Today marks the first anniversary of my Grandmother Wright's passing. She passed on September 9, 2004 in the early morning hours somewhat quietly with my dad at her bedside. I love my Grandma Wright so much. She was the epitome of what's right about people. She found good in everyone and in every situation. She was a rock! I keep her close to me everyday. She has inspired me even from beyond the grave. My life has truly changed for the better due in large part to her example and her continued guidance. I love you Grandma!!
You could probably guess what I'm going to say about today, right? Today is Friday, and I absolutely love Friday's This marks the beginning of yet another three day weekend for me. I asked for Monday off just so I could chill out for three consecutive days. Too, this extra time will be enable me to spend some time at the lake without feeling rushed or under the gun. Have I told you how much I can't stand being rushed? I think I have. :-)
My early morning routine went as planned and the weather was once again very conducive to driving the BM'er. And after yesterday's dreadful start, I needed a BM'er day. Work went exceptionally well. It went well because I willed it to. After all, when contrasting Thursday and Friday, the only true difference was my mindset, not much else. I'll allow this to be a lesson learned and move on. "Lord I apologize for being an asshole yesterday morning. You can put me with the starving pygmy's down in New Guinea!"
Dilemma!!! Oh, oh - what to do? Before thinking it through, I planned a first date with a women I just met for tonight right after work. I was worried that she would want to stay out most of the evening therefore cutting into my Barley time. Andi didn't want to take her to Barley's because I don't want to invite someone that deep into my world until I know them well and want them around me more. What to do - What to do? We planned to meet at the new Knotty Pine. It is very nice since the recent remodel. If you haven't been there, you should. We wanted a to do some patio time and they have a very nice one in the middle of old Grandview. As it turned out the good lord was smiling down on me tonight, though. She wasn't into staying out too late and it was clear that I would get the date brownie points and get to go to Barley's albeit a little late. But that's OK. I'm good! Yeah , uh huh!!
By 9PM we termed our date and I was in route to my favorite watering hole. I was excited! You know, I just learned something about myself by writing about it. My priorities are much clearer now. One would think that I would have been much more excited about my date than I was, and certainly more excited than I was about going to Barley's but just wasn't how it was. We can't force feelings though, can we?
Once I arrived at Barley's I saw Bob and Mary Ann right away. Bob immediately confirmed that we had a 1002AM tee time at Split Rock in Orient for Saturday. Wahoo! Lee, one of my favorite bartenders and assistant brewmaster mentioned that tomorrow was his birthday. No wonder I like him so much. He's one of me. He's a Virgo! Also, important to note, Katie was there. She is a hot little waitress that I think is all that and a bag chips! She's 24 or something like that though. A little too young, I think???? Oh well, after a couple of beers I decided to head home so I could wake early for my run and morning prep and not feel rushed.
Have I told you how much I hate to be rushed!!!!
Song of the Day: Sarah Mclachlan,
In The Arms of an Angel
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance For the break that will
make it okThere's always some reason to feel not good enough And it's hard at
the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release Memories seep
from my veins They may be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace
tonight In the arms of an Angel fly away from here From this dark, cold hotel
room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the wreckage of your
silent reverie You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here So
tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn There's vultures and thieves
at your back The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies That you
make up for all that you lack It don't make no difference, escaping one last
time It's easier to believe In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness That
brings me to my knees In the arms of an Angel far away from here From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear You are pulled from the
wreckage of your silent reverie In the arms of an Angel; may you find some
comfort here You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
