Hi Everyone! I hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas! I hope 2008 will be your best year yet!
I had a really nice Christmas. My aunt, the professor and I had Christmas at my house. We all cooked and dined as it rained outside here. It was a cold rain...so my lit fire place was wonderful!
My parents ended up with a stomach virus and did not come here. It was the first Christmas I have spent without my parents. It was a sad in that aspect, especially with the year that my parents (mom's cancer) have struggled through.
The professor and I exchanged gifts. He can be very thoughtful! He found me a New Orleans newspaper printed SAINT book with all of the success last year after the hurricane and the trials and tribulations that faced the city. He also got me some Fleur De Lis bookends,a Fleur DE lis gold book mark, a DVD series Kings of Queens, and 3 carat peridot ring. He took me into every jewelry store in the mall and many magazines/flyers. He found the earrings to match in another store. He really does have a sweet tender heart. We had a nice romantic Christmas at my house.
I made in ***A*** in my graduate class this semester. Yeah!!!
I'm home from work today. I just can't handle feeling this crappy and screaming at kids to hush.
I absolutely did the right thing. Ughhhh
I am feeling a bit of 'undeclared confusion" at the moment. Last night he called and had a few things to tell me. One was that he wants me to go to a party for one of his faculty members Sat night at a blues martini bar.
Second, he says I did tell you my Ex is coming in for a night to see the girls when they are here a day or two after Christmas. I told her she could stay here. I was totally silent. I trust him...but I guess I wanted sometype of input asked of me, rather than him saying this is whats happening. Are ya with me?
He did tell me over a week ago he doesn't want to see anyone else and wants us in a committed relationship.
I need to go back to bed and then wrap some gifts.
Hope you feel better today than I do.
Meow Meow Meow
LAST WILL
It's a stange day for me. I wish I was at home. Just didn't wanna move from my bed this morning!
Yesterday, I took R 3 balloons, some flowers and chocolate fudge brownies. (He LOVES chocolate) Well, he told me to call after my work meetings. I did he answered his work phone, "R's house of flowers". I thought it was cute. I had a choral concert last night and invited him to go with me. We met for dinner and he said he was going home from there. He says "The flowers and stuff was a bold move for you". I wasn't quite sure how to take that ~~~ I wanted a THANK YOU !
He asked me to come over after the concert, but I went home instead. He just emailed and said he stayed home from work today that he wasn't feeling well. I told him i'd pick up anything he needed after work...if he didn't need anything then I was going home. I have so much stuff to do at home --I have been neglecting!!!!
Has everyone but me finished their Christmas shopping????
I wanted to pass out my N.O. goodies, spices and mixes to my teacher friends by the end of this week...otherwise we get stuff from kids later in the week and wanted to be seperated from the other stuff. I am cranky today can you tell???????
I'm not feeling quite that bad...actually I woke up with a smile on my face and my guy next to me. I was so comfy that I did not want to get out of bed at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I made it here barely. I am in a rather good mood. I played Jeopardy with my Language Arts classes today. We covered vocabulary, spelling, parts of speech and a novel we just finished.
I took the liberty to go pick up a Santa balloon,one red and green balloon, 2 brownies and put together a few flowers and drove them over to R's work which is the college. I knew he wasn't there (he was in Atlanta for a conference this morning). So I'll wait til I hear from him. Only one person saw me deliver them to his office.... so I doubt I'll totally freak him out.
Last night he decorated more in my front yard and brought over a wreath for my front door. He really is a home maker....I DIG IT.
How do my blog readers feel...what are your personal thoughts on Eloping????
I'll dedicate this to my dad. As it is his birthday today...however he is on Portsmouth England for business. He is testing some Hovercrafts and their mechanical functions. He designs them and handles Propulsion...I am proud of him....
I did have a really busy weekend. I was sick Thursday night. A god awful tummy virus. I called into work sick Friday. I was up practically all night Thursday running to the bathroom. Can I say YUK!!!!
I had a great day yesterday. I got to wake up to R. We ran a few errands and he grilled shrimp, salmon (in a honey sauce), smoked sausage stuffed with artichoke and cheese. HE also sauteed tomato, squash and zucchini...It was yummy and I have left overs for the whole week!
We just had a really good weekend...lots of positive talking and sweet sentiments. He hung up some more Christmas lights in my front yard. We watched some football. Ya'll It's getting all kinds weird.......I am feeling all warm and fuzzy!!!!
Well, it's finally Thursday. I am feeling a bit odd. (Sorry that is normal for me).
Last night R surprised me with two bouquets of burgundy and white chrysanthemums. I was in a moo moo doing dishes out of the shower and with my hair on top of my head . I looked like a ton of bricks hit me. Can I say scary?
He came in and grabbed some of the Christmas lights I bought and set them out in my yard. He did a pretty good job. We watched a little tv and talked. He apologized for being a butt head Monday night. He was just really cranky.
Tomorrow is Friday. Can I say AMEN?
How pushy am I to have sent him and email that reads: "OK. You said once or twice that you didn't know what to shop for when it came to me.
I am going to go out on a limb and act completely presumptious...geeze do I hope I am not making a mistake on this one. I was in Sam's last week and saw a couple of things that I liked. So I am going to include a link......please don't misconstrue this as pressure. Think of it as getting to know my taste.....
Sam's Club - Search Results "
OK. I am the star of the show. This last week has been really tough on me. I am close to 2 family members....both of them are ON me about losing weight. One is just not tactful. The other one tries to guilt me into it. She says if you won't do it for me....then do it for your new man. Well, what about losing for the health problems...the high blood pressure and the type 2 diabetes.
I told you he hurt my feelings over the weekend right? Well, we were driving down the road and talking about his ex- whom I liked. He made some comment that she was chunky now...I said "You think she's chunky now?' He says "well yes, she lost alot of weight a couple of years ago I mean she used to be as big as you are" .
Ok my heart sank. I mean really sank. He likes BBW women....and I knew that going into to this...but the comparison he made really distraught me. It ruined my entire day. We ended up talking on my couch that night...he went home and made me brownies of all things. I just started crying. I mean I felt like if anyone was on my side he was. I am not even PMSing. I just lost it. He apologized and said he liked me just the way I was, but if it bothered me why not do something about it.
Last night one of my relatives just laid into me...I finally said "If you and she don't shut up about my weight, I will just quit talking to you". and I hung up the phone.
This is one of the ceiling Murial's in the wedding church of my dreams. I want everyone to know how spectacular this church is!
Below is the out side of the church in the middle of Jackson square. I can dream.
My weekend was alright.... Yesterday was pretty good. I slept in....I was lazy until after noon. I did get alot accomplished though. I managed to cook a couple of dishes. I made a shrimp fettuccine pasta with cheddar cheese and bacon. I also made jambalaya. R came over and blew off my drive way, rearranged my shelving in my garage and changed some outside light bulbs for me. He was feeling like playing house apparently!
We watched the Saints get beat. It was sad. I was upset they lost in the last 20 seconds of the game. PATHETIC.
We rearranged my furniture and put up my Christmas tree. He appreciates balance. I enjoyed the "playing house" aspect. I did dishes, vacuumed, and laundry.
I am being realistic though...I have seen the multi faceted aspect of his personality. He's pretty vocal on some things.
I still need to find something personal to give him. Mustangs are the only connection I have to go on, well o.k. I can gear it towards photography. He has books, I thought about finding a mustang toy of some type.
Well the hair I am pleased with...The colors are not as drastic as I had hoped...but he always does a great job styling me...I wanna have him here at the house for daily attention.
R hurt my feelings...I just clamed up. I called a friend and she ranted and raved that I not let it ruin my day. I am going to try. He did this before the salon this morning. I went there stayed 3 hours...and then took myself for a manicure. I feel a bit more relaxed.
We met on Halloween---so technically today is a month we have been seeing each other.We have moved so quickly it feels like we have been seeing each other six months. I had an after noon of football planned and my favorite dining establishment booked with reservations for 8. I need to perk up.
I do have a paper to wrap up for my class. I need to email it in the next hour. I better get busy.
Men suck. Sorry. He just hit a nerve.
