Thursday, Dec. 04, 2003 - 7:42 p.m. i can't wait till tomorrow. i may have to eat chinese for lunch. when my old roommate, john g, came by monday night, we ate there for dinner. talk about some good food! i'm making fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and black eyed peas for dinner tonight, but i'm thinking about chinese and if i had any money, i'd be down there right now grubbing. speaking of john, we had the best time. he made me realize i miss our old friend emily...mostly b/c she used to be the person you could sit down and talk about anything with. there was never lull in conversation...she was oh so witty. yes, i do miss those days and the person she used to be, but everyone changes and some people just aren't meant to be friends forever...she's one of those people i wasn't meant to be frineds with. but back to john, we talked about politics, sex, religion, war...you name it, we talked about it. and not once was there an arguement. we may not agree with what the other says or feels, but we realize it's an opinion and we're allowed to have different points of view. it made me feel so alive! today i had a presentation at work...a lunch & learn. it wasn't anything big, but i've never had to get in front of people and talk about stuff...well, i have, but not at work. i mean..i have, but it's different when you HAVE to do something than when you do it voluntarily, especially if you volunteer spur of the moment. regardless, i did well and it's over. kamilah is coming tomorrow. i'm so excited about it. i haven't seen her in while. and it's her birthday, too. i'm taking half a day to spend a little more time w/ her. we're going to eat chinese..she doesn't know it, but we are. i'm speaking it now! i cannot believe it's so cold here. i mean, damn, i'm in north carolina and i woke up to snow! on the way home, it was 28 degrees and there was ice on the trees. what kind of crap is that when it's better up north than it is here? yeah, we all know it's about that time for me. time to complain about the weather. i do this every year. i hate the cold, but more than that, i hate snow and ice. SNOW!!! vomit. cold, ice, snow, freezing rain, sleet....it all is bad to me. i still have to go to work and it only make it harder. then after it all melts, everything looks so ugly. i hate it. well, enough complaining. i've got some work to do in my kitchen. i think i'll make those oatmeal butterscotch cookies. they seem pretty easy to make...besides, it's one of the few recipes in my book that doesn't have chocolate in it...and we all know i hate chocolate. until later! oh yeah...NOW everyone can focus on christmas. let the festivities begin! |
