Laid back

As usual, my weekend was laid back. I did 99% of my list from Friday. I just couldn't find the motivation to clean my fridge.

The closest place to dry my clothes was in a Latino strip mall. At first I was hesitant, but I had to dry my clothes and I didn't know where the next closest place was. They didn't bother me and I didn't bother them. 3 more black folks came through after I took on the "I don't care, I just need to dry my clothes" mentality and felt even better. I hate that I felt like that initially, but it was what it was. Pooka had to use the bathroom and the closest public restroom was in the Latino supermarket at the end of the strip. Let me find out that I might have to do a lil shopping with Jose and 'em. They had some good prices up in there!!!! If you can ignore the smell of the place long enough to shop you can come up out of there with some good deals! The bathroom was nasty. Only 2 of the 4 stalls were open and the one not in use was full of **it, literally. I waited for the chicka to finish, got the toilet right for my child to use and watched her fix her hair and walk out. Not once did I hear the sound of water. UGH!

I got all Pooka school supplies except for a magazine thingamabob. The Target team member no I could figure out what the item was or find it in the store. I'll just wait till school orientation and have the teacher show me what they want me to get. I also picked up some wax hair removal strips. They were on clearance and I am slowly but surely taking better care of myself which right now I am focused on my skin. I am also changing up my swimsuit for the fall semester. The skirt on it isn't as long and it shows the bikini line so I gotta keep everything bare and smooth. Maybe I have to wait until my hair grows longer or something but the strips didn't get everything and I followed the directions! I am trying to get my smooth on and at the moment what I brought isn't doing it. I got some cream too. I will wait to try that out, then if that don't give me the feel I want I am going to spend some money on a good razor and go old school. I normally use disposables but I've been told by a few folks to leave them alone. I'll see what works.

I was bored enough to make a tentative plan of the rest of my college career on the undergrad level. I know what I am going to take and the semesters I am going to take them. If Central don't flip the script on me, this time next year I will be entering my last semester and graduating in the winter! YAY! I also changed my schedule yet again. I am not taking stats till the summer. It just works out better that way in the end. :-) So now I am going to take Adapted PE in its place.

The rest of the weekend was spent loving up on my child. The older she gets the more entertaining she becomes I swear! She currently wants her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. *sigh* I dunno about all that. Then again she has changed what she wanted many times already...a skating party, a slumber party, then a bowling party, now Chuck E Cheese. I was going to rent the shelter at the local park, but I am not sure if I wanna do all the work to make it happen! LOL I got 3 weeks to figure something out!

Edit to vent:

I went to the lunch room to heat up my lunch where I hear my mixed coworker ask my 2 white coworkers where a park was. The 2 white coworkers don't live in Raleigh so one said she didn't know and the other that did said that it was by a certain gas station on a certain hwy. The mixed coworker didn't know where that gas station was on the hwy and the white coworker that responded said that that is the only landmark she knows that it's near. This is where I jumped in on the convo (bad on my part) and said "its on (insert street name) near (insert a few establishments). Have you know my mixed coworker kept looking towards the white coworker and gave her the look like "did I ask her? At that point I shut my mouth, pressed the buttons on the microwave and walked out. I don't know who was more in the wrong, me for jumping in, or her for not accepting the answer to her question in a rude manner. The only reason I mentioned race in this is because it is very rare that she speaks to the non white members on staff. I don't know what the deal is.
