Isn't Fun the Best Thing to Have?

That's a quote from one of my fave movies of all time, Arthur. He's a loveable drunk, just like me! But that's not really fair, I mean I didn't even drink last night at all. I still have to lose 1 of the 2 lbs. I gained over the holidays. Even though it's bitterly and unreasonably cold here in H-town this week (wind chill will be in the fuckin' teens the next 2 days!) I am getting my ass to the park tonight to run the 3 miles that I did w/Tito J. last week. I put my workout clothes in the car this a.m. and I'll change at Job #2 and then DO IT, baby! Besides, I want my naked ass to look as good as possible now that I've got these 2 adorable men looking at it all the time, hee hee!

Had rehearsal last night and we were all out of shape, i.e., my fingers were just not moving as fast as they needed to and Leo's voice was ragged and George's drums were out of tune. I even drank a Lone Star beer which I never do, since I thought it might help. But they guys loved my song suggestion of Gram Parson's "She" and we're also going to add Albert Collins' "I Ain't Drunk" with me singing to the set list. The next gig is at a beloved local icehouse on Sat. Jan. 23rd. DA had wanted me to go with him and his family to his cousin's wedding that day but his cousin was being completely weird and ridiculous about him bringing a date; anyway that's moot since I now have the gig which takes precedence over everything. We have another gig coming up on Sat. Feb. 6 and I am a little concerned b/c it's an afternoon gig and conceivable both Stefano and DA could come and I don't want that. But as always, I won't worry about that 'til it gets here.

I miss both my men, but they are constantly texting/calling me. Yesterday I was texting both of them literally at the same time which was a little bizarro. I am thinking of making an appt. with my therapist in order to work out some head stuff I still may have that needs working out re: my transition period. Or--I could just read some of the many books I have on the subject that I have not yet had time to read!

So my upcoming week and weekend looks like this: rehearsal tomorrow night again (I know I had decided to keep rehearsing to once/week but I actually suggested another rehearsal this week b/c I want to be SOLID for our upcoming gig--there's my classical music/perfectionist background rearing its head) after which I will meet up w/Stefano once his UT/Alabama football game is over. He took Friday off from work and I am working from home on Friday so that worked out well! Friday night we're going to one of our local blues bars for a concert/birthday celebration for a local 80-yr old blues piano legend. Saturday a.m. he is taking me to my 1st ever Bar Mitzvah and I am pretty excited about that! Then we will spend the day together until he has to get ready for his gig that night. At which time I will make more sausage balls by popular request from DA and his parents, go pick up DA if he is still not cleared to drive (he has a court date tomorrow) and then we will spend Saturday night-Sunday night together at my place. Fun certainly IS the best thing to have!
