A Week in the Life...

What a week this has been for me!

I spotted no bed bugs after inspecting. I did get a change of hotels so I could be with everyone else when one VIP cancelled his room. You know it wasn't any more special than any other hotel room.

I was very lazy starting Thursday. I haven't had much time at home so I was pretty much was in front of the tv just hanging for most of the long weekend. I wanted to accomplish stuff, but the energy disappeared. Life in the Snuggie was much more appealing

I did take the Vespa out for a ride. At that point I racked up 30 miles. I also discovered 30 mph can be very fast. Hmmm...in my car that would have to be 130 for me to say that. Well, I laid the bike over doing a right hand turn. This time no damage to the bike other than scratched chrome on the mirror. Myself, well, I have some interesting shades of blue and feel like I did a really good workout. Ah, more reason to be a lazy bum.

Later that evening I think I had a date. Yes, I'm horrible at dating. My last relationship ended September 2008, and not really much happening since then. We have a Facebook mutual friend (a coworker of his), the dude that cuts my hair knows him, and I think one of my best friends sorta knows him. I haven't felt the need to really start finding out what I can on the 'net to see if he is married, a sex offender, or something - and I've never fel the need to pay to have a background done on any guy I've ever dated. He seems to be a nice, safe guy. We've gone out twice and he has paid for everything and hasn't even tried to hold hands. He is great to talk to, and we both enjoy movies and triva. I'm trying not to rush it and let things develop organically.

I'm being myself. I've tried to pay and might have to be a bit sneaky. I'm not used to a guy being nice to me. We will see what happens. I'm in new territory.

Sunday, I walked out an a weir. I had no idea what a weir was until seeing it. It is a dam in a river. The river was low so I could walk over it. Normally there is water going over it and if you are boating you are suppose to remove your boat and relaunch on the other side. The river is said to have strong current but it was hard to believe until we approached the seperation area where water was rushing. That was pretty impressive. I'll need to go out there and check out more sunsets. That was an enjoyable thing to do with my mom and the Boston Terrorist.

I started off Monday by dropping the work cell phone in the toilet. Well, I'm going to get another one - just not sure if it will be one that is currently there or if they will order me what they are moving to. I hope it is a new one. I'm just happy I don't have to use a toilet phone. My joke is calling it the Bat Phone because it rarely rings but when it does...

Sweet Little Lies

Yesterday I just finished a book that was filled with lies. It was about a 12-year-old girl who lies about being friends with a classmate that died in the first chapter. She also lies about various members of her family. The town is suppose to be fairly small at least the side she lives on and I kept thinking that someone would call her out - and that never happened.

This got me to thinking about lies and lying. I will be honest I'm a horrible liar. All you have to do is see my face to know if I'm telling you the truth. Most of my lies involve pranks so I'm usually trying not to giggle.

Is there a difference between lying and not saying something? I personally think it depends on what you are leaving out of the story.

I'm not a fan of being lied to either. I dated a guy a few years ago that I met though a mutal friend. It was going to be a long distance relationship so I firmly believed we needed to cut though the BS and be totally if not brutally honest with each other. With much discussion with the mutual friend the guy isn't honest with himself. The ex isn't too happy with the mutual friend having both sides of the story. Needless to say the mutual friend finds a lot of similarities in his reasons for breaking up with some great women - and realizes it might be more of the friend than the girl.

I know there is being nice - but don't lie about it. I hate it when I meet a guy that I think we really hit it off and never hear from him again. A guy from a couple weeks ago I looked at his Facebook page, while most of it was private there was a girl in the picture. He certainly didn't act like he had a girlfriend.

Awhile back I saw a stand-up comedian. She was talking about being at a bar and it is about closing time and she's drunk. She can start flirting with this guy and go home with him, or she can go home alone and get a DUI. Her thoughts: You can always lie about a one night stand, but you can't lie about a DUI - that goes on your record.
