A few things that I forgot

Last week when I went to my friend's second birthday party, I made it there before he left. Not that I got there on time. I got there like half an hour after the party was suppose to have finished.

It seems that he was waiting for someone else and I made it before them.

He didn't think it was me when he first saw me. It wasn't until I said that he had cut off his hair he realized that it was me. I got a hug for my near running to get there in time to catch him.

He more or less introduced me to the two ladies who were there. It seems like they were packing up. I was given some water, and offered some cake. I didn't like the cake, but I had about 3 cups of water.

Getting there was heck. Most of the route had no express service, and I left the house with only one hour left before the party was set to finish. I wore my wig since my hear wasn't really fit to be seen at a time like this. I wore my new wrap shirt and the jeans with the belt ofcourse.

When I go to upper Manhattan, West Harlem really, I go hit on like twice before I walked the 4 blocks to get where the party was suppose to be. Odd.

After the gov person that he was suppose to show up came and they talked shop for a bit, he and his new girlfriend walked me to the train station, and I got a parting gift of jug of water. About 2 gals worth. I held it all the way back to Franklin Ave. That was harsh.

For most of time I was with Aresh, he would just keep saying that he hadn't seen me in 10 years and he couldn't believe that I was there. But he was running off of 4 hours sleep for the last 2 days for some reason, so he couldn't stay and talk as much as he loved too. So call later, and set up a day to meet and hang out for an hour or so.

Oh, he is still the skinny thing I left behind, but he cut off his hair like I said before, and he got a mustache. I was told that he was now bald. I don't know if that is really the truth or what. What really threw me was that he ate meat now. Raw sweet potato eating Aresh now eats meat.

His girl friend was nice, and I think she is about 5-10 years younger than him. If she older than that, she doesn't look it.

I told Aresh that Hayden didn't make it because he wasn't really told that he was having a second party and that he was sorry he missed the first one. He was surprised that I was still talking to Hayden. Ya me too. I haven't. I just got a forwarded mail from Tanzie that she had with Hayden. She was trying to give me his e-mail address along with his phone number. It only partly worked.

-------

Today I went in search of a free clinic so I could get my shot on time. I will not go though my cycle unless I have too. Nika and Jhodie went with me. We left the house late, so we didn't get there in time. It seems that they close at 2:30 or so, and it looks like they are being renovated. A lot of places are getting renovated it seems. Well I'm calling them tomorrow before I go again to make sure and ask a few questions. I should have done that today, but I didn't really think it all through.

It turned out to be across the street from Jhodie's old high school.

We also went by the Brooklyn's Children's Museum. Once again out of luck. It's not opened on Mondays. We stopped off at the park next door, and Nika had fun there. Jhodie got an Italian Ice and I didn't like it. So she and Nika had it.

We took the train back and not long after we got back, mommy came home, and I went with Nika to wash the comforter that she threw up on last night. There was nothing wrong with her, she just threw up when drinking some water. So Nika carried the bag with it and a few things that my mom threw in to get washed. I added one pair of socks to the mix.

Nika did good. She carried the bag all the way up the street, and wouldn't let me take it from her. She had fun watching the stuff spin around, and around and around. The lady there showed me how to use the machine. She was nice.

On the way back Nika held on to the bag again. Two buildings down, I saw a computer that looked like it had been put out. I looked it over and decided to take it home to have a better look at it. Nika came over and picked up the bottle of Tide I had and trudged off with the bag strings over her forehead. She looked like a very cute determined thing. I took up the cpu and walked after her with it. She walked faster when I called her. She was laughing and ok.

As we walked in, mommy told Nika to drop everything and follow her. I was left to take everything inside. It turned out that she wanted Nika to meet a lady. It seems that she will be helping Nika with school some how.

Dinner was chicken with veggies and rice and peas. It was suppose to be fish with Mac & cheese, but mommy brought home some cooked chicken.

Well other than that, Jhodie went with Phillys to the gym when she got home. I think it's going to be their thing until I get a membership, then I'll get dragged along too. Not that I don't want to go, just maybe not with them. I'll see.

I gave Nika a bath, and she fell asleep. I feel asleep while working on the laptop, and mommy fell asleep while playing "7 Wonders". They were so late in getting back that I blew up the bed, changed Nika into her pj's and did a clean up on the laptop after downloading 5 pieces of software and made some changes to my blog site. They got in at midnight.

Well mommy is up now, and is getting ready for work. I'm going to bed in like 15 mins.

I'm suppose to go out with Jhodie and Nika again tomorrow. Don't know if I'll go, I want to test out the cpu I got. I'm kinda planing on sending it back to Little Ray since I think I messed something up with the one I left behind for him.

Well I'm out of here. Night, or morning as the case my be. It's now 1:16am.

Cleaned up blog and it's now 1:40am. Bye

Not so busy today.

Let's see.

I tried to sleep in a bit after my mom woke up for work at 1:40am. But the phone wouldn't stop ringing, and one was right next to my head and up really loud and then the pest control people showed up. I didn't care as much as I should. I just made space for Nika on the bed since she was still asleep. I gave the check that mommy left for them to Phillys and pulled the covers up. Jhodie fixed up a few things before they came, but she left. She would get sick from some smell that I didn't smell back at Dominos in St.Kitts. She wasn't sticking around to find out if this made her throw up too.

I think I woke up when Mommy got back from work. She had a short one this morning. Her next shift is at 4 or so in morning. She sad that she asked for this kind of shift. Then I think I just stayed in bed some more, then somewhere around  10 or so I got up and at one point decided to start cleaning out the cupboards. Jhodie and Phillys went to do some laundry, she told me to get Nika ready so that when she got back she would take her to the park to play.

She came back and then said that she was going to shopping and then take Nika to the park. Both of us were mad her, but she said that she won't have the same shot at discount things from this store for a while, and that she was still going to take Nika, but later. Great!

She then asked me to take a break from cleaning the cupboards and take Nika to the closer park until she got back and she will take her out again when she got back. The other option was for Nika to go to the store with her and Phillys and then be taken to the park later. Nika wasn't happy. She picked out her out fit for the park and was ready to go the park, and she isn't really suppose to be running around the store. She wasn't happy. We were the ones who suggested that Jhodie take her to the park for like 30 mins, then she go shopping, then they go back to the park for an hour before coming home. She didn't want to, but I was given the job of taking her to play until she got back.

We didn't go anywhere until mins to 3. We were there for an hour. Most of the time Nika ran around for a bit, saw all the slides and such then had me come and play with her. Granted I didn't want to, but to make this outing be worth anything, I played with her so she had fun. Then we left the park at 4pm and we thought that Jhodie was already back since she said that she was going to take her to the park at 3 and she wasn't back for that time since that is when we left. Well I did, It seems that Nika was told 4 pm. Either which way, she was late. When I took Nika out I had finished up two of the three cupboards.

Well it's midnight and I said that I would wash the dishes at this time, since I went back to sleep once again when Jhodie came home and took Nika out.

Nothing much happened after that. I had dinner which was salad and some fish. and I bagged trash and it was somewhere around that time I said I would do the dishes.

See ya.

My brother has a "to-be-wife" ...

And she came over to see us today.

She just got here.

Weird.

Besides the time he came down to St. Kitts to see us, I haven't seen him since he was what? 12 years old.

And now I have to deal with the fact that he is going to get married and all that. A new person to add to this part of the family. If G ever liked me enough after we really get to spend some time for me to bring him to see my mom, I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it.

In the words of "Back To The Future Mary McFly", "The is heavy".

Got to go before she comes back in here to be nice to me.

I did not put on extra stuff when I heard she was coming. If she wants to meet me, then she will meet me. I have something on, I just didn't get all dressed up for the visit.

Oh... before I bale, I did make it out to see the farmer's market this afternoon. I passed two book stalls and something else in a small park between the museum and my old high school. I think it's call McNair Park, but don't hold me to it.

I walked around, but since I showed up so late in the day, most of them showed that they were in the sun for a while and even the living flowers needed some watering. There was some organic bread and baked goods, beets, onions, berries, greens of all kinds and one winery. I have their card. Here it is.



They have a nice name and so does their wines. "Tickle Me Pink" I was told was good for cooking with. They were out of that one by the time I came by. They all sounded nice, shame I don't drink. Darn! I just thought of some thing. I could have gotten one for Aresh for his birthday. Darn! But it couldn't be helped. I didn't have $10 for a bottle anyway. I'll get one for him when I get a job. It will be a belated gift. A very belated gift.

I then decided to walk the other way home. That took me way the other way. I ended up over at Western Beef. Just for old time shake and maybe for a bottle of water I went inside. It was ok, I ended up with the little boxes of soy milk flavored with carrot. It's not bad. It's a Grace brand named Jus Soy. Right now they are having a sale. The large one and the three pack little boxes were .99cents each.

I then walked it all the way back up Franklyn until I got home. I even passed a park that I forgot was there. It looked like it had nice set of slides and stuff for Nika.

I got home about 5:30.

Oh, I came home to find some cards all over the place. It seems one of my aunts were here. My aunt Margaret. It seems that she is a paster now, and was spreading the news. She either owns or works for Meg Ministries.

Well you are so up to date that I could not blog for like.... 12 hours. *grin*

I'm off to get ready for the party. I'm thinking of wearing my new wrap shirt, and my wig since my hair hasn't been done since Monday.

See ya.

Found this in my mail


Back again.

I really had this to share with you and just forgot when I was rehashing my week.

Either way. I signed up for this new letter a while ago, and today they sent me this. I thought it might be nice to share.

This is mostly for computer geeks. I like the idea. I would like the idea even more if I could send text messages to cell phones with it. :)

Here you go. Have a nice read.

Hi ya

Lets see.

The next day Phillys took me shopping for clothes and I got about 5 pieces and the next day found out that the pants were stretch and they were falling off of me so I got a belt yesterday so I could get some decent use out of them.

We went to big girl's shop, I forget the name of the place, but she has card for the place. We stopped off somewhere else first, and Jhodie got a get things there, and later we realized that we forgot one of our bags there and we went back and got it like 2 hours later. Then we stopped to get something to eat at this place that had a  Dunkin' Donuts and a KFC and a Pizza Hut and a Nathans all in the same room.

We got in just in time. The rain poured down. We got something from KFC, and I took out a bagel and cream that I had gotten earlier, an we tried to wait it out, but it went on for a while, then we just has to leave. It was a good thing that there was scaffolding for the length of the building and it went right up to a subway. I still needed my umbrella. Phillys didn't want to carry an umbrella, and would rather get wet than get one.

Oh, Jhodie also got a pair of shoes and Nika saw Chucky E. Cheese in the same building. Sometime this month we are suppose to go back. Phillys got a coupon for the place somehow.

The next day we were on our own, and went off the the library. We tried to go though the botanical garden, but we didn't have any money to get in, but it's free on Tuesday, so we said that we will go back then. Then we passed the museum. That is new. They had "dancing water" out front. We stood there and watched it for a while. Then there was a deck over a glass room in the front of the building, then as we walked around to the other side, there was a green part with seats and part had trees. We went inside to see about maybe getting in. They also had a fee, but they said that they would take anything if you couldn't meed the recommended fee. We said that we would have to do that another day too. We were able to check my bank account and the $110 or so that I had there turned into $46. I'm so broke.

We moved on and stopped off at the park after the other entrance to the botanical garden, which also had a major face lift. Nika ran around for a bit, then we moved on to the library. We went in the children's entrance, and Nika got some books and started looking through them right off. We then got new cards, and set up or online accounts. I don't really think I'm going to use it, but who knows, in 5 months I may really need it.

We then sat down had something to eat and looked though a few things. We then walked around an ended up in the fiction room. Then at mins to two, we heard something over the PA system about story time for kinds at two. So I asked Nika and Jhodie about it. It turns out that I seemed to have been the only one to have heard it. Jhodie was in the bathroom and Nika was just not paying any kind attention at all.

I ended up taking her over there, and then she wanted me to stay with here when I was planning to drop her off and go look though things with Jhodie. I was there for about 40 mins and I then left when she seemed like she wouldn't need me and went back to Jhodie so she could stop watching out stuff and go look at some books. I was there looking though one of the new things when Nika found me. She showed me her cut out butter fly that I left her making. She was very happy. She said that she wanted to come back.

We waited for awhile, but Jhodie took her time coming back, so I told Nika to go back to the children side and look for a book to take home. 2 mins later Jhodie showed up, then Nika showed back up like a min later.

We all sat there looking at our papers or books and eating some peanuts, then after a while we packed up and check out our books and headed over to Blockbuster and Video Edge to check out what they had to rent and see about the their Anime Collection. Blockbuster was better then Video Edge, but done in a very wrong way. Any anime that they had was mixed in with the Action section. Video Edge barely had any at all, and it was still the old stuff that was there when we first found the place 14 years before.

At this point I started to look for belt since walking over here I almost lost my pants due to it's expanding waist line. Ofcourse I couldn't find one that would fit me, but I tried anyway. We then got a subway home.

That night we went shopping with mommy. We had to meet Phillys at Target, then we were going to go to Pathmark. We were late meeting Phillys at Target, but not much fuss was caused. She even showed me little flyer about a floating pool that was being opened up on the river. I don't know when we will get to that. At least she likes play with Nika.

At Target we got two things. A lot of cereal and a dust pan and bush. They were also joining in on an argument about the price of some water. I don't see what the fuss was about. There were two sets of bottled water one sale. One was $4.95 and one was $4.50 or so. It was a difference of less then a $1. I didn't even get it until near the end. It wasn't the price for one of the bottles in a case, but for the whole case of 25 bottles. Nika get a lollipop with a fan attached. We then went across a bridge and then went down to Pathmark. It turned out that we had to go out and come back in again because the entrance that we were going to use had been closed.

Once in we went the fresh fruits and veggies. Mommy picked up a big bag of bing cherries. Jhodie got some white grapes. I don't know why. In St.Kitts, they never tasted sweet. I haven't tried any, maybe these are sweet. We then got into a verbal mess over making salad. Phillys doesn't eat at home much, so mommy had started to stop really make anything because it wasn't eaten, and said if she paid for all this for the salad, we would have to eat it. Ofcouse. Why else would be buy it. Now, there was another thing when it came to picking what to make the salad out of. ...(that went on for a bit but we got it sorted after 20 mins.)

They spray the veggies down with water. I say this for two reasons. One, they had an timed system that warned you that it was going to be sprayed, and while I was at Rams, they wouldn't me touch the water when I wanted to clean off.

We got parted a few times, and Nika ran herself out running around. I tried to get some non-dairy ice cream. I didn't find any and Jhodie got a sherbet and picked up a small soy milk drink for me. She seemed to be happier. She got down when she couldn't find the the dressing that she wanted. We all looked for the one she wanted for about 5 or so mins, and we didn't find it. She said that it was ok, but something made her down. We came out with a few more things, then got a taxi to take us home.

Mommy and I cleaned out the fridge that night so we could get some things into the fridge. The freezer we couldn't do much with. For the next 12 or so hours, we helped mommy off and on with her making of some baked goods to sell at church after sunset.

Ya, I have talk about that. I was raised as a SDA, Seventh-day-Adventist. It's like 2 levels lower then Jew. One, you choose to be SDA, and two they are trying to be vegans. There is a bit more to it. We don't do the laws of Moses, and we don't keep or milks and meats apart and a the dress code is different. But we do the Sabbath thing and the sunset is when the day starts and we almost the same "things not to eat" list.

I should be in church right now, but I don't have the cloths for it, and I just got decent shoes yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday. It was the day for some more shopping. Mostly for Nika and Jhodie. I got a belt, one pair of simple shoes and a half an hour nap. Ya, Jhodie was running around getting stuff and Nika and I napped out at 7:45pm. The store closed at 8pm, but we were there until 8:30pm. Grief!

I wanted to go to an electronic store. But by the time we got out, ofcourse they were all closed. We walked down the length of the mall then got the Nevins Street station and got the train home. Then I helped mommy put labels on her stuff. Last night I helped make them look a bit better and got her thinking of making the labels with different colours for the different ones. Right now I just changed the font for each one. But she will have to through the ones that she already printed out, unless she said that they were cheap and we could print out the newer ones.

I also had to slowly tell her than I had nothing to wear to church. I had such conviction when told Jhodie how i wasn't going to go to church to more or less just slide out of it when my mommy was talking to me about it. I really don't have anything to wear, considering I haven't been to church since I left here.

Well you have now been caught up.

I wanted to go the farmer's market over at Grand Army Plaza, today, but I haven't gone much further the breakfast and this blog. Oh, and checking my e-mail. It looks like I be headed out tonight. It seems like Aresh is having a second birthday party tonight. So I think I'm going. I think it would be a nice to surprise him.

Well, take care until time.

"grin"
