how happy am i that i am now in a place financially where I can treat her again. where i can make a double payment on my debt consolidation loan.

not really sure if she knows how much better about myself this feels.

forrest is a sleepy dog today. curled up on the couch with me and watched a movie. now he's watching Close Encounters while i clean. Amy's at a scrapping class.

gotta put the hard top on the Jeep as the apartment complex says I can't store it on the balcony. damn, really wanted to go topless to Key Largo on Monday with Amy. thinking of just paying the $75 fine to keep it there a week or so longer so that I can still do it.

gotta go. need to get some more cleaning done before she comes home and i have to get ready for work.

Dec. 29th, 2005 @ 08:22 am and wuv, tru wuv...
amy got me an iPod nano for xmas. and i am so in love with my xmas present from her. and i got her a sweater and socks. greanted it's a super soft cashmere cardigan, but it's still a sweater. it's taking all my willpower to *not* grab my presents to her and return them and come home with a new iPod for her.

every time i look at my present i feel guilty. i got her a sweater.

my iPod had the enscription: "and wuv, tru wuv, will fowow you foweva" she wasn't sure if i knew where the quote came from. i'm a movie geek and the Princess Bride is an all-time favorite. "do you know what it's from?" gah!

and i got her a sweater. maybe i can steal it friday night between work and the dinner and a movie and swap it on her for an iPod. she says she loves it, but i'm afraid that she's just being nice. maybe i'm just insecure.

+in other news, my weekend back home was great. busy, but great. saw lot of people i haven't seen in 6 months.
~upset that our new roomate is leaving. i know she's making a terrible mistake. she's was in tears telling us she's going back to her husband. more headaches interviewing people. (more her than me)
+super busy @ job 1 working w/the consultants on getting a new computer system up and running
+getting more hours @ job 2, people there are cool, i am still working on my spanish to be able to communicate with customers
+worried about Amy's back
+even more worried about her not feeling well yesterday, i'm actually praying that she does not come down with pneumonia. not to any one entity in particular, just in my head, thinking, "please don't turn into pneumonia, i will do anything to avoid that"

I just popped my cherry.

i am baking my first pie.

and it was easy as cake, er pie.

Key Lime Pie taken from The Food Network's website.

i hated pie until a month or so ago, can you believe it? Amy and I went out to dinner at Bahama Breeze and she ordered some Key Lime pie for dessert and insisted that I try it. i fell in love. i've been trying it EVERYWHERE we eat. We went out to dinner with her grendmother tonight to a kind of fancy italian joint and I'll be damned if they don't have Key Lime Pie on the menu!

anyhoo, the reason I'm baking is my office is having a Thanksgiving pot-luck luncheon tomorrow and everyone has to bring something. i thought, what can be more Thanksgiving-y than Key Lime Pie?

Wish me luck in not giving anyone salmonella from undercooked eggs

When Pirates Attack!

i find this funny yet scary at the same time. i want to know if they were flying the Jolly Roger on their ship? Did they have a Letter of Marque? I did a quick search and there's still pirates in the 21st century. it seems that Somalia has some of the worst areas for it.

Think the pirates had a dude with a peg-leg or hook leading them?

Oct. 26th, 2005 @ 02:28 pm gas.
Current Mood: worriedworried
i think the biggest headache right now is the gas situation.

all the stations have gas (for the most part). but very very few have power to actually pump it.

what really sucks is that the Jeep is a 6 cylinder 4.0, and not overly aerodynamic (moves like a brick). which means she guzzles fuel. also take into the aerodynamic situation that I have a GAPING hole in my rear driver's side window (storm damage, grrrr). and i'm on a little better than a 1/4 tank. that'll get me ~70miles. fuel lines are atrocious, 4-6 hours for $20 worth of gas (they cap it at that). and now i have to work the rest of the week, less time to go fill my tank. i think the smartest idea is to save what's in the Jeep until Saturday when I go see the insurance, then sit in line for gas after that. if before then i can get a gas can filled and into it i will be doing better.

now they're offering carpools for work, but i can't get people into my car with the broken glass on the seat and i wouldn't be able to pull my own weight in the carpool. not gonna carpool with Amy's car, not fair to her. i felt super vigilant when driving to work this AM. i am so scared of hurting her car. but in the words of Rainman, "of course, I'm an excellent driver".

i'm a pretty optimistic person, but i'm worried that the power isn't going to be on in the pumps before we run out of gas.

Seeeerike one!

you fucked up. lots. ice cream on the floor, couch, walls, counter. lube (aka "duck sauce") on the counter that I prepare meals on. smelly bedroom, double-check. driving Amy nuts, then in turn driving me bonkers. ooh, my friend, you have qualified for a strike.


Seeeeriiiike two!

i asked you, "do you have any plans Monday night?" "no." "we'd like to have a meeting, the three of us, and discuss some issues we're having." "are you kicking me out?" "no. not yet. we have some problems with what's going on and need to discuss it before it escalates to kicking you out. i promise you'll have plenty of notice beofre we kick you out." "so you're not kicking me out?" "no, but you'll be here tomorrow about 6:30, right? should only take 15, 20, 30 minutes tops." "okay."

then you played us like Mom and Dad. "Dad, can I have ice cream?" "no." "Mom, can I have ice cream?" "what did your father say?" "so i can? great! thanks mom"

this is a huge sign of disrespect. fucker.


strike three. you haven't seen this pitch coming yet, but i put the ad back up on Craigslist. you will have a replacement before we kick your ass out when you fuck up again.
