Weekend Exhaustion

Hey yall, I just got back from a long exhausting weekend. Yep, me and the gang travelled to Baltimore, Maryland to perform at a church and then to Columbia, SC to do a book signing at Waldenbooks. We also did a little press which in my opinion did not create as much buzz as I had hoped for. But hey, I was on TV. Can't argue with that? But sugars, I tell yall the truth...I am still recovering from this weekend so I'll write again after I have rested. Until then...

WOW Wednesday!

It' WOW Wednesdays! Today, I want to report on some interesting topics that you can only say "WOW!" about.

OK, in Britney Spears news...if she'd married a man a little uglier then she wouldn't be having these post-divorce woes! But now she's free to join my church! I don't think Britney life is getting any worse, I just think that too many are focused on it and it is getting magnified. She just needs a tanning bed and a mocha latte and she'll be OK.

OJ Simpson is really an alien. Who else would steal his own stuff instead of calling cops? This man amazes me all the time. Just when you think it couldn't get any worse he goes out and says, I'm an old school idiot and I really want to go to jail.

Ugly is just plain ugly!

I've been getting a lot of flack from people saying "it's mean to call someone ugly" or "God created everything and everything is beautiful." They act as if the word "ugly" should be stricken from the English language. OK, would you prefer I say "feo" that's ugly in Spanish or do you want me to say "unattractive" that's a synonym for ugly. No matter how I say it, it is still plain ugly. I am not calling any specific person out! I am making a general statement. It's a little humor. And it's not offensive unless you attach the statement to someone. So, all you people that think I'm being offensive, well, so be it. I'm offensive. Call me what you want! But that's your opinion. And if you want to get biblical on me, then let's look at a verse from the Bible (NIV):

Judges 15:2"I was so sure you thoroughly hated her," he said, "that I gave her to your friend. Isn't her younger sister more attractive? Take her instead." (Here a man is calling a woman less attractive or he's saying that the older sister is uglier than the younger sister--no matter how you slice it, ugly, less attractive, not as pretty--it's still ugly in my dictionary)

Ugly is not a disease, although for some it may be, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder thus someone or something is only ugly if you think it. So either you know someone you think is ugly or you are ugly. Whatever it is, laugh a little and stop getting your panties in a bunch!

That's all I have to say on the matter. Be sure to buy my book Mama Peavy says, "Women, It's OK to Marry an Ugly Man." It lists five reasons why marrying ugly is actually marrying up!

15-minutes of Fame

We have all heard of having 15-minutes fo fame. And honestly, who doesn't want to be famous is only for 15-minutes. Well, sugars, I tell yall the truth, I am about to get mine. To promote my new book, "Mama Peavy says..." I am doing a 12-weekend tour along the east coast/gulf coast. I have lined up over 18 book signings. I plan to promote the book signings by doing radio interviews, newspaper interviews, TV interview on news stations, and short performances at private venues. This is an exciting time for me. Finally, the world can hear my message and just maybe, I can find a husband.

Anyhow, I'll be traveling to Columbia, SC and Baltimore, MD next weekend. I have a guest spot on one of the local news channels and I have several radio interviews setup throughout the week.

15-minutes...shoot...I'm gonna milk it for all it's worth and try to get 45-minutes of fame. I want to pose a question. If you could become famous, what would it be for?

Mama Peavy Goes to New York

Ok, not really New York but darn close. Yeah folks, I'll be in Baltimore in two weeks at Concord Baptist Church. I hear they are having an anniversary and I was asked to show my face in the place that night. I've only passed through Baltimore during my many trips to New York so this will be a new experience for me. I wonder how those people up there act. I know they better watch out because I'm coming to save souls and get some new recruits for my church. There are too many women leaving my church, not because they want to, but because I put them out. They secretly dating and getting married and not telling me. So, I had to put them out. I want them to get married but they want to continue to be members of my church. Nope, can't happen, won't happen, not gonna happen. I got to cater to those less fortunate souls...the ones that can't find a man if one walked up to them and kissed them dead in the mouth. If you are having trouble finding a man, then join my church. We meet online once or twice a month. We've had our doors closed for a while due to renovaton. But our next service will be September 28, 2007. Be sure to be there!

Mama Peavy Goes to Birmingham

I just got back from Birmingham, Alabama. I performed at Walking on Water Christian Church during their Single's Hallelujah Happy Hour. To say the least, I was happy alright. There was no liquor but I made do. The audience was great and the women really needed my word. So, I gave it to them, stiff, straight, with no ice. I really love going to events where people are not afraid to laugh. Today, people are so uppity and want you to censor everything. But I ain't censoring nothing. If you don't like what I have to say, then cover your ears. Don't you agree?!
