Thursday Roll Call

Hello everyone

Well I did have lots of fun yesterday.  But our quiet night out turned into something entirely different...hahaha!!!  Instead of just the two of us, we ended up going out with him and his 2 friends and one of their sisters...it was a blast!!!!  I never go out and stay out late on a school night, but Cameron lives in Las Vegas and I never get to see him.  So we went back to my place so I can change...I was all dressed up to go out dining.  I changed to jeans and a tshirt.  Which by the way, even though he saw my pictures he made a big deal about how I looked.  He kept asking if I was sure I just wanted to be friends...and I said...you live in Las vegas and I don't want to move so yes I'm sure.  His friends were great and think we will be hanging again. 

Our evening started at the pizza place across from my place (we all met there).  Then at some point we ended up in Indiana...of all places a Karaoke bar.  I never did this before and I can't sing worth a crap but who cares.  But the way his friends do it to make it fun.  You don't choose your songs they do!!!!  So I ended up singing Sexual Healing and I Touch Myself and Pour Some Sugar on Me and I Kissed a Girl...hahaha...Oh but I gave those songs everything I had!!!  I got them back...they had to sing- Single Ladies, Like  a Virgin, Man, I Feel Like A Woman, And Stand By Your Man and YMCA...hahaha...and they were awesome singing them.  The bar was roaring with laughter...the guys running the karaoke machine there were telling me I need to come there more often.  OMG...we were there playing stupid drinking games and singing karaoke till 2am!!!  it really was a lot of fun.  And his friends were great.  After that embarrassing Facebook crap...I'm sure people were thinking things.  They like to tease and play around but really there is nothing going on with none of us.  In fact one guy at the bar was being rude to me and one of the guys asked him to step away from me....they are very protective of me.  Like my body guards.  I got home and didn't get to sleep till after 3am.  I was up at 6am...thinking geeze this going to be a long day.  And then I got to work and I was sent right home.   

Then of course the whole Walmart thing happened...thank god that had a happy ending.  I felt so bad that I had to bother my friend to come and get me on a day like today.  I will really have to do something nice to repay her.  Like buy her a pretty potted flowers and leave them on her door step.  If my keys weren't found I was going to be charged $60 for various things from the apartment complex for a new set.  But I had decided not to take my usual route and not rant and rave about it.  And I just thought after everything that happened this week with the bombings and the incident in Texas and the flooding here...I could have it much worse than a stupid $60 charge for keys.  And then a little while later my keys were found.  I like to think that God was rewarding me trying to act differently than I usually do.

Well that's it for me...see you guys later. 

Hi friends,

Lots of stuff going on today for all of you! My life is so calm and boring, but it's my boring and I LOVE it! Actually it's not boring, but it's not day to day excitement which is fine with me. I rarely am bored because I can always read and "visit" some other place or life. I spent several hours knitting at the Wool Gathering with a friend. It was nice to spend time there. She gave me a bunch of beads I'm planning on using for a shawl. Cool! Also had a quick visit with an old friend I hadn't seen for a while.

This is the one year of my coming home from the nursing home. I texted my Occ therapist and got a lovely message from her. We will try to go out to dinner to celebrate. Fun.

So much in the news--so sad, so many tragedies. Take care of yourself, each one of you!
