I know I haven't been around for a while, but the summer was busy and hot like hell. It was so great! we really got to enjoy the new pool and the kids didn't get on my nerves that much :) which is a very good thing!
So back to school went well, sort of uneventful now that the kids are grown :( but growing up has its pros and cons i guess.
I did have my girls nite out on saturday night. WOW! we had such a blast, we went to a club downtown, something we havent done is years lol, like i mean a lot of years, like 10 maybe. Sad but true, time flies, I think we should do it more often, we had so much fun, but the next morning my feet, legs, thighs, and ass were killing me. But i'm all healed again and ready for another night dancing my ass off lol.
So let me talk a bit about my pet peeve about the girls nite out. lots of venting to come, so feel free to ignore me lol. so i send out the email way in advance as usual, and a few people respond, and most don't. Like i don't get it? how hard is it for people to decide on going or not? r we like 16 when we would wait to find out who is going with us? or whose going to be there, to make a decision on if we r going ? it seems people have a hard time committing to anything, and an equally hard time saying no. I spoke to a few friends about the gno and they were supposed to join the rest of us, but up until it was time to leave, i didn't hear from them, so i was pissed. Anyway , the next day i heard from this friend , and totally let her have it, i mean if u don't want to come just say so , but this not responding business is bebe lala stuff . and if its gonna continue, i just wont invite u anymore, she said, i know sorry, i was wiped ! Wiped! i responded, we r all wiped! its the story of all our lives but we make an effort once a month to get together with friends and have a good time!
anyway bottom line is, i wont allow that to put a damper on my night, we had such a blast!
I too had a very hot summer. It was pretty boring, I spent most of it alone in the backyard with my kids. I still enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteBack to school was excellent! The kids were happy and so was I. The new transportation system is a little hard to get the hang of but I'm sure after a couple of weeks, we will feel like we've been at it for years.
As for your girl's night out thing, I'm one of those people who has a problem saying no. I don't say no to anyone. I usually say yes but sometimes (lately) I force out a no. I don't like to disappoint people and will do things to please them even if it means displeasing myself. I'm working on it though. All part of this putting myself first thing I'm trying. It's hard but I'm getting better at it. I promise though if you send me an invitation to GNO, I will respond as soon as I see it!!! LOL You inspire me!!!!
