Hey, Y’all!
Before I get into today’s blog post, I do want to
announce that I am two days away from my graduation from Rust College. The
excitement is definitely in the air, and it seems that every second that passes
by, I am that much closer to receiving my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary
Education. And I have it on great authority that my entire family has safely
arrived from L.A. and are chillin’ in Memphis right now. I also have been
informed that Pastor and Mrs. Clark’s flight should be landing sometime this
afternoon or this evening. I gotta give my pastor and first lady credit—they
said that they would be in attendance at my graduation, and doggone it if they
didn’t keep their word. I gotta admit, though, that there’s one person who is
missing in the equation, and that’s Mother Harriette Fields… but then again,
she’s got the best seat in the house up there in Glory!
Oh, and I’ve already picked up my cap and gown this
morning, which garnered yet another signature on my card. Now, check this out:
Tomorrow is the actual graduation rehearsal, and y’all already know that my
peeps and I are gonna practice strutting up the stage—heck, we may even cut a
jig or two… hahahaha! All kidding aside, though, I do have a touch of a problem
with the dress apparel: According to protocol, the ladies are to wear black or
navy shoes, no jewelry, and little makeup. Now, I don’t wear a lot of makeup
anyway, nor do I wear any jewelry other than my earrings. However, I was
planning on wearing my lavender shoes to match the dress that I’m gonna wear on
Sunday. Now, I don’t mind following protocol, but I hope that Rust is ready to
hear me grumble about how my shoes don’t match my dress—I’m just sayin’!
In other news, this has been a rather trying week for the
entertainment world. It is often said that certain terms of events happen in
threes—well, we lost three entertainers within the course of five days. It
began this past Sunday when Doris Roberts (who played Marie Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond) passed away at
age 90, then Joanie Laurer (best known by wrestling fans as Chyna) passed away
two days ago at age 46, and then Prince (the legend who sang Purple Rain)
passed away just yesterday morning at age 57. On behalf of my family, we send
our condolences to the family, friends, and fans of these three greats.
Well, I guess that’s gonna do for today. If anything else
comes up, I’ll be sure to let y’all know; otherwise, I’ll holla at y’all
tomorrow. Either way, y’all will be hearing from me soon, but until then, y’all
take care and be good.
Smooches,
Natasha
