Thursday 10/2, I stayed way late at work (6:45) and there was a crazy car crash on the parkway. At home I ran around trying to pack and eat and clean up and managed to get it all done in addition to making multiple phone calls. I was on Facebook for a second and Ian im-d me and we were trying to chat but his connection was spotty so I just called him but he didn't answer so I left him a voicemail that was like "Hey jerk, I know you're there!" etc. On my drive in he called back and was laughing, I presume, at my message. He was drunk and had just watched the VP debate and was talking trash about Palin and I thought it was hilarious. We talked until I got to Neighbs and said he misses talking to me and that we should do it more often and just get past the initial awkwardness of phone calls that he always feels. We hung up and Susan and I walked up. There were quite a few people there considering it was before 11. We checked our coats and danced a bit then upstairs for spying. We ended up back on the floor and the song selection was pretty good. I spotted Teal and Susan spotted Darren. As we were taking a break Richie came in and we hugged and started talking and he was telling me about his recent interactions with his brother and it was nice to have a real conversation with him, not just surface bs. We went out and joined Susan and Teal and Darren and danced for a while as a group and scoped people out. It was a fun night and the music was good so I didn't want to go but finally did around 12:30 because I had a big day ahead.
Wednesday 10/1, Eric forgot his stuff at my house so he had to come back up. He got there around 6 and we took off right away for Home Depot so I could look at fan / light combos for my bathroom and also picked up some putty. We walked over to a little mexi place and had a filling dinner. Back at home we settled in for ANTM with a box of Thin Mints and I balanced my checkbook. After it was over he went up to bed and I called Kay-See to discuss the cruise and to check in online. When I went upstairs he was passed out so I got ready for bed and crawled in and read a magazine for a while then went to sleep as well. Like 10:15.
Tuesday 9/30, Eric asked if it would be ok for him to come up instead of Wed and I said of course, but it wouldn't be til later. I got home and cleaned up a little then hopped in the shower and got ready for a little surprise for him. He called and said he was 30 minutes out so I rushed around then read some gossip until I saw him pull in, put on a special play list and started doing the dishes. When he came up and saw what I was wearing he dropped the phone books and his jaw was on the floor. He asked what I was doing and I said the dishes and acted coy and told him to come over and see. We made out in the kitchen for a while then into the living room and finished the job, but definitely took our time. I was hungry so I heated up some leftovers and steamed broccoli for myself. We watched a couple episodes of SatC then went upstairs and crawled into bed because we were both exhausted.
Monday 9/29, I worked late then hit the store then home where I started to make some dinner because I was starving. I played online then started organizing pictures and started uploading to flickr. I talked to Eric at the store and we made plans for later in the week then I talked to Susan before GG about Thursday. Watched my show and continued to upload then a special on Oprah about heroin addicts that was incredibly disturbing. I also uploaded pics to facebook and eventually made it upstairs at 11:30. I read in bed a bit then went to sleep.
Sunday 9/28, Eric got up early and started on breakfast and I was so tired I just kept sleeping but at 8:30 told myself to get up and help because people were going to be there sooon. Susan called and said she was going to come so that was good then Chrystol saying they were leaving and both wanted to know if they could pick anything up but we were good. I went down and Eric was working away so I tried to help a little and clean up for people. I got dressed and got the computer out to download the pics from the night before when C & S pulled in and were surprised they were the first to arrive. Next was Susan and lastly Sos and Jake. Everyone just hung out and talked and moved between the kitchen and living room. Finally breakfast was ready and we had quite the spread: special french toast, eggs, bacon, pineapple and potatoes with green and red peppers. We all sat around the table and ate and talked and it was a lot of fun. Afterward I started cleaning and people helped put things away then Sos and Jake left to get the dogs ready or something. The rest of us continued to talk politics and clean then were all ready to go so Susan headed out and the rest of us went to Sos' after Eric put my shoes on for me. We picked up Sos and the dogs and laughed at Duke in the front seat as we drove there. Parking was a bitch but we managed and us girls used the bathroom before starting our hike up. It was a nice one because of the company but also the weather was wonderful and much cooler the higher we went. The trail was packed however. The boys took off at one point and beat us to the first look out then we all went to the top together and sat for a while in the sun and laughed at the dogs. Back down was much easier but my toes hurt in my shoes and I made a mental note to not wear those again because my feet slide too much on the descent. We went to REI and Chrystol and I both bought something while the boys both bought something to eat at Safeway. We drove home and said bye to C & S then sat on the couch and relaxed and realized how tired I was. I insisted on watching an episode of SatC then it was almost time to go to Mom's for dinner so we both hopped in a shower and got ready then out the door. At Mom's I learned Droohv and Akemi would be coming and talked with Grandma about our day. I nibbled on brie then had a little salad then we all sat down to enjoy bbq chicken and macaroni and it was so good I ate a ton. Grandma was eager for her cake, but she wanted hers with flour. We all laughed and Eric helped Mom dish up with ice cream and the two of us finished off Dad's cake. Grandma was ready to go home so we packed her up and off we went. Eric made sure Toto did his business while I got Grandma inside then he found her dishwasher soap and we hit the bricks. At home I was so tired but cleaned the kitchen a little then sat on the couch then upstairs and into bed. Eric was putting me to sleep with his kisses but I managed to get it up then we went to sleep.
Saturday 9/27, We woke up and went to get gas then on the way home talked to Mom about plans for later that day. At home we had some cereal with some banana and hung out and Eric suggested finishing painting the doorway to the stairs so we got our clothes on and started that project with lots of running around trying to find razors and paint brushes and paint but eventually got most of it done and it looked pretty good. At least better than it's looked for a long time. Eric asked if he could make me a special french toast the next morning and I said of course and that we should invite some people so I made some calls and set up a big breakfast event. We hopped in the shower and messed around with me almost passing out. We got dressed and headed out to Dania and looked around then Costco Home where I found the carpet I want to put in the bedrooms and made an appointment for a consultation. I talked to Mom and Uncle Brad multiple times and made plans to meet in Everett at the VFW Hall. We headed up there and appreciated the nice weather. Found the Hall with no problems and found Queen B and joined him upstairs until Heidi and Hailey arrived and we all talked. Mom and Dad showed up and I felt bad for Dad because he still felt like shit. We sat there for a long time talking and Eric used his dark arts power to get Dad to agree that it would be a good idea for us to go snow shoeing in Plain this winter. After the UW bus left with Dad and UB the rest of us headed up north to Marshall's for Auntie to return something and the rest of us shopped and I found a ton of shit. I got an Ed Hardy belt and a bunch of soap and a little thick knit cardigan. Next we went over to Red Robin but the place was packed and we needed to get going anyway so I said bye to everyone and we drove back to my house discussing what to eat for dinner. We stopped by the store for some items and I got checked out by no less that four guys and Eric thought it was hilarious. At home he made dinner while I got ready then we enjoyed it in front of the tv and Kay-See told me not to hurry. I rolled out a little after 9 I think and parked in the garage when I arrived. I met Gina finally and we sat talking for a while before deciding to go. I drove down and we found parking very easily and walked over scouting out all the cute boys. In we went and onto the floor for some dancing and bull watching. I spotted Andy and tapped him and got a nice big hug and chatted with him for a minute then let him go but not before he gave me another big hug and said it was good to see me and added "baby" on the end. On the floor things were insane and these guys were like vultures. The minute you turn one away another one is right behind him waiting for his chance to try for a dance. K was like "It's really hard being the prettiest girls here" which I agreed with. I saw a cute guy get on the bull and took a picture then when I zoomed in on it I saw he had looked right at me. He stayed on forever and was really good and when he got off he came and stood right by me and was like "Hey" and he had a lip ring, mmm. So we start talking and hanging out and K and G are off gallivanting and dancing. I was having fun but was ready to go home but no one else was so I continued to watch the bull and finally had to tell Keith that I had a bf but that he was very nice and fun. We eventually got K in line for the bull and stood there forever waiting and she was the last one on (after watching Keith do it again and get props from the operator) and she did it justice and I got some pictures and video. The lights came up and we eventually migrated out and I gave Andy a hug at the door and said it was good to see him and Keith waited with us while I encouraged K to get her make out partner's info, but she didn't. He was sooo cute. I told Keith I'd find him on myspace and resisted telling him he could stay at my house because I knew Eric wouldn't be amused. We walked back to the car and I dropped off two very drunk girls and drove home. Eric was splayed out on my bed with limbs everywhere and it made me laugh really hard. When I got into bed he wanted me to tell him about it so I told him about the bull, Andy (he asked where his pizza was), Keith and Gina getting wasted. It was 2:30 and I was exhausted.
Friday 9/26, Susan was going to come over after work but ended up running errands and going home instead. I sat on the couch reading a magazine and listening to music until Eric arrived and told me it was Schuyler's birthday and I didn't want to go to Tacoma at all so I planned not to so when Kay-See called I said I was tired and would probably just do dinner and call it an early night. I went upstairs and started getting ready and missed two calls while I was in the shower. One was Kay-See asking me to call her and that she was having a really hard time and asking me to come over after dinner. I finished getting ready then we were out the door in our separate cars. I called Eric on the way and was shocked that he picked up. He told me he moved and started a new job and urged me to come out but I told him I couldn't. We talked for a little bit then hung up and arrived and S and C's not long after. I beat Eric and as we waited for him Chrystol played happy birthday on the glockenspiel she got S for his birthday. Eric arrived and told us about the lady he yelled at while at the stop light. We set off for Ballard on foot and got a table right away at the Indian place. We ordered (veggie curry for me) and ate and talked and laughed and had a good time. We stayed for a while then walked back and stopped at the store for some potato chips then back to theirs where I left and told Eric I'd see him later. I drove over to K's and she was feeling better but still down. We laid on her bed and talked and had zesty lemon sorbet and she had some chips and we just talked. I told her what Eric asked me to tell her and she appreciated it. We had a nice time and did some laughing and planning for the next night. A little after midnight I headed out and Eric was showering when I got home. We got ready for bed and talked a little and went to sleep.
Thursday 9/25, Dad cancelled due to vertigo so I asked Susan if she wanted to come over and she accepted and was waiting for me when I got home swaddled in the pink blanket. We talked for a long time and around 7 decided to try and find shoes and dinner. We hit shoes first but didn't really find anything so we went to a little teriyaki place I've always wanted to try and put our order in and went home with our spoils. We watched Jeopardy and ate at the coffee table and talked. After dinner, as if I hadn’t' stuffed myself to the max enough, I cut up an apple and snacked on it while we continued to talk in the living room. I did some laundry folding upstairs and around 9 she went home and I kept up with the laundry and called Eric to make plans for the weekend. I stayed up for a while doing things around the house and while I was updating this thing I went back to open the net and saw this flash of Ian’s name but when I looked up I only saw “facebook” on the tab but then it did it again so I looked and Ian had sent me a little series of im-s: “P*enk. I’m headed to bed. I hope you’re great.” It kind of made my night. I always think he has no interest in knowing me anymore so it’s reassuring to receive something like that. I posted and got ready for bed. Yawwn.
Wednesday 9/24, Woke up to some fondling and ended up getting down then Eric took right off so he wouldn’t be late for work. Got off a bit early, stopped at QFC, home where I ran around doing stuff and eating bread and cheese. Uploaded some videos then talked to Kay-See about Friday and she’s sick too. Eric called and we talked for a few minutes and I told him to have fun at the game. I had some cake and updated this.
