I am Woman, hear me roar!!

Last night after I attended a Junior League function at the Capitol and schmoozing with all my old legislator pals, I came home, went for a brisk walk, y'all know I don't run (unless of course I'm being chased), got back home, did some yoga and went back to the task of getting ready for my momma's visit.. In the guest room I had this beautiful wooden antique day bed that was in my great-grandmother's house. It looked so cute in there but was simply not practical for overnight guests. My momma, b/c she is tiny is about the only person that can sleep in that bed comfortably.. So anyone over 110 pounds and over 5'5 is just stuck with the couch downstairs... The bed is in 4 pieces the, two rails, headboard and footboard, it's acually very easy to put together and take apart...

I had decided that I wanted to put my futon in the guest room, to make it more user friendly. The futon was up in my attic, it had been taken apart and lovingly put up there by my main gay D. This gay man can do it all, shop with me, help me paint and fix things!! That's why he's my "main gay"... Well I had been putting off getting the futon out of the attic b/c there was so much work to be done in the guest room. Essentially that room had been designated the "junk room" for about a year now, so I had to do a lot of cleaning out before I could do anything... So finally I got the room cleaned out, and I couldn't call my main gay D b/c it was too late last night, so I decided to take the day bed apart myself, put it in the attic and get the futon out of the attic myself. AND I DID IT!! The day bed is tucked away nicely in the attic and the futon is in the guest room.. Now putting it back together is another thing but it's in there nonetheless. I had such a feeling of accomplishment!! I did it all on my own without the help of a man!! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a femi-nazi or anything like that, I would have much rather a man been there to help me or just do it for me instead... I'm independent but I'm not stupid!

Another funny tidbit... I mentioned earlier my Junior League event at the capitol last night and schmoozing with all my old politico buddies, well there was one guy in particular I was visiting with that really got my attention. We'll call him C.. C and I worked together a couple of years ago, he was an intern, really sweet and SOOOOO cute!! I guess he's about 3 or 4 years younger than me.. Anyway, he went to work for another department and we kind of lost touch.. no biggie really.. Butlast night I run into him and he chatted for about 15 minutes, I asked him what was new, his response, nothing really... He kept telling me how great I looked (yes, I have slimmed down, and my hair is a lot longer) and kept on and on about it.. Ok, I get it, I look different, thanks.. So we parted ways, I went to talk to someone else, C was still about 6-7 feet from me, I kept looking over my shoulder at him and he was still looking at me.. This happened about 5-6 more times, so I know it wasn't my imagination.. C was totally giving me the eye and checking me out!! SWEET! So I asked my friend M who knows everything about everyone on the hill about him... I told her I had forgotten how cute C was, she smiled and said yeah, you should probably forget that b/c he's engaged!! WHAT!!! We talked, I asked him what was new, and his response, nothing much?!! WHATEVER!! When I get engaged, I want the first words out of my fiancee's mouth to be, I'M ENGAGED- especially when greeting a woman he hasn't seen in about two years... Just thought that was funny...

Love y'all more than my luggage!!
