*eh* (Guess this posting is sloppy and deserves secondies.)

(Previously:)
NVG asked about if bein' buzzed and phone callin' 'bout relationship status compared to bein' all kindsa drunk and itchin' for a fight (with respect to the same person) means there's all kinds of hidden craziness going on..
My vote: Yep...and she might not be able to understand or express it yet.

As for the extremely cool half-asian chick...Lemme paraphrase the cartoon..
GO JOE!
(Gorramit, the whole freakin' board thinks you deserve it.) You care 'bout her, but right now you don't owe her any more loyalty than as a distant friend. Go have fun with Felicia.

Hope the D*C-ers have a relaxing weekend and come back refreshed.

Thanks 'Neko. Kinda giggled when john and I were pondering where she gets her incredible color from. I honestly had to ask because the color and her facial features didn't match and I'm actually pretty good at those sorts of things. She's half Japanese.

As for Drunk dialing: I learned to repress all sorts of anger when drinking. It actually works better than when I'm sober.
But as for dealing with someone who's off their nut regardless of sobriety status, there isn't much I want to do with her at the moment.

Thanks for dropping in 'Neko. When does your break start again?

ADD: Gotta run. I'll run in this weekend as I really got to get payroll out early Monday. G'night folks.

I hope you got to hang out with the half-asian this weekend NVG. To echo others' sentiments, you deserve it.

Zeph, it was really good to see you happy. Your girl is a real gem, too.

Well, aside from hanging out all evening for two evenings I really didn't do much other than that with her. I realized something: she might get me in trouble. She's been divorced for six months after five years with a real dirtbag, still likes to go out dancing in town, and drinks. Okay, putting these things aside I forgot what is said about co dependant reovery: Avoid ANYONE you are easily attracted to.

Not that I won't still give her a chance. We had a whole lotta fun just hanging out. I just wanna be sure that I ain't making a mistake.

Of course that mistake might simply to be having sex with her on a regular basis with no more commitment that to the sexual relationship as she is just as afraid of STI's as I am.

Not much else going on. Shooting with a large group next weekend as a kid everyone calls Sarge is moving away and we want to give him a fun send off.

Good Morning everyone. It has been raining on and off for a few days and I am so enthralled with the brisk, clean mornings. I hope everyone else is offered such a great feeling.

NV- there is a LOT to be said for a no strings relationship...as long as both of you are completely on board with no strings it's all good... That being said, you do have a tendency to be attracted to women in need of rescue...So make sure you're careful and then have some fun!!!! HUGS

This seems to be a pattern for you. Are you sure this isn't just the hero complex again?

Not sure Zeek. I didn't really know until recently. Seems she just gets to hanging around having fun at the shop and that is it. What's funny is that I never got the idea that she needed to be saved or even helped. She makes more money than me, drives an awesome Monte Carlo, and makes her own way in her life. I think it just feels good to have someone elses attention for a change.

Jimi: thanks for the advice. I know there just has to be a preferential choice to be made and some research to make the decision. I'm thinking the research is more than enough reward to find a preferance.

(Smiles for the hand shakey thingy) Thanks Jimi.

I like giving the attention MSG. It ain't like she's waving her stuff openly in front of me. At the onset it was a bit different. She wore some more revealing tops and such, but my focus really wasn't there and I think she caught on to that. Now she is a bit more casual with her clothing and my focus is on her even more now. I had fun. The kinda fun I used to have with Mindy before slipping off her nut. I like girls who love to talk, have a quick wit, warm smile, and that bit of wild spirit behind their eyes. That will never change.

Damn I'm chatty. I should be working. Have to finish payroll within the hour and interviewing four folks after one.

Morning shiny folks!

I'm mostly recovered from my weekend. My last horse show of the year (of the ones I run) went off without a hitch...although I am EXHAUSTED. You've heard my volunteer rants more than once...well, it gets worse as the year goes on. But the last show, I'm down to bare minimum. I was literally working on show stuff from 8 am on Sat to 11-30pm, was at the barn at 7am on Sun and didn't leave until 7pm. That kinda schedule tires a girl out. :D

I did get a chance to ride (not my horse...he's still recovering) and had some fun. And turns out this will be good schooling for me as Show will be out of the game for about 6 weeks. Eek. The big putz. That means I had to call yesterday and un-RSVP myself from the $1000 Hunter Challenge we qualified for. Boo hiss. There's rarely a chance to win money in the hunters at the shows I go to and I was looking forward to the opportunity.

Ah, but if more people had volunteered, I wouldn't have been working so hard for so long. I could've been out of there at a decent hour.

Heh. I think that answer is out there in the archives of FFF.net already.

I like the idea of "John Cusak, High School Career Counselor" or "John Cusak, he just bitch slapped me and changed my life."

Bought Knocked Up this morning and can't wait to get home. Saw it already, but wanna watch it over and over again. Seems I watched it at a time when some of the stuff happening was too real for me. But I might be able to laugh a bit more now.

Oh happy day!!! I traded some PB stuff for 200 buck worth of work at Johns shop. Not only is that cool, but I get the friend discount so my 200 bucks worth is other people's 350 to 400 bucks worth. Life is rockin' right now.
