An Overdue Week in Review

Ah yes, I've been gone too long, mostly because my life is usually unfit to blog about. But then again, no one really reads this and I'm barely watching the Oscars soooo yea. Happy Sunday all. Let me bring you up to speed with what I've been doing:

NOTHING. Ryan left me last Monday to go to the Dominican Republic, but not before he got food poisoning from eating at Skipjack's and then of course, I got mine Monday evening. He was already gone, so I was left to my own devices(rolling around on the cold bathroom tile to feel better until 2:30am). Other than that, I've been talking to myself alot, and having one sided conversations with my dog. I did, however, buy a used 35mm film camera, which I'm super excited to learn how to use and learn how to actually take good pictures. We'll see, it might be awhile before the good part of that happens. For now, I'm taking pictures. I've also spent way too much time at the library.
(By the way, who DOESN'T love Alan Arkin? "Every night its the godddamned chicken." Go see Little Miss Sunshine if you haven't. Nerd.)

Friday night I went to dinner with 2 friends at the Texas Roadhouse. If you've never been to one, and you have an appreciation for warm rolls and sweet tea, then you should go just for that. The most important part of that night was the true acknowledgement of what my friend likes to call "the dealbreaker." This is the kind of friend who wears purple sweatpants, out in public. Which is nowhere near a dealbreaker for me, and I've made that clear to him. In fact, I love the purple sweatpants. What I DON'T love....men who wear pinky rings. I'm sorry, but that is my dealbreaker. I explained that to my friend and he laughed at me. But really!! There was a man sitting in my line of sight, who I ended up calling Liam Neeson to my friend Chris. He had slicked back hair, was wearing a sweater that looked like his mother knitted it back in the 80's, a HOOP earring in his left ear, annnnnnnnnd a pinky ring. Yes. I almost spat out my tea when I saw the light reflect off of it. But it apparently wasn't a dealbreaker for some other woman, because he had on a wedding band. Still, it's my dealbreaker.

Since the husband was still frolicking in the Dominican Republic, I went to the movies alone, which is HIGHLY underrated. It's a pretty nice experience. If you haven't done it, try it. I saw "Coraline" which was a really really good movie. My Saturday turned out to be pretty productive for many reasons, but nothing that would interest anyone else, so I'll keep that to myself. It was a good day and left me feeling hopeful.

Must have been a movie weekend for me because I ordered one on ON DEMAND. I finally saw "The Family That Prey's" and it was great. Ended up crying like a baby, but that's ok. I was alone, the dog was asleep, and it was dark and rainy outside. But I did some laundry, cleaned out the fridge, read, painted, wrote, cooked, and Sunday left me feeling pretty good. Maybe I'm telling you all of this useless crap because this weekend, I felt more like me than I have in a long time. I just need to figure out a way to feel like this all the time!

Enough rambling, I guess I'll keep watching the Oscars. Hopefully Hugh Jackman will put those leather pants on that he wore as Wolverine in X-Men. A girl can hope.......
