Trying to set those goals!

[Trixi]

Yesterday when he made the arrangements to come today to do the yard work, he said "So, are you going to be home?" and I said "not sure."

And then he gave me a look and said "Well, it would be *nice* if you would be here." The look was "You should be here to help work." Which I can understand. I mean, I'm certainly not going to go to his apartment to wash his dishes, so I am sure he isn't totally jazzed about coming to my (albiet temporary) house to work in the yard.

I'm reading the book "why men love bitches" and it's a great read for helping me keep those boundaries. Wow, I wonder what it will be like when I don't feel compelled to read books about all this junk....

I had told myself that one of my goals was to go to a comedy club at least 1/month, preferably twice. Today he was talking about this comedian and how funny the guy was, etc etc. So I say, "where'd you see him?" (hoping he was say on TV) and then he referenced one of the two comedy clubs in the area. Great. So now I can't just freely go out to a club, I'm gonna have to steel myself for the possibility that he may be there with a girl. UGH UGH UGH. And how lame would it be to call him up and say "Are you going to Such and So Comedy club this weekend?"

I haven't worried about running into him at "our" theater because it would be WAY out of his way; but with only 2 comedy clubs to pick from--and knowing that we have a similar sense of humor--that just ruins it for me. Sure must be nice to be the dumpER.
