Wander Bread – I once described her as doing all things motherly even if I don’t want her to. She possesses an uncanny ability to know me which might explain her unparalleled talent of working my last nerve. I love her to pieces, though, and wouldn’t trade her for any other model labelled mom.
Marine OG – The man known first as my dad. He is the blueprint or the prism by which I view all men. And despite his missteps most gents have failed trying to stand tall in his boots. In spite of my good sense I reverberate my dad in so many of my movements sometimes I scare myself. I am my Daddy’s Daughter.
Lil Sis Thee Stallion – Also known as my little sister. On the bish barometer she sits at a solid 7.5 out of 10 with a heart of pure gold. No one should play with me about my sister, because there will be hell fire. Adulthood looks good on her and there is a small piece of me that feels especially responsible for how well she turned out, although I do not, repeat do not take any accountability for her bish barometer rating.
The Grumpy Gardner– Also known as my little brother. As fiercely as I fight about my sister I will do the same for my brother. Despite his pseudo name this guy possess an unparalleled ability to make me laugh from the gut more than any person I know, intentional or otherwise. With that said he earned his name fully and wholly because a scowl is his RBF.
The Bestie – Not to date us or anything but I’ve known this chick since freshmen year in high school (1995) when I thought I wouldn’t like her. Several years later I couldn’t get rid of her if I tried, nor would I want to. If bodies needed to be buried she’s my first call. Luckily life never forced that phone call.
Nursie Poo – I acquired Nursie Poo after The Bestie went away to college. In tow she arrived home with a whole Nurse. Due in some part to a car accident and in larger part because Nursie Poo is all around good people. You will never meet a heart purer. Of that I have learned over the years and I say that with a thug tear because chile…I could keep going but I won’t.
Nursing Chocolate – Just as the moniker suggests my Guy Bestie is chocolate and a nurse. I find all of those things delicious. I bet money there is no job you can name that he hasn’t held from Soldier to Ice Cream Scooper (that summer was wild) and he probably has more stamps on his passport than anyone I know. He is the vacation planner and should have been my baby daddy extraordinaire. I heart him like the same age brother I never had.
Modeling Mom – Sometimes two times is a charm. When I met Modeling Mom she wasn’t my first choice to fill any friend openings. We swam in different ponds and at best you could call us chicks who knew each other. But as they say a reason, season, or a lifetime and here we are two weddings (mine dissolving ), a baby, and 3000 miles later one of the best friends I never knew I needed.
My Past or The Anti Husband – I will use these two names interchangeably referring to my soon to be ex husband. I won’t go into any real detail here because well the stories that I share with you on these e-streets will more than give you insight into the man child I married, respectfully.
