Sunday 2/25, I woke up at 7:30 again and couldn’t fall back asleep so I got up and started my day. I got dressed and ready then headed to the store for grocery shopping and on my way home Kay-See called about brunch and asked if we could move it up a little so I dropped my groceries then headed over to her house and picked her up. We decided it would be a good idea to call ahead to get our name on the always long list of names, and Justin (Bun) answered and told me very succinctly that they didn’t do that and I told Kay-See afterward that I should have told him to let me speak to Michael. We arrived to no wait and Michael was right there so he was like “Sit in my section!” so we did and it was so fun and he talked about watching his “sports” such as tennis and women’s billiards, so I said “Rack em bitch!” We decided not to split something in celebration of the fact that there was no wait…like it was a sign or something, so I got the Ham Ramble Scramble or something and Kay-See got the mushroom omelet with gruyere, yum! Michael took many breaks to sit and chat with us and he asked our opinion on a boy issue then said that maybe soon we could go get breakfast / brunch together. Kay-See and I talked about religion and how it’s changed and almost has to change with society for it to continue to exist…or something. We had fun talking about boys again and about my theory that I’m Eric’s “Jake” aka a nice girl, but that I’m not a good girl to everyone, like my ex-bfs, essentially, it depends on the person to determine who you’re a good girl to…but that maybe I’m just too vanilla to Eric, not enough edge. Michael came back and asked us what we were doing for the rest of the day and I told him hanging out with my cat and he suggested dressing up for the Oscars then I suggested putting Jacques in a tux and then he suggested crafting a little red carpet and make J walk down it and take his picture. Then Kay-See asked Michael what he was doing and he said some friend was having a birthday party and that Eric was going to be there then asked if I’d talked to him lately and I was like “Well…” and told him about Friday night and that I had just wanted to convey to Eric that I didn’t hate him and I hoped he doesn’t hate me and he said “He knows, and no, he doesn’t. No need to call him anymore, just call me and I’ll tell you” or something like that. It was a lot of fun and it made me excited for next week. I drove Kay-See home then called Chrystol and told her I would call her later to see if they would be around then called Susan to see if she wanted to hang out. We took off for downtown and after cutting a guy off to get a parking spot we were on our way downtown on foot. Urban Outfitters first where we said hi to Brett (hot!), then Anthropologie, Nordstrom for some MAC makeup, Victoria’s Secret (no Heather) for my free pair of underwear that I ended up not wanting because it was, as Susan put it, butt floss, then down to Barnes and Noble and eventually made our way back to the car and made it in one piece despite Susan stepping on multiple loose cobblestones and soaking her feet and jeans. We headed back up to Capitol Hill, found parking, walked to American Apparel then over to Broadway Grill so Susan could get some lunch and I could continue to stuff my face with a completely unnecessary and undeserved piece of Snickers cheesecake (they were out of the cobbler, or so our waiter said…Susan thinks he was just saving the last piece for himself for his lunch break). I asked the girl behind us if I could use her mustard and she was so pissed off, I was like, um, is she serious? Lighten the fuck up. It was really bizarre and Susan said she kept rolling her eyes, even after I returned it to her in pristine condition. I thought our waiter hated me then he comes over and starts chatting away about the Oscars and MTV awards and all this other random shit then walked away and Susan and I just looked at each other like, what was that?! Susan suggested writing my number on one of the dollar bills, but I thought he was gay, so I didn’t. Plus he had a little ponytail. Yeah, no. We packed up and hit Vivace where we happily found Teal and he was so sweet to us and said we’d see him Thursday. There was this crazy lady in line in front of us who was making conversation with the girls in front of her about the tread of their three inch tall industrial style goth boots. V. random. We headed back to Susan’s and I was off to Chrystol and Schuyler’s where I was promised I would find a naked Jason but when I arrived I was sadly disappointed, plus B was there which disappointed me even more, but I love how hideous his facial hair is and C and S tease him that he copied Leonardo DiCaprio’s facial hair. I hung out there for about an hour or a little more watching the various pre-Oscars’ shows and talking about making out with Cate Blanchett. Austin showed up with Bloc the Jack Russell and we laughed about how he hates B. I eventually left and called Court on the way there and we talked about our cats and various wedding plans. I put Forrest Gump on and vegged out while J ran around in the hall. I went to bed relatively early after watching a few episodes of Miami Ink.
Saturday 2/24, I couldn’t find J when I woke up but eventually found him under my bed but he didn’t want to come out. I went and got gas at Costco then some chap stick at PCC. When I got home I went for my short walk, I wanted to go on my long one but it was raining pretty heavily so I decided against it and was soaked by the time I got home anyway. I showered and got ready for the day with plans to get my bridesmaid dress altered but they didn’t answer so I watched tv and sat in my room instead. Around 1:30 I left, found it fine and hopefully the woman is a miracle worker because the dress looks terrible on me. I called Chrystol on my way home and made plans to hang out later in the evening, then called home to see what time dinner was and to see if Alix and Jake wanted to come over to meet the cat and to hang out. They came over and played with the cat for a while then we went to Dairy Queen for blizzards and I flirted with the blizzarder behind the counter while Alix and Jake cringed. When we got home we put on Back to the Future and watched it until it was time to go to Mom’s for dinner where we had a beef and veggie stew over basmati rice and Filipino rice cake for dessert then finished our movie. I talked to Mom for a long time after dinner about goals for this year and moving / changing jobs / selling my house / etc. Kay-See called and was headed home so I told her to meet me at my house so we could hang out. We talked about the cat, Eric, nice guys then Chrystol and Schuyler showed up and the four of us talked, mostly about the cat, and laid around on the floor. Kay-See left when her allergies flared up and the three of us continued talking until almost midnight then I watched SNL for a little while and fell asleep.
Friday 2/23, I took Jacques to a vet appointment during the day and his health seemed to check out. I was feeling a bit impulsive as I drove home from work and started formulating what I wanted to say to Eric’s voicemail. I relaxed when I got home and continued to formulate and play with J. Around 9 I called Eric and, horror of horrors, he answered…I hadn’t anticipated this happening, I figured he would screen and let it go to voicemail. I told him I didn’t expect him to answer then asked him if he was at work, he wasn’t, then he asked me if I wanted to call back, and I asked “To leave a message?” and he was like, “Well yeah, unless you just called for shits and giggles” so I said ok, hung up, called him back and left my choreographed message. I didn’t really expect him to call back but I felt I needed him to know a few things and how I felt, so there you have it. I called Susan right after and confessed what I’d just done then we talked for a while. I eventually ended up in my room for bed and decided to leave Jacques out and, surprise of surprises, he didn’t keep me up all night and behaved himself by staying off my bed. Yay!
Thursday 2/22, I exchanged Jacques’ toy thingy to Pet Smart for a carrier and scratching post then I don’t really remember what I did at home but it probably involved overeating at dinner time and playing with Jacques until it was time to get ready for Neighbours. The OC finale was on and I cried like a little baby at the end, surprisingly I found out I wasn’t the only one since my 16 year old sister and all her friends did the same thing. I had to touch up my makeup after that then talked to Susan and decided to meet up in our usual parking place. We made haste because it was so damn cold and when we got up to the front we saw Neil, Richie, Cory and another girl whose name I’ve since forgotten, come out of the club to smoke. I got a hug from Neil and he called me Babycakes then got a hug from Richie and he complimented me on my cookies again which made me blush. It was cold so Susan and I decided to head in and got the usual hugs then Beau touched my back when I said hello to him then discussed going to Maui with Travers and Susan. We checked our coats, did an armpit lint check and headed to do a lap. We saw Tye who was wearing super short spandex and a tight top, all black and white, went over to say hi and he dipped me, and since I’ve never been dipped I didn’t know exactly what to do, but went with it. We went upstairs to watch the crowd then I felt someone pinch my butt, hard, and looked over to see Neil looking very pleased with himself. Meee-ow! Susan and I eventually went down to our usual area and started dancing it up but there were some rowdy idiots, you know, straight sorority / frat types, which thoroughly irritated Susan and me all night. Teal and Darren showed up at some point and got a kiss from Teal then talked astrology for a minute before they took off. Jeff kept coming over and dancing with us and we didn’t know what to think about it, but when some enthusiastic gay guy tried to hit on him Jeff came running to us for help and I gladly distracted him. He yelled “He’s cute for being straight!” and we conversed and danced together with glee for the next couple songs. I think Jeff was grateful and Susan couldn’t stop laughing at us. He thought I was from the Mid-West and told me he was from O-H-I-O. Some guy tried to dance with Susan and me so we both stopped dancing, looked at him, looked back at each other and just stood there. He got the point real quick. We decided to take off at the same time and hurried to our cars then drove home and went to bed.
Wednesday 2/21, I stayed a little late at work and talked with Sue when I got home about attending the home owner’s meeting together. I made a little dinner and went to feed Jacques but found he had chewed through the bag while I was gone and must have consumed parts of the bag because I couldn’t find them. I gave him a little more food thinking he must be starving if he’s chewing through a heavy duty plastic cat food bag…needless to say the cat food was locked up after that. Pretty soon it was time to go to the meeting so we walked over and I’d like to quickly forget the next two hours that took place, what with all the homeowner bickering, 5% dues increase and a $3,000 new assessment. Joy! After coming back home I gave J a little attention and did a few chores before going up to my room and getting ready for bed.
