Like a new woman…

Finally, rain has quenched the long, dry season of this summer and early fall, and I, at long last, feel like I can think clear-headed again. I knew that it wouldn’t be long once Ole Blue Eyes and I were in the same city again that something would transpire.

I don’t want to jinx myself, or let the cat out of the bag (it’s fun having a private life stay private…who knew? in this little fishbowl community), but I will say this: she’s not straight, we have so much in common I don’t even know where to start, and we have a LOT of fun together. Oh, and in addition to being eerily intelligent and very talented, she’s also h.o.t. Like, for reals. Like, for real? The trick now is not getting carried away…

I’m on 20 days No Smoking now, and I feel great! about it…I’m proud and pleasantly surprised to have gone this long, Cold Turkey, and I feel totally in control of the cravings and as much as I want a cigarette eighty six times a day, I think I’d be entirely too disappointed in myself to enjoy it if I did light one up.

I had a great day today…I woke up at 8 a.m., Ready To Go, so of course, I laid in bed until that feeling passed and slept in late, which was awesome. Finally, I got up, went and picked up OBE, scooped GoodGuy and headed to a truly delightful garden party. After watching several rounds of bocce, and gliding on an old metal glider under a beautiful tree, we departed, went and got some greasy old Cook Out and reconvened with Main Gay and Bam Bam for a couple of hours of tomfoolery in the parlor…which just so happened to involve a rousing game of Twister between Main Gay and OBE. The pictures are glorious. Then off to Wal Mart for some supplies (my hands didn’t swell like they always do! that’s good!) for this scene design homework assignment (performance art, tomorrow, 10 a.m. sharp!). After shopping and laughing at the Wal Mart Scene for a minute, we went and picked up K-Pizz, and headed off to see Little Miss Sunshine. That movie is so f’ing good, I’ll have to dedicate another post entirely to discussion of This Brilliant Film. It’s just…so perfect somehow. Me, OBE, K-Pizz and GoodGuy all enjoyed it (enjoyed it again, for half of us). Then it was midnight, and oops I’d spent all day hanging out with my friends, having a great time, instead of stressing out about this Performance Art piece I have to do tomorrow morning. It was actually quite awesome. The time frame got blown way out of proportion (I was Not intending on spending more than an hour or two socializing) but that feels okay right now…It was just too much fun.

I have really great friends. I just wanted to put that out there for The Record, once again. I have Really. Great. Friends. All of them, all over the place, they’re Truly Quality. And decidedly more attractive than average, too.

    I am SOOOO proud of you on the smoking front.
    I hope it maintains, and you are a far, far better man than I.
