I had a good weekend. Friday night, after work, Marisela and I went to the gym and I did a solid hour on the elliptical (I did a half hour at lunch) and then some ab work. Then, I went home and ate sushi and watched Blood Diamond. I didn't want to go out Friday night because I had to be at work Saturday.
Saturday, I worked from 8-3. Saturday night, I went to a party with my friend, Sara, and her fiance, Kris. They're trying to set me up with one of Kris's friends who was at the party. He's a pretty cool guy. Tall, cute, likes the outdoors, just graduated college, has lots of friends. I found his personality a little bland, though. I drank too much and when I get to a certain point, I get really quiet because I am containing myself from what I will say and do. Otherwise, I would be totally crazy. So, he told Kris and Sara that he liked me but I was really quiet. :P So, they want me to go to another party with them where he will be in a couple of weeks. I'd better drink less so I'll be more talkative. If I go. I've been talking to this other guy who is pretty cool. I'm not really in the mood to date just now, though. I am really focusing on working on and getting in shape and started to move my life in the direction I had been wanting to before I got together with TJ. I never again will give myself up so much for a relationship.
Sunday, I went to church at Inner Light and it was great as usual. The minister there is the only one I have ever heard that can hold my attention the entire talk. After church, my mom and I went to lunch, then walked around downtown Santa Cruz, then went and saw Blades of Glory (with Will Farrell and Jon Heder). It was really funny. Sunday night, we watched The Last King of Scotland.
My mom supports a local politician- Emily Reilly, Mayor of Santa Cruz. I've met her a couple times and she's a really great, powerful woman. I usually have issues with women in power because (for some reason) I don't think they should be. I don't know where that comes from. I really like Emily Reilly, though. She's up for re-election and my mom is working on her campaign and asked if I wanted to be involved. So, I'm going to go help them with the mailers on Saturday and see what areas they need volunteers in and start volunteering with them. Emily Reilly is a politician I would very willingly give my time to.
Um, yeah... I gained a pound at the weigh in today. It's either muscle, the fact that I was weighing heavier pants than usual, or the drinking Saturday night. *scowl*. I'm not too worried about it because I still feel smaller and my clothes are still fitting looser. So, I'm not worried about it. I'm still going to keep on what I'm doing.
I'm finally sleeping without sleeping pills every night. I still dream about TJ every night and I'm not sure why. At least my dreams are getting more about him pissing me off than us being together.
16.5 days until Cabo!!
