Saw 1100 springs last night - good as always, anniversary dinner and mom in town this weekend.

friend of friend going through a breakup fell apart last weekend.
It starts when we went out for St. Paddy's day  - it was packed (and gradually louder) - we move to the house...and lord the poor girl...she broke down.
She'd been with the guy for 1.5 years...he decides to tell her he doesn't want to get married and doesn't want kids, she's shocked. She broke up with him because she desperately wants kids.

So...I mean I've only really been in one relationship for my adult life but... pretty sure a person in a relationship gives signs, you just sometimes choose to not see them or believe them.

In an effort to try to change the subject - i asked if she was going to her 20 year high school reunion. "No! I'm single and have no children!", she cried....*sigh*

Night after Night - Lauren Blakely - it's a teaser to try to buy more...i didn't/won't.

so we more 1100 springs

apparently I'm going to the Tech game tonight for March Madness - Jamie  (with his algorithms and spreadsheets) scoffed at my basketball picks - even though I picked the winners the last two years! Such a snob...

and i don't get the old timers mocking of kids walking out of class to protest gun violence yesterday?
I mean yeah pretty sure some just wanted to get out of school, but I think it is important to take these kids seriously. It's not the same world as before...nobody older than 38 ever had the thought in their head that there's a chance they'd get shot/killed while they were in school...put yourselves in their shoes.

Anyway - we crashed a Shakespeare pub crawl in Deep Ellum on Saturday -  Fun! I think they even got Jamie interested - I'm gonna check in on their plays.
Then we bar hopped. started talking to a guy at a bar that graduated from my same high school two years behind me. Didn't know him but it never fails, if a person tells you they're from El Paso....you can pretty much bet they're gonna be pretty cool.

Marriage of Inconvenience - good as always...it just felt kinda one-sided. 
and i'm on a re-read kick Remembrance and Psy-changeling...

so...fun times...we were non-stop last weekend.
Turnpike Troubadours with Son Volt Friday...again, "once we just get the energy to drag ourselves to get there, we never regret it". They need to figure out rates though, I only was persuaded cause I found a groupon.

Saturday -  got pulled into L&W texas independence day with the friends round 3p - the W's got in a mega fight after she had a little too much to drink. They've been training for a marathon/torture fest though...both have minimal body fat...the alcohol shot straight through..oy.
We've all been there.
Well the too much to drink/too little food part, I've never had a problem with the body fat part.
Needless to say - we left early.

Sunday we headed down to Bishop Arts - cause why not....and yes Sunday morning is the best time I've had there...otherwise it's complete chaos. Then lunch with Jamie's old co-worker.

Besides that - again distracted.
primary day - don't think I've social media'd like I social media'd. Doubly resolved.
I've written to the national and state D party to get their act together. And never lower to the nastiness and wasteful spending I had to witness among the R's in my district. It was so gross. 

Going to the dem gals member meeting tonight -way the f up in McKinney...ugh.
But I'm off tomorrow - might check out a Shakespeare pub crawl saturday, otherwise blessedly no plans. Declined a daytrip adventure with the M's....

Books:
Badd Ass - ex seal meets "just for right now" girl - Jasinda Wilder - yes ok. I just miss connection as always with her story.
#2 Maya Rodale Wallflower gone wild book - no nonsense gossiped meets almost shelved who kind of rebels - liked the #1 better.
#3 Maya Rodale Wallflower - both with secrets...liked the evolution of character but nothing lasting.

and Son Volt!
When the hours don't move along
Worn-out wood and familiar songs
To hear your voice is not enough
It's more than a shame
Can you deny
There's nothing greater
Nothing more
Than the traveling hands of time
St. Genevieve can hold back the water
Saints don't bother 
With the-tear stained eye
Like a man said
Rode hard and put away wet
Throw away the bad news
Put it to rest
