So it’s been a crazy almost 2 weeks since my last post. Mostly due to the fact of a visitor and the lack of updates was also to prevent the giving away of any surprise, but she’s been back for a week now so that should be long done with :). My friend Talia just got back from Japan, but her first stop was here to visit me before making it home early to surprise everyone. She was here for only 2 days, but it was full of great food and good company. We went to see Star Trek and man was it an awesome movie. It was great for what it was, an alternate world. The sad thing is that only Talia and I were the only ones laughing at the cheesy one liners aka “Damn it, I’m a doctor not physicist!” We laughed, the rest of the theater was dead silent…. made me kinda sad really a great experience soured by those that didn’t enjoy it as much as we did.
The rest of the week was fairly low key, no volleyball due to the long weekend, but I certainly needed a long weekend from my long weekend. There was also a birthday party for a friend of mine the Saturday before Talia showed up. And this past weekend was pretty entertaining.
Lets start with Friday. So Friday night I had my first date off eharmony, got together for coffee after work and just started chatting. I started off by telling her that if she wanted out at any time that she could leave and I wouldn’t feel insulted in anyway. Turns out we would sit there and talk for the next 2 hours. Only reason I had to leave was because I had to go buy a present for a friend’s daughter for the birthday party on Saturday and also pick up some booze for the dinner party I was going to attend after that. Onto the present…. I didn’t think I would ever spend so much for a little kid, even one that I’m not overly attached too or have that much of a connection with their parent. I’m great friends with her mom, but the amount I spent blew my mind. I bought her a kitchen playset, the ones that stand up and are about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall, had lots of toys, etc. I think part of me wanted to get her that because I knew I wanted big ticket toys when I was a kid and I never got them. She’s just lucky that she’s the one that I ended up buying for first because I don’t think I’ll spend this much on anyone else’s kid 😛 I showed up early to help with decorations and picking up of the cake. It was a pretty big cake (for 60 bucks), a castle and it came in a box 2 1/2 feet long, by 1 1/2 feet wide, by 1 1/2 feet tall. Too bad I didn’t stay long enough to have any because of the conflicting plans. By the end of that I was out to my friends for dinner and Tequila, it was a Mexican themed drinking night and to be honest, the high end tequila reminds me a lot of whiskey. Like the high quality stuff, we’re talking 100 dollar bottles. I now understand why there is such a huge difference in the cost and quality of booze. Well I knew it the time it was whiskey night, but I have a much better appreciation of it now. Was a pretty quiet night and I took off early from that because it had been a significantly long day for me, out of the house for 13 hours 🙂 However I would not really get to rest as soon as I got home.
DJ roommate had a new girl over and they were watching movies and what not on the TV. Was social for a little bit, but then was just too tired and tried to go to bed. Didn’t really happen, didn’t pass out until about 4 in the morning because of the TV, well I was sleeping on and off, but it was pretty uncomfortable. Sunday was a very lethargic day due to the lack of sleep the night before. But I went to bed at a decent time and for some reason, still feel pretty tired today. Oh well, new volleyball season starts tonight!
For at least the next 10 weeks I’ll be playing a Monday/Tuesday combination. Monday is competitive hard court and Tuesdays is rec beach. I think I’ll be okay, but I gotta find something else to do, probably Friday nights, go blading or something. I really need something extra to push me over the current weight plateau that I’m currently at. I fluctuate between 213 to 217 on a weekly basis and the goal is to be under 200 by the end of the year as a realistic one. I really want to be 200 by the end of the summer but that’s 2 months away, doable, but keeping the weight off is the tough part. I will admit that I’ve learned to accept that I’m over average when it comes to weight and size and not as big as I thought I was in my mind. Thank you childhood upbringing 😛 Thank god I’m good enough to figure out my own psychological issues.
