Yesterday was one of this blog's biggest non-picture posting traffic days. I got more visits from Las Vegas than anywhere else! Guess I have some fans to thank! If you are from there and coming to Pride in San Diego next weekend, let me know! Would love to say Hi!
Addendum to Thursday's minor drama:
Cute buddy and I have had a big discussion this morning. If it had been one of the first times we were suppose to hang out, I probably would've written him off. I am a big believer in open communication, and I thought he at least deserved a chance to know how I felt, and also a chance to let me know what/how he thinks and feels about it. He has apologized profusely over the weekend, and again this morning. I've also let him know how it made me feel as well as what it means to me in the big picture and allowed him to respond.
Our future plans that have been made are still on, and I hope we can get over this speed bump and move on with what we've learned here. Our situation may be hazy, but the situations within don't have to be.
Thanks to my friends who had my back, and you might just roll your eyes to this, but you know I am not one to easily give up on people. Yes, I may be too nice at times, but this time, I did stand my ground before I moved forward. Everything just happened to work towards a resolution.
My weekend was good. I got to hang out with some friends from Las Vegas that I adore as well as some local friends that I seem to only see around holidays and even made a new friend, but it's always still great to see them! We had some quality pool/hot tub time, bbq'd, went sailing around San Diego bay, watched fireworks at the harbor, watched my friend do his paragliding, and took a couple naps. My friend Gregg is always an above par and gracious host.
My weekend was tainted by some minor drama on Thursday night though. I was suppose to hang out with a cute buddy of mine Thursday night, and pretty much he was going to hang out with us for the weekend. He actually made the plan on Tuesday and I thought all systems were on track for this. Thursday night, I drive down to the 'hood' and meet up with a friend for a beer waiting for my buddy to call. Nothing. I call him and he said he was eating with a friend, which I thought fine, I figured he would call after. Nothing. SO, I've pretty much been flaked out on.* Friday, he txt me, and I told him I wasn't a happy camper because he flaked out on his plans with me. Well, over the course of the weekend, my phone got wet and died, so I didn't talk to him pretty much all weekend. Looking back, I see that I carried that disappointment with me all weekend. It made me feel a little less of a person, and I had some self doubts because of it.
*We met at a birthday party and he did chase me for a while. I was untrusting because he is super cute, and actually pretty much my type, which never happens! We hung out a few times before he told me he was going back with his ex aka the love of his life. I wasn't too hurt or actually surprised by this and encouraged him! (If it's the love of his life, that doesn't come along too often and we had no commitment. I was completely supportive!) I told him I would still be his friend above all. This does leave room for me to be a little untrusting of his intentions.
Well, it's that time of year again when friends and family gather to celebrate the still living Jeff Goldblum and Will Smith flying into the heart of the beast of the alien control ship and implant a virus that allows the world's military forces to defeat the alien scum!
What? That's not it? Ok, so we are celebrating the 233rd anniversary of the separation of the American colonies from Great Britain with the signing of the Declaration of Independence. We, as a people, need to remember the words that we deemed Just and Cause for our separation from the tyranny of the British rule.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."Ok, enough with the heavy. Here are some ways you can show your patriotism!!
I am going to spare the details, but last night I went to make a glass of Fiber drink. Roomie had bought an industrial sized container at CostCo, so I lug it out, take the scoop and put a scoop of it in a glass, add water, and drink it. After I drank it, I read the instructions. The scoop included is the size of the scoop that comes in the Kool-Aid canisters, probably 3 or more table spoons in size. The instructions stated to add 1 teaspoon to 8 oz of water. Oops! I did wonder why it was the consistency of corn bread batter that had a touch of Tang added to it. Why would they include a scoop that would be that big if you aren't suppose to take that much? Long story short, it worked in 8 hours! Mental note, read instructions before self administering fiber!
