angelakYesterday was cool. Slept in late. Relaxed and messed around on my computer for a while. Got up, showered, and took Travis out for lunch. He left… and then I read for a few hours.
Jim arrived and we headed out to my parents’ new place to meet my sister and go pick up my brother. We went to our favorite little Casino “Angel of the Winds,” Casino. We got cheap food and visited and I gambled with $5 and left with $7.47.
Jim was impressed at the .99 strawberry shortcakes. And my huge-nor-mous chicken fried steak and eggs. He had a turkey sandwich. It was fun – he got to meet my sister, and spend a little bit of time with my brother. He likes my family so yeay on that.
And my family likes him too. So this is going quite well indeed!
We had a blast. Afterwards we dropped James off.
It was amazing that Melissa let him out of the house alone. My sister and I were shocked. It was the first time we had spent time with our brother in months without Melissa there. I was relieved.
I had wanted to show off my really awesome new boyfriend to him for a while – but as life had it, even without a boyfriend to show off I couldn’t seem to get him away from Melissa or get to see him at all more than 5 minutes in passing.
So this was really refreshing.
I missed him and so did Jill. And Jeff (Jill’s S-O) was sad he didn’t get to hang out with James solo.
After dropping James off we stayed at my mom’s and visited with Jill for a while until I noticed Jimmy was falling asleep. He had, after all – gotten up early to go to drill.
I drove home. He slept the whole way as my car surged through the rainy early morning. It was 3AM.
We got home and somehow in our moments of contentment and sleepiness, we had some awesome love-making. And then exhaustion hit and so did a decent sleep.
The morning consisted of more pleasantries. Yeay mornings that start off right. With really good snuggles. And. Stuff.
And then showering and then a really fun breakfast/brunch outing. 12th Ave. Café is great. We had 3 cheese Omletes. He had ham and I had sausage. THEY were good. We continued to talk about everything and nothing. What a great way to spend the weekend. He had to go to class.
I thought Ray was going to be here tonight – it turns out he will, although he is just getting into town tonight from Iraq for a few days leave. Well, I had suggested I stop by Jim’s tonight to get a chance to catch Ray-Ray. I am just relaxing and listening to the wondrous sound of the rain.
November and the dark nights and the constant flow of rain the past days. Wow, how wonderful. I cannot help but enjoy the downpours. How gorgeous could it be???
*happy sigh*
The man will be home soon and I am here.
Classy pierced through the dark, slick roads – and I am safe here for the night until morning. When I start my 3 day work week. Which will be FABULOUS. I’m stoaked. For now I think I will read some more and enjoy the weather.
I think some of the simplest things make me happy.
My swimsuit came in the mail and it fits! Yeay.
It is a bit modest, but then – I hate swimsuits anyway and it’s a workout swimsuit. So, I don’t really care. It is not thread-barren and faded. YEAY! I like it a great deal and the price was right. Now I know for next time I want Speedo’s “Classic Modern,” cut, which is the middle of the 2 styles. This one is just “Classic,” which is the most modest cut. Still, it’s great.
I have even MORE motivation to keep swimming up.
Kelsi suggested me bringing my fellas (Rufus and Fritz) to visit Ava as she is pup-sitting for her sister and bro-in law.
I am having a beer-date with herne51 quite possibly tomorrow – so I may swim on lunch most of the week to get my workout in. After all. Tuesday is probably beer night, Wednesday is the day I’d spend with Kelsi in the evening, and Thursday is PPC. Friday, it seems – I will most likely be seeing Mel at some point.
Soooo, this being said. Well, it looks like I will make it my high priority to swim on lunch perhaps Tuesday-Wednesday-and-Thursday if I can. If I make as many plans to swim (maybe even Friday – seeing as I have all of Friday off.) then if I do not swim one or two days, it isn’t that bad. I try and get in as many as I can.
So, this weeks goal is T-W-Th.
I do what I can. I am less self conscious now that my swimsuit isn’t ugly. And my co-workers that I support saw me last week on lunch. I try my best. To go un-noticed. But it’s inevitable – I’m the IT girl that everyone knows.
I cannot go anywhere in Issaquah unnoticed.
Off to go enjoy my book. If Ray-Ray doesn’t show up, I think Jimmy and I will watch some Gilmore Girls.
Yeay. Regardless.
And an early morning start tomorrow. I better get up right before 5 to get to work with as little traffic as possible.
