One month later

Oh, hello. You're still here? I know, I've been a slacker and have not updated for almost a month. But only because I've been busy doing fun things!



I went to Florida twice - once for Mom's birthday and once for a beach weekend with friends. Mom's birthday was on the 27th and I rode down with my older bro to visit with her and to catch some much needed rays on the beach. I was also able to swing by and visit with my dad's parents on the way back to Atlanta. I really should email / call them more often; they are such cool cats and we had a blast and did not want to leave. Their house is like a vacuum. You feel safe and loved and well-fed when you are there and time just seems to slow down. But Time is a bitch and doesn't stop for anybody, so we eventually had to say our goodbyes and head home.

The second visit was on Mother's Day weekend, though I didn't get a chance to hang out with mom. I made it up to her, though, with really great seats at an Eagles concert in Alpharetta the following weekend.

Jessica's friend Rebecca had rented a beach house in South Walton and we all shared the expenses. It was a lot of fun, but it was one of those experiences that I do not wish to repeat. Rebecca is a very selfish person who wants to be the constant center of attention and I do not plan to hang out with her ever again. I hate to sound harsh, but I do not have time in my life for people of her toxicity. And that's that. I will, however, be hanging out with Jessica as much as possible in the future because she is such a strong, beautiful, non-judgmental person and I think I am a little bit in love with her. I also found out that she rides a bike similar to mine, so we can start going on rides together. Someday. When we aren't so busy.

Mom arrived on Wednesday and we went to our concert on Wednesday night. She stayed the weekend and we did a lot of nothing which is just how I like it! Saturday we walked around a local arts festival for about twenty minutes until we got too hot and tired and wanted to leave. Then we went home and watched Juno and I have to say, it is a really great movie and you should go watch it right now if you haven't yet.

Sunday, I did not feel so good because of a newcomer in my life named Allergies. I hate you, Allergies, and think you should take a long walk off a short pier. I was miserable until I took some drugs and then I ended up feeling loopy and had to go lay down. I woke up with two cats fighting over the spot in bed next to me, so I got up and tried to do chores while waiting for mom to call saying she got home safely. Sunday night was dinner with dad and my stepmother. A weird experience that becomes even more so when you are souped up on antihistamines.

Here is a funny picture I took just for you!



Lesson: Do not leave your car parked in Home Depot's parking lot for very long, or they might prepare it for shipping!
