So, here's the rundown (can I come up with 12? sheesh...)
- Sale at LB, so I polished off the Churchill Grounds outfit for Friday, and also managed to sweat out my press during work. 1/2 fro, 1/2 press is not a hot look for me.
- Another class bites the dust. The Marketing class, of the gold stars & bonus points for attendance is outta here - dropped it like it's hot. As an aside, I'm completely bored in my classes...
- Played hooky, and pressed my hair, and cleaned house to prep for...
- DS's social event of the week - his classmate's Spongebob b-day party. Only the classmate's mom couldn't afford Spongebob. And a tree tipped over & knocked out her power. Not that that stopped the kids from having fun - we danced to our own songs, and butterfly candlelight until the DS passed out.
- Interesting convo w/ another mom at the party. Her, seeing the ride, the hair, the gear, thinking I have always had some $$$. Me, feeling her being a transplant like me, struggling like I did, kicking herself over spilt milk. We agreed, all it takes is a plan...we exchanged numbers, and hopes for the future. I hope we get a chance to hang out again.
- Breakfast with Eon:: had to add emphasis, because this is my FAM, and we rarely have a chance to hang these days. Breakfast @ my spot, overindulging in enuff hash browns, and cheese eggs to put down a wild boar. Meanwhile, the convo, touching on politricks, whether the revolution is being televised, how the fate of the AA community rests on our (as indvs) ability to build, educational & economic empowerment, the merits of marriage, the damage that the free-love 60's and swinging 70's have done to the AA community, the lack of recovery from those eras due to Reagonomics and the crack epidemic, where/how do we go from here, relationships, sex, *dead*. I wish y'all were there - we prolly have forgotten more already, than we typically discuss with our friends the rest of the month. I love that dude SO MUCH.
- Debated creating a meetup - Coffee & Conversation - inviting other like-minded folks to join in our debates. E says the problem ain't finding folks - it's finding like-minded folks. I'm still toying with the idea.
- Half-a$$ house-hunting. I wasn't gonna post about this, but any advice from Atliens might be helpful. I drove around, came across Cascade Parc (slated to begin construction Jan, 2005). I'll post about this later, but if anyone has leads on intown living for reasonable $$$ - HOLLA!!!
- Toyed with the idea of online dating again - and, er NO. It ain't for me. I've been dealing with too many knuckle-heads I've met online for too long - no more settling for BS.
- LOL - checked myself about the relationship, dating thing. Was chatting with BSG, doling out some self-righteous sage advice, and thought - duh, you need to practice what u preach. It's time for a new position. So long blackfolksgetdeygrooveon.com, hello Starbuck's, Whiskey Peach, Soul Fusion, Live Poet's events, the High, et al. Real Life Social Life, NE1?
- Talked to JC - totally unsatisfying as usual. He's been MIA for about 3 weeks now. Oh well. I'm expecting some negativity behind this comment...lol.
- New episode of The Wire, and it's the pre-Set-Shyt-Off, episode. Note:: spoiler follows. Stringer & Avon go at it, Stringer did D'Angelo (had him done rather). MAN. I missed the last 2 minutes reeling from the news. I can't take it. I LOVE this show.
BTW, if y'all saw what happened after Stringer finally let Avon get up - Holla at Ya Girl, please!
