Uuugh. This picture is how I feel right now. My boss' mother passed away last Friday so we are all trying to get back into the swing of things. It has been a long, crazy month.

So....I went to visit my ONLY female friend (who lives in Houston) over the weekend. She bought a new house and I was helping her get settled. (We met at the place I worked while in Houston) She took me out with a bunch of old colleagues to a club. I hadn't been to a club in 12 years. It was nice to see so many of my old aquaintances. We had a blast and I got really drunk. Ended up going to a lesbian club afterwards with the guy that took my old job, and a couple of other guys. LOL. Never done that before. I had an absolute blast at both clubs and I don't remember a time in my life where someone tried sooooo hard to get me to go home with him. I had to take a shower when I got back to the house because I smelled like this guy's cologne. Eeew...I smelled like a man that wasn't mine. On the way home, my friend said she was getting worried about me with those guys...LOL! She's just a few years younger than my own mother and somewhat protective.

I've got a date (with the guy that replaced me) at the Gaylord in Maryland in May when we go for our annual conference. They co-sponsor an after party and he said that they need to add some life to the party. He made me promise I'd go with him. I gotta admit that it was a whole lotta fun acting like a single girl for a night. But, I wanted to go home and take advantage of my husband after I left those clubs!!! I got pregnant right after I turned 21 so I never really had the chance to do these things. I'm sure it's a lot more fun to do these things when you are married, though. I can't imagine my behaving like I did if I didn't already have Prince Charming waiting for me at home. I'd be too worried about tyring to get someone instead of just trying to have a good time.

After the Houston visit, I went to San Antonio to see a client. That was three days of 14 hour work days. I am so tired. I drove back from San Antonio last night. My boss knew I was working like a crazy woman, and had a 4 hour drive home, and he still made me stop in Austin on the way home to have a retarded meeting with him. I didn't get back until 10:00 last night because of it. That was mean. I think I am going to take the rest of the day off, though. I was away from home for 7 days. Way too long.

This was the first time I was away from my family for fun. It really did a lot of good, I think. And I love that my husband is so confident of his standing in my life as to not get upset about me going out. My telling him that some other guy tried really hard to get me to go home with him really did something positive to him--and to me. LOL. I missed him sooo much.

Tomorrow we are going to the gym and I am going to spend an entire hour on the treadmill. Sunday I have personal training. I am going to start running in the mornings again on Monday. I always have a better day if I strat it our with a pre-dawn run. Especially along the golf course...too pretty.
