Half-drunken five am update
Tonight was my little sister's highschool graduation. I ate too much fruit from the sangria pitcher and i'm just now working it off. But - regardless, tonight i was proud of Becca. It was funny, because the feeling came over me and i didn't even know why. I certainly did not expect it. It got close to her row, and then her name and i was almost on the edge of my seat. I found myself getting anxious because the audience (presumably very bored by the time we got to the R's) was very active and i was afraid someone would be standing in the way and i would miss her walking across the stage.
I looked for Foster - couldn't find him. Becca said she saw him a million times.
Afterwards the family went back my mom's for a picnic type dinner.
It was much nicer than my own graduation. Mine was very high stress - to many people. Seperate family and friend parties are a requirement now.
Mick and i want to buy a house. We have an agent - a friend of ours - and she has showed us a few houses, we like a couple of them. However, it is very stressful. I feel awkward saying too much about the house because we decided that Mick would buy it - being he has most of the money - and we would live there. So, if Mick is making this massive purchase with his money - none of mine - i feel i don't have the right to say much. If i say - "this carpet is hideously ugly, we should replace it." He will say - "nah, i could just steam clean it."
And that frustrates me beyond belief, he doesn't want the carpet because its in good condition and a decent color and lacking of stains, which are all valid reasons for keeping a carpet, he just doesn't want to spend the money on a new one. But if you are buying an OLD house because that is all you can afford, more than likely it will need a new carpet (or something of a similar nature). He's all about doing dealing with what you are given because its cheaper, he will just accept. I am not like that.
Keeping on the carpet example, but we have had this conversation on multiple different types of things, if the carpet is ancient, moldy, stained and ugly in color - i will buy a new one ESPECIALLY if i can afford it (which we easily could.)
He would steam clean it.
I'M SORRY! STEAM CLEANING ONLY DOES SO MUCH!!!!!!! it isn't a miracle!
the cheapness and accepting things "as-is" is an issue. One that is slowly being worked through - also the situation could be helped if more of my own money was fueling the operation.
But, issues aside - i am excited. Buying, decorating, and maintaining a house is something i want to do - and i want to do it with Mick. The stress levels are high on multiple things - but i think when things calm down it will be wonderful. And i know he feels the same way - otherwise why else would he be doing it as well.
Currently - many of my evenings are spent with Justin (For those of you who knew Cody in high school - his older brother). He and i go for coffee, or work on our goal of watching all 7 seasons of Buffy and then all 5 seasons of Angel in order. We have a nice time together - and he really helps me deal with Mick issues.
I work often. Mick and i live in an apartment in Hikes point. We have two cats, and we have some current frustrations - but life is good.
