love life update

i swear i had posted this stuff already, and i can't find it. i guess it was what i was working on the nite me and my momma were beefin' at each other.

anyway, long story to short, me and MJ are an official "couple". he was the one who asked for it, so i just agreed (like a caveman conquering his woman - LOL!!)

all of the sudden, he became the sweetest, nicest boyfriend i've had in a long time.

when we go to the mall, not only does he hold my hand, he even does the little thumb massage stuff by stroking the back of my hand.

his family is really nice to me. they helped put the training wheels on my daughter's bike 'cause i couldn't do that shit :)~

we go on official dates.

we even spent an entire weekend together chilling and watching movies when the carolinas had that big ice storm (my daughter was at my mother's).

it's so unreal how much he has changed that i keep thinking that any minute he's gonna say "SIKE, i was just joking" and walk away. others say that maybe he's realized what a good woman i am.

we even exchanged christmas presents. AND he picked out nice stuff!! i was very shocked. i expected a cheesy gift set from Wal-Mart. but nooooo, he bought me gifts from Vickie's AND and outfit Lady Foot Locker. the shoes are coming this weekend (he said he didn't know what shoe size i wore)

he EVEN bought my daughter a christmas present...a pokemon game for her gameboy advance, AND it was the one she wanted!!

and you know what? the sex has improved 100%. maybe we are comfortable with each other now.

so i guess we'll just have to see where it goes.....

gone for a minute....

i know i know...i've been gone for a minute. i know y'all have a right to be mad. but shit happens, and it happened to me. it's such a long story, which requires a few confessions...so i'll tell it in increments.

confession #1 - i live at home with my parents. i know i should have moved out long ago. but it's so comfortable at home with the free DSL, cable, food, etc. anyway, you get my drift. i like to live lavishly and spend money, so i moved in when i left to go to med school and since i've been back i never really looked for a place for my daughter and myself.

confession #2 - my mother and i do NOT get along. 'nuff said...not much more i can say on that. we just don't.

confession #3 - (or #101 on my list) i have an extremely short temper with little patience.

put all three confessions together, and it's a very volatile mix once me and my mother get to arguing. most times when we get into it, i just bite my tongue because i'm much too cheap and lazy to get my own place.

but this time, things got serious.

she told me to (and i quote) "get the FUCK outta my house"

and she said it in front of my daugher!!

i'm so sorry, but i don't curse in front of her and i'll be damned if anyone else does.

so we packed our shit and left.

we had been staying at my cousin's house since then (conveniently the cousin who lives a few doors up from MJ....more about that later - smile!!)

so we finally worked things out, and i'm back home - for now. until i can find an apartment. it's time for us to move out and move on.

but at least it's nice to see i was missed :)~
