Had a good weekend. Went to Cincinnati for my monthly visit. Went out to Hooter's for the SEC Championship game. Sorry for you 'Bama fans. But I wish they had won; cause I have a hard time rooting for the Gators; oh well.
Later I took a 2.5 hour nap and then went out with two of good friends there to a rock bar. We had a great time watching people. Drunks are funny some times. Nice crowd. When I was paying for my tab, there was a girl sitting all by herself next to me. One of my friends sent me a text and said "Ask her who she's waiting for." So being totally out of character for me, I did. It built my confidence to see that I could still strike up a convo with a stranger at a moment's notice and carry on for several minutes. I left her alone after that; because that's not what I was looking for. My friends were wondering why I came back; I said I don't live here and I'm not in the market for a 20-something GF. But I gave them all of her info, they were too scared to go up and do anything else with her. As we were leaving I went past her and told her that it was nice to meet her. She said likewise.
I went back to my room at that point. This morning my Mom brought the kids up to Cincy for our Christmas party and everyone loved seeing the kids and the kids had a great time. I really enjoyed it as well. A couple of times, I felt some self pity watching couples that appeared to be happy; but most everyone there knows of my sitch and they treat the kids like family. So I didn't have my pity party for long. Plus, there so much adultery and divorce in that group; they know exactly what's going on.
