The bar was fun last night...lots of friends, drinks and fun songs. Fun presents from T and Chris V. too! Today I'm feeling peachy after subs and cake for lunch and balloons at my desk all day reminding me that I'm a year older. Thanks to my boy, the food decision was made easy last night by starting my birthday out with Taco Bell after the bar ( Read more... )

I'm at lunch, which consists of Dannon fat free vanilla yogurt over vanilla almond granola, sweet baby carrots, popcorn and water. I'm trying to decide where to go tomorrow night for my birthday dinner. I'm thinking either Todai, Yuki, Koji (all of which are sushi) or Taco Bell. I know, I know...Taco Bell? Yeah, well...It's my damn birthday and ( Read more... )

I have to get rid of a crapload of stuff before I move. My bed, a futon, a loveseat, bookshelves...oi. Anyone know anyone who needs any stuff?

$1200 of super fantastic furniture from the glorious shopping mecca that is IKEA got crammed into a rented Toyota Matrix on Saturday evening. The furniture cramming was followed by a stop in Tacoma for grub at Hooters. They didn't have the black Hooters tank top in stock, so I didn't get anything there other than a yummy grilled cheese sandwich ( Read more... )

We're going to Seattle tomorrow to check out and possibly buy furniture at IKEA. In trying to figure out the best way to get up there and have room in whatever vehicle we take to bring stuff back, Matt found out that one can rent cars from dealerships. He's been wanting a Toyota Matrix and thought it would be fun to drive one to Seattle. So he ( Read more... )

I've never lived with anyone I've been dating before. Things have never gotten this serious. I'm nervous, but in a good way. I've also never been very good at managing my money. There's never been anyone but myself to think of when it came to how I spent what I earned and whenever I was broke, things always seemed to work themselves out. ( Read more... )

The deposit has been paid and the date has been set. Beware the Ides of March, yo. We move into our new place on NW 23rd and Everett March 15th. Got to clean out and sell off or trash a bunch of crap before then. The trip idea has been postponed until further notice but I still have my birthday celebrating and new apartment decorating to look ( Read more... )

So, it appears the Army is still on the table for discussion. The "not going" thing was amended to "not going right now." He's still thinking about it and just wasn't ready to sign his life away last Saturday like they wanted him to... and everytime the subject comes up, he gets very serious and dejected and I end up crying. I asked him last ( Read more... )

Fun weekend... stayed home Friday night, made dinner and watched tv. Went shopping with my boy Saturday and then met up w/ T & D for dinner at Navarro and pool and singing at the bar after. Yesterday I woke up to the smell of french toast and bacon - M had gone to the store and gotten movies, bought me a vanilla latte (my favorite) and pepper ( Read more... )

As I type this, he's telling the recruiter that he's not going to join the Army. I have never been so relieved. I'm crazy in love with this boy and it would have killed me if he'd gone.
