I "did my time in Atlanta"-10 ye...Mama,<br /> I "did my time in Atlanta"-10 years of it. I describe it like a jail sentence. The ATL people are SO busy concerning themselves with the Joneses and trying to keep up with what those pesky, I mean their friends the Joneses are doing to renovate their homes, buy new toys, etc, that they all live paycheck to paycheck like the rest of us. (Yes, they have friends they don't like just so they can say they know them and socialize with them) I had inside access because I was a housekeeper for those 10 years and I saw my share of the vomit inducing activity of these people. I always had 20 or so clients at a time (I was not a one household live-in) One lady whom I chose not to work for actually scoffed at my fee (which would have equaled to $15/hr.) She said "Who do you think you are to make more than $10/hr.?! You're not the president of IBM! No ma'am. The president of IBM makes more than I would ever hope to BUT I am a US citizen and I speak English. I can be trusted with a key to your home. I will show up when I am scheduled and give 110% for my fee and I bring my own vacuum & supplies. If I break something I will replace it or give you the value with my hard earned money but... no thank-ya I don't need your $$. The people of ATL are fakers and do their darn best to appear that they have more $$ than they do. <br />I now live in Southeast Florida in a house bigger & nicer than most that I cleaned. How's that for justice?! I am a real-life Cinderella and I am living happily ever after. I clean my own house unlike the ladies who were just too darn busy playing tennis & going to Bible study to clean theirs. I find that my neighbors ARE wealthy and it is refreshing to not see people trying to copy/outdo the others. They have the confidence the ATL people lack. They aren't afraid of being caught without as much $$ as they appear to have and they are confident just being themselves. MANY of them look like regular folks sitting at the bar next to you. Most of them LOOK like they have LESS $$ than they do!! I have ended up sitting next to former CEO's and founders/family of BIG companies as well as "celebrities" at a particular restaurant bar and they just look "average".<br /> As for the T-Boz house--ALL the $1 million dollar homes in the ATL suburbs look just like it. VERY cookie cutter. VERY boring...yawn. There has been a stucco issue there with builders using a cheap crappy version, so I guess hard-coat must be the "good stuff". Did I mention the TRAFFIC in ATL???? Nightmare of nightmares! Have mercy!<br />I stumbled onto your blog today after searching Michael & Judy Ovitz online. I am reading the nanny tell-all book featuring them. Wonder to self... do I have enough stories to write a tell-all housekeeper book? Maybe enough for a blog. Who knows?! Your blog has entertained me tremendously!

There are a good many things & places around here with sugar as part of the name. There's a story that says a train lost some freight around here & some of it was sugar.
