vanessa, possible dinner and/or drinks tonight? haven't seen you.

friday = bar america times. highlight of the night for me was effing chad trying to classify mine and kristopher's old relationship. what a tool! sometimes i forget that under chad's unemployment belt he has relationship expert. silly me.

friday = glad to see and be there for friends. it felt good.

yesterday was my parents 41st wedding anniversary. i ended up staying @ my parents and drinking till about 12:30 a.m. a very sleepy rose came home to a very wide-awake tom. sleepy rose slept.

tom just for left for austin. boo. work stuff. chef stuff. stuff stuff.

i am all alone @ the home so if anybody wants to do something today or get together i am free.

<3, rose

big move. little heart.

mood: cold
music: blood for blood

woke up to a cold yet sunny morning. feels good though i am still cold. finally managed to bring all my big furniture/things to tom's apartment. all i have left to bring is clothes and miscellaneous crap and i am all moved in. first entry posted from tom's apartment on my computer. ha.

tues. night headed out to old tin bar saloon and met up with vanessa and dave. tom then dragged me to downtown bars. i really hate techno. shiner bock can save the day.

yesterday was dreaded d-day where we moved. why do we have to live on the 3rd floor? sucks balls. i then managed to escape for a bit to watch alias. tom and i do not have cable nor do we catch any regular channels. stupid apartment.

i love living in downtown though. i grew up on this side so i am glad to have back the zip code i grew up with. we signed a lease for 6 months then in june we are moving to the cadillac lofts. the only thing that i hate about where we live is we are right across the street from santa rosa hospital and with the ambulances but even more those air-life helicopters. geezus. talk about no sleep. SHHHIIIIIIT! anyway, the middle school i went to in downtown shut it's doors forever. this happened awhile back but i got sad passing by my middle school and seeing it closed. boo. st. mary's school smack on st. mary's street. i wonder what's it's going to turn itself into: a trendy bar or an overpriced restaurant. stay tuned.

cold. cold. cold.

mood: very effing cold
music: bauhaus

texas weather. i am freezing. watch, in two days it will be in the 80's again. make up your mind. my ears are so cold right now that i am wearing a beret. come to think of it. who hasn't worn one of my berets?

there are those rare occassions when mr. koller surprises me. unexpected phone calls are the best. i am glad to know that he makes the effort to remain friends. the past two days have been filled with him text messaging and/or calling. then again i know him, so i won't get too used to this .......

spoke to a very hungover loritata this morning. it was amusing. i just looked at myself and i am dressed like a banshee. chai lattes are addicting so is thai iced tea. oh joy!

Sri Lanka.

NYE was good. spent it with loved ones. got to meet vanessa's boyfriend, whom is amazing.
i.am.so.happy.for.you.

Sat. Night lori and i cabbed it to boyfriend's restaurant acenar to try out their bar atomar. ladies in san antonio you MUST click on the link to atomar. they have vinatge movie tuesdays and sex & the city episodes wednesdays. my kind o' bar. who's down for checking it out one of those days?

(the rest of sat. night was spent pissed off and worried but it all worked itself out)

Thee Boyfriend and I now have babies. We bought parakeets for the home. I named my parakeet Lola, ( she was a showgirl with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there....) Tom named his Kang ( like Kangaroo) - l.a.m.e.

This morning I finally managed to drag myself to the DPS to renew my license. It has been expired for 6 months. I am now back to valid driver's license status. wow. unbelievable.

its always something -

i ate stuffing for breakfast. around 8:00 a.m.

tom is at work. am i a bad girlfriend for never having eaten @ the restaurant my boyfriend is a sous chef for? if anyone has been to acenar, lemme know what you think? does my boyfriend cook well? he makes real pretty dishes. (i have seen um' in the paper).

right now i got to go to daniela's house and fix her computer. it's going to take a good 4 hours i am sure. i am bringing her and her hubby some pan de dulce. mmmmmmm.

tonight = china latina with the ladies. no grackle munday. boo.

i have nothing else to type. my tummy hurts big time. love, me

so sleepy ....

have i mentioned how much i adore my boyfriend?

happy birthday to my bestest friendest on thee whole entire planet miss la la loritata

she is not a wee little sapling anymore but a mighty oak. (i'm getting all teary-eyed.ha.not.)

last night. fun. tom picked me up and took me out on a date. awwwww. gotta love the boyfriend. we hit up the movies and then food. met up with smidgey mcguire, erich, and lori @ bar america. the boys got to meet the tom and i think they liked him. we all sang lori (with the permission of martin) HAPPY BRITHDAY @ midnight. PEARL BEER AND LONE STAR BEER IS THE WAY TO DO IT.

needless to say lori turned into a drunky mc drunkster as she should.

the group decided to go end the night @ davenport but i was soooo tired. i just went back to tom's place and crashed. this morning he treated me to breakfast. awwwww. i am so happy.

this afternoon lori and i are going to see that movie, closer.

i adore heart love clive owen so i cannot wait to see this movie. i heart clive owen. :: swoon ::

texan and proud.

last night wasn't so pretty.

headed over to sanctuary to pick up kevin from 7 shot screamers. we then scooped up lori and headed to bar america to kill some time before the club opened. good conversation with damn good music.

headed back to club and got to spend time with the rest o' the boys. their show was good as usual. fat bottomed girls was the request of the night. i love the way they cover it. :)

vanessa and eva were in attendance. yaaaaaay.

walked out of the river city rebels show. fuck that band. no seriously, fuck that band. the singer made some remark about how they went to a border's book store here in san antonio and was shocked to see they had an actual reading section and that us texans knew how to read. then he made a couple of derogatory comments about texas women. that band can go suck a big fat dick and choke on it. i lost all respect for them......

mike, kevin, and chris all talked to me at seperate times and didn't want me to take it so seriously. i wasn't upset at them of course. i just wasn't in my normal happy-go-lucky self anymore.

i am very proud of being a texan. i really don't appreciate some fucking band stereotyping all us texans just because bush is from here. what a fucking waste of a real good band.

ended up leaving the venue. i had to leave cause as soon as they got off stage you know me. i would have cracked a couple of lone stars on someones head. told the screamer boys bye. told them to call me if they still needed a place to crash. (god bless matt shaw's heart for taking them in..) most of the guys seemed to understand and were cool with me leaving. mike seemed a bit angry about the whole thing. ( as in typical female going overboard)...

and that was my night.

quite the disappointment

tonight = the faint in austin with la la loritata.

dog days.

due to illness and a child's birthday party i didn't get to see alan this weekend. i hope i can be forgiven for being such a sickly person. :(

went to some stores to pay some overdue bills and it's crazy seeing san antonio people in hats, coats, gloves, and scarves. i have to admit though today feels EXACTLY how a regular winter day would feel. grey skies, constant drizzling, 50 degrees, the scent of wood burning, various christmas decor everywhere you turn. unfortunately, this weather brings back not so nice memories for me and leaves me unfulfilled, grumpy, and a bit sad. winter and i have never gotten along.

muchos gracias go out to lori and joe chopper for coming out to pia's 5th birthday party last night. the trivial pursuit 90's version is a bit overrated. i also overheard someone in my family name us girls the breeding stock since it was a battle o' the sexes type of game. i have the most awesome family on the planet. all my sisters and brothers all married with children. so much love.
true fact about my family: nobody in my family has ever gotten a divorce (this fact has been checked years back and years present and no divorces anywhere)...of course leave it to me to be the first divorcee in the family right?

one month until the lou comes crashing back into my life and turning my world upside down. december 13th doesn't seem so far away anymore. i tried to talk myself out of going to the show just to save some heartache but it's like a bad accident waiting to happen. once it's in front of your face, you just have to stop everything your doing, pull over, and go take a look.

i need a drink. i need pumpkinhead ale (tis' the season). i need some beer to warm me up. drinks. drinks. who's up for them? <3, rose
