50 + Welome...
Last night Chris and I went to see James Hunter and Chris Issak. Anyone who knows me knows I could give two shits about Chris Issak but man oh man James was amazing as ever. Chris and I had the opportunity to speak with him again after the show. What an amazing performer. He was gracious enough to sign my ultra cool James Hunter Tote bag as well. So, after James Played there was about an hour intermission. Chris and I decided that NO we weren't gonna stay for Chris Issak and we were gonna split. Until we came to the horrific realization that we had been parked in !!! There was no way we were going to be able to get out of the parking lot, unless I used my super human strength to pick up the car to our right and literally swing it out of the way. Not happening. I tried. So, we sucked it up and went into the music tent to suffer through the show...OK, picture this..cape cod...Izod..polo shirts...very white skin...boat shoes..lily dresses. OK, I have just described the other 998 people that were at this show. Preppy hell. Ladies were literally screaming out of their minds for this man. The best was the blonde girl in the front that was just shaking and flipping, and shimming, with all her might. She came to the show to land Chris Issak that much was apparent. I would have gladly paid the $65.00 all over again just to watch the crowd...

Spiders
On Friday my last day of work my car decided it was quitting too.
I took it into the dealer today to get a diagnostic check done.
This weekend I had tried to skimp out and see if I could figure it out myself.
First, I tried the oil change on Sat. Had them run a check on the car. They say it is the gas cap. I say no I tried that. She says go to autozone they can check it there.
I go to AZ. They say it is your gas cap. I say NO I tried that already. He convinces me to purchase a new one and try that. I do. It doesn't help.
Today I learn I will be going back to NY on Tuesday not Wed I had originally planned.I decide to try and squeeze my car in at a dealer, not my usual dealer.
I go there and he is like you expect us to figure this out and fix it in an hour and a half... I smile and nod yes.
He says they will do their best.
About 45 minutes later he comes back and says well, we figured out what is wrong. You have spiders living in your value (intake valve that helps recirculate the exhaust fumes back in the engine...for those of you who care). They have made nest and it is so webbed up in there that no air is flowing through...doesn't carbon dioxide kill things?
So they have flushed out the valve. He says...did you get an oil change recently? I say yes on Sat. Mind you it is Monday, he says your oil filter is leaking. You need a new one which means you need another oil change. I was like just go for it, I am not going back to that place again.He is like OK it is going to be like 35 dollars more. Plus the 105 it cost for the sider evacuation.
They change up the oil and get me on my way spider free...oh, and he was great he gave me the oil change for free.

Last Day at work
Today was my last day at bus. My day started in grump ass mode- see last posting...
But now I am over it. I have decided that no matter if the little malfunction light has come on in my car I will not let it dampen my mood for now.
Tonight was fun drinks and snacks at the Biltmore. A huge bill which Christini insisted on picking up...She also gave me a beautiful ring today I am going to miss her.
So now I am full of Guinness and tequilla. Watching the olympics.
Pretty low key weekend planned..
I asked Ron not to come. I will spend the weekend at The Yans. by the pool.
Sunday I am going to spend with Tom...AKA Crazy Guy...he is not really crazy.

Jealousy Rears it's ugly head...
Annoyed by people.
I just got off the phone with Ron. I had to just get off the line.
We are supposed to hang out this weekend.
I am pissy already and he is in a bad mood.
Trying to figure out what the deal is.
He asks if he is staying I say whatever you want.
Then comes the air conditioner argument.
I swayer I have never met someone who is so fucking whiny about having the AC on...
I was like OMG we are not having this debate AGAIN.
I just was like ok I am going to bed. Just because I like it cold when I sleep...
Is that a crime?
SERIOUSLY.
And George is just a fucking jerk.
Has not changed one bit since I last saw him.
Guess I am not going to see him this weekend.
Now Courtney is not in my plan this weekend. But, he does have plans that do not include me. I am jealous which is stupid because you made it this far in the posting and now that I had other things planned.
I am completely irrational.

Dating is Weird
Okay
so I must have something on my mind. It is 1:15 am and I am up sending emails to myself because I am trying that self-editing thing. Where you want to send an email to someone but you send it to yourself first and wait on it..
So I figured I would put a little post here instead.
Last week I went on a date with a guy named Courtney. Nice, good manners, very sweet. Good date. Started off rough but ended very well. I behaved.
So we text back and forth I think everyday. He always sends me a text in the AM.
Well today I decide to figure out if we are gonna hang out again. He had asked me before so I assumed we would but I needed to take matters into my own hands.
THIS IS WHY I AM STILL SINGLE...FYI.
SO we talk on his way home from practice, he coaches football. I ask him if we were going to get together and then I was like good, I like you...in my mind that means in a non stalker, you get a name-not a nick-name, I haven't found a serious flaw with you yet kind of way.
I think in his mind he was like............ssssskkkkcreetch..."lets take it one day at a time"...
We made plans for Sunday and everything is OK. But I seriously think he took my statement much too literally.
So now I find myself typing out emails explaining the situation...but emailing them to myself because I am not sure if it is worse to send it or just leave it alone and address it when I see him on Sunday. Or, just leave it be.
