After finally getting over the crud I decided to call my friend Andy that is home visiting. He left on Friday, so that was my last chance to see him for a while. After picking up my brother from wrestling practice, I went to his mom's house to see him. It was a nice visit and I really enjoyed seeing him. It has been 10+ years since I have seen him and he has not changed one bit. Still the same guy he always has been. He is living out in LA working for an Insurance company and writes poetry and music on the side. He has had his poetry published in a book and has had his music recorded. No, he is not gay, he has a thing for Asian women (he is half Korean, like me) :o) It was great to see him and it brought back a lot of memories of us in high school, we never dated (I do not think that Asian guys are good looking and it would feel like incest) but we hung out a lot and we did go to dances together, as friends, and we always looked out for one another. My senior year he moved to Chicago and did modeling up there. Now he is out in LA... Hubby did not get to meet him, but hopefully Andy will get to meet him then.
There is one thing that I do not understand about men... My hubby thinks because I was friends with guys in high school that I must have had a thing for them, dated them, slept with them... My thing is... It IS possible to JUST be friends with a guy!!! MOST of my friends from high school were guys. I did not have all that many girlfriends because I did not like them, they are mean, backstabbing, whining b*tches. I prefered to hang out with the guys. They were a lot more fun than most of the girls that wanted to go to the mall and paint their nails and googoo gaa gaa over guys. I did have girlfriends in high school but they were more like me, did not care about primping in front of a mirror for hours on end, talking about boys for hours on end. I had boyfriends in school, not a lot, but a few. I was a band geek and I know it, but us band geeks hung out and had a great time. :o) (Yes, I went to band camp, 2 times to be exact:o) ) I was not a slut, I did not sleep with whatever guy walked my way... I just had a lot of guy friends and loved it that way. I just do not understand a guys way of thinking. I do not think that the guys I hung out with thought up ways to nail me... we were just friends, hung out, played volleyball, football, watched movies and talked for hours on end, went to parties like everyone else. What is wrong with that? They looked out for me and I always helped them out of girl situations they did not want to be in or have :o)
Oh, well. Since I have been sick I have managed to find a little time to read. Hubby has been sick too and we have been juggling the kids together and it has given me a little time to catch up on reading. I read Jonathan Kellerman's Flesh and Blood, Janet Evanovich's One for the Money and Tami Hoag's Ashes to Ashes. Hubby bought me the second in the key Trilogy of Nora Roberts and I bought the first one in the Trilogoy yesterday so that I could start on that and I also got Dan Browns Digital Fortress. I would love to get Dan Brown's Davinci Code, but that is on my waiting list :o) My best friend also lent me Postmortem, Body of Evidence, All That Remains, Cruel and Unusual, and Body Farm... all by Patricia Cornwell, along with The Red Room by Nicci French and Night Whispers by Judith McNaught. So, I have some reading materials for the next month or more. :o)
The Flesh and Blood by Jonathan Kellerman was ok, it took me some time to get into it and it had its slow points and fluff that could have been left out. I skipped paragraphs and was not lost at all going on. It had a lot of loose ends that would have been better off being better described and some of it would have been better off being left out all together. Janet Evanovich's One for the money was a good one. She has a lot of books in that series, I read the fourth one, not knowing it was part of a series and have started from the beginning so that I can read it in order (I am anal that way) and Ashes to Ashes was a really good suspense one. I did not figure out the killer to the end and that was a nice change :o) I have also read Tami Hoags A Thin Dark Line, which was a really good book too. She knows how to write books :o)
I will update and I go through the rest of the books. Hubby did get me a romance, not realizing it was a romance (he recognized the author as one that I liked and picked it up without reading about it) called Lawless by Nora Roberts and it was ok. I am not big into romance, but it was an easy read and I did not want to not read it :o) Especially since my hubby was thoughtful and bought it for me :o)
On to sports... This is a Bye week for the Rams, which is a good thing, Good Luck to OU in the Sugar Bowl!!! WHOOO HOO that the Cowboys are out of the playoffs!!! :o) and that is about it for me :o) Other than... RAMS BETTER GO ALL THE WAY!!!! :o) I want to see them win the SUPER BOWL AGAIN!!! :o)
