Happy iOS New Year!

Well we are knee deep into the Capricorn Season
I  celebrated my birthday last week (12/25 - lol) turning a bright 32!

Boy do I feel my age LOL here's a list of things that have changed since saying good-by to my 20s
-TIRED TIRED: I recently changed jobs; shortened commute time, switched to less stressful job and I'm still tired. I attribute it halfway to age and to my habits. I tell people all the time being vegan is still not a pass, I still need to eat a better diet that consists of more raw foods and again less 'vegan junk'. I've decided to go gluten free and for me that's pretty easy change as I don't eat alot breads rice or pasta for me this means buckwheat (instead of oatmeal) and no breads (eating out) and continue to stick to veggie wraps.

-CONCENTRATION:  Lawwd now I kinda feel I was in denial of this but music + work = caplady cannot concentrate lol. Honestly I've grown alot anyway DC has killed gogo music, rap/r&B sucks.. so I listen to alot of beneficial podcasts, CNBC/Bloomberg streaming through out my day and honestly if I need background

-PATIENCE:  Man I'm pondering if technology has ruined my brain

note: actual post date 3/14/2014  - SMH 3 months later clearly not complete but trying to re-active my blog life

title will make sense in a moment (see next post)

.. i am the #1 Mary J Blige Fan

Thanks to beloved twitter I saw a link to

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see an intimate Mary J Blige performance live from the legendary Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City as part of the “Live on Letterman” web series. If selected, you and friend will be Mary’s guests as part of the live studio audience. If you live in the Tri-State Area and are over the age of 18, send us an email at mjbliveonletterman@gmail.com with your name, age and home zip code. Winners will be selected and notified by Saturday, 2/13 and must be available during the afternoon/early evening of Tuesday, February 16th.

So yes Md is so not the TRI-state area.. I emailed my girl in Brooklyn like girl please enter.
Well last Friday night I got a phone call of screaming and crying- WE WON! Sunday I had bought tickets on the BOLTBUS you can't beat it mann.. $38 round trip. I left Monday afternoon (yes was like eff- work lmao).. came back yesterday afternoon.

Was it worth it- HELL YES!!!

Now ended up we really treated to a special concert only aired on-line:

Because the Tuesday night Letterman- MJB sung one sung and that was a different audience.

Maryland has been blizzard city aka baby Antarctica but Tuesday in NYC it snowed/sleet/iced all day and me and my girl trekked through the city to pick up the tickets and make the show.
Let me tell you MJB has a HARDCORE following, trust my friends thing I am crazy like groupie/stalker crazy..lmao umm im lightweight compared to the folks I had convos with while we were all waiting in line. Folks that seen MJB over 10 times - all races/sexes represented it was great to be with my 'own kind'

Goodbye 2009

Hello..yes we are at end the year- midway through the glamorous season of capricorn (yes I turned 28 uhh a week ago lol)

I have been MIA just not in the best place..oddly enough i'm aggressively (on some days) job hunting.. just tired of being overworked.. and I've been brooding at my life progress.. and no this post isn't going to turn into a #whatineedtochangefor2010 post (sorry for the twitter lingo lol).

I just want my (few) blog fans to know that I appreciate the support but the sporadic posting will continue until I get some order in my life.

& yall know cappys need order and structure so i will right this ship soon :)

Nay to the Redskins and Wizards= DC sports slum..

Lets see what else going in my life .. oh yeah read this good book (also bought 2 copies as gifts)
Like me and the bff obsess over her style and i swoon even more know that i know Mrs. O is tall (5'10+) like myself i notice she keeps to the min heels (she <3 Choos lol) .. which is cool I hate towering over everyone. The book does a great job of giving background history on some of Michelle outfit choices. Personally I will continue to acknowledge her as the diva but I need to mimic her moves in terms of education and business saavy as well. Went to the Kennedy Center few weeks back free ticket with coworker went to see Handel Messiah. I'm pretty cultured but I had no idea what to expect for this show lol was a lil nervous. Def cool a mix of opera, choir & orchestra lol
*cam phone pic *

Attended the 31st Logan Circle House Tour- pics
I have a new love for fireplaces and of course my folks living in NW are living large- a mix of traditional row homes & modern condos in the photos- enjoy!

Loggin off gonna make my way to church tonight.. bring my 2010 in prayfully with the Lord.
Yall be safe & easy

here and there...

sorry I haven't been in the bloggin mood lately.. yes twitter has stolen my heart but i also have alot on my mind.. i hope to end the year on a good note.. not that my life is bad.. I'm very blessed to be employed and with a home but i guess as I head towards 28 (23 days left lol) i've hit the panic button as far as the progress I'm making...

anyway good news DEC always a great month and my girl Mary J Blige has a new release schedule 22 DEC



Black Friday was fun...scored a Michal Kors bag $50 from $328 LOL 40% on top off the fact bag was marked down to 89 due to broken inside zipper (who cares)

Ideeli is a invite only to a site that sells sample sale items for the low low if you want any invite to this shopping network or Rue La La or Gilt Groupe just drop your email addy in the comments def worth it if you are a true shop-a-holic.


Before I go- I was astonished to learn this morning that Earth Kitt has passed away on Christmas :( RIP to one the most famous CapLady's 1/17/1927-12/25/2008

quickie post

so paparatzi found me creeping through the world wide web and now im back...
so the press asks: "Caplady where have you been? why the hiatus? do you feel like you have let your readers down being absent?"



lets see #1 I've been working forreal like i have a real adult job now lol joint be crucial at times but I'm learning alot so that's always a plus.

oh lets me update the readers on my hair progress.. hairdresser says im officially locked but i don't know because its still fuzzy and some of the twists are seperated so i have alot of problems :( my hair is like an a site under constructions when i just need the project to be done!


now yall know i'm #1 Mary J. Blige fan to the end and I gotta scie my girl for getting on this month's Essence cover but that video for Stay Down slummed!!!! First of all I"m trying to understand what does the artic ice have to do with the song. Like this song is kinda postive so like when i see this artic ice im like sad and I see Mary wearing these atrocious firs I'm like wow PETA is gonna be on her but I put the blame on Hype Williams. You can tell he shot this vid, trying to recreate the magic of the Everything vid with the swirly background crap but lets note the differences: One its tropic island kinda happy makes you feel cheery. Two its a real envoirnment not stimulated Antarctica like in Stay down, you see Mary standing on the sea shore and know that she's really on an island. Anyway she really should made a video for hurt again maybe that will be her next joint hopefully it will be more creative.

First Blog Spot Post

Before I get going want to say Happy B-day (RIP) to my cappy-sis Aaliyah

We Love you Baby-Girl!!

Yes I"m on a blog roll:

Topics today:

The creation of a D.C Superstar: LA has Kobe, Clevand Lebron, Miami D.Wade- and DC has been bone dry (we not even gonna go there w/ the whole Mike Jordan expirement)..but and lets get this straight EARLY- I'm not a hop-on wiz fan. I became one back in 02-03 when 2 terps (Juan Dix, Steve Blake) were drafted.. so now that ya'll know I've seen the franchise go from Zero to Zero (LOL) haha meaning shoot if you ain't know I've talked about him before but its just amazing to see a Down-to-earth brother single handly ressurect a franchaise.. and if you missed Monday's MLK Game.. you missed the dagger play (second time this has happend)..Arenas.. takes the clock down.. goes out beyond the 3pt line then _ all he wrote but the DAGGER is.. he knows the shot is good so he walks off before the 'ish goes in (BOLD)!!!

All i can say is Feb 22nd babye.. i'll be at my 2nd wiz game of the season section 102 indeed!!

and while we on the subject of NBA: Buyouts- Basically the franchise can cut/terminate a players contract by the owner and playing agreeing to a sum. Afterwords the player is free to sign with another team. This just happend to Chris Webber sixer terminated his contract for like 20 million something saving them a lil dough meanwhile.. Chris just signed w/ the Pistons looking for that ring. Hellz no If I owned an NBA franchise and I got beef w/ a player or whatever.. im not gonna pay him off and let him sign with another team. He will sit on the bench and suffer or If I pay one them ballaz off better belive its gonna be for less than half the total value of the contract. Its not right how these bammas making millions.. acting like babies then make even more - No GOOD!

Tired.. and working on a transition to blogspot.. I love xanga but the closed comments is - No GOOD!

So I'll be back tomorrow w/ more ramblings:

Gotta talk about Iphone hype
