Random Thought Monday

RT 1) This was the first weekend of my Sober Scarlett project. It was an interesting one for sure. It was made even more difficult by the fact that I was expecting to work Saturday and Sunday, and then magically got off Sunday. PLUS Roomie and our friend K were going to my second fave bar for 80s night Saturday and I really wanted to go too. Argh.

WS came over late Saturday night after being out drinking with some law school friends. He had a freak-out about us and it was basically an attack of insecurities. I won't go in to detail, but it was pretty ugly. I was hurt because I don't ever want to feel like he doesn't know how much I love him, and how much he means to me. I am so open about it that I usually feel pretty silly. But Gigi made a good point when she said that he is really open with me about his feelings and intentions and is in a vulnerable position. It is all resolved now but I was really upset. It is funny, I was glad to for once not be the one drunk and causing drama. He and I are so alike sometimes it is crazy. Also my first inclination was to leave. I always stayed at ICB's house, and have never had someone stay at my house so much. It was really a good thing for me to have to overcome that urge and deal with it and work it out. Practice for real cohabitation, I suppose.

I did realize that I don't want to give up bars for as long as I thought. If I give them up until April I basically just have a month or so left to go out with Roomie. She is my fave person to go out with, we have similar "rhythms" if that makes any sense, and I want to take advantage of the time we have left together. But I am giving it up for a few weeks.

RT 2) In addition to the lessons, etc. coming up in the Spring I plan on training for The Race For The Cure. I am NOT a natural runner, but I really want to do this to show my support for my Aunt. So as soon as it warms up a bit and stays lighter longer in the evening, I am starting the Couch to 5k running plan. I did it before, but I did it indoors and now I want to run outside. Mostly because I don't have the $$ for a gym membership! I am excited though to show her how much she means to me. I also seriously miss the exercise endorphins!

RT 3) There is some major drama going on at work. At this point I am pretty amused by it, but we will see how I feel after working 12 hour days all week! Our office is like a family, and we sometimes snap at each other. Oh well. I think I have some kind of sick Stockholm Syndrome thing going on. As much as I bitch and moan about my job, I always feel the need to stick up for it. I was complaining to my Mom last night, and she starting going along with it and I started standing up for my boss. WTF?? I crack myself up.

RT 4) If you haven't watched the Showtime series The Tudors...go do that now. Seriously. I just DEVOURED Season 2, and I am obsessed. Never before has Henry VIII been so damn sexy. Lots of crazy sex, lots of drama, it's fantastic. An the chick that plays Anne Boleyn is an amazing actress. OK thats my PSA for the day.

K thats all I got...off to Hell Week at work.
