Ok. I’m often very much self centered because..after all..this is MY blog but in reality, I’m very much caught up in the lives of my friends, sometimes living out their lives vicariously and enjoying the bliss.
Let me give a few year end updates…
Tamara
Tamara’s still working at the job that she started when she first moved to Atlanta in 2006. it’s easy for her, accounting, but she wants more and she’s looking and making moves to get it. Her kids are doing great and her son is already talking. He looks just like his Daddy to me. I’m in a bit of a dilemma concerning her relationship status cuz her man is adorable, beautiful and treats her like I always knew she deserved yet…
I like her ex better. See! I told you I am selfish. But these days he’s going HARD trying to get at her, spend time with her and be her friend again. I think he’s gonna try to be back with her but she says she is not going for it. I hope she sticks it out. Yet..at the same time, her ex is so charming and so much fun. When I think about her new man, I’m like- blah blah. I don’t want to hang around him, he seems boring. But her ex, he was a party waiting to happen.
~sigh~ I’m really invested in this like it’s my choice! LOL! I’m a trip.
Anna
I have no idea what’s going on with Anna. I haven’t spoken to her in a couple of weeks. Our relationship is changing but the love is still there. What little I do know..I can’t blog about. So…I’ll leave it at that.
Kim
Kim changed her mind about having a last minute wedding ceremony. She still plans to get married before this year is out and will be this dude’s wife by next week. I need to call her cuz she emailed me asking me for help planning her blogging 101 class. I was so annoyed when she told me that she was teaching it because she doesn’t know a THING about blogging or social media. I feel like she’s perpetrating on something that is very important to me. ~annoyed~
But she’s feeling so blessed and so happy to be with her man. “Everything keeps getting better and better,” she told me. “I’m so happy!” I remember when were both single and we would talk on the phone and fantasize about what it would be like to be in serious, healthy relationships. Now she’s in one and it seems fantastic to me. “I am my true self when I’m with him. I love that.”
Ruby
At this very moment, Ruby is on her way to pick up her boyfriend from the airport. He’s staying for a week before heading back to Denver to move them into the new townhouse that they will be renting when she gets there in January. Ruby found a job and she’s already gone through 4 different interviews for the same position. I’m like, “This job better come with a company car or something cuz they wildin out!” I know she’s gonna get it.
I can’t believe that she is with someone else so quickly. Seriously, my girl was truly enjoying the single life. She definately has a way with men. She can get anything she wants and it’s all because as she says, “I don’t let them touch me.” But just a few months after breaking up with her last long term boyfriend she meets this dude and…they are kicking it hard. She met his parents. He was even willing to come move to Louisiana to be near her, but she decided to just move where he is so she can have a new adventure. She walked across the stage last week and received her Masters in Organizational Leadership. She’s a BOSS! Everyone I know has a masters degree, basically. Some even have their doctorates. It’s such a blessing to be in communication with so many educated Black people. We grindin and realizing our dreams everyday…that’s a beautiful thing.
My Sister Teenie
My sister finally got free from her ex and she’s still enjoying being the caretaker for that elderly lady. Everyday I have to listen to her say, “I love my job. This is so easy!” She’s really getting into her appearance, ordering wigs, researching products to make her hair more beautiful and trying to become the diva she is on the inside. Her man is a trip and they keep plugging away at their relationship. She’s like that though, men never want to let her go. She’s very happy right now and I am happy that she’s well taken care of.
That’s about it..those are the people that I speak to everyday….
