I had a really groovy weekend

 

July 18, 1999

I had a really groovy weekend ... and made a photo album of the pictures I took this weekend ... to check it out ... click on the link at the top of this journal entry ... Well friends of mine & Kris' from Kansas ... who live in LA now were out here for the weekend ... but they were too tired Friday night and Kris and I didn't really feel like going out ... instead she and I wound up going to Wal-Mart at like 10:30 at night ... as we were walking around we both just started cracking up ... and I said "man what kind of losers are we ... out shopping at Wal-Mart at 11 on a Friday night ... man we need help!" ... but we were both cracking up so badly ... and I did find a really bitchen black purse for like 10 bucks ... that is big enough to hold my digital camera ... so Saturday night when we went out ... I brought my camera and took a bunch of pictures ... some of which are in my new photo album addition ... so Saturday night ... Jason M., Jason T., Kris and I went out ... we first went to MGM Grand ... to Fat Tuesdays for daiquiris ... that were so good ... and we wound up getting seats there (which isn't easy to do since there are only a couple) and hung out there for a while ... talked with our bartender Justin and took a bunch of pictures ... then we all headed over to the shopping area so I could finally get the I Love Lucy t-shirt I have wanted ... I was so excited ... and it is such a cute t-shirt ... I also go a book of I Love Lucy postcards that I am going to frame and hang in the kitchen of my new place when I do finally move ... well after MGM Grand we headed over to New York, New York ... we were going to go to the piano bar there ... but there was a line ... and Jason M. and Jason T. really wanted to go to a gay bar ... and although I felt bad I had to put my foot down ... I really just didn't want to go ... Kris is married, Jason and Jason have each other ... and I am single and now they want me to go to a place ... pay to get in ... and hang out with even more men I have no chance of dating ... hahahahahaa I told them it wasn't going to happen ... if I am going out I want to at least be able to check guys out that I have a chance with cause they are heterosexual ... hahaha they were all laughing at me but I was being totally serious ... well the Jasons wound up going back to their hotel and Kris and I went to boomerangs for a while ... it was kind of dead ... so we went out back to watch the guys playing volleyball ... there is this really young cutie that is friends with Kris' friend Patrick that was there last night ... I can't remember his name ... but we talked a bit ... he is total eye candy ... so it was fun watching him play volleyball ... but it eventually got late ... and Kris and I were both totally tired so we headed home ... and both totally slept in today ... which was nice ... then Jason M. and Jason T. came over ... we went out and got good sandwich makings for lunch at the Bagel Cafe (such good food ... damn!!) ... and brought it all home ... all of us ... made lunch ... hung out ... watched a movie and ate ... it was fun ... I really loved seeing Jason M. and Jason T. ... after lunch everyone took a nap while I went and worked on the photos from the night before ... so everyone could see them when they woke up ... which they all loved ... before Jason M. and Jason T. took off for LA we all went out for coffee and one last smoke ... and then said our good-byes ... then Kris and Chevy and I went to Wal-Mart ... it was an overall great weekend ... a nice break from working so hard ... especially when I am going to work as much as possible next week ... since the temp agency hasn't called me yet ... wow I just checked to see when the last time I wrote in my journal was ... and it was way too long ago ... I didn't realize how long I had been neglecting it ... so lets see ... what all has been going on ... Thursday I had my gyno appointment and I didn't really like the doctor that much ... he put me on the pill again to take away what he said "appeared to be all the symptoms of endometriosis ... but you don't have it ... we will just put you on the pill and you will feel better" ... so I have decided I am going to find a woman doctor ... I don't know why I haven't before ... but a man really couldn't have any idea what bad cramps are like ... I don't even think a man could handle the excruciating pain of cramps ... many times I think "I am supposed to be able to function feeling like this" ... but I just hate being on the pill ... for many reasons ... number one I hate spending $30 dollars a month on birth control when I am not even having sex ... second I now have to take a pill every night that reminds me I am not having sex ... hahahaa ... and third ... I just hate taking something that so alters my body chemistry and what is happening with it ... but I will try it for a bit while I look for a female doctor and see what happens ... on Friday I just couldn't take how my hair looked anymore ... so I went to Supercuts ... and had her just chop it to right below my shoulders ... it took out most of the layers ... and looks sooooooo much better ... I was so glad I did it ... in fact I am thinking of going back in a week or two and having her cut it to my shoulders ... I miss the really long hair ... but I am liking how it looks ... it is so much better than it was ... thank goodness ... it totally changed my attitude ... although I have been becoming unhappy with my appearance ... I have been doing twice as much physical activity here than I was back in Cali ... but I am just feeling kinda blah ... I know I could look so much better ... I have done the tae-bo workout a couple of times and really loved it ... but I haven't been very good lately about doing it ... I know that that needs to change ... so I am really going to push myself to do it on a regular basis ... I know it will make me feel so much better ... and I know how much I need it ... its too bad Kris has to be at work so early ... cause we were good about doing it together ... but for us to do it together I would need to be up at 4:30 am ... and that is just too early ... maybe when I get a real job I will be getting up that early ... but right now ... noooo way ... so I feel all caught up now ... thank goodness ... and I now I just look forward to a week of getting one step closer to financial independence ... {smile}
