wednesday

Today was a pretty interesting day. I slept a bit late because my mom had my car and I lounged around the house most of the day. I decided that I was going to cook dinner today, something I hadn't done in a while since I moved back home from my apartment. I cooked some tilapia with a chipotle garlic sauce and sauteed greenbeans in some chili pepper and garlic infused olive oil. While eating Nissan called and said my moms car was finally ready so I cut dinner short to take her to get her car. Since I was going to be out I decided to put on my workout clothes and go walking at Allen Pond. After I dropped her off I went into Target to get a new pedometer so I would know how far I was walking. After being in there so long I decided to walk around Greenbelt lake instead since it was on my way home and it was getting late. Now stupid me failed to think there is a difference between a lake and a pond. At Allen Pond I usually go around it like 3 or 4 times in a light workout day but for some reason I underestimated the size of the lake. I start walking around it a little after 7 and about halfway around it the sun was just about gone. Now half of the lake is forrest and of course I was in forrest when the sun set and all I could think was God please don't let a coyote jump out and kill me. Now this is just half of the lake. I still had another half to go and it was real close to darkness but I made it of course. When I finally get back around and check my pedometer it was only .78 of a mile which isn't bad but I guess by it being trail and gravel that added the tension in my legs. When I got back to the car I drank like half of the gallon of water I keep in my trunk. I was so exhausted.

When I got home I headed straight to the shower and I must say that was the best shower ever. I used some dead sea black mud soap and some dead sea salt scrub with eucalyptus essential oil that this man convinced me into buying when I went to Annapolis Mall. Anyway my mom was on the phone with my aunt (my dad's sister) and she was saying how she had a going away party on Sunday (because her and my uncle are moving to Florida) and figured we must have been out of town since we weren't there. On Sunday my mom and me spent the day loafing. We went to church, brunch and to a festival so we could have been there. Supposedly my hater of a cousins wife was supposed to invite the entire fam but neglected to tell me my mom and sister. The three people that don't deal with their drama, bullshyt and ghetto antics. But oh well I don't really deal with most of my dad's side anyway especially since i'm the spoiled "educated" one who is bougie (in actuality I have goals, have no time for b.s. and am trying to get MY life in order and not worry about other people's households). I will take my aunt and uncle out on my own and not worry about the haters.

But I digress when I got settled and checked email I had a job offer in my inbox. I applied for a position as a publicist for a book publisher. The job sounds interesting and cool but the pay is horrific. They are offering $15,000 less then other places I applied to so I'm going put that one on pause. I also had anotheremail from a buddy of mine from grad school that stumbled across my other blog I read hers and it was good stuff I love to tap into other peoples minds especially people I know.

I'm sitting here now watching kill bill volume 1 and this thing is crazy. I'm goingto go to bed after this goes off I have to get up early because I'm going to try out my first Dominican Salon in the DC area...should be interesting
