Had a lot on my mind lately so I'm trying to clear some of that stuff out.

CH3-CH2-OH Absolutely.

What's that?

Sprint_DA - 2008-07-30 5:20 PM And how is evening TAN tonight?

Well.. I totally fell in love with a Sofa/Love Seat that was in a Home Depot add for Window Treatments.. I can't find them for sale ANYWHERE

I also need to decide if I'm going to leave the kitchen cabinets a natural maple or if I want them refinished to a different color.. I also need to consult an architecht on how the heck we are going to redo the bathroom and IF we can use cork tiles on the stairs...

Sucks that you can't find your furniture. I'd stick with natural wood colors, but that's just me.  I can redo your bathroom with a chainsaw and some duct tape, if it would help, and I have no idea how to put cork tiles on stairs, so I guess I'm no help there either.

I'm pretty sure it's ethanol.

Hmm. Meditation? Massage? Borrow a friend's sports car and go for a HARD drive for an hour or so.

Silly. How are you?

I'm about normal tonight. Just trying to get mentally ready for the race on Saturday. Had a lot on my mind lately so I'm trying to clear some of that stuff out.

Well you certainly have the training down. Are you planning on spending the night in DeWitt or is it close enough for you to drive over in the morning?

Yep, that's what Google just spat out as well.  Wouldn't help me a bit.  If I started drinking I would think about things more and toast my muscles.  That's not the goal.

DeWitt's only about 25 miles away.  I'll be staying here.

It looked like this.. but it had straight lines not curved lines and the legs were square.. not round.. but i like the crisscross base and the 'clean look' with minimal upholstry..

I like that.

You've not been mean to me at all.

That's nice.  Hotels seem to cost as much as the entry fee's nowadays.  Plus it's nice to sleep in your own bed.

Lately it seems like motels are twice the entry fee.

I can empathize on most of these categories.  Especially 3 & 4.  Well for 1 & 2 I put them together since I'm getting somewhat disillusioned with research/academia, but consulting has terrible hours, blah, blah.  But I'll stop now, don't want to hijack.

XOXOXOXOXO

Finances.. Need help?? I have good websites and can give you good book suggestions from the library..

Job... I didn't know there was anything wrong there... Is it time to consider a career change?

Relationships.. Eh, NO relationship is worth putting up with that kind of BS..

Friends in the area.. Track club?????

Finances are more of a "once I get the car and the bike sold and my fiscal year end commission check in things will look a lot better." Like I should cut my credit card debt in half and then without the payments from the other stuff, the last of it should clear up before my next fiscal year end commission check.  It's just being broke until that stuff happens.

The job is just frustrating from time to time.  If I could figure out what I really wanted to do things would be better because then at least I would have some direction.

Relationship thoughts are actually more along the lines of trying to figure out what to do with the new girl I started talking to about two weeks ago.  Trying to meet her and it's hard to explain things like I can't go out Friday because I have a race on Saturday,and I can't go out Saturday because I'll be lucky to be vertical after the race.  And I'd just figured she'd want to meet and talk a little bit to see if we actually have anything in common, but she apparently wants to do something.  And then in the back of my mind there is that other small matter.

And friends I just wish that the people I know would be more accepting of other people's lifestyle choices and not uses phrases like "Well they aren't THOSE kinds of people." When describing things that I've done, that they don't know I've done.

Sharkie - 2008-07-30 7:54 PM I do admit that making friends was REALLY hard for me outside of the bar scene and I'm still not great at it.. Friendships take time to develop and they will come in time.. Have you thought about hosting a BBQ or somekind of gathering?

I've tried the BBQ thing before, thinking about doing it again on Friday and inviting pretty much everyone I know here in the area.  Just don't know if it'd be too early to invite new girl, or a bad idea to invite K (she's coming to the race on Saturday, I'm not sure why, but I guess she wants to show some support?) or if one group of friends would show up, but not the others, or if I'm just thinking about it too much, or what.
