Return to Self…

18 06 2008

For the past several months, I have been spending a lot of time with the BF.  He got a new job and he had to move, so I’ve been spending a lot of weekends at his house helping him finish his remodeling project.  Needless to say, I’ve been spending so much time with him that I’ve neglected my own friends and my life. 

Now it’s time I return to myself.  It started last weekend, Friday night I attended a friend’s 30th birthday party, solo.  Then Saturday night, I had a girls night out with a couple of my girlfriends from high school.  Oh no, firends, it doesn’t stop there…  This weekend on Saturday, I am going to have another girls day, with another group of friends.  The plan is to spend the day at a frou frou fitness club.  The kind that people spend the day at.  They have an on-site spa, restaurant and pool on the roof.  Then after that, we’re going out for drinks and then dinner.  A very excellent girls day out. 

I’ve also decided to go ahead and book my yearly trip to Greece, without the BF.  He’s been very wishy-washy about booking a ticket and commiting to a date range.  So, I told him the other night that I was going to book my ticket and if he wanted to meet me out there he was more than welcome, however, I wasn’t going to wait for him anymore.  So, THERE!!!

I see that my life is moving on, with ot without me.  I prefer it move on with me!  I’ve decided that I’m going to back off from seeing soo much of the BF.  This summer is my summer.  I don’t want to end my relationship with him, because I love him to death.  I believe that pulling back just a bit and re-entering my life, I’ll be more self-assured and therefore, become more attractive to my BF and myself!!

Indy 500…Or Bust…

27 05 2008

I attended my first race car event ever on Sunday.  My BF took me to see the Indianapolis 500.  I’m noImage Hosted by ImageShack.ust a race car fan myself, I’ve never actually sat and watched the Indy 500 or any other type of car race.  Although, recently I have seen snippets of some races because my BF is a HUGE fan of this type of stuff.  I didn’t know what really to expect.  I knew it would be a sight!!  I knew I would see drunks and lots and lots of Hillybillys!!!  But other than that I thought it would be a 2 or 3 hour race and then we would go home!! 

I can’t begin to explain what I saw or what I experienced!!  It’s unlike anything I’ve ever been to before.  Now, I’ve been Image Hosted by ImageShack.usto Grateful Dead Concerts and Lollapalooza Concerts, but neither of those compare to what I experienced over the weekend.  People camped out for days and days before the race.  We parked in a field about a mile from the track.  The field was filled with tents and campers and people tail-gaiting.  People were passed out amongst empty beer cans and bottles of cheap vodka.  It looked like a huge continuous party had been going on for days.  Good times!!

Did I mention the characters I saw?  There were plenty of characters!!  There were characters!!  People spreading the word of the lord amongst people spreading The Herps! 

Here are a few more pics…

These pics were taken within the first hour.  When we finally got to our seats, wait, let me re-phrase, when we finally got to our bleacher, I was pooped!!  The race hadn’t even started yet!!  I was in awe of the spectacle of drunkards and attendees!!  It’s supposedly a “family event” but it was farrr from it!!  There were party revelers everywhere!!  When the track lets you bring in your own cooler full of food and beer and they have a designated area what they call the “Party Deck”, you know it’s going to be a good time!! 

Here are a few more pics from inside the track…Image Hosted by ImageShack.usImage Hosted by ImageShack.usImage Hosted by ImageShack.usImage Hosted by ImageShack.usImage Hosted by ImageShack.usImage Hosted by ImageShack.usImage Hosted by ImageShack.us

 All in all, it was a good day!!  My first Indy 500 went off without a hitch, I even made it onto TV.  These last few pics, Danica Patrick was hit by another driver in front of where I was standing, so I got a few choice pics of the situation!  I had a great time with the BF!!  He always takes me to the nicest places!!  I hope when I take him to Greece he will be just as impressed!!   





Inappropriate Words

21 08 2007

I have a problem!! Yes, people, I have a big problem. They say the first step to recovery is realizing you have a problem. So, I’m coming out to all 3 of my readers. I have a foul mouth!! Foul, foul, foul!!! I use words like….

Heifer
Douche Bag
Cocksucker
How do I put this word delicately…C U Next Tuesday
Fuck
(Mother) Fuckers
Sons a Bitches
etc…

So, here is my plan…I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and I am going to try and lay off the first 4 words on my list while I am away. Then, hopefully I can ween myself off the rest of these words and use them sparingly. I can do this!! I majored in English for fuck sake!! (remember this foul fast starts tomorrow, well maybe not tomorrow, but the day after)

Good luck to me!!
