Just me and my spaciously random thoughts.

Back to work and other exciting news!
Ending my sad times on a high note, I went out this weekend and surrounded myself with friends and new acquaintances. Maybe I was a little over the top, but I enjoyed being around upbeat people and in a fun environment.
My weekend really got kicked off Saturday by helping Head Trauma move a couch! I assisted by standing far enough away and telling him to watch out for walls, doors and telling him not to drop it. For the most part he did fine. So, if you ever need really heavy furniture moved and don't want to pay for it - call him and I'll supervise. Together we do a great job! Once he loaded the couch into the truck, I had to do the whole supervising thing over again at his house! Exhausting!
From there we rested at my house playing a few PS2 games. We have this thing about selecting one player games and one of us directing the other on what to do. It works great for about 10 minutes before one of us gets totally pissed at the other for barking orders. The controller gets tossed, and then we calm down to start the cycle all over again. We could, and have, done that for days without sleep! (Red Bull is a GOOD THING)
After a brief couple of hours playing games I met andersenKT at Taqueria del Sol for a bite to eat and welcome her back state side. We laughed, we talked, we ate - but we didn't drink - until later but I'll get to that in a minute.
After lunch I headed over to a local park to see a wonder young lady celebrate her 6th birthday. My lunch ran a little late, so I missed the HUGE kickball game, but did make it time to see about a dozen three foot tall kids ingest two foot long Pixie Stix! Oh, their parents loved that I'm sure. But don't worry there was plenty of soda to wash it down with, and then cake and ice cream.
Time was really crunched all day and before I knew it, it was time for the Derby Party being held by family friends. When I got to that party, the front yard was innundated with kids ranging in age from several months to teenagers. Inside the adult party was in full swing with catered food and big screen tv to watch the Kentucky Derby! A fun time!
Unfortunately the close proximity to the office drew me in like a magnet, so I had to stop by on my way home to get some things in order for Monday. While I was there bobafred called and invited me out to Park Tavern for a drink. He said bump was going to be there. We hung for awhile, but decided to meet up at Hand in Hand. That's went we met up with andersenKT and one of her friends. bobafred called some others (names slipped me at the moment) and our little hang out turned into a good crowd.
Today was Mother's Day and it ended up being a little down for me. I stayed at home and didn't do anything all day. (except for having dinner with friends who just got back in town) Now, I'm preparing to return to work tomorrow and get back to a "real schedule". We'll see how it goes.
