l Weekend update with Angel S. l

I can't even begin to count how many drinks I had Friday night. I am positive I had 2 glasses of wine with dinner & 5 rum & cokes [more like a splash for color] once I got to the dance club but after that I can't remember a moment without a drink in my hand. There were shots involved so I've been told, numerous shots. We went to Cafe Brazil afterwards to try to sober me up. I drank a cup of coffee and decided that was enough so I got up to leave. My dear friend Peppermint Patty was my escort and apparently we sat in her car for about an hour while I tried to convince her that I was good to drive an hour home. Thankfully my speech was so impaired I made no sense and she decided to be a great friend and drive my ass home, about 30 minutes past her own place in Arlington.

I found out the next day, while I was severely hurting from drinking way too much and not once getting sick [a good thing but had I tossed a few cookies I may have felt better, it's questionable], that not only did I make out with a few girls but I disappeared, or kept disappearing with one of them. Thankfully I, for some odd reason, decided that I was a text-messaging queen and my cell phone was not out of my hands for more then a minute. You know you've been a social butterfly when you have 10 text messages all asking, "Where are you?" and by the same person, Peppermint Patty.

She was sweet enough to use her break in between her boys football games to take me all the way back to Dallas get my car so I could make it to my family bday dinner on time. Of course I gave her gas money, that was a long way and she deserved much more then I could give her for saving my life! There is no way on gawd's green earth that I could have successfully driven home.

My exgf showed up with her gf of almost 2 yrs. She has gained a bit of weight but it looks good on her & her gf is absolutely beautiful. I really got along well with her gf too. I am so happy for her, well for both of them.

I've got all my financial debt stuff added up & deposited the 25k into my checking account. That is all I am allowing myself to spend on paying off debts, my dental and 20k for my MINI. Anything over the 20K for the MINI I will finance. That will more then likely only be around 5K or a little more but that will definitely keep my payments really low and plus it will positively effect my credit report. The rest of it I am going to keep in the mma and let it accrue interest until I find a house to buy.

I could easily blow the rest of frivolous stuff but I promised I wouldn't do that. I might buy a new bed [that sleep number one] or a computer but other then that I really shouldn't splurge. It would be best used for a house, my future.

Now if I don't use all the 5k for debts [since my debts are less then 1.5, not counting my Dad] and dental then I might but it would be good to keep the extra there as a buffer, extra money to just sit on and know that I am not living directly paycheck to paycheck [in my case week by week].

My job here has been turned upside down. Since I have a new boss I received a 'job description' that includes a grading system. I was suggested to wear blush since my complexion is so pale and told that I should start wearing my hair down and 'styled'. That's what they want. No more hair up in a twist or bun; clean, down & styled. After almost being here a fucking year I am now under micromanagement. Talk about a load of shit. But my raise depends on this damn signed agreement. Fucking bullshit.

I'm so burnt out on this position. I need to get moved and moved soon before I snap. That would not be good. A friend of mine told me to find a new job but I don't want to do that. If I leave here I will be leaving to move back to CA and that is not happening anytime soon.

I did buy those hot curlers last night at wally wally. They are not that bad but this all means that I need to get to bed at a decent hour, which I simply cannot do, and wake up w/ plenty of time to really do shit to get ready. I need to be at work at a later time in the day to be able to do that on a daily basis. Being at the showroom would be perfect for me. The hours, everything would be perfect.
I think I've bitched enough. Time to get back to this shit hole.
