Drinking and usernames

As per usual, work absolutely kicked my ass this week.  Every second I feel like I'm swimming against the current.  But hey, I made it through another week!  Yay me!  Friday night found me meeting my friend Laura after work and then my former boss met up with us after a bit.  I work with nearly all men, so it was so nice just to get out with the girls.  We had some great laughs.  It had been a long week, and I was wanting to get home early, to spend some time with the family.  Marie and I left and she says, "isn't that Adam?"  Too funny...directly
across the street from our local watering hole is a golf course.  4 of my coworkers were over there, so crossed the street and chatted them up on the course.  While we were there, another coworker called to see if I were still out and said he would come meet up with me.  I think I've mentioned him on here before, we call him "F."  His name is Phil, but for whatever reason when he first started I'd introduce he as "Phil with an F."  He's a super smart kid and in his early 20's.  We just click.  Anyway, so there went my plan to leave early.  We hung out for a while, and he was cracking me up.  He was telling me about...oh crap, what's it called...face chat or crap....I'll have to look at my phone. 
Apparently I was the last to hear about this app.  It allows you to send video or pictures texts of sorts, but they disappear after a certain amount of time that you've picked (like 5 or 10 seconds).  He was telling me that you basically text by this app now, in lieu of regular texts. He said if someone asks you a question, you respond with a picture of you shrugging your shoulders or what have you. Sounds like a riot.  I guess there's some more motivation to lose weight. I told him I would have to use my dog Jesse for all of mine.  Anyway, he talked me into putting the app on my phone, and it makes you choose a username. Now let me tell you....I know better than to choose a username after having a couple of drinks.  I'm forever  "fingerlickinggood" on my cousin's in-laws football pool.  Yeah, it was funny to me and Brian (2 years ago) when I set it up while we were deep into a night at Buffalo Wild Wings.  But in the light of day...it's quite embarrassing.  So, oh yeah, it's called "snapchat."  I was thinking of all of our famous Jeff Gordon cutout photos, while choosing my name. 
"Inappropriatejw" is now my user name....funny at the time, but when I
look at all of my contacts (pulled over I think from fb), their names are like,
sarasmom, just their name, or some other respectable username.  And then there's me....now forever linked to my stupid name. Well, maybe not....  Maybe I can change it?  I guess I need to add, don't choose public usernames to things I shouldn't do while drinking.  Damn, that list is getting long!  After drinking water for a couple of hours, I decided it was time to finally go home, once again, as I'm leaving a couple more friends from work came in.  I stayed a while to visit with them, but I was responsible and stuck to the water.  It turned out to be a really fun way to end the work week from hell.  We all kind of feel the same about things, so it's good to have ppl who understand what work is doing to you.  I think our plant single handedly keeps the IL state lotto in business.  We all keep dreaming!

This morning, Ryne had to be at the ball fields an hour and a half before the game.  Brian went too, as he's the asst coach.  Cal and I took Jesse out for a walk this morning before heading off to the games.  What a gorgeous day! 
Perfect day to take in some baseball.  Ryne is finally really starting to enjoy playing this season.  He esp loves that Brian is coaching.  And let me tell you, Brian absolutely loves coaching.  He's so good with the kids!  I love watching him coach, as he's just really, really happy. Ryno's playing first base, and I've been really impressed with his play  this season.  He's always been a good hitter, but he's never been a great fielder. This season, it's all opposite. His hitting is missing..but hopefully he finds it soon.  He did get an RBI today, though.  He was so happy.  Oh man, their team is pretty terrible, though. 
I think they're 0-4.  It's going to be a long season!  Cal is also playing.  He really is loving it.  He got an infield hit the other day, and he literally jumped up and down on first base with his hands in the air.  The crowd loved it.  He gets such support from the parents.  His expressions are usually so deadpanned, that it's awesome when he gets excited. On the downside, he gets super pissed when things don't go their way.  They aren't very good, so I'm thinking we are going to see his ugly side a time or two.  Haha.  A chip off the old block as they say.

So, it's Sat night, and I'm typing this blog, while listening to the Air Supply station on Pandora. It's my new fave station.  I'm not in any sort of mood, where this type of music is having an emotional impact on me or anything. 
I seriously just like turning it up and singing along.  The only drawback, is there's maybe a little too much Peter Cetera for my liking.  I'm not a big fan of his solo stuff, unless it's The Next Time I Fall (In Love) which is playing now. 
It's nice and quiet down in the living room, as Brian's asleep.  Caleb does keeps coming down every few minutes to relay some NASCAR facts or talk about the tablet that I just ordered for him (he saved his own money for it), though. A breeze if finally starting to come through the open windows and cool the house down.  Really, it's been a wonderful day.  I'm looking forward to more of the same tomorrow.  

I hope this weekend is bringing you all much happiness.  It's there for our taking.  We (myself included...) just need to keep remembering that and living in the present. Here's to a weekend full of self awareness, love, and forgiveness where needed.


Love,


Jen


Here's a little Air Supply for ya.  You know you want to crank it up.  Go on, "you can do it!"


I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you
till it hurts
I know you hurt too, but what else can we do?
Tormented
and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile in my heart
For
times when my life seems so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow
could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know


  I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right,
believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I
can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back
and carry me home
Away from these long lonely nights
I'm reaching for
you, are you feeling it too?
Does the feeling seem oh so right?


  What would you say, if I called on you now
Saying that I can't hold on

There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be
gone... I'll be gone

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

  I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am
I without you?
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

What
are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
What are you thinking
of?
What are you thinking of?

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost
without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I'm all out of
love, what am I without you?
I can't be too late, I know I was so wrong


I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right
believing for so long
I'm all out of love, what am I without you?
I
can't be too late, I know I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so
lost without you
I know you were right, believing for so long
I'm all
out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so
wrong
