I guess I should give some background for those who don't know. To make a long story short, I gave up my flashy dashy, messy, Monday-Sunday partying , independent life in DC for a less jazzy, partying Friday & Saturday, spending more time with the family life in Dallas. I like to call it rehab lol. Rehab for my outlandish spending habits and my alcohol consumption (more like rehab for my outlandish spending habits on the alcohol that I consume lol).
Anywho...Dallas actually isn't all that bad at all. I've been to a couple poppin parties, even met a few cuties. The only thing that's really pissing me off right now is the fact that I have no job! Huh? Yea, you heard right! I'm unemployed as hell!!! I have been for about a month now and it really hit me like a ton of bricks today.
I never realized how much I took the little things I could afford for granted.
Example #1: I painted my own toes the other day. I know that sounds boogie, but I haven't painted my own toes since '94. I just can't do it as well as my Asian Mamis out there. Plus, its not just about the paint, it's so much more of an experience than that and I miss it.
Example #2: Why do I look like Sasquatch's baby sister!?!?! My eyebrows look like crap right now! And to throw fuel on the flame, the last time I went to go get my eyebrows done I let my cousin convince me to go to an Asian Mami that wasnt my usual Asian Mami and she f'd my shit up! SMH...
Example #3: I can't go on dates. The Frens and I talk about this all the time and I will elaborate how I feel about this topic in a post later on in the future. But, the moral of the story is...I will not go on a date (especially a first or second date) unless I know for a fact I have at least enough money to pay for myself. I have had past experiences that have scared me for life. Because of this, I have been denying lots of dates over the past few weeks. I just refuse to be set up for the okkie-doke and I don't know how these Dallas men get down!
Example #4: I can't just get up and go like I want to! I have so many trips that I want to take over the next few months including Howard Homecoming (if I miss it..OMG ill be pissed). The fact that I might not be able to go on these trips is pissing me off! I told my girl today, if it takes me selling watermelon and pineapple on the side of the road I will make it homecoming!
There's other things that I miss but for now these are the 4 that are sucking the most. So...you'll probably be hearing more from me until I get a job cause I have all the free time in the world right now.
