Hi!
So I started an entry on Friday, left it, and now I’m not sure where the hell it went, but oh well. Must not have been that important. Either that, or Krab Kakes got her hands on it. Heh.
She’s been really, really cool with me today as she took Friday off while I busted a little ass and got some stuff done. Must have impressed her because we were able to have some good collaborative meetings today.
Tomorrow begins 4 days of yucky classes for a system that is supposed to change how I/we do my/our jobs, but the thing doesn’t go live until the beginning of March and I’m supposed to have all of my development concepts out the door by then. Yeeaaahhh. Let’s see how this year goes!
Speaking of checking things off the list, the Save the Dates for the wedding are out (with a couple of exceptions), and that feels pretty good. However, there are still a million things to do and I did not accomplish anything wedding-wise over the weekend (besides going to the post office). Still, lovely weekend considering.
Slept a lot this weekend. I can no longer stay up late. I guess it’s because I get up so damned early to work out and get ready for work. So I rarely sleep in–especially when the Tan Man (cat) knows it time for breakfast. Ugh. So I get up early and try to get things done and then I’m always, ALWAYS in bed so early at night, I feel like, super old or something. Don’t get me wrong, I adore nesting with SexyPants, but I feel like I’ve lost my good-timeyness. *sigh*
SexyPants and I did manage to get some organizing done. We can’t decide whether to move or not when SOS comes to live with us. The place is perfectly fine, but feels small now that I’ve moved in with all my junk. It’s hard to keep tidy (I think that might have a lot to do with me *ahem*), so we did a bunch of closet organizing, and I feel much better.
We are also starting to plan our dream house. This will not happen until SOS moves out (in a couple of years), but I have some ideas and we both know the area where we want to move. I think I will be spending a lot of time prepping for this dream house, knowing that two years can either be a very, very long time…or could quite possibly fly by.
SOS is doing okay in his program. Not great, but he hasn’t been kicked out yet (and that does happen, as scary as that sounds–a lot of kids don’t successfully make it through). Seeing as SOS has been expelled from several schools, I have some hope for this program.
Must keep a positive outlook as far as SOS is concerned. He is going to be a handful, and I’m praying that he will learn to do things on his own. Otherwise SexyPants will need to spend an excessive amount of time and resources with/on him, and I will have to figure out ways to positively deal with that. I’m not being jealous or callous by any means (not trying to be, anyway). It’s just that he is not an easy kid. He is an energy suck. And the ONLY times of stress that SP and I have ever endured were during the 6 weeks SOS had with us between his programs.
More on this soon, I’m sure.
For now, we have a house to organize and prepare. I still have most of a wedding to plan. I had planned to work with some folks here at the office regarding some planning and DIY projects, but as is almost always the case, you just can’t really rely on anyone else but yourself–especially when there are budgets involved. Right?
I’m excited about V-Day! I bought my honey a yummy fragrance that I’m hoping beyond hoping that he loves. I thought it was something that we’d smelled before while walking through Saks, but alas, I bought the wrong thing. Still, it gets many rave reviews like this one, so I’m hoping that he’ll forget what the more recent Hermes scent smelled like. 😉
We’ve also been dieting, and I want to get him a treat, but there’s not a lot to choose from from a fairly healthy point of view. I think I’ll go to the market on my way to work tomorrow to get him some flourless chewy chocolate cookies. LOVE those things, and they don’t take up too many calories.
We are going on a double date tomorrow night with SP’s best friend and his BFF’s wife. We do a lot of things with this couple and we always have a great time, so I’m excited to have a nice dinner with them. It’s funny, I know SP’s BFF really likes me a lot, but I sometimes wonder about the wife. She’s always at least OK with me if not very, very friendly, but I also think that she is highly protective of SexyPants. See, she knew (and I think was friends with) SP’s ex-wife, though she does not speak highly of the ex at all. I just think that she wants to make sure the SexyPants never, ever gets hurt again or treated poorly (like ex-wife treated him).
I get that. And I know that I have to be at least a little sensitive to that. It’s funny, I do know that she didn’t like me at all at first because I was questioning SP early on in our relationship. You know, making sure he wasn’t a playa, making sure he was truly divorced (not just separated), etc…if you don’t remember, it’s waaaay back in my diary somewhere.
Anyway, we are good now–we just alway seem to have a warming up time every time we see each other, and I find it…I don’t know, interesting, I guess.
Plus, we have a pretty big age gap. Like, 10-12 years. SexyPants likes to hang with an older crowd. I like that. But it’s also interesting that I really love his BF’s kids–they are all girls in their late-20s and early-30s, and I get along especially well with one of them. So cool.
And WOW…the workday is ending.
Anyway, V-Day tomorrow! Make it a good one!
Love,
GS
