angelakI went to ![[info]](https://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
aroidan's Cinco de Mayo party, with Travis.
Good times. I drank a Mountain Dew. :D Hung out with my brother, and saw ... Keith. I almost didn't recognize him, he was skinnier and doing his usual stuff. I forget that since I last saw him he wasn't really "grown up" quite yet. Still a teenager and most of those folks are exiting those years.
Whatever the case.
I played with Pokey, the Dachshund puppy. Nevermind that, not enough time to explain (meeting my sister at 10ish to go Bridesmaid dress shopping - we are not thrilled about this.)
ON the good side of that, it means I get to hang out with Jill and I love hanging out with either of my siblings. They're awesome people who are TOTALLY different than me, so it makes it fun. We all appreciate each other for who we are and I think that is so fantastic.
I ask myself so many times in my life how I became so blessed with the family that I have.
I have no answers. They just are fabulous people who can appreciate me as much as I appreciate them.
(My sister makes lots of jokes about me running naked in the woods with my friends.) Every OLO she's like, "oh, you're going to run naked in the woods again with your friends." :P
Silly lady.
Regardless.
Last night was the first night that I actually slept more than 5-6 hrs of sleep. That's not bad, but after the road trip, my body was begging me for more. I guess after the cumulative stress of the week, come 11PM (rare for me anymore) I was falling asleep. I was trying to force myself to stay awake to talk to a friend (white_koi ) - however, it just was not happening. It felt so good to be passing into slumber in my own very comfortable bed...
You know what it's like when you're so tired, it almost feels good to fall asleep every 2 seconds?
That's what it felt like.
I'm awake this morning and I feel fabulous.
On the news scale: My mom got a new Cocker puppy. She has offloaded all Dachshunds (yes, more pictures will ensue later) and ever since Mindy, our beloved old family pet that lived with me for the first 13 years of my life died, we have yet to have a Cocker Spaniel. I'm excited. We think this one's name will be "Danny." My idea. Ish.
Anyway. Got to run.
I'm content.
Even though I was extremely cynical and almost bitchy last night at the party;aroidan's friends aren't quite the kind that mesh into my world, I don't think. And there is one in particular who always gives off this projection of dislike around me (it's no secret he thinks I'm an immature, self deluded, spiritually misguided and naive, woman - who doesn't deserve an iota of attention). This is the projection I get when I talk to him, stand next to him, or even exist.
I try and be nice.
Whatever the case. I wasn't thinking I'd need to draw up shields at a party like that. He caught me off guard when I was genuinely saying hello.
Then you just want to cry.
Could it have been my skirt? I was just trying to feel pretty and girly. That's no cause to be so hateful.
*shhrrrrrugs*
I love TOOL!
Tired of hearing it yet?
