You taste just like glitter mixed with rock-and-roll

I am currently watching baseball. It may not be the Brewers, but I love me some baseball.

The weekend was good. When I wasn't working we were hanging out with Angela. Saturday morning we took her to the Farmer's Market. I bought some apple cider. We also went to Whole Paycheck Foods (totally stole that from you Cat ;)) where Angela bought a New Zealand lamb roast for Sunday dinner. I also bought some rice and a scone. I was dropped off at work early so I had lunch before starting. It was pretty slow, but typical for a Saturday.

Sunday I thought about getting out for a run, but mornings where I don't have to do anything right away are few-and-far between so I lounged for a bit and went for a long walk instead of a run. It was mum's birthday so we all had a lazy day. While dad was painting the door Angela, mum and I went shopping. I bought two sweaters and a new wallet. We built a fire outside and chatted with the neighbours for a bit. I ran around with the girls. Angela and I worked on dinner. The lamb roast and roasted vegetables were absolutely delicious! For dessert I made mum a Snickers-inspired cake: chocolate cake layered with chocolate frosting, caramel, ganache and peanuts. It was good! We lounged around a bit before I went to bed.

I opened at work this morning. It was good, although I always forget to fill the mini icebin with ice from the big ice bin. I got out 10 minutes early and stopped at Walgreens quick before going home. We had a bit of time before we had to drive Angela to the airport. After we said our goodbyes we stopped at the post office so I could mail something. I had a piece of cake before going on thetreadmill. I showered and am now doing random stuff before I start dinner and go out tonight.

Random thought: I just love baseball players.

My week of late

Sorry for lack-of-posts!

I've been working a lot. Our friend Angela is in town for the weekend so we're spending time with her. We had Indian food from Maharaja as a late lunch. We also did some shopping. JCPenney is having a good sale that starts early so Ange is going to join me and we plan on making a field trip to Whole Foods since they have some New Zealand lamb and she is from NZ so she's going to cook some for mum and dad's birthday dinner Sunday night.

Nothing much else has gone on. Working and doing stuff. Nothing exciting.

Random thought: Indian food as GOOD!

Content/my 100th blog

Hanson was AMAZING.

My Brewers swept the Cardinals and ended the season on a good note.

The Tigers v. Twins game starts at 4:00 so I'll be able to watch most of it.

Opening at work wasn't bad.

I get paid Friday.

Trevor Hoffman is back for the 2010 season.

Angela arrives Thursday.

Random thought: Life is content.

Some funnies before work

Saturday

Friday was a good day. I didn't work in the morning so I ran errands with mum and then went to work. It was an okay day. I had a good time closing with Anjali; she's cool. After work Lindsey and some friends of hers picked me up and we went to a housewarming party. That was fun! I did not drink very much and switched to water. I had fun talking to people I had never met before. There was like a 2.5:1 ratio of guys to girls so needless to say all of us girls were paid attention to. I got one guy's number, but he was drunk so it doesn't really count. I'm going to see if he wants to karoke with us tomorrow night. I got home just past 3:30 and was in bed just before 4:00. I probably didn't fall asleep until almost 4:30. I got up just before 11:00. I watched the beginning of the Brewer game before going to work. It was slow for the most part.

Speaking of work I will now be opening a few days a week AND I got a raise - woot! I'll have some more responsibility, but nothing major. I'll be earning more than what I did at the bakery and doing less physical labour.

Random thought: I'm soooooooooo happy I don't have to go in until 8:00 tomorrow!

Bed? Please?

I work this evening. That's fine. I don't mind closing once in a while to keep things interesting, but I'm tired and I want to go back to bed. I'll probably hang out with Lindsey after work. I told her earlier I don't want to drink after my debacle on Sunday. If we hang out also on Sunday I'm going to offer to drive. It's not that I cutting out drinking entirely or am worried I'd "go crazy," but I want to lay low on the drinking for a bit.

This morning I ran about 4 miles and walked for another mile or so. Mum and I went grocery shopping. I was a bit disappointed that Chicago didn't get the games since the biking events would have been in my area, but it's exciting for Rio.

Right now I'm just watching Project Runway. I'll be leaving to catch the bus in about 30 minutes. Maybe I'll just try and rest (not sleep) on the way there.

Random thought: Maybe I just need some espresso.

Random thought #2: Where is my hottie?! I have not seen him come in all week?

It took me how long?

So I had a thing for this guy I know named Kevin. As time went on my "thing" for him became less, but part of me was still curious. However, sometimes he'd say these real jerk'ish things that would make me think why the hell am I still talking to you? After one thing he said (that we'd have sex if I was drunk enough and he was desperate enough) a few of my close friends told me to stop talking to him all together, but I didn't.

We were talking last night, via IM, and he said another jerk thing and I called him out on it. I was sick of it. At first he said he was just being a smartass, but I called him out on that too and said that in person it may come out differently, but when it's over an instant message it can take on a completely different meaning. PLUS when you say you're "kind of sorry" are you really sorry or sorry you got called out?

I started explaining my deal and then I flat out said that I had liked him for a while, but didn't anymore. I didn't say why, but he was pretty quiet and didn't ask questions so maybe he correctly assumed it was because of those jerk things he said. After we got done talking my "curiousity" of him completely vanished. And we agreed that we make better friends than anything else. And if he ever makes stupid comments to me that I do not think are funny I will call him out on it again, like I would with any other of my friends.

Why it had to be that that made me completely stop liking him I don't know. All along I knew that if we were to ever get together that it would not be a good situation, but I was still curious. Not anymore. :)
