juicifer

i got a juicer yesterday. i'm very excited about it. the only thing is that mike's mom lied to me. i asked her if it was easy to clean and she said yes. she said all you had to do was put the parts in the dishwasher. liar. i read the instruction booklet after i bought it and it said to only put it in the dishwasher "occasionally" on the top rack. basically it's saying to avoid putting it in the dish washer. oh well.
my mom came to visit this past weekend. we went to atlanta. it was great. we returned to savannah yesterday. i cooked dinner for her, mike, and i. grouper, black beans and rice, plantains, and tomato salad. i also made brownies with caramel for desert which we ate while we watched i am legend. i was not looking forward to the movie, especially after the first 15 minutes or so. will smith just isn't a good actor. you can tell that he takes himself seriously now too. he thinks he's good, and he's not. i ended up kind of liking it though, so whatever.

yes mam

i can not contain my excitement for our trip to nicaragua! i'm trying not to think about it too much just so i can stay focused and finish this semester, which will be ending next week. yes!
today is going to be a nice relaxing saturday. brunch with mindy, then school work. that doesn't sound so relaxing, but it is because i can do things at my leisure. i'm tired of knowing exactly where i'm going ot be every moment of the day until i go to sleep. it's going to be weird in the fall when i'm working 1 job instead of 3 and not going to school at night. i'm sure i'll just adjust and complain about that too.

i like how when the kids at school do something bad i say 'no sir or mam'. the toddler class teachers say 'no thank you'. i thought that was kind of weird.

there are consequences

this is what i wrote crazy in response to a letter she wrote me. it reminded me of what a child does when they get caught doing something wrong. of course they cry from the guilt, and then they appologize profusely after they realize what they have lost. i did that in middle school, but since now i'm 27, and so is she, it gave me more reason to not want to continue with her in my life. i'm too grown for this shit you heard?!

when i responded to you that i had nothing to say to you either, i meant it. i don't mean that in a bitchy way, i just have nothing else to say about the issue. what's done is done.
as you probably know by now, i'm not working in the classroom with you. i made that decision on tuesday when you said that you wanted to work that way for the next two months. i on the other hand did not, so i removed myself from the situation. i will still be working at the school and it is my hope that our interactions will be civil. i know that i am capable of that since that is what i wanted and tried for from the beginning.
i know it took alot for you to write that letter and apologize, so i wanted to thank you for that. i accept your apology, although i do not wish to continue our friendship. you don't seem to understand boundaries and how to respect them and that is something that is very important to me in a friend. i have had many experiences in life to know that if it happened once it will happen again in one way or the other.
i wish you the best of luck and i want you to know that i don't harbor any bad feelings towards you.
like i said, what's done is done, and sometimes there is just no turning back.
