So my friend and I tried to find stuff to do in Augusta last night…

Note that it’s Master’s Week so it’s Spring Break and all the rich people have flocked into town.

  1. We started our night at Applebees for those half off appetizers.  At the end of our meal we discovered you only get the appetizer half off depending on the number of drinks you order.  We didn’t know so like fat a$$es we order two appetizers each thinking we were about to get out of there paying a little under $10.  $15.64 later I learned my lesson.
  2. The people at the bar were like in their 30’s I’m pretty sure, but they were having the LOUDEST conversation about sex.  Like one man was with his girlfriend/wife and said, “Her jaw gonna be hurting by the end of the night.”  I was in awe that this negro had just blurted that out.  Then another woman was like, “Ya’ll already got my throat hurting.”  I’m guessing in regards to laughing.  Her man comes in and says, “I ain’t even hit the back of her throat yet.”  For some reason I concluded that some of them were school teachers just excited that they didn’t have work for a week.
  3. Pretty sure our waitress was trying to hit on Briana.
  4. We tried to get into this bar called 544 Bar.  We had to get our purses checked and then get a metal detector ran across our bodies.  I was wondering what type of bar this was because I’ve NEVER dealt with that in Athens.  We get and then discover we have to PAY.  Not no damn $3 or $5 coverage charge.  Freakin’ $10!!!  We had to leave immediately.  So embarrassed.  Of course the old bouncer and his friend tried hitting on us saying if we had stayed they could have taken us our for breakfast in the morning.  Nah nigga it ain’t that type of party.
  5. We have concluded that we need to find where all of the white folks party at.  Point blank period. 

Great Easter Sunday.  First time going to church in a month!  Great service and spent the day with family.  Plus one of my friends stopped by before flying back to The Motor City.

#2: Singleness (though it feels like a curse sometimes) is a blessing. Use it to learn…admit who you really are.  Invest more in your family and friends…they will be the ones to share in your greatest (and worst) moments in life.  Fill your time in service to God and others, but don’t use busyness to keep your mind occupied. Buy yourself flowers.  Do something…alone.  Learn that it’s okay to be by yourself…to feel loneliness.  Know that you’re never alone. Take in the love God gives you through your relationship with Him and with others around you. Love Him first. Know that “He makes everything beautiful in its time.” Don’t rush and don’t think your life has yet to be lived. Don’t stop believing. Don’t settle. Persevere. Don’t wait until you’ve found what you’ve been looking for to encourage other girls on the importance of making the best of their lives at this stage. Be the example now. And remember that faith doesn’t work in hindsight. [Ecclesiastes 3:11, Song of Songs 2:7, Romans 8:24]

My guy friend said I need to stop dressing like a nun in order to attract guys…

…I don’t even think I dress THAT conservatively.  I’m just not about to have all my boobs and booty butt cheeks out.

“I believe every person in our life, every relationship, everything is there for a reason and when you really pay attention there are certain little clues we get. It’s so crystal clear what’s the next step, it’s just this puzzle and everything is in it’s right place and as we grow we take the next step, the dots get connected and we eventually become what we are supposed to be.”
