Hi y’all! I need to get some of this down so that I can look back and remember the joy and the passion that I’m feeling lately. Why is it that when things are so busy and awesome and a little crazy that I never get to write here anymore?
Guess what? I signed up for NOJOHOMOFO again. That means I’m going to attempt to write an entry a day. Can I do it? Eh, who the hell knows. But I do know one thing: I’d like to try again. I’m not gong to beat myself up if I don’t write every day, but at least it will be a more than I have been updating lately anyway. SexyPants and I have been talking about things that we did last year, and I can’t remember some things so I come here to see…and I hadn’t updated very often. I love to come back and see progress. Well, I can’t very well do that if I don’t write it down!
Seriously, it’s time to get my act together. I have been living between two homes for quite a while now, and it is driving me crazy. See, I’ve been mostly staying at SexyPant’s place and using my downtown place as more or less a storage/dumping spot. It is a shambles. I’m horrified because it’s an EXPENSIVE shambles to keep up with. I have let my lease lapse and now it’s kind of like I’m month to month and my rent is insane as it is.
Monday night, I went to my downtown place because the seasons are finally changing and I didn’t have enough warm clothes at SP’s place. It was kind of a mess, my mailbox was overflowing, and my freezer was a snowy, icy tundra. UGH! Drama!
I need a plan. I’m formulating one. Stay tuned.
So, SexyPants is traveling yet again. Guess I didn’t tell you that we had a conversation immediately after I wrote my last entry. He is SO good at making adjustments, and I’m getting better at easing up (mainly on myself–I stress and worry to myself and try not to “bother” SP with my issues, yet he invariably gets them out of me in a constructive way).
Anyway, we’ve been in touch via several methods and I love it. We text occasionally (not a lot at all), we email funny things when they hit us, and we call and face time when we can. It’s not excessive, it feels just right. I adore him for making this slight change and for assuring me. He’s such an awesome boyfriend.
Last night, I went to a block party at SP’s place. He invited me to attend to represent “us”, and I was happy to go. It was fun to meet a lot of the neighbors as neither one of us has met many peeps from his new-ish hood. Couple of really fun guys, some single girls and then mostly older couples. It’s a bit of a quirky place as it’s not really a “neighborhood” as much as it is a condo community. I guess most people are really kind of using these places as something of a transition in thier lives–new empty nesters, recently divorced, singles, etc. Just adding a little to the social circle. Plus, it’s so nice to get to know the nabes.
SexyPants gets back on Friday night. We get to spend yet another fantastic weekend together and then he leaves again. The company that he is consulting will be moving to [our city] soon, and then he will travel less. I can’t wait.
Took a trip with him last weekend that was such a blast. Went to a football game with some of my old college buddies (girlfriends–what a hoot!) and also took an amazing motorcycle ride in the mountains.
The Ride: OMG… what a wonderful time!! SP rented a Harley and we drove and drove this windy, twisty road and heated up and cooled down in the mountains. I loved it!! I can’t even explain how much fun I had. Even when my ass started hurting at around hour 4 or 5…
SexyPants and I are also on a diet together. I’ve never been on a diet with someone else before, but let me tell you that it is really a lot of teamwork on our part, and I like doing that too. Anyway, after our ride, we had been saving our calories so that we could have an AMAZING catfish dinner (we both love catfish!). We are so dorky with this diet becuase we’re using fatsecret.com and we’re “buddies” so we can log in and track our calories and check out each others progress. I’ve NEVER told, well, really anyone how much I weigh and now it’s allllll out there! I love not keeping secrets from my honey. But I also still love having this place to let my feelings out. I’m just…happy lately.
OK, so The Game. Big college rivalry (my team vs. SP’s team) = joking and a little bit of ribbing and tons of fun! Met up with two girlfriends (old roommates) from college and we all sat together in the stadium and went out barhopping after the game. Cannot believe how OLD I felt trying to go to all the ol’ college hangouts. SP and I tried to rally pretty hard, but we ended up taking a taxi back to our hotel at around 12:30a. Meanwhile, College Roomies stayed out until 3AM and one of them actually ended up taking a tumble and breaking her ankle!! That proves that they had a great time, eh?
It was such a fantastic weekend. I can’t stop smiling thinking about how great it was.
And as always, back to work.
Work is full of stress and drama, as usual. I don’t feel like writing about it now. There’s a kinda new cast of characters that I can’t wait to tell you about, but it’s time to get a move-on, and I have ants in my pants.
Love yous.
