last night I had the most amazing dinner with some great friends I'm sad I hadn't met earlier. In today's day & age (not to mention working in politics) 'marriage' 'husband' & 'wife' are taboo terms-- at least in a positive light they are. 'A', a beautiful coworker who works for the same organization I do, but in a different department invited me over to her place to have dinner with her husband 'T' & their friend 'M'. She went out of her way to cook Indian dishes to celebrate my departure. Their cozy home boasted photos of their wedding where T sported a classic western tux & A's beautiful dark skin contrasted her gown as her life giving eyes shown out of the frame at any onlookers. T's black bear mount watched us eat our dinner, laugh, play 'pig-out' & 'phase-10' for almost 4 hours. It was a beautiful evening, & I hope one day I can have what they have.
Tonight is the Randy Roger's Concert-- one of my favorite Texas Country Artists. I'm going with 'B' as my date. I'm not a big fan of being picked up at home, after all I have my own car to drive & drives to dang slow anyway!! Okay, that's not completely true, but I'm afraid that he might be someone special, & there are too many other things going on for me right now. But here lies the rub-- social circles are so jumbled up that I see him everywhere anyway-- almost each day (I suspect some is strategic planning on his end..) He says he wants to wait for me to come back from India, but that's another subject all together.
Now what to wear... boots since it's outdoor, maybe jean skirt, t-shirt & ball cap?? hmm.. Maybe should do the get all pretty thing *shrug*
My work circle of gal's have decided to take off to Puerto Rico in a week-- for about 4 days. Even though I haven't moved out of my house yet (16 days til take off to India now) & I'm pretty close to broke.. I think I'm in. I mean hell, I've never been to Puerto Rico & who am I to turn down an opportunity? & I've got some friends with some money that are lookin like they might come thru. Buncha the guys are gettin riled up bout goin too, so I figure we'll all figure it out tonight at the concert. Wish we'da got a table..
I wrote a memo to my 4 immediate bosses today. (yea, it's a weird set up, but I've got about 9 more indirectly that I'll address later.) I thanked them for everything they've done & let them know when my last day of work was. It's hard to convey that I appreciate everything they've done & all the chances they took, stickin their necks out on my account, taking care of me.. There is so much they have done, & I feel like I've written a break up letter. In all honesty, I know I've worked with some of the best-- hopefully that will help me find a job when I get back, tryn not to worry bout it too much.
