holiday weekend musings

Just about the time I'm out getting some summer on me, I find that summer is once again, almost over. Labor Day weekend. Traditionally the time of no more white shoes, white bags, and skinny dipping trips..well maybe not the last one. Rules of fashion, or even seasons, don't hold as much weight as they used to. Maybe because it's too hot in Texas to worry about the not white shoes, only felt cowboy hats kind of thought. It's a rainy day in Texas today, and that's ok, I don't feel as guilty about not getting something accomplished on this holiday. I may not have gotten the yard mowed, or the leaves swept off the porch, but I have a clean house and clean clothes, and a new blog entry to show for the weekend. Sunday and Monday are my days off anyway. I would almost forget about it being a holiday, except that I can't find a place to have a manicure today, everything is closed.
I feel pretty shallow blogging about a manicure on this day of rest for the American worker, but not shallow enough to worry much about it. I take my small joys where I can, and having a nice mani is one of them.
Speaking of small joys, since moving 6 months ago (has it really been that long?) I've established a very happy life. Great place, great job, a few friends..but no love interest. I didn't really think I was looking till I looked up, and 6 months had passed and I was running low on the love and affection meter. By low I mean nada, none, no love. I obviously don't write a sex blog, so I'll leave out details, but it took one good roll in the hay to make me miss really good sex. Well, sex at all really. I've never been much for such of the casual nature. And, someone significant in your life is never a bad thing.
I'm most certainly not one of those women who are seeking out a man, single mindedly trying to reach a goal. Nah, I'm more just keeping my eyes open.
All this story to say, as part of my small joys, I think I'm adopting a new dog. My sweet Gertie is lonely too these days, and I would like to fix that for her. I"m looking at another Boston Terrier, as I do love them. Besides, I like things to match!
Now, if adopting a man were that easy....
