Been a long time
Yeah, I've been lazy about writing in this thing, but honestly, there's been nothing to report or nothing that I feel like getting off my chest. There probably still isn't, but I like unloading the contents of my brains every so often. Its therapeutic.
So its the last week in October and I'm very happy about that. November has always been a personal favorite month of mine. Mostly because my birthday is in November, and my birthday always falls on or around Thanksgiving, so I get to celebrate it with my family, and they always give me cash as a present, so its always good. And of course I'm looking forward to my birthday even more this year because I'm going to London to see Elena over Thanksgiving, and I'll be spending my birthday with her.
We've never shared birthday's together. When we first started chatting, it was like 2 days before her birthday, so I wished her a happy birthday, but that was about it. She was all worried about what to get me, since I'm impossible to shop for. Everything I really want or need in this world I usually get it for myself because I'm impatient. But she said she has something picked out for me and I hope I like it. Honestly, I don't need anything from her. Just spending my birthday with her is present enough.
Same thing goes for Christmas. She'll be home 2 weeks after I leave her, and I told her I don't want anything for Christmas except for her to come home, which thankfully she agreed to. Of course I have something all picked out for her, something very very nice and very platinum and very much so wrapped in those blue boxes that women love receiving so much. I haven't gotten it yet, but I will, soon enough.
So that's where we're at on the Elena front. I'll be leaving to see her in 30 days, which can't go by soon enough. She told me not to ask her if she promises everytime we say "I love you" and I've been good about that. I usually say, good, at least now I do.
On the job and other fronts all is well. Got my housekey back from the ex and I sent her the book she wanted. We chatted last night and it was all civil. I used every chance I had to say how great things were, referred to Elena as Elena and not just "my girlfriend" and mentioned and tried not to run in too much my weight loss. Even though she was a deuce before she left (read = 200 lbs.), she said she lost 15, but has been slowly gaining it back. I didn't feel bad at all mentioning my 75 pound loss and that I unfortunately gained 4 back after London. Oh no!
The only other big news is that in about a week or two I will be going ahead with my purchase of my new laptop. I figured I just got that American Airlines credit card, I'm just going to kill the small balance I've run on it since I got it and buy the laptop and earn a crap load of miles. My mom offered to help pay a little, which will help and I've almost balance transferred my Amex onto my Discover card. One more big payment to Discover should do it. The three paychecks in October are a big help too. I can't wait to get it, thats for sure. I've been wanting a new Mac for over a year now. Its nice to finally have that dream realized.
Alright, I've typed enough and my hands and arms are getting sore. Peace out, adios and all that other junk!
