4th of July
Hope everyone had a realyl grat 4th of July weekend. Mine wasn't too bad and I'm definitely not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. At least I managed to stick to my diet, mostly, and exercise every morning so far since last Monday, except one, because I overslept and set my alarm wrong. So here's the recap for you.
Friday I went home early from work, went home and relaxed. I spent an hour or so trying to figure out how to change the strings on my guitar. I was almost ready to give up at one point, but I soldiered through and figured it out. Hopefully next time will go smoother. I didn't much Friday night except pass out early. I called Brett, thinking he might want to get together, but he was preparing for his girlfriend to get into town, so he was indisposed. He took my calling for a sign that I was depressed and proceeded to make sure I was OK when I saw him Sunday night.
Saturday I watched Live 8 for most of the day and had my usual 1:30 guitar lesson, which was good. Fell asleep watching Troy on HBO, and that was about it for Saturday.
Sunday I relaxed during the early part of the day, then left in the afternoon to take my grandma and my aunt to the airport. They were leaving for a trip to London and Edinburgh Scotland for a week, then they're taking a cruise on the Queen Mary II back to NY. Lucky them! Although I found out that my aunt is getting rid of her kitchen table and chairs, so I'm taking them for the new house! Then I headed to Long Beach to hang out with Seth and Shari and await Brett and his new girlfriend Nicole. They'd been dating for almost the whole year, but she lives in D.C., so this was the first chance we got to meet her. Seth also just bought a 12 inch PowerBook (Go Apple!) so I was helopng him with that. We all went to dinner for Japanese food, got some Cold Stone Creamery, walked on the beach, then went home.
Today I headed back out to Long Beach for a BBQ at Shari's, which was a lot of fun. I got too much sun and drank a few too many beers, because now my head is killing me. Oh well. I had a good time. Came home and chilled, talked to my parents friends who were here, practices some guitar and now here I am typing this.
Poll question for you though. And here's a little back story. I took my mom's car to pick up my aunt and grandma yesterday, mostly because its an SUV and had room for all their luggage, but the real reason was I didn't want to put all the miles on mine, it is a lease after all. My older brother was pissed at this, because he's in the same boat as me, except he's way over his lease mileage and wanted to take my moms truck that night. So as payback he took my car somewhere. Not far, but I was still ticked. So, I know he went golfing early this morning and gave me my car keys back, so to make sure he wouldn't take my car today, I took all my keys with me. I know, I'm childish, but its my car, he has no right driving it! So I'm chilling in Long Beach, out on the upstairs deck, in the sunshine, looking at the ocean, drinking a beer when my cell phone rings. I thought it was my brother to yell at me for taking all my keys, turns out it was Elena, calling to wish me a happy 4th of July. Huh? Is this a service she provides for all her ex boyfriends and friends alike. I thought it was really odd, do you? What do you think it all means.
I swear it seems like ever since I said I was moving out of my parents house she's taken a somewhat bigger interest in my life. I have no expectations out of the whole friendship with her, I just think its weird that she called me. My mom said it was bizarre, my dad thought that maybe she's having second thoughts. What do you think? Thoughts are highly welcome.
Alright, time for Six Feet Under, then bed. Adios everyone!

4th of July is not a mandatory call to the ex, so I say it's because she wanted to talk and it's a decent reason to call. Btw, very rude of your brother to take your car!!
