Gimme Back! It's Mmmmmiiiiiiiinnnnnnneee!

People, don't you hate when you let Black folks borrow you're stuff? They never give it back unless you ask them. For instance, my cd's. Those things are like my babies. I love them to death, I love music and each one of my cd's represent a different stage in my life. Right now, I'm in a mature stage because I can listen to music that doesn't refer to women as female dogs. Anyway, moving right along, I let a friend of mine borrow a few of them. She was going down my little cd tower and just picking out stuff. Then proceeds to tell me on her way home she's going to take them home. She asked of course, but she'd already made up in her mind that she was going to take them anyway. So, being the nice person that I am, I let her borrow them........That was two and a half months ago. Now, I don't feel that I should have to ask for MY stuff, simply because it's mine. However, I am going to ask her because she's is getting on my damn nerves borrowing my shit and never returning it. My cd's aren't the only things that she has she also has my air mattress (she had the nerve to call me and ask to borrow it, even though she hasn't given it back, ain't that a bitch?) and my money. Now, I don't mind lending people money, note the key word Lend, but damn when you feel it's apart of your biweekly budget. I mean you're doing your bills and when your paycheck comes up short, you say, I'll just ask Reza for the rest of the hundred dollars, I'll be alright. Now, I'm not trying to be mean, but I just hate when folks do me like this. I mean she did let me borrow some money last year when I was out on maternity leave, because my sorry sperm donor didn't have his ass conveniently around. I am eternally grateful for that. I have paid her back since, it wasn't all in one lump, but in several increments. Anyway, long story short, despite my friend's inability to give things back, I love her to death and wouldn't trade her for nothing in the world, I'll let the money go, but my cd's and air mattress, she's got to give that up.............Until the next time.........
