LOL a day keeps the frown lines away.

Good morning!

 

I'm conducting my first interview this morning! I thought that would make things interesting. I have many roles I play, today I'm playing the serious journalist. It will be one on one, this will give me the opportunity to structure it and present it to you truthfully. In other words you will be reading the dialogue between me and whoever I will be profiling.

 

I don't know what it is but we all generally like to read about what is happening in other people's lives. I will be conducting these interviews on interesting people I think you should know about. These will be conversations with real people. By real people I mean people you can relate to from students, graduates, business men/women, politicians and just ordinary people I think you ought to know about. The point of this is to get us reading and secondly to inspire us.

 

I honestly cannot wait to get this started. I get to do what I like and that is interact with different people and feed off different energies. Hope you're as excited as I am. These will be sprinkled with Ms_Curvy seasoning, don't you worry about that.

 

Kind Regards

Ms_Curvy

You're a winner come and claim your prize!!!


It seems as if I spoke too soon. I’m excited to announce that I am going out on an actual date soon!. When I say date I’m talking about that old system that seems to have died, where a man shows a woman some courtesy by taking her out to dinner and a movie and uses something called cash.

I’m not sure if the guys I have met have ever heard of that. Well I did say his answers are yes and amen so with everyone’s fingers crossed wish me luck. This guy seems pretty genuine though, he calls for starters. That is like a breath of fresh air in this world congested by false pretences and bullsh*t.

So I’m preparing myself for this date. Need I mention that the last real date I was on was in 2009, and they say chivalry isn’t dead, ha!. I am mentally preparing for this day/ night. I think a good place to start will be by adjusting my bites. My friend says no ordering ribs on the first date?! She says light meals and if you must display your cannibalism, a steak will do. That would explain why that guy didn’t call back after I had Buffalo wings (starter), Rib and chicken (main course) and chocolate brownies with vanilla ice-cream (dessert).  To my defence I only did that because I like the truth, and the truth is I love meat, and not forgetting I had to take a doggy bag back to the flat for my friend.

I’m excited to say the least. Its spring, I have been in hibernation for far too long.  Let go and let flow that is what I’m telling myself. And no I aint letting go of anything else other than my premature judgments, the rest is still on lock down until further notice, and that is when I get  married to be precise. This weekend the motto is Carpe Diem aka Seize the Day for those unfortunate to not have been taught by the greats who taught me.

Fancy English and aloofness aside ,to the lucky guy who got me to say yes, let me be the first one to say CONGRATULATIONS.  This will be a day to remember. You have scored yourself face time with ME! Ever heard of one of a kind? Well that was before you met me, trust me ALL the guys who have crossed my path can attest to that. I will, of course be posting the details of my date and let me just say I won’t hold back. I have furnished you with the link to my Blog so after reading this you will know only to bring you’re A-Game. Good luck!  With that said I'm looking forward to you and what you are bringing to the plate.

Kind Regards

Ms_Curvy

Yes and Amen!


Dear God it’s me again on my knees.

The wind outside is not making things any better. Its days like this I wish I had not opened Pandora's Box and kept my legs closed, then only the cold would be bothering me and not other things which I have not been getting for a while now.

As per our nightly in depth conversations you know what I ask for. Please send me a good man. A man interested in sticking around and not just for the night. If you still have those roaming around unclaimed please give him my e mail address and that is www.youwillbeloved.com

I am not like you know, asking for much. He must have some common sense and a mind of his own. You have already sent me a real man who he can model after, my father who I have watched in awe for the past 25years the one who represents what a real man is. Someone who won’t make me cry for no reason but go out of his way to see my dimples. As per our discussion you already know of course that he must have arms and a heart big enough for me and my beautiful son, he must come with the understanding that we are a package deal, you cannot get the one without the other.

You know me like no one else does, so I know you know when you send him he must know I'm not tamed in other words domesticated. Whoever he is, he must know that I put my foot in the kitchen but I come with a washing machine. A live in nanny, for his children of course is a necessity since I will also be on my own hustle. On the point of his children, the children I'm looking forward to carrying after very close introspection of his side of his family obviously. I like to have all material facts in front of me before I make an informed decision. As much as I trust my genes, some are just too strong to modify.

You are love so I won't question that the person you send to me will have nothing less than what you are. This person must have an ear, because we both know of my special gift and that is talking. He must be mild mannered and firm, someone who can balance me out. If he comes with

'the eye" that's a bonus, I love a man of very few words. Sometimes I wish you could give me a clue so I can know at least if I've met him already or if he is anywhere near me at the moment.

I'm a virtuous woman built on patience so I know he probably won’t come today or tomorrow but my faith in you gives me enough assurance and comfort that he is coming. You made me the way you did for a reason and you made him the way he is for the same reason as well. I want you to select him for me; I don't want to rely on my own judgments, because you know I have been wrong so many times before.

You have heard me going on about the qualities he must possess. One of the most important of course is respect, respect not only for you and him but also for me and what I stand for. You know how I whine about someone who will make me want to submit and give him the reigns. I want to trust him like I trust you with my wellbeing and me and my son's happiness. Could he possibly be one of those who value my opinion and wants to know what my take is, someone who trusts my convictions? He must kiss my forehead as many times as I blink and do it not because he reads my blog and knows it's what I like, but because he genuinely adores me. This man must possess an intellect unlike mine or one I know and must be well informed; he must be well informed not only on facts but on the truth which he must stand for.

I trust you so much and the strong intuition you have bestowed upon me that I think I will feel his presence the minute he walks in the room. The man who will have me at hello. To all those laughing at what I just published tell me there is no truth in what I'm saying. To you, let me tell you stand on his word, his answers are Yes and Amen whatever you have asked for in faith he will give to you in due time.

God is love..
