Great news! JetBlue lost one of my two bags. That means I currently have no other shoes than the ones I wore on my flight. I also have no toiletries or socks. The clippers I shave with are lost. My hair care products are gone bye bye. And I guess I'll be without cell phone access too because my chargers were in my lost bag. Oh joy!! How great it is to be back in Merlin.
My lost luggage came on the heels on our late arrival. We left Cali just over an hour late because of an unexplained gate change which threw off the loading of luggage on to the aircraft.
So why did Spiritual and I go into one of the local CVS drug stores in Merlin and there's a woman who broke out into praise and worship at the pharmacy counter? thrice? We were on the floor dying. By the way, ms praise & worship couldn't sing to save her life.
Something tells me this trip is gonna be full of unforgettable moments. Stay tuned!!!!
Speaking of moments. Its funny how memories you've spent days, months and years trying to suppress can all come rushing back to the forefront of your mind in an instant. I really thought I had forgetten. But as I rode along the highway on the passenger side every famaliar site reminded me of that moment in time when my trust in relationships was destroyed. I'll never be the same because of that moment.
How do you forget what doesn't want to be forgetten?

Quiet
being the procrastinator that I am I have waited until the last minute to prepare for my MD/DC/VA trip. I'll be scrambling around all day prepping. I hope to catch up on blog reading later today.
There were 3 or 4 personal fires that broke out yesterday. All but one fire has been put out. Phew! I was majorly stressing yesterday. I was just so irritated with the crap that was happening.
My stress level drove me to seek out a comfort food to help me make it through the hard times :-). People you ain't ready. I found the best new snack. Its a sponge cake I bought at the Red Ribbon Bake Shop.
Ok, I'm off to find flaming hot fritos for Friend. I promised her I'd bring a few goodies from the west that she can't find out her way.

I Was Sposed To
do an audio blog this weekend. Y'all know how I 'be' slacking on the audio. I'm just too lazy sometimes to pull out the microphone. It was a brief encounter I wanted to share so I'll just type it out.
So last week I'm heading into Albertson's Market when a homeless guy stops me asking for change. The homeless guy is white; 37-42; grungy looking; chubby; curly, dirty blond hair; a gummy smile with little, yellow teeth; and he is sitting indian style next to his greasy dog.
HG: Eh, bro can you spare some change? (he calls out to me)
I stop in the doorway. I turn to look at him. I pat my pockets for change then I pull out my wallet to retrieve a dollar. I walk over to where he's seated.
Me: here you go.
He takes the dollar bill from me
HG: thanks.
He smiles really big displaying more gums than teeth
Me: No problem
I turn to walk into the market
HG: Football season starts in a few weeks right?
I turn to look at him again
Me: Uhh...yea. Actually it does
HG: Who you got?
Me: You know, I haven't really decided yet.
I turn away from him again to enter the store. HG calls out to me
HG: NIGGA please!!!!!!
I stop in my tracks immediately and turn to look at him with one of the scrutinizing "no you didn't" stares. But HG is still smiling that gummy smile of his. I think for a second to say something about his apparent lack of manners then I think to myself "that's the least of his worries," so I shake my head holding back a small smile and walk in to the market.
