Song in my mind ~ Naked - The BoDeans

Still no high speed internet…. So… yikes a lot has happened….

Alex Bay was FABULOUS, prefect weather and view. Paul was performing (old band mate) at Bonnie Castle and I got up and did a few songs with him. Food was excellent. Meet up with the cute locals during the pirate invasion that I haven’t seen in 5 years.. still cute, but having the same problem as me… the years tends to be tough on mid areas haha… It was so fun and relaxing being by the St. Lawrence. I want to live up there some day. Still looking for that perfect island, out of the one thousand up there.

Although on Saturday I got a phone call from a date that I had in May. He’s stranded in Oklahoma and was having a very rough time… so of course I couldn’t say… “Have fun, nice talking to you, bye.”…. I indeed sprung into action and spent $350 to get his butt home. Stupid, I know, but it made me feel good that I was able to do good, however knowing that in the end it was pointless… But how could I say no, I was blessed to be able to go on vacation in one of my favorite places, I can’t say no in that situation. He was just going to use me. But as the “LB” found out, there is a limit, and now I have two people at or passed that limit. Theres that saying… if you loan a friend $20 dollars, and you never see that friend again, it was probably the best $20 you ever spent.

That gets me up to 2 Sundays. That Wednesday the fire dept got called to a MVA (car crash) It was only 200 yards from my house so I unfort was first on scene, and found the victim, and watched him pass. There was nothing I could do, he was trapped and I had no tools.. He was so young (early 20’s) He had his whole life ahead, and because it seems it was related to speed, one mistake, and that’s it…. Seemed so unfair, I had flash backs for a few days, and it reminded me of Jamie, it was tough. But it happens… So the week was looking bad, the whole rescuing the “don’t have a “NICKNAME yet”” and watching that young guy pass and being helpless. But that seemed to have changed.

Last Sunday I went to the company picnic, which I only did because I’m management, and kinda felt I needed to go, not that I’m unsocial, just oh usually in the past I was in A-Bay or working, but this year I went to A-Bay the week earlier so I did. Which I’m glad I did.

First thing I noticed was this couple, and of course… I’m like… great, cute young couple and I’m there alone… But then the shirtless lifeguards distracted me a little, but they all looked like they were babies.. So I just hung out at the picnic area. But then again I saw this couple walk past again well I was talking to a person from work, and she said who the one was, who I kinda met before, but at the time I thought he was like jail bait, so I kept a wide berth. The person from work stated he was in his 20’s (barely I found out later) But 20+ is ok. Haha…. Later I got the nerve to say hello, and we chatted, he told me rather quickly that there was an issue with the partner, and well… (I just requested him to add me on myspace as a friend… SO I need to be careful to what I say…. Haha.) But we’ve been txting ever since. I don’t know how it happened, cause I was sure I would not be his type, But yesterday I asked him out to dinner on Friday and he said yes. So wow.. Did not see this coming from “ A Company Picnic” but its nice just the same. But then again its only dinner. But I have just really enjoyed the txt’s… so thats good enough.

Work has been really busy, I’ve had to be a “manager” in a role twice this week that I would rather not have to be.. But… it happens from time to time. Guess that’s it. I’m on-call next weekend so I’ll update ya later.

Best,
