Creepy Ok, I'm really not

Creepy
Ok, I'm really not comfortable with Mr. Creepy Customer calling up and asking me about my weekend. I hate that I recognize his voice. I do NOT work with him. I do NOT want to be his friend. He should only be calling me for help. And that should be a whole lot less often, in my opinion.

Weekend
I had a really nice weekend but it went way too fast. (It always does.) Karen and I went to the Rangers game Friday night as her company had a special event. It was actually a pretty exciting game, as exciting as a baseball game gets, when in the 7th inning the Rangers scored 5 runs in under 5 minutes. As the game wrapped up, it was nice sitting in the Gold Club with Karen having a drink and just talking.

Then there was the man who redeemed many men in my mind. He came to our table, asked us if he could buy us a round. When we politely declined, he politely thanked us and walked off. This is how all social interactions in a bar should go...but too often they don't. Karen and I figured that because this guy was older, he knew how to act appropriately. Far too often turning down a drink hurts a guy's ego so much he'll just stay and argue with you. I'm not much for arguing with strangers.

Saturday
Saturday morning, I helped Matt and Leia move just a few leftover belongings to their new place. I haven't moved someone with that many electronics ever! (I thought I had a lot of electronics...) It was only a couple carloads of stuff and since there were a few cars, only one trip. Easy, easy. After the move and the grand tour, we all had lunch at Mai's. Spent the rest of the afternoon, most of it on their awesome porch swing, catching up with Matt. It's nice to catch up with a good friend.

Saturday evening, I went for a swim at Mom and Dad's house. Again the water was the perfect temperature. Dad was even awesome enough to get chips and hot sauce for Mom and I while we swam. Wow, I have the coolest parents. Lounged around the house until it was time to go to Josh's.

Journalism Josh had the best party I've been to in a long, long time. I think it was so good because I met a lot of people who were cool. There were bloggers, there were journalists, there were yoga instructors! It was the perfect mix of people. I had the destinct pleasure of meeting Abby and Cate who are by far the coolest women I've met in Dallas (with the exception of the fabulous Lucci sisters, of course). I also got to meet the jaded physics tutor who complained it wasn't a good party - not a distinct pleasure. Leia looked SO cute - it was fun to see her out and actually get to talk with her! (Usually everyone else gets to her first.) Gary and I got some time to chat at the beginning of the night but he must have snuck out because I didn't see him later. Charles and I teased Roger about his immaculate apartment. Charles teased me about looking prime for the Love Boat - I was wearing a tropical floral dress. I avoided talking to the annoying cowboy boot guy...more than once. Left Josh's a little later than I had planned but it was just such a nice group of people. Came home and feel asleep on the phone with Kevin. It was a great night.

Sunday
Sunday Tiger woke me up around 8am. I let him out and fell back into bed. I didn't mean to sleep until 10:30 but it sure felt good. Strumbled off to the gym and was suprised at how pleasantly empty it is on Sundays. After my workout, spent a few hours talking with Philip which made for a wonderful afternoon. Got home and parked myself in front of the computer for the rest of the day/night. By the way, there are new photos up thanks to Jason and Matt for their awesome code.

Kevin and I stayed up super late last night talking. Yeah, it was 3am before we got off. But it was totally wonderful as it always is. I'm feeling very, very excited that I get to see him in just a few days! Running around Vegas with my best friend is going to be tons of fun.
