Catching up....

The last time I wrote I was sick (that was Wednesday). So much has happened but not really. lets see.



Thursday I got a disturbing call from one of my study partners in law school. She called to tell me about a shooting in Alexandria. Once of my classmates from law school was killed along with the postman. His father and uncle were shot and are still fighting for there life. This hit me really hard not because we were close but because we are in the same profession. He was a private attorney who (I guess) did a general practice, it was a family law firm and this guy just came in opening fire. I on the other had do criminal defense, and have all types of characters coming in and out of our office we represent all sorts of criminals. It just weird how short life can be.



What else is going on. Well I found out my crush is engaged. Yeah that sucks. Okay who or what am I talking about. Okay, when I first moved back I attended these "mardi gras meeting" and there was this guy that caught my eye (but of course I never said a thing). Well one day this older lady (bless older peoples heart, they just don't know) just randomly ask me if I was seeing anyone (which always raises an eyebrow) and I responded no and then she says (loudly) oh you and Crush should get together (oh Dear God, please open up this floor and swallow me whole) I of course act uninterested and shy and shame and needless to say never went back to the meeting. Well fast forward like 2 -3 years later I see this guy at a Bingo Hall were I volunteer (he was volunteering as well) and listen to him talk and find myself even more attracted to him. Well so I am having lunch with a friend and decided to find out somethings about him and see what comes back on his "intelligence report". Everything comes back GOOD and a GEAUX (shout out to the Tigers). Fast forward a few weeks, I take a play out of Serenity23's play book and decided I was gonna shoot him an email via Facebook to see if he wanted to do lunch (I should have known something was wrong with this when wouldn't go through but I waited and tried later and it went through). So I waited and waited to get a response but nothing so I just figure (1) he didn't get it or (2) he got it and didn't want to do lunch either way I was moving on (and noting the books on being brave and bold---stepping outside one's box may not be my thing). So yesterday I had the pleasure of seeing him not once but twice.....Damn it I never see this dude. I see him at a restaurant with some lady (who I will assume is his fiance) and then in the newspaper. When I see him in the restaurant I am being escorted out by my friends 5 year old son (now anyone who knows me and kids knows that my behavior is usually so NON-adult) and as we pass there table I just make eye contact and all I could say is HEY!!! as I am being PULLED out. Well later that night I am reading flipping through the paper (mind you I hardly ever read the paper) and who do I see CRUSH and his fiance in the Living section WTF!!!!! Needless to say I feel absolutely stupid. So today I call my friend who did my intelligence report to find out how this was over looked, and he tells me he just found out and that he was out of town last week and found out right before he left UGH (i growl). Well that's that folks.....



WORK---is kicking my behind.



I was think about my past and who I was and who I am now and was somewhat sadden by the transformation (Tourette moment Transformers on DVD Oct. 16). I use to be so active and involved with EVERYTHING and now I hardly do anything. So I have gotten back involved with Sorority (which as I am seeing can be a LARGE commitment). I also remember that when I have a full (not excessively full) plate I function better. So just going to work, church, library, family's home, occasional visit to Wal-mart and miscellaneous stores just isn't gonna get it for me. I need to get out more and make friends (cause I really don't have any friends) okay I do but not like talking about. So we will see what happens.....



I will address Serenity's challenge in my next blog.
