I love coming home from a hard days work and finding a magazine or even better a Netflix in my mail box. It is like getting a present that you sent to yourself I just love it. However, I also like stopping at the redbox after grocery shopping and going home to watch my movie but that is the kicker. I have to be in a movie mood to get redbox; even though it is only a buck a day it could add up. Let’s say you stop to get your redbox movie then Mr. Right Now calls to take you out or your girls want to go out for a drink or even worse your child has a ton of homework that he/she needs your help to complete. If any of those things happen your buck just turned into two bucks because you are not watching that movie tonight.
On the other hand you are ready to watch the movie that your Netflix queue says will be delivered tonight and guess what it is not in your box. This has happened to me and if my Mom and Sister didn’t work for the post office I would swear the mail person was stealing my movies. So, I ask Netflix or Redbox? In my case both because I love movies that much. However for you average movie goers Redbox is right up your alley. I am charging all of you that are reading this to be like Nike and “Just do it.” Try it once and you will love it. As a matter of fact the next time I get a code for free movies I will post on this blog so be on the look out.
Thank you…
I want to take this time to thank you all for your well wishes and prayers I will need them. I also want to thank you for supporting my blog and I hope you continue pass my link on to your friends. I promise you all it will get juicy soon.

Real Talk
Real Talk I got some scary ass news this morning. I woke up knowing I had a doctor’s appointment and that it was not going to be good but damn when he actually said I had tumors Fibroid tumors I instantly got sad. No biggie is what this fool told me. No biggie my ass. I have something inside my womanly parts that is not supposed to be there and this asshole told me no biggie. Where did he get his bedside manners from HOUSE? I know I will be ok but all I wanted was my mommy when I got the news. So, that is where I went; straight to my mom house and she just talked to me and I felt better. We didn’t talk about the issue we just talked and I love her for that.
Ladies our bodies are at war and the foods we eat and the abuse we do to it is not helping. Go to the doctor if you think something is wrong. I don’t care if you think it is small make them tell you what is wrong. Catch what ever it may be early. My news could have been HIV positive or Cancer and that is something you don’t play with. I didn’t cause this to happen as a matter of fact there is nothing I could have done to prevent it from happening. My lesson from all of this is that my body is truly a temple and going forward I will treat it as such. I am not giving up my fried chicken, fries, or barb-que but I will control other things.
On another note…
Did Winter just sneak up on us? I can’t believe how cold it is outside. Man, this is November weather if you ask me. I spent my cold Monday night watching Hero’s which has way too many character, plots, and twist for me to keep up but it is still a good show and Gossip Girl. Yes my grown ass watch Gossip Girl. I think Blair is my favorite character she is a young Erica Kane rich, beautiful, and pure evil. Due to my news this morning I decided not to cook dinner and just relax with my cover and remote control.
The Juice…
Brown shoes white socks is history for those of you who don’t know what I am talking about it is a man. Am I the only one that names my boyfriends? My sister and I have been doing this for years. The most famous of the names is PONYTAIL stop laughing Very Sherri. After 2 ½ months of dating I finally had to give him the boot. Brown shoes white socks (BSWS) was just boring and not really ready for Totally Tania so in the words of Jay-Z “On to the next one.”

FAME
You want Fame well Fame cost and right here right now is where you start paying in SWEAT! Remember, Remember, Remember. Now re-read that sentence in the voice of Debbie Allen and you got the first line of the movie Fame and the best line from the TV show Fame.
I was so excited when I finally sat down in my seat early Saturday morning with my movie popcorn, sweet tea and chocolate covered peanuts that I snuck into the theatre. Concession cost too much don’t you agree? Any who back to the movie they carefully introduced you to each character as the beginning credits rolled and you got a glimpse of each major player just like the original. It took forever to get juicy just like the original it had about 3 major performance pieces just like the original the only thing missing was Leroy. Where was Leroy? I know he made the TV show famous not the movie but fans wanted to see a Leroy character at least this fan did. I was disappointed in the movie over all but we will see these very talented kids in something else soon.
On TV…
Did you check out the show Brothers on Fox? When I say bogus ass hell I ain’t playing. No, no, no in the words of my sister “This show will not last.” However my son and I have been waiting all summer for “The Cleveland Show.” This is a spin off from Family Guy and you know that show is funny as hell. Can you say Loved it! Yes we did. We got one black show this season that might make it and it is a cartoon. That is a damn shame. LOL.
Yes I talk Sports…
Da Bears! We pulled it off. My son’s football team has a better record. The Lombard Falcons are now 3-0 and Jordan is tackling everything in his path. Go #24 or I call him “The Future” this is another talented kid that you will see more of.
Lastly, I am still bumpin Blue Print 3 and Trey Songz on the Ipod and I am still looking for a new hair style. My look for the Fall will consist of a few blazers, dark denim jeans, a bad as pair of boots with a low heel because I am tall enough and a smile. Smile this week people show them all 32 of your teeth unless you are like me, missing a few. LMAO!

Where were you 11 years ago?
Eleven years ago today I was a pregnant as pregnant can get. It was actually my due date but, the being the movie goer that I am I had to see “Rush Hour” My sister and I had made plans to go if the baby hadn’t arrived by then. I remember her telling me not to laugh so hard because she did not want to be with me when I went into labor. She only 18 at the time and I understood her fear but, still I laughed as hard and loud as I could.
Today eleven years later I plan to see yet another movie this time I am shooting for “Fame” because I want to live for ever. Yes, yes, yes I have been waiting on this movie for months and I hope it doesn’t disappoint because I rented the old one on Netflix and disappointed I was. I must have gotten it mixed up with “Fame” the TV program because Leroy was hardly in it so DO NOT rent the old one in preparation for the new movie you would be wasting your time.
Friday Releases
*Fame – a must see for Totally Tania
*Pandorum- I need a date to see this (Scary)
*Surrogates- Bruce Willis is in this one so I will check it out
Now let’s talk TV…
I know many of you crowded around the set to watch the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy so tell me all about because I missed it. My damn DVR was still not working but I picked up a new one today so I am back in business. What would I do without DVR (D-I-E) that’s right I would die. However I did catch “The Office” and it was funny get on it people along with RHWOA (Real Housewives of Atlanta) Ne-Ne didn’t fail to deliver because she showed up and showed out on both Kim and Kandi. I love her clothes that chick be sharp as hell every show plus she is rocking the hell out of that hair. Go Ne-Ne!
On that note…
On my lunch break yesterday I was looking for something to ride out to so I popped in my Laura Izibor ( the chick that sings from my heart to yours) CD that I bought months ago and put it on the self after 2 spins in the CD player. It never even made it to the Ipod. However, something came over me and I realized this chick can sing. If you like Alicia Keys and Jill Scott you will love track 1 (Shine) and track 4 (What Would You Do). Check it out and let me know what you think. It is worth a $0.99 download.
Lastly, the weekend is upon us and we all have football games to attend, studying to do, hair appointment to keep, and jobs to work. I want you all to remember to pray before at least one of your meals, tell the Lord thank you, and make sure the first bill you pay is to yourself.
By the way the baby came 1 week and 1 day later. I had my first labor pain eating shrimp fried rice while dancing of course to Blackstreets hit song "No diggity No doubt."

Wow! I hit that snooze button a million times this morning. What is it about getting up to go to work that I hate so much. Don’t get me wrong I am happy to have a job and I need the money but I hate getting up. On the weekends I jump out of bed cooking breakfast watching cartoons or old reruns of the Golden Girls (that is my future) lol. However, Monday-Friday I drag each day. Once I get to work it is show time. I pull myself together and smile while I walk the walk while smiling the entire time; and try my best to assist and encourage everyone in my path which makes me exhausted as hell by noon. Is it the economy? Is it the people I work with? Am I happy? I ask these question often and I am sure you are probably doing the same thang. So what should we do about it? I would love to hear your suggestions. Right now I am going to put on my clothes, pull myself together, plaster a big smile on my face and take my ass to work; because like all of you I need the money.
T.V. Talk
Tonight is the night that my sister and I hang out and watch the NE-NE show aka The Real Housewives of Atlanta. I can’t wait for tonight’s show because Ne-Ne is going to get all up in Candi’s Ass. I don’t know who Candi think she is getting loud with Queen Ne-Ne. I want to be her when I grow up LMAO. Last night I watched a new show on FOX called “Glee” people please check this show out it is funny as hell. Imagine your high school football team performing “All the single ladies” on the field and scoring the wining touchdown while doing so. Exactly you missed it. While I am talking about TV did you notice there are no black shows AGAIN! I still can’t believe they took off “The Game.” I heard about some black show called “Brothers” that is coming on Fox Friday. Yes, I said Friday who in the hell is going to be watching TV. on a Friday night? LMAO because my no plans having ass will probably be watching it but still why Friday night.
Lastly, I am starting my morning with some old school My Life Mary J. Blige and a warm shower. Might even stop at Dunkin Donuts for some coffee I need it today. Today remember to live you life like it is Golden. I know I stole that from Jill Scott. LOL.

Hump Day!
About a month ago I left my phone at home. I didn’t even realize it until I got to work so I panicked no actually I became an electronic crack head searching for my phone like a rock in a Chicago snow storm. It was bad people. At one point I thought I heard my “All the single ladies” ring tone but nope. Then, I thought my radio remote was my phone but once again nope. We all have become junkies of electronic devices. My Dad sends text messages which is perfect for him because he does not care to talk on the phone with you very long. He is also my Friend on face book (I am so addicted) which is crazy to me but I will run with it for now until I have to censor what he can see.
Do you think you could go a week without your computer, blackberry, or cell phone? What if I made the deal sweeter and told you, you could win the $12 million that the lottery is given away. About ½ of you would try but fail miserably including myself because I am the official e-whore (e=electronic) I had to spell it out for the slow people.
If television is even still considered electronics I am in bad shape because I could not stop watching L.L. Cool J last night. His new show debuted and it was pretty good. It is a spin off one of the NCIS shows but it takes place in Los Angeles I could watch that man run all day he is just SEXY. Speaking of sexy I guess Trey Songz thinks he is. Don’t get me wrong his new CD is hot if you take out that silly ass song LOLJ. What I don’t get is him dissing my boy R. Kelly because he is a baby Kelly. He has stolen that mans entire style. Just take a look a the titles to his songs “Panty Droppa” and “I invented sex” those are R. Kelly type titles if ain’t ever heard one before so Trey Songz I love the CD but sit your ass down you owe R. Kelly an apology.
Lastly, be good to yourself today and smile because it is contagious. It’s better than spreading that damn swine flu. If you are sick stay your ass at home.

First Day of Fall
Over the weekend one of my closest friends told be about a co-worker of hers that blogs. Then she mentioned that it would be a good idea for me to start one of my own. Of course I got right on it. In this blog you will not find celebrity news but life advice and Totally Tania’s take on just about everything.
Today is the first day of fall and I want all you reading this post to fall in love with yourself this season. Most of you reading this have to take care of the kids, the house, the bills, the client, the customer but who takes care of you? By the end of this wonderful season you should have an answer to this question. Fall in love with you this Fall.
Things to check out immediately:
The Blue Print 3 by none other then my favorite rapper Jay-Z. You can’t hate on my boy with tracks like “On to the Next One” and “Off That.” He did if for me on this one it is not a classic but he is still in the fight. Where you at Lil Wayne, Gucci, Drake? Jay-Z is doing it for the grown folks.
The new Madea flick is actually not a Madea flick. She is in it but dominating the screen. This film belongs to Taraji P. Henson she did her thang and my girl Mary is just plain old Mary. Check it out and let me know what you think. This leads me to my question of the day. Do you think Tyler Perry parading around in a wig and dress is messing up our young black men? Well, the men in the barber shop think so; Speak on it your opinion is wanted.
Lastly, did you see MY PRESIDENT on Lettermen last night? It was a classic moment; he is the first sitting President to do last night. The man is breaking the mode everywhere. The quote of the night was him making the comment “I was black before I became President.” Do you think people of color are limited to which title they can hold? Look at your teachers, police, and firefighters. I just recently starting seeing firefighters of color how about you?
