Wednesday 4/16, I finally got a text from Eric saying he was thinking about me and hoped I would have a good day and that he'd call me later. So I knew to expect a phone call between 6 and 7 that evening. I like that he's consistent. I texted with Zach trying to nail down a time to meet but he's being elusive and blaming it on his wife. I talked to Mom who told me my list wasn't over there, booohooo! Where did I put it?! After work I stopped by the store for a few things for the night's gathering at Kay-See's. I made the cornbread when I got home and cleaned the kitchen and spruced my flowers which still look great. I talked to Susan and tried not to snack because I knew I'd be overeating later. Just as I was about to walk out the door my phone rang (7:00 on the nose) and it was Eric. We exchanged pleasantries then he asked if next week he could prepare dinner and bring it over and pop it in the oven and we could watch a movie. I told him he was cute and that I loved that idea. He also said he's going to be up here Saturday and that if I was around and not busy I should keep that in mind. We talked a little longer then we hung up and I walked out the door. Traffic was awful, even the carpool lane, and soon I was on the line with Susan trying to find out what was going on. No conclusions except that something at Qwest was goin down, so I called K and told her it would be a while. In the tunnel all these people were honking and hanging out their windows with Mexican flags and t-shirts it was so hilarious I knew whatever was causing the traffic had to be Mexi-related. I called Susan so she could hear the pandemonium and she looked again and there was a Mexico / China soccer game which explained it. I got off on Rainier and made my way up, found parking insanely close and went up. K and Ky had been chatting and eating yummy feta and caramelized onion tartlets. K had been working on her list and I was cracking up at some of her things like "Not in a band" which I thought was probably the funniest one. I put my barrel drawing on the fridge and put the hot guy at the top along with me and Ky and Ky fixed his martini glass and K licked up the spill. She started on the frittata and I ate almost all the remaining tarts plus some licorice. Ky kept saying I had diarrhea and was lactating. “Dear Karrah. You have the runs. Love, Kyle” to which I laughed every time. He said K was constipated which I laughed at too. We went through dinner with fun conversation and cornbread and zucchini and tomato frittata, yum! We went through a lot of M&Ms and more licorice after dinner and continued the conversing on the floor looking at baby SOB online then some of my flickr pictures then myspace to see the comment Zeph left on one of my pictures that he must’ve thought he was leaving on K’s. We also looked at the retarded girl Ian made out with and they both laughed hysterically and K whine-ally asked why I wouldn’t have just one kid so that we could be together because she loves him so much. I know K, I know. Ky wanted to play a version of “fuck, live, cliff” that used “boff” as fuck. So he was giving all kinds of combinations, the hardest being between him, Richie and Neil. K didn’t have any problems with it though. Camping has been confirmed for the first weekend in June but up at Granite Falls which is where those women were killed and is quite a drive from what I remember. I wish we were just doing Kachess again. Around 10 Ky took off and I stayed for a few minutes while K cleaned then took off too. Drove home and climbed into bed.
Tuesday 4/15, I talked to Jess while at work and we discussed her next trips home and her endeavors and Billy. After work I put on some Ween and Belle & Sebastian and started going through pictures and put a bunch into frames so that felt good and I talked Alishia for most of it and discussed her and Aaron's trip up and the logistics of lodging and transportation, then she told me she canceled her cable and I was very proud of her. She's saving $30 a month and that will really add up. Then we talked house stuff a bit and what $450 will buy you. I hopped in the shower quickly and got ready, ate some dinner and headed out to Mom's because Dad had finished my computer. I called Chrystol on the way over and invited her to Kay-See's since I was going to be there instead of at my house watching ANTM. At Mom's we discussed what would be on her list and she had some interesting additions and most of them overlapped mine. I hit the road so I wouldn't be late and called Susan and we kept getting cut off then I had to go because I was there. Sean was running behind and that was fine so I flipped through a W and called Ky who didn't know that we were really doing girls' night at K's so I gave him the lowdown and told him I'd text him when I was heading over. I called Susan back and we chatted until Sean was ready for me. The woman before me wouldn't leave and I was getting irritated, like, you've had your session - back out bitch! It's my Sean time! Then after she left he told me she's hot for teacher. Clearly. I asked him what would be on his list and he provided some good ones that I wrote down. I told him about Eric, the new one, not the redhead or the bouncer and he said that was fine, all long as his name is Eric. We discussed Kassie and Skylar and strong personalities and how he thought Kassie was fat when he first met her because of her hair. He told me about his siblings a bit and I told him about my trip down to CA with the fam then we discussed high school reunions and how I can't wait for mine and he said his was a blast so that makes me even more excited so overall it was a very thorough chatting session. Plus my hair is ADORABLE. He gave me cuter bangs. It's a bit short but shit, it's better than it looking terrible. I think my hair just grows super slow or something. I got a hug and rolled out wondering when the hell Eric is going to call me. Arrived home at 10 and prepped for bed and got my computer up and running and it's going to take some getting used to because the icons are different and I can't find the recycle bin. I'll be fine. I tried calling Ian because I saw he was online but he didn't answer so I went to bed.
Monday 4/14, I got off work a little early and was very much looking forward to a quiet relaxing evening at home to try and finally give my body what it needs to get better. I did a little tv watching and magazine reading then called Alan to see what my computer status was and it wasn't completely set up so I told him I would drop off the software later that evening. I made some HH and it wasn't as good as the Grocery Outlet generic, but still worth eating. I showered and washed my hair in preparation for my appointment the next day with Sean and was getting dressed when Kay-See called and asked what I was doing. I told her I had to run to Mom's and she asked if I wanted to come over and I said "Of course! As long as you don't mind that I'm in my sweats and not wearing a bra!" and she said she would have it no other way so I grabbed my Cheetoes and Lemon cookies and hit the road. I called Ian because I haven't really talked to him since I saw him and he was working on his bike with a friend and asked if he could call me back. I told him I was on my way to K's and that she'd broken up with him and he was glad then asked if everything was ok and I asked him defensively why he always asks that and he said that's the only reason I ever call, I told him it wasn't and that he NEVER calls me. "That's what myspace is for" and I laughed that he doesn't write on that either and he agreed. Oh Ian. He quickly told me he'd had his dr appt and it was the most excruciating experience of his life, "At least it's over!" I helpfully pointed out. I told him I'd talk to him later and hung up. At Mom's I dropped the stuff and talked to her for a few minutes about K and Auntie Lauryn and Grandma then left. When I arrived at K's she'd just found my Prodigal Summer and I was so excited because that means I can read it this summer! Yay! Maybe I'll take it to Hawaii, it's a great vacation book. Last time I was in France and it was a wonderful read. She was rooting for journals and pads of paper and found a "Changes" book and we both laughed heartily that she would need that one. We moved the party into the living room and Ian called but I told him I’d just arrived and K said hi to him and he returned it and she said she needed a hug and he was all “Awww, girl!” so that was cute. Afterward she said she wishes we could be together. Sighhh. We started talking about Ryan and what a jerk he is and she told me all sorts of other stories that made my blood boil but there's not much I can do about it so I kept reinforcing what a baby he is and how manipulative he is and how much better off she is and that I will never allow her to date an asshole ever again. We started making a list of all our "I Deserve"s relating to the guys we plan to end up with. They're quite lengthy and we had a blast writing them. About halfway in K was like "Ooh Republican! Catholic!" and I was like "Good one! Democrat! Agnostic!" and we furiously scribbled our respective preferences down. We both came up with some stellar traits and will both post them on our fridges just to remind ourselves what we deserve in a partner. It was a lot of fun. She got out the brand new container of Ben and Jerry's ice cream R left behind and we dug in and sarcastically thanked him. At least he was good for something. Carmel Sutra = my new love. We pulled traits from each of our exes that we wanted in new person then I asked her if she'd ever had a first kiss with someone during the day. I haven't and I'm kind of determined to. We'll see if I can swing it with Eric. Heh heh! They’ve all been at night, which isn’t all that surprising, but still interesting. At a quarter to 11 I gathered my things and said bye and that I would see her Wednesday and ran to my car. It was killing me that I couldn't check myspace before bed. I'm such an addict. I watched a little of the news then went to bed.
Sunday 4/13, I woke up around 8:30 and laid in bed reading and watching the news and saw Robert Mak. Sos called to ask if she could come over and get the lawnmower so when she arrived we got it in her car then I showed her my flowers and we talked about my date and her tax trouble and Jake's job then she took off for a day filled with chores. I crawled back into bed and watched SatC and Eric texted that he'd woken up in a pool of drool which made me laugh. I ate some lunch and texted him back thanking him again for the day before. I eventually got up and showered and headed out the door to the store calling Chrystol on the way. I told her everything and heard about their day and she found a great date spot for us next time. Ooh. She was glad the date went so well and wasn't a disaster. I did my shopping, went home and continued to relax and do a few last minute things on my computer before taking it over to Mom's for dinner. I went over early and Dad helped me move programs and files onto my external hard drive and look for batteries online. We started messing with it and now the sound works fine but it's still slow so he's going to reformat some things and reload the software. Dinner was really good (Grilled pork kebobs with peanut sauce and rice and pan-fried asparagus) and I ate more than I should have but it was too delicious not to. I stuck around a little after dinner but Mom was engrossed in the Clinton / Obama faith special so I took off. I watched tv and called Dad and talked to him and Mom about my week and their trip up here. I talked to Susan for a few minutes before DH then to Auntie Lauryn after it was over and Auntie Nona died so that's really sad. Auntie was on her way to a Taj concert and hoping to meet some cute guys so hopefully that picked up her spirits a little. Trish is getting married in LV and Auntie's not pleased. I turned everything off and drifted off to sleep and must not have been gone too long before I was woken from my slumber. It was Kay-See and she told me it's over with R and for real this time and was upset. She didn't want to talk about it until I told her about my and Eric's date so I filled her in then she started spilling. She told me something that made me so upset I started crying and told her to never allow it again and to call me. We talked for an hour and I feel like we made some progress and that she felt better by the end of it and knows the direction she needs to go in. For the record I hate Ryan and think he's a complete lunatic. He's nuts. Truly. We hung up after midnight and I had a little bit of trouble going to sleep but was so relieved that she's done with him.
Tuesday 4/15, I talked to Jess while at work and we discussed her next trips home and her endeavors and Billy.
