maybe i should get out more
So last night I got totally stir crazy and thought, That is it, I am going into town to one of the local watering holes and probably I will know someone there. [Odds are. I did go to highschool here.] And if not oh well it will be fine I will hear chitchat and see life that is more than growing poison oak and dogs and that might be a good thing.
So I hopped in the car and drove into town and --
The whole street was lined with Harley Davidsons and people in leather were spilling out of every watering hole in the town and I thought, Yipes!
And drove to the office and drank a beer and watched Jaws instead.
So today I run into a girlfriend at the grocery store and it is [I forgot about this] "The 25th Annual Redwood Run."
"Redwood Run" is a huge bike fest. [Which explains all the bikes.] And also is supposed to be fun.
So I have orders now to head into town some time tonight to try to meet up.
But I am not sure that is a good idea.
I have this calamitous history with men. Everyone who knows me knows it is a calamitous history too but I have not been around here in a very long while and so they do not know how I get into these calamitous situations they just know I do and I think people figured I am some sort of femme fatale party girl when really I am a workaholic and almost never go out and I do not know how I get into these sitches but there I am, I just do, and they are calamitous.
Always.
[Also I have a calamitous effect ON men and that started when I was twelve which made people twitch A LOT, some of them being family and all.]
Anyway.
When I got here people were giving me the eye. Saying, "Now behave." And I was like, "Yeah yeah yeah, show me the office." But over the last month, there has been this change in attitude. At first it was, Well keep an eye on her she might get into trouble. And then it was, So how are things going any plans? And I would start talking about the office and work and they would say, "SOCIAL PLANS?" And now I am getting, "Um, maybe you should GET OUT MORE."
Someone even offered to learn how to medicate the dogs so I could "GET OUT MORE."
And today my very own mother told me MEN will be in town during this Redwood Run thing. And maybe I should GO OUT. And I said, "Um, they looked sort of scary, Mom." And she said, "Oh they are not scary, I saw one of those nice men on motorcycles stop to take pictures of seals and I overheard one talking about his mother they are nice boys."
Gadzooks. My mother is hinting I should go meet men.
On Harleys?
That so cracks me up.
Love and Kisses,
Your Maybe I Should Get Out More Adams Girl
P.S. I am typing this at 9 pm on a Friday night. At the office. Hmm.
P.P.S. Oh. My. God. If I am actually going out I have to put on make up. Help!
