Cabin 250

You know how you say something and then you immediately regret it? Well, I'm guilty of saying something three times yesterday. I didn't mean it and I've apologized for it. Yet, I still feel horrible for saying it. No matter what the circumstances were that caused me to say it, it's not right. I've learned to keep my temper in check as I've gotten older but from time to time, I don't. Yesterday was one of those times and I wish I could take it all back.

I Can't Turn Right

There was a little kid traveling with his mom and sibling today. I asked him where they were going. He didn't answer right away, so his mom said they were going to Denver to go skiing. I looked at the little boy and asked where they were going skiing. And with a straight face he said "DUH, on a mountain!"

But I Digress

I love springtime in Chicago. You know it's coming because of all a sudden the grass in Lincoln Park is lush, the snow fences come down along Lake Shore Drive, and people are running and walking along the lake path in shorts and t-shirts. You feel as if we as a city have been reborn once again. Forgetting yet another harsh winter and all the snow, slush, and wind so fierce it takes your breathe away as you walk.

I get excited to think about all this city has to offer it's people in the summer months. There are so many street festivals, you have to flip a coin to decide which one to attend, or just run around crazy for an entire weekend hitting them all. It's realizations like this that make me so damn happy to live where I do. These next six months really make this city what it is. They also make it worth suffering through the other six months of the year when you wish you lived somewhere else.

Do You Want High Maintenance or Low Maintenance?

What do you do when friends put themselves in situations that you don't think are wise? Are you honest and say what you think while supporting them or do you keep your mouth shut and pray for the best?

My friends will tell you that I've never been good about keeping my opinions to myself. I say what I think. Lately, however, I have decided that I'm going to keep my mouth shut. If it doesn't involve me, then I have no business putting in my two cents. There have been many situations I've gotten myself into that I'm sure one or more of my friends didn't agree with. Many of those times, they just kept their mouth shut and supported me, hoping that I would realize what I was doing and would get out of the situation quickly and without consequences.

I will always be there for my friends make no mistake but baring any life threatening situations... this is the route I've decided to take.

Molly

To quote Blanche Deveraux from the Golden Girls, "I'm stunned, just stunned...stunned!"

Tonight Adam and I came face to face with the hot dad that lives in the building behind ours. You may recall reading a post I wrote about him a while ago. Well, this was the first time I've ever seen him without the help of an alley and two windows. All I can say is, I'm a little disappointed. I still think he's hot in that "great dad" kinda way but now, I don't seem him as HOT. Needless to say, I won't be staring out the window nearly as much anymore.

I'm Hungry, Let's Go To Costco

Do you wake up to an alarm and wonder what is going on? That was me this morning when "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey filled my ears bright and early at six.

I had offered to take my friend to the airport so he could catch an early flight. Figuring that I get up between 4 and 5 most week day mornings, 6 would be a breeze. Today however, my mind just couldn't comprehend what was going on. I laid there for a few seconds, trying to figure out what was going on. Then I remembered. I had to keep blinking my eyes to keep from falling right back to sleep. I stumbled into the bathroom to brush my teeth and stood there, staring at myself in the mirror. As I slowly brushed my teeth, all I could think about was my bed and how much I wanted to be in it.

As soon as I got back home, I crawled into bed, realizing that I really hadn't woken up at all during the drive to and from the airport. What a comforting thought.

Home

I can't quite remember when I became a home body. I know it started to happen a few months before I met Adam but it really took hold after I met him. Since we've been coupled, I've really started to nest. I enjoy lazy weekends doing nothing. I know I should be out soaking in all this city has to offer. Friends go out but I'm more content to stay in and drink in the comfort of our or friends apartments. Sometimes I feel like I should be more social. Then I think about how much I hate bars anymore. About how much money we're going to spend if we go out.

I also worry that I've forced Adam into being a home body. Wanting to always do something quiet more times than not usually over rules the urge to go out. I don't want him to stay in only because I want to. Hopefully he does what he truly wants to do and not just what he knows I want to do.

I'm only 28 years old. Should I be so content staying at home? Often I think yes but other times I think, no, I should be out being social, enjoying the company of my friends who enjoy the bars. It's part of the problem I have being such an unmotivated person. I usually lack the motivation to go out the few times I really want to.

We'll Do Almost Anything For You

We had to go to Williams Sonoma today to get a few wedding gifts for a friend of ours. I think I've only ever been in one of their stores twice before today. I know for sure that I've never bought anything from there. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the sales associates are very, very helpful. Their customer service is superb and should be featured as a model for other stores that lack in the customer service department.

This has been a public service announcement for Williams Sonoma but is in no way endorsed by Williams Sonoma.

I've Never Heard Of Him

I have so many thoughts running through my head right now. Here are just a few of them:

1) I'm scared to death of Mitt Romney having an early lead among Republican presidential candidates.

2) Ann Coulter is just a bitch. Plain and simple. And not even a pretty one. It's one thing to be a bitch when you're hot but she's just a plain old skinny bitch! Calling someone a faggot. Out of courtesy to women everywhere I won't call her the four letter "C" word that all women hate. Then having the nerve to say that she would never compare gays to Senator John Edwards. I'd much rather be compared to him than to ANYTHING even remotely related to her. Did you know she has a section in her blog that reads "Reporters Who Are Allowed To Interview Ann Again?" Are you kidding me. Could this bitch be anymore conceited? She's so sure of her position yet she only allows certain people to interview her.

3) My head hurts.

4) I'm a little jealous that Andrea is in London right now.

5) I'm so confused about all the investment options that we were given at the bank today.

6) I just know that Republicans are going to use Gay Marriage as a rallying call to get their conservative base out to vote in the 2008 elections. I just don't understand this whole thing. How does my marrying my boyfriend affect YOUR marriage? It doesn't. You don't lose any of your rights or privileges. You don't lost the right to call yourself married. So you think it's wrong in the eyes of God. OK, that's your belief. My God tells me otherwise. And yes, I talk to God too. Do you think only you talk to God? That I don't because I'm gay? WRONG!!!! Your religion is not superior to mine or anyone Else's.

7) I want to go on a cruise.

That's all. Enjoy your week!
