The Continuing Diary of A Mad Black Woman

So not too long ago I posted some quotes from a lady I work with. She’s the queen of quotes, in my opinion. And she’d really rather insult than complement. To know her has honestly been a blessing even though I don’t agree with all of what she says or how she says it. I guess Mrs. Lee can best be described as not beating around the bush…

But since I haven’t posted on Mrs. Lee in some time now, I figure it’s time for an update. Our school went on spring break a week ago. And during that week Mrs. Lee went to a casino in Atlantic City and won $10,000 playing slots with money that the casino gave her. That’s just her luck, I guess. A week later, to the day, she became a grandma. She said for months that she didn’t care if she became a grandma and that she wasn’t excited and she wasn’t going to any great lengths to welcome this child into the world. Furthermore, she determined that she would not make a special trip to go see the baby in D.C. and that her son and daughter-in-law would need to bring the baby to her. Well, Wednesday during lunch Mrs. Lee was walking the halls of our school crooning, “The baby’s coming. The baby’s coming!” You could call her the black Paul Revere. Subsequently, she took off the rest of the week and next to head to D.C. to see her grandbaby.

More to come.

P.S. The picture isn't Mrs. Lee because the lady in this picture is smiling...and white. But I'm sure she looked something like this once she won.

Shhh! It's a secret.

I want to start this entry off with a few shout-outs.

Here’s a shout out to Beth Quackenbush. It wasn’t until almost a month after she left a comment that I read her comment.

Shout out to “that girl” who commented a few times despite not knowing me. I’d encourage her to keep it up because I like the fact that some people are commenting on my blog that don’t do so because they are my friends and feel bad for me.

Another shout out to “David Goodman”. Don’t know him either, but keep it up man.

“Anonymous”, I can’t really say I agree with your views on Christians, but thanks for keeping it real.

“Starbender”, thanks for checking in. Again, I don’t know you, but welcome to my site.

“free adult web site”, best wishes to you and yours but can you please knock it off. I don’t know how to monitor my comments and I’m not into your line of business.

And finally to “fisher metal detectors”, I’m glad you like my blog and I hope you find what you’re looking for…with the metal detectors.

Come to think about it, maybe somehow my blog has some kind of key word for metal detecting fans which would explain why so many strangers leave comments. And that would also explain why Beth Quackenbush was on my site. She was looking for some new metal detector herself.

Now on to the reason for this post. Well, I actually have two stories that are worthwhile but I’m only going to post one for now. Last night I was watching some show and they mentioned this website. Allegedly if you upload your face to the website it will match the faces of celebrities that have similar features or something. I’m kind of sold on it’s accuracy but kinda not. To begin with it matched me up a couple of different times with Nicholas Cage, John Cusack, David Arquette, and Jason Biggs which has come up at least six times. But then it said I looked like Gabriel Batistuta (who?) and Mary Kate Olson while she was on Full House. Note, it did NOT say I matched up with Ashley Olson, just Mary Kate. It also did not match me up with Steve from Blues Clues and my students claim nearly every other day that I look just like Steve.

My point is, I suppose, that you should try out this site and let me know who it says you look like. It’s free and actually fun. That’s all I’m really saying. Okay, the end.
