I love my life...

What a great end to an awesome weekend...I just got back from hanging out at the Wolfe's house watching the Season 2 premier of True Blood. More on that later.

My weekend started out with the normal list of chores...I mowed grass Saturday, cleaned up around the house, etc. I then headed over to the Eagles to grab a bite to eat and get my drinking started early. Actually I had been drinking since 1ish, when I was mowing.
I ate a good steak at the club and drank 1 pitcher of beer before the Murray's got there and provided me with some drinking buddies.
After they drank their bucket, we headed to my house to ditch my truck, then headed to Six Pence to listen to Jinx'd rock out!!! I really enjoyed the band that nite. They learned my new favorite song "Hate My Life" a few weeks ago and I managed to talk them into singing it during the first set. I love that song and they do a great job singing it.
The beer continued to flow as we jammed to the band...there was even a new bartender there that was SMOKING HOT! Funny story there...earlier in the evening Big Red and I were outside the bar smoking...and we were commenting on a purple van parked there. Our buddy JJ drived a purple van, Red calls it his 'Barney Mobile'. While we were making fun of it, this hot chick comes over and gives us grief for picking on her van! lol It was too funny. Later in the evening, it comes to find out that she is our bartender for the nite. But sadly, she has a boyfriend, so I didn't do any major persuing last nite! ;-( But it's always nice to mingle!
By mid-night I was so drunk that I knew I was going to be sick...but as everyone else was still in the partying mood, I said my goodbyes and walked home (it only took me 10 minutes to get there)...I like living close to bars like that.
I woke up this morning feeling horribly hung-over. I even thru-up around 11 am. So I knew I was pretty trashed last nite. I didn't have much hopes of having a productive day today.
I grabbed a quick bite to eat, took a shower, then headed to work for a few hours. I actually had an enjoyable time at work today. 3 hours of undisturbed peace and quiet. I was able to get a lot done. Plus, I sort of restored some of my interest in the job. Lately it had be lacking - we haven't exactly been doing the type of work that I signed up for. But today was the type of work that I enjoy doing. This week should be a great week for me!
After a quick stop at Tracey's to catch up, I headed out to the Wolfe's around 8ish to meet up with them and the Murrays to watch the season premier of Season 2 of True Blood. The show picked up right where it left off. I really enjoyed the show, and of course there are more twists and story lines to follow. I'm really going to enjoy our new Sunday True Blood parties.
Now after all this ranting and raving, you're probably wondering why my Subject line says "I love my life...".
While I was sitting there watching tv tonite, I was reflecting on the weekend past and I realized that I have a really good life! I know I've been down in the dumps lately, kind of self-loating pissed at the world attitude. But sitting there with my good friends (all of whom went out last nite with me) I realized that I am truely lucky to have them! I also have a great job, great family, nice things to call my own! Yes, I may not have the girl friend part worked out - but so what! I have so much else to be thankful for!
So here's to you my good friends - THANKS for being there for me!

I really do love my life!!!

I really hope I can keep up this good attitude for the week ahead! ;-)

Take care everybody! Thanks again for reading!
