o geeze. it has been forever since i've updated this thing.
mmm... let's see...
I AM SO HAPPY.
it's friggin' ridiculous, i tell you.
other than my amazing boyfriend, there's my awesome job and my awesome friends.
i guess everything isn't as awesome as it could be. i don't really have any friends that like me in charleston... except at work. my best friend is in huntington and i only get to go there friday evening and can only stay until sunday and that's only if i don't have mandatory overtime, rar.
i miss my huntington friends a ton. carissa's birthday is this weekend though, and i can't wait! i miss her so much.
friends here? well, i've lived here for about three months now and have only hung out with my charleston friends 5 times tops. i've told them when i'm available and tried to make plans to see them, but they're busy. of course. i guess i HAVE been away for a few years. i suppose they're just busy with new people, i dunno.
but i DO know i hang out with people i've known for three months WAY more than i do some i've known for over ten. i mean... what the frig? hehh.
most of my new friends are from work and are super cool, though, so i guess it's okay. a little sad, but okay nonetheless.
my best friend, though, HAS to be christopher. i didn't know guys like him existed. you always read how a guy is supposed to treat a lady and dream that you'll get it-- but i GOT it. oh man, did i get it.
he is SO freggin sweet.
i mean, any guy who will wait while a girl gets out of a year and a half relationship they're stuck in for three weeks HAS to be a keeper, right? hehe
i don't ever have to worry about how much he likes me and i know he always wants to hang out with me; just like i always want to hang out with him. we have SO much fun together no matter what we're doing and he's soooo silly. i love it. i've never been able to be myself this much in front of anyone before.
once... i lost my keys and couldn't lock my apartment and had to go to work, so he checked on it for me when i was gone. i called and told him i was sorry about the mess and that i'd clean tomorrow, i promised. well it turns out he had already cleaned my entire apartment. for no reason at all. just because he didn't want me to have to do it i guess.
another time... we argued about something silly and i was mad at him when i went to work. i had forgotten all about it and was busy being hot in the 20398023 degree whether working the sidewalk sale cash register. well someone behind me asked if we sold water-- they were parched. i turned around and it was him! he walked 3 miles to see me just because he thought i was still mad at him. THEN he had to walk the three miles back.
he buys me flowers for no reason. once because i took him to the pet store a couple times to buy some reptiles. like it was any inconvience to me... i just wanted to be around him.
he bought me tickets to see so you think you can dance the same day i looked them up and decided they were too much. i didn't even mention them to him, he saw them and got the idea himself. i ALWAYS have to hint to guys what would be sweet.
i got my christmas present early too. a ticket to boston for several days on christmas day to meet his family. i get to spend my whole birthday with him AND he took into consideration that i'm OBSESSED with christmas and can't be away from my family. by 3:00 we're all laying around in our seperate rooms playing with our new cool stuff. this year, i'll be on a plane (he gave me the window seat, of course, eeeeeee!) with the best guy in the world.
i could go on and on and on and on. do you get the picture? haha.
my friends approve. i trust totally trust him and would never even dream of him cheating on me. he feels the same about me. how much more could you ask for, seriously?
*sigh* okay. i'll stop, i'm sorry. i just don't get to tell people that often how wonderful to me he is.
pooples had a birthday this month! september 24th (the same day my brother turned 27). she's 2 years old now, my baby!
scuttle butt had a birthday this month too. september 11th. she's 1 year old now, our baby!
jo went to the doctor because she was shedding so much, but the doctor just gave her a shot and said it was her allergies. apparently she seems pretty healthy to him. especially for a 17 year old cat.
toby's birthday was the same as christophers (august 24th). it was a good day. toby got a sweet looking toy. and chris got 21 different packages of presents... one for each day he's been alive.
he deserved 2394823. but i can only work so much, you know!
oh, did i mention he's super smart?
my job. i LOVE my job. without my job, our clients, people who have been REALLY wronged by big companies that knew they were hurting people, wouldn't get compensation for what was done to them. i mean, it sucks to see what happened to all these people- to read about it every day- but it feels really good to help take some money away from the people who did it to them and give them something for their troubles. or at least something to the people who loved them that are left behind.
PLUS i don't just lay around all day. i work from 8-5, sometimes 6, sometimes with no lunch, most of the time with at least 5 extra hours a week and it feels amazing. even on the weekends i have to get up long before 12 (i used to get up at 4pm) and do something or i feel like i wasted an entire day.
i LOOOOOOOOVE work.
i've been exercising too.
mostly because my cholesterol was 240 a few months ago, but also because it just feels good.
i run the steps 3 times a day and run at least a mile (most of the time 2) on the tredmill at least every other night. more if i feel like i ate too much bad stuff.
i love it.
basically... i love everything right now, haha.
i'm so happy it's silly.
if the worst thing wrong is my friends not caring about me anymore, then i'd say i'm in good shape. even though that part still sucks.
i love the friends that do care and make an effort to hang out with me. the ones who don't replace me when i'm not in their town every single day. the ones who don't call me only when they need something or feel like crap-- though i am happy to be there for them, don't get me wrong. and maybe they'd be there for me too, i don't know, i don't feel comfortable finding out.
and i love by amazing boyfriend.
and i love my animals.
and i love my family.
and i love my job.
i'm just so happy right now, i don't even want to make you sick gushing about it!
haha
and i hope you people are doing just as well!
