Vibe in Mcallen Downtown!?

Ok.... when did my little city get a downtown night life!? I went out friday night to seventeenth st down town. And there was a vibe! Holy Schmoly! I didn't get to enjoy it that long but that part of the story doesn't belong in here. I did love the live music coming out of the bars and clubs. I felt the energy of the people walking on the side walks. I felt safe and protected from the police officers on bikes. The plan was to hop from place to place checking it all out but i only got to enjoy the first stop. It was called the Patio. A very nice upscale place with a nice salsa band playing in a courtyard and a swanky sexy lounge singer playing on a piano inside. I had the best blow job ever! I even got a picture of it! I will share it later on. Anyways... I really can't wait to go back and check the rest of the strip out. I will be having a me weekend this next weekend and that will be my chance to check it out. I don't think they have the dance atmosphere I am looking for but I won't know until I go check it out.

It's my birthday!

Well... another year older. ^.^ I absolutely thought I was going to pass this birthday quietly. I had seen it in my head as just another day. I am not sure that is going to be the case. I have already had lots of friends wish me happy birthday... and it hadn't even started yet. ^.^ I definitely felt the love. Shar called and sang happy birthday to me at mid night. It meant the world to me....more than she knows. I had also actually gotten a wonderful birthday wish from Angie, Tori's and Johnny's mom. It felt good to hear that from her too. What surprised me most was the wishes from people that I would have not expected and from the ones that I hadn't talked to in a long while. My gift from Elli in Gaia was very much a wonderful surprise as well. My original intentions today was going to spend it playing magic with the guys, but now that I have Jon here , well it's the best gift a father could ask for. Mom is going take me out for Chinese when I get out of work. I am very much looking forward to that. :P As for gifts....I got an early one from Angie... well... she wanted to buy me something at the mall on friday but i didn't see anything... instead I told her I wanted magic cards and she gave me the money for that. ^.^ yayness!

An entire week with my son!

My world is brighter! I haven't felt this.... alive ... since I was with Shar and Gabe. This weekend was an unusual weekend for the kids and me. Angie was supposed to come pick them up sunday. Long story short, she didn't end up coming for them. I told her that it would be fine for tori to miss a day of school and Jon isn't in day care anymore. Monday was my day off so I got to spend some wonderful time with just me and them. Angie come late monday afternoon and we went to get some paperwork done and then out to eat. When we were finishing up Jon said that he wanted to stay with me. Of course he can stay with me. Angie didn't think he would do it though. We had to run and pick up some brake lights for her truck and while we were doing that I quickly made some calls and made some arrangements for Jon to be taken care of while I was at work. When the time came Angie tried pulling her crocodile tears and use a guilt trip on Jon to make him go back with her but it absolutely had no effect on him. Poor Tori though... it did work on her and she told me that mommy would be sad if johnny stayed. I paid no attention to angie whatsoever and told her that I would be happy at least. She called again late last night but I didn't let her pouting get me down even the slightest. So it's going to be a boys week. I am extremely happy again. I was thinking about it last night.... there are only a handful of people in this world that can make me feel like this. I'm glad. ^.^

It's Thursday!

>.< hehe My Thursday is the equivalence to everyone elses Friday. I need to clean up around the house so that I can enjoy the evening catching up on Lost, Heroes and then start reading my very anticipated Breaking Dawn! The weight and length of it calms me a bit and ensures me that I will won't read it in a flash and have plenty of story to satisfy myself with. ^.^ Even though tomorrow is my day off, it seems like its chalked full of things that need to get done starting with a drive down to Brownsville to do my taxes with Angie. No vegging out for me. Before I start off cleaning I am going to take molly for a long walk. She deserves it. ^.^

The Twilight Series....

O.K. This has to be one of the most addicting series that I have read in AGES. I read New Moon in Two Nights!!! It's probably been like 15 years since I have done that. Probably more! Anyways... I finished Eclipse last week, and I had to make a decision...I could wait to see if I would get Breaking Dawn for my birthday which is on the 11th... or I could go and buy it myself. IF I choose to buy it that would mean that I couldn't take the salsa dance lessons that I was planning on taking... having spent that money on the book. Well.... I couldn't wait that long...I had to start reading it. So today I went and bought it. >.< I figured that my desire to finish the series was WAY greater than my desire to learn to salsa. Salsa will be there after I am finished and I will enjoy it even more knowing that my soul is complete again having finished the series. >.<

*le sigh* Shar is right and I am wrong.

Ok so me and Shar were talking about running. She says that running makes her feel good. I said it doesn't make me feel good but it does make me feel a sense of accomplishment.... and so as I am running today I notice my cheeks hurting... and then I realize I'M SMILING! DOH! Gawd... I laughed and when I started to walk again I pulled out my phone to call Shar and acknowledge that she was right and I was wrong. Running does indeed make me happy. >.<

What has happened in the last month....

Wow! Over a month since I posted! I'm almost as bad as shar >.<

Ok I am going to try and fill you in with whats happened....be warned... it's sporadic >.<

Well, the trip was everything I hoped for and more. I love shar's family. Lee, I love her to death. Barbra had me very scared at first but I think I grew on her in the end. The scenic drive up there.... gorgeous! The snow was beautiful. Shar got me a bracelet that I absolutely love. She also got very sick. :(. I stayed an another week to help take care of her. All though I would have stayed mostly because I didn't want to go. I met Beth! She is everything I imagined she would be. I love Beth! She Rocks! She took me on a tour of San Francisco. I saw more than I thought I could in a day. My favorite place was the hill that over looked all of San Fran. I can't wait till I am living up with Shar. Then I can call up Beth and we can we can just go chill out on top of the hill and drink Boones and have a good time. ^.^ Micheal... I like Micheal. Irish.... I like Irish too. ^.^ DAVE...was nice to meet because I had NO idea what to expect with him. I like Dave ^.^ ! DAMN THE MAN!!! hehe >.< I definitely got a better idea of what there is to offer up there as far as jobs. I will start my file of applications and begin getting ready for that. Monica, is Shar's boss. I like Monica! ^.^ She also has two gorgeous golden retrievers! OMG those two are precious! Beth has two cats. One's a ... as shar put it.. a bitch, lol, and the other is A.D.D >.< . Shar has three cats. Those are her boys. Louie is her favorite. He is very shy though... or untrusting.. I can't tell. Lee has three dogs which I think are part horse because those suckers are freaking HUGE! They are the sweetest things though. ^.^

When I got back... I was very sad. I smiled only once on that first day. I think it's also part of the reason it has taken me so long to get back on my blog. I am doing much better now and the pang of missing Shar and Gabe has lessened greatly.

Work has been fine. There has been no further mention of me staying with them for as a salaried employee. I think that me staying the third week let them know where my heart is at. They know I love them, but I love Shar much more. Also... the opportunities for me up there are just soo much more.

Most recently, me and Angie (my lil ones mother), have had a closer relationship with in the last week. I am very happy for that. I was in a bad place in my heart and mind and she was there to console me. It was nice and it gave me much hope that things are on the way to healing between us. It's important I think. We need to be great friends if we plan on raising our children jointly. I don't think it can work if we aren't.... at least it wouldn't be healthy for them.

And... thats all I can think of off the top of my head... that's the gist of my last month plus a few days.
