I Knew Exactly What I Was Doing!

Hi, Everybody!

So, here it is—my second day back at Rust, and check this out: The sun is out, but it is freakin’ cold out here! It’s like I never left Southern Cali… but then again, I got an email from my Cousin Calvin, and he said that it’s pouring rain back home. Well, speaking as a Cali girl, I can tell you that California needs all the rain they could get. As far as Holly Springs goes, it’s gonna be nice and sunny, but we’re supposed to have a high of at least forty-seven today… and it’s only 37 degrees as of this here blog post! But then again, I’ve got all kinds of warm winter clothes with me—and never mind the fact that I’ve got the heater blasting like crazy in my dorm room.

Well, I’ve had some time to think about it, and after conversing with my girls Ruby and Azalea last night, I gotta say that had made a great point—I am a creative, calculating chick! Y’all know that I had to give my girls the latest update on what has thus been known as “The Ray Incident,” and of course, I didn’t leave out any detail. I told Ruby and Azalea how I gave in and agreed to meet Ray, but only on my terms—I chose the place and the time, and I was there a half hour early. Ruby and Azalea were looking at me as if I was a movie screen… matter of fact, Ruby repeated numerous times that she wished she was there to see me in action, and Azalea pointed out how it was rather sly of me to ask Ray to meet me at the exact place where he can meet “his replacement.”

“Yo ass knew exactly what you were doin’, Girl—you ain’t slick!” Ruby declared.

Yes, I knew exactly what I was doing, and my plan worked all too well. At the same time, though, I just couldn’t do to Ray what he did to me, especially after knowing that he was two-timed far worse. Like I said in a recent blog post: I guess I just have too much compassion in my heart… but then again, Gramma Jewel always reminded me of the golden rule, and I just couldn’t find it in my heart to rub it in his face. Believe me when I tell y’all—the thought was there; it presented itself on more than one occasion, but in hindsight, I killed Ray with kindness and forgiveness, and that is a reward in and of itself.

Well, whaddaya know—this little Vipress is really growing up!

Until next time, y’all take care.


Smooches,
Natasha
