Day 317 - Oh, Here I Am

Ugh, I will come back here soon.

I have been too busy and lazy.

Plus, I don't really know what to write.

Wah, wah, wah.

Barbar is sleeping on my office chair.

Goodnight!

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!

Day 312 - Should I Feel Bad?

A story from some time ago:

The Brit and I were having a glass of wine and were about to head outside (to the store?).

I asked to borrow a coat as I hadn't planned on having to be out in the cold.

He gave me one as I finished my glass and told me it would be really warm.

It was ... and he continued that he didn't really like the coat FROM HIS EX, but it was too warm to get rid of.

I then did not feel bad when I completely accidentally spilled a little bit of wine on the sleeve.

Oops.

Day 311 - Wazooo!

I have finally set up my wireless at my place.

I am so happy! Now I can run around my apartment with my laptop while I surf the internet.

And Barbar is so relieved because now he can take his kitty laptop into my closet and buy kitty toys online while I think he is just quietly sleeping.

Day 310 - Friday Night Catch Up

Oy, just finished work for the week. I mean, until tomorrow when I work again because I work every single day. I need to fix that.

So, what have I been up to?

Legal Eagle came up last weekend and we painted my place! I am so in love with it. The colors are fabulous! Next time the Brit is over I will ask him to take a picture and send it to me so I can post it because someone still hasn't worked on getting a new camera. And, as usual, it was fun catching up with LE. Schatzi, her cat, had to get his hair cut like a lion this week. It's adorable.

Valentine's Day was nice. The Brit cooked dinner and we watched a bad movie. We had a chocolate mousse thing for dessert and he even got me a rose. Oh, there was a little bump in the night at the beginning. He had to work on some thing for about 45 minutes at the start of the night. He was upset that I was upset. But I explained that I understood work stuff and was fine that he was doing that because I know he has to, but I didn't feel good about it. We resolved it and all was well.

I started working out again. Well, I went running one day. It's been rainy this week. But, it felt good and my knee had no problems.

Oh, I got my replacement tooth. My dentist was almost going to charge me even though I did nothing wrong! So, that sealed my decision to find a new dentist. Plus, my favorite assistant is gone and the new guy almost crushed my hand.

OK, time for me to do something, like sort my laundry that has been sitting here for way too long.

Day 309 - An Actual Blog

I haven't spent much time on here. Yikes! OK, so now I'll write a bit about my life and adventures or lack of adventures.

Work is work and still for jerks.

My apartment is slowly shaping up. Tomorrow Legal Eagle is coming up to help me paint. I'm so excited to finally get that going and to catch up with LE (we probably haven't seen each other in 2 weeks)! Hmmm, yet all the walls aren't taped. Someone has work to do. (Barbar, looking at you.)

It was my dad's birthday this week. I wish I were home for sushi tomorrow with the family. But I don't wish I were home for the cold weather. I suppose I hope they have fun without me...if it is possible.

What else? What else? Oh, I still need a camera. And I am finally thinking about getting a bed frame. A cheap one from Ikea of course. I just can't think about putting my bed back on it's ugly metal frame. This will all have to wait until I figure out what my taxes will be like since I was 1099'ed this year. Yikes!

The Brit is good. Well, he's been stressed a lot lately with computer stuff, work stuff, music stuff, money stuff, etc. I feel bad, but he's getting through it and stuff has been getting resolved. But we're good and hanging out on Valentine's Day. I decided to ask instead of hoping he would read my mind. I think he was worried that I wanted to go out to some expensive dinner, but I told him we should just cook and watch a movie.

I'm having a Dr. Pepper right now. Mmmm.

And Barbar is laying upside-down (not taping the walls).

And now I'm watching the Lifetime movie with DJ Tanner and Fred Savage and it is still the best one ever.

Oh, I finally got a new, working oven. And I'll be getting my tooth next week.

Okey-dokey artichokey, I feel like laying in bed now. I promise to write a more hilarious blog sometime. Promise!

Day 308 - I Tried

I tried watching a few minutes of 'Glee,' but all it did was confirm that I can't stand Lea Michele. Her character is as annoying as she seems to be in reality. Well, at least now I can dislike her for a reason.
