Strange weekend (yeah, I know - "big surprise!") -
Friday night: went shopping at the mall & dropped off onesies at Arty T'shirts to have custom onesies made for my friends, Gary & Twyla's baby boy, Kyle. One says "Boob Man!" and the other says "They Shake Me!" & has a picture of a really pathetic baby crying on it.
Saturday: back to the mall (under the guise of picking up the onesies, but I did manage to make it before the big sale ended at JC Penney's). I happened to run into my very good friends, Krista & Dustin (with their three kids), so we all shopped & had lunch together. I tell ya, those are some good people - we always have a great time & I just love both of them & feel so comfortable with them. (We've all known eachother since 7th grade.) After that, I decided I'd go test drive some Jeeps - I totally would've bought one, but I don't really have enough equity in my car yet to make it worth my while - it's alright, I like my car just fine, but it's so boring to have a car when I could be driving a Jeep with the top off! After I got home, the salesman called & asked me out. This guy is old & icky, of course, so I said yes. Just kiddin'! Gotcha! No, but I did have a weak moment & told him to call me back another time, instead of firmly telling him no like I should have. I have got to quit feeling guilty about turning people down! My problem is that I don't like to hurt people's feelings! Anyway, I did go to my office administrator's house-warming party & had a relatively good time. I convinced three of the "girls" (aged 31 - 50+) from our Yreka office to go into Medford & do karoake with me, but the first place we went had technical difficulties & had nothing planned as backup, so we walked around & went to a couple of other places, and by the time we finally found a place that had good live music, these guys were ready to go home...oh, well, I figured I had a designated driver & I should make good use of her, so I slammed some drinks down & we left. Turned out maybe that wasn't such a good idea...but, as always, I felt much better after puking!
Sunday: got up this morning & drove out to Eagle Point to go to church with Dustin & Krista & fam. Had a good time - the church has a really great band, but is a small church, not like Applegate. The message I took away from church was to quit living my own agenda & have faith in God & let Him guide my life...not like I didn't know this, but I always need reminding! After lunch, I took a drive through Sams Valley & came home, where I planted more flowers in planter boxes (my back yard is really coming along!) & watched a movie, then danced really badly by myself for a while, without the influence of alcohol, but just for the fun of it. I also got a call from Tyson today & it sounds like he's having a good visit. They went to the beach & built a driftwood fort & played horseshoes & had a BBQ today. Seth was kinda weird when I talked with him...he kept saying how it's been so long & this was taking a lot of getting used to, and I replied that I had been worried about that myself & I hoped that he'd get his license soon so it won't have to be so long between visits. Then he said that he'd have to get a motel to come see him since I won't let Ty stay at Seth's dad's or brother's. (I have good reasons for this, trust me!) I said that he could always stay at his sister's or here & he was getting argumentative, so instead of falling for all the guilt he was trying to put on me (some things never change, I guess!), I told him that it sounded like he wanted to argue & it made no sense. I can't wait to have my boy back!
