I am exhausted, big time. Doesn’t help that for the last 2 nights I didn’t hit the hay until 5 am and got up around 10am………and that was on top of drinking.
Friday I stole Sandi away from her family and headed to a mall not that far from her. Pretty much just did the woman thing and walked the mall. We pretty much talked, talked and talked. We are lucky to see each other once every few years and even though we spend a lot of time on the phone, it is not the same.
Then we went a few towns over to a hotel that Harold booked for us. The hotel had a bar that had live music on Fridays and Saturdays. So we went down to do some drinking. Since we originally planned on finding a dance club, I want to do my drinking while all we had to do was walk to the room. =) That night we got a table towards the back of the bar and talked some more….lol We were there until the bar closed, I got drunk and then we stayed up talking about our old school mates and what we knew about them, seeing if we could find them online. It was weird to see some of their names again.
We finally crashed and Sandi is so use to getting up for her kids, so we ended up coming alive around 10. Didn’t mean we really got moving………..lol Then it was on to another mall. I’m not really a mall person, but we wanted to look for xmas present ideas. Both malls we ended in didn’t have really what we were looking for.
In one mall, we did find a music store where you just scan the cd and you can hear samples of the songs off of it. So I with her help, I was able to find some more update artists that I would like. Luckily for me, her having kids kept her update……lol Without them, you get to busy in everyday life you just can’t keep up. So when we were there I used my ipod to voice record the artist and albums, now I just need to listen to it and type it out. Then I’ll have my xmas wish list. =)
We were originally going to go to a dance club Saturday, but it was a drive away, Sandi didn’t bring any dance clothes and it isn’t really her thing. So we cheated and stayed at the hotel, got a table at the front and just enjoyed ourselves. She feels we had more fun then if we had gone to a club, partly because we knew 99% of the songs that the band played. Most of it was from our teen years, so it wasn’t like we had to guess the songs. She would dance in her little corner of the table.  I actually got up on the dance floor a few times later in the night and neither of us was feeling any pain. =)
After the bar closed, we headed back up to the room. Our room had a 2 person jacuzzi. So we got some wine out and spent several hours in it……….grin.
It was a great weekend. It was just us two and on one hand I felt we should have gone out and done more, but all we wanted was to spend time together………and boy did we talk, talk and talk.   I so missed that. We can so fully be ourselves with each other.
When we were talking on the drive back to her place about making up a scrap book for each other, it dawned on us that we don’t have many pictures of us together………..and didn’t get any this weekend……….doh…. we are usually just enjoying each other’s company so much and talking (boy, we talk a lot and seems like we are never done…lol).So on my long drive back, I keep trying to figure out why I don’t take many pictures of people…..because I don’t. Even of my family, I have to force myself and that is only because I don’t see them often and when it comes to the kids, they change so much. If I do take a bunch it is due to an event or gathering, family wise. And the more I thought of it, I don’t like the pictures that I take of people. I really prefer and enjoy taking scenery pictures. Maybe it is because the subject is stationary and to get the right picture, I just make the changes…..zoom, lighting, etc…..instead of also having to worrying about someone’s facial expressions and movement. Unless I can get people to pose for a few moments, I suck at the spontaneous shots and they frustrate me.
Tomorrow, luckily everyone is going to be busy, because I have neglected my online work for that last few days and need to spend a day on it.
After working on this post on and off for the last 2 hours, I better get my ass to bed.
