Gossip

Do you all like to gossip?

Just wondering.

Sleep Dialing

I think I have mentioned how B tells me I talk in my sleep.

I don't remember if I wrote about waking up in the middle of the night and seeing B with a pillow over his head. Apparently I also snore.

Last night I made phone calls...while I slept. Where you one of the lucky ones? B woke up this morning and asked

B: Where you making calls in the middle of the night or was I dreaming.
Me: You were dreaming. Who would I be calling?
B: I don't know, I thought I woke up and heard you whispering on the phone.
Me: No, you were dreaming.
Silence - - checking phone records
B: You didn't!? Who did you call?

Apparently I was feeling a little chatty last night and made a couple of random calls. I am trying to find out what I said. Hopefully it was completely unintelligible and i didn't say anything I wasn't suppose to.

We use my phone as our alarm in the morning. B is going to be in charge of the alarm now, but now we run the risk of not waking up until the middle of the day. He has a tendency of turning off the alarm and going back to sleep. Especially when we are suppose to be jogging.

Update

I have been busy.

I hurt my sholder so I haven't worked out in two weeks. I went back to the gym on Friday and I have been working out every day since then. I feel a lot better now...not as flabby.

Tuesday - Went out drinking with a friend from NY and some local people.
Wednesday - Went out drinking with a friend from NY and some local people.
Thursday - Went out drinking - was almost drunk.
Friday - Went out drinking -
Saturday - Went out drinking
Sunday - Went out drinking
Monday - Had 1 drink
Tuesday - Had 2 drinks
Today - NOT Drinking.

As you can see, I have been drinking a lot and I am going to stop.

B and I are still together. He is great and makes me laugh uncontrollably. He is very nice and down to earth. Some of his friends on the other hand are not...he has commented on how my friends are all nice and down to earth and his are not. There are two in particular, his best friends, that I don't really care for. They are pretentious, drunk bitches! But I can fake it...

I turned in my final project for graduation on Sunday. I am officially DONE! I graduate on April 20th. :)

I am alive

I have been neglecting my blog. It has been completely unintentional but it happened.

Here are the updates:

School
I have been busy with school. I am working on a five year strategic plan for a local pet company. Two weeks ago I thought I lost all the work I had done in the past two months, luckily my flash drive was found. Graduation is still set for April 20th. I don't know what I want to do to celebrate? Any ideas? Maybe rent a party bus with 16 of my friends and hit all of the local bars?

Work
Work is work, going well. No new developments.

Boyfriend
He is still as amazing as the first day we started dating. He knows how stress I have been with school and last week or the week before he shows up at my door with a basket full of goodies. He does sweet things like that...and I like him A LOT!

We are still spending a lot of time together but now we are incorporating the world around us. Soon we will be getting back in touch with the world.

Valentines: Was great. We went to dinner and then to a movie.

In other news:
I have been keeping up with everyones blogs. I don't always comment but I do read.

Weekend and Chris Evans

I don't have anything exciting to report about the weekend. I was suppose to spend at least 6 hours doing homework but instead I spent all weekend with my boyfriend. Did I mention that I graduate in April? I am so forgetful sometimes and to lazy to look at old post.

Friday we decided to stay in and just watch movies. We ordered food and fell asleep on the couch. We were tired.

Saturday I was woken up with an emergency phone call so I had to jump out of bed and go meet one of my friends. Things turned out okay. I didn't do much the rest of the day. Saturday we did this thing that was way to much work...and we meet up with one of his friends that was in from out of town. We went out to the bars and had a good time.

Sunday we spent all day in bed. We got up to go meet his friend for lunch, he went home for about 2 hours, came back took a nap, went to a meeting, came back and slept until around 9 p.m. He didn't sleep over last night because he was off today and wanted to sleep in. I had to be at work at 6:30 so he would have woken up at that time.

Exciting news: I get to meet Chris Evans on Thursday. I will try to take a picture with him and upload it here next week. Who is jealous?

Valentines Update

Valentines Day was even more amazing than I thought it would be.

I decided to get him the ipod and load it with music we both like but then I decided to hold off on opening it just in case he didn't like it. He loved it of course.

Dinner was great, I am still full this morning.

He is such an amazing guy, we could have gone to McDonald's and I would have been happy just because I was with him. I know it sound cheesy but it is so true.

Valentines, Auction and other Happenings

I still don’t know what to get B for Valentines. I thought about getting him an ipod and loading it songs. We may not be great singers but in the comfort of our homes and our cars we sing at the top of our lungs. We are both horrible singers.

I also thought about getting season tickets to the theater; or
Cuff links; or
Booking a hotel for a weekend get away.

Still not sure what I will end up doing.

B was being auctioned off in a Bachelor Auction last night. He agreed to do this last year when he was still single so I was okay with him doing it. He asked me to go along and I went for a couple of drinks but I left before the bidding began. A few of my friends were out there and one of them called me

Friend: Uhhh, one of them just went for $600 and he had to strip down to his underwear. Are you sure you want your man out here in his skivvies?
Me: He doesn’t wear underwear; he won’t remove more than his shirt. I am okay with that.
Friend: These men are wild; you better come back up here. Click.

20 minutes later.

Friend: B is on. Do you want to listen?
Me: (uninterested) sure.
Friend: He just took off his shirt. Now they are asking him to take off his pants. Uhhh, he just undid his belt.
Me: What? He is not wearing underwear. He better not take those off!
Friend: He just undid his button.
Me: He ain’t coming home tonight.

He didn’t take off the pants because he wasn’t wearing underwear. The money was for a good cause so I was totally okay with it. After the auctioned one of B’s good friends and our neighbor stopped by my place to tell me he had “won him” and that he was bidding on B because he didn’t want anyone else besides me going to dinner with B. Isn’t that nice?

Valentines & Flowers

I got home yesterday after work and I had flowers sitting by my front door. They were in a beautiful vase and the card read “Thank you for being a wonderful person. xoxoxo”

Isn’t he sweet? He has been sick with the flu and I have been taking care of him, bringing him soup, getting him medicine, etc. Have I mentioned I like him a lot? And yes, we are officially boyfriends.

I have a dilemma. Valentines is coming up and I don’t know what to get him. He paid for the restaurant we are having dinner and it was a bit pricy. I have offered to pay but he won’t take my money.

The dilemma is that I don’t know what to get him for Valentines. I was thinking of getting him cuff links but that isn’t enough. Do you have any ideas?

Valentines

When I opened the door he handed me this chocolate heart. It's a Save the Date to remind me of our date on Valentines Day. Isn't that the sweetest thing ever?

I like him a lot. He makes me smile and he makes me blush. My run from commitment issues seem to be gone with him especially when I look into his eyes or when I kiss those beautiful lips or when I see that "I Like You" smile he gives me after we kissed.

I haven't had a date on Valentines day in a very long time, I am very glad my date will be with him.

What are your Valentines plans?

Weekend Review

It was a cold, wet weekend.

On Friday I had the opportunity to meet up with Will from DC who was in town for work. We went to a restaurant he found close to his hotel and I had heard about a long time ago but never been to.

We chatted about our lives and got to know each other better. Will is a great guy and has a lot going for him so it was great to meet up with him and finally put a face to the blog.

After meeting up with Will I headed over to my brothers house for his birthday party. I wasn't there very long because I had a hot man waiting for me back at home. The plan was for me to meet up with my Jogging Buddy at a bar he was going to be at with his friends but on my way back we decided he would leave the bar and meet back up with me at my place and watch a movie.

We didn't get to bed until 5:30 so we slept in until he had to get up and go to a meeting. We meet back up a few hours later and joined two of my friends for lunch. None of our friends know we are dating so it's weird being around people and not be able to openly flirt with each other. Although more people are starting to notice we are spending a lot of time together. My friend called me later on that day and asked what was going on between us.

Later I went with him to a party. I got to meet his best friends which seem a little crazy but fun. After we went to a magazine VIP party where I got to meet more of his friends. By this time we had been caught holding hands, kissing, and making eyes at each other so everyone knew we were "getting to know each other".

We went home somewhat early but didn't get to bed late that night. There was some drama with his roommates and people loosing dogs, people falling over drunk, and driving down the wrong side of the road. He has interesting friends.

Sunday we did it all over again. Slept in until we had to get up for me to go to class then met back up in the afternoon.

We spend a lot of time together. I knew he was cute and nice the first time I saw him but I didn't know what a sweat caring person he is.

He was telling me last night he was flirting with me the first time he met me back in August and that he has had a crush on me ever since. When he started dating someone he would avoid being around me because he didn't want to make it look obvious that he liked me. I use to do the same thing.

Long post, I know. Sorry. I hope your weekend was as great as mine.

The Nearness of You

I met someone and we have been faux dating since January 1st of this year. We get together go to dinner, ice cream, movies, jogging, etc.

People are starting to talk.

While we were out in a hip-and-trendy ice cream shop we ran into two people we know who then invited us to go have dinner to celebrate one of their birthday's. We turned them down because we already had other plans. Out of this little encounter, rumors started flying, "Are they?", "Are they not". And we both started getting emails and calls from people we haven't heard from in months fishing for information. The official response is "We are just friends."

We have our first real date on Saturday. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I have had a crush on him for such a long time and from what I learned last night he has had a crush on me for a while too.

I cooked dinner for him last night. I screwed it up but I called an ex and he helped me recover my food disaster and it turned out to be a great dinner. After dinner we just sat on the couch and talked for hours. I love the newness of a relationship. When you are still getting to know the person and everything they say is interesting and everything they say is worth holding on to.

What's your Seduction Style?

I took this from ça va pas la tête over at Me Talk Pretty Everyday

Blogs

I read to many blogs....and you guys write way to much. But I enjoy all of your stories so keep writting.

Did I mention I can't read blogs at work anymore because of where I sit? So now I have to catch up with peoples lives on the weekends.

Complicated Affection

This is a long post. Don't read it. :)

I don't normally get to personal on my blog. I tend to keep my feelings to myself and most people I know are use to that (one of the promises with myself was to be more open with my feelings this year).

I have mentioned the writter I was dating. He is a great guy but unfortunately things didn't work out between us. We gave it a good try...and even broke up 3 to 5 times in a short two month period.

Although it has been over for about a month we had to have another break up conversation at the begining of the week wich was very hard for both of us. I am not really sure why I am writting about this...maybe just to have a record to look back on later...maybe it's just to help me feel better about the whole thing...not sure.

I received an email from him today with a wonderful story about his life. He is a great writter and I know he will one day write a book that will be on Oprah's Reading Club and in all the top selling list. He is a great writter and I am privy to the story ideas he has in his head. We use to lay in bed or sit around and he would tell me about the books he was working on and the characters he had planned out.

When I first met him he had stopped writting because of life and the problems that comes with it. I tend to push people a little harder than they push themselves...sometimes it's a blessing and sometimes its a curse. I also tend to date guys who have great potential but haven't realized it themselves and I usually push them...not in a nagging way but I plant ideas in their heads that makes them want to push themselves harder. I kind of did that with the writter.

I am not in any way trying to take credit for all of the work on his novels. I guess what I am tring to say is that this year I will work on myself and let the guys I date be who they want to be. I will also only be dating one guy at a time.

New Habits

It's early in the morning and I just got back from a jog. One of my neighbors and I decided to start jogging today, not because we want to be healthy or because it's the new year but as a way of spending time together with the added bonus of being healthy.

My neighbor (and I say neighbor he actually just lives in my neighborhood about a block away) and I went out on our first date on the 1st of January and we have a second date tonight. He seems like a really nice guy and he keeps me laughing for hours so we will see if it works out. If nothing, I am sure we will be good friends.

Off to a Good Start

The year is off to a good start so far. On my way home from the New Years Party my "Check Engine" light came on. I took it to get serviced today and it cost me a little over $1,000 to get fixed. Yeap, that's a lot of money.

New Year New Me

New Years
I rang in the New Years at a friends house party. It was a lot of fun and I was surrounded by people I care about.

Today I slept most of the day. I did have a date tonight with a guy I have known for about 4 or 5 months. Nice guy, lives down the street from me and he is really cute. We have another date on Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed, I am ready to fall in love and live happily ever after.

Resolutions
I did say i didn't make New Years resolutions but today I decided I was going to promise myself that I was going to allow others to "love" me and get close to me. So the next relationships I get into I will be more open.

I will also write more often on my blog. I promise.

Songs of 2006
The radio station in my city said the top song of 2006 was a song by Panic! At the Disco, I write Sins not Tragedies. Although I like this song I would like to make the following suggestions for the top songs of 2006 (in no particular order):

Paulina Rubio: Ananda (This is actually my favorite song of 2006)
Amerie: Take Control & Why don't we fall in love
Justin Timberlake : My love and What Goes around
India Arie: There's Hope
Nelly Furtado: The whole CD is awesome but I LOVE the song Say it Right
Ricky Martin: Tu Recuerdo ft LaMari (The song that plays when you go to his web page
Shakira: La Tortura and Hips Don't Lie
Brandy: Afrodisiac

So those are my selections. What were your favorite songs from 2006?

New Years!

I hope everyone has/had a safe and fun New Years!

I am still not sure about my plans for tonight. I may go to a house party, my families, or to a bar. It's still in the air.

And as far as resolutions go...I didn't make any. You?

Blogaversary

I had my blogaversary yesterday the 22nd of December. I started blogging in December of 2004 and I have been blogging on and off ever since.

Here is the post that started it all.

Happy Blogaversary to me!

New Digs

So we finally moved to our new building, which was my old building. We are in a very confined space. It kind of looks like a long hallway with offices on the right and cubicles on the left. The great thing about being here is that all of my department is finally together and we are in the building where most of our clients are at.

The bad thing is that I can hear what someone is saying 50 feet away from me. Seriously.

When I get a personal phone call I always walk outside of the room and go to the actual hallway to talk.

Yesterday I had my radio very quietly and someone from 5 cubes down came over and asked if I could lower it. So now I am listening to my ipod.

Another bad thing. We are in front of the cafeteria and I can smell bacon cooking all morning and hamburgers all afternoon. I literally want to throw up after I leave work.

Another good things is that we get free soft drinks, water, and I am less than 5 minutes from my house.
