Why I'm a lame ass

D is in Mississippi and J is in Los Angeles for the next week. Apparently, I'm in withdrawl from talking to my boys daily. Even though most of the conversations are inane, they still have the ability to lift my spirits. Plus, I was so frustrated by the Bridges walk that I was forced into spearheading, and it's not even an organization I support. Then, I was doubly pissed when the guys bailed on me by not walking in it, and instead of the 25 people I signed up, there were 8 of us walking. Grrr. I have to put it behind me, or I'll end up pissed all over again.

All of this put a damper on my weekend, so when I was invited out three times, I turned every one of them down. I'll have to blame it on being tired and in a bad mood, and hope those people invite me again for things.

On the plus side, my horrible neighbors moved out, and I'm hoping the nice couple I met in the clubhouse the other day are moving into that apartment, because I will befriend them if it kills me.

How would you know?

"What time is your flight?"
"8:15"
"flying at night is kind of sucky."
"I like it. You can't tell if you're crashing."
"Except you can feel the plane falling out of the sky."

Life is better inside my head

1. So apparently I created all of the scenarios in my head in regards to this weekend.

2. Jared didn't come. As told to me, "Jared hates Keeneland even more than children and old people."

3. D and J are having a bromance. Thanks to me.

Story of the day

So i get on the bus this morning, and there's one seat left. There are no bars or handholds to hang on to if there are no seats left, so i was relieved to see one. I walk to it, and the lady there doesn't want to slide over or have me sit there. I tell her it's the only seat, and the bus driver won't move until everyone is seated. So she gets up with a big huff, and says, "Fine," and lets me in the inside. The funny thing is, we get off at the same stop, so there was no need for that.

She glared at me the entire ride here this morning, but, part of that could have been the fact that my phone kept buzzing. I didn't care, she left me standing in the aisle for like 5 minutes.

I can imagine her side of the story- "man, there was this obnoxious bitch on the bus this morning that insisted on sharing my seat and texted the entire ride. Kids these days."

Dun dun dun, now with extra drama!

I have this premonition that everything's going to come to a head this weekend, and my life will change. I'm not sure what this means, or if it will change for the better, but I'm going to think positively.

The lowdown: I'm going to Keeneland (race track in Lexington, KY) with a bunch of friends this Saturday, for an all day trip of drinking, gambling, and debauchery. :) With me on this trip are my friend Misty, and her mystery man from the Young Professional group at work, J (the old), D (the new?), and Jared (the future?), to name a few. With alcohol involved, and how the parties act under the influence, this could be very good for me, or very bad.

I'm planning on limiting myself and staying clear headed, since it doesn't take much, and I am oh so easily swayed. Look for updates on Monday.

Edit: I decided to include below parts of the conversation I had with Heather earlier today.

7:27pm Ann
my boss was telling me the other day that my problem was i can't say no to anyone, so i get overloaded and stressed out

Why I don't have kids

I walked to Subway today, and when I entered, I saw a family with a mom, a teenage son, and a smaller son. The little boy was wearing a batman helmet and had a plastic sword that he was beating his brother with. I stepped up to the counter and proceeded to give my order. Next thing I know, the kid is whacking me in the butt with his sword, repeatedly! I told him, "Kid, you really don't want to be doing that." He continued, and giggled while he did so. I told him again, "Kid, if you don't knock it off, you'll be sorry." The whole time the mom just sits there and doesn't stop him.

Just when I'm at the point where I'm going to rip the sword out of his hands and beat him with it, he notices his mom has left him in the shop, and he goes running out the door after her. I turn to the next guy in line, and tell him, "I'm glad that brat's not mine." He agrees with me, and we both go on our way.

What kind of parent lets their kid do that to a perfect stranger, and then leaves him with me?

No, that's not lipstick

I flew to Houston yesterday on the company plane with one of the big wigs. He had me sit across from him so he could grill me on my numbers for the meeting. I knew this was going to happen, so I was prepared with my laptop. I set the bag on the tray table between us, unzipped it, and pulled my laptop out, cracking myself in the mouth in the process.

I may have a fat lip today, but nothing works better as an ice breaker, especially when you're intimidated by someone with power.

It's official, but not in the way you think

I am completely and irrevocably over J. He told me today that he has chewed tobacco since he was thirteen years old. Then, proceeded to describe it to me. I don't know if that was his objective, but whatever, it worked. I am so disgusted, I don't want to even think about doing anything with him again! At this point, I don't really want to talk to him or see him either.

Sometimes God works in mysterious ways.
