Weekend happenings
Friday I went to a bonfire sans hubby. Had a good time, got to drive a 4-wheeler and met an opera singer. Super nice dude, very down to earth. He played his iPod and we all sang and danced. When I met, I thought, he must perform around here. I asked where is his next show at. "Carnegie Hall". See his website and learn more about him at http://www.paulmow.com.
Saturday night went to a Halloween party that I've been hearing about since summer. Since I had to stay sober and responsible, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. One of husband's co-workers was real drunk and started shoving me around. So when I shoved him to get him away from me, I got yelled at by one of the guy's having the party. So that sucked. Husband can go himself next year. We took another couple with us, and they were ready to go when I was. Husband wasn't so eager to go...he was busy talking to co-workers - about work.
Today I went to the SOFA exhibit at Navy Pier. We cut it short to get out of there at a reasonable time. I bought Husband an Al Capone t-shirt for Christmas. It says "You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun". I thought he would like that. The train ride home was torturous. We got stuck sitting by some Notre Dame students who used the word "like" a minimum of six time every sentence. I am guilty of using that word also, so now I will stick a fork in my eye when I catch myself doing it.
I have a birthday coming up. Oh boy. Another year of bitching about whatever employment situation I'm in and babysitting drunks. I'm going to call the nunnery and see if they have any openings. Any lessons learned? Nothing that I haven't talked about here. Well, yeah, there are a couple. One is that everything we do is by choice. Choices other people make for themselves will not be my problem and I cannot worry about these things. Someone wants to be an asshole, we have a choice how they make us feel. I also don't expect people to carry the burden of my own choices. The second lesson is nothing is permanent. We can change our situations by the choices we make. If the situation is bad now, it don't always have to be bad. Things are looking up this year!
