Banana Ice Cream
Love & Hip Hop 1.26.15 Episode
Well, well, well this show sure does know how to take you through so many emotions. Between Chrissy’s weird & forced looking cries and Amina being a wife and the other woman to the same man at the same damn time is pretty crazy. There were several things that happened in this latest episode.
Peter Gunz came clean to Amina about his business trip. Whaaat? The tin man has a heart?! I’ve never called a guy this before, but this dude is a douche bag. During his wife’s 40th week of pregnancy, he takes his most recent baby mama and their two kids on a vacation to Barbados. Amina is upset and says she is done, but we all know how that ends for them. Now I know baby mama, Tara wants to keep a facade about her “family unit” for the kids, but come on now. That is foul. Someone please shake her and remind her that he was never her husband and she needs to tell her kids that their daddy loves them, but he now has a wife and will not be with them everyday anymore. She’s getting on my nerves harboring all this resentment. She needs to release that stress and count her blessings that she has been delivered her from that 13 year curse. Oh no,Tara only sees one thing. Peter was stolen. Idiot. She wants his wife, Amina to continuously feel bad about breaking up her “family.” I appreciate Amina calling her out about being a side chick herself previously. But, of course for Tara her situation was different. I wouldn’t feel bad anymore either Amina. Plus, you didn’t really win anything. He was willing to leave you and place you as the baby mama of his 9th child if Tara would let him in just like that. Ugh. I do not like him.
Chrissy stopped crying. Now, she’s mad as hell and not going to take it anymore! Lol. So, Chrissy previously told her married boyfriend who recently moved in with her that she wanted a baby and she hasn’t taken her birth control for 3 weeks. He spazzed out rather calmly on her about that. I mean, really? What in the hell did she expect? Then she did this weird crying thing she does. It’s scary and a must-see. Lol. So, the aftermath ended with her man Chink talking to Rich Dollaz and coming to the conclusion that he wants to make things right with his lady. Chrissy comes to the studio with a chips on her shoulders (I know y’all thought those were shoulder pads. Nope!) and he doesn’t really get to speak on his feelings about her because she is over talking him. She is very stoned-faced and wants to know what he meant by saying “if” he divorces his wife instead of “when” during their previous argument. The answer really didn’t matter. Just know they broke up and she told him to have a nice life. Lol.
Yandy and Mendecees have a blended family issue. Mendecees and his baby mama, Samantha are at odds about the time each should spend with Jr. She wants him to become a weekend daddy and set some things up in the courts. He blames her for not being around during Jr.’s younger years and doesn’t feel she is entitled to have an opinion about his custody. Yandy does what she does best and tries to help resolve the issue by having a meeting to set up a meeting. Mendecees and Samantha meet up and go in on one another for a minute and she tells him about setting up things with the court and how they would be on her side. He tells her no they wouldn’t because if they ask Jr., he’ll tell them who has been there. Oooohhh. Then it seems to shift when he reminds her that because of the case he currently has and the time he’s facing, he wants to spend as much time with him as he can. This Samantha is looking a little sheisty at the moment to me, but I hope they work all that out.
Delusional and self-involved Erica makes an ass out of herself. Again. So, both of Erica’s exes are now working together in business. Cyn wants to sing a song about her brother’s suicide and give the proceeds to charity and in exchange Rich asked her to be the face of his new liquor. Somehow, Erica believes that their business deals are all about her. She absolutely refuses to believe otherwise. She shows up to Rich’s liquor debut party just to be an ass. Gets drunk, says some dumb stuff, proceeds to leave and tries to walk out through the mirror. Really? So, classy. Cyn reaches out to her afterwards to say let’s just move on, but Erica is stuck on the fact Cyn is talking to her friends and she needs to stop. This isn’t high school. Sheesh. Anyway, Erica is obviously that person who wants to pretend she isn’t hurt and has no feelings then goes home, looks in the mirror and cries. All of that can be resolved if you just be genuine.
Final thought: Viel Glück! Or Good Luck on ending things with Peter, Amina. I hope you get on the plane with your sister and go back to Germany with your baby.

Finally Someone Stops The Madness
Omgoodness! I’m so glad someone somewhere has the cajones (balls in Spanish) to stop the madness when parents are trying to name their babies ridiculous things. Yes, some parents over in France wanted to name their baby Nutella. WHY!? Why would you have your child publicly ridiculed and chased around the playground taunted until they get so mad they start slappin people for messing with them or sink into depression.
Listen parents, all names are not good names for children, maybe animals. I named my beta fish Quinjarius and Zytarius as a joke but as a Human Resource professional, I promise you, employers discriminate based on names. I’ve seen it first hand. That’s the first thing they see when someone applies, their name. I’ve literally been witness to a recruiting session and as colorful names come through on resumes the recruiters would act the way the name sounds with the stereotypes we all know too well. They would make jokes about the kind and color of hair, if the person would be late all the time because of all their kids, speak with heavy accents etc.
Now, my people are high offenders of the name-a-geddon. Hell my grandma’s name is hilarious because my great grandma was so in love she spliced her name and his name together for a crazy concoction of a name no one knows how to pronounce outside the family.
My thing is children get teased over their names. I was teased endlessly about my real name and for a long time, I wanted to change it. When you name your baby Apple, Abcde, Millions, PrincessAsia, Vas-e-line, Whizdom, Puff, Wednesday, Virgin or Adrenaline, it’s gonna take a lot to get people to say it correct and it will be amusement to everyone including recruiters to see who shows up with a name like that.
No one says you can’t or shouldn’t be creative just think about the child’s future and how life can be affected by the choice you make.
Simply Adorable!
If you don’t saw Awwwwww after seeing this precious little being, something is wrong.

The 1st Book I Fell In Love With
On my 21st birthday I was lying on my parent’s couch bored out of my mind. I wasn’t a clubber and my friends were back on campus. There were no drunken festivities happening for me that night. Earlier that day, my sister-in-law brought a garbage bag full of books for me to take back to my friend at school. I was not a reader. 🙂 That sounds very funny to me now because that night changed my life forever.
While rummaging through the bag full of books on a whim, I pulled out Christina Dodd’s Just the Way You Are.
This book was so amazing to me. I was already a fan of suspense and my mind was constantly thinking about sex and this book combined both of these genres. Here is the blurb:
Mystery and misery scar their young lives. Three sisters and their foster brother are torn apart by tragedy and scattered across the country to grow up apart…
Hope Prescott lives in Boston, far from the warm, southern home she recalls. She works with one goal in mind—finding her long-lost siblings. Yet her job at the answering service and her own loving nature creates a family of friends, people she knows only by their voices. She especially likes Griswald, gruff old butler for wealthy Zack Givens.
Meeting Griswald is a shock; he is neither gruff nor old, but a powerful, handsome man. In fact, he is Zack Givens, mysterious, cold, heartless—and charmed by the artless young woman who brings him chicken soup, treats him like a friend…and falls in love with the humble man she imagines him to be. When she discovers Zack’s secret and faces his betrayal, she leaves without a backward glance. Can Zack solve the mystery that haunts Hope’s past to prove their futures lie together?
Christina Dodd is a fantastic writer. She makes you fall in love with the characters as if they were real people. Hope reminded me so much of myself as well because she was pretty much a loner and didn’t let a lot of people in. But when people are in need she is selfless. She didn’t allow men to get close to her because she was focused on one agenda. Fine and wealthy ass Zack Givens changed all of that. This is a must-read. I first read this book over 10 years ago, but every now and then I pull it back out. The story has a 50 Shades of Grey feel to it, but it is highly developed and well-written.
Currently, Christina Dodd has written 50 books across the genres. Over time authors change the covers of their work, but below is the original cover.
I’ve read this entire series and they’re all amazing. Because of that one encounter I found my passion for reading and writing. As far as Romance or Romance Suspense genres go, my other favorite authors are Iris Johansen, Lori Foster, Kasey Moone, Allison Kent, Noire, and J.D. Robb to name a few. Like every author you have hits and misses, but all of these guys are great!
So, Cocoa Drops share your favorite authors and books with us so we can enjoy the good read as much as you have!
