From Crappiness to Creepy: Stories from the Bar Scene

So my newfound single freedom has forced me back into the bar scene. I swear I'm getting too old for this but thankfully there are some entertaining people that keep me at it. Besides, I'm not going to meet anyone - especially a husband - if I stay home every night am I?

So NYE 2009 ... I thought I would be miserable. How annoying ... I was single and all of my friends were hanging out with their boyfriends/fiances/husbands/families and I was all alone. Not to worry though - my sister and her husband rescued me and invited me to dinner and a couples party they were having. I didn't care - I refused to stay home.alone.on new years eve 2009.

So we partied at their house for awhile when we decided to get out and go to a bar (thank goodness - I needed some entertainment!) It was fun and pretty low key... around 1130 we meet these 2 guys. They're nice enough to talk to me and one of them whom my sister and I have nicknamed "Brett the Blowfish" because he was tall; yes... but a little on the puffy side. And I don't mean fat when I say puffy... I mean puffy. Red and puffy like a crab rangoon shell. I think he must have been drinking since noon that day or something.

So Brett the Blowfish and I continue talking and as the night progresses he asks if I want to hang out/post party at their house. I politely declined and said - you don't even remember my name I bet... why would I come over? I was right - he had no idea what my name was. And before that - the best part... he answered my other question (why would I come over/what would we do?) matter of factly and said...

"Well if you come over we will listen to 80's music and drink beer."

Wow... how romantic. Needless to say I did not go to after hours party at their house and hopefully I never run into "Brett the Blowfish" anytime again soon.

New Year. New Stories!

Oh my gosh friends! It has been WAY too long since I updated this and my do I have lots to share!

First off - I got a NEW JOB! And I love, love, love it. It was hard to leave the other one but in order to grow we must experience change. The new job was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I could not pass up! I miss my other job and the people that work there. I also miss knowing a lot of the information and where the staples and the bathrooms are - but I'll get there with my new job eventually. I just know it!

Second of all - no more bootcamps but a new diet program entirely! It's through a hospital so it's pretty drastic (I eat meal replacements and fruit and veggies only) but it's given me drastic results! So far - 15 pounds in 7 weeks which is good for me when I couldnt barely lose 5 lbs in 6 months! I'll keep you updated.

Thirdly - I should start a new blog titled: "From Crappiness to Creepy: Stories from the Bar Scene." I am not joking you - I have met some of the most INTERESTING people over the last month and my, my the stories I have!

Okay. Happy New Year! Happy Blogging! Happy Everything!
