dating part 2

so i met a guy in tahoe and he seemed nice and normal. so i gave him my number when he asked. less than 10 hours later i received 2 text messages, 1 phone call, and 1 voice mail (all before 10am...i was sleeping!). he was wondering why i wasnt responding. so i finally responded later that afternoon that i lost my voice and cant talk. so he texts me and calls me again. i dont respond. then he calls and texts again and leaves a message this time. i dont even listen to the message but i read the text. i quote "hahahhah. did i really not get a returned call? where is that beautifully fun woman i met in tahoe? where did she go? what did you do to her? :)" WHY DO I ATTRACT CRAZY PEOPLE???? side note - lindsey's bachelorette party in tahoe was super fun and i am so glad everyone had a good time :)

Dating

I hate dating. I went out with a guy that was on the same plane as me for a work trip. He listened in on my telling my life story to the married guys next to me and chatted me up after the flight. I thought he was cute and nice so when he asked for my number I thought "why not? give him a chance. go out on a limb!" so we talked on the phone once and the conversation was really fun and easy. so he asked me to go out on saturday and we went to sushi in downtown la jolla. i was having a really good time and we were getting to know each other. then at the end of the night he basically forced me to kiss him and shoved his tongue down my throat!!!!! it was the worst kissing experience EVER!!! and i was thinking WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS AND WHO DOES HE THINK I AM???? i got home and called christy right away (she stays up late) and i could not help but have extreme ick factor over the whole thing. so he texted me the next day and i didnt even want to respond. he texted me again today and im just ignoring it. i done. im done with dating. where is the guy who is going to convince me that dating isnt so bad and sweep me off my feet? are there no good guys out there?

Cooper

I got a cat! He is a 1 and a half year old brown tabby. His name is Cooper. He was living with my mom and step dad since he was a kitten. They rescued him on the side of a freeway on ramp. My mom decided this weekend that she had too many pets and said I could take him home with me. So I did! He is such a sweetheart and loves to play and snuggle. He has only been with us for 2 days but he already likes to sleep with me on my bed and follows me around my apartment. I think he's going to be very happy :)

recording equipment

so i got recording equipment for my computer and i set it up this week. ive been writing songs for a while now and decided it was finally time to do something about it. so this is my new project :) im super excited about it and i am so happy it is the weekend so i can play around with it. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

trying to get back in it

So I feel like lately I don't have time to blog. But some close friends/family reminded me that my blogs don't have to be long and "perfect". Sometimes I find that I don't do something because I won't be able to put the full amount of effort I think it requires. It will be my goal to not be this way with my blog. So today Robyn and I are driving up to Pomona for our dad's retirement lunch/ceremony. I am really proud of him that he worked really hard in his career and I'm so happy that he will have time now to do the things he really loves to do (after fixing up the backyard for Chelsea's wedding of course!). I'm also looking forward to having a "road trip" with Robyn. I always love our chats during long drives :)

back on the blog wagon

I'm sorry. I'll be better. :)

thanksgiving

Thanksgiving with the family!!! This is the cousin dogpile pyramid. We had so much fun at the "kids" table. It is really awesome that we get closer as we get older. We can appreciate all the different life paths and genuinely care about how everyone is doing. Thursday was spent with my dad's side of the family and Friday was spent with my mom's. I saw 4 Christmases (really cute and funny) and went shopping...a lot. I was really irritated with the crowds this year. Actually this was the first year that I felt anxious being at home. I think it is because I was afraid of running into Vance and his gf the whole weekend. This is the first holiday season I will not be spending with Vance and it is really hard. I'm going to talk to my therapist about it tomorrow morning. I had a couple melt downs over the weekend. I felt like I was doing ok and now I feel like I've taken 10 steps back. I did go out with Phil and Nick on Saturday night. We went to Montana's and had so much fun. I really enjoy hanging out with those guys. They are true friends. Oh and it was weird to see so many Glendora people around. I didn't really see anyone I wanted to talk to but I saw a bunch of people I recognized. I think with getting older I am beginning to pull away from things of the past. I did have a really good time with my family members and close friends I got to see. I hope Christmas is a little more cheerful though. I just have to keep on keepin on.
