So does it make any sense to go to a bar and tell a guy you are married as a way to pick him up? I went out with my sister in law last night to meet those guys that we met last weekend. We just wanted to hang out and have a good time because they were pretty cool guys. Come to find out the only reason one came is because he wanted to have sex with me, despite the fact that I told him I was married almost as soon as I met him! Hell, I carried on a 5 minute conversation with him about how wonderful James was and how happy we are together! Anyway, we end up sitting there talking for a little bit and he told me that he didn't believe me last week when I said I was married, despite the conversation and the rings that I waved in front of his face (supposedly he has been picked up this way before), we couldn't be friends simply because he wanted to sleep with me and that men couldn't be friends with women and if they were it was only to try and get in their pants. He also couldn't be friends with me because I'm probably going to screw him over by simply being a female, and that he disapproved of my husband letting me go out and have a good time with my friends. Am I supposed to be chained to a stove or something? When I go out I just want to drink a little, dance a lot, and have a good time. I'm not there to hook up with anyone. If I meet someone and we become friends, well awesome. But I'm not there actively looking for anyone. Anywho, he totally pissed me off, but I wasn't going to let it ruin my night. I drug my sister in law to the dance floor and we started dancing. He came up behind me and started dancing too. I didn't mind that but he kept putting his hands all over me in front of her despite our conversation and my attempts to shove him off. It finally took her threatening him to back off. And he yelled at me to learn how to dance. I'll admit to anyone that I can't dance. I'm totally white. I don't dance to look good. I dance to have a good time. If I'm bad, who cares? I don't. So we left rather quickly after that. I had a good time despite all of that and I managed to meet someone who, I think with time, will end up being a really good friend, but it did put a bit of a damper on my good mood.

And my husband's oldest sister is mad at me now. My nephew's birthday party was yesterday. But I also had a family reunion to go to. I haven't seen most of these people in years. There were a few there who didn't even realize I had a child it's been so long. So I went to see my nephew before I left because I knew we were going to miss most of the party. He wasn't happy that I wasn't going to be there, but by the time we left he hardly noticed. He had several friends there and his grandparents had come down from Michigan as a surprise. I left with the promise that we would come back as soon as we could. I was late to the family reunion. Everyone had eaten already by the time I got there. Well I hung around and played with the kids and talked to the adults and felt very old. About 4 Connor was getting really grumpy from not having a nap, so I decided that it would be best to simply go home, let him get a bit of a nap and take him to the party. He crashed on the way home. He was so tired that he didn't even wake up when I got him out of the car. So I carried him to bed and sat down with James. I was exhausted too. I ended up falling asleep. When Connor woke me up the party was over. No one was there, and my sister in law was saying that it was time to get ready to go. So I had no time to take Connor over to see his cousin. Now I have to deal with them being pissed. I don't know what I was supposed to do differently. It's annoying that they expect me to choose them over my family. Oh well. They'll get over it.

And the ants are just getting worse despite all of our efforts to stop them. James' uncle has offered to pay to get a professional out here to take care of them and I think that is what we are going to do. I hate to ask him to do that for us, but they just keep getting in. They are literally coming up out of my keyboard as I type this. I just can't take it anymore.

Well enough for the bad news. James has an interview in the morning for a really great job and I couldn't be more excited for him! It does mean we will still be living here, but there are transfer opportunities so I do have something to look forward to. And if he gets the job he said I could see about starting my piercing apprenticeship! It's something I've been thinking about doing for a while now, so I'm really hoping all of this works out for us.

I did get something this weekend that made me feel awesome! Witchartist has been working on a portrait of me for a little bit now and he finished it!



I love it! It made me super happy!

And I saw the news tonight about Osama bin Laden. I am glad that after 10 years of hunting for this man and countless deaths that have occurred because of him that he is finally gone. It is nice to know that they got him before he died of cancer. I don't think everyone would be nearly as excited about it if he had died of natural causes.

Well I'm done for the night! Love you guys!
