Winter Break...

Jan 06, 2009 15:49

Well I enjoyed my week off from work very much.
On the 31st of December I enjoy my new years with my mate at a CAKE concert. I was looking forward to this for a while but was surprised when the audience wasn't into it. My first CAKE concert was insane everyone know the words and the crowd was so loud a felt like I was at nationals for cheerleading. This time not so much. I thought it was funny I final feel like a fan and knew the words yet the rest of the audience was a bust. but it was fun dressing up.



I spent the next few days at PK enjoying his big screen and finally finishing lost season three... looking forward to lost seasons 4 since I haven't really had the time to watch it live last year. I'm a DVD tv junkie. why try to watch something live when you could spend a weekend cramming it all into one?

I also got to have lunch with a very old friend. After much error about time, etc I met up with Bret in madison, with PK. It was so nice to see him, catch up on little to nothing and wait for the rest of the party to arrive. DOn't get me wrong I love Bret like family but the boys seemed mello aka hungover.
The next to arrive was Misery and her new boyfriend Steve. Misery is my best friend and my adopted sister so of course I felt the need to invite my mother. This was an interesting move since Brett also has not met my mother. Sure I talk from time to time about her like she a crazy dragon lady but if you met her and cross her path, or kept her from dinner... seriously fire explodeds from her eyes.

All and all the lunch at perkins went well. Steven was charming and funny yet smart to not say to much. Brett looked like he was either really full or about ready to pass out. As for my mom... for once she seemed like a perfectly laid bad cool mom. Which I enjoy very much, cause normally I'm turning five colors of red by the end of the evening.

After lunch PK and I went shopping, and I must say he gets super sexy boyfriend of the year award. I enjoyed going shopping with him. He wasn't rushing me, Instead Phauxe was helping me, and mostly carrying my stuff so my paws were free. After shopping we went to Maureen and Ralph's house to be greeted by the two little beast. It's funny since I was on the east side of town just by the theater, but my Mom Maureen called and asked us to come and pick her up. Why? I love my mom dearly... and yes I was told to respect my elders... but she wanted us to drive over to her house to pick her up, drive her car... which is like a boat, just so I could drop her off in front of the building. I know she has a fear of falling since she had a terrible fall when I was a child.. but seriously I feel she just is lazy.

I'm a bit over weight myself, and yes I hate walking in the cold too, but seriously I feel by picking her up and driving her to the door I am disabling her further. I love my step-father, and am thankful my mom has someone to share her life with in her old age, but I notice since there marriage she has just gotten worst. I do want to add I know he trying to get her to do new thing but I know my mom.. she doesn't bike, or swim, or walk very far... She very private and takes her weight personally... like alot of people do.. I used to get her to go shopping with me. I know that sounds pointless but for her even walking around a walmart is good. Maureen will not go to malls, and refuses group actives in fear people judge her. I want to help but I know it's her choice. I think she could use some encouragement... but I live in whilewater. I work, and I need to focus on my issues too. I just wish there was a way to support her, and do it together but she a LEO and stuck in her ways. Sad bunny... I lose my mom to early death and that scared me.

Anyways we went and saw Benjamin Button. It was interesting. Then we exchanged Christmas gifts, and I felt bad not staying longer yet I was late for our later actives. WHich was Leather and Lace at inferno. It was Misery and Steve, and PK and I, but it was fun. I felt too goody goody in a corset and jeans and a cute sweater... Misery looked pretty hot... she found a nice minnie skirt,and this zipper corset thing.. but I look forward to trying it again next month. Oddly we ran into some furs. I chatted to one.. was pretty giddy and forgotten there names but all and all great evening. PK was very loving.. And a wonderful DD. Phauxe surprised me most by his willingness to dance.

Anyways I been home for a day for once... I was suppost to spend time in madison but sometime just catching up by myself with my chores is enough for me. PK coming over later. I need to go get dinner from Tokyo.

As for new years resolutions I think Tug advice fit best...
I'm going to do what makes me happy.... which is:
1. Getting good grades
2. Getting out more
3. Keeping in touch
4. Maintaining and developing my mind and body.
5. Finding new things that make me happy... I need to try more in life... instead of being scared of it..

It's interesting because I always thought 2008 would be my year.. I remember graduating in high school thinking my life would finally start in 2008... I would be done with college and hopefully on my way to making a difference in the world... I figure I was probable be looking forward to marriage and kids....
LMAO... I really think I am making a difference in the world... and college is coming along... I been working on my career all along.. and as for the rest of it... I'm 24.. there time for all that when the time is right.. my two year rule, and plans of what I thought life should be seems so wrong. Life is not for plans and rules only... sure I need structure, and balance... but right now I'm happy just being me.

The icing on the cake was my mom the other day on the phone... she told me she really was proud of me this last year. Going back to school, getting a better job, living on my own, going on adventures to new places. Then she told me she loved me.. My mom not one for lots of postive words... so that really was a wonderful gife.
Lots of love Icey
