Big day yesterday. The truck situation ended, sort of. It ended with me saying “text me your address. Let me know when you deposit the payment into my account every month. And we r done.” Easy enough, I guess. But franly, I don’t have the time, desire, or motivation to deal with someone who says that  even though IO’m giving them over a year to get their stuff together, that they want a legal contract because “she knows how I can be.” Seriously? What an insult to my trying to give this person what I consider to be more than enough time to get their stuff in order…which will make us broken up for almost 3 years…but she knows how I am. AND she calls my dad and tells him that she’s worried I’m going to go and take the truck in the middle of the night or something which makes NO sense. I want the ties CUT. I don’t want possession of the truck. I don’t want it in my name. I don’t want a car payment that’s twice as high as my current one. So why bring my parents into it in the first place, but especially when it’s a totally irrational reason that is completely unfounded. I cannot even tell you how mad I was when I read this one particular part of the text. “I know how you can be.” NEVER AGAIN will I help anyone financially unless it is my little sister. I see where it gets me.

Yesterday I got home pretty late, so I didn’t get to the gym and I feel awful for it. I took like a 30 minute nap and then got up to go car shopping with my little sister again. This time, though, she drove away in the car she wanted. I’m so proud of her and the fact that she’s doing so well. I’m still envious, though, because her car is newer and better than mine. There was a 2008 Honda Accord sitting in the parking lot that I want SO BAD. It was red with black leather interior. And it was so cool. It had 5,000 miles on it which lowered the price a little bit, but not enough. It was still like $27,000. But it had real chrome wheels and pretty tires and it was so beautiful. And I still want it. But it’s not realistic and makes no sense for me to take on that much more of a car payment. So I will wait.

After the long car buying experience, it was off to Top Golf to watch football. It wasn’t a big deal. A few friends sitting around a couple tables eating and watching the game. It was so funny because you walk into the place with football on and it’s loud. Like sports bar loud. Then right after the game they go to the RNC and turn the volume OFF! I was surprised. Here we are in a historic election, regardless of who ends up winning, and they turn the volume off. I don’t know why I was surprised because nobody goes to a sports bar to watch a political convention, but it would’ve been cool to have seen what they were saying. I know there was protestors or something, but I don’t know why. And I’m just stupid enough to have stayed there and making lip reading a game. I didn’t do well at all, but whatever. Thank goodness for youtube.

This weekend is gonna be a busy one. Tonight my kickball team is doing whirleyball. Don’t ask me what that is, because I don’t know. Then tomorrow is Kelli’s baby shower, so I have to go and get the gift today. I’m supposed to hang out with my friend Marni tomorrow night. Then Keith is doing a fundraiser on Sunday for firefighters. I think he is the Master of Ceremonies, so I guess I should be a good friend for a change and go. Then it’s football and the VMA’s and so much more. Michelle’s going to Austin for a wedding on Saturday, which makes me a little sad, but I will find a way to make it through.

It’s so strange, though, when you get used to being around a person almost every night and then one night they’re not there and it throws your world into a tailspin. But I am not co-dependant. At least I don’t think I am.

Still not friends with Nastia. I’m sure she will come around and take me in, but I’m sure she’s busy or something and will catch up on my blogs this weekend. At least that’s what I’m going with.

Thanks! Have a good weekend.
