it’s Christmas time in the city…..
Even though I live in the suburbs…but anywho….now that I have gotten off of my rant about black men….it’s time for the good stuff…. I have been home for almost a week. I have been to church, to the nursing home, to an elementary school xmas concert and tomorrow I’m probably going out with my girls. A perfect balance eh? Yup! Well my break is going well so far. I have not done a lot of thinking this past week. That’s my goal for xmas break. As the person that is responsible for everyone and everything, sometimes I need me time. THIS IS MY TIME! So, don’t ask me for anything, if I don’t call you, no worries, I’ll catch you in January. Aside from my routine badgering of Courtney and Dana, thats the best you will get for now. I got my grades and I did well in all of my classes considering the circumstances (near death experiences, fo real). I still got my 3.3. It will do, I suppose. I am really anxious about teaching next semester. I am so pro-black, I am scared that the only thing my kids will learn is African American history. I’m an English teacher. I have been working on unit plans and I only seem to get excited about teaching when I am teaching African American literature. Is that bad? Hope not. I have so many goals for 08 and my new motto is “More selfish in the 08.” I discovered this after I was asked to ship a laptop from state to state and an estranged acquantince requested my services after not merely blinking an eye in everyday passing. I realized any time someone wants something, they call me. Why!? Because as hard as my outside shell may be, I’m dependable, generous, and thoughtful when it counts, sometimes too much! So from now on I’ll keep my favors limited. I love when Mary’s song comes on the radio. I be in my mini-van singing and shouting…JUST FINE, FINE, FINE, FINE, FINE, FINE, ew! (pardon the ebonics, if you don’t understand) I am just fine. Through all my inner battles I’m just fine. I still need work but I could be worst. Well, I suppose I done with my rambling. until next time…I’m out. P.S. My fav bro ever is coming home tomorrow from Jaimaica and were definitely gonna get it poppin. <3 Taiisha
I bought a new phone….I know….I know….I just bought one…..but this one is so cuter…
Hahaha….speaking of the person who wanted you to ship his stuff…hes late on a payment that HE agreed to. Now if I be an ass and call him momma yall are going to tell me that I am bad and that hes poor or what not; NOT my Issue! lol
Anyway. You should be selfish when it comes to your happiness and you living your life. I don’t mean be an ass to everyone but my dear, you are much to nice, especially when it comes to your friends. You take a lot and you don’t get the credit that you deserve. For example, the whole “u know who” taking your car to drive to his off campus job when his ass did not have a car? That shit would not fly with other people. You are too nice. I’m glad that you are realizing it now. You need to think about Taii first because at the end of the day, its you who matters the most. My words of wisdom for the hour.
