Randomness of Week

So I went to the doc today and got my bag of drugs like I knew I would. Apparently I have trachetis and sinusitis; basically a bunch of bacteria in my upper respiratory tract. No bronchitis though... whoopee. I had that in September. Always got something...

So gotta back track a few days and update ya on some things.

Friday... went to the movies with M, a guy that I met up here. So I think it is important that I point out that this was only the second time that I've been anywhere with M. I should also point out that I have never spoken with him on the phone. With that being said, M hands me a blue bag within the first few minutes of seeing him. Now ladies, if you don't know the famous blue bag, hit me up so we can tell yo SOs that's where it's at. The man bought me something from Tiffanys. I can't take this I tell him. I give him all the rational reasons of why I shouldn't and he persists. Says to take it as either a late birthday gift or an early graduation gift. I was thinking in my head... "You bet not think you getting ANYTHING because of this". I'm not one of them. So anyway... I've got a nice lil bracelet. I'm starting to wonder if this man's got money. I looked up the price of the thing and I know men who've been WITH a woman for years and ain't trying to buy no gifts like that. Ummm... don't know bout all this yet. Living and learning....

Food... so M and I and then A1 and I went to Kaze, a Shabu Shabu restaurant in Chinatown. So what's Shabu Shabu? It's a Japanese variant on the hot pot. Plates of meat and veggies are dipped in broth and then eaten with a side sauce (delicious). I had the surf and turf with a bunch of seafood and prime rib in the Korean Kimchi broth. The prime rib was off the chain. I could eat this thing like once a week. I'm going to have to find a good Shabu Shabu restaurant in ATL or I'll be coming back up here now and then just for that. LOL

Religion... so A1 and I spent the majority of our Easter in the bookstore studying. The life of a graduate student is none at all. Anyway, we were sitting on a bench outside waiting on our always-late-number-10. Another bus on a different street had stopped to drop and pick up and off came a gentleman in a tan suit. He starts walking in our direction but to the side... he is about to cross through the park sitting behind us. He looks up and changes direction. "A1... he's coming our way; grab your purse". The man (minister) approached us with greetings of Easter and asked if we had a church. We both explained that we were Christians with church homes and other basic conversation. THEN the man completely turns towards me and says that God had sent him there for me. He wanted me to know that I was destined for great things and that God knows what I'm going through but that I shouldn't be afraid to seek counsel. This is the short version. The man kept going on for a minute. I was like why is he just looking at me? I started to ask him where A1 blessing and prophecy was. LOL. It was just interesting. Almost every other day, there is something happening here in the city and I've got a front row seat to it all.

Yeah I wouldn't have expected the blue bag/box until marriage, or after (unless I follow through with my plan to only have rich friends who know and always try to one-up each other). Wow, maybe I should go ahead and apply for that job I saw in Boston....
