Whew!!!

What can I say, but... GOOD TIMES, MANE. It has been a whirlwind of nonstop activity these past few days and it has all been fun... fun... FUN! Well, except for getting PO'd at DA on Thursday b/c he is basically only 24 and makes the kind of unsophisticated immature mistakes that 24-yo's tend to make. Lucky for him I am trying to be more laid back and appreciative of the fact that he is so young. But things are going really great w/me and DA and also me and Stefano and today I decided to bring in the New Year w/Stefano. It was going to be DA but DA just got hired on full-time at the restaurant where he waits on the weekends, so the good news is that he will now be making mo' $ but the bad news is that he has to work New Year's Eve. And although I will miss him I know I am going to be having a KICKASS time w/Stefano at his friends' private party where there will be tons of booze, food, great music, and lots and lots and LOTS of kisses and hugs from Stefano the whole night long!!!

So where the hell did I leave off? Oh, Wednesday me and DA went to the House of Blues and I had to give DA a quick lesson in two-stepping before we left the house. The drinks were incredibly overpriced there but we had drank egg nog before leaving and then I had 2 Southern Comforts on the rocks and I was feeling pretty, pretty, pretty good! The bands were great but we didn't stay long b/c we wanted to get home and drink some more and have sexy time with each other. But unfortunately when we got home I began drinking coconut rum and drunk dialing my cousin and breaking the bottom off my crystal wine glass and eventually passing out. Gotta love the holidays!!!

The next morning we slept in and tried the warming Astroglide and then I had to get ready for patrol. I got mad at DA b/c I told him not to read my text messages when he was playing w/my phone b/c "You will not like what you see." He read them anyway and saw sexy hot mushy stuff from Stefano and what pissed me off more than anything was that I had TRUSTED DA to honor my request and not read my fucking text messages. We left on a bad note and I didn't even hug him or kiss him b/c he also did not apologize like I kept waiting for. But after he left he did call me and left messages saying he was sorry and that he doesn't know what he was thinking and he was really just curious to see what Stefano said to me. DA had invited me to his house on Saturday to meet his family and I had accepted and even wanted to go but now I wasn't even sure I wanted to keep seeing DA due to my hypersensitivity to trust issues. Anyway, patrol was busy but mostly bullshit calls all day, and I decided to accept DA's apology after awhile and lots of texts on the subject and discussing the situation w/Brandone and just decided to get over it--as long as it doesn't happen again.

Meanwhile--my ex M. kept calling me all day wanting me to go to Christmas service with him that night at our old church, and then he just came out and told me he's not completely over me yet and is jealous that I'm seeing Stefano and that he was also jealous when I married someone else! OMG. I couldn't believe the conversation we were having and I felt nothing when he was telling me all that. Ain't it funny how time slips away... Like I told our mutual friend, my drummer George when he told me a couple weeks ago M. was not over me: "When you take bitches for granted, bitches pack up their shit and leave." Snap!

So after patrol I raced home, changed and showered and got to Stefano's house toot suite where he greeted me with Scotch and chocolate! Then he gave me a back massage w/warmed up baby oil and I returned the favor and then we took a bubble bath together! See, now that's a sophisticated gent! And I just LOVE and ADORE sleeping with him b/c he holds me tight and constantly kisses me and doesn't ever seem to stop and we all know what an affection/attention junkie I am. I hated to leave so early on Friday but I had to get home and make my 2 batches of sausage balls and wrap presents still.

Friday morning was so cold and I was moving real slow and running late as always but I picked up li'l bro and we headed down to see the fam. Fortunately it was a slow casual kind of day anyway and actually pretty pleasant. I was just glad li'l bro was w/me and I wasn't alone like I was on Thanksgiving. (Incidentally--LDB has a new girlfriend which is why he did not contact me about sneaking away for drinks again. Good for him! He needs someone to love and I'm glad he got it.) I had brought my flask and me and li'l bro spiked our drinks; later my uncle brought out the Crown Royal which we also enjoyed. Before heading back to Houston we stopped by and saw our mom and grandfather.

After dropping off li'l bro I raced home to change out of my slacks into a cute girly outfit and got to Stefano's house again (oh man--it's so fucking awesome driving only 90 seconds to see him!) and we got in his Lexus and drove to the sushi restaurant. I was so NOT hungry but we got large hot sakes and I tried 2 pieces of sushi and we just talked and talked and had a great time. He later said I looked so good we almost didn't make it to the restaurant. He lays it on pretty thick all the time but I am just hoping it's sincere and if it truly is, then I love it! Back at his place we broke out the scotch and tried to watch a movie but that didn't really happen. The next morning he let me sleep in a little and before I left made me a bagel w/lox and cream cheese and a cup of tea which is what I always drink in the mornings at his house. What a man!

I raced home (see how my life goes?) to change clothes and get to the park to meet Tito J for our run we had planned on doing to pay penance for eating too much on Christmas. He wasn't even awake when I was on my way so I did 3 laps before he even got there. We did a few more laps and then I had to split to get to DA's house in time. I raced to the store to get 2 bottles of wine to bring and then raced home to shower and change into an appropriate "Meet Your Boyfriend's Family for the 1st Time" outfit. You know, cute but not sexy, classy but fun since they also know I'm 13 years older than DA and I also wanted to look as young as possible! I wore a black scoopneck velvet top, tight dark blue jeans, cowboy boots, and I had blow-dried my hair very straight. DA lives in a very nice house on a cul-de-sac w/his dad, stepmom and stepbrother and his parents were really, really friendly and nice to me! We hung out in DA's room while his dad was frying the turkey and then I suggested to DA that we not be so antisocial and get out there and mingle a little. We got some drinks and soon people started showing up: their family friend--a drunk, funny desperate Housewife type--and DA's stepsister, her husband, and then his grandparents. His grandmother is actually Mexican and she very clearly adored me and kept saying how pretty I was and later pulled DA to the side and said that of all his girlfriends I was her favorite one she's ever met!

The turkey and everything was delicious and I also had to sample all 4 desserts, forcing DA to help me w/that project. Then everyone opened Christmas presents and DA had some for me and even his parents had got me a couple of things, which was SOOOOO sweet!!! DA got me 2 books and I got him 2 books but he forgot to inscribe my books and I made him do it right then and there. He wrote in one, "To Adela, the love of my life!" He said that his whole family really liked me and I was like, "Of course they do! Everyone likes me!" Later DA's teenage stepbrother showed up too and he was pretty amusing. The whole day was really fun and enjoyable and I had a great time. DA had to leave eventually to go to work and I gave everyone hugs goodbye and they said they hope I come back and I said I will come back anytime they invite me to.

So I headed down south to pick up my mom for the Ruben Ramos concert which I was so excited about! And even P. had said he'd probably swing by, too! Unfortunately my mom and I got there 2 1/2 hours before the damn band was scheduled to play at 11pm! Holy shit. But I could not get any advance information from the club on what time the damn band played, so whatever. I spent the time chatting w/my mom, drinking Crown and Diet Coke, and downloading ringtones for my 2 men so I can ID them when they call me: DA got "Play that Funky Music White Boy" and Stefano got "Let's Get it On." I also called the trumpet player for Ruben Ramos since he's a Facebook friend and he had sent me a message awhile back saying he wanted to meet me. But the phone call was kind of strange and abrupt and I was like, whatever. But then he sent me a text saying he was with his girlfriend! Like I care!

Incredibly, I ran into my girlfriend from years ago, Diana who I have totally lost track of and she was THERE!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable. And I showed her the # I had for her in my cell phone and it's still good! So who knew! Then P. showed up like he said he would and we danced a couple of songs and then I just wanted to watch the band, and they were KILLER! Awesome fucking band! And I felt so ethnic being around my people! After the band took a break my mom got picked up by my stepdad and I decided to go say a quick hi to the trumpet player, who had been dancing w/his girlfriend, so I did, just a quick one. Then P. and I decided to leave and he wanted to go to my place since he lives in BFE and his wife is out of town, so we did and I made him listen to the Holmes Brothers and we had a couple drinks and smoked cigars and watched the Rhythm Country and Blues video and then I put in Y Tu Mama Tambien and then I passed out in the chair and he passed out on the couch. Gotta love the holidays!!!

More later, I gotta get to the Target. Job #1 is totally dead. There were like 3 cars in my parking lot this morning. Love it!
