Friday...I shopped, did laundry, and then went to bed early

Saturday, I went to yoga at 9. I was driving at 8:30 and Elena called
me, sleepy, and asked if we were doing yoga this a.m. because she'd
forgot waht we decided. I told her I was on my wya. she did show up.

I guess...I guess the way I am is someone says 'lets do ___" and I put
it on my calendar, it's part of my 'set in stone' plans and I will
move heaven and earth & do whatever it takes to make that happen, I
take it seriously and I will keep my word as best I can. So it kind of
hurts my feelings when she calls 30 min. before class starts and can't
remember if she committed to me or not. BUT the end result is that we
were in class together, so isn't that OK? Doesn't that show that the
class & my friendship & her word are/were important, but she just
isn't structured in her life the same way I am? I tried not to be
pissy about it. We had a different instructor, Jen, who did some
restorative poses I really liked. And then partner pose where 1 person
is in childs pose and the other person lines up their sacrum/hipbones
with the other, and lays on their back, spine to spine, back of head
to back of head. It was...wierd. I would NOT have done that with a
stranger. ick.

Then I went to [aunt L] & [uncle B]'s and picked up [Cousin B]. He was being a grouchy,
sullen teenager, which I had only caught a glimpse of once before at
that NYE party at Jaime & Kathleen's, when the drunky tiny blonde lady
treated him like he was her son & acted out her issues with him, and
she got treated like he treats Melissa (probably). It was unpleasant.
He bitched about the beer party Friday night and his friends and his
friends parents, and how [aunt L] is being a bitch (I am REALLY going to
have to talk about that with him! She is NOt a bitch and I never want
to hear him say that again!) driving him crazy, and I just listened,
then told him about m wonderful evening and day so far, kissed him and
told him I love him even when he's being all Teen Angst.

Krav Maga class was a conditioning/fitness class, taught by Maria (I
think her name is?) It was legs/quads. Owie. I had told [Cousin B] that the
class would get him all endorphin-y and make him feel sleepy and
mellow, and it did. I'm glad.


Then I went to Mother's where I met up with Stephanie. She'd had a Dr.
appt on Friday, in Austin, stayed the night with a friend and was
driving back to Houston later that day. We had good lunch and a nice
talk, she was talking about investing in silver bouillon because the
paper money system is about to go down, which was interesting, but
kinda crazy.

We sat and talked until 4, then I went home and took a nap.

Got up, washed, and changed clothes a few times until I decided what
to wear: brown suede heeled shoes, my new boot cut hiphugger jeans, a
brown camisole type top, and the brown gauzey poncho thing with gold
embroidery and beads.

I picked up Elena and we went to Extravagasm. It was OK. April, Rosa,
Tori, and Jay showed up a while later, with their freind whose RL name
escapes me but whose LJ name is wildriverrrose, but they mostly wanted
to hang with themelves, get their picture done ,and smoke on the
patio. There were n ot a ton of 'dressed to impress' people there,
mostly the crowd seemed like UT frat/sor types. The stage was hard to
see and other than 1 rope bondage demo, the other area was totally
un-utilized. We left about 11, rather disappointed.

I slept until 10 or so, Sweetie and I had sex, then I got up and went to
the ATM to get cash for the day.

Elena got me around 12:20 (she got lost!!) and we went to San Antonio
to Bawdsey Manor for tea. We had a nice time. Mermaid Moon was closed
so I didn't get my candle. We shopped in some of the other stores and
she got bath beads for a freind, and then we drov back.

it's now about 5. [Cousin B] is out riding his bike. Sweetie is working on cars.
Sharjinka is going to see the new wallac & gromit movie at 7:20 but [Cousin B]
doesn't want to see it, and Sweetie will probably not want to rush to
clean up and such, (I'm not even going to ask him)

freaks.net had expired, I told him about that and he came in and
renewed it among much cursing and table-banging. He is in a
grumblebuny mood. bleh.

So...I'm home, nothing to do. Will go put away laundry and get ready
for the work week, I 'spose.
