shades of gray

i played hooky on friday.
it was great. not that i did anything exciting, or really anything at all...
but i was not at work.
slept in, did a little shopping...
drank some beers and ended up going to a hockey game.
good times.

oh - happy birthday courtney. even if i am a day late. (i did call)
and happy birthday crystal.

saturday is where my weekend got rather interesting.
so we go out on saturday night. crystals b-day (see above) so we all get together. all is myself, two other friends and a couple. funny thing is the couple is a great couple, but not so much married to each other. but, married to other people.
first bar we stop at, they run into a co-worker.
and the subterfuge begins.

i have always said - rather adamantly actually - that i had a zero tolerance policy on cheating. i have found over the last year, my perspective has changed a bit. there are very few absolutes anymore. and i still know that if someone cheated on me... that would be it. out the door, thanks for playing, have a nice life.
i also believe that i am strong enough to know that if i were to get dangerously close to that situation, i would have enough respect for myself and whomever i was in a relationship with to end it before acting out.
easier typed than done.
i guess i would not want to be considered an accomplice to this whole thing, but in a way, i really am.
ugh. moral dilemma.


so i started spring cleaning this weekend.
and it snowed today
we are under a winter weather warning. offices are closing and i am still here.
but back to the cleaning. got in one of those moods where you just need to throw stuff away.
and i did.
i still have two closets to go through, but i am making progress.
feels good to get rid of crap you know you don't 1) need or 2) use.

i ran into a old co-worker on my day off. he is doing an online paper and looking for an advice columnist.
he thought i would be good at it.
while i am sure that DSM could use a little Sex in the City type shake up, i am not sure the good folk are ready to hear what i have to say.
we will see. although one would have to be having sex in this city to write about sex in the city.
i am already screwed.
pun intended.

out.
gonna use the weather as a reason to bust out, hit the gym and move forward on my spring/late snow cleaning.
plus the new Average Joe: Adam is on tonight.
glutton for punishment after watching the other two.
pathetic.
