ST Oh I know, they are amazing players!! Very fun to watch.
haha thanks on the purse comment.. I guess maybe it was OK, I just felt like a dork (I pretty much said "I'm cheap" and "your girlfriend is crazy" - by accident, but still). I think it was fine though.
The mystery is fun! I confess I did show him the photo album of all the pictures people posted.. he didn't ask, I just said "Oh cool people are posting pics, wanna see?" Kicked myself for that later but it wasn't a huge deal, I just should've kept a little more myterious. He looked at them pretty close without saying much - then said "It looks like everyone really had a lot of fun." Didn't feel like overanalyzing his comment so I didn't .
Grandma is still hanging in there but I guess it likely won't be long. She's now allowing some people to visit but I am torn on whether I should go or not. I'm really hoping my bro will, it's been SO long and it would be really sad if he didn't get to see her again. Her mind is still fairly sharp, body's just giving out on her. At least I got to visit with her recently.
Oh.. and yes, other than worrying about grandma, had a GREAT weekend. One of my best in quite some time, I think.
Michelle Yeah, definitely a good weekend! Apparently the dueling piano show only comes to Sac every few months at most, but I'll keep ya posted when they're coming again. If you're free next time, it'd be fun to go!
Sally Yep, very fun - thanks!!
Jak On the "we" - I know.. giddy is exactly it, too - good word!
You know, I think you're completely right about my dad and grandma - he's already pretty much grieved her loss. He's going through the "rest" of it now, but you're right. He said the other day he held her hand and told her what a great mom she had been, things he appreciated, etc. He said "I didn't get to tell my Dad that til after he died, so I made sure to tell her those things before." Brought tears to my eyes but it was neat, too. Kind of a gift - he has already grieved the loss in a lot of ways, but he has the "chance" that so many wish they did, to talk to her one last time. I know exactly what you mean on the selfishness thing. I do hope that she gets to find peace with everyone, but then that it's not too drawn out, after that.
Thanks for the comments on going out. Yeah, it was so tempting to stay home and I am SO glad I didn't now. I am fairly sure he's wondering all sorts of things, based on how intently he looked at the photos.
H Thanks! Races aren't til Feb. actually.. although I guess that's sneaking up on me! I sure hope things keep going well, would love to enjoy that weekend with my H.
---------------------------
So all in all I've been feeling good this week. Had a great weekend, busy at work, things are relatively calm at home and H seems to be in "normal mode" for now. It's nice to stop and take a breath!
Yep that's me posing with the Korean guy wearing the fake Afro. That guy was hilarious!!
The lady in the shiny white shirt was really neat. She's recently D'd (or separated, I'm not sure - we didn't talk about it all that long). She had never heard of meetup and wanted to go to the piano thing but couldn't find anyone to go with. So she literally came in by herself, walked right up to us and said "These look like the best seats in the house! Can I join you?" I know it takes SO much courage to do something like that. She hung out with us all night and was even up dancing with the meetup organizer (girl in the white shirt with black lace) by the end of the night. We traded phone #s (while artfully dodging Afro guy's attempt to get mine) so hopefully she'll become part of the small but growing circle of friends I'm working on developing.
Tonight I finally went back to belly dance class and OMG I have missed it!! I didn't realize how much. Between a couple of work trips out of town, being sick, getting lazy a couple times, and then the holidays it's been at least a month I think. Although I have been practicing and the instructor noticed which was cool - "You've been shimmying!!" (my shimmy used to be really uneven and now it's pretty good). That was nice to hear!
I need to keep in mind just HOW good I feel after class so I force myself to go even when I'm feeling a little lazy!
That's about it for updates on me right now. Sometimes it's nice NOT to have much of an update!!
