Can A Sista Catch Her Breath?---DANG

Now, i was on a roll at least i thought i was. Pardon my absence but I went to the "crappiest place on earth" which has been dubbed "the happiest place on earth". I will speak on my trip there later cuz i am already behind in my post on ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL of my sites. and plus i owe someone a photo.. So today I was in a car accident. WDH? i will talk abt that later to cuz you know i have to give my take on the WHOLE situation. But i will say that I am okay and MY CHILD who was in the car is okay too...for now..it just happened this morning...my back is having spasms. But i will talk about all that later...got a list of things i need to discuss.

but first things first.

The PRICE WE PAY TO LOOK GOOD

yeah that was the original title of this post before i got slammed into... but anyways so The Wedding happened...yeah the one where i was the original maid of honor and got booted out...that one...and let me tell you that i didn't mind for a change being the second best looking person in the place. and HTTN i ain't talking about the replacement maid of honor, i am talking about the bride, my baby, my very first friend, and my very best friend.

She looked soooo amazing. I have never seen her glow so much. amazing what some soap and water will do for a person. But naw, i boo-hooed like a big dawg when i saw her, of course it could have been that i was already emotional due to the fact that i had been stuck at Enterprise on 95th and Pulaski for 5 hours trying to rent a car..(btw, i am going to organize a boycott of that place, they are so ethnic...URG!) They told me over the phone i could rent a car with a debit card and my license which is now out of state due to the fact i go to school outta state...but when i got there they were like oh, no, you need a major credit card to rent with an outta state license... i was like WDH? why didn't you say this on the phone and what difference does it make? if you take debit cards and i gots money in the bank, wdh does which state my license is in have to do in anything. so now, i am sweating cuz i have to drive to Indiana for the wedding and it is getting to crunch time. And plus everyone else is getting ready for my bio brother's surprise going away party, that i wasn't invited to(he left yesterday for Iraq and yeah, i will discuss that later,too) so i calls my brother cuz they tell me that people in the military can rent a car with a military id and a debit card ( i know this already cuz i used to use my military id all the time for this purpose, and i didn't use it now cuz the army confiscated it...yes, another tale for another day) so i call him and give them the phone cuz he's gonna rent the car for me...but then he tells them that he has two licenses and a military id. and they like well then you need to provide a utility bill in your name to prove you are an IL resident... Wdh, WDH?!?! he has an IL license why does he need a utility bill in his name...he has a military id...why does he need to have a utility bill AND he lives at home with his parents...who and da hell has utility bills in there name when they living in someone else's house? (and i am not talking about them poor babies whose parents have put every bill in their name because their parent's credit is messed up) so in the end they wouldn't let him rent a car for me but let the WHITE gurl from Germany who didn't have an IL license or bill to rent with her debit card and a germany license...hmmmmm... yeah, you already know Enterprise has gotten a letter and have been alerted to the fact that i am going to organize a boycott. (I tell the Truthz)

So I had to call Other, who was a little disturbed that others now know I wasn't invited to my brother's going away party that she was throwing. So she told me when she finished running around getting the stuff for his party, she would come and rent the car for me....as the minutes turned into an hour as I waited for her, i grew angry. I was not going to miss my best friend's wedding. Why? Cuz it was people there hoping and expecting me to simply because I was no longer the maid of honor...I was gonna show dem heafas. Friendship is thicker than a title.


so finally Other gets there and I have abt 25 minutes to run and get showered, dressed and get to Indiana so I can help my baby get dress. Wasn't going to happen, especially after i got lost trying to find the place. and when my best friend wasn't answering her phone i just felt like i had totally let her down. i know she was going to be highly upset with me if i missed her wedding...so i am now in my car boo-hooing like "I hate Enterprise, if i find a rich person, Imma sweet talk them into getting a billboard that says boycott the Enterprise on 95th and Pulaski" after i get over myself, i flag down a driver and ask them if they could point me in the right direction. I had only traveled 35 blocks in the wrong direction.


So the moment of truth came when i walked into the hotel/banquet hall in my dress which was only two shades off of the wedding party color and faced the wedding party. I knew that I looked good when my niece, my best friend's daughter exclaimed, "Auntie Truthz, you look so good, what are you going to be in the wedding?" My response as the maid of honor rolled her eyes at me, "The best friend." Yep, yup, it didn't matter that i wasn't the maid of honor cuz nobody could take away the fact that we have been best friends for 25 years!


So, it turns out that everyone in the wedding party was running a lil behind schedule including the bride, who turned into Bridezilla...this heafa refused to get dress until someone found her special deodorant... do you know i had to run to Walgreens and get this heafa her deodorant so that she would get dress? So, some 3hours later, I was really glad that I wasn't the maid of honor because I got to be something better, the person that my friend knew she could depend on in a crunch...and this heafa had me running for toothpaste, for floss, for makeup concealer, for whatever her heart desired...and I gladly went arunning...


So, I had tips put on my big toes to top off my glam look seeing how my nails don't grow...and I fell down after the wedding, trying to move my luggage and I guess this is the price I had to pay to look oh so glam...


(okay technical difficulty...will correct tonight at home seeing that my home phone is now back on...)
