Lovin' its what I got....

I love that song... Heck I LOVE that band....

So my weekend update... I feel like I should be on Saturday Night Live or something... lol... Since it technically started Thursday I think I'll start there... And I don't think I've written about what I ended up doing....

So I started out going to Blanco's for Travis Mitchell... I swear that boy's gotten better looking since I last saw him in May... And he's still a doll too... His band's ok and his voice could use some work but he's on the right track...
I only stayed about an hour or so, Blanco's soooo isn't my usual crowd at all... So spur of the moment I figure what the hell, I'll go to Kay's and see Matt... I get there and ended up hanging with Halsey and her mom and a group of people that actually know Matt and dig his stuff... That was a nice change from my usual live music experiences as of late.... At one point in time there were over 50 people in that bar... The most I've ever seen there... And only about 7 or 8 were actually paying any attention to Matt... But he did have to compete with a wedding party so I think I can make an exception to being mad about that....
I left there about midnight and came home and walked the dog and went to bed.... (I'm too exciting for words I know...)

So Friday was more jobhunting.... Ran some errands.... Went over to Mom's for a bit... And then had a Little House on The Prairie Season 6 marathon... I finished the 2nd half of that.... Whoo hoo...

I had the worst time falling asleep Friday night... It wasn't helped by the fact that Sean called me drunk from Padre Island... (he and the boys went down there Thursday night for a weekend surfing trip and got back late Sunday night...) So finally about 3 am I fell asleep....

And then I woke up about 9 to get ready to go and help Linz move... After it was all said and done... It only took like 2 huge car loads, 3 people, and like 5 hours to move almost all of her stuff (minus furniture) to her new apartment..... Turns out after I left about 230 ish Linz and Ken moved Bailey's cage and Linz's mattress and box spring... She told me they kept moving stuff til about 8 after taking a break for dinner at Pei Wei... AND THEN they went out drinking... The dorks...

I on the other hand, fell asleep about 330 Saturday afternoon... Woke up for a bit about 6... Ate, walked the dog, and went back to bed... Til about 9 ish... Then I found out Matt had opened for Phil Pritchett at the Firehouse and I missed it... Ah well... I ended up not doing anything... And again having the worst time falling asleep I think it was almost 4 when I went to bed this time... So I woke up about 7 to walk and feed the dog and then again about noon to the rain... Of course the dog needed walking again so I had to break out the umbrella to walk her... Then I get back and Linz calls wanting a ride back home from Ken's.... Turns out she'd left her car in the village since she'd had a bit too much to drink... The goose... So as I'm wandering around looking for my car (which I'd forgotten where I parked it...lol...) Ken volunteers to drive her home and I go back up to my apartment and have lunch... Linz calls me later, after the rain has stopped for a bit and we go to Traders Village to look at Texas rustic type furniture.... We finish up there about 4 ish and decide to head out to Brookshire to this other place we'd seen furniture at... But right after we got past the loop it starts pouring down rain... So hard I can barely see the road... Everyone is slowing down to like 2 miles an hour and the windshield wipers are going for all their worth and linz and i are both freaking and rethinking our brilliant idea... We decide not to go and get off on the next exit and head somewhere else so that she can get a bed frame so she can at least sleep in her bed tonight... We get that done and go to Randalls to grab a few things.... Then I drop her off at her new place and head home... After walking the dog I finally got to shower and get clean... After sweating all day and having a lil bit of icy hot still left on my shoulders from Saturday night, I reallllly needed it....

I didn't really do more than watch some TV and jobhunt the rest of the night... Again I'm just too exciting for words, I know....

I do have one lil bit of a rant though... I don't know what day it was, but I was talking to Mom about rent (since its due on the 1st) and we were discussing money... She said she would pay my rent for the month but nothing else.... Our agreement was that she would give me 3 months rent for my grades last fall... But she was only willing to offer 500/month as rent and even though I live in an apartment thats 125 more than that, shes really getting the better end of the deal.... What we agreed was that she would give me 1500 dollars this month, if I still didn't have a job (which I obviously don't) to pay rent and my bills... Which she apparently she wants to renege on... She wants to give me rent (she didn't mention if it was 500 or the actual rent of 625) and she said I should just take any job offered me in order to have money... Lil problem there... NO JOB HAS BEEN OFFERED TO ME... She seems to think the problme is I'm asking for too much money... When in fact most of the time its been because someone else had more experience than me... At least thats what the very polite people I've interviewed with have said... She also seems to think I should be having 3-4 interviews a week... Which with the exception of one week where I had 3 interviews sounds a lil out there... Ideally it'd be nice, so that there would be good odds of my getting a job, but the job markets on a downward spiral and I'm lucky if I have 1 or 2 interviews a week, which seems to be a lot more realistic... At least to me...

We just discuss money, what she thinks I should be doing or the whole job situation and I just want to strangle someone.... I love her and she loves me... And I know she wants the best for me and for me to be able to support myself again... But I've gotten myself in a situation where in order to live I have to have a certain amount of money in order to eat, pay bills and get gas (in the car) and that sort of thing... Nothing extravagent, hell I don't really have any huge expensive tastes... I've bought one new Coach purse (when I was still employed in April) and a few new tops (again only when I was employed) but other than that, I really haven't spent much money on anything besides the apartment, bills, food, gas and the dog (who cost me quite a bit in vet bills RIGHT after I'd been fired so a chunk of my savings was shot there... I think I may have to talk to Tim about getting some money from the trust to tide me over since most of my bills are due by the 15th and even if I get a job tomorrow there's no way I could pay them on time, in full...

Anyway its off to bed I go... I have to get up and.... walk the dog.... Feed the dog... Jobhunt... Pray to win the lottery... lol... Pray for a night with Matthew McConeghey while I'm at it... Heck why not pray for a pony and world peace to go along with that, while I'm at it?

Laters.
