It's the weekend!

 After a long, stressful week at work do you know what I like to do?  I like to have a solo pizza, wine, and movie night.  So that's what I did.  Friday for lunch I made b-fast bagels for myself, J, M(C), and S.  They were quite nice, basically I made omlettes and put them on bagels with different sauces (pesto for J, chili sauce for M(C), salsa for S, and BBQ sauce for me).  I know what you are thinking "how nice of you to cook for people!"  Well, not totally... the bagels came in packs of 4 and I didn't want leftovers.  :D  M(C) is heading home on Saturday, so it was a nice 'sayonara' lunch.  I'm gonna miss him - we are actually quite alike in our dry humor, sarcasm, and introversion.  He 'gets' me at a level others kinda don't.  So after work I got chicken cup for the road, went to Papa John's, got my garden special pizza, went home, popped the cork on a bottle of wine, and watched Dark Fury and The Chronicles of Riddick.  It was 100% what I needed after a week of craziness.  

My Friday night - it was amazing.

Have to share my new skirt - I love this outfit.  It makes me so happy.  J showed me a website that is a little more gothic... I could spend SO much money.

We have our calendars for our fall schedule and I must say, I'm excited for Cheuseok.  We have Sept 29-Oct 4 off.  That's right, almost a whole week of work off.  The following week is only a 4-day week too because we'll have that Friday off.  Yay for time off!  After that, we won't have any other time off until Christmas and New Year's since those are both on Fridays.  Still, I'm officially in my last 6 months of my contract and I'm so stoked to come home.  I was talking to my friend in TX and she said it feels like I've been gone longer and I have to agree.  It's only been a year and half in normal time but in terms of mental and emotional time it's more like 3-5 years.  

I do have to mention I find it interesting when people I went to HS with send me friend requests thru FB.  I don't exactly have the fondest memories of WRHS, or the people there.  In fact, sometimes it's a former bully now sending the request.  The thing is, enough time has passed and things considered that I can now see that if they were horrible to me, they probably had horrible things happening to them as well, and there is no point in holding a grudge.  So yay for reaching the point where crap that happened in HS no longer friggin' matters.  It's been a long time since I actively wished harm on any of them, but now I'm at the point where I do kinda want to see how their lives turned out (and not just because of morbid curiosity).  So whatever the reason, it's kinda nice to reconnect with people from home.  And some of the pictures... MAN I miss mountains and horses!!!

Now for the dating rant - On another note, what is with guys just meeting you and trying to 'fix' things?!  "You should get a VPN," "You should come to see me," "You should X, you should Y..."  I want to tell them, YOU SHOULD SHOVE IT!!!!  I've been here a year and a half, and I'm FINE!  Ugh, I'm not good at people with their unsolicited advice.  I'm also not great at talking to someone on the phone... I'm not sure if that was ever really one of my skills, it was just a job for a while.  Also, if I tell you that I'm leaving in March and we have never met, don't try the "You'll have to take me with you" thing.  No, no, no, and NO!  I'm single, I'm not desperate and nor am I stupid.  You send me a "Hey babe" message that was obviously meant for someone else - TWICE - and try to pass it off with 'I meant that for my daughter.'  RIIIIIIIIGHT.  Look people, this is online dating - I know I'm not the only one you are talking to, and you probably know you're not the only one I'm talking to.  If you think I'm gonna go volcanic on you because you didn't check who you were sending the message to, then I don't, you need to thank your lucky stars and drop it.  It's gonna take a while for me to really get 'into' any guy - a few messages and a phone call or 2 ain't gonna do it.  I'll see if I end up meeting anyone new tomorrow, but honestly right now I'm not into humans.  Probably time to get rid of the dating app (I know, ALREADY? AGAIN?!).  It was supposed to help me meet people and to get me out of the apt.  I mean, it's serving it's purpose, why should I begrudge it for doing what it was supposed to do?  It's not the app's fault that people are already saying things like 'I'll come visit you in WY.'  Like, really dude?  I highly doubt it.

Me looking great on Friday - officially at my lowest adult weight. :)

Repeat after me, I don't need a hooded beach towel, I don't need a hooded beach towel, they are probably for kids anyway!

Anyway, that's pretty much all for me.  It's been a lazy weekend due to the resurgence of corona and the rain.  I was able to get J's b-day presents (yay) and Paris Baguette had my favorite salad (dinner tomorrow), and I had 2 of the beers that I got from M(C - safe flight home buddy).  Now for some Riddick watching, checking on the status of Furya, and bemoaning the fact that Metallica's S&M2 album is $9.99 on amazon for the physical album, which includes digital download, $14.99 for the MP3 version, free shipping if the order is over $25, but if I buy the album for $9.99, there is $5.99 shipping, so I'd have to shop for something that would be over $15.00 and send it all to Mom's and... I'll just hold off a bit and listen to it on youtube.  Sigh... what a day.
