A Cautionary Tale of a Life Lived with the Minimum of Rational Discretion

I feel so empty, so sad....I am without my blog. Oh well I'm trying to get my new web site setup on a Virtual Host and then in the meanwhile I am tinkering with a Non-Virtual Host for a place to store images to use on this site - right now I'm not sure if that works or not because the IMG SRC tag doesn't seem to be sourcing the images I've added to my template unless I'm on looking at it on my machine (which leads me to believe that they are just cached on my system...it's hard to try to be your own webmaster when your horsing around during your spare time at work.

UGH - I ate Krispy Kreme today - that has to merit at least 3 extra sets of stomach at the gym tonight.

This town is grey and dreary again - man, I want to be back in the Arizona sunshine with my boy.

OK - I'm happy to say I was a hit with Mom and Sis...have I sealed the deal as the perfect son-in-law - nah, doubt it - guess I feel like I'll always be walking on egg shells (I mean do they even comprehend what I do to their son behind closed doors??), I imagine that his mom thinks that we sleep in seperate beds ala Ricki and Lucy.

The sister still doesn't know the purpose of meeting me - she thinks I'm his buddy. The best part though was when she told her mother that she suspected that my boyfriend's roomate was 'gay', when the mother inquired about me - she said "Oh God no - there's no way that he's gay".

Hmmmm - if she only realized I went shopping hours before to have the 'just right' look for the perfect S.I.L. (in this case - worn Big Star Jeans, a plain A&F shirt and Red-Striped Adidas Sneaks...I looked like I had just gotten done with my paper route).

Do straight guys freak out this much when they meet their girlfriends parents ?

Wow - do I feel duped
