Just Another Day

Yesterday was a slow Friday. It wasn't filled with much work, but more downtime than anything. Now you have to understand down time in my world is still working, just not work that gets people the poker face when they step into my office space.

I stepped out to lunch with co-workers for an hour and headed to the mall so that I could use my VC gift card. I obviously had forgotten how much the stuff cost in there....I went in with my gift card only and walked out with that only.....I would've needed an additional $25 to get what I really wanted. I suddenly remembered when I was a regular how I would go in there armed and dangerous. I also remembered how I wondered where all my mulah was going, stopped visiting Vicki, and I no longer wondered.

I had big plans for Friday night, but ended up doing nothing. I laid down to take a nap before calling "Clair" to party but when I woke, it was after 10:00pm. I said forgetaboutit and went on ahead and called it a night. I had gym dates anyway so I wanted to be sure I was bright eyed and busy tailed.

The workout was great this morning, I ran my 3 miles, with walking after 2 for about 30 seconds, then did my 20 on the elliptical machine. Then it's off to the free weights and to work on my J on the court while they guys aren't running full court. I ran into a girfriends homegirl in there who was telling me all about hand dance and stepping classes. Now I know how to Step, my daddy taught me when I was little and i've been holding it down every since. Hand dancing however, I knew nothing about prior to moving here. I need to master it though, there's not to many dances I can't do and I don't want this one to be on the list. She told me to go to Martini's tonight for some steppin.... I hear that's an old head spot so I just may ride that way.

For those wondering, I did not call the guy, as I stated before, i'm not a caller. I'm sure he's not missing my voice or anything so I don't think twice about it. I did however hear from a old friend regarding sleeping over my place. As he put it, he was just tired and didn't want to fall asleep on the road. I, unfortunately for him, wasn't home at the time he called, but I found it interesting because he only lives in VA. Hmmmm....maybe he had already been driving all night? Who knows, guess I never will.

That's it for me for now....

Enjoy your day!

1-2-3

Yesterday, I finally hit my 3 mile mark on the treadmill.....it felt great! It also made me wonder why it took me so long to reach that mark, it wasn't that difficult. Especially when certain songs come on my iPod to make me stick it out. I worked out with "Jill" yesterday which made the time fly by.....I even got to see her in her true girlfriend form.

Last night my best guy friend came over. "Swell" has been knowing me forever, since I was 13 to be exact, wearing banana clips and cone ponytail holders. He's the whole reason i'm in this area from Michigan. He left and moved to Jersey, now he's back and it's like he never left. Nobody man knows me like this man, just like no chick knows me like my best girlfriends. It's amazing how real friendship picks up where it left off and doesn't skip a beat no matter how long you loose touch. I also realized that he's a walking encyclopedia, there's nothing I can't ask him.

This morning on my way back from the metro station, a guy two lanes over decides he wants to talk to me, he was an older man, but his car caught my eye. I think he may have thought I was staring at him, but I wasn't, I was staring at the car. I was embarrassed I had been staring and felt obligated to give him my number when he asked. No sooner than I got the last number out, which I held up by fingers, the light turned green for me to turn then he called (i'm sure that was to make sure I didn't give him a fake number). We talked for 30 seconds as he explained he was heading home for the long weekend. He also said he wanted to take me to lunch when he got back. I replied by letting him know maybe on a weekend we could. I felt like this would go nowhere, especially because i'm not a "caller", when I meet someone new, I tend to not call. So after I told him we could try to get together on a weekend, he said that sounded good to him, then he asked me to call him tomorrow because he needed someone to talk to.......

I didn't know how to take that. I laughed initially, but I was wondering if he was overstating that fact that he isn't involved with anyone or if he was saying subliminally that he is needy. Whatever the case, I just agreed and told him to have a safe trip.

Today starts the long weekend, my goal is to blog everyday but sometimes on the weekends i'm a slacker. Today is also a beautiful day......please enjoy it.

Entry 1

Today, I have decided to start a blog. This is something i've been wanting to do for a while and have attempted it may times on MySpace and other websites. I figured it was time for me to be about it and stop talking about it. I find myself so busy with school and work, being on the Internet for personal gain doesn't happen as often as i'd like it to. When I turned 31, I said I would keep a diary of the following 364 days. I have been able to jot down notes, but no diary. This here blog will serve as my diary. Though I will not share all information, I will surely be very honest and open with what I do share. My goal is to include this in my daily routine.

Today has been a good day so far, yesterday my boss announced she was coming off the contract we currently work on. When she asked if anyone had questions, nobody said anything, but immediately afterwards they were running up to me asking what was going to happen to me. My reply should have been, why didn't you ask when she asked if anybody has any questions but instead I just replied "I go where she goes, i'm her assistant". I have mixed feeling about leaving the contract i'm currently on, but look forward to the changes.

I know this entry isn't that deep but that's it for today........stay tuned for more
