This week has been pretty frantic, with too many last-minute changes.
My good friend Larissa from Kansas City was supposed to come visit me for the holiday weekend but had to cancel plans last minute.
I found out on Thursday night that one of my oldest friends, Millie, is quite suddenly moving to Seattle to help care for her mom (who was stricken with ovarian cancer) at a cancer treatment clinic permanently; she is leaving on Tuesday.
School starts next week and I still haven't gotten my books.
Because I was helping Millie pack up her things and rescue a feral cat trapped in her parents' garage, I missed a needle felting class I wanted to go to with Tabitha.
The Top Kill AND the Junk Shot failed. I hope anyone who wanted to see the gulf coast did so already. We are so fucked.
Nick and I got into a...something when I had Millie and another old friend, Mike over for dinner last night to say goodbye.
Nick and I are still getting to know each others' friends. I have met his friends on several occasions-the NYE party at James and Annie's house, Nick's 30th birthday, b2b, a few work parties and Travis's 30th birthday last weekend. Last night when Mike and Millie were over Nick was completely disengaged from the conversation and started browsing the net on his droid phone. It was a bit...rude and hurtful. I understand he was really tired, and he doesn't know my friends very well but I also felt sad and disappointed that he could not be bothered to engage himself in the conversation and try to get to know my friends a little better. I expressed my disappointment and he apologized but I am still not sure what to think.
However, today is a good day so far-it's beautiful weather, not a cloud in the sky and I can hear the boats with the jet skiers having fun. Maybe later Nick and I will take Rodent for a walk on the lake. I'm glad the week is over and I have a holiday tomorrow to start off the new week without any sudden changes. I don't mind spontaneity, but after everything that's happened this week I feel like...Oof!
About Me
- Abea
- I do my best to respect and understand all those who come into my life. I have come to realize that there are so many paths to personal enlightenment, and it comes in all flavors, religions, and personal beliefs. I'm not sure where I am on my path, but so far, so good. I love learning about the world's cultures, and religions and I have a deep respect for others' personal beliefs. I put up with a lot of people judging me for a long time (and I in turn was judgmental because of it) and I am working every day to be open-minded to new ideas. I try to live by the philosophy to just be frickin' nice to other people, and I hope that others I meet are open-minded and nice to me, too. Because, ya know...there are a lot of people on this rock we call Earth, and it takes all kinds of people to make the world spin. Thanks for stopping in, if this hasn't make you yak feel free to friend or follow my blog; I hope you like what you read!

First, I'm so sorry about your friend's mom.
Secondly, is Rodent the dog's actual name? Cause I thought you were just joking when you called it "the rodent." But now that it's Rodent sans the and with a capital R, I'm not sure!
I don't have a stellar track record of putting forth the best effort in getting to know significant other's friends... sooo if he was really tired and maybe felt he had nothing to say, then I guess cut him some slack. Although, he probably should have just made his apologies, explained he had a long day, and excused himself. Hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure in better circumstances he won't let you down!
I think I am over it now, it was just surprising to see him act so disinterested and rude. This weekend Tabitha is having a BBQ so hopefully he'll be more inclined to mingle :)
