Scooper bowl
Each year, the Jimmy Fund hosts the largest all-you-can-eat-ice cream festival in the nation at City Hall Plaza in Boston. It is attended by thousands of ice cream lovers every year and raises millions of dollars for a great cause. The last time I went was probably 8 years ago so I decided to take my sisters with me for old times sake...and I was craving ice cream! I never ate so much ice cream in my whole entire life. I ate 15 cups of ice cream and combining that with both of my sisters came up to 41 cups. We are clearly nuts! But I had a blast and it felt so nice to just hang out with my sisters for a whole day, eating ice cream in the sun. You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!

some reasons for this magical week
Right when I thought my life had become uneventful, this week I:
1. went to Dj's, a local sportsbar, to watch the playoffs vs. Lakers with good company (on another note, Let's go Celtics!!!)
2. got to see close friends and extended family at my sister's graduation bbq. We don't get to see each other as much as we would like, but they are my rock. Family comes first - ALWAYS.
3. got down n' dirty at Ocean Club for the birthday couple. Happy birth-week to Jessica & Steve, love yall!
4. attended my mama's dance competition. She's been taking ballroom classes for ages now and finally made her FAB debut! So proud of her and she did ahhhh-mazing.
What's not to love?

Phenomenal woman...by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say, It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say, It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing of my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say, It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say, It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say, It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing of my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman phenomenally.

Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say, It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
The palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman phenomenally.
'Cause I'm a woman phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
That's me.

RiRi on the cover of Elle
On her new beau: “I have a boyfriend. I’m so happy. I feel really comfortable, and it’s so easy. I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day, that is just my peace. It keeps me sane, really, talking to him and talking to my family.”
On turning her dream into reality: “If I were in Barbados still, I would be dreaming about this. I asked for it, and I love it, so why am I complaining? My first day on tour, I remember saying ‘I’m so tired—this is so much.’ Then I thought, What the fuck? You asked for this—you prayed to God to tour like Madonna.”
On the past year: “A year ago, I was very confused. Because he was my best friend. All of a sudden, one night changed our whole lives—not only our friendship, but our lives. I wanted to wake up one day and just not have that pain anymore. I wanted to be with him again or get over him—it was either-or. I just didn’t want to feel the pain, the confusion.”
