TV SERIES SEEKING MOMS FOR AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE!

I’ve always wanted to visit Africa. After all, despite the opinion of the “real” Africans, I too, am African and it is part of my heritage. Initially, I was very excited about this. I don’t know why, because there’s no way I could drop everything to go. But were it possible for me to do so, I wonder if it would really be something I longed to do, or something that just sounded good to the ear, but never intended to be followed up?

If I could, I would go back to my 22nd year. I mean look at me. I’d discovered the wonders of makeup, colored contact lenses, hair dye and, oh glory,…weaves! Dang if I didn’t look good, in spite of all that! LOL.

It was a year filled with ups and downs. My husband cheated and was kicked out, by his own mama, who changed the locks on her apartment door. (Yeah, we lived with his parents. I was 19 and he was 18…but that’s another story), I became a femme fatale…(translation: deadly female) and dater extraordinaire. In my estimation, there was safety in numbers.

No, I’m not blonde nor has the skin on my face been vertically challenged.

But I did think those three little words would a) Catch your attention, b) Give you an inkling of the type of post and c) Set the tone for the rest of the post.
