What has happened over the past weeks?

How did I go from sex pot queen to homebody in the last three weeks? I haven’t been blogging much because there isn’t much exciting going on. For being a girl that likes situations for stories, I haven’t been in much of those situations therefore haven’t had much of a story.

Who have I become with my 11:00 bed time and homebody attitude? Granted, 2 weeks was being on the verge of death – but I’m recovered, bring on the damn sex!

In preparation for what I will consider the next two weeks of getting up and getting out there, I’ve decided to go for a wax. I’ve always been a shaver, but the three week hiatous has left the proper amount of out growth without anyone noticing and I was thinking, what the hell right? So on Monday I’ll make an appointment at one of the local salons and then spread ‘em for a stranger for that sex appeal.

In the meantime until then, this weekend has been ferociously packed. This morning I rolled out of bed and wandered to Walgreens to fill my $40 prescriptions then off to the grocery store to spend $60 on not-food. I couldn’t believe my total, my groceries included a box of Kellogs, a bag of carrots and two bags of lettuce. The rest of my bill was occupied with nonsense such as fabric softner, toothpaste and catfood.

When I got home it was already 11, so I headed over to my mom’s, checked email and waited for her to get home. At 12:30 we headed out and I was rather excited to show her my “grown-up” apartment. Last time she had seen my place it was to unload boxes and she briefly saw pictures when I got my futon. Now the futon has been packed and two natural colored loveseats occupy the red walls in my living room, accompanied by a grey and glass coffee table. “It looks nice.” She said. Not the reaction I had hoped for, but enough. Then we headed to a casino.

Coming off the buzz of my grown up lifestyle, the jackpots recognized my success and three hours later I walked out $100 a head and she walked out $200. Granted, our shopping errands didn’t get done, but at least we were gitty off of winning.

After dinner and a little TV I headed home around 9, popped on the TV and unpacked the additional groceries I brought home. I got all my appetizers ready for tomorrow’s birthday dinner and measured out portion controlled breakfasts and lunches for the week and opened my laptop to find, at no surprise, no internet.

I looked briefly at the pig on my coffee table and pondered how much I would have to feed him to get internet actually in my house, and then I decided that there was nothing exciting right now to blog on the weekend anyway. So I’m typing away in Word.

Tomorrow morning I need to get up early and feed R’s cat, then head to dad’s, then to my sisters, then to my grandparents and round off the day at a theater in New Berlin for 300 with a couple friends. I imagine afterwards, I’ll get home and pour myself some wine, cuddle in my bathrobe and wonder where my weekend went before not doing laundry.

Sounds like you had a lot of stuff packed into the weekend. Grocery bills suck, it's costs a lot of money to get buy with the bare minimum these days. Those walls, just too red, can't you paint the bottom half of them cream or something?
