Belated Birthday Bag
My Aunt Pee-Wee gave me the cutest purse for my Birthday...I was just sitting in my office admiring its fun summer pattern. By the way, for those of you who recognize the purse brand...she is a MASTER shopper and I can guarantee you that she didn't pay more than 40 bucks for this designer bag. Hell she is cheaper than me...hee hee

Happy Juneteenth!!
What Is Juneteeth You Ask??
Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
From its Galveston, Texas origin in 1865, the observance of June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond.
Today Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day, a week, and in some areas a month marked with celebrations, guest speakers, picnics and family gatherings. It is a time for reflection and rejoicing. It is a time for assessment, self-improvement and for planning the future. Its growing popularity signifies a level of maturity and dignity in America long over due. In cities across the country, people of all races, nationalities and religions are joining hands to truthfully acknowledge a period in our history that shaped and continues to influence our society today. Sensitized to the conditions and experiences of others, only then can we make significant and lasting improvements in our society.

Making it Rain!!
Trevor had his kindergarten program today. The kids sang songs and crap like that...the usual for a bunch of 6 year old, but they all also got to hold the microphone and say their names and what they want to be when they get big. Now this could prove a difficult task for a kid who non-verbal...usually someone else would have to speak for a kid in Trevor's position, but by now all y'all know Trevor is a "Playground Pimp"..LOL
Generally speaking I am not one of those people who walk around thanking god for this and that. Frankly I would say that I am fairly jaded with humanity and the universe, but on this day I was THANKFUL...thankful for everything and everyone who has paved the way for my Trevor to have a voice, so when everyone stands up to says their name and what they want to be when they grow up, he can and will be right in the mix. Check him out....and look how he looks out at crowd when he is done, as if to say "I'm the shit, I love dinosaurs and y'all know my talking machine is the business..don't sleep on me bitches!!!"

Farmer Trevor
So I went on a field Trip with Trevor's class to the State Fair Farm, but it seems they forgot to tell the kids that this farm didn't have any animals...lol It was an agricultural farm and these kids had no idea what the heck that big word was but they had fun nonetheless. Here are a few pictures of Trevor learning about dairy, poultry, grain and such. More pictures below.
