Dinner with Wendy

My girlfriend, Wendy was so bummed out today after sending her kids back to their dad that I invited her to dinner and some girl talk. Wendy has two kids but their dad has custody of them during the school year and they come to visit Wendy on holidays and for two months each summer. So the summer vacation is over and they had to go back.

They are great kids – they seem really well adjusted, excellent manners, very lovable. I wonder if they will stay that way or if being in the public school system will corrupt them. Wendy worries that once they are under the influence of other kids and get peer pressure that they will pick up a lot of bad habits and bad language from the other kids. I’m afraid she’s right, but that’s why parenting kids when they are school age is still so important – you have to be ever vigilant.

Good Ice Cream

A few years ago we had a new ice cream plant open up in Nolensville to service the grocery stores in this area. The ice cream was originally made in Texas, but they decided to start expanding a few years ago. I’m really glad that Blue Bell ice cream came here. This is the best ice cream you can buy.

I know a lot of people really like Ben & Jerry’s, but to be honest, those are more about the extra junk they put in the ice cream, like nuts and chocolate and cherries. The Blue Bell ice cream is more about really creamy, homemade taste in the ice cream itself. The flavors don’t overwhelm you, and I’ve tried them all and like them all. My favorite is strawberries in homemade vanilla.

Pirates and Wenches

When I was active on a certain gaming site, all of my online friends were either pirates or wenches. It was quite fun to fantasize about being a wench. To say bold and flirty things that you would never say in real life was very liberating. It was fun being saucy for a couple hours each night. I miss that, but that group of friends dispersed when the site administrator flaked out on us.

Bar Rescue

I have fallen in love with this TV show. It is great ! The people go find these bars that are about to close their doors because they have no business and usually have turned into dive bars. They then check them out and go in pretending to be customers, before they announce themselves. After that they tell the people who they are and raise cain about what they see that is wrong with the bar. Usually it is just from laziness and people not doing their jobs right. After some training and a makeover for the bar itself, they reopen with a new name and find success. I like watching the turnaround.

Dinner and a movie

So happy. Last night we went out for dinner and a movie. We ate at one of my favorite places called Joes Crab Shack. I love seafood and this place has the absolute best there is in town. I had the Samuel Adams Steampot and boy was it delicious ! We hadn’t been there in so long, I was overjoyed when we pulled in. I didn’t know where we were going until we got there. My honey is so sweet. He knew exactly what I was going to love and made sure we go it. Our movie was really good as well, and we came home to curl up on the couch for a little while before bed. Probably shouldn’t have watched the news though.

Blech

Have you ever had one of those days when you just want to go back to bed and pull the covers up over your head. Well today is that day for me. I woke up groggy and feeling out of sorts and apparently I am not the only one. I think I am going to make it an early night tonight. I have no desire to watch TV or anything else other than to crawl into bed and go back to sleep. I hope I am not coming down with something. Blech again…

New mic

I bought a new sure beta mic today. My old one just quit on me and I really had no choice. I have to get the pitch just right for this performance we are doing at school and practice makes perfect. You really can’t practice at home and get the same sounds without one. My teacher says I am over doing it, but I really just want to do well.

So happy

I had the best night last night with my honey. We had the house to ourselves and romped around like kids. Of course we are still kids if you ask anyone over forty, but that is okay by me. I made an awesome dinner for us we watched a couple of hilarious movies. The popcorn fight was fun, but cleaning it up later took some ingenuity. Boy that stuff really gets all over the place. I even found some this morning in the planter across the room. Not sure how that happened. Oh well, life is grand so who cares.

I love my life !

My mother

My mother came over yesterday and helped me clean out the spare room since the roommate moved out the night before. I am making enough money right now to not have to worry about having a roommate anymore anyway and my mom said if I need help she will help. That way I don’t have to worry about anymore problems like the last one. I am sooo happy that her and her animals are gone !

PS
Done

Roommates suck

I hate having a roommate. She never does her dishes or anything. She won’t clean out her litter box or even clean up after her dog. Oh she gets around to cleaning up after the dog, after about six hours or so. I have to smell this crap on the floor all day long and I am so over it. I have tried to talk to her repeatedly and she gets loud like she can intimidate me. Not anymore. I am evicting her as soon as possible.
