Still waiting for Mr. Sun to arrive on that Greyhound bus that Art put him on. Perhaps there was a major highway accident that has delayed his arrival.

But so far, he's a no-show.

And I really could use his company right now.

It's not raining.......yet.....but it's sure dreary and gray out there.

Well, yesterday at work was fine. I got some more filing done and so other little odds and ends taken care of. Mostly my tracking which needs to be updated once in a while.

I didn't hear from Bossy Man until LATE in the day and then he started sending me files of things to do.

Got it all done before I had to leave and now I see that he is sending me all those reports he has been threatening me with!! LOL

That's fine. If it means he can finally take those days off, all the better!!!

I was a bit bored yesterday morning so I took off for an hour and did some birthday shopping for Jenner. I had printed out her wedding registration, saw what she did NOT get, and bought a few things for her.

She called me to ask me directions to the Social Security office in town and having told her that, asked her if she could stop by my office and pick up her birthday present.

So, right after I got off the phone, I had to hurry up and wrap everything up!!!!

She arrived. Opened her presents, declared to be very happy with them and then we gabbed for a bit.

She is going to the baby shower, too, tomorrow night. I asked her if it was okay if Dave went and she said it was, as long as we didn't "make out" in front of her.

I said we wouldn't.

Dave told me he would not go to the baby shower if Jenner was there because he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, so now I have to tell him that he CAN go. I had told Sam the situation and she said that, frankly, she would rather have Dave there than Jenner since Dave is more fun.

I have to agree with that assessment, but I really do want to see my daughter, too.

So, it's all good.

Now I just have to tell Dave that he can go. I don't know if he will want to right now since he is a bit ticked at me. I told him the other day that I was going out with my friend, Paul, for dinner and bowling and Dave was LESS than excited about it. He finally told me that I have to make decisions in life, some that can affect other people and that we have to live with them.

I KNOW exactly what he is saying. and I will not be intimidated by that. I refuse to.

Then he said something that really struck me. It was something that I said yesterday in my diary and it really has made me think. He was the one to say that when I go out with Paul, I can be myself and not have to put on a show for anyone. I can say what I want. I can do what I want. I can be crazy and goofy and not feel like I am being judged. And I really missed that.

Anyway, so back to Dave. He is kinda ticked at me because he is insecure in our relationship still and feels that anyone can come along and "steal" me.

Whatever.

I cannot be "stolen" if I don't want to be. So he has nothing to worry about.

anyway, so he had some appointments out of town yesterday, into the early evening. Since he knew I was going to be out, I knew he would not come home and stop at the casino instead and spend some time there.

And sure enough, when I got home last night, Dave was still not there. I got home at 9:30.

So, anyway, I picked up Paul at Tykes' house. Visited with Tyke and Shirley for a bit while Paul was taking care of someone's computer issue over the phone.

Then we headed to the bowling alley. They have a nice restaurant there, so we ate there and then bowled to our hearts' content. I beat the man two games out of three.

Then I drove him back to Tyke's and then went home.

I spent some time last night putting pictures onto my Facebook of the wedding and also the Lunkers game we went to last week.

(Look me up on Facebook and request my friendship!!! Paula Straka)

then I went to bed. and I slept SOOOO good. A little exercise goes a long way!!

Okay, bowling isn't HUGE exercise, but it's still moving a little, right?? Better than sitting on a barstool all night!!!!

It was a fun evening. And something I haven't done with Paul in a long time.

He has all sorts of ideas for what he wants his business to get into. I admit that some of his ideas are great and some sound kinda out there.

But as long as he gives me work to do and pays me, I am cool with that!!!

Got up this morning, hoping to get a text from Dave to come over for coffee but he must be sleeping in.

Or ignoring me.

Either way is a possibility.

tonight I have NO plans. so, I am going to get my food stuff from Wally World for Friday's dinner. I already have the ingredients for tomorrow night's dish to share, but now I have to get something for Friday.

And tonight is the only time I have.

Geez!!! It's hard to have friends who like to do stuff all the time!!!!

LOL

Okay. Got lots of files coming in so I better get to them.

<< welcome >>
