Out Of The Closet

Blog-ically speaking!

Told one of my former clients turned new friend about my blog tonite. You know how you get to the point where you trust someone and feel comfortable letting them know more about your personal life...quirks, foibles and massive love for CD’s aside? So I reached that point tonite and now Joyce knows what blogs are and that I have one.

Scott suggested the title of the post and I had to run with it.

My day after work was memorable and expensive! Helped my buddy Tom get his brand new iBookG4 and suggested he throw in the 60GBIPod as well. HE LISTENED TO ME! SWEET!! What a wise man!

Then he cracked that thanks to me, this is the most money he’s ever spent in one day. He joked on the way out of the Apple store that this was just a warm-up to the house he’s getting ready to buy over the next month. Told him I’d go with him to his closing and that way he could blame me for his iBook, IPod and house purchase, all wrapped into one. It’s so fun to go shopping with me...honest!

We got back to his truck (we drove separately since I was meeting Joyce for dinner) and then I proceeded to do what I’ve been wanting to do ever since the first weekend I met Tom over 5 years ago...got him to hand over ALL his CD’s to me so I could download them into my iPod. Finally, the wait paid off!

He drove me over to Crepes and Crepes on 3rd and I forget what street and we had beers while we waited for Joyce to show. Joyce showed, Tom split for his dinner date, then Joyce and I had one of the best meals I’ve had since moving to Denver.

The Margarita Crepe (Romaine, Tomatoes, Bacon and Buffalo Mozzarella) followed by a Blueberry and Banana Crepe for dessert. Great food, fantastic conversation and we sat outside on the patio. Towards the end it got a tad chilly but overall, what a beautiful night to be eating outside.

Joyce and I decided that we’re doing this once a month, which would be way way cool. Next time, we’re gonna try a quick after work hike since it will be daylight savings time. Yay, a chance to try out my new hiking boots!

Now, I’m kicking back in bed, listening to Ween 'Quebec' on my Ipod (absolutely KILLER CD),iBook on my lap, downloading ALL of Tom’s CD’s into my iTunes. We’ll finish setting up his new iBook tomorrow after I finish work.

Apples, CD’s, Blueberries and Banana’s.

What a tasty day!

I find it really hard to tell people about my website, even close friends and family.

I am not really sure why but I worry that they will think I am just totally insane and should shut up.

Didn't tell any of my family about my blog for the first 6 months. Then told everyone. At first, my Dad said that I used 'too many 4 letter words'. Told him if it bothered him, he needed to stop reading. I said it with a smile in my voice, of course...that always makes the difference. He laughed and said 'good for you, for standing up for yourself'.

Then he stopped reading.

As far as I know, my sister Kelly and my cousin Bill are the only family members that read. Several of my FL and CA friends read on a daily basis.

Basically, I'm an open book and write about 95% of what's going on in my life.

With time, I've started to censor my thoughts less and open up more. Sometimes good, sometimes not. Since starting this blog, I've only erased 3 posts after the fact (and one was the other night cause I was in a very bad place when I wrote it).

As for what other people think of me and what I say? I could care less. Always try not to offend friends or family or divulge too personal info, but other than that, what ya see (read) is what ya get.
