Random whining

I have never ever attended thunder over louisville in my life but it looks like this year will be my first. One of my dear friends has the hookup at the hotel she manages and we are going to have an evening of booze, hot tub, and swimming pool.

I hate fireworks they tend to scare the crap out of me. I also have a deep-seeded loathing for crowds. Oh, and planes make me yawn. So why am I going? Well it is the time with these ladies I adore. I have been neglecting them in the recent past and need to rectify that.

From June 2008 to March 2009 I had been in a holding pattern. My weekends were filled with drinking too much and staying out until the sun was up because I was trying to drown my sorrows from the separation/divorce. It was not a healthy pattern. The finalization of the divorce flipped a switch in my head and I started to be come irritated with how I was living my life. So now is the time for a change. The holding pattern is over and I need to be with those who are my chosen family. They are my constant and I hope I haven't hurt them with my neglect.

Here is a question for the few of you who may be reading this. What does one do on the weekends that does not involve bars? I am at a total loss. You all seem like a creative bunch so hopefully you can come up with some ideas.

I need to pack for my overnight stay and get myself ready for today. I hope everyone else enjoys their weekend.

  1. I KNOW! What is there to do that doesn't involve bars? Recently I have decided to start doing some hiking, but that obviously doesn't fill up the night life schedule. I like bars, smaller quiet bars, bars where I can hear the conversation but not always. I miss hanging out with a group of friends, having a few drinks or a lot of drinks at someone's house, just fuck around and have a good ol' silly time. I wonder if I can coax my old friends away from their wives?
    Enjoy Thunder, I hate it, I have been there I think four times, its ok. I am not a big fan of huge crowds either, and the beer tent is a fucking headache, its like going through immigration at Miami airport. Cut loose, enjoy your buds. My Thunder consists of hanging out with my sister making fun of whatever is on TV after a very long day of digging holes and filling them with concrete. Twelve fucking hours! I helped my step brother, which whom I do not even like that much, pour footers for his new lakehouse. My pay for this horrible sunburn and exhaustion...McDonalds...WTF. I did it for free of course, but come on, no beer?

  2. My weekends were basically spent at the mag bar. Occasionally we would go to cahoots or akikos depending on the night.

    Thunder wasn't too bad. I was able to sit at my window and look at the crowds with loathing rather than be out in it. We ventured into them for fried foods and then got the hell back to the hotel room.

    Dude, that is not very fair pay for 12 hours of manual labor. I would say that beer and ice cream and maybe some wenches would be appropriate compensation.

  3. I love storms. I have been known to stand out side in the middle of a storm counting the beats between sound and light.

    I answer your main question in this, I write romance. Snarky rude romance is my escape.

    Read a bit. I read quite often. I also play tennis and blog. Blogging is a release. Find a craft. I own my own business even though I work full time. There is a lot you can do with your time. My thoughts are racing again and I am off to bed. Night, αγάπη

    This is my first attempt at blogging or journaling or anything and I am already finding it to be theraputic.
