Went for a small walk in the morning with John - he was trying out his new toe shoes. I was tired and weak - I should have taken pills to function better, I guess the infusions haven't kicked in yet. 2 x 15 min miles walking. And long nap afterwards.
When I went over to Ryan's house - he was tired and didn't want to workout. He had to fix the drains at the cafe with acid. If we worked out he wouldn't have time to relax and unwind. He said he just wanted to nap and shower. So I ended up giving him a massage while he took a nap while watching Wanted with Angelina Jolie on tv. I woke him up and told him the time so that we could get going. We ate so quick corn dogs. And he showered and I went home to change and get ready.
Packed camping chairs, some capri salad and fired rice. Went to the store to get bread and cream cheese (Safeway $5.26) to eat with Lisa's jalapeno jelly. Figured it would be cheaper to pack a picnic. Parking at Jack London Square ($6.25) but at least the movie was free. Plus I entered a raffle and won a gift basket from Scott's which included a bottle of wine. =) Ryan still hates all those gimmicks like free raffles and coupons - it almost makes me feel cheap and stupid that I even look out for those things. It makes me not want to do those things too.
I still enjoyed it - but next time I am thinking about bringing a hot thermos of either coffee or tea with biscuits. Made be even hot chili or soup. They had Ratatouille there in bread bowls - it made me want clam chowder!!

Happy Hour and Harry Potter
I am not sure I like having a phone or not. On one hand - I can't consistently check it and realize what a loser I am and no one has called. Then again technology is too good and there are so many ways to get a hold of people if you really wanted to. Home phone, emails and facebook. You can even call my family or friends if I am with them. So me not having a phone shouldn't stop anyone from hanging out with me if they really wanted to. It makes me think about last night when Ryan didn't try to figure things out or get a hold of me. Then is having so much fun - doesn't include me, invited me to play video games (which I don't play) and even worse makes me feel like I am intruding on him. It all makes me want to keep my distance so I don't get hurt and feel like a fool for trying too hard. I remember Lisa talking to Jen Bruno about a trip they went on or maybe they were just hanging out and their entire conversation was on their men. What were they guys doing right now and so forth. I found it enduring and so true - that what I am thinking and feeling or missing. It also makes me feel lopsided in the relationship. That is not how Ryan thinks at all - and even worse it reminds me for when he came home after one trip and I like a love sick teenager had baked cookies for everyone coming back for their drives home. Had washed Ryans sheets and lit candles even had godiva chocolates that reminded me of a valentines we once had. Not only did he not embrace me right when he got back but called me crazy when I called Dan because he never turned on his phone when he landed or arrived at his final destination. He even forgot his phone charger. With permission from Chassity (her and I talked about how we missed the guys) I called Kevin because he had verizon and wouldn't get charger if I called him to talk to Ryan during his layover on his way back. Once again it was met with annoyance. Grr. Even after all that rudeness I still missed him and tries to welcome him home. Grr. And he wonders why I hate his qzar trips.
Met up with Ryan and walked around todo santos plaza - checked on prices to get my ipod fixed $50-$100. So hungry we ate a Bruce's roll while we killed time. Caught happy hour with Dan and Lisa at La Pinata. Got Chicken Nachos and a Quesadilla that fed the four of us for under $11. The boys went to qzar and Lisa and I went to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 - I still think the books will always be better than the movies but since it had been so long since I read the book; I lost a lot of the details and was able to enjoy the movie on its own.
After the movie we walking around a bit just talking books (Pick Your Poison) and crafts. And then we got on to the topics of her job and inquired about the position I applied for. Edo had made a decision, and offered the job to someone getting her masters in business and is pretty much over qualified for the position yet she has taken two weeks to think about it and has yet to accept it. I don't get her bosses because they are not actually working together and getting things done, not compromising or even listening to each other. For example the position is suppose to be an admin position to help Lisa out - Lisa's boss is Amy - Lisa and Amy want me. HR department and Edo (Amy's Boss) also have an opinion on this matter. So basically they didn't like me. So now I know a couple of this that they are very disorganized and they didn't pick me. I am not sure how I feel about that. For one it doesn't make me want to work with them and get involved in a place that is so far behind and stressful. Reminds me of a saying - too many cook spoil the broth. And there seems like there is no time and no trust between anyone. And of course there is the part of me that wants to prove them wrong. My mom thinks if they do offer it to me - I should still take it. Ryan says I should keep applying.

Johnnay's 31st Birthday
John and Mom had the day off so we started the morning off with breakfast at Digger's Diner. John had never been there before. Grr.. In the morning its so hard to find a mini breakfast when you don't eat eggs. I ended up getting chicken strips and garlic fries. Then we walked around the farmer's market and I met up with Ryan and dad met up with Mom and John (they watched Harry Potter the Deathly Hallows part 2). Ryan and I tried to find John a mud pie at Baskin Robbins; no luck you have to order it. Went to the bank and then went back to my house and I napped basically until Mom, Dad and John got out of the movies. Ryan went back to work.
So once I got back together with the family we went shopping at REI - John wanted to try on toe shoes and my parents ended up getting him that for his birthday. Then we went shopping at Barnes and Noble (for my book light no luck) and then Target were mom went crazy getting baby John Anthony toys and clothes. Then we picked dad up from CJ's and all went to Costco. Tri-Tip and Salmon to barbecue then we decided we were lazy and we all ate dinner there.
This was tuesday - which is normally date night when we hangout with Dan and Catherine and cook dinner or hangout. Well I was hoping that my efforts to include Jason and Anthony were not in vain. But Ryan warned me that they always flake and not to plan. So I didn't and just stuck with family. If anything we could have eaten whatever we planned on eating for John's birthday because lets face it we are Caponio's and love to eat and just hangout in the backyard. In the morning I told Ryan to call everyone and let me know - nothing - he said he left messages with everyone. Other than that he sent a text that said he was going to go hangout at Dans pool. I got a hold of him when I finished with my family. He was hanging out with Josh and Dan playing video games. We never did end up getting together. I hate trying to be thoughtful and try to include people. I still get the feeling no one wants me around. On top of that I learn that Ryan and Dan popped open a bottle of wine. Grr..

Apple Store and Movie
John came to the house at 8 in the morning - apparently he went into work and they gave him today and tomorrow off and said to have a nice birthday. He was so excited and so full of energy - I tried to muster up some of my own after my infusion so he would have someone to hangout with. Dad, John and I ended up going to Walnut Creek Apple Store so that John could get so errands done. He need to get his iphone fixed. We got there at 10 and they gave him an appointment time of 1. So we ended up playing with everything in the store and lost dad; he went to find cigarettes at the store. So we headed down to safeway and jamba juice but still no dad. So we went back to the Apple Store and found him at the light. He had went to the gas station not the store. So we still have about 3 hours to kill and we deciding between eating and a movie. We decided on watching Cowboys and Aliens - dad got popcorn and candy. The movie was pretty much what I thought it would be action porn. For me it didn't hit any milestone qualities like Independence Day or Armageddon or E.T.
Dad took off to the bar while John and I headed back to the Apple Store to wait for his appointment. I looked at ipods to replace my broken one. Still not sure what to get. A small one I can run with or a large on that can hold everything.
Shuffle 2GB $49
Nano 8GB $149 / 16GB $179
Classic 160GB $249
Touch 8GB $229 / 32GB $299 / 64GB $399
While we were getting the phone fixed dad picked mom up from bart and then we all went home. I went to work out with Ryan (Legs & Back). Ate corndogs and cesear salad for dinner. I took a nap while Ryan played Call of Duty with the guys.

A's Game
Went to the A's game with Catherine, Elliott and mom. Elliott met us at the house and we took bart over around 9am. Just to get in line for free jerseys. We were basically there three hours before the game even started. Catherine did find us good seats - slightly behind the third base but we were in the sun the majority of the game. Since we were there so early we found our seats and went shopping. I think mom brought baby Johnny an A's shirt and Catherine got a green jersey. Then we got pizza's and sat down - they still didn't start the game yet. Catherine booed the others teams line-up and the umpires. I found that very distasteful - poor sportsman like of her. But to get her credit she also yelled at the A's when they made mistakes. Still not my cup of tea to be at sports game - although I did enjoy the free jersey. Dartanyan wanted to join but Catherine was annoyed with him and didn't want him tagging along. Dartanyan wanted to come because Catherine was mad at him. I don't get that. Mom even tried to give up her ticket for him - and I wanted to scold her I didn't want to go to the game with just the kids - at least mom and I got to keep each other company and read our books.
Dartanyan didn't end up joining us - which was probably a good thing that way Elliott wasn't a third wheel. Ryan would always be my first choice if I had an extra ticket. I wonder if that would be the same in reverse - would Ryan think to bring me? Probably not his first choice depending on what the event was. Grr.. stupid No Doubt concert and Amy. He asked me if I wanted to go - didn't say he bought me a ticket. I hate being broke that is always my deciding factor when I get invited is the money issue. He should have just said he got me the ticket because he wanted me to go. Because I wanted to go. But nope he gave the extra ticket to Amy - I think he secretly wanted that because he hide that fact from me. I should see these signs.
Anyways it was a long day in the sun, on my feet and even a long time seated and being cramped. Puffy was upset with the bad food and lack of water. As soon as I got home I called him and hoped he would say something nice like he missed me. Nope he was just bored of watching tv all day. I think by this time it was around 6 and I was torn between sleeping or resting, eating and taking pills. But I shouldn't eat before I workout. Can't take pills so I can workout without eating and I don't want to sleep because I might get too tired or sleep too long and end up not working out. I ended up just going to workout and that was almost a waste considering I was so weak and tired.
For dinner we finished off the crab by making crab melts and watching shark week until we fell asleep.
