Aching Jaws

I actually got some work done today.

I got in about 8:15 and commenced to doing my thang, yawning the whole time because my job is rather easy. I’d like to do more creative work but for now getting a firm handle on this administrative stuff is a good idea.

I worked all day and FINALLY the time came for me to interview Kanye’s Mama about her book. I wasn’t nervous at all. I was soooo excited!

When I called her she said that she was shopping for office furniture and would go out to her car so we can talk in private. The interview went great! I couldn’t be more proud of my signature interviewing style. Part professional, part homegirl, all GENUINELY inquisitive.

Ya’ll won’t believe this…well, yes ya’ll will— I told her, “I love your son!” I poured out my heart so she would understand that I’m not really a Kanye West fan but I’m more of a fan of his spirit and his fearlessness and the way he lives his life.

At the end I told her, “Make sure you tell Kanye I said Hi.”

She laughed and said, “I sure will.”

She knows my name! YAY!

I’ll post the link to the audio as soon as it goes on the website.

When I got home each of my friends called to see how my interview went and I told them all that I’m in love with Kanye’s Mama. She was soo nice and easy to talk to. Just like a Mama should be.

I even spoke to Mimi, who informed me that her divorce was finally FINAL.

My little sister is seeking an anullment of her marriage since her husband left her.

Man…these were the last two weddings that I went to. Both of them assured me that GOD told them to get married.

~sigh~

I don’t know…

Donovan said that there should be at least two other reasons to get married besides being “in love”. Now I see what he is saying.

I used to tell Tamara that I thought marriage should be viewed as a business decision. You weigh the pros and cons. You predict the brightest outcome and you move forward with your plan intact, focused on accomplishing your goals.

“I don’t need all of that lovey dovey stuff,” I told her. “That can come later. What I want is a man who sees how his union and mine could make a BIG difference in this world, ultimately making us lots of money so we can bless lots of people. The steady pursuit of his vision combined with mine will bring a certain kind of “love” once we both admire each other’s work ethic and brilliance. We don’t need to take years to decide. All we need is a firm word of integrity and the tenacity to see it through. I’d get married quickly if I felt the man had the same heart I did. I don’t need a long courtship. I want someone who is ready to get started creating the vision.”

“Mmm, hmmm,” Tamara said. “I can see that for you Tee. You’re business minded.”

“And we’re definitely getting a pre-nup. I see nothing wrong with that,” I said confidently.

Man…I don’t know what’s going on with my body.

Every night I have these pains in my jaw and my head hurts. I think it’s my tooth. When I get back from my weekend away, I’m going to find an urgent care and have it pulled. I saw signs today for peridontal specialists. I don’t know what that is but I hope they are dentists. My next fantasy is to get all of my overdue dental work done so that my breath will be better and then I can get my teeth capped or whatever so that I can be more confident when I give speeches and host things.

One step at a time toward my destiny.

Please pray for my Baby Daddy. It seems that he still hasn’t grown past trying to degrade me. It doesn’t affect me as much because…his opinion doesn’t matter anymore but…I wish we could be friends, or at least I wish he would be the kind of friend that I would be to him.

Oww…Let me go take some more tylenol for this aching jaw.
