V.I.P. Real Life * True Stories * and that other stuff

It's 2:30 a.m. and my BB (short for Blackberry for you other phone users) is vibrating off the hook.

Voni, why are you still up?

I respond, "Hustlers, never sleep"
Hustlin, Hustlin' .. Roc-a-fella... one umbrella... gyeahh!!


Honestly, I lot of my close friends have been asking why haven't I been blogging recently.  When I think about it, I can come up with a handful of excuses why I've been so lazy.  Here's a prime example summed up in one short phrase. PURE LAZINESS... So in efforts to have something written before  the day is done.

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VONI (in no particular order)


1. I cannot stand the smell of Peanuts and do not understand for the life of me how anyone can eat it without gagging involuntarily.


2. When I was 11 years old  I went to the Dominican Republic and fell in love with the Spanish culture. By the time I returned home no one was allowed to speak to me in English (even though it is my first language) or call me by my god-given name. I was Christina.

3. I love sour cream, hot sauce, & double stuffed oreos.... seperately of course

4. I am terrified of Centipedes... 

5. The Color Purple & Baby Boy are my all-time favorite movies.  Never watch either of these movies with me unless you are prepared to see me transform into Celie, Nettie or Mister in TCP or passionately morph into Jody in Baby Boy. YOU ARE WARNED!!!

6. I have a not so hidden talent. I can sing but only in the aisles of the grocery store or in a restaurant most likely belting out my favorite Deborah Cox ballad.  Otherwise if you ASK me to sing for you  I probably won't... I just cant...I'm too shy.  

7.  I have a confession. A secret I have been keeping for 6 years.  Maybe more than that.   My college roommate, my bestie, thinks that I took her pillow in haste when we were moving out of the dorm rooms.  Truth is... I stole it...  It was the softest pillow I'd ever accidently fell asleep upon and I couldn't bare to part with it..  PHEW!!! Glad I got that off my chest .. On to #8



8. I absolutely hate feet and dont understand the concept of PRETTY FEET.. feet is feet... and I don't want them anywhere near me...

9.  I am a handy-girl.  I keep this somewhat underwraps b/c technically fixing things is "the mans job". Well until the man has no idea what he is doing and I end up hooking my TV up or putting pantry shelves in my closet myself... Cats out the bag...lol

10. I havent eaten Pork or Beef in almost 8yrs.  I broke the streak the other day and I almost died.. Never AGAIN!!!
