monday...
Today was a pretty ho hum day. Had work to do all day. Then I finally got a chance to breathe this evening. I have a lot of stuff on my mind and need clarity on a lot of things. Slowly but surely it's happening so I'm grateful for that. I am seeing a lot of people for who they really are and realizing that if they weren't in my life I'd still be just as happy or perhaps happier. I know that's kind of harsh but as I grow I realize that some people aren't as neccesary as you think. Often times they are just present to show you the kind of serpentine characters to watch out for. I wonder if people's momma's know how shady and grimy they are lol.
Decided to make tonight a hair night. Which is basically when I spend too much time devoted to tending to my crown doing everything from a scalp massage to deep conditioning and trimming, basically pampering my hair with really lush products. I usually don't let the phone or anything like that interrupt hair night but my friend C.B. called and asked could he stop by. I haven't seen him since I moved back down here so even though I wasn't in the mood to be bothered I obliged.
I've known C.B. for ten years and love him to death but there is no reason I should open my door at 9pm and he looks like a Roberto Cavalli ad and I have on sweats and a wife beater with conditioner on the fro lol. He comes in wired up telling my mom all the "woes" of being a single black Ph.D student (oh please lol). So we went downstairs to the den and he kept me company while I was taming the fro. Somehow I ended up retwisting his locs. The same thing used to happen in Syracuse, he'd just happen to be in the area and I'd end up doing his hair(who just happens to be in Syracuse when you live in Ithaca) . Ah well. Ladies if you want a conceited, but fine single black educated man he's yours for the taking (I won't even charge for the hook up lol).
Oh and I forgot to mention I got a job offer. Before we start the applause I doubt that I'm taking it. I applied for a position here and they offered it to me but in Santa Monica. Yep California. How the hell does that work. If the pay was a tad bit better I'd consider but for what they are offering I'd say it's a 98% chance I'm turning it down. Ah well.
I am looking forward to the rest of my week... going away dinner for my cousin Wednesday at Georgia Browns, Friday's plans are still up in the air, and then going to a singles event at my church Saturday afternoon (all are welcome to attend).
goooodnight
