Oh well.

Last Tuesday I made a giant leap out of my box. I went shopping with… not Richard, but a friend. It was our first outing by ourselves that wasn’t at a bar so it was a bit awkward at times. I really only hang out with Richard or other people with Richard around. I am not used to carrying a whole half of a conversation! (What? You people know I can be a *touch* anti-social…) Anyhoo, it was a fun time and we are still texting so I must not have been too freakish and boring… Then it was a spontaneous 3 day weekend!! I hadn’t known Richard was gonna be off Friday till like late Monday and ran to my boss to see about a possible day off. Which I got! So we spent Friday doing more shopping. I know. I shop a lot. But it was more for Richard. Then Saturday was the big rugby game. You see, one of our new friends is a player for the San Diego Armada.

... a purposely-inclusive and diverse non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the sport of rugby within Southern California by providing a safe and supportive environment where novice-level players can learn the game or improve their skills.

It was a great time. We hung out with our peeps while watching the game, which was the first home game of the season. I was shocked how much I knew about rugby. I mean, not a lot but waaaay more than I thought! The other team got all “Glee” on us in the beginning, which was kinda funny. It turned out to be some tradition or something. Anyhoo, our boys won! GO TEAM! (Post-game photo was happening, look at our boys!)

The rest of the day was kinda low-key. We wrapped up the weekend at Happy Hour at Candelas on The Bay. Amazing view, great friends, and HALF OFF FOOD AND BOOZE!! LOL.

I love my weekends off. Srsly.

And so going with the overall Zen Feeling of the day I figured I’d post something special. Umm. I got nothing. So instead I am going to repost something from a good friend of mine. It’s a generic list of Zodiac Sign descriptions. It’s funny to see if yours suits you, and involves a bit more being honest with yourself than you’d expect. I am a Capricorn. I usually try not to be. Heh.  I like to think I am more fun than the traditional Cap. More like a Sag. I am on the cusp after all. But I know, not so much. Although I have been told that I am much more fun now. Now that I am skinny, that is. It’s the only Life Change I’ve made. Huh.

So see where you fit in with your description. And please comment. I’d love to see how on/off this thing is…

But srsly. We, as in Richard and I, have been going out waaay too
much. I think in December we spent 3 months worth of our entertainment budget. It is amazing and wonderful to have places to go and people that wanna see us, but we are toning it down a bit the next couple months. We love *all* of our friends, you know who you are (even if we haven’t met in person yet)... We just need to pick and choose when we go and spend money, cause doing it all will put us in the poor house. 
I won’t like the poor house! If you get a no to an invite, don’t take it personal! And if we DO go and do we will tweet it, and that is an invitation to join us if you can…

In the meantime I see a lot of Game Nights and house parties in my future.

Not that that means anything to you people, but for me… well, *HAPPY DANCE*. It’s one more day of non-retail. One more day of (much needed) Gym Time. One more day of reading in my new book. One more day of working whatever the hell I want to do.

*sigh* I am relaxing as we speak. I suggest you relax too.
