I Didn’t Get Blown Away

So, I had this great little post typed up yesterday and damn if something didn’t get screwed up and then there was no post. Technology, oh how I love thee, except when you screw up. Ugh. Anyway, I am doing well, never lost power or anything like that. Dennis is now a tropical depression and making the weather miserable, but not life threatening, just the way I like it. Not really. I prefer sunshine and warm weather. I like tank top and shorts weather.

Thanks for all your sweet comments about the situation with the Boy. I have managed to resolve the situation in a way that is best for me. We’ve made our positions very clear to one another and we will remain friends, after a suitable interval of separation. Sucks, but c’est la vie. I am handling this much better than I thought I would. Thanks again for all your support, internet friends and sister! Also, SP5 you are so awesome awesome awesome! Plus, you give great advice. THANKS!!!

Besides, this weekend ended up being one of the best ever. I worked a half day on Friday thanks to overtime built up and went and got my nephew and hung out with him for the day. Also, just so you know, my nephew is 18. He’s in Alabama for the summer and bored to tears since he doesn’t really know anyone around here. We had a great time eating pizza and and catching up and then going to watch Fantastic 4, which, by the way, is FANTASTIC. I ended up spending the night at my brother’s house Friday night after taking my nephew home.

I took Bear with me, who also had a fantastic time. My brother (nephew’s dad) lives in the country, about an hour away from Birmingham and Bear gets to run around off the leash to his heart’s content. Bear had a best weekend ever, except for the part where I pulled a tick off of him, thinking it was matted hair. Gross. Ok, well Bear didn’t really seem to notice or mind, but I was TOTALLY grossed out. TICK. BARE HANDS. SO. GROSSED. OUT.

Satur I ended up at a friend’s house for a "yard party." Yard Party = people + food + drinks = GREAT TIME. I got there around 4pm (party started at 3pm) and didn’t get home until 3 AM. That’s right. THREE A.M. Had the BEST. TIME. EVER. Met new people, flirted with cute guy. Drank lots of margaritas. Man, I love the margaritas. And you know what? When you put meat on the grill, it just tastes better.

What? The Cute Guy? He was loads of fun, we hit it off, joking and talking and general flirtiness. Very cool guy. Did I mention loads of fun? Well, he was. GREAT sense of humor. So were several other people at the party. I had such a good time. Right, well CG asked for my number and I saw no harm in giving it to him. He even called to make sure I got home ok. How sweet, huh? He also said he would call me this week. We’ll see. Also, just so you know, while I still have feelings for Boy, I am not going to mope and sulk over him because he doesn’t want what I want, and even though I still like him, I am NOT AFRAID to move on with my life and be open to new people.

Also, I managed to get absolutely NO knitting done AT ALL this weekend. Thought about it, though. Does that count? I could have done some knitting yesterday, but I mostly slept the day away. Oh, and did a little laundry and some light cleaning.

Oh, and just so you know (in case you want to send presents) my birthday is FRIDAY! Woot woot! I’m going to be 27. I’m really looking forward to my birthday. I plan on going out and having a great time with my friends.
