Tuesday afternoon I dropped my new best friend at the airport. She's moving back East. This morning I dropped Him off as he and 39 other guys will be bicycling from SF to Redondo over the next 5 days. I'm so proud of Him, but I really miss Him.
In His absence I am determined to do the following - work out, clean my apartment, clean His apartment (boys are dirty), do laundry. I have plans mostly all day Saturday. I'd really like to rest since I've been out doing "farewell new best friend" activities for the past 2 weeks. I'm pooped!
Today I just wanted to stay home and sleep. But I came into work, I'm getting stuff done and I'm eating pizza (a counter measure for my big workout at home tonight).
I hope everyone's doing well. Sorry my dating updates are boring.
MEN-SI-VER-SA-RY (m n se-v r se-r ) noun
1. The monthly recurring date of a past event, especially one of
historical, national, or personal importance: a first date
mensiversary; the mensiversary of the founding of Nerstone Pictures.
2. A celebration commemorating such a date.
from Latin: mensis, month + versus, past participle of vertere, to turn.
Well, it's been one month official. I wouldn't normally celebrate something so soon. Talk to me on month 4 and I'll let you know if we're getting somewhere. It seems important to Him though and we're going out for a secret dinner tonight.
He's also making me fat, we're going out to eat so much.
He's still crazy about me and I adore being with Him as much as I can. Who knew this could be possible?
Last night had a fancy dinner with Him since it's dineLA week. I treated Him which shows that He doesn't need to be the one to "take care" of me all the time. I can finally say, "We're even."
During dinner He asked me to save the date of the 26th open. Sure, but what is that da...ooh.
Our one-month of being...official.
The BFF and his BF were here over the weekend to see the fabulous Kylie Minogue in concert at the Hollywood Bowl. It's her first time touring the States. She was spectacular. On par with Madonna. I'd love to see her in a larger venue next time.
The entire weekend I was away from my...boyfriend. It's so weird to say/type that. I haven't had an official real boyfriend for 3 yrs and to suddenly be in a healthy relationship...it's just strange. Life can change so suddenly. It feels really good to be with someone who really wants to be with me and there's no hang ups, issues, or emotional baggage.
Everyday I find it harder and harder to go without seeing Him. I'm trying to keep a balance though. I've had too many friends just lose themselves completely once they got into a relationship. I still want to be myself and have my life. I want to incorporate Him into my life, not let Him become my life.
He made us official on Facebook. If this isn't a step towards really being official, I don't know what is.
Actually, He did it because this weekend was our first time hanging out with each other in the presence of our mutual friend who introduced us. But it was that awkward moment where He hadn't mentioned to anyone that we were dating, so what do we do? Suddenly embrace and make out and oh, btw, we're dating mutual friend?
No, we decided to play it cool.
But apparently He wasn't subtle enough because the mutual friend asked what was going on between us. Were we gazing into each others' eyes too long? Did she notice how He was touching my leg and trying to hold my hand?
At the end of the night I was teasing Him for not being more upfront with his friend (he's known her longer than I have) in the first place. So, later that evening He asked to go steady...over Facebook.
What a dork.
So, when I last left you all I had a mild UTI. That mild UTI turned into one intense kidney infection. By last weekend I was running a high fever, vomiting, nauseous, and in pain from my kidney wanting to leave from the side of my body.
Luckily He came over and He's spent the entire week nursing me to health.
I still can't say we are official. I mean, He hasn't really told all of His friends about me. A few of my friends know about Him. He did call me His...wait for it...girlfriend to the pharmacist.
I'm so glad He was around, but really this whole thing was His fault in the first place.
All my plans for last weekend and this week were ruined. I was supposed to be in SD with my girlfriend. Now I just want to re-cooperate completely for the BFF's visit.
I'm never having sex again.
