Saturday naps are sooooo underrated. I don't take many weekend afternoon naps simply because I can never stay sleep for more than ten minutes, but today, I got a good hour and a half and it was soooooo good, and much needed. Prior to that, I had the lobster ravioli that's been chilling in my freezer and OMG, THAT was so good, it's no wonder I ended up passed out a half hour later. If you see them at Sam's Club, do yourself a favor and get some. Sooooo good.
Can't say I was very productive today but I have a whole nother day tomorrow to make up for it, even though we're losing an hour. I just wonder whose idea it was to start daylight's saving time on a Saturday night. Why not on a Friday night so you have another day to make the adjustment before you have to go back to work? I swear people don't think things through.
On another note, out of the woodwork yesterday comes this guy who I know from upstate. Suddenly he's "I'm trying to see what's up" and I'm like why? LOL I really tried not to sound disgusted, because there was a time I really was interested in the guy, but you only got about 5 minutes to act like you got better shit to do before I'm gonna step aside and let you go do it. He hit me up out the blue and said he had just been thinking. I didn't even bother to ask what he had been thinking about because I knew it was some bullshit. I just said okay to his request to get to know me better and then proceeded as if the conversation never happened. I need these dudes to realize I'm a lazy bitch with no fucks to give about their sudden interests that can't be validated. I will exert exactly ZERO energy to their cause. I got a new phone 4 days ago and haven't even bothered to make the transition yet because it's too much work. You think I give a shit about your sudden feelings? Ima need you to take a Saturday afternoon nap and wake up with better shit to do. Please and thank you.

31: I need my bed.....
I just spent the last two hours of my life with Kenny Anderson. I wanted so badly to ask about Tammy Roman but I thought that would be the most basic shit on earth to do LOL. Didn't really care that much about what the story was and honestly, didn't really care that much about Kenny either. He's cool but if I can be frank, a little boring, at least tonight. He came off like he expected people to know who he was and either ask him a bunch of questions or be all groupied out. If you know me, you know I'm too lazy for that shit LOL. There's like 2 people on earth right now I would be star struck about and unfortunately for Kenny, he is not one of them. To his credit, he never came out and asked me anything inappropriate or insinuated that he had any expectation. That said, I was kinda annoyed that he kept touching my hair and calling me sweetie and when my feet hurt on top of that...... nigga LOL. I had to hit a dip on both him and the girl I was there with like yo.... soooooo.... I'm tired. Bye LOL.
The girl I was with was someone I met at the third event I booked myself for this week. It was like a pool (as in billiards) party in Flat Iron and she was on my team. When it ended, we hit a couple other spots in the area and Kenny was at the last one. Whatever to Kenny but the chick was actually pretty cool and we'll probably hang out sometime, but all I could think about when I was leaving there was changing my shoes and hoping there was pizza left at the house when I got home. I was in luck. Microwaved a couple slices, hopped in the shower, now I'm knocking out this blog and looking sooooooo forward to going to sleep. This week has been fun but it has worn my ass out. She talking about painting with wine (or whatever that shit is called) on Sunday but I can't make no promises. I am exhausted. It might be Sunday when I wake up LOL.
But it was definitely a good week and I want to have more weeks like this. Maybe just not 3 days back to back. I need some Epsom salt and hot rocks right now. Ooooh.... there's an idea......

30: Still painting the town
This whole getting out and doing shit thing ain't bad at all.
Last night I went to a meetup.com happy hour which was cool. Might have been better if I didn't spend the whole time with this lady talking my head off, but even that wasn't so bad. I just didn't get around to talking to anybody else. When I left there, it was even nicer outside than it was when I got there so I decided to walk from where I was to port authority. Took about 20 minutes or so but it was a really pleasant walk. Warm, I had my Pandora jamming, comfortable shoes, no worries. Only problem was I had gotten a second wind by the time I got home and didn't get to sleep til late. Didn't affect my morning much, so I guess that was all good too.
Tonight I went to my job's bowling party at this really cool place. If there is such a thing as an upscale bowling alley, this is probably it. It's kinda like a club with lanes and other game tables, a restaurant and a couple bars. Really nice spot. We had a really good time too. I even won $100. I may or may not have mentioned before that my team has a gambling habit. They bet on every damn thing. We all agreed to put up $25 and the best score would win the pot. Now I'm no pro bowler by any means, but I'm decent. It really came down to the last couple of frames too. I think I won by like 12 points, so it was close. Drink tickets, free food, good music, it was really a nice time.
Tomorrow is night 3 out and about and I hope that's a good time too. It's kind of a wild card because I had to prepay to attend with no real idea of who else is going to be there. I'm a sport though, we'll see what happens. I know one thing, I'm gonna sleep gooooood this weekend....

29: Stupid Shit
Few things are more annoying than when somebody asks me to do something there is no reason they can't do themselves. My mother is the QUEEN of that shit. Today she emailed me at work telling me that my sister was at home today and could I ask her what her shoe and clothes sizes are because she saw some stuff my sister likes and she has to rush the order.
*staring into the camera*
Okay first of all, there is always something wrong with the picture when my mother goes into extra detail. It's like with any liar, addressing concerns before any even come up. That's not to say she's lying, but she's definitely trying to manipulate me; all the extra detail is her tell. Secondly - and this is the part that really gets me - if you have to rush an order (presumably to get it to my sister in time for her birthday) why the fuck are you wasting valuable time emailing me when you can just ask her yourself? I mean, she knows her birthday is next week, and she knows you gonna send her something cause you always do, so it's not like it's gonna be some secret surprise or some shit. You very clearly spoke to her or else you wouldn't know she was at home today, but it made better sense for you to email me and ask me to ask her something you coulda asked her while you had her? Fuck kinda sense does that make?
Needless to say, sorry, no. Can't. I'm at work, I'm working. I'm not about to stop what I'm doing to do your stupid bidding. I mean .... is it me or is that just really silly? I'm still trying to figure out how that made sense to her. It's another thing that annoys me with her; when she gets me to do something, she keeps pushing for more. Stop that shit. For instance, she was talking to me last week about my sister's birthday and how she told her she wanted a Michael Kors bag and how she had also wanted a fat chain and a cross for the longest. She was was basically saying she didn't really know where to find either of them and she also wasn't sure how much it would cost. Well, mama.... I do know how much that would cost and if I leave that with you, my sister will be getting a very nice card and an invitation to order anything she wants out of your Chadwick's catalog LOL. But my sister is a really good person with a really good heart and I wanted her to have what she wanted, so since I was in a position to do it, I offered to get her the bag so my mom could just focus on finding the chain or whatever. Why we even talking about clothes now, I don't know, but just because I offered to help out on that ONE thing, doesn't mean keep asking me to do shit. Her bag is on it's way, she'll have it tomorrow. My part is done, leave me alone. Stop asking me about stupid stuff you can do yourself. All it's gonna do is cause a fight. I'm gonna tell you it's stupid, I'm gonna tell you no - not necessarily in that order LOL - and then you're gonna get an attitude but of course, you'll try to make it my fault cause I'm being "disrespectful" or "selfish" any time you can't get me to do something, and of course my reaction gon be like "aight den" which is just gonna piss you off more, so why even do it? Let's just skip to the end, I'll see you in 6 months LOL.

28: Meetup.com
Said I was gonna make a better effort to be somewhere other than my house all the time and I'm making good on that promise. I have a "thing" every day for the rest of this work week. Tomorrow is kinda unofficial because it might just be a stop through, depending on the crowd, but it counts (a meetup.com happy hour), then Thursday I have a bowling thing for work and Friday, speed pool (as in billiards), also a meetup.com function.
Have you heard of this? Well if ya haven't, it's a website where all these groups organize different events and whatever your interests happen to be, there is a group for it. there's singles groups, there's professional networking groups, there's techies, there's book clubs, there's film & arts stuff, there's animal lovers, there is like everything. Anything you're into, is there. There is even one called "I've always wanted to do that.... just not by myself" LOL Tell me they don't have everything LOL. I found this site the year I moved here but I never really looked at it again after the first time I checked it out. The plan was always to circle back but I never did. They send emails from time to time to let you know what's going on in a given week and I pretty much deleted it every time. This week I opened it and decided to browse around. They have some really cool events on there. Like REALLY cool. There's one happening tonight that I wish I had been aware of before today (because I'm not dressed for it) but I'm gonna be on the look out for that one to come back around. Def.
Anyway, this seems to be a really great way for people who are new to an area to meet people or get involved in things. IF you or someone you know is in that situation and doesn't really have a "network" to speak of, I suggest taking a look. It doesn't cost you anything to join the different groups, and some events are multi-group, meaning they are open to everyone, not specific to any group. All the events give you an idea of who the participants generally are too so you dont find your 40 year old ass at something a bunch of college kids are attending. It's the coolest thing I've stumbled across in a long time. Now I just gotta see what these events are like.
But give it a look. If it's not for you, it's probably a good look for somebody you know.

27:So.....
I hate this challenge because I don't always experience things I feel are blogworthy. You signed up for this shit, so you just have to ride it out. That's what you get, dammit....

26: Good weekend
I've been watching Creed all weekend. No, I mean LITERALLY all weekend. I ordered it on Friday night and whenever I was in this house, I was watching it. Back to back, for the last two days. I would still be watching it now if the rental hadn't expired. I LOVED it. It probably didn't hurt that I'm lightweight in love with both Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone, but I think it was a really well done movie and the cast was really well put together. See it if you haven't.
I'm so excited it's gonna be 60+ degrees all week! I am so sick of this pop-up winter bullshit, I don't know what to do! This time of year, when the weather starts to shift, is the best time for me. I'm usually feeling my best, my head is clearest and creativity flows thicker than any other time of the year, outside of my year-end reflections. I'm starting a new project that I'm really excited about and I know my priority is supposed to be getting out the stuff I've already written, but this is part of the problem with me. When it hits, I have to run with it, and that leaves other things to sit. I promise it won't be for too long but this one is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I even started it at one point, years ago, but lost it when I changed jobs (I was writing it on the work laptop and didn't have the foresight to transfer or back it up - lesson learned).
So I've got a thing or two to look forward to..... and now I gotta do my taxes. Ugh.
