Not Your Average Jane

Happy Texas Indepence Day. In honor of the date.... I finally started reading Lone Star Nation... I've had it almost a week and hadn't gotten around to it till today... Its very straightforward with lots of background info on major players.... Like I'm on page 17 and I've read about the whole prehistoric Texas and now I'm working on Moses and Stephen F Austin's histories... I'm not digging the fact theres so much about them pre Texas but I understand its written so people can understand how their pasts affected them as far as settlement in Texas...
Other than that I've been thinking about myself alot lately.... Like not 24/7 conceited or anything.... More like how I've changed.... Physically and mentally... I saw a pic of myself and I realized how much weight I've lost since the last time I saw a pic of myself pre weight loss.... I also noticed my teeth are a little yellow ish so I'm bleaching them b4 I go to bed every night, started Sunday and itll run through next week... Hopefully by the time i finish my teeth'll be nice and bright.... :)
I also wear WAY too much jewelry... Like I saw on Queer Eye 2night DONT OVER SPARKLE... I tend to and I need to cut down on that a bit... Mentally I've gotten myself into situations (that sounds bad but its soo not) that I would have been REALLY uncomfortable in a few years ago... I feel like I've matured alot and come out of my shell, so I'm not the same ol shy wallflower I used to be.... And I have to say its kinda nice to have this confidence to be able to say or do whatever I feel like... Its sort of freeing in a way I never imagined...
In other news... I was off work today and it rained yuck... I was gonna try to see Shy Blakeman at Blancos but rain plus dirt parking lot equals mud and lots of it,as anyone at GF can attest to.... :) Tommorrow I work 945-6 and depending on how I feel I may go out to see Bleu at the Hideout... Friday I'm off again and Peter Dawson and Brian Burke at the Sidecar (if you dont have plans, GO, if you do, change em.... :) I think I have a lot of people convinced to go... Including guys I have a crush on... I'm screwed 3 guys I dig in the same building and me.... Whats a girl to do?) and Saturday I work 3- 915, I may take mom to the airport and go to the Firehouse for Kyle Hunt... Still tryin to decide on that.... I called Nancie today and left a message to check in.... Called and left a message at the Girl Scout cookie place (the sale doesnt end till March 20th - BOO YAH!) and Don McGill (a 30 k check up costs 395 PLUS tax and takes from 3-4 hours but they give you a rental car for that time... um thanks after that Hertz distaster last year I'm not too sure I'm feeling rental cars....). I cleaned house a lil, talked to some friends to check in and check up, and found out my shampoo is being discontinued so I have to find another one dammit.... But only after I'm done with the 2 bottles I bought (the last 2 they had :) )... I dont like change.... I hate being forced to change anything, let alone shampoo... um I dont think theres anything else really going on besides rodeo being in town.... I still dont know when I'm going, talk about your last minute plans.... OH!! Theres a guy at work whose exactly like me, if not a tad bit worse... He's gay and he wants to chase more guys through the store than me.... hehehehe.... also I found out that Dora really DID break a bone in her leg, shes not just blowing smoke or have a blood clot like we thought.... Its the smaller bone in the calf and her leg is swollen up like nothing us and she's supposed to have surgery... dont know when but that means up to a week (hopefully)without Dora... SWEET!!!! :) thats really it for now.... Laters....
