So it has been exactly 22 (great number) since I have poured my thoughts and emotions on the page/screen...whatever. So what has happened since then?
October 12, 2007
My line sisters came in town, because our 11 is leaving the country *tear*, she and her husband are going to be gone for a long LONG time. so we all decided to meet up at the this sports/karaoke bar. Good times. I arrived at 7 something, I was a little on the early side so I just sat alone, and waited around. I called one of my line sisters to see her eta, need less to say they were waiting on some and had not even begun to get dress...i was a little pissed off. My brother Nico (different mom, different dad, at times different time space continuum..lol) called, I was saved!! He was on his way. A few minutes later he walked in. Its funny, in the last few months we haven't spoken that often and lets not even talk about the last time I saw him, but I as usual things fell into place and it was as if we were never apart, I missed my brother from another mother. He was with his girlfriend, she's sweet, I like her. So I hung out with them for a few so I wouldn't look like too much of a loser sitting in a bar by myself. a few HOURS passed and one of the guest arrive so I bid them goodbye and went to greet the late comers. So in all I was waiting for about 2 to 3 hours for everyone to show, i was not at all please, but then again it was something that I have come to expect, things don' t change. Everyone was accounted for and we just hung. I did things that I didn't feel like doing, but I did it and I shut up. The night ended...i was slightly amused by the turn of events, but I had a good time.
The next day we were suppose to go to breakfast, that fell through and no one called. So I called to see what was suppose to be going on. I took my sister to a birthday party, and then I went to dinner with some of my Lses. I wasn't feeling so well, I think I caught the flu or I was experiencing some flu like symptoms. Whatever it was I felt like crap and all i wanted to do was drug myself and go to sleep and that is precisely what I did.

I'm still sick *insert sneeze cough runny nose, and headache here* I feel like crap. I came to work, because clearly I need to money, but my boss took one look at me and asked me why I was there. LOL...I was wondering the same thing. Money makes you do some silly things. So I took leave, but instead of being smart and going home to get some rest, I went shopping, with some imaginary money. So this was my mind set, I need to get some clothes for my Trip to DC. I found a few things, not much, but I guess I would have to make do. From there I went home and laid down, but I had a meeting to go to so my rest period was short lived. I got up and continued to my meeting.
Its raining, no STORMING and i'm cold, dang on sickness. My phone rings, the meeting has been cancelled, go figure just my luck. So what do I do instead of going straight home and resting? Thats right ladies and gents, I go to the store and shop again with imaginary money.
Please keep in mind that although mentally prepared for my trip, I have yet to prepare in the physical...lol..yea still hadn't packed and I had a flight at 6:45am, need less to say I didn't sleep that evening.
October 16th-22nd, 2007
Tuesday Oct. 16th
I was suppose to be at work. But I still didn't feel all that great. So I packed. I wasn't done with my hair, so I permed it and added my hair enhancements. I scrambled to finish packing...I was up ALL NIGHT...shame..lol
Wednesday Oct. 17th
My dad and I headed off to the airport. I don't like riding in the car alone anyway with my dad for long periods of time. He goes into father mode and starts asking me questions that I don't feel like answering, and it doesn't help that he has this amazing knack for making me feel like sh** because he feels I am not doing anything with my life....it was the longest trip to the airport ever. But I got there and the fun was about to begin. I checked in, boarded the plane, and was immediately disheartened. My dayum seat belt did not fit...AWESOME...so I tried ever so delicately and discretely hide the fact that it did not fit my midsection or thigh. The stewardess stopped dead in hear tracks...I just knew I was finished. "Umm Ma'am I need you to buckle your seatbelt.." So how exactly do you tell her that it does not fit without immediately being embarrasseds? Oh yea thats right....you don't. So I tell her that it doesn't fit and she proceeds to yell that she will get me a seat belt extension...sigh...Thanks. Mo'Nique was right...skinny b*****es are evil...lol
I landed and Camonia came to pick me up....she had an itinerary for just about every second of everyday that I was going to be in DC...i was just happy to be away from Texas for a little bit.
Lets see what happened during the course of the weekend, I met new people, shed a few inhibitions, drove in the DC/Maryland Area, got lost, clubed, Was on the yard at Howard U. Fraternized with sorors, Went to a stepshow, Partied at LOVE in VIP fashion, fell off a Segway, Took a tour of the capital, and really and truly came to know that true friendship is hard to find. Camonia is like super friend...I don't know if I could ever re-pay her for all that she has done for me in the past few years....although I one day hope too.
Anyway...
Needless to say the entire weekend I had an absolute BLAST...i would write about everything that went on, but carpel tunnel has set in....maybe i'll come back and update, but all you need to know is that DC folks really know how to party!
