Taking the good with the bad

So in addition to the good things that have been happening to me personally in the past week, I've taken some hits along the way. Well, not me specifically, but some of those I hold dear. My brother got indicted and has to go back to court next month. Hopefully my sister and I can bail him out on Friday, because he's working my nerves calling everyone every five minutes when he knows that most cell phones don't accept collect calls. Then my girl Pookie got attacked over the weekend. Some asshole hit her over the head and tried to rip off her clothes. I thank God for that beautiful person he sent driving down that street that night to scare off the attacker. She's ok on the outside, but I'm worried about what's going on inside her head right now.

On a brighter note, me and my guy are still taking it slow. We talk everyday. I was explaining to one of my friends last night the similarities Mr. Smith and I share with Carrie and Mr. Big, lol. Yep!!! Every Carrie needs a Mr. Big, and I have mine. Here's why:
1. I have a great group of friends who I can share my ups and downs with and they still love me, no matter what (and vice versa, of course)
2. I blog (Carrie writes, lol)
3. We keep finding our way back to each other (As did Carrie and Big)
4. The chemistry between us is alluring and unmistakable (Brad and Angelina can't touch us, lol!!!)
I can really go on and on, but you get my drift!!!

My friend K has calmed down some too. Mr. Smith still isn't allowed in her house if we have a get together, but she referred to him by his name last night, so that's a good sign (for some reason, we all call him by his full name, like it's just one long first name. How cute is that???). It used to be "That Asshole" or "That Trifling SOB" or "That Confused Fuck!" (classic, lol). Now all I have to do is tell my BFF Forever we're back together...
