I’m back. Left the blog for almost a week to get some personal stuff figured out. It wasn’t anything major or whatever. Nor was it anything I want to write about publicly. Just needed some time to myself. Suffice it to say, if August proceeded the way it was supposed to (technically), I was to: fly to Illinois for BlogHer; return to the Midwest to attend my high school reunion; go to weddings in Los Angeles, The Netherlands and Denver; see Utah; and write 21 blog posts, three articles and make major progress on my book’s edits. I couldn’t / can’t do all of that. I needed a break.
Now that I’m back (at least, you know, to updating Funky Brown Chick) … First things first, I owe one of you a mug. Basically, to make it easy, I took 2 + 6 (because there were 26 comments on the post where I gave away a free mug), and I emailed the person who left the 8th comment to tell them they’ve won Funky Brown Chick swag. When/if she responds, I’ll send the mug. If she doesn’t get back to me or turns the prize down, I’ll pick a different winner.
That’s all for now. I’ve noticed, when I update the blog after being away for a bit, my posts are always really jumbled like: ooh, ooh, ooh, this is what happened on J-Date, here’s what’s going on with my matchmaker, and did you see MSNBC’s article about single black women and did I mention I’m leaving New York next week? I’ll cover all of this and more in due time.

I really missed you Twanna! You are like the girlfriend I don’t hang out with lol. So of course I was wondering where the hell you were! Glad everything is kosher!
Nelle: No prob!! :) Hope you like it!
Mikowrites: Aww, thanks. I RARELY go away from my site for such an extended period. I just, you know, needed a break … in a lot of different areas of life actually.
I’ve been here for years
Oooh, you know this one. “I make the tears rain down like a monsoon, listen to the bass go BOOM!” ;)
everyone needs some ” me ” time……. and the way you rock ‘n’ roll, I find it amazing
that, at times, 24/7 takes on a new meaning when you start to move and groove…..
