SITC #2 Getting To Know You Questions

I hate the getting to know you conversations. I mean deep Deep DEEP in my heart hate them! I don’t feel like replaying my whole life history. Naming my childhood best friends and pets. How I got my nickname. Where I did this and that. Why I did this and that.

I’m seriously considering writing a essay with all that information. I’ll add in my favorite colors, flowers, and places to visit. Then I’ll just email it to a guy instead of having those conversations. That way I save myself from having a mental breakdown!

I know you’re sitting over there thinking how do you get to know someone without asking those things. I am not saying that they can not ask. Just don’t ask me all of those in the same day! Lord have mercy! This isn’t Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!

Personally, a lot of things I learn about people, I learn over time. From regular conversations where I may ask a question in response to something they say. Not by asking 21 questions every hour! I mean really what is up with a firing squad of questions?

Can you tell I don’t like dating? Now you see why I am a serial monogamous.

The Wedding Industry

Today while chatting with my girls we began discussing the wedding industry. The hoopla and money associate with a wedding. During this conversation I stated that how happy I am I didn’t stick with the original budget we had for our wedding. How I would be mad if I had spent that much now that I am married. Some times I feel like I am anti-weddings. It might be from being on The Knot (TK) since this past July. Or seeing couples, especially the women, put so much work, time and focus into their wedding and its over in a snap! Some spend a year or more planning their wedding. Researching, looking, buying and stressing over every detail of it and the day is over before you know it. I am NOT saying don’t do what YOU want, but do NOT get caught up in the hype! I mean seriously, would you put this much time in planning a party? A get together? A retirement party? Nope... so why your wedding? It's technically a party. It is a celebration of your union. Definition of wedding (1) a marriage...

Inappropriate Questions

I am the queen of asking questions. I ask because I rather ask than assume, but I try not to ask inappropriate questions. If only others would do so too! Here are some I get and/or hear. “What grade are you in?” Um stupid motherf’er I am GROWN! Notice the diamonds on my left hand and my wedding band. The nice business casual clothes! This is a question I get atleast once a month from some random stupid person that don’t know me and they usually get a rude response. I mean if you are observant enough to look at me and think I’m that young you need to really be observant! And I’m a sistah, yes with a H! Yall know black don’t crack! “When are you due?” This one always makes me laugh when someone ask a woman who has a muffin top stomach and is NOT pregnant! I know it’s funny to me since I don’t get that question, but still how ignorant is that! “When are you having kids?” Um lets see, never! Why are you all in our sex life? I mean really! I am going to start saying, “We ...
