Day 316 - March 29th ...

... will be my first day off in 8 months!

I can't freaking wait!!

To enjoy it, the Brit and I are taking an overnight trip to Vegas.

Wazooooooooooooo!

Day 315 - Works For Humans, Works For Cats

Barbar plays fetch a lot. And when you throw his stuffed sardine, he just goes for it.

The only problem with this is sometimes he doesn't look before he turns to run.

The other day he ran square into one of my little tables. I even heard a thud when his head hit the leg of the table.

He then stood there a little shocked and I scooped him up. I then did a test to make sure his eye sight was fine. I did that moving finger thing and his eyes seemed to follow.

He has rebounded and seems 100% fine now. But now I will be a bit more careful about furniture that is around before I throw the sardine.

Day 314 - Somehow I Now Find Myself In A Relationship

The Brit and I have been sailing along for months now and I haven't really wondered about our "status" because I've felt like I've been treated right this whole time and it has seemed relationship-y/exclusive.

But, in the last month or so, it has completely unfolded before me that I'm in a relationship.

The Brit was actually the one who brought it to my attention.

So, what's been going on?

Well, it started maybe a month or so ago when we were hanging out and talking about how he can't burp or doesn't burp or rarely burps (I know, romantic), but then he said, "When in our relationship have you known me to burp?"

I forgot about the burp talk and just thought, "Oh?! Relationship?!" It was nice to hear since we've never had any sort of discussion about things, but we have grown to spend more time together, text more and we even talked on the phone. I know, weird.

Then the other day we went hiking. We've started this up as he wants to get working out again and lives near an awesome trail in LA where dogs run all around. We stopped to sit on a bench and it must have been a little wobbly because we almost flipped it over. He was making some joke about it and then said, "We'd be the couple of the moment."

Why does couple seem so much different than relationship? I mean, they're basically the same, but couple is like, oh, couple!

The thing that sort of solidified everything is that I know he has mentioned me to his mom more than once. Let's discuss:

First time: I snooped at his birthday card on his TV and saw that she wrote something like "Have fun at your dinner." That has to be reference to the birthday dinner I took him to since there was nothing else it would be about.

Second time: I heard him on the phone in the other room once when he called his mom back saying he was hanging out with me tonight.

Third time: He admitted to telling her a story about Barbar. Yes, Barbar. That cat is popular.

Most recent time: We were deciding what to make for dinner and he wanted to do something his family used to do. So he called his mom and said, "Molly and I are going to cook..." and, since he was driving, she was on speaker and was not like "Who is Molly?"

And one more thing, I was talking about my middle sister's surprise birthday trip in July and he was all like, "When is it?" I told him the early July dates and then he said, "OK, so you will be around for your birthday?" I'm glad that he's sort of OK with looking a little in the future. It was nice to hear.

So, here I am. It's weird. But nice. But no, we are still not Facebook friends and that's just the way I like it.

Day 313 - I Am Alive, Promise!

Yikes, I didn't realize I hadn't written in so long.

Work has just been very busy. And other stuff I'm sure.

But, after having a breakdown over work in front of the Brit the other day, I will be taking a day off. Yay! Now to just inform my boss.

Oh, and the Brit got to see me cry. And he survived. I think he was just relieved it wasn't over anything he did since it happened out of nowhere. It was seriously a spontaneous combustion. But he suggested we go for a walk and handled my crying very well. I, on the other hand, looked awesome crying. I tried to hide my face which led to the spreading of tears which led to matted bangs and such.

Barbar is well. He has a girlfriend who is in the area outside my kitchen window and he is trying to romance her. She rolls around on the ground all cute. She is a little fluff ball.

Sorry for the short post, I need dinner now!
