I'm a feel a little sad and a lot guilty.  Kathy left New York today and went back home to Los Angeles.  I feel guilty because I didn't think she was leaving until the weekend and thought I'd have a chance to say goodbye (I'm still in Virginia).  For those who don't know, Kathy was Jefferey's roommate.  When she decided earlier this year to go back to California is opened the door for me to take the leap to New York.  I wont lie it was challenging at times, mainly because I went from living alone to with two other people.  I'm glad I met Kathy because I did learn some things from her and she's a excellent conversationalist. The more we talked the more I realized even if I didn't agree with everything she said (Kathy, I love Wal-Mart, always will, was there last night) she made excellent, educated and valid points.  It was also nice another minority in the apartment, just imagine the conversations between a mexican, a black male and a polish guy, interesting to say the least.  The biggest thing I took from her was the difference between Hispanic and Latino, I will not use the term Hispanic anymore, If you want to know why ask, I did and she made a excellent point.   Kathy at times was the peace keeper/referee between Jeff & I, God help us now that shes gone.  One night Kathy offered to fix Tuna Helper for dinner, I declined because I hate the stuff, Jeff wasn't hungry but she fixed it anyway.  Well after we realized she made it with milk that had expired 5 days earlier a rare thing happened, Jeff and I agreed THATS NASTY and pulled no punches telling her. That didn't deter Kathy she kept eating it and this is how she rationalized it "well the heat killed off all the germs".  Jeff told her if she kept eating it he was going to throw it out, he didn't get the chance, SHE FINISHED THE PAN.  I will never look at a box of Tuna Helper again without thinking of Kathy

I wish you all the best and I know everything will work out.   Take care and call me if you questions about the relaxer.

And one more thing, GET MAYA OFF THE PEE PADS!
  
I'm loving the Niecey Nash thing going on with the flower.
