Highlights of my Day... Sunday, February 21

1. CALLING ALL OWNERS OF OATMEAL… or anyone who can get in contact with oatmeal, real oatmeal, not instant oatmeal. My worst fear has happened, ok maybe not my worst fear but definitely a not-so-fun situation has happened. I am down to my last few scoops of natural oatmeal and desperately need more. WILL YOU HELP ME?!!!

2. .… must… have… oatmeal…. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Besides the oatmeal crises, everything else today was good. I practically inhabited a seat in Coffee Bean for the day when Cherry Pie and I chatted the hours away and then I met up with Buff Boy the Original.

4. A couple of weeks ago Snickers and his coach reached a breaking point in their relationship as coach and athlete, and as trusted frien. A lot of silly and unexplainable things have been going down between them and it’s been driving me bonkers. I had emailed my trusted friend, the Japanese Promoter, about it and today I got a response.

5. I shot my mouth off awhile back when I told Snickers “I want your boxing club to die” but now I’m second guessing as to whether I can honestly apologize for those words. Today I vented to Cherry Pie about all the stress and silly unexplainable things that have been going down as a result of Snickers’ Coach – Homeboy C. When Snickers and I first started to date we kept our business a secret from his coach, knowing full well that if he knew he wouldn’t let us train together and he’d give Snickers a hard time about it. We knew he’d view me as a big distraction, which is totally understandable, but what he doesn’t know is that I am also the main person who pushes him to succeed. I try to support him 120% because I know he loves his boxing and because I know what it’s like to have a passion that those around me don’t support. I don’t want him to go through the same problems I went through. Having said this though, it’s extremely frustrating when those who really should be supporting him (hint, hint.. his coach) don’t.

6. Snickers is ranked third in the OPBF (Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation), which is impressive by itself, but he also holds Korea’s Super Light Champion belt… or so he did up until a couple of weeks ago when his coach suddenly decided to hand over not only the belt but the title to KBC (Korean Boxing Commission). Ya, you read that right. He showed up at the club and his belt was gone. Now my initial question was “why?”… Who does this?

7. Snickers was supposed to defend his belt at a fight on February 6th but he couldn’t accept the fight because we had already planned our honeymoon and would be returning on the 5th. No sooner did we arrive back from Bali but the belt had been returned to KBC… coincidence?! I think not. Homeboy-C had taken it upon himself to strip Snickers of his belt AND title, something that both he nor I (nor anyone else for that matter) ever imagined he would do. You can imagine the frustrations this had brought not only Snickers but also myself. Junior Mint, the Japanese Promoter, and even numerous teammates of mine have all expressed their disbelief and disgust with regards to this situation. It still boils my blood to think about it.

8. I really don’t want to get involved with whatever is going on between Snickers and Homeboy-C but I can no longer stay neutral. Nobody gets away with messing with my man – my husband!!! And let it be known, this will NOT be tolerated. He picked the wrong person to mess with.

9. Cherry Pie let me vent to her about the whole Snickers/ Homeboy-C situation and Buff Boy the Original let me ramble on about how perfect my honeymoon was. After all that was done, I returned home to find my beautiful husband waiting for me.

10. Capped the weekend off with a dinner date at the cheese tak galbi place with Snickers.

QUESTION OF THE DAY...
Can you really forgive if you can't forget?

QUOTE OF THE DAY...
