..................is a pretty good indication that someone really needs to talk with about something important. Well that is unless you're my sister and you do all of the above to just say what's up.
One of my friends (Trisha) put in the work trying to get in touch with me this evening to tell me about another of our friends (Laci). Laci, Trisha, and I (just for the record these names have been made up to protect the innocent and ig'nant) met during college. Trisha and I met my very first day and I met Laci either the same day or the next. We were tighter than panty hose two sizes small during our time in college and developed our own little clique. During our time in school we had some F-U-N! Fast forward to about 1998 and Laci drops out of college. Trisha did too eventually but I wasn't sure if it was at the same time but that's neither here nor there. Laci moves back to her hometown and gets married to her high school sweetheart. Soon after they one have kid then another and then get divorced a few years after that. Laci moves back to central AR, becomes an LPN and is doing well for herself as a now single mom. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately depending on how you look at) Laci liked to indulge in the comforts of Mary Jane quite often, got randomly drugged tested and lost her job AND her nursing license. Can you say BUMMER?! Not too much longer after that Laci meets some random cat,they fall in love quickly, and are inseparable. If I recall correctly this was around 2002/2003.
They end up moving in together, living life, making it work yada yada yada and ended up getting married last year. Everything seemed to be going fine...well except for the fact that he didn't like working the type of job that required you having taxes taken out of your paycheck. You know what that means. Anyway, so random cat gets busted as does Laci at their house during some kind of stakeout.....I know *sigh* Laci gets off on probation but random cat has to do some time as he had a prior record. She seemed to be doing farely well when I would talk with her. I think her side-piece that she met about a month after helped with that......I know *sighs again*
Normally Laci would send text messages like crazy, you know those retarded ones people forward (and that I canNOT stand!!). Trisha and I noticed that we hadn't been receiving texts from Laci at all. I asked Trisha if she had spoken with her lately and she said no. Hmmmmmm I thought, somethings wrong. Trisha agreed especially seeing as she had received calls from Laci's landlord and the furniture rental place asking her whereabouts (she didn't even know that she had given them her name and number as a reference. Don't you just hate that?) I asked Trisha if she had spoken with Laci's mom (they usually stay in pretty good contact since Laci and Trisha are from the same hometown) and she said no but she would reach out to her because like I said.....no text message from Laci (at least once/week) was just strange. Well today I get 4 calls and 1 voicemail message from Trisha. She informs me that something was wrong....Laci been locked up dawg! *exasperated sigh* She gives me the rundown about how it all came to pass. Turns out Laci didn't pass her piss test when she went to her scheduled PO visit. They locked her up for 4 or 5 days for violating the terms of parole and she is now in rehab. She's been there for about 3 weeks now and will remain for the next 30 days.
SIDENOTE: I'm watching Chelsea Lately (love her) and Mayim Bialak (aka Blossom) is on and she has two kids! Who knew?!
According to Laci's mom, she's been giving her hell in the counseling sessions and is mad at the world. Hell I would too if my life was spinning out of control but hey....she got herself into this predicament. There are so many questions running through my head. The main one being why, but she's my friend and I know her so I can pretty much answer that question. It just really baffles me that she would risk it knowing she has two kids to raise. Now she's put even more of a burden on herself and her mother. I'm just hoping that once this stage of her life has passed that she is able to get herself and life together.

That was kindof hard to read b/c I think you confused the 'alias' names a few times. lol
I feel bad for the kids. So is ole boy still in jail?
Dang, I sure did! Thanks for telling me, it's been fixed. :) Yep...still in jail.
Damn, and she was probably the goodie two shoes of your group too. *ducks* I kid, I kid. Hopefully her head will clear up after the weed and some of the anger is out of her system.
Naw, none of us were really fit that bill. lol I hope so too....*sigh*
I am sooooo not supposed to be reading blogs here but I got the invite email and had to see what was going on on your side of town.
Hate to say this about your girl, but she had it coming.
ehhh, nothing much. I just felt the need to tighten up around here for a hot minute. :)
No harm done. She put herself in harms way so hey.....
All I can hope is that she gets it back together eventually. I just really hate to see her going down the wrong road when I know she is capable of so much more.
Seeeee, it's always the random dude that will get you caught up. She's probably giving people hell because she's mad at herself. Hopefully she'll get it right soon.
scandal!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
i also have to laugh about your sister leaving tons of voicemails just to say hi. i have a friend that does that too! LOL
As soon as i got to the part about losing her nursing license, i saw where this story was going. that being said, it's still very unfortunate, for everyone involved.
re: your sidenote: did you catch her interview w/ T.I.? Hilarious!
@Tasha, lol @ random dude. I agree and I hope so.
@Tanyetta, scandal indeed! My sister is AWFUL about that....just awful. lol
@blkbutterfly, no I didn't see that one. I bet she tore him a new one. lol I want a chuy (sp??)of my own. Is that wrong?? LMAO!!
actually, she was flirting with him. you could tell she had a thing for Black men, or at least T.I. she had him blushing and everything!
as for the Chuy thing... uhm, whatever floats your boat! LOL!
Flirting with him? Bwahahahahaha I know she was on her a-game too. I need to try and find that on youtube.
