Good morning. I am so behind and I am sorry for it. I feel like a chicken with his head cut off literally. These days seem to be flying. My weekend was a very interesting one. On Friday, I was invited to attend a graduation dinner for my homegirl, Dukia aka Kia. Kia just received her Master's in Social Work and her boyfriend decided that he wanted to surprise her with a dinner and what a surprise it was. Since I don't drive (not yet anyway), I hitched a ride with my friend Nicole aka Cousin Coley and we were on our way. We drove to Baltimore in what seemed to be the fastest I have ever been driven. We got there in enough time to see Kia make her grand entrance. The surprise factor however, was seeing the ladies I went to college with. Though it has only been 2 years that I have been out of school, I have gained an understanding that people do change, whether for better or for worse. I for one know I have changed my outlook on life and with the change came the change of "friends". I'm okay with that and apparently I am taking this space not to spread ill will or hate. I am content with the matter in which my "friendships" have evolved. People come in your life for a reason. They are there to help teach you lessons. I have gained insight that maybe I wasn't my happiest with these friendships or even the fact that I wasn't a great friend, so the fact that we can be in the same room without drama stirring was a blessing. Overall, I think that an awkward situation became laxed because our goals were similar- to all focus on Kia. Hopefully, I do not sound negative with my regard to friendship but I do wish these ladies the best.

Ok, off of my soapbox. The place we went was called RA Sushi and I have to say that the sushi was divine. I am noticing that I am becoming a sushi head. I think I eat sushi once throughout the weekday and twice on the weekends. I had a great time drinking my Tsanami drink and taking Kamikaze shots. After RA we walked along Fell's Point acting reckless (Mainly me)LOL. Overall, Friday was interesting.
Saturday, during the morning was a bummer. I had job training from 9am to 4pm. I hated every minute of it to be honest. The only thing I liked was the food (#fatgirl). However, my luck changed quickly after the training. My guy friend and I took a walk around a pond where we took pictures and enjoyed each other's company. After our walk, we went to Houlihan's. I had never been there prior to our encounter. There food was very good. We had Spicy Thai BBQ Shrimp, Jamabalaya (him), and Chicken and Mushroom penne pasta. The food was great.

Sunday, the guy and I went to Eastern Market. Oh how I love the open flea market there. We manuevered the flea market and of course I had to buy a few items. I bought a sterling silver ring with a jade embedded stone and red accent piece. If I had cash, I think I would have been bankrupt. My debit card however, allowed these purchases. After the jewelry purchases, we went to a vendor that I buy natural soaps. I bought Carly some soap and we chose our own scents that complimented our tastes. We walked along Eastern Market and then on to the inside market. We crossed the street to venture into the Capitol Bookstore. This bookstore is one of my favorites. When the guy first stepped into the bookstore, he stated he had an "instant orgasm". He has a love for books and knowledge. He was like a kid in a candy store as he looked a Greek mythology, poetry, humor, and cook books. We left the bookstore with a very heavy bookbag full of knowledge and walked to eat at Tortilla Cafe, one of my favorite Mexican/El Salvadorian resturants. Of course after the itis, we walked to the Capitol, took pictures and walked The Mall. We sat and conversed until it was time for my 6pm date with my friend Kyla. Kyla, her son and I had a mini date to Red Lobster (I had a salad) and Ben & Jerry's. Overall, my weekend was very action packed.
