I’ve been away from LJ since before I could post my Thankful Thursday.
So here goes Thankful Sunday:
+Appreciation
+Affection
+Love
+Jimmy
+My job
+4 day weekend
+Warmth
+Rufus and Fritz
+Classy
+My home
+My tech goodies (IPOD, Laptop)
+The steady income (my job)
+OTO
+Having enough.
+Family.
+The fact that my man is not a drama-king.
+Power
+Heat
+Blankets
+Shared body heat! (4 bodies 4 bodies!!!)
+Jimmy loves our puppies.
Okay.
Been pretty cold at my place. The power has been out since Thursday night/Friday morning. (1AM style.) Work was scarce on Friday because our generator malfunctioned at work and they had to have someone eventually come in to fix it. Secondarily, no one was at work except the police and the service support folks who deal with trees down and such.
Soooo. I hung out near the office most of the day.
I enjoyed a nice evening out with Jim because we were tired of sitting in the dark at my place. We went and saw the movie “The Fountain” (TRIPPY motherfucking movie)
And before that we ate at Subway, which was a walk and an adventure of its own.
We bought books and snuggled up to candle-light in my duplex for the night. Fell asleep with 4 bodies heating the bed and awoke to the visibility of our breath in the morning. My water heater did well and I have had warm water even this morning – and yet no power yet.
Saturday consisted of heading out to hang out with mom with Jim, we had lunch with my parents and then we headed out to Burien to celebrate my Grandpa’s 76th birthday party. FUN!!!
Pizza and cake. I’m so happy; Jimmy likes my family a lot and everyone obviously likes him. And his family likes me and I like them. It is just one of those things that is… so nice.
Kelsi called me right before I was heading out from my grandparents’ house. I decided to to go to a party that her friend Rita was throwing with Jim. Shane was there too. Goodness I love her current boyfriend, he is such a selfless sweetheart, and he is hella hot, which suits her tastes ;)
I just enjoy how nice he actually is. I could handle it if she stuck with this guy.
I hope so.
Anyways. Went to the party, drank some beer – socialized. A girl challenged me to a pushup contest and I accepted and this short-super-buff girl (who claimed she’d do 5 and collapse, and I claimed I’d do the same) beat me but the hub-ub was all about the fact that no one else at the party would go against her and my 10 pushups was more than most of them there and folks were all buzzed complimenting my pushup form and she said I was her personal hero for the night.
It was a mellow party.
All had a good time. I went home and crashed with Jimmy (he was my DD).
Today we woke up late under our piles of blankets. I added a few to my bed knowing the little warmth had seeped out of my house!
Too a shower and headed north thinking Jimmy and I would go to moshker’s housewarming party. He had invited me blahblaha.
We grabbed lunch and stuff ahead of time. The plan was to drop by the party for a couple hours and then head out to Jim’s. We had some errands to do near Tacoma area and we needed to bid Mike farewell. Tomorrow he is heading on a flight to Georgia to be with his family for the holiday.
*I heart Mikey.*
I told him his feet are way cooler than mine because they have a different color on the bottom of them. Hahaha. Oh man. Blacky. I love Blacky.
Anyways. Ate a quick lunch in Kirkland and decided to call to get directions to said housewarming party.
Sounded like a lot of drama mess that caused me to be uninvited. I don’t go where I am not wanted, and I don’t like drama so it becomes a place where I don’t want to go anymore.
Quick solution: some chick wants to play childish games involving my presence? Hahaha, oh lordy. Cry me a fucking river. Jealousy is for those who have security issues.
And to be self-righteous/self-centered enough to think I left her boyfriend over her? Not so much. It is because I found someone who appreciates me for everything that I am, and maybe even everything that I’m not. The kind of person who doesn’t fail to remind me that I am beautiful, intelligent, funny, generous, and special.
I am not saying any of my exes failed on all of these, or maybe not any of them at times.
No real beef against anyone in particular.
I just know that the moment I met Jim it became clear that his attitude involving life was uplifting. No non-sense, no game-playing. The kind of person you can be around that is more focused on the things that are right in the world, even if he has seen some stuff that has potential to change world views. “Every day that I am not getting shot at is a good day.”
Well. Let me tell you something about that. He doesn’t think he is that positive. But for a man that walks around smiling most of the time with laughter filling the air where ever he goes, and a shining presence in his eyes… I’ll tell you that this kind of guy makes my soul feel full. And no matter where the relationship goes, I am glad I have had the chance to be around him.
So, after the conclusion that the house-warming party was not so welcoming, we chose to go on to the next plan on our list: holiday errands on the Tacoma-side. Drove to Tacoma and went to the EW_Mall. (ew people people people).
Looked for a gift for Ernest, and I ended up going to World Market to get special “Beers of The World” for my brother.
I picked up some yummy wine for myself, as well. We headed out to GameStop to do some business there that Jim needed to do and I went to Starbucks. I was tired from driving and a weird nights’ sleep last night.
I will not miss the frigid air in my bedroom tonight. The Tacoma apartment got its power back late last night. The dogs enjoyed the heated apartment immediately!
Hung out with the pseudo roommates and then drove Mikey to work.
Came back and relaxed on my computer all evening and ate dinner, and am now having some wine with the sweetie.
I am not annoyed at the ex and yet I am not not annoyed either.
If seeing exes means drama then hogwash on drama. I like drama about as much as I like dogshit smeared on my face.
Thank goodness for laughter with the sweetie, shopping, wine, the pseudo roomies…
Power, heat!
WAAHooo for power and heat!
