Better late than never?

Quiet over the weekend, I had a great motorcycle ride to Austin to visit family and friends. My grandpa gave me some great DB advice (back off, don't push, let her choose to spend time with me, etc.) He went through a similar situation, and is a lot more encouraging than the rest of my family.


Last night:
W: why did you install Safari on my laptop?
- what? Could tell she was angry.

Me: I didn't. Apple installs it automatically with iTunes now. Very controversial. Hope you're feeling well.
W: Thanks for telling me that. I'm sorry. How r u feeling?
Me: Feeling good. Enjoyed recovery group and I'm hanging with new friends at Starbucks. Wanna hit Village Burger? I'm right next door.
W: I'm in Houston, thanks though.
Me: He he I know, was just kidding. I'll always remember when we first went there on Valentines.
- of course I know that W is in Houston. Guess she couldn't tell I was kidding.

W: Dork. I am making sweet potato fries tomorrow... can't wait.
Me: Mmmm, that sounds good. Sweet potato fries sounds like some southern black woman in the kitchen. LOL.
- again this was a joke (didn't mean to sound racist either). W loves the sweet potato fries at that place.

W: those fries make me think of Village Burger. Is this Jon Webster?
Me: yes, why?
W: That didn't sound like you. Watch "Meet the Browns" if u get a chance. I'm still laughing days later. I e-mailed u something this evening. G'night.
Me: Cool, thanks for the movie tip.

- checked my e-mail, and it was a funny joke from W. Overall, I was in a good mood during the exchange, maybe joked around too much but it caught her off guard. Which may be good? Reading and journaling this I'm actually encouraged by the interaction.

I'm really down today, lots of negative thoughts in the night. But I'm auditioning to play in the band at church tomorrow. Very stoked. They're the best church worship band I've ever seen, should be a good GAL.
