Monday…..in bullets (again)

*Sleep over with the cousins at our house, then hit the pool on opening day.  Which turned out to be in the 90′s.  *PERFECT*

*Got into a pissing match with some punk ass 12yro kid who kept insisting I was ‘cutting into line’ at the concession stand at the pool.  ….Listen punk, I’m paying for these 4 kids snacks that have clearly been standing in line IN FRONT OF YOU for fucking 10minutes.  Seriously?!  This is how you talk to an adult.  Wanted to bitch slap that kid. …..I’m all mature like that. *snort*

*Had an entire weekend without kiddos when they decided to stay at their cousins several nights in a row .  Leaving us a chance to have some adult fun.

*Enjoyed outdoor patio drinks with awesome girlie friends (PC included, he is after all an honorary girl) on Friday.  Drinks meaning beers that turned into rounds (yes plural) of Patron shots one beer in.  And an entire night of conversation revolving around sex.  Oh.  And a completely goofy conversation where SHE kept insisting she didn’t think she was my type.  ….Hon, you are hotter than hell.  I’m pretty sure that is quite my type.  HELLO!

PC’s such a sport, at one point he was even picking up guys for one of the girls at our table.  Ha!  Not that we probably needed much help.  Three overtly flirtatious party girls at that bar….trouble.  Just sayin….

*Woke up with a bruise ‘the size of Canada’ on my ass cheeks (as I told my FB friends) Saturday morning.  After an hour of being completely stumped as to where the hell it could have come from, it occurred to me….  The patio chairs from the bar the night before!  DOH!  I was wearing a little sundress and despite the alcohol had become increasingly more aware that my bony ass was sore from sitting on these metal, waffle cut out chairs.  Which is when we began mingling more I believe. It involved less sitting.  *ouch*

*Mid day beers and appetizers at Rock Bottom.  Btw…their spinach and cheese dip is *TDF*.

*Went to see Robin Hood. If you can withstand 30min of set up *yawn* you’re good to go. Movie gets better and worthwhile seeing.

*Weird dining experience at our favorite sushi restaurant.  Um…okay…..   But Plum Wine and Sushi- YUM!

*Finally, FINALLY watched Dear John three times.  Love, love LOVED the book…but the movie?  You will not catch me kicking Channing Tatum or Amanda Seyfried out my bed.  JUST. SAYIN!  *swoon*

*Had to cancel a pool date.  Boo!  90 one day, less than 50 the next.  *shaking head*

*Experienced mini panic attacks combined with insomnia through out the weekend.  Not a good combination.  Feeling…completely overwhelmed.

*Long talk with PC, change of plans in upcoming weeks.  Better game plan….  I think.  *deep breaths* It’s going to be ok.  Things are ok.

It’s Memorial Day.  Take a moment to remember what this day means.  It’s more than just an extra day off of school/work for family picnics……  I’ve been thinking about my young Marine friend recently.  We chat every so often.  Me and my ‘not sleeping habits’ means he is able to catch me at random times.  The time difference is crazy in Afghanistan.  He drifts between utter depression and complete euphoria.  Which is completely understandable but at the same time difficult for me to grasp…  While his friends at home are bitching about complete randomness, like school being ‘hard’.  Meanwhile a kid he knew was blown up 15′ from him.  *shaking head* I honestly, can’t fathom.  So I guess on a day like Memorial Day, you give thanks and special appreciation.  To the ones you love, as well a those you don’t who have and/or will risk their lives.

Anyone familiar for Bullets for My Valentine?  *grins*  No correlation, but fun to play off of.  Seems easiest to spill what’s on my mind right now.  Total randomness, bear with me.

* I changed my avatar again, maybe some have noticed.  I didn’t like seeing my ass in comment boxes everywhere.  It really was wigging me out.  But at the same time, I was tired of the pink plaid mini. Four years of the same skirt was old and boring. I needed a bit of a change, just not of my ass.  *LOL*  So you’ll be seeing my header as an avatar, which I felt quite fitting.  (course this means Blogger/Google accounts only, haven’t switched over WP yet…still figuring out what to do there)

*I finally was feeling UN-traumatized enough to go get my b.b. pierced again.  Remember when it was ripped out over Christmastime? *cringe shudder*  It took forever to heal, and like I mentioned…I was fairly traumatized. *cringe shudder* I actually considered not getting it redone.  But after almost 16 years of looking at it pierced, I just couldn’t not have it done again.  (esp bc of the ugly scar the last one had left, I know, call me vain, whatever)

*I’ve totally decided on my next tattoo and now have this insane *itch* to get it done.  I’m sure being IN the tattoo studio and talking with our totally awesome tattoo artist didn’t help any…. (don’t think I didn’t teasingly ask if she would do a BOGO half off deal while I was there ~wink~)  That and it’s fairly significant in importance to me.  Soon.

*Super fun night out with friends on Friday night.  Beginning with margaritas at our favorite Mexican restaurant.  It was SO nice to get out. I was feeling like such a recluse, lol!

*Did learn that there IS a difference bwtn good Brazilian Rum and not so good Brazilian Rum.  The ‘not so good’ stuff tasted like fucking wood grain alcohol.  *yuck*  Live and learn.  For as much as we’ve/I’ve been drinking it recently, good to know I guess.

*As of Saturday, I haven’t had to take any pain meds. WOO fucking HOO!!!!  I can not even *begin* to tell you how happy that makes me.  Friday I finally, finally felt back to myself. You know, the flirty, fun, bubbly me.  What a difference a week makes!

*I’ve also begun running again.  I’m not up to my normal 5miles…yet.  So far only 1.5miles at a time.  But GAH…it has felt SO incredibly good to get back out.  Plus I had about 6lbs in WATER weight to lose that was driving me mad (after effects of tons of IV fluids, shock from the surgery, and being laid up for over a week).  I’ve probably pushed myself more than I should.  Which was evident Thursday night (ooaaff!).  So I maybe overdoing things a bit, but OMG I am feeling bunches better.  Mentally, physically…..it’s good to be back to feeling so groovy.  *happy sigh*

*Date Night is beyond HILARIOUS.  Pee your pants type funny.  Laughed the entire time.  There is one scene, in a strip club.  That I swear to god is what it would be like if I tried to pole dance.  Bwahahaha.  MUST SEE!!!

*Enjoyed a fabulous lunch on Sunday at Rodizio Brazilian Grill with my sisters family and dad.  My dad and I haven’t had the greatest relationship (kinda like none) since I was a young teen.  Just recently, since oh, Christmas, things have changed a bit between us.  It’s really nice actually. Oh and in case you’re wondering what a Vegetarian can eat at a Brazilian steakhouse…..the answer is grilled Parmesan veggies that are TDF, grilled caramelized pineapple and Vodka (a Caprioska with Passion Fruit to be exact).  Mmm…..YUMMY!

*Oh.  And I will never again wonder about my sister and mine drinking habits after our most enjoyable time with our dad.  Btwn the three of us, we managed to enjoy 9 Brazilian drinks and if we’d stayed any longer it would have been more.  (can you say- lushes?  Hahaha….)  And come to find out, after we (ok, more so my sister, she introduced us ALL to these Caprihania’s) introduced our dad to these drinks, he now calls ahead to restaurants to make sure they serve them before making dinner reservations. Haha! I love it.

Welpers. It’s Monday.  Enjoy!

• Male child is grumpy. disruptive. loud. grumpy. pouty. grumpy….
• The. entire. weekend. (groan)
