Trying to set those goals!

on "not blowing the volunteer thing"..are you saying that you have NOT turned him down? that things are now open to you actually doing that together?

I didn't ever turn him down. I only made the face when he said he was looking into volunteering. And I think him suggesting we could do it together was *only* because he could see I was sad/miffed that he was doing it now. I never said no to him.

let me know what you picked and how you liked it.

I picked the Simpsons on your recommedation and enjoyed it very much. I have seen Bourne and can recommend it.

So, I get home from the movie and his car is parked in the garage (where I now park MY car.) >:(
Then I come inside. I had left a note on top of two bags of chips from the pantry, next to the mail. The note said
"Have fun! I am totally jealous! (yes, these chips are for you.)"

So, on the table was the note, next to the pen I used to write it with. No mail. No chips. And do you know what he wrote to me?

C'mon- try to guess...... Give up? He wrote (drum roll please) ....Nothing. Not a "thanks". Not a "lawn looks great" (I had mowed it.) Not a "I'm a jerk for parking in the garage". Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Out of curiousity, I go check the shed to see how many sleeping bags were taken. NONE. He did take an air mattress and some other stuff (not sure what exactly, but one of the campings bins was open and riffled thru.)

I go upstairs to my bedroom. On my bed, two pillows from the linen closet. ?????????????????????????????? Okay, so he got them out and forgot to take them, I guess...but why would he not bring his own f'ing pillows anyway? Was that some sort of symbol like a horse head in a bed? Was he trying to tell me something?

I didn't expect a novel from him, but a "thanks" would have been nice.

OH! And in between my runnings around today, I realized that there might be a chance that he would only go to the shed and not go into the house, so i sent him a text message that said "FYI-there is mail for you in the house. have fun!"

And do you know what his reply to that was? Another big goose egg. I would have expected a "got it, thanks" or even "ok, thanks" or even "K" Something. But Nooooooo.

How flipping rude.

My friend had convinced me that i should be flattered and happy that he is doing constructive things with his time and not just going out drinking. That it was a compliment that he was actually doing things I had suggested. Well, how come I feel incredibly insulted right this moment?!
