Guy A and I met at the Pumphouse last night and watched a bit of UFC, then walked over to the Warren to watch The Pursuit of Happyness. It was really very good, funny and sad and everything else. Ah! Although, despite my constant warning of "I'm going to cry," most of the night, I only almost cried and that was only twice.
Tonight is New Year's Eve and we opted to just stay around downtown. That should be fun since I'm sure to bump into a lot of friends then. But that also means a lot of walking around and lookie outside! it's snowing. Well, what a great excuse to finally get that Wilson Leather gift card out of the car and buy myself a nice warm coat =D. It wasn't actually for me, I bought the gift card for someone else, but I doubt they even missed it. So it's mine, because I deserve it because I've been a very good girl.
Wow, just got a text from The Ex. Kinda weird, I didn't get all excited and happy like I used to. Maybe I am really better. Oh, it wasn't an unsolicited text. I called this morning because I've been so worried about his sleeping habit. Well, I have a statcounter that tells me who looks at my website at what time and he had been reading at odd hours. For example he would be up past midnight one night on my site and then be back on by 7am the next day. I was so concerned I even told Brian that I hope he wasn't doing illegal keep me up drugs. Not that he's the kind of person, but because I'm very imaginative and paranoid. So I got my monthly stat email this morning, I get email to my phone so it vibrated me awake. I saw that he checked my website 18 times between 10:30pm and 11:30pm last night, the last time he checked it last night was 12:15am and then he was back on at 8am. I felt bad, like maybe I should have blogged on my PDA while at the movies just to keep the site fresh. So I called him and wished him Happy New Year and let him know I was worried. Anyway, he just texted back that he hasn't been sleeping very well. That's understandable.
Ah, I'm going soft again. No! Being mad was what helped me snap out of the funk so fast. Despite the fact that I feel after so many years I have an obligation to be there for him, I feel like after that kind of betrayal whatever obligation I might have had should be null and void. I think I earned the right to be able to turn around and walk away free of guilt. Well, what a great New Year's Resolution, huh? This new year I resolve to just walk away. Feels good, and yet so f-ing mean. I hate being a good girl.
Regardless, I'm off to get myself a new coat and maybe I feel better just a hint. If you know me you know how completely tormented I am at this very moment with what I just ended up blogging about when I really meant to blog about the freakin' movie. So please call me and distract me and have a joke in hand. I need it.
I published, read, and decided to hit edit. Just to add how absolutely fitting the movie is with my life. The pursuit of happiness - maybe that's should be my new year's resolution.
Last night was tons of jolly good fun. Guy B and I had dinner at Hana Cafe, sushi sake and all. Of course, the table was already getting tense. Guy B's approach to everything is to make a joke and then give you a hard time about making a joke back. The X was super sensitive like that and seriously I'm not dealing with that again. We got done with dinner and met some friends up at Pumphouse. The night started to drag because I was already making up my mind. During my usual "do-not-disturb-megatouch-marathons" he started grilling me about what I'm looking for in a guy, what I'm looking for in a relationship, blah blah blah blah blah. I think I got put off not because he was interested. God help me, I'd love for someone to care about what I want and all that shite, but the way he was putting it all out on the table was a bit irritating. So I said to myself, "Self, if you find something about this guy that is annoying, don't rationalize it and say you can live with it, don't settle, Self. Find someone that is perfect." And of course, I agreed with myself. At one point he picked up on my vibe and deducted that if he left at that very moment I probably wouldn't care. I paused from my megatouch game huffy and told him the honest to goodness truth. "I am not going to fight to have anyone stay beside me. You don't think I'm worth sticking around for then you walk away now." Verbatum, too, I felt all slick and cool and EMPOWERED. Yay, me!
Of course, he didn't leave. Duh! We played pool and the mood started to lighten up. I think that comes free with the drinks =D. I was about to give him another shot, for no reason, you know, like I think maybe he smelled really good. But he ruined it when he tried to have a serious talk and that's when I just basically told him to piss off. I shut down, rolled my eyes (which I'm really good at) and turned around. I think he left then.
I was making friends left and right and having the time of my life. Then all of a sudden I decided I'd make more friends and talked to everybody possible. Gave my number, got some numbers, all that good fun. I've assigned the Guy C alias. Hahahahahahaha! Yep, a third one, what? Ah, I even met someone who spoke Tagalog. That was adorable, he got my number for sure. Oh, I should introduce Guy C more formally.
Guy C is a long time crush. He's hotter beyond belief. I've always hung out with him as friends and secretly gushed over his eyes and his smile and everything about him. He's always kinda flirty and I'm always kinda flirty back, but we were always involved with other people. He's really sweet, and really funny. Yeah. That's him. My ungettable get. So that's all I can say without turning this into a teeny bopper dear diary. Despite it all I really had tons of fun.
Today I got a text from Guy B of more sappy crap. I think he wanted another chance, or something. He called while I was running my errands and I basically said to talk about it later. I think I'm going out with Guy A tonight, change the scenery awhile.
With last night being how it was though, I started thinking about how maybe I want to be single for New Year's Eve and single for the rest of the year. It seems to be the most fun. Besides, classes are starting again soon, and maybe I'll meet more people in school now that I have classes I actually have to show up for. Maybe I'll keep my options open for a bit. Ah, really I don't even want to think about it. I'm having fun, that should be all that matters.
Becky already ordered our dresses for the wedding. It was super awesome that we got to vote on it. I'm actually getting more excited. I'll have tons of vacation by then hopefully and get to do Memphis in May and all that good stuff. Oh, crap! It just dawned on me I'll have classes still, or maybe not. I think.....hmmmm. Mental note for later, check class schedule. Well, I'll definitely be there for a week regardless. I just thought maybe I'd do like a week and a half or something. Ah, yet again, I don't want to think about it right now. I think I'll nap then get up and go out. Tomorrow is the big day. Yay!
The internet is a very strange beast as you probably well know. As it turns out, there are a large number of people heading to our website as a result of the postings about our museum on yours. I just wanted to thank you and offer you and your son a complimentary visit to our museum for 1 adult and two children (ostensibly your son and a friend). This email will serve as your coupon, so don’t forget to bring it along.
That was a great surprise actually and I called Matt immediately to let him know. So now all that's left is to schedule time, hopefully before Logan goes back to school. Ah, and there's a kicker -
And by the way, I noticed you write poetry as do I. I have attached a couple and hope you find them interesting. Again, thank you very much and best of luck with your studies.
He sent only a couple and I downloaded the first file before I left to do my errand. It actually ended up being of my taste so I thought I'd wait to read everything when I'm not as rushed so I can give it my undivided attention. What are the odds right?
Anyway, I have dinner plans for 7pm so I should probably start getting ready. Dinner is with Guy B who almost lost the whole deal. He called half an hour ago telling me how sleepy he is so I suggested he nap. He asked me to come over and nap with him and when I declined I got attitude, so I ended the conversation. Five minutes later I get a text asking when I'll be ready for dinner, I try to play coy and mention that from how he was acting I would think that dinner plans have been cancelled. I get a "no not at all" reply. We'll see.
I was considering cancelling my holidays since I only took off so many days because The X had so many days off and I had planned on spending time with him. I didn't want to end up sulking all weekend. But then I thought, now is the best time to break the mold of living around The X's schedule. So I planned an entire weekend of getting ready for the New Year's kick off. Of course, Life thought she'd plan something better instead.
Last night I spent at work getting tons of sweet messages from Guy B. It was probably the best time at work yet. After work I met Guy B and his friends at Oeno, the new wine bar down town. Guy B is friends with the owner I guess so it made it more relaxing. Afterwards we left his friends there so we could continue our pool challenge at the Pumphouse. I am yet to win a single game. Another set of Guy B's friends ended up being there so we sat down at their table and closed down the bar there. When I got home this morning I was looking forward to sleeping in until it was time to go out for my day of pampering, but Guy B sends a message about lunch and movies. Luckily, something came up at work for him and lunch has been postponed an hour later. I had sorta killed a lot of time text messaging and AIMing in bed. It's my weekend, I'm allowed to be lazy.
Logan is already here, Mom is cooking bacon, I have decided to get the laundry out of the way so that's already spinning, seems like my holiday is starting out just right. I win!
p.s. Just when I was about to make a choice, obviously with Guy B in the lead, Guy A sends a text message asking what my plans are today. If he all of a sudden starts stepping up it'll be a very tough decision. Maybe I should just go out on my own tonight, start fresh and find a Guy C. Maybe Ching's compact mirror that she gave me has magical powers. Maybe it does make it so that there's "So many men, so little time." Oh, I still have to take a picture of it, it's really cute. Ah, regardless, time to shower.
I seriously am hesitant in doing this because I got such crap the last time I did a guy list, but I seriously feel like I have to lay it all out to help me make some decisions. And I'm sorry but this is my website, about my life, and if you don't like it, then click away!
Okay, we should start this with the Ex Factor. For simplicity sake we'll call him Guy X.
Guy X. Everybody knows him. Everybody came to hate him. But I fell in love and I tried really hard to make it work. He was abusive in every aspect, but I thought (probably like most victims of domestic abuse) that he would soon realize how much he's hurt me and reward my loyalty with undying love. Well, shit has hit the fan, and I thought maybe I can keep hoping it'll turn back around, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I'm still letting him hurt me in a way. Well, I guess we'll have to remedy that, right?
I start thinking about how I wanted my life to be, and how even if the person I planned on having that life with has bowed out it doesn't mean I have to change my plans. I just have to find a better suited person.
So here's the new list...
New Guy A - Very supportive. From the first day I met him, which was last summer, he has been making smile through all the heartache, has been 100% behind my every decision, and has guaranteed to catch me from every fall. He has not let me down yet. Despite the fact that I know I've let him down a couple of times already. So this time around he's still here for me, and he's still adamant he'll take care of me. Yesterday morning he asked me to be his date for New Year's Eve. I was of course giddy. For one I don't remember the last time I was asked out on a date. Mostly it's just "Where you gonna be at?" text messages. Then he started making plans about where we were going to go, and options of where will be staying and who we'll book to drive. Yeah, he's really nice about not making me drive when we go out. I get very into the spirit and ask if we should match outfits =D
New Guy B - I met through a mutual friend. I showed up at one of the his house parties and he got my number somehow. I don't really know him, but from knowing some of his friends and seeing how everyone is always trying to go back to his house for an after party I listed him off. I thought, it's fine to go out now and then, but I don't want to live in a constant party. On most usual days I'm at home watching geeky TV shows, blogging about geeky things, trying to get a higher score on JawBreaker or reading. At one point while he was out with his buddies on a different night he left them to meet me out. We had an awesome time playing pool and hanging out. I introduced him to most of my friends I saw out and he got along with all of them. Yes, a little impressed. Of course, he was having an after party at his house, or so I thought. I was invited over and I declined. I didn't know it was a big deal until I got a call the next day. Let's see if I can hit it verbatum, "Hey, this is what I was going to say. I had a lot of fun with you last night, and it makes me want to change." Yeah, when was the last time anyone said anything gushy to me like that. I heard later on that the after party was moved to a different friend's house and he opted for ending the night earlier than usual.
So, two really great guys with so much potential. And even just blogging about it I can't feel bad anymore. I use to bluff and say there's a waiting line for a second of my time, but I was bluffing. This is beyond what I expected, actually I was ready for an entire year of sulking around.
So, the dilemma is my New Year's Eve superstition. What you do when the new year rolls around is what you end up doing for the rest of the year. I already made plans with Guy A. But then a friend mentioned that maybe there's a reason why the last time I had to choose between Guy A and someone else I chose someone else. So I'm a tad bit afraid I'll only be settling. I don't want to settle. I refuse to let my current state of loneliness push me into another failed relationship. Guy B hasn't even asked me what I'm doing New Year's Eve yet. Maybe he's just assumed I'll be hanging out because our group has been out most of this holiday week. But one more hurt for Guy A and even if I don't lose him forever I still won't be able to live with myself. I just can't use people like that. Maybe Guy A is going to be the one that will be there for me for the rest of my life. Or maybe Guy B will show me the romantic story line I've been looking for. Ahhhh!
I think maybe I should just stay home and not meet any more people until New Year's Eve. I can't handle any more choices.
The night before was a complete disaster. Everything started out fine hanging out with BobbyJ and his buddies, and then it went downhill. I'd like to take the time to apologize to everyone I called and woke up, and thank everyone that woke up and chatted with me. Thanks, guys! I want to thank everyone at work too, for being so understanding, and for being very supportive.
Actually I left work early last night, feeling like complete crap. Adam met me at the Old Chicago downtown and ate dinner with me. Seems like his Christmas was spoiled just like mine. So we sat and laughed about it all, and mainly tried to distract each other from both our griefs and talked about Duke, Adam's puppy. Well, I guess not really a puppy anymore. It was great getting to hang out with him again. Felt like we jumped from June to December and everything else in the middle never happened. Either way, Adam is planning on moving to new place and was preparing for a new job he's starting on the 2nd day of the new year, so we didn't stay out late at all. I didn't want to impose on him, but since I didn't feel like going home quite yet I called Eli up to chill with him.
Eli is always chill. Especially since he's been through most of my crap, he knows best how to handle me. Well, except for the laughing at me part. We watched a samurai movie. I forget what it's called. It had some cool sword fighting scenes, but got really bizarre when they tried to squeeze musicals in between. Crazy Asian people! I stayed awake through all of that and then some of the Supersize Me movie. I'm not quite sure what time I actually ended up sleeping, but I had a great sleep, kinda. =D Oh, and before I go piss him off - Thank you Eli for always being there for me.
Now, for the kicker. Remember the magnet from New York that he was holding hostage. Well, he saw me eyeing it while I was laying down so he got up to get it and put it in his pocket. This morning while he was in the shower I tried to search his room for his jeans, I found one pair on the floor, but no magnet. Ugh! So I did a Plan B. I took the other New York magnet from his fridge. Yay me! That's what you get. I freed the magnet. Magnet and I took a little side trip on the way home this morning and here's a picture of New York in Kansas.
Although I do like the other magnet much better. So, I would be more than willing to trade for the magnet that was initially meant for me. Fair is fair though, I already won, so I shouldn't have to steal the other one.
Anyway, thanks again for everyone that was there for me during my 12 hour drama. Everyone kept saying give it time, and I was pouting and thinking I'm not that patient. A month tops and I'm giving up. Well, I guess it didn't even have to last most of this week.
Last night was very fun. I think I got back home around 3pm or 4pm and lounged around until Ching and Brian got in at 6pm then started getting ready. By 7pm, Mom and Dad had already gotten back from picking up our food from Macaroni Grill. (No one in the house likes to cook.) We started eating and then played poker. Dad is really really good. He took Mom, Brian and me out. But of course, Ching is still better. Good thing they didn't bet the house.
Matt, Jennifer, Logan and Eli arrived just in time for opening presents. Logan got tons of cool stuff. I got tons of cool stuff. Everybody was happy. I haven't taken pictures of my presents because I've been exhausted from everything but I meant to. Ching got me this cool keychain with a Logan tag, (you'll have to see it,) and a really pretty compact mirror, (you'll really really have to see it.) Anyway, Logan played with all his toys while the grown ups ate dessert. We put the stickers on his new F16 which hopefully he can learn to fly with Lolo during winter break.
When everybody started packing up I left to go downtown. Downtown was almost all closed up except for Finns. I only meant to stay for one drink, (that's how every story starts,) but ended up staying until 2am. There's a ton more to that but I can't share because I don't feel like blogging all day.
Anyway I broke up the blog into three different ones because I like things being in order and I had to upload pictures that I've promised people. And people, I'm sorry it's all so late, really it's been hectic.
This was Saturday night. Yes, I remember it, though barely. I just intended to meet Carla out to see Six Stigma with her and ended up bumping into a lot of old friends. At the end I spent too much money and had too much fun.
So I'm really bad about uploading pictures but it's always better late than never, right? This was taken some days back I can't remember because Brandon and I usually don't even have a schedule of when we go out. One of is will just call the other and it's done. So this could've been yesterday, (well of course it's not,) or pretend they're future pictures for tonight. Whatever.
MULTITASKER GIRL TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING
Saturday, December 23, 2006
Today's to-do: get better! Thursday night Eli contacted me while I was at work and advised me that his internal clock is still in Japan and he just woke up from a nap at 9pm that night. We met at the Anchor with Chuck and I knew I was already going downhill. Brandon called me saying he was at the Pumphouse with his buddies but I just didn't feel good enough to handle the crowd. By Friday morning the sinus headache had arrived. Considering I have a string of days off on the way I didn't want to miss work. So I grabbed some cough drops and a ton of microwaveable breakfast foods and headed on out.
All day yesterday at work was miserable. We were swamped! Why! Brandon called and asked me to meet him and his friends out and this time I agreed. It would have been great fun if not for The Headache. Dan found my pressure point between my thumb and forefinger and pressed on it, and that alleviated it for a bit. I was the dumbass in the bar holding on to my own hand. TJ (?) Brandond's friend from out of town, seemed like he would be fun, but he kept yelling and I was hungry and sick. Hopefully tomorrow I can make it up to him.
Woke up a bit early, though staying in bed would have probably helped this feeling of death, but really all I want is a good massage. So I scheduled one. I deserve it after all. I run myself to the ground, bending this way and that all day every day trying to do things for everyone else I think I deserve an hour of me time. And that's what I'm doing, already scheduled for 11am. Yay me!
Can we mention the frost this morning? How pretty! Of course that makes me want to stay at home, sit with a nice cup of hot chocolate and watch movies about Christmas, but Alas! I cannot. Christmas means out of towners, and there is a ton of them to meet out, and mingle with, and say hello to. Christmas means prior obligations and last minute calls for lunch here, dinner there, and let's have a drink. Yeah, that massage appointment is just not coming soon enough.
Well, if anything, Christmas also means, cold weather, and pretty sweaters and cuddly coates, and I'm going to go buy me some. That is of course if I don't get sucked in my couch in the living room, or my bed on the way to getting ready.
Yesterday was a full of to-do's. Waking up at 7am didn't help. I had the strong urge to lay down and nap with every step I took. Actually getting ready for lunch with Carla I napped for 10 minutes after my shower and then layed down again for another 10 minutes after getting ready before I decided to head out. Luckily, Carla was feeling just as sleepy as I was.
We had lunch at Uptown Bistro. Yummy! Yummy! We had a chat about tons of peoples. I like chatting about peoples. =P After lunch we went to the mall. It was cute watching Carla pick out an ornament for her and Paul's first Christmas as a married couple. It was cuter that they didn't even have a tree. She tried to help me pick out Ray's coat but the one I liked the most looked exactly like the one he already has. I was also complaining that I didn't know what size to get and that he was supposed to go to the mall with me last weekend to pick this out. Carla says to buy a size XXXL and then he would have to go to the mall just to return it. I tried looking for a wallet for me too. Ching has a really cute Wilson's Leather wallet. I think I found it, I'll have to see Ching's again, but I might return to buy it tomorrow before work. I need present too! Everyone's on a tight budget this year, so I'm not expecting to open a lot of presents from other people. Instead I'm buying myself presents. It's the same thing.
After shopping I dropped Carla off and headed to Mom's where Logan was already sitting watching TV. I was hoping he was in a napping mood, but no such luck. Most of the time was spent playing "Guess where I am."
After Jennifer picked Logan up, I got ready to head out and meet up with an old buddy. It was nice. I did go home early though. I was in bed by 11:30pm and slept through 10am. It felt awesome this morning. Getting up and being able to cook breakfast and just relax. My tummy is full as I blog.
I'll be jumping in the shower soon to get ready for work. Tonight is our Christmas party, and I have to pick up food from the Philippine Grille to bring to work. I'm expecting a fairly laid back low key night. Tuesday's were usually well staffed so it shouldn't be as busy. Knock on wood. Besides the tons and tons of food that will be there, tonight is not the night to call in.
Between tomorrow and Saturday I have a lot of gift wrapping to do. I'm basically done buying for people. I just have to take them all out of my car and wrap them up. Next week aside from having the 24th and the 25th off I also have the 29th to the 1st of January for my holiday. Yay me! I'm already scouring for New Year's plans so anyone have any ideas feel free to leave comments. After this whole holiday shananigans I have to buckle down and start planning how we're supposed to have a Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party for Becky who's all the way in Memphis. Most likely we'll be doing a Spring break type of thing. This is what happens when you tell your maid of honor she's the maid of honor while your in a bar bs-ing. I have to save up all my vacation time, and sick time. Becky's wedding is in May and I have also been informed that Memphis in May is an awesome drink fest! I will be there very early.
Okay, party planning getting me all sidetracked. Must call the Grille, place order, and shower. C'mon, Jenni, stay on track.
Ow! Seether is neither loose nor tight, Seether is neither black nor white. I tried to keep her on a short leash, I tried to calm her down. I tried to ram her into the ground, yeah.
Cant fight the seether Cant fight the seether Cant fight the seether I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth.
Seether is neither big nor small. Seether is the center of it all. I tried to rock her in my cradle, I tried to knock her out, I tried to cram her back in my mouth, yeah.
Cant fight the seether ( seether ) Cant fight the seether ( seether ) Cant fight the seether ( seether ) I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth.
Keep her down, boiling water, Keep her down, what a lovely daughter. Oh, she is not born like other girls, But I know how to conceive her. Oh, she may not look like other girls, But shes a snarl-toothed seether, seether!
Cant fight the seether ( seether ) Cant fight the seether ( seether ) Cant fight the seether ( seether ) I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth. Seether Cant fight the seether ( seether ) Cant fight the seether ( seether ) Cant fight the seether ( seether ) I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth. Yeah.
Some people need a good cry to make themselves feel better. I need a good piss off! Things start to lag, I start feeling down and really I don't know how to react to "down" but I am skilled at reacting to "pissed". That's what happened. I've been lagging, I was looking around going, "I feel down what do I do?" and then finally last night I got pissed. And today - Ahh! - a fresh sigh of relief. I feel brand new. Untouchable even. It's fairly hard to explain, but pissedoffedness (my new word) motivates me forward. It makes me want to win and show off, causing me to do better. Maybe deep down inside I was meant to be a bad person, and that's why I'm wired with such a competetive streak, and a big longing for shoving my victory down people's throats. Oh, I'm sure not, I'm the sweetest ever!
Since we got in the topic of stand ups, one of my favorites would be late Mitch Hedberg. So, not a long post for now but here's a clip of Mitch's comedy to enjoy.
Friday was looking bleak by the time I headed to work. I had felt like I had been coming down with the flu or something all week, but Friday I had this humongous headache that even Becky's special migraine-melt-in-your-mouth medicine couldn't fix. I called Tito Alan's office and they asked me to come in. I was already at the City Hall so I drove down to McLean and picked up three different pills and got diagnosed with a sinus infection. Fun! I called work and told them to switch my Sunday day off so I could just rest for the rest of Friday.
Ray had planned on working out and studying for the finals while I was at work, but when he found out I was coming home sick he opted to work in the gym downstairs instead. We went ahead and kept our movie night plans and just moved it a bit earlier. Ray bought me the Dane Cook HBO special DVD. Wayne h ad brought a the pirated 90 minute version when he came into town, but this one was the two hour long version, which had a lot of funny stuff that was cut out from the other version. And I also got a free T-Shirt. It was the bestest sick day EVAR!
Tito Allan's med's helped me feel better. Especially the one for the aches and pains. Usually I hate taking pills since they make me feel nauseous - it's psychological thing - but when I feel another massive headache coming on, I pop one of those circle white pills and BAM! I'm good for atleast another 5 hours.
Which is pretty much how it worked out at work last night. Can't complain though. Everything pretty much moved smoothy. Not too much drama in the ICT. When I got home Ray had my Kriek Lambic in the frige waiting for me and we finally got to watch The Da Vinci Code. I was concerned at first since it was already late and the movie was three hours long. I feared it would start dragging and we would instead opt to go to bed. BUt no. It was awesome! And I was trying to solve the clues and everything. Usually I guess the ending before we even get to the middle of the movie which bugs Ray because he says I ruin it for him, but this one I guessed wrong all along. I like that. I like movies I can't figure out.
I'm heading to work soon, and Ray is on his way to the Library to study. I've got tomorrow off which shall be used to do all the errands I need done. I've decided to take advantage of the entire day and get up and out of the house the same time as Ray which should be around 6:30am.
So everything is quite dandy currently. Please check back again tomorrow because I also made uploading pics from the last couple times I went out as part of my to-do.
I got up and dared to use Ray's computer only because I wanted to watch my Ugly Betty episode. But alas they scrapped it to show a pilot of Day Break. Ugh! SO I did the next best thing. I watched Grey's anatomy. And really it doesn't matter if you've watched it religously or not, it's always good.
I have to jump in the shower to meet Ray for sushi for the second day in the row. He has got it in his head that he will try a different sushi every day. Hmmm... Afterwards I might head to the mall for a bit before work, for the last of my Christmas shopping.
Ray's planned some movie watching activity tonight and he's supposed to buy my Apple Beer and Salt and Vinegar chips. I'm definitely looking forward to it. MOre on that tomorrow =D
So, Friday Ray and I ate dinner at PF Changs and then we went out separately. Ray with his friends and me with Brandon. Which was a blast! We were trying to recruit Brandon a wing man most of the night, and trying out pick up lines, and sending girls shots and watching Brandon hide behind the Megatouch machine. Hahahahahahah! He's a geek. After drinking we drunk dialed Becky on the way to Dennis. Actually Brandon drunk dialed Becky, I was just in the background yelling "We have a flat tire!" (Old joke.)
Saturday night was a whole lot chiller. By the time I got to Ray's house he had bought me two different set of bubble bath stuff. I got a bubble bath, a massage and a nice nap. Ray and I ate sushi at Hana Cafe for dinner and then went to Liquid for pool, Megatouch and libation. By the time we got home we ate more, watched TV and crashed.
Sunday we just lounged a lot. Ray got back on his work out routine and I did some grocery shopping.
Ray goes back to work today after a week of vacation. And today is my last day on holiday so I go back to work tomorrow. Mom and I are planning on going to Target to get some organizing stuff for my room, and I've ordered prints from Walgreens I need to pick up. As well on my to do list - clean car. Yeah, that should have been done about two months ago, right?
Speaking of to-do's, Becky finally made good on her promise to get me pictures from her album so here it is....
I guess now I have to fish out my camera and do some uploading of my own. Well, how about maybe later tonight?
BTW, Ray and I did get back together. (Is this a shocker for anyone?) We decided yesterday, after a lot of wishy washy back and forthing. Let's see where this goes, I guess.
Currently in the Computer Lab in Clinton Hall at WSU. Yeah, wrong school, I know. I came with Ray to drop off his entrance paper for the MBA program - he passed the GMAT! So he decided to enroll for his classes online while we're here since I guess he was having problems with it at home. So here we are. And I'm dutifully pretending I'm studying. =D
Brandon took me to Red Lobster the other night which was awesome. We went to the Pumphouse for a bit but did not stay out late. We were fairly distraught, and I'm sure Becky will be too, when we found out that the high scores were erased out of one of the MegaTouch machines. Poop on them!
I ended up at work last night but being the first snow day of the season it was very slow. I basically browsed the web on my IPAQ and played MP3's all night. Today I start my four day holiday which is gonna be awesome.
I bought a new pair of knee high suede boots this morning that I plan on wearing with the skirts I got tailored. One of the skirts was a Christmas present from Ching from almost three years back so I'm hoping she'll be happy that I'll finally get to wear them. They're all Abercrombie skirts from Ching, she is my closet benafactor. I'm hoping the tailor Mom referred me to didn't ruin them. Two were chiffon and the other was silk. After this errand Ray will be driving me to pick the skirts up and to get some clothes from Mom's house. I'll be a snow bunny in a skirt for tonight.
Well, no pics uploaded yet, but really I'm not that late considering Becky still hasn't sent any from when she was in town. I'm going to go ahead and end this post to check movie times - I'm waiting for the new Christopher Walken movie to come out.
P.S. Ching, I will take pics of the skirts when I wear them just for you =D
Guy A and I met at the Pumphouse last night and watched a bit of UFC, then walked over to the Warren to watch The Pursuit of Happyness. It was really very good, funny and sad and everything else. Ah! Although, despite my constant warning of "I'm going to cry," most of the night, I only almost cried and that was only twice.
