After having a couple cups of coffee, I still have hung over from last night drinking with friends at Freddies. But, let me not start with that… here’s the re-cap for this past weekend’s events…
Workwise my work week has been quite stressful, and again because of this whole program development that I have been working on, after a while it takes the toll on you. I’ve been working on this for the past 7 months and I’m getting to know the whole in and out of the process and because of that I’m expected to be responsible for knowing the system and to direct people how to manuever themselves in the system. Anyway, it was stressful but again my outlet to let all that out is the gym. You gotta love gym! I find gym quite useful at times like that.
My roommate went to Chicago for a business meeting last Monday and she came back yesterday. All week I’ve been working and getting off early to take the girls out. I don’t like leaving them at the house for not more than 9 hours. I love them so I sacrifice for them. I guess if you are a naturally pet-person you’d do those kinds of things. So since I was by myself, I watched several movies I’ve already seen and caught up with my favorite TV shows like CSI: Miami and Fringe. (Can’t wait to see CSI: Miami tonight!). Rich fortunately likes Miami too so he and I can relate how ridiculously cute Eric is. (Eh, what the heck! Ryan is cute, too!). Anyway, did most of that Friday night–movies after movies. It was fun actually!
Saturday I went to the gym and worked out a little bit then kind of chilled by driving around checking the various restaurants around where I live. I haven’t realized until then that there’s so many interesting places out here in Manassas. I like where I live. It’s close to everything. It has everything I need except a job.
Part of Saturday also was going to visit my friend William where he works and after that my friend and I went bowling in Woodbridge. I couldn’t believe I did 166 after haven’t gone bowling in about 10-11 months. Still did pretty good - but I noticed I still need to work on my consistency, and that is still a working progress. After that we went to the potomac mills and walked around and visited Silas. After a while I got tired from walking so I called it a day after like around 4:30ish. I went home did my laundry and cooked dinner. (Yea, I know. I’m surprised, too!).
Moving along… Sunday was really awesome. First I went to see my Mom in Arlington where she works. Every now and then, if not every Sunday, I pay my mom a surprise visit at her job. The majority of time, however, she is busy. But, all I wanted is to be able to see her and talk to her for a little bit. Anyway, she was very happy to see me (and vice versa) and we talked a little bit - but then she got busy and I had to leave. On the way home, so that I can get to pick up my roommate and her mom at Dulles airport, I saw Rich biking around Shirlington/Arlington area. Kind of funny to see him out on the road - but what amazes me the most is the fact that he makes time to be active and do what he enjoys. For me that’s what matters! He said at some point in the future we’ll pursue one of our plans before–to go biking in the city. Can’t wait for that to happen…
So I went to Dulles airport picked them up then we went to IHOP in Centreville for lunch. We had a good time there. We all came home very tired so we took a nap and woke up all energized. So I thought I’d go to the gym do some cardio and maybe go to Freddies for drinks and the drag show. So I got ready and headed to Freddies. I was there for about an hour watching the show, then my friend William and his boyfriend, Ernesto, and a friend of theirs, Luis, came and joined me. We had a good time. I felt so bad about being disconnected from Ernesto for a little while. I apologized for not having been able to connect with them - but he understood.
I thought to myself these guys are the ones I want to keep as friends. They have the interest in making a connection as friends, stay connected, and have a good time anywhere possible. I told them I’d better in staying in touch with people. Sometimes I have the tendency of detaching from folks for a while. I love these guys and I can’t let them go.
Anyway, I had a good time with them and was happy to have met one of their close friend. In fact, he already invited me for a Christmas party on December 20th. Thank, God! I should be off work by them all the way though January 2nd. (One of the perks in working for my company is that you get to be off from like December 18th through January 2nd PAID! Woot!). So I’m looking forward to that…
So the here’s the recap: Weekend was awesome. Did minimal stuff. Had a great time with friends and in meeting people and making connections. We will try and do something this coming weekend. Not sure what Rich and I will do during the week but we have yet to talk about it. I told him that my schedule this week with my boss being in Denver, CO from today through Thursday would be a challenge to find time. Anyway, we’ll figure something out…
Have a great work week everyone! I gotta go take the dogs out to the dog park today. It is such a lovely day to stay in. Heck no! Ciao!
