One Last Time

So last night Andrew and I were laying in bed, and we wanted to make love one last time before he left.

I went and cleaned and everything, but then checked to make sure it was all good. Damn Cosby Kids didn’t want to go to the pool. Fuckers.

So we just made out and stuff. It was really good to get to do at least that much one last time.

I’m really really going to miss him so much. I put all the pictures on my computer and was doing a quick slide show so that he could see them all, and I just kept crying so much. I held them back mostly, but all the pictures are so cute, and so wonderful. They remind me of what a great guy he is, and was.

I’m so sad to see him going, and it sucks so much that he’s leaving. I have a feeling that Thursday morning I’ll be sitting in my office crying for a while. Hopefully Ramsey won’t be there, so I don’t have to kick him out of my office.

Anyways, my battery is dying, so I’ll have to go.

A Day In New York

Well yesterday was very fun. We spent the day in New York City. So much excitement there.

Though it really wasn’t at all what I was expecting. WE got up about 8 and got ready and drove into the city with Sue and John, got there about 10ish and went to Sue’s office. That was fairly interesting. After that we walked out of the office and towards Central Park. Sue showed us where to go and we headed into the park. That was really cool. I was very amazed at how there could be such a huge park in the middle of such a big city!

I was also very amazed at how many people there were in the park running and such. Very interesting. We headed towards the Central Park Zoo and had a good time there it wasn’t as big as I thought it would be, but it had all the major animals that make a zoo, so I guess it counts. So that was fun.

After the zoo we headed back into the park and found this REALLY cool area, where we both declared it would be a great place to hold a wedding. It was so pretty! We sat there and had a hot dog and pop. After that we headed back towards Central Park West and 77th to the Museum of Natural History. We got there and the line was REALLY long. So we stood in it and there was this Indian woman that kept staring at us. Very annoying. We finally got through the line, it cost me only $9 to get in, so that wasn’t too bad.. $3 less then normal admission.

We got in there and walked around forever! It was really really cool, but again, I wasn’t in the mood to sit and read everything. Museums that big need to be a two or three day thing. I really do think so. Again, it was a really cool museum, but about half way through my feet really stated to hurt, so I sat down for a bit. After that they felt better, but we just breezed through the rest of the place. Good times though.

Headed out of there about 3:30 and towards 5th (back through the park again) and then took 5th from 77th down to about 42nd. We stopped in all the crazy expensive shops. It’s so insane that in some of them it’s like $200 or $300 for a fucking t-shirt. Very annoying. And some of the suits were like $1800, and all they were were plain black two button suits. Crazyness. And of course everyone in the stores was UBER bitchy. It’s like, HELLO, why would anyone shop here, people are far too bitchy.

Kept walking and we ran into these people that we’re like, What are you guys following us it was very weird because we had no idea who they were and they were just like randomly talking too us. They claimed to have seen us in the museum and the zoo, then again where we were. Very scary. We crossed the street to avoid them.

The Gap store was closed, the only store that we could afford and it was closed, How sad is that! Grrr.

Anyways, kept walking to 42nd and then took that down to 7th, where times square is. That was really cool to see, I took a panoramic picture of it and hopefully it’ll turn out well.

We shopped a bit more after that, and then headed down 7th where there was this HUGE street fair. Very cool times. We were a bit pressed for time by then, so we didn’t hang out there too much. After that we kinda headed over to 8th and walked down it a bit, Found more porn stores in like a 2 block area then we have in all of Iowa. Very insane! But since we didn’t have time we didn’t go into any of them, very sad!

Once we found 33rd street we looked for the train station, because it was about 6:30 by then. Found what I thought was it, but since it didn’t say Penn Station on it, we didn’t know if that was right, so we walked across the street to Macy’s and asked. It was indeed Penn Station, so we walked down there and couldn’t figure out the trains, so we had to ask this crazy woman. She was very helpful though and we figured it all out.

The little display that had the info on it as to where our train was coming it at (Tracks 1-12, but who knew which track it would be on) didn’t have the track number on it, at about 6:50 it FINALLY got the number on it and everyone that was standing around stated RUNNING like mad men to the train. So Andrew and I were like, we better run too. So we ran through all the people and got to the door for track 12, and found out that all those people were actually running to somewhere else (I’m guessing track 13-21 since they were in the same area). So we got on the train and just picked the first door that we came too, went in and sat down.

My god was that a BAD idea. It was so fucking hot in there, and since we had never been on these trains before we had no idea if it was supposed to have been that hot or not. So we sat there for a while and everyone that came in was like, OMG, it’s HOT

Eventually someone said that it was cooler in the other cars, so we went and sat in the one behind us.

It was very scary sitting on that train though tell it left the station because we had no idea if we were actually on the right train or not. But once the train stated moving they said that it was going to the place that we needed to go to. So that’s good.

The train ride was all right. I tried to sleep, but really couldn’t.

Got home and it was late, we laid around in bed for a bit, then went down and got cheesecake, then came back upstairs and Andrew gave me a message. That was VERY nice 😉

Today we didn’t get out of bed tell like 11, and haven’t done much since. His grandma came over and she was funny. But she didn’t stay long.

Anyways, I’m out, Laters all!

Sitting Around

Ok, so yesterday we were supposed to have gone out with Andrew’s dad to go mini golfing. I figure he should have been here about 5ish or so, but he called and said that the power just went out and he didn’t know what time he would be offpick work, so Mary was going to come pick us up and then take us out somewhere and he would meet up with us. So we call her and they were just leaving the beach about 6ish or so, which is an hour away from here.

So we were supposed to be picked up probably around 5, but ended up not being picked up tell nearly 8. Very annoying.

All because of some blasted fucking blackout in NYC, and most of the north east. Sue and John were both stuck in NYC. They were some of the crazy millions of people that were all walking around. It was so crazy, they closed the bridges and people were all walking home. It was major chaos, thankfully they got a train about 10 or so from Penn Station.

It was mad around here for a bit while that was happening.

Anyways, we finally get to dinner and eat and stuff. We went to this place called Big Ed’s they had ribs, which were pretty good. But I got something else,. The chicken fingers.

Umm, after that we went over to his dad’s house and saw Bryan for a bit since he didn’t come to dinner. That was crazy because Andrew abandond me downstairs so I was cornered by his dad and we talked about the big flood in their house. Crazyness. Eventually Mary saved me and I went upstairs to find Andrew and Brayn and Eric all in bed together. Iit was so cute, I wanted a picture of it!

We finally got home at like 10:30 which was really annoying because we were supposed to get up really early to go into NY this morning by train.

So we got up this morning at 6:30, both of us showered and were getting ready when we found out that most of NY still didn’t have power. So that was annoying. I went back to sleep and Andrew played video games.

We finally rolled out of bed about 10:30 or so and went downstairs, watched springer and just spent the day here in our Pj’s. Very cute. Though Everyone was home and were being very annoying.

We got yelled at for having our pop/water on the end table, Now, this is very annoying because he’s got this copper coffee table, and if you set something on it it leaves marks, but there’s no COASTERS to put anything on, so we were like.. Well put it on the end table which has a table cloth on it, well he yelled at us for having it there. It was like.. .WELL WHERE DO YOU WANT IT PUT!!. Then he made some comment under his breathe aabout not being able to wait tell we leave. I found it very rude. Then his mom was all bitchy because we didn’t want to go swimming. And that’s because the pool is uber cold.

Anyways, much bitching went on.

Tonight we went to some outlet mall thing. That was GREAT. I got 7 new pairs of underwear. Though this wasn’t tell after all the bickering and bitching at the dinner table about how they are paying for Andrew’s college yet agagin. And also how Sue asked him like 10 times why he wanted to go there in the first place. And the waitress there was such a stupid WHORE!

Shopping was fun. We met back up with his mom/john/Kelly/grandpa about 8, but had to sit there tell 8:50 because the checkout woman was really stupid.

Rod home with his grandpa in his Mercedes convertible, that was fun. And stopped at some place for ice cream.

Now we’re here.

We should be going to NY tomorrow morning. John and Sue are going to drive us in and then we’re going to take the train back. Should be fun. I have $100 left to spend. That should get me through for the rest of the time here cause once we get to Cali I shouldn’t have to spend too much.

Night all. I’m tired!

One More Week…

What a LONG weekend… But very very good.

This update is going to be really long… (Everyone ready?)

Today…

Ok, first I’d like to complain about this morning so far. I got up late and came into work late, mostly because I’m only working 8 hours a day this week, because I’m not taking any days off, so yeah. No need to work 10 hours and have a whole day off or anything.

Well over the weekend Barb had opened an attachment with a virus, so I had to take care of that first thing this morning… Luckily I couldn’t sleep Saturday night (more on this later) and had sent her instructions as to what to do. So when I got here she was already taking care of that. Not that big of a deal really.

So I came into my office and was doing my normal stuff, then Nazanin comes in and she’s like, “What’s the Vermont Password.” and I’m like, “It’s the same it’s been for months now.” And then she’s like, “Well I can’t log in.”

Grrr, she’s just so stupid. So then I tell her the password, and she’s like, “It’s supposed to be 3’s and not E’s”.

Now, I don’t remember if I bitched about it when it was all happening, but I WANTED the 3’s and she insisted on the E’s in the password. So then she get’s all bitchy about it and goes literaly grabs my keyboard and changes it herself.

Then she’s like, “Gary’s having e-mail problems.” So I had to sit here and fix that while she stood over my shoulder. I really hate when she does that. Anyways, fixed that then she’s like, “Is there going to be a good fix for this soon.”

At this point I was already wanting to slap her, because I haven’t beem sleeping well, I’m tried, cranky and very bitchy… So with her asking that I just wanted to drop kick her out of my office. So I tell her YET AGAIN, that as soon as Barb goes through this list of accounts that I have that need to be deleted, we can switch over to Axiom, which has EVERYTHING she wants changed, changed.

Grrr.

Anyways, now off to start the weekend… Which was probably one of the most fun and also saddest weekends I’ve had in a LONG time!

Thursday…

Thursday night Andrew came up, and I knew that he’d be hungry by the time that he got here, so I made the Hamburger Helper that I’ve had in my apartment forever. I don’t really like it, and it’s too much for me to eat at once, so I thought it’d be a good time to get rid of it. I also made a peanut pie so that he could try that.

He got here and supper was just getting done, so we hugged and talked for a few minutes then ate supper. After we ate Jamie and Bryce called and asked if we wanted to go over there for a while to hang out and have a few beers. I was like, “Sure, why not.” Though I didn’t think we’d actually drink too much “beer” since I don’t like it. I figured Andrew and I would go over, have a good time and they would drink.

Well we get there and we hung around talking some. Bryce has a SWEET ass apartment. I really wish mine were that nice! Perhaps he can come decorate for me! lol. After a while, Bryce asked us what we wanted to drink and then proceeded to open this thing with like 8 million bottles of hard alcohol. So we drank, everything that he made was UBER yummy. I’ll have to find out what exactly he was making. The last drink we had wasn’t so good though, but I think it’s because it wasn’t mixed quite as well.

So we all got drunk and played card games and had a really good time. Andrew and I spent the night there.

Friday…

We got up Friday morning and ate Breakfast with Bryce… Who is a very good cook based on his breakfast! lol. Also watched the Nanny while we were eating. Very amusing show. After breakfast Andrew and I broke and went back to my place and showered and waited tell Jamie got off work.

Jamie got there and I left to go to my Doctors appointment, and Andrew and her went off to start moving.

Doctors appointment was good, though I think the eye doctor would be the scariest place for a small child. I mean I think out of all the doctors they have the most weird looking crazy ass machines in their office!

After the appoitnment I hurried over to Jamie’s new appartment and helped them unpack. Once we were done with that we went back, got another load and then came back and unpacked that as well. Jim’s plan was really late, so Bryce called some hick that he works with and we got a truck. Went and packed some of the big dressers and stuff and hauled that back to the appartnemt.

That was DRAMA! The tailgate on the truck doesn’t stay up, so I had to sit in the back of the truck and hold the tailgate up so that stuff wouldn’t fall out, and I had to hold up this big tall dresser so that when he turned it wouldn’t fall over! Now this doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, but the appartment and the storage unit were on complete OPPOSITES of the city! And we had to take a gravel road, and cruvy windy roads, the Bryce kept jerking the truck, and it was just drama.

Luckily the second trip that we made didn’t require someone to sit in the back of the truck!

Once we were done with all that, Andrew and I broke and went back to Waukee to hang out with Girls…

That was even more drama. First off, I knew that Courtney didn’t really WANT me there, she was just putting up with me being there, so that upset me. And then I just felt really out of place, and I could tell that Andrew was getting annoyed with a few things, and yeah. We went off to Gray’s lake and they made Andrew drive because there was a “Wasp in Courtney’s car”. I swear that girl will do anything to get out of driving somewhere. Much more drama at Gray’s lake, and then went bowling. I really didn’t want to go bowling, and I figured that I could just sit there and have a good time watching them bowl, etc. Which is what I usually do when I go bowling.

Ride there Andrew was fairly bitchy to me, which put me in an even worse mood then I already was. It’s understandable that he was upset with the girls, but it just hurt me that he was as bitchy to me as he was. Got to the bowling alley and I was forced to bowl. Which pissed me off even more!

I would have to say that that’s the first time in months that I’ve been actually pissed pissed off. To the point where I just sit and don’t talk to anyone. Which is usually the best thing for me tell I calm down because I would usually end up saying something to hurt feelings.

Ride home there was a bit of a fight between Andrew and I. I will have to admit that it was what I would consider to be our first fight. Very sad that it had to happen and even sadder that it happened so close to his leaving.

Anyways, we got home and made up. Which was good, because I hate being mad at people, and I HATE having people made at me!

While Andrew was getting ready to go to bed he kinda had a break down and started crying. I felt bad that all I could do was hold him. I really wish there would have been more to do. Though I think we’ll both need that a lot over the next week to two weeks. I think for me this week will be the worst, because I think about things in the “It’s the last time we’ll…” Type stuff. You know.

Anyways we went to bed, and I slept really well.

Saturday…

Got up Saturday morning and he went to work. I stayed at his house just doing random stuff. I watched a movie, which was really good and made him some lunch for that day and so that he would have stuff to take to lunch this week.

He FINALLY got home at 2:30 and we ate lunch and the stupid realator came and was a bitch, and she was really stupid too, not very good at her job, I don’t think.

After that we broke and drove up to Ames, met up with his sister and family and the like. And went out to dinner. I thought his dad was very rude towards him and his sister. He hardly said a word to either of them. He talked to Bryce 90% of the time, and I would have to say that he said more to me, minus things regarding Andrew’s college tution, then he did to Andrew. Just very rude and Andrew seemed to be fairly upset. Dinner was really good though, and it was nice of him to pay!

Went back to Jamie’s and watched a movie, which didn’t get over tell like midnight. Andrew and I broke as the credits were rolling and came back to my place. He played a few video games and then we went to bed.

Sunday…

We got up Sunday morning fairly early, but it was also semi sleeping in. I was still UBER tired though because I just couldn’t sleep Saturday night. I don’t know why. Well, I have an idea that I was just way to upset about everything to be able to sleep. So I spend from about 1AM tell about 4:30AM just sitting in my living room, reading, watching TV, and taking down pictures. I also went for a walk… But it was a bit cold, so it was short. lol.

I took down all my pics on the wall that I had because they were just upsetting me too much. Everytime I looked at them, al I could think about is how sad it’s going to be once he’s gone and how much I’m going to miss him. I looked at them and though of all the happy, great times that we’ve had together. And then cried because we’re not going to have any more of them. They’ll go back up, probably pretty soon. I can’t stand the bare wall either.

About 4:30 I went back into bed and Andrew was practically sitting up. I thought that he was awake, but later on he stated that he wasn’t. I laid in bed next to him and kissed him, and then we layed there cuddling. (All while he claims he was sleeping) I think I finally got to sleep about 5 or 5:30.

We got up, showered and then headed back to Jamie’s to have breakfast with his dad… Again hardly a word was spoken. Though more then the night before… I’m guessing that’s because Bryce wasn’t there for his dad to talk too.

Also, who knew they made low-fat suasage, and bakon… Crazyness if you ask me!

After breakfast we all went to Reiman Gardens, which was nice, though very sad for me. One of the MANY things on my list of stuff I wanted to do one last time before Andrew left was to go there and hang out, like we did the month before we started dating. More on the list later.

Once we were done with Reiman, Andrew and I split from his fam and went to the Mall to look for glasses for me. Looked at some really good ones, though Andrew wasn’t much of a help because he kept saying that like every pair looked good on me. I need someone that’s going to be critical of them. I liked the girl that worked there and we narrowed it down to one set. Now I just have to find out how much my mom’s really willing to pay for glasses because she said “$150” but the frames alone are that much! And the lenses are another $150 because of my prescription! And there’s no way that I’m going to pay for that shit!

I really don’t understand why she won’t just pay for my contacts, it’d be MUCH cheaper for her.

After that we underwear hunting, for guess who… ANDREW! lol.

From there back to my place where we spent the rest of the night laying in bed, and I spent a large portion of it crying. I don’t really know what came over me, but I just couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. I let a lot of them flow, but still not the full amount. I always feel so stupid crying infront of someone.

He left about 7:15ish, and I went and watched TV.

After a while, I hear a knock on my door and I’m like.. “Who the hell would that be.” So I went and looked out the peep hole, and there wans’t anyone there, so I started to head back to the couch, but I decided that I had better answer it. So I opened the door and out popped Andrew with a big thing of flowers and a cute card! I was so touched, it was so very nice of him! We talked for a bit more and then he left.

I spent the rest of the night on the verge of tears, watching TV, and listening to Music trying to make myself a mix CD. Andrew called and we talked for like an hour as well.

Didn’t sleep well… That’s a shock, really.

Randomness…

My e-bay thing is doing really well, so far it’s up to $97 from $49, and there’s been 262 people that have visisted it! How cool is that! I just hope my other things will sell as well.

The list… I have this big list, though most of it I can never remember. I really wanted to get so much more done this summer then we had time to do. And now we’re down to the last week. He already has so much planned for himself on almost every night. Though I’m going down on Wed, perhaps we can do some of it that night. This weekend we have PACKED to the brim with things to do…

State Fair
Spaghetti Works
One Last Night Downtown
One Last Drag Show
And other stuff that I have written down in my car.

One other thing that I really wanted to do was get a surprise party for him, but that’s been ruined now.

I seem to recall there being something else I wanted to talk about here, but now I can’t remember it!

Oh, we saw Jackson at Gray’s lake Friday night… I didn’t realize it was him though tell we had already walked past each other… How crazy is that though!

Now I’m done, and there’s a box of Sandia garb… Must go raid!

Laters!

Weekend Of Movies

So this weekend has been really great. Though not much has been happening.

Friday I met up with Andrew about 7:45ish, we ate Brats, they were really yummy. And it was so cute, cause we sat out on the deck.

After that we went up to my room and excahged three month gifts… He got me Requiem For A Dream and PI.

But best of all there was a CD, with a bunch of paper attached to it… It had a bunch of songs on it and on the paper was the lyrics to all the different songs. I don’t think anyone could top that gift, it was just so thoughtfull and wonderfull. I listened to the CD the next day on my way to his house and it made me cry. I have a feeling that’ll become my newest favorite CD to listen to!

I felt kinda stupid about what I had gotten him after that because it really wasn’t near as thoughfull. But I knew that he would like it, and that’s good. I got him the Cho’ster!

I had actually be trying to make a CD like that for him, but I was planning on giving it to him right before we parted ways in August. But So far every CD that I’ve made, I’ve ended up hating for some stupid reason… Perhaps I’ll continue working on that and see if I get anything that I like out of it!

Once we had finished with that we laid there in my bed for a bit and just talked some, then we went downstairs and watched the Cho! Very amusing!

He left about 11ish, and I was semi-annoyed that he was leaving so early, but he did have to go to work early in the morning, so it was fine.

Saturday I got up and took a shower about 9ish. As I was in the shower my mom comes and knocks on the door and is like, “Your dad needs your help outside.” I wasn’t really expecting anything big, but I got out and then just threw on some shorts and an old t-shirt. Went out there and he had the pond EMPTY! I was like, “WTF?”

I guess a Coon had gotten in there and put a few holes in the bottom of the pond, so he was emptying it and getting a new liner. He needed help transporting the fish from the pond to a HUGE tank that we have… That was very intersting times because we have some VERY big fish in that pond and they really flopped around a lot once you got them out of the water, and then the dog kept jumping in and trying to “Help” catch them, and then when we were handing the net back and forth with fish in it the dog kept trying to bite at them, etc. Stupid dog.

That only took like 30 minutes or so, and after that I was all hot and sweaty, so I jumped in the pool and went swimming for a while. Ahhh, how I miss the days of being able to just swim all day long! After about an hour in there it was time to go and start getting ready to go meet up with Andrew. So I went inside, dressed, did my hair and then stuck my head out the door to tell them that I was leaving. And then they were like, “Wait a minute we need your help.” So I had to go out there andhelp them move this BIG ASS ROCK. I got all dirty and really sweaty, because we were in the sun, and I was dressed semi-nice and yeah. Just very annoying.

Once I finally got to go, I rushed to the half-price book store, and returned a few books, then went over to Andrew’s.

We hung out there for a little bit waiting for his mum to get home, then we went out to the Tropical Snow, but they were closed, so we went to the Ice Cream shop that’s next door and got really good ice cream.

After that we went to the Mall, or did we do that before the ice cream… I don’t really remember. It’s been so long since we’ve been there, they’ve changed alot. And the only reason we went there Saturday was because Andrew had a gift cert to spend. No need letting it go to waste just to prove a point. So we went there, and I just can no longer believe that Andrew and I used to meet at the mall every Friday and spend so much time there, it’s just such a horrible place. Well Horrible’s not really the right word, but you know what I mean. I just can’t believe that so much time has been wasted there.

Anyways, that night we ended up at my house and watched PI. Very goof movie… Though it is a bit strange at times, ok, the whole freaking movie is strange, but it’s still good. I really liked it and I’m glad I finally got to see it.

After the movie (Or again, was that before??) We went swimming and then hot tubbing for a short bit, but it was UBER hot int here, so we didn’t stay long.

Went to bed really late that night, but nothing really interesting happened.

Got up Sunday and we just laid in bed talking untell about 11ish. Finally got up cause we were both starving and went and I made French Toast (Or as the stupid’s in Washington like to call it, “Freedom Toast”). After that we watched the other movie and it was really good too, though just as, if not more creepy then PI.

Once we were done with that we went back to Andrew’s house because much drama was going on there, soemthing about Alex and his Sister and Eggs and not getting on a plane and police, it was just a regular Jerry Springer show over there., I’m sure you can go to his website and read all about it all!

Sunday really consisted of nothing, after all the drama went down we spent the rest of the evening in his room downloading ROMS and trying to figure out some programs. Went for Tropical Snow about 8:30 or so, because Court wasn’t going to be able to go tell much later. Went there and that was really good. I can’t believe I haven’t been eating those all summer long! lol.

After that went back to his house, and said our goodbyes… Only one more weekend of having to do that. So very sad.

Oh, one thing we did do on Sunday was take down a big thing of his pictures in his room. That was really sad, there were a couple times that I started to tear up. It’s so sad to see him packing.

Got home and had a TON of IM’s from people. I know who some of them are, but there were a few randoms, which is weird because I usually don’t get randoms anymore… Maybe it’s because they all know that I have such a hot boyfriend that they know there’s not stealing me away from him! roflol.

Today has been very busy already. Came into work and got a ton of stuff done early in the day, and then Barb came in and her computer was broken, so I had to fix that and then call Dell.. Spent the last hour on the phone with them because they’re “Network was slow.” I think the guy was just really slow. lol.

Other then that, not much really going on.

And that’s my boring life!
