Home away from home.

I like blogging about the new country bar. That is probably because I LOVE the new country bar. It feels like a tiny slice of home away from home (minus the weird line dancing which people don't actually do in Texas). Blondie and I went again last night and went early to take some line dancing lessons. I had a blast learning how to stomp in rhythm and even doing some high kicks. I was bad, but it was all in the name of fun anyway.

I managed to make blondie flirt with the local radio DJ who was there handing out free tickets to a country concert and then wound up winning a pair of tickets. Coincidence? I think not.

Then we went for the bull rides. Blondie went first, and her ride was fairly normal. She had good balance and managed to stay on for quite a while. I was a different story. First, I had a hard time getting on the bull, as I'm a rather large person, and then I couldn't stay on long. However, my dismount was fabulous. It was a slow fall where if I had really tried, I probably could have pulled myself back on the bull 3 or 4 times in the time it took me to fall. I had the bull operator laughing his knockers off. By the end of the night, the dance floor was empty and blondie and I took it over, going from one side to the other doing high kicks.

The only drawbacks for the night were that I bought $25 worth of EtOH and never felt a buzz and that I somehow managed to pull a muscle in my torso when I was riding the bull and now it kinda hurts to breathe.

All in all - a successful night!

I haven't touched my med school applications in 2 weeks. Everything is really on hold right now for my recommendation letters. I've been tired, worn out, and unmotivated. I guess the working 50 hrs a week is catching up with me. Yesterday I turned in my letter of resignation for my legal job and my boss stuck her tongue out at me and said "That wasn't really what I wanted." Not very mature, ma'am. Thank goodness I'm leaving.

My boyfriend is preparing for an audition and doesn't really have a lot of time to hang out. I know his audition is important, but I don't care. I want him to be available when I'm available. Thank goodness I'll be out of town for half of this month so that I don't have to keep getting turned down for booty calls (that eats at your self confidence after a while). I saw him on monday night and it was pretty awful. First, his bathroom was leaking water, so we had to deal with that. Then his house is hot (HOT!!!) - too hot to sleep. Also, it smells like piss because his brother got a new dog and doesn't take it out enough or clean up after it. And finally, my boyfriend only has a twin bed. Two skinny people can't comfortably sleep on a twin bed, not to mention to rather large people. Needless to say, I don't like sleeping over. So Monday night I woke up at 2am after sleeping only 1.5 hrs and wanted nothing more than to drive home where I could have a full bed (only to be shared with my cat) and air conditioning. He pulled out the damn pouty face and the "It'd really mean a lot if you stayed" and of course I gave in. I had to make up the sleep the next night so I laid down at 6pm to take a nap and didn't wake up until 8am the next morning when my alarm went off for work. 14 hours of sleep and no clean laundry. I guess the good goes with the bad.

Oh, and I recruited some chick to go to our school. She e-mailed me with questions and apparently after talking with me decided my school would be a better choice than the others she got accepted to. Suckaaaa!!!
