OK, this just struck me as odd since I did the entry about ghosts and putting them to rest not too long ago...
I was at a 4th of July party Sunday (yay me! Munchkin stayed w/ the grandparents and I got to drink almost to my heart's content), and monday evening, after I was no longer feeling the effects of the party (what can I say, it was a good party) a couple things occurred to me.
1) I can definitely drink more than Tom, although in his defense, he has lost about 80 lbs since he really drank last.
2) Guys are a lot alike. Specifically, Adam is a lot like Tom. They both like to get their way or they get whiny, esp when it comes to sex and going to bed at night. Roni, Adam's girlfriend, was staying up at the party playing cards and told him she'd be to bed after that hand. An hour later, Adam got back up and started bitching to me that she was still playing cards, although now it was a drinking game she'd instigated.
Funny, thinking about it later I had to laugh because Tom acts the same way when I tell him I'll be to bed soon and then stay on the computer. It was just as annoying when Adam did it. But it made me realize that the same things that annoy me about Tom annoy me about Adam (plus a few of Adam's own traits) and the things I like about Adam are things I like about Tom (plus a few of Tom's own traits). And just like that, the ghost was gone. Now to get rid of the other ghost... Sky diving, anyone?
