Rain Rain...GO AWAY!!!

Yes, my friends, I have picked the worst time to go on vacation. I decided at the last minute to move my vacation up one week. Why, you might ask. Well, Fall is hitting our store this week and windows change on the first...So next week I will be busier than the pope at confessionals during "pride week". That was a bit much wasn't it?!? Anyway. Next week I will be really busy so I moved my vacation to this week. Well, as you can imagine...It sucks! I so wanted to get some sun do some shopping. The whole nine yards. This isn't happening with all this rain we have been having. When it rains like this I have the need to make sure my sofa isn't too lonely. It has held me prisoner. I am going to break free tomorrow. Rest is good but I have lots I want to do. And laying on the sofa all day isn't making it happen. Does anyone have any words to get me motivated? I sure could use them. Take care you guys and I think tomorrow if the rain doesn't stop we need to get together and do an Indian dance to get the rain to go away! Have a great day!

VACATION!

Well, my vacation, MY VACATION! I had all these great plans for this week. I was going to get the house put together, do some shopping, lay by the pool to get some much needed sun. None of this has happened. I realize that its only Tuesday, but IM a planner, to a fault. I had this idea of waking up early (9 am) and getting some work around the house done...Eating lunch...Laying by the pool. Just a bit of R&R. Those plans have gone by the wayside. It is raining cats and dogs and will be for the next two days. I don't do well with rain. It makes me incredibly lazy and all I do is watch TV. I know vacations are supposed to be about relaxing so I guess watching TV all day long isn't the worst thing...But it makes me feel like a slug. So today I scheduled a massage. Mainly to get out of the house. Boy was it a pleasant surprise. I normally goto a spa for this and do the whole "spa experience". This time however I went to a guy here in town for it. NO! It wasn't that kind of place. No sex was had not even a "rise in my Levis" so to speak. All though it would have been nice...He was really cute! It was wonderful though. I have always gone to women for this and it was nice to have a mans touch. I guess we understand or bodies better. He really concentrated on my target areas and gave the whole body attention. It was great. Of course afterwards I was really feeling relaxed and even more lazy. That's ok though. I have tomorrow to do things around here. It is going to rain all day and I just hope that The couch doesn't suck me in again! So, Until next time...

Just Another Day...

Well, today was a Hot day here in Houston. The heat index was a sticky 103 degrees. IM sorry...But that's too damn hot! I look forward to the crisp morning air that comes with the fall season. It will be a nice change from this heat. Well, enough about that.

I went to my nephew, Brady's, birthday tonight. It was a good time. He had a "cars" theme and was excited to get the rugby and watch I had bought him from the Disney store. The whole party was cute actually. My family was there and some close friends. Good time.
I did get a pleasant surprise however. My cousin brought a friend with him that was really attractive. Nice eyes. Great smile. The works. There was a lot about him that normally I wouldn't find attractive, but for some reason He was "all that and a bag of chips" I could just be horny...Not completely sure which! We made lots of eye contact and smiled at each other often. Of course with the whole family there and it being a kids party, nothing came of our meeting but at least it was a nice flirtation.
So, all in all, a good day. If this heat would go away I could work on my tan. Even by the pool its too damn hot!!! So, until next time...

MY JOB

Well let me tell you guys something first. I love my job. I feel almost like it's something I was made to do. Yes, I have many talents but doing what I do is very relaxing for me. The fast pace. Changing things. Creating. Watching numbers and sales. Its fun for me. But for the last week...I have been bored to tears. We are in the middle of a season change. Its like the calm before the storm right now. I cant take it. Today, I watched, literally watched, the clock turn from 3:25 to 3:32. Now, IM not sure about the rest of you guys, but I am used to going a million miles an hour and to sit there...Well, it will cause you to drink. I actually contemplated resetting a wall full of old stuff to just have something to do...Can you relate AJ? Well I got word today that Fall will hit tomorrow and I am very excited. What a great time for a heatwave. I now have the challenge of making merino sweaters and turtleneck look like something John Q. Public needs and/ wants. How fun. It will be interesting to see if I can get all of this done in a day. Because yours truly is taking a week off from work and I cant tell you how happy I am about that! To get away. Lay by the pool. Drinking cape cods. I am very excited. Now when I watch the clock it will be to let me know when to turn over. Have a great rest of your week everyone and take care. I got some work to do!!! Until next time...

It's Time To Blow Out The Candles!

OK...Its almost the end of July. That's the time this "spring chicken" becomes a rooster. Cocka-doodle-doo!!! Yes, its time for my birthday. July 30th. I have to tell you, IM kinda lookin forward to it. Well, as much as I can. I have been in a bit of a funk lately and I see the silver lining. Yippee! I am not sure what happened, all I know is things are looking brighter. Sleep could have a factor. I finally got some. Not to mention I haven't really had any "me" time and that's always important, for me at least. To do some devotion and meditation; makes me a balanced person. I was doing some reflecting last night...Scary I know...But I actually have it pretty good. Yes, IM not where I thought I would be at this age. SO WHAT!!! I have a great deal to be thankful for. I have a job I enjoy. I have my health. Great friends. Place to live. Odds and ends that are necessary for day to day stuff. So, Its all good! Life is good. My biggest problem is that I am way to hard on myself. Critical is a better choice of words. I should remind myself more often that I do not have to have it all figured out! Getting the answers to life's questions is what living life is all about. So for now on its a day at a time. I will not get upset that IM turning another year older. I will embrace all the aspects of life, even the ones IM not real happy with. I will be grateful for all things...Even being single (no laughter please). Its a new year! Yes...Its my turn!
