10 Sleeps...

10 sleeps until TG and I are off to Holguin! I am so excited and I will admit to starting to have packed...a little...

So we are approaching the last long weekend of the summer and I must say (and I sure you'll agree) that summer went by too fast. I remember waiting for the May long weekend and now it seems like ages ago. It has been a busy summer...a good one but a very busy one.

Our A/C is broke. It sucks. The cost of repair and the time of year makes it not worth repairing/getting a new one just yet. TG and I are surviving. We are less talkative, more lethargic, and a little uncomfortable - but we are managing with a couple fans. The kitties on the other hand, are HOT. I feel terrible for them. TG take turns putting them in the freezer (yup - the freezer) but it's not cutting it anymore. Usually we let them hang out on the balcony for a bit before bed and that seems to help - despite the suicide attempts and plant eating, they are pretty good on the balcony for indoor cats. I just wish they would eat and drink more - they seem to have lost their appetite in the heat. We'll manage...



Stay cool this long weekend - have fun!

The "banker and the bride" are now officially Mr and Mrs S. after what was a beautiful weekend! The wedding was classy and the bride was stunning - every thing, every one and every detail was beautiful - I was glad to be part of it!

I was so proud of TG this past weekend - he did an excellent job getting things done as an "usher" and go to guy. He did not once complain, but rather went with what was sometimes a hectic flow. He was rewarded (in more ways then one) and I was glad he was there - all the guys did an excellent job!

This weekend we CHILL. We have a couple tentative plans in and around town but that is it.

We get to start focusing on Cuba and the good times that wait for us there! I am crossing my fingers for nice weather and that all those people who were affected by the current hurricane are now safe. I am so anxious to getaway!

After Cuba - D's wedding...wowzers, it is creeping up so fast!

PS - "That is what a B&B is for..."!!

Hola Holguin! Is This Chris Hanson?

We are BOOKED! TG and I are officially going on vacation in September - I am almost shaking I am so excited! The place looks great and I look forward to relaxing on the beach...

So TG and I are cooking dinner and playing with the kitties the other night when his cell rings - wrong number. Craig was polite when she realized that the person (girl) on the other end did not in fact call her brother and hung up - end of story? NO!

Next thing you know TG gets a text message that reads: You have a sexy voice! Are you single?

Ummm - who does that?! TG had the answer and said "not good looking ones!" (either that or a young one - like 15...)

So TG replies "no, sorry" and I am so curious as to what would have happened with a "yes"?

I feel people hide behind technology (good or bad?) - would she have said the same thing had she thought TG was her bother in a grocery store perhaps? Would she have straight up asked him if he was single if they were both reaching for the same carton of milk and he said - " no you can have it"?

While I admit TG does have a sexy voice - I think it as more of a kind voice, and one I like to listen to. I can understand that he was flattered - heck, I would be yet we both admit that it was very strange.

Also - it may have been a good thing that it was TG she sent the text to and not a murder/pedophile/drug addict/pimp. After all her only qualifications for further communication was a sexy voice and being single...

We are off camping with the family for a couple nights. I have not been camping since high school - should be interesting. While I will focus on avoiding tan lines for the strapless I am committed to next weekend, I hope to also chill out with TG's family - it'll be a mini-getaway for us!

Well - have a great weekend, don't talk to strangers! Cheers!

PS - Is this Chris Hanson with Dateline NBC?!

TG and I had an excellent long weekend! It seemed so short but looking back we did a lot of things and chilled out - it was great.

So back into the swing of things, I have a list of errands and tasks about two pages long - not fun but it is what it is...

Last two weeks I have been trying to be good with the eating. This weekend I barely drank (maybe three drinks?) and have been eating lots of fruits and veggies, I feel better then I did last month.
On with my feel good kick, I went to the gym last night for the first time in a while. I took a low-impact class to get myself into things and I think the instructor was on crack! While I know it seems like a lot of instructors can be "cooky" with all the motivational crap - this one, I believe had a legitimate problem. Here are the things that led me to believe that she needs to seek help:

-grey "Everlast" bike shorts

-a "femullet"

-she was unable to count down from 8 without repeating 6 twice

-she had a snack during the warm up - crackers - get it? CRACKers...zing!

-she was wearing halloween socks - no doubt, I saw tiny black cats and pumpkins

-the music she choose was lame - too lame. It consisted of 80's movie theme songs and soundtrack tunes - Fame (Maniac), Dirty Dancing (Time of My Life), and Wang Chung...everybody have fun tonight! Brutal - I like to be a little gangsta when working out. Honestly, I like to be a little gangsta all the time, and never has any workout play lists included ANYthing so full of shyte.

-FINALLY - she is a crackhead because I stopped during the aerobics to get a drink of water and she proceed to skip over to my area and as the music played she stopped next to me and sang the "Danger Zone"chorus at almost full volume. How's that for motivation?! I wanted to punch her...or save her, I was torn so I just left and went on the treadmill for the last 10 minutes of class and skipped the cool down.

Peace Out.

PS - the tempo was really high (almost too high) for the class so think Danger Zone sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks - lovely.

Just a Thought...

I have been reading another online blog and agree that it's really exhausting to totally be in love with TG and be happy - while at the same time trying to convince myself it would be fine if he were gone/we were no longer together.

I am consumed by the "what if's" in/of both positive and negative scenarios.

Does anyone else in a committed realtionship feel this way? Is this a sign of a relationship progressing (read: hard to/can't be without)? or of me being crazy and again reading into things (read: sweating the small stuff) too often/too much?

Hmmm...
