cloaked in the Mystery of Tuesday

Dear Readers,

Dearest Readers,

Dearest Most Greatest Readers,

However it suits you, its for you. Dear New Subscribers, Latina and Besos0115, thank you for subscribing. I must say, it was quite thrilling to sign on today and see all the extra icons. I know that there can be anonymous Readers and I love you too, but I commend my public readers (pubic, LOL!, NEVER GETS OLD) for being so out and proud. There is alot to cover today, so I will probably be back and forth. Let's consider this a 8hr blog...seeing as I will be back and forth over the next 8hrs.

LolaDate: 9:16 AM

I like that. First and foremost, I want to extend my sincere condolences to a Dear Reader who suffered a loss quite recently. You know who you are, you are loved, you are prayed for and you know how to reach me.

Oh heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains.
Kahlil Gibran

In my opinion, in the face of loss, its perfectly OK to grieve however you feel necessary. I think that you should never count down the days to the end of grieving, rather look forward to the days of laughter and sweet memories. I have never stopped thinking about the people that I have lost, rather they are constantly with me. My love for them is intensified, as it has added to me, as if I have grown from their passing.

I need a moment.

LolaDate: 9:56 AM

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack! OK, next order of business.

http://aidswalknewyork2010.kintera.org/faf/r.asp?t=4&i=331281&u=331281-289863810&e=3344449883

We are walking to raise money for Aids research and so forth on May 16, 2010. Above you will find the link that you can paste into your browser to support this. Now Dear Readers, this is not the first time I've walked for charity, but this is the first time I'm walking as a Blogger. For that reason, I'm asking you to please donate. If not to me, to someone else. If you don't feel like parting with your own money, do one better...raise money and walk. Really, I cannot tell you how great it will feel. I look forward to these walks, and truly if you decide to support me, I will not let you down. I would be HONORED to say the least to walk in the name of my Dear Readers. Even $1 counts. I am always grateful. Now, for the grease. I'm going to look carefully for my Dear Readers on my donation page. I'm so excited. I am not demanding you donate, but the next time you stand on line at McDKingCastleBell, I want you to ask yourself, do you really need that WhopperNuggetBaconTostada or what? I can tell you that you DO NOT. Donate that cash, your body will thank you.

This is a nice way to lead into our next topic which would be MY JOURNEY INTO A MEAT FREE LIFE. Yes. I am going for it. I started yesterday. I am really trying to eliminate meat from my life. Alright, I have yet to watch Food, Inc and I swear its on my agenda, but I already know that meat is not the best for my body. Here are the reasons, besides the fact that My Lovely has given it up......

1. There is no medical evidence that I NEED to consume red meat or even poultry to live a happy, healthy life.
2. There are soooo many meat and poultry free meals to enjoy.
3. As an animal lover, I feel like a PHONY when I chow down on creatures that were treated inhumanly.
4. This may just work great in my Journey To Size 8.
5. Seafood. Need I say more?

I have loads of reading to do to come up with the right diet. This week I am meat and poultry free, just to see how I like it. I don't intend YET to eliminate poultry, because I love chickens, hens and turkeys. What I did do, was go out and buy chicken that was not feed crap, pumped full of steroids and then slain in the most awful way. I don't know that I can go cold turkey, pun intended, on my feathered friends. I just much rather daydream about the bird on my plate living such a fabulous life that he was actually eager to end up next to my wheat berries and spinach.

I'm also bringing in more organic options to my kitchen. Little by little, I will keep you guys updated. Yesterday for my first day, I ate well and didn't even miss it.

LolaDate: 10:53 AM

I said in my last blog that I would update you on my Cardio Boxing with the Wii. So far, its fine, but honestly I would be remiss if I neglected to mention that I purchased THE GREATEST WORKOUT GAME EVER, JUST DANCE! Whoa. Readers, when I say fun, I mean FUN. I am pretty sure its because I can't really dance, but when I put that game in...it's like American Bandstand for the common blogger. I love it. Not only is it great fun, you (or at least I do) work up a sweat.

I'm looking forward to playing with My Lovely tonight. It feels so good to be in love with someone that you can be an ass with. She is the best. If you are in love with someone that you have to "be" a certain way with, you are wasting your time, not to mention lying. Let me clarify: there are somethings that I know My Lovely likes, so yes, I have made some positive changes in my life--but not to the point that I find impossible. I know that there are things that she would love to see changed, but at the end of the day, I'm still Lola. She loves me for who I am and who I am able to be. Whew. That was almost a disclaimer.

Hey! Besos0115, who are you? I am not asking your identity (maybe) but out of all my Dear Readers that have publicly subscribed, I don't know who you are. You are a creature of mystery, intrigue and I pray not deceit! Anyhow, you know how I am about privacy, so I respect you. I do believe that you must be in my circle of friends, so I will be watching carefully to see if YOU say anything to incriminate yourself. I'm sorry, but ever since I fell off watching Lost, I've been hungry for a mystery.

Thanks for being here.

In other Dear Reader News, it has come to my attention that one of you has shaved your head! I must say that I will miss your locs, but you are so beautiful, I am excited to see you in your updated look. I've seen your hair short before, but I hear that its Short SHORT. Yaaaaa you! I've always been tempted to loc my hair, but I really, truly lack the commitment. As far as going as low as Short SHORT, I'm not there yet. I hope I see you soon, if not in person like God intended, I'd settle for via text....please.

Dear Readers, its 11:09 AM and I think I must go. It's been great catching up and WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, I HAVE NOT STARTED DRIVING SCHOOL YET, NOR HAVE I BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL, I thought you might be wondering, I'm getting there. Vroom vroom!

You get me, that's why I love you,

Lola

Now I have to run this through editing--what you thought I just wrote and posted all willy-nilly, nope....Lola don't play that.

58th Tuesday, Ok..its Thursday...

Hello!!!

Vroom! Vroom! Who got the keys to my Beemer? That's right, Dear Readers..I'm officially a Learner! All this good news is supposed to distract you from the fact that we last spoke on March 17. You are like an old friend, even if we don't speak everyday, it's always easy to catch up.

So March 26 was my last day of work. I bet you are trying to guess if I work for a city agency that gets Spring Break. Guess all you want, I've told you before Dear Readers, a killer could be amoung us and I don't want to give too much away. Yet. Heh. Heh.

On my last day of vacation, I set the clock (read: cell phone) nice and early to go the DMV. I called 311 that day to find out if I could obtain my permit at the DMV closest to my home. Yes, yes..Dear Readers, you are all Sherlock Holmes, yes, 311 is the information number in New York, which yes, means that I am a New Yorker. Ok?? Sometimes you seem obsessed. Anyway..311 was a waste because she gave me the wrong information-leading me to the wrong location. From the wrong location I went to the right location, where I was told that I didn't have enough documentation.

Riddle me this: If I had a NYS identification, which I could only obtain with my birth certificate in the first place, why the hell would I need my birth certificate as a form of identification? What kind of chicken before the egg ish is that?

I was going to give up. I'm quite fond of giving up, if you can't gather that from my "weekly" blogging. However I spoke to my very good friend and she gave me a pep talk.

Oh..on the subject of friends which has little/nothing to do with this blog...assuming you all have friends, you know that there are many types of friends, but the two polar opposites are the GoForIt Friend and the WhyBotherAnyway Friend. The GoForIt Friend can see the good in everything and is always in your corner. She is the friend, who though she may be going through her own ish, she won't let her problems pollute her mood to the point that she becomes the WhyBotherAnyway Friend. The WhyBotherAnyway Friend is so deep in her own waaa waaa that she does not have time to give you a pep talk, only the time to get a pep talk from you that in the long run she won't even care about. I think my sentences are kind of run on, but if I am a Friend In Your Head, you should be able to follow me. I am the GoForIt Friend, though sometimes I find myself treading toward WhyBotherAnyway. All I'm saying is, its good that I spoke to my GoForIt on Tuesday because now I

AM A PROUD HOLDER OF A LEARNER'S PERMIT!

I'm really looking forward to driving. That day I went all the way back home, picked up my certificate and carried my arse all the way back. Truly the experience took my whole last day of vacation, but it was such a great way to end vacation. Today I am probably going to go check out a school so I can get on the road.

Beep! Beep!

I'm such a mild person, I can't really imagine using my horn, unless I'm in severe danger. It would be so cool if I could record my horn tone, similar to my cell phone. Then I could say whatever I want in a soothing, pleasing tone.

GOOD MORNING, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU ARE IN A HURRY, PLEASE STAY IN YOUR LANE.

or

OH, HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS, IS THIS REALLY A TIME TO ADVERTISE YOUR BELIEFS?

or

NICE WEAVE, NOW DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD SPEED UP A BIT, SO I DON'T HAVE TO COUNT THE TRACKS?

What other fabulous things did I accomplish? Oh shoot..I nearly forgot. Over the break I decided to purchase a Wii Fit with a balance board. Alas, it was always sold out, and since I am QUEEN OF PLAN B, I instead went with Gold's Cardio Workout for the Wii. I just picked it up yesterday. So far, so good. I honestly did not expect this much and I'm only on basic training. For some reason, I thought boxing just meant punching at the screen to hit your target. No one told me that I would also have to bounce back and forth. Well. It was a funny sight. If I was not so particular about my secret covert in the darkness never in the light identity, I would post a video. I'm telling you, Dear Readers, funny stuff.

In any case, I'm going to stick to it. I am looking forward to getting home this evening and getting through basic training. Once I earn cash I can buy my mii cute outfits and even a panda bear. Oh shoot! I can even pick different music to work out to and my workout studio. It's going down!

My WondaSon kept telling me to punch like I was in a real fight-duh, like I have any prior experience fighting. I tease that I used to belong to a gang, but that joke gets real old, real fast.

Lawdy is it 10am already? I think its time for me to walk around with a clipboard and look at people.

I will let you know how my training goes....boxing AND driving...Vroom Vroom Pow!

You get me, that's why I love you.

54th Tuesday on a Wednesday Feels So Right

Dear Readers,

Hello! I am so excited that I am actually blogging weekly again. This is my second Wednesday, should have been Tuesday entry! Are you as excited as I am? You should be. You know what? Since you are so reserved about leaving comments, I will just assume that you are very excited.

I thank you for sharing this with me.

Today I spent the better part of the day doing something fabulous. Ready? I love when you are so excited, by the way..its a good look. I am preparing for my LEARNER'S PERMIT. What's with the crickets? I don't drive. I function so well as a passenger that I don't particularly see the urgency. However in light of recent events, mainly my QUEST TO GET TO PATHMARK BEFORE THE END OF THE SALE, I've decided to truly get out of the passenger's seat and behind the wheel. As a passenger who is madly head over heels send a minister mister in love with a driver, I realize that being a driver can be tiring. I want to be able to tell My Lovely to pull over and take the passenger side for once. She can play with the radio, look out the window, read, feed me fries...all that good stuff. I will drive. Ta-dah! I did all the research, did the online quizzes, filled out forms...I even put everything in a folder emblazoned with LOLA DRIVES in Sharpie. Everyone knows that once you write something with a Sharpie it comes true. When I pass the written test on Thursday, I will schedule classes. I am nervous and afraid to drive, but that is of no consequence, because LOLA DRIVES (say it in a strong Sharpie voice).

This is a short blog because I have ALL THIS ENERGY today and I can't bear to sit here much longer. Don't fret, my pet, because I gave you the best part of my day. What else would you like to know? What I wore today? Green, of course. No, I'm not Irish, but green looks good on me and I am sure to have a shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey today for St. Patrick's Day. I'm sure I mentioned to you before that I was born into a Catholic family. Although I don't go to church every Sunday, I do hold one thing true....Catholics will PARTY for anything! So I guess I am Catholic enough to throw back a few in honor of St. Patrick, but when everyone was giving up stuff for Lent, I got all self righteous. Self-righteousness (also called sententiousness, holier-than-thou[1]) is a feeling of smug moral superiority[2] derived from a sense that one's beliefs, actions, or affiliations are of greater virtue than those of the average person.

I know you know the definition, but I could not resist, especially since I'd never seen the term "sententiousness". I'm a word whore.

I didn't give up a thing. I have two children. I give up stuff ALL THE TIME.

Whoa.

It's 3:02. I love you, but I must go. I have to bring my brand of cheer to a relative who underwent surgery today. He is great, of course. I wish him a quick recovery-though that's best done in person, so I will catch up with you, Dear Readers, later on.


You get me, that's why I love you.

53rd Tuesday Cloaked in Wednesday, Its Evil Cousin

Good Morning!

How is everyone today? I have a band aid on my finger so I am typing a little kooky. If you see a typo, don't persecute me. Well you can, if its fun and harmless. I don't know how much of me I can afford to give you today, my staff is especially chatty. I don't know what's in the air, I guess Spring. Whatever man, I just want the end of the month to get here so I can have yet another week off. This job is sweet.

Did I tell you about my fabulous birthday weekend? When last we spoke, I told you it was coming up. On Friday, My Lovely took me to Don Coqui. YumTASTIC! I could go on and on about the service and presentation, but unless you are a foodie like me, you only care about the actual grub. We started with plantain crusted crab legs. For entrees, she had plantain crusted salmon and smashed yuca and I had oxtails and white rice with avocado. The food was so good, I barely remember what we had for drinks. My only regret with the oxtails, is that Don Coqui is not the type of place where you can suck the bones. I mean, with oxtails, you really have to get in there! You must annihilate the bone! There I was in this glamorous place with these delicious fatty oxtails and I was using a damn butter knife to gently coerce the meat off the bones. Mmmmmmmmmm. I imagine that there must be some hungry guy in the kitchen who sucks off all the old tails. Alright, that was a bit much, but damn they were good.

When we got home, we got home. Alright?? Don't start none, won't be none.

The next morning we had to get ready for my birthday dinner. I'll skip all the details, but once again...the menu counts....for the first time in my life history I had a BBQ for my birthday! Yes, grill and the whole nine. It was so much fun. I thank everyone that came, which was everyone that was invited. How often does that happen? We had so much fun. My Lovely really made my BBQ dinner spectacular. I've never loved February like I love it now that she is in my life.

On Sunday, my actual birthday, we stayed in. I pretty much vegged all day. She cleaned up from the night before. This is the time when I mention that a guest to my party makes a special drink..it was fabulous, however, this guest has a bear like grip and FOR THE LIFE OF US, we could not twist the top off the beverage container to wash it. I must remark that it had nothing to do with staying up late the night before--I'm no weakling, neither is My Lovely. Even after changing colors trying to open it, her dad had to COME ALL THE WAY FROM FLORIDA to get it open. Alright, he didn't actually come all the way from Florida to open it, but he did come all the way from Florida and open it. After My Lovely cleaned everything up, we ordered food, seeing as the menu from my party was so yumTASTIC, there weren't any leftovers. Thanks again to everyone that came.

This past weekend I celebrated my sister's 30th birthday. I had misgivings, seeing as My Lovely was not coming, I didn't expect to have so much fun. I'm so glad I was wrong. On Friday we went to dinner at Cuba on Thompson Street. Did you hear about the fire? That was us. Yep. My sister's best friend gave her a gift that was bedazzled with tissue paper and the damn paper caught a little spark from one of the candles and THAT IS HOW WE NEARLY BURNT DOWN CUBA. There were six of us, counting my sister. Onset of the fire, you could totally see our personalities based on our reaction. Two kind of looked at the fire in awe, one got up and doused it with water, one grabbed her weave with one hand and fanned with the other hand, one GRABBED HER GIFTS AND NEARLY LET THE FIRE consume her best friend, and I got up with the bill and my phone and calmly informed the waiter that there was a fire at our table.

Long story short (as if I could condense anything) the staff was very nice even though we nearly charred the white sofa.

On Saturday we all went to Volstead for the BIG PARTY. Fun, fun, fun and more fun. I even had the insight to make a call when I got home safely, something I neglected to do on Friday, because Dear Readers, I can be a jerk. At Volstead, we drank, ate and danced. My sister's oldest childhood friend came and we were all weepy and crap. What a bunch of pansies! I love us. There are loads of pictures of both events on Facebook that the majority of you will never see BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW ME! LOL!

On Sunday My Lovely, her Lovely Parents, her Work Wife, McKinley and I went to see Alice in Wonderland. Awesome! Awesome was the movie and even more awesome were My Lovely's Workwife's boots. She'd been dating them for a while and finally went to buy them. They are very time consuming like a difficult relationship, but a relationship with someone who rocks your world just right so they are SO worth the difficulty.

This blog is reading more like a journal and if this is not what you paid for, I'm sorry. Oh wait. You don't pay for this. You just mosey on down here and read if you feel like it. I don't force you. I will leave you with a conversation I had with my mother on my birthday. What you thought that I was a motherless chile?

Ma: Oh. Happy Birthday. Its so nice that you actually answered the phone.

Me: Hi Ma. Thank you.

Ma: So. Are you enjoying your day?

Me: Mmmhmm

Silence.

Me: What did you do today, Ma? Are you enjoying your day?

Ma: I went to church...

Me: Oh that's great...

Ma: ...to pray for the sinners.

Me: Ah. How'd that work for you?

At that point I rushed her off the phone. My man...is that what you do to commemorate the birth of your oldest? I wonder if I was in her prayers? Probably.

You get me, that's why I love you.

51st Tuesday - Though I Barely Trust Me

Dear Readers:

I hardly know where to begin. I have to say, I do not have the internet at home, nor am I having much luck stealing a signal anymore. That is a poor excuse for being so sporadic, but truly...this is a weekly blog and I will pay more attention. Even if it means blogging at work more often (during my lunch of course, because I wouldn't DREAM of blogging during work, otherwise) or even at My Lovely's home.

I don't mean for this to look like a monthly blog. I really do love you guys, and I apologize. Today was the first time I was even able to view my last blog online, if you read it, than you know I did it on my FABULOUS NEW PHONE, while in the mountains.

I want to welcome back my Dear Readers, plus I'd like to welcome new ones. Dear New Reader, you know who you are--I'm sorry FB was being a real hole. Each time I tried to inbox my blog address, it asks me to complete one of those ridiculous TYPE THIS TO PROVE YOU ARE NOT A HACKER OR TELEMARKETER BULLCRAP, and then when I complied, I got some dang OTHER MEMBERS HAVE REPORTED THIS POST AS ABUSIVE. I don't know who did that and honestly I cannot spend anymore time on this, my Dear Readers may get restless with such talk. In any case, thanks for asking for my address, I hope you enjoy. If this is the first blog that you are reading, you may enjoy reading them in chronological order.

Ok. Enough of that. Dear Readers, as this month comes to an end, I'd like to call your attention to March 1, 2010. March 1, 2010 is the day after my 34th birthday. Please don't bellyache that I didn't tell you. Did I mention one of my Dear Readers, the really intelligent grad who recently started a great blog...has moved on to greater things, and I wish her well. Were you guys able to check out her blog? My name is Lola and I approve of this endorsement. I crack myself up, good thing because I cannot expect everyone else to.

HERE IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED TO RETAIN BECAUSE ITS MEANINGLESS right now, I opened a Twitter. Before you start..yes, I know Facebook, My New Fabulous Phone and My Lack of Internet Access at Home has only taken me away from my Dear Readers, and YES I am aware that I don't have time to commit to something else. I do bite off more than I can chew, figuratively and literally, but I only started it to follow Tweets. I don't necessarily want to Tweet, but you know me well. Just to prove that I mean well, I only signed up the other night, and I have yet to do anything but one lousy little sentence. I didn't even mention it to My Lovely, that is how UNNECESSARY this information is. The amount of characters you are allocated are way to little for my thoughts. Imagine me tweeting an entire blog..I'd probably be fined by some group that's so important and selective that they only go by their initials.

Let's move on. LOL. I feel sooooo distracted today. This is what happens when I don't speak to you weekly. I have so much to say, so little time to say it in. Thank you for the Day After My Birthday wishes, I know I will feel the good vibes being sent my way. Of course this is another opportunity for you to send me lavish gifts. I'm proud to report that my Christmas List was pretty much fulfilled. I was so happy, I am still very happy. Special thanks to the following: My Lovely, Her Lovely Parents, a Dear Mentor, and a Dear Friend (Mama of the Cutest Lil Fantastic)for reading my blog and making this Christmas so great. I can't believe I actually got stuff from my list.

I was going to use this blog to write a nice Day After My Birthday Wishlist, but really, who the hell am I? I appreciate you for reading, that's good enough. Sometimes I fear that my persona online is going to take away from Lola Live, and there is a good reason for that. If I were to sit down and really take time to think of my favorite activities, the majority of them have to do with being somewhere in cyberspace. I like to think of myself as a relatively interesting person, but I think I'm getting to a place where I have to prioritize. I know this sounds like responsibility rearing its ugly head, but humor me for a second. I LOVE blogging, Facebook posting, texting and emailing. I am the type of person that has always preferred expressing myself through my writing, so the way the world is today is a great thing, however it could also be a disaster for me.

Anyone that has known for 10+ years would say that I was a quiet, reserved, shy person...back then. I never felt comfortable speaking up, I preferred to blend into the background. I always hid behind something, glasses, books, hair, weight...I was always hiding. My writing gave me a voice, but I still kept my thoughts (and my writings) to myself. As I matured, I would toe the line and share very little with teachers, who in turn would encourage me to do more. My first computer was in my 20's and there I found "friends" online. This was great, because I could be whomever I wanted. From there I found the Sims...where I could create whole families and relationships-something that I kind of lacked growing up.

Is this too heady for you? I'm sorry...I'm in a reflective mood-I think due to the Day After My Birthday. Where were we? The Sims took up so much of my time that I only left the computer go to work. I barely slept and took all of my meals in front of the pc. I guess I was not that hooked to the computer, because during this time I managed to get pregnant. Anyway...shortly thereafter I found something new that made me so happy...I fell in love with women and realized my true calling-Lesbian Extraordinaire. Lol! Actually, that realization pulled me further out of my shell...into happiness. I'm dragging. Sorry. I was ok for a while, but when I realized I was lacking something--I was not making time to write. I found MySpace (laugh if you want) and that worked for a while...plus the Sims. Don't forget the Sims. Eventually, I ended up on Facebook and eventually here.

Its almost to the point that I roll my eyes when the phone rings. Don't get me wrong, I am a people person, but sometimes I feel like I could revert back to my inner JD Salinger, and I don't want to do that.

I say all this to say, that as much as my true joy is writing, I cannot forget to interact in live time.

I will have loads of live time this weekend as My Lovely has a fabulous birthday planned for me. I actually have to have a little live time now, so we will speak soon.

I promise.

You get me, that's why I love you,

Lola

Greetings Dear Readers. Before I go any further, you should know that this blog is so short, it can't even rival a FB status update. The only reason for this mini blog is the fact that I'm doing it from my new phone. Blogging from a phone seems so wrong-like if Twitter was personified, it would be hella pissed. I have so much to say but I don't know if I have the thumb or battery power. My awesome new phone is a touch screen and has a full qwerty pad, but my fingers don't feel comfy enough to go that way or at least blog that way. Omg! I'm in a public place also occupied by a huge group of kids and their parents. They are so loud that my entire person feels molested. I'm not going to turn my blog into a bitch about forum, but be assured that if I wanted to, I have more than enough material. Readers, please be aware that this method of blogging leaves loads of space for error and no space for bells and whistles. If that's what you have the taste for, have a little bite and be on your merry way. NEWS: I signed up for Bikram Yoga and went three times! I only tried the one week trial. For my Dear Readers that are unaware bikram yoga is about 26 poses done in high tempertures, OMGWHYDONTTHEYCONTROLTHESEBADFREAKINKIDS??? about 100°, I think. It is super hot and super challenging. Ah ha, unlike some people's kids, my phone has a battery that runs out of charge and I have to catch up with you later. Now I know for sure why there are whole resorts that are children free.

You get me, that's why I love you,
Lola
