Sunday 3/26, I woke up early again, but didn’t get up until 8:30. I went to Costco to get gas then I went and did my grocery shopping, all by 9:30, I felt so productive. I got back into bed (not so productive) and worked on organizing my bills and updating my VISA spreadsheets where I keep track of what I spend every month on my credit card. Eliso called and we talked for at least an hour, then my Mom to tell me that we weren’t having dinner that night, then Courtney to tell me that Pat proposed and asked if I would be a bridesmaid in her wedding next year. That was pretty exciting, then Dad called and I talked to him for a little bit about when they come up to Seattle in two weeks. I went to Soundsations to see Richrd and traded in the rest of those cds and got some new ones. Went home and relaxed for the rest of the evening, and found Willie, Story and Jordan Murray on myspace so friended them and sent messages. Pretty productive day in some respects.
Saturday 3/25, I work up a little after 6:00 and couldn’t go back to sleep so I laid in bed watching more SatC, reading my book, and finally getting out of bed around 10:00 to do some cleaning in the garage. I got through quite a bit of it, but got sidetracked when I found a shoebox filled with old letters and cards from people while I lived on MI in 1995. I cried more than once reading the letters, mostly the ones from Mom (Kristen) when she was in Wisconsin. That was hard but I got through all of them, ate some lunch, had some laughs then got ready to go to dinner with Kristel for Moroccan. I found the place easily and our waiter was giving me some funny looks while I was sitting in my car. Kristel and Sarah got there and we went in and got situated, I’m glad we didn’t have to sit on the floor like last time and I sat on a poof that was kind of deflated by the time dinner was over (3 hours later). I had the Beef and Vegetable Brochette again and it was delicious. Everything was delicious and I definitely ate my fill. It was a lot of fun though the service was a little slow, I would think they’d want to hustle people in and out of there to make more money, but I guess not. I went to B’s afterward and brought him some bread from the store because he was still feeling sick and hadn’t eaten anything all day. I hung out for a little while then went home and to bed.
Friday 3/24, B wasn’t feeling good after work so he went home to lie down and I just hung out at home watching Sex and the City. At around 8:30 I called him to see how he was feeling and he asked me if I would bring him his pillow, I really didn’t want to, but how much of a bitch would I be if I didn’t? Yeah, kind of a big one. So Susan drove down with me and I dropped it off at his house and talked with his roommates and him for a few minutes then headed home, watched a little more of SatC then went to bed.
Thursday 3/23, I think I did more cleaning and organizing in my room and watched OC.
Wednesday 3/22, B came over because he didn’t have to work the next day and we hung out in the living room and watched tv. I went through some magazines and we made a pizza for dinner then watched America’s Next Top Model and I can’t believe they didn’t kick off stupid Gena or whatever her name is. She is really irritating. And even though my dream last night (this is Monday 3/27) didn’t happen on Wed, it’s related to ANTM. I had a chance to bitch to Nicole to her face about why I didn’t think she should win. I told her it was because she whined too much. It felt good to tell her that in my dream.
Tuesday 3/21, probably just hung out at home and didn’t really do much. Well I have been on kind of a cleaning spree so I probably did something relating to “cleaning house”.
Monday 3/20, I did some things in my room and took out the garbage after work. I had intended to make Hamburger Helper for dinner but didn’t actually have the boxed ingredients so I settled for McClusky noodles, an apple and a pear. I watched Wimbledon because Peggy and Jim had rented it and let me take it home. I saw it in Kauai while Kassie and I were visiting in 2004 (with stupid Matt) and it wasn’t any better than I remember but it was something to do. Read a little then went to bed.
Sunday 3/19, We woke up early to drive up to Crystal Mountain to pick up B’s boots that he left there. It was a nice drive despite the donuts B did in an empty parking lot. We went back to my house so that I could get ready then headed back to his house and out to lunch at Kidd Valley so I could get a burger. Then we started on our open houses. I had two that I really wanted to see: a condo in an old firehouse on Capitol Hill and then a cute house over in Washington Park. The firehouse one was really cool, but on the wrong end of Broadway for our taste, otherwise I thought it was perfect. B didn’t like it so much but thought it was ok, while the Washington Park one we both thought was just kind of ok, nothing special except for the pillow marble floor, oooh. We decided to try and see another one and ended up at a kind of blah modern townhouse-y type of house, then a cute cottage-y house up the street though neither of them were entirely to my liking, though B really liked the cottage one. We went back to his house afterward and hung out there with his roommates until it was time for me to go to Mom’s for dinner. Dinner was good and they made me take a bunch of boxes of old stuff so now I’ve got a bunch more shit to go through and give to Goodwill or throw away. I hit the store on the way home and watched some random shows before going to bed (Desperate Housewives was a rerun, boo!).
Saturday 3/18, I woke up pretty early but just laid there until B started stirring. We made pancakes for breakfast and I washed and oiled my new pans while he watched tv. Some laundry was done, some showering, some getting ready, some fixing of the shelf and organizing of cds, then it was out the door around 11:30 or so. We went to Warehouse first to see if Scott and Mike were working but found out that they weren’t working until later that day, so we decided to come back. We found Dixie’s BBQ and this huge black woman was bossing this new guy around and it was so hard not to laugh, poor guy. The food was ok, nothing all that memorable but they had maps all over the walls with pins in them from where people were from. That was pretty interesting. After that we hit Lowe’s then a pot place then back home and watched Ocean’s 11 though my DVD is all fucked up and we couldn’t watch the last 20 minutes, that really pissed me off. We went back to Warehouse and I talked with the boys for awhile but they don’t buy singles so that irritated me but I did get the newer Weezer album with my credit. We went back to B’s and had some bread then decided to walk up to the store. When we got back we watched a couple of episodes of X-Files with Jason then went to bed.
Friday 3/17, St. Patrick’s Day! Ok, I didn’t really do anything though. Peggy let me leave work an hour and a half early so that was really nice. B was waiting for me when I got home and we took off right away to go to Dania to pick up my new cd tower / shelves. When we got back we were both kind of hungry, even though it was only like 5:00, so I made a pizza and he started putting the shelves together. We watched some American’s Funniest Home Videos and thought that we finished the assembly until I tried to put shelves into it and they were all cockeye. B put one of the things in upside down, but his back was sore so he decided he would fix it in the morning. There was a kid on AFHV that looked like he was chewing on a used tampon out of the garbage can which got B and I on a strange topic and then I started feeling insecure and started crying but he was really great. He said he’d never been with someone where every month he falls more in love with them. Ok, that really made me start crying because it was so sweet and then he said I wasn’t crazy (like some of the crazies he’s dated apparently), and so things ended on a positive note. We went to bed not too much later.
Thursday 3/16, B forgot his pillow but didn’t want to come back over and sleep at my house even though he had Friday off. I probably had a salad for dinner, watched tv for awhile, then read before going to bed.
Wednesday 3/15, B came over after being in Oregon for three days and we had leftovers and watched America’s Next Top Model.
Tuesday 3/14, Looked at a lot of open houses that will be going on this weekend and found some good ones. Convinced B on the phone that we should definitely see some of them, did some reading then it was off to bed.
Monday 3/13, Just hung out after work and acted lazy except I think I took out some trash and shit. Talked to B for a long time on the phone cause he’s in Oregon.
Sunday 3/12, I was ready to do all sorts of stuff but B was being sluggish despite the fact that he’s always saying he doesn’t want to sit inside and do nothing all the time. I finally got him up and ready to go down to Café Campagne where I had to buy Peggy a gift certificate for her birthday. Jason came along so he could hit the tackle shop. B dropped me off and I ran in and luckily saw Jason in there so I got my certificate and got to chat with him for a few minutes which was nice and I got a hug too. I only had to wait a minute for B to come around the block then the three of us headed up to Queen Anne to the Pizza Co. or something for sandwiches. It was a beautiful day and we walked up to the place and had a delicious lunch (I had the Philly steak sub) then headed home to relax. Jason and I sat on the porch in the sunshine and read while B cleaned his car out. I eventually went upstairs to lay on his bed and fell asleep. He woke me up when it was time for him and Jason to go play pickle ball with some other guy and I decided to go home where I took a shower and proceeded to fall asleep again. I woke up in time to go to Mom’s but I really didn’t want to because I was so tired. Had a nice dinner but Kassie was sick and I was still tired so we both left at like 7:30 which is pretty early. I called Dad on my way home since I haven’t talked to him forever and got advice on my car. I talked to Mom too and got the low down with the housing situation then watched Desperate Housewives before going to bed for real.
Saturday 3/11, I got up around 8:30 or something and had to go to the bathroom but Schuyler was in there so I knew it would be a little while, so Chrystol told me I could just grab my stuff out of there and be on my way. I had to hold it all the way until I got home, yikes. I took a shower and got ready to go out with Kristel for lunch and a movie then hit the road. We planned to meet at PF Changs for lunch and then we would walk across the sky bridge for the movie in the new Lincoln Square. We had a nice lunch and the movie was really good, though left both of us feeling a little unsettled. Visions of Jonathan Rhys Meyers in a tight, wet, button up shirt helped me through that though. We did a little shopping after that and I ended up with three new Favorite T’s cause all of my current ones are nasty and pitted out. Gross I know. I headed to B’s after that and luckily Jason was getting there just as I did so he let me in and I read a magazine until B got home from pickle ball. We chatted but again he waited too long to take a shower and Chrystol beat him to it, he finally took one and we all got ready to go see Walk the Line at the Crest, but first dinner at Blue-C Sushi where all of the items go by on a conveyor belt and you choose what you would like and it’s price is determined by the plate color. I had two plates of vegetable tempura, yum! We were late on our way to the theater and by the time we got there the line was all the way around the block and it sounded like the only seats that were available were the ones way in the front so we nixed it and decided to get some goodies and watch Forest Gump at home. We didn’t end watching Forest Gump but instead some random shows and then the movie Dummy with Adrien Brody, it was ok, kind of weird, but funny too. That’s all.
Friday 3/10, I got off of work early so I high-tailed it home to pick up some overnight things, then into Seattle to B’s. He hadn’t showered yet even though he’d been home for like an hour so that made me furious, ok not really but I was like, “come on, it’s early afternoon on Friday and we’re just sitting here, get a move on!” so we finally made it out the door and headed down into Ballard to see if we could find Seattle Tile. We passed Goodwill and stopped in where I got some bowls and travel books. We went to Ivars after that for dinner then up to Value Village where I found even more matching bowls, some cute French-y plates and some little Pyrex bowls like the ones my parents used to give us fruit and ice cream in. We saw Seattle Tile on the way up there and I made a mental note, then we headed home where Jason was watching tv so we joined him (for the regulars: Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy) and I experienced my first “Deal or No Deal” and I was hooked about half way through. We had to go to bed early cause B was getting up early in the morning.
Thursday 3/9, B called to say he wouldn’t be coming over until later than usual, so I started making curry then and ate mine. I called him after I took my first bite to tell him that it was a good batch and that got him moving. He came over and we watched OC then went to bed.
Wednesday 3/8, I had to pick Peggy up at the airport so I put in an extra hour and a half at work and finally made it home where B was waiting because he had been stuck in traffic due to 520 being shut down. He had made a pizza so I ate the last slice of that and had a salad. We watched Top Model but he had to go home before the first actual episode aired, so I watched that by myself then I watched the finale of Project Runway where I was disappointed to find out that Chloe won, I was really rooting for Daniel because I liked the majority of his pieces better than Chloe’s. Plus he’s cuter.
Tuesday 3/07, more of the same, my weeks are fairly monotonous I know, but I got to watch Scrubs and read a little more of my book. Little King Edward just died, I kind of know what happens next but I’ll get a full detailed account if I can continue on and finish the damn thing.
Monday 3/06, Did some grocery shopping after work then made a humongo salad for dinner and just hung out in my room until it was time for bed. I read some of the book that has taken me like 4 months to get 150 pages in, fell asleep by 9:00 and B woke me up by calling, I read a little more and went to bed for real.
Sunday 3/05, we had some things we wanted to do so we started by getting B’s oil changed and eating our leftovers then my cramps started up again so I laid down and while he was on his computer his dad called to say that were going to be at McMillimans or whatever so we drove down and met his parents and Grandma and had “Lunch v2”. That was fun, then we went to David Smith so I could look for a little table and found a coffee table I like but didn’t even think of buying. We went home so I could have a changing of the guard then headed out to see the open house up on Capitol Hill that I’ve wanting to see for like 6 months, so we did that and both really liked it (at $1.975m who wouldn’t like it?) and talked with the realtor a little bit. It was great, then we headed down to the U-District to go to American Apparel but didn’t get anything and headed back to B’s house. We got into another kind of tiff back at his place but managed through it and ended up downstairs watching the Academy Awards or whatever and I left his house after Jake Gyllenhaal did his little segment. I watched the rest of them at home and called B to talk about our issues a little more then went to bed.
Saturday 3/04, We made waffles for breakfast and he did some laundry so I watched tv until it was done. When it was we drove into Seattle so we could go look at tile, but we couldn’t find the tile place so we decided to go to Gorditos to get something to eat. We were kind of in a tiff but managed to smooth things out without actually talking about it. We watched some X-Files with Jason when we got back to his house, the one really gross one where the sons have sex with the Mom, it was pretty freaky and I missed half of it cause my eyes were closed. Then B made cornbread and all the roommates gathered and we watched Swiss Family Robinson together. We had some good laughs during that one. I had cramps for most of the day and I think that contributed to the tiff but also that he doesn’t pay attention sometimes.
Friday 3/03, I went home after work and hung out until B came over to spend the night. We watched Walk the Line then went to sleep.
Thursday 3/02, Got into bed when I got home again, it seems to be all I ever do. Oh except taking out the trash / recycle, wiping up the counters and cleaning the kitchen sink. I do those things all the time too. I finished watching SatC Season 2 then I read this one blog that I can’t get enough of these days. It’s all I want to do, read this particular blog. I did that until I it was time for bed. No shower because those give me yeast infections.
Wednesday 3/01, B came over kind of late to spend the night and sure enough I took a shower again and the yeasties flared up again, so I used my backup stash of cream and proceeded to be miserable and uncomfortable for the rest of the night while B dreamed happily away in the middle of the bed.
Tuesday 2/28, called Dr as soon as I woke up and the receptionist said Dr would have to call me back. She prescribed me some Diflucan or whatever and is putting me on a regimen of it to help prevent them from springing up and out of nowhere. So on the way home I stopped and picked up the Rx and also Walk the Line. I proceeded to go home, get into bed and watch Walk the Line. Joaquin Phoenix is soooo gawgeous. Mmm. I had some weird dreams about making out with Spencer and also about this girl I went to EHS with. Weird.
Monday 2/27, I went home after work and just hung out, boy what else is new? Um, I took a super long super hot shower and when I got out I knew I had a yeast infection, yay! What else is new? I had some stuff and used it and made a mental note to call Dr in the morning.
