The day I stop being amazed by you is going to be a very sad day. I hope it never comes. :)
Friday night I came home from work, hung around the house, relaxed, did some laundry, watched Monk and Psych, and went to bed.
Saturday I woke up to a call at 10 "Hey honey. Whatcha doin' today?" :)
Those kind of phonecalls are allowed to wake me up - for sure.
He had to march in the parade and then get back to Hicksville before we were gonna hang - so I dicked around the house, showered, went to Ikea with Daddy and Patty - where we got some freakin awesome stuff for my room (FULL SIZE MATTRESS - WHAT, WHAT?!) And he came and picked me up from Ikea when he got back to Hicksville. We spent the next 3-4 hours asleep, because that's what we do when we're near each other. Instantly fall asleep. :P When we woke up we had some dinner, hung out with his family for a bit, and then went to Chris' house for a bit. We made plans with Chris and Adam to go see Tropic Thunder, so we picked up Adam and were on our way. Movie was pretty freakin funny. Afterwards we dropped the boys off and went back to his house. We watched the Bob Saget Roast (hilarious), had some sexy time, and then fell asleep.
Sunday we didn't wake up until a little after 1. I showered, he called Chris to invite him over to watch the Jets game - and they spent the afternoon teaching me about football. (The game is so much less boring when you understand what is going on, even a little.) We ordered some sushi, which was soooo good - I hadn't had any in a looong time, and we put on the Yankee game (ewwww!). We switched back and forth between the Mets and the Yanks for awhile, and then Chris went home.
(( Two awesome things about Sunday... ))
1. I spent like 20 minutes out on Danny's front porch with Chris just sitting in the sunshine and listening to him play acoustic versions of Refills songs - ( I REFUSE TO CALL THEM ATTEMPT AT PERFECTION!!! )and just thinking about how amazing it is to have these people back in my life. :)
2. I was present for a JETS game. The Jets are like - INSANELY - important to Danny. I remember one time back when we were dating 5 years ago and he went to a Jets game with his dad, and he called me in the middle of the game just to say Hi. This was after having a conversation the previous night about how nothing is more important than football. I felt so freaking special. I think I even wrote a poem about it at the time. (I was writing poems about EVERYTHING at that point in my life - don't laugh at me!!) But yeah - 5 years later - that story must have still been lingering in the back of my mind while sitting around watching the game with the guys, cause I just sat back and smiled at one point. :)
Danny was tired (don't ask me how...I have no idea) and asked if it was okay with me if he took a nap for like an hour. I put on some Food Network while he napped, and was a very content little girl. At 7:45 he still hadn't really slept much, and my dad saved him by saying that he would be at my mom's house to drop off my brother around 8:15 - and that I could meet him there. Danny was pretty happy that he only had to drive me to my mom's house rather than all the way out to Hewlett - cause he was super tired and didn't feel well.
When I got home I put clothes in my new dresser and started cleaning a bit. I figured I'd put in at least an hour of work everyday until my room is looking awesome. We decided that we want to make it as "room-like" as possible and really try and utilize the space. My daddy said I have to part with my toys cause I'm 23...but toys are part of who I am. Who would I be if I didn't own a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" puzzle? :P
Work was fucking hell today. It actually wasn't even that bad - but freaking Evan and Brad were up my ass all day and I barely got anything done. Boo for no productivity and double booo for micromanaging. It's so counter-productive it hurts.
I can't believe I've been at CDE almost a year. October 10th will be a year. (Too bad my damn contract isn't up til December) I'm still torn on what to do when my contract is up. I'm learning alot, and it's not completely awful. There are days when it is intolerable, but really, that's any job. I also decided that I want to complete the certificate that the Actionscript classes I'm taking in November are a part of, so I might keep the job awhile more. It'll prolly take me a while to finish cause the classes are like 275 or so each (Not really expensive - but still. I'm trying to save/pay off bills once Boston is over with - so shelling out 500 at once so I can take more than one of them kinda sucks. I'll prolly ask for one for Christmas from Daddy/Mommy. They can split it.)It's such a good learning experience (Think back a year ago - all I knew how to do was count money and put up with shitty customers - now I'm using MYSQL on a daily basis...) but I don't actually know enough of anything to persue a career. So I may as well stick around while I'm learning to do what I actually want to do. I also might as well take complete advantage of a place where I get to play with virtual dolls all day and go to work in jeans and a tanktop.
As long as I can negotiate my contract a bit, and get even a small raise, I'll definitely stay. There's a few things I want in my next contract, but mostly I want a week of vacation - paid, and I want my contract to only be 6 months instead of a year. I don't think those are terrible demands, especially since I'm such an outstanding employee, and if they can't give me that little bit - then they're going to lose me. I'm pretty sure they will though.
This weekend is my Boston trip with Danny!!!!! :) :)
I'm totally excited to take him on our little date and just spend the weekend together. (Not that we haven't been doing this almost every weekend lately anyway...but still!! It's a cute little getaway weekend!) It's going to be greattttttttttt. <3 <3
Yay!
