Catching up at Saxbys...

I know it's been almost another week, but what can I say...I have to come to a coffee shop to get on the internet, although it's not a bad deal...
The 'new' Saxbys is pretty nice, cleaner, new furniture...and it's nice to have my old 'hang' back.
I had a fantastic week! My only complaint is that I didn't get to do everything I had planned to...I kept running out of hours in the day (I'm serious...this really does happen my friends). Did the dog walking gig and the medical practice gig all week. (I got in trouble with my dog-walking boss...seems I missed a walk this week...LORD did I feel bad about it!). Mom & I went to see "39 Steps" at the Walnut Street Theatre Tuesday night after a meal at Bourbon Blue, and we ran into my dear friend Eric and his pal Jarrod.  It was a great production and we had a lot of laughs! Wednesday mid-day I had a 'day date' with someone I met in Cape May...and I have to confess...I was a wreck beforehand! It occured to me that if someone expresses an interest in me who I am not necessarily interested in (at least not yet), I go on the defensive. It has ALOT to do with my previous relationships and my lack of knowing how to establish boundaries. I'm just glad that I'm at least aware of it and hopefully I'll try not to be so nutso in the future! We wound up having a nice time...and I'm glad I went. Thursday was a busy, busy work day and I didn't get home and settled until much later than I expected. Friday started my fantastic weekend...I had 2 walks and then went-a-shopping at IKEA. I made out like a BANDIT and even drove home from Columbus Blvd with a load in my car and a sofa on the roof (which I fastened myself, ahem...). Yes, it was a bit nerve-wracking driving on 676 and Kelly Drive with a sofa tied to my roof, but I did it and was pretty damn pleased with myself! I spent the evening with Dom & Ali...dinner at Carrabbas (sp?) and then a blues band. We had a blast...but I always do with them...and we laughed our asses off! "You're a mess!" (Ali to Dom); "But she can hear a little, right?" (Dom, after I mentioned that our waitress might be deaf), and so on. Did this and that Saturday, and went through one of my 'totes' (full-o-crap) from the basement. Found some old trophies and alot of 'back-in-the-day' clothes. Like my Roxborough Eagles cheerleading jacket (OMG, so small...I almost cried), my Philadelphia Children's Theatre jacket (with "Annie" embroidered on the front...another 'ahem'), a few Duran Duran shirts (courtesy of the Ocean City boardwalk), a Pee Wee Herman t-shirt, and ...drumroll please...an MC Hammer "Can't Touch This" t-shirt...I almost peed my pants!
Later on was dinner at Bourbon Blue and "Limitless" afterwards with G&D...a GREAT movie! Today was spent back at IKEA (thank you Miss Daisy!) and then putting furniture together, while G worked on sheetrocking the guest room. MAN I am lucky to have the friends I do...seriously...they are the best!
Ok, I think I covered everything...hopefully it won't be another week before I write again...
