THE Welcome Wagon?

[ What makes a house a home? To different people it is different things. As I relaxed in the bathtub the other night while Mike was trying to fool me into thinking, he had made a home cooked meal. Which by the way was so sweet of him, I know the trouble of the running around he must have done to pull that off. Anyway, I snuck the Louisiana real-estate section in the bathroom with me. I browsed through the listing for homes and saw three great prospects. Of course I will have to check with Mike first. In fact, I am not even sure if he plans to go back to his original home. From what I understood, his home was beyond repair after hurricane Katrina. I knew that Rick was rebuilding his home and was going to use it as a summer home or what not. However, I was not sure if Mike had even the chance to think about that after everything Samantha had done to him. I figured that this would be a nice surprise and gesture towards our future. This naturally brought me to my first question what makes a house a home. If you look at Brandi’s idea of that you’d know the answer. Money, everything in her home is expensive. Even the paper plates that she makes Rick eat off when he is home alone and is too lazy to wash dishes cost a lot. I suppose that her being a spoiled brat her whole life has a lot to do with it. If you have ever met her dad, it would explain the way she acts in volumes. Me, I am just a simple type of girl. I do not want a mansion in the South. I just want some place nice to raise up my children. I circled the listings and planned to disgust them with Mike. For now, I am off to an interview lunch with my gal pal Jenny Tull. Savannah is so beautiful it really makes me miss my home in Sweetwater. Actually, I’ll be glad to get back to the country. To the peacefulness of it all, it is so different from Miami. Sure Miami is beautiful but it’s just so fast past. I’m more of a layed back type of girl. I walked into the restaurant and immediately spotted Jenny already seated at a table. She stood up right away when she saw me and hugged me. ] Jenny Tull: “Skylar, it’s so nice to see you again.” Skylar Black: “Awe thanks Jenny it’s great to see you too.” [ we both sat down and she took out her tape recorded from her cute pink tote bag.] Skylar black: “Jenny that’s such a cute bag.” Jenny Tull: “You think so? I actually got it on sale.” Skylar Black: “Really?” Jenny Tull: ‘Oh yeah. .Wal-Mart had them marked down to five dollars.” Skylar Black: “Gee maybe we should have done this interview there then.” [ I began to giggle.] Jenny Tull: “Well it’s not like it would be the first time someone was interviewed in a Wal-Mart.” Skylar Black: “Is that so?” Jenny Tull: “Yeah..Mike was interviewed by the new guy the other day there.” Skylar Black: “Oh right…I guess it’s just because Mike doesn’t seem too excited about this match, I just didn’t plain remember.” Jenny Tull: “He really doesn’t does he?” Skylar Black:”Not really he just feels that he wants to be challenged. And him fighting Rumbler again is a been there done that type of deal. At this point I think he would have gladly taken on Jimmy Stryker or even Devon Kain instead of having me fight him.” Jenny Tull: “You seem to always get stuck fighting the newbies don’t cha?” Skylar Black: “Yea I do. I almost feel like it’s a punishment of some sort.” Jenny Tull: “How so?” [ Before I could answer the question our waiter made his way over to the table. He placed our menus in front of us and took out his ordering pad.] Waiter: “Can I get you ladies something to drink while you look at the menu?” Jenny Tull: “yes, I’ll have an ice-T” [ Ah silly northerner. I don’t enjoy correcting people but I didn’t want Jenny to look dumb. In a low voice I said to her.] Skylar Black: “Jenny, they don’t have Ice-T in the south. They only have what you call sweet T….It’s real tea with sugar. It’s not a powder or anything you mix with water.” Jenny Tull: “Oh…” [ Jenny blushed a bit and looked at the waiter who knew she wasn’t from around these parts.] Jenny Tull: “I’ll have a diet pepsi then.” Waiter: “Alrighty, and you miss…” Skylar Black: “I’ll have a Sweet-T.” Waiter: ‘Very good I’ll be back with your drinks in moment.” Skylar Black: “Thank you..” Jenny Tull: “So Sky..You were saying that you feel always having to fight the new guy or girl is a punishment of sorts for you. Why do you think that?” Skylar Black: “Because Samantha still likes to hurt Mike. She’s a sad demented woman. And she knows that me being unhappy would hurt him. There really isn’t anything more depressing then losing a match to a new person. Sure it may build their confidence up but it makes you question yours.” Jenny Tull: “Do you question yours after losing the Fem-X title to Cyprus?” Skylar Black: “Not really. Cyprus is a fierce competitor. Sure, I would have loved the win and retained my tile. I had so many things planned for it. But if I had to lose it I’m glad it was to her. She’s tough woman that gets the job done and no one can argue with that.” Jenny Tull:”I’m just glad that you’re ok. Mike had concerns that you would be depressed about it.” Skylar Black: “Mike’s funny like that. As I said, sure, the loss didn’t feel great but the only thing I can do is learn from my mistakes and use them to get better. I’ve never been one to look at the glass half empty. To me the glass is always half full and when you loose then you learn from it so you don’t do the same thing. Next time we face off I’m sure the out come will be a lot different next go round.” [ The waiter came back to the table with our drinks almost on cue. He looked at me for a second and placed his pen on his cheek.] Waiter: “I know you from some where.” Skylar Black: “You do? Are you from Sweetwater Mississippi?” Waiter: “No..” [ Jenny smirked and blurted out.] Jenny Tull: “Are you a wrestling fan?” Waiter: “Yes..” Jenny Tull: “AWA ?” [ then it hit him.] Waiter: “Oh MY GOD! You’re Skylar Black!” Skylar Black: “Yes…” Waiter: “I love you..can I have an autograph Ms. Black?” [ wow my first crazed fan. As much as I hated to admit it, it was a slight confidence booster.] Skylar Black: “Absolutely.” [ He handed me the a sheet from his notepad.] Skylar Black: “What’s your name.” Waiter: “Jeb..” [ I smiled and wrote “To Jeb, thanks for the faith and love..Skylar Black.” I handed it to him and he immediately placed it in the hard cover of his book so it wouldn’t get wrinkled.] Waiter: “Thank you so much.” Skylar Black: “No thank you for being a fan an supporting us.” Jenny Tull: “Sky. You are so sweet. I swear most of the roster when I would interview them this way and a fan did that wouldn’t be so kind.” Skylar Black :”Well then they forgot who put them their and why they have jobs.” Jenny Tull: “you know, you are so perfect for mike it’s not funny.” Waiter: “So may I take your order?” [ We ordered our meal and Jenny winked at me shutting off her tape recorder. For now the interview was over and we were just two friends out for lunch. That’s what I like about Jenny, she knows when she has gotten all the info she needs. It’s the mark of a great reporter. We went on making general girly conversation about shopping among other things as we enjoyed our afternoon.] About The Match: Am I wasting my time? I mean I try and try, and it seems the harder I try the more I let myself down. I almost am doubting myself at this point. My quest to be the Fem-X champion was sort lived. My goal to make the women's division great again I slowly see slipping away. And what does this week have instore for me? Yet another newbie walking through AWA's doors and hoping to get the easy win? I can't allow it! For my own sense of pride I can't. I may not be as tough as some of the other girls but they don't have my heart. In a way I almost feel like this is Notre Dame and I'm Rudy! I give my all to make others look good and the management here doesn't even give me credit. I don't know what else there is to give. I do as I'm told and I get the new guy? How is that fair? Can someone justify this to me. Sometimes I feel that maybe I would be best valued as a vallet and just do my best to help Mike on his quest in becoming the World Champion again. But then I feel that I would be letting my fans down. I would be letting every little girl I told you don't have to comprise your values. That you should always be true to yourself and the rest will fall into place. I just can't give up on what I believe. I can't let last weeks match interfer with this weeks. That was the past and Monday I begin my quest to get back my Fem-X title. This week my challenge is Devon Kain who is mistaken if he thinks that victory will come easy to him. Devin Good luck but for first match will result in a loss. Too for you if you thought you drew the easy match first victory match. This time I will not be denied!
