Eagle Vs. Shark…i feel ya sister!

Well it would seem i tuned out for more than the weekend…my apologies.  Truth is this is what i got accomplished from my to do list for the weekend at the lake: 

1.  First rested nights sleep in two weeks (to be honest the bed and i were not compatible and i may have gotten two phone calls in the middle of the night/morning)
2.  Work on my tan…i’ve actually got a base tan started woohoo!
3.  Did i mention peace and quiet
4.  Tan, tan, tan. (i ended up spending too much time on #3 to get this one done)

When i returned home to the lovely ATX i was greeted with the most wonderful thunderstorm ever which allowed me to finally knock out #1 on the above list in my very own comfortable bed, mmmm memory foam.  And of course, this great weekend was followed by a short work week which ended in what i like to call “early release,” because lets face it, not much has changed since elementary school.  We still have our cliques at work….i think i might actually have evolved to be in the cool clique though! partly because we’re all the same type of people….but i assure you the other departments feel the same way, lunch is still the best part of the day, and we all still count down to quiting time, the only difference is it’s two hours later.  

4th of July weekend proved to be a much needed long weekend and an adventurous time was had by all.  I’d like to note that mine started off with a bang and ended with a new furniture adventure and the righteous feeling of accomplishment when Ash and I got the stupid draw to fit.  In between was A) 3 amazing diet cokes, 2 of which were bought by very thoughtful friends of mine, thanks Austin & Ash, B) a trip to Kyle to get fireworks… here Austin and I met “firecracker”….the James Avery clad young man wouldn’t even speak to me…just had to point that one out C) explosions in the sky…not the band, actual explosions over Town Lake (I refuse to call it Ladybird Lake) that lit up the city in such a way my soul danced D) sparklers and “The Circle of Trust” in my backyard E) i finally crossed off #4…woohoo for completing my list! F) mmm BBQ and discovering what level of hell i’d be on…thanks Dante, Travis and i will spend eternal damnation on the river, i hope our property taxes aren’t too high…Jake you’ll have to come visit, i hear the water is actually hot spring fed so the temperature should be absolutely perfect year round G) Actually owning at pool… perhaps you can learn through osmosis! and finally H) “You like doughnut?”— if you have to ask, you’ll never know…unless we force you to come with us the next time we go to the best kept secret on Airport Blvd.  It was wonderful.

With all this going for me something was bound to turn up sour.  I could list all the little things that really started to rub me the wrong way leading up to Monday, including how the new additions to my curtains didn’t work out, but i’m making a real effort to be more positive, so i’ll just mention how i got into a minor car wreak leaving work today and it really kinda pissed me off.  Yeah, Yeah mutual fault, but the douche bag was driving too fast on the easement to the station…not even a real road and when getting out of his vehicular wouldn’t even look at me and the only thing he said was, “i can’t stay here, i have to go get my son…”  Oh, well maybe you shouldn’t drive like that…and i have to go let my dog out before his bladder explodes so don’t look at me like you’re more important…you didn’t even ask if i had a kid!  Thanks for messing up my car, ruining my streak of greatness, making me stay at my office longer than needed and assuming i’m barren!  Basically, SCREW YOU!  Now i’m spending tomorrow’s lunch hour on the phone with my insurance company…looooooooove talking to them, love it! 

But, in the spirit of sending out positive energy into the universe in hopes that it will once again find it’s way back to me i will say no one was hurt, except ya know my pride…i’m not a horrible driver i don’t care who says i am…because most likely they’re from Dallas anyways…and my car is still drivable.  I’ve come to realize it’s just an Eagle Vs. Shark kinda world.  (If you haven’t seen the movie i recommend it for a short summer flick, not award winning but just odd enough to catch my attention, and i kinda like it.)  I would like to say that everyone is an Eagle or a Shark, but that’s too absolute…instead i think we have all been an Eagle or a Shark at some point in life.  Right now i’m most definitely a Shark.  With that being said i continue to bide my time in the water waiting for the right moment and promise to have pictures for you with my next post, along with my thoughts on WALL-E, because i’m going to see that tonight in hopes of turning this whole douche of a day around.  Deuces.
