hello ladies

just one more day and i'll be in miami! i can't wait to see my parents. they're going to colombia from the beginning of june until january, so i only get to see them this weekend and memorial day weekend. i don't know how i'm going to deal with not being able to see them for 6 months!

anyway, i got an email from ekta on monday (after she pretty much ignored 2 emails and a phone call from me last week and didn't call to tell me she wasn't coming for my birthday until saturday afternoon) apologizing for not being able to make it and wishing me a happy birthday. oh yeah, and telling me that she would be in nyc this coming weekend so she hoped we'd be able to meet up. my first thought when i got the email was, "oh, too bad i won't be able to meet up with her because i'll be in miami." and then it hit me -- this weekend is calluzzo's birthday. coincidence? none of this would bother me if she wouldn't have avoided me last week. she could have just let me know in advance that she wasn't coming for my birthday, right? that's common courtesy, isn't it? oh well. . . i just had to vent. i know it's not important enough to let it bother me, but it's something that i haven't been able to get out of my mind. jackie thinks i should call ekta out on it (just say something like, "hey, not cool that you didn't tell me you wouldn't be able to come for my birthday. it would have been nice to know beforehand so i wouldn't have been expecting you. i won't be around this weekend but have fun celebrating calluzzo's birthday). she thinks i let things slide too much and i'm not confrontational enough and that i always make excuses for people (like, i didn't go to ekta's birthday so i shouldn't be bothered that she didn't come to mine). but, i don't know if it's worth it. i know ekta and i haven't been super close the past couple of years and i really don't expect a lot from her. if one of my real friends (like you guys or evelyn or mari) made me feel like this, i'd definitely say something. ok, i'm babbling and i need to get some work done. jackie and i are going to buy my birthday present after work today :)

which reminds me, i should schedule my massage for when i return from miami. . .

how's everyone doing?
