So I love that people are now reading this, not that I find my life all that interesting. Hopefully that means you all do! Haha.
My concerns were, of course, unwarranted yesterday. In almost all situations, those concerns are unwarranted. It’s just the “crazy girl” who comes out and gets worried. Crazy girl goes away real quick, though. Thank God. The crazy girl part of me is slooooooowly dying… hallelujah!! Unofficial just does things that make me so happy and giggly. Take yesterday for example. I’m at work. I’m bored. I am worried about him sounding all “meh” on that voicemail. And then he texts me saying we should meet for dessert. We did and then he stayed here. It’s silly and we didn’t do anything phenomenal for our meet up (The 99 ya’ll… hahah) but it was nice. I LIKE spending time with him… no matter what we’re doing. *SIGH*
I had a problem sleeping last night. People may find this funny but I sleep far better with Unofficial at his place than mine. His bed is bigger, I think that’s the main reason. At first I thought it was because he decides to sleep on the other side of the bed when he’s at my place, but I made him switch at some point last night and I still couldn’t sleep. (Holy run-on… this is why I can’t pass a bar exam!!) The other reasoning could be that his bed is more comfortable? eh… who knows. Regardless… I slept maybe an hour last night with him here. Got up when he had to leave to head home (6:30 ish) and then went back to sleep until 10:30. I got maybe a good 3 hours in… MAYBE.
With such little sleep, work seemed far more daunting than normal. I had to work a double again. I “volunteered” to pick up a lunch shift today. Friday’s are usually pretty good but nooooooooooooo… when I pick it up it SUCKS. Whatever. (end rant) During the dinner shift, one of the other servers came up to me randomly and said “Unofficial’s parents are at table 14 and want you to go over and say hi.” Yes, I’ve met his parents before. That’s a story for another time. Yes, they know where I work, it’s kind of where I first met Unofficial (and his mom…awwwww). Anywho… I went over and, of course, could not leave them alone for the rest of the night. His parents are just amazing. So sweet and kind and adorable. I LOVE them. I like him but LOVE his parents…hahahaha… so bad. They were with their best friends who I had previously met (by chance) at a restaurant Unofficial and I were at for our second date.
As I think about this, all parties at the dinner table must know how long this thing has gone on so far. And maybe it was mentioned in convo? I feel like this is a long thing for him. I mean, based on responses from his family and friends, I think I’m the longest since the divorce. It makes me all warm and fuzzy to think about… haha.
They were great, I didn’t wait on them technically. I mean, they were Cute Blondie’s table but I was over there at all pivotal moments. I even bought them desserts and coffees. Of course, they didn’t know this was happening. I went over, helped them decide on some desserts, got a coffee/tea order and brought everything out. When CB went to bring the check she informed them I had taken care of that part of their meals. I felt like it was the appropriate thing to do. I like knowing them and being able to do something cute. They definitely gave me some shit about him and how we met and how I gave him GREAT service but ignored his mom… hahaha. Not completely true (I gave her good service too!!) but it made me blush… (hard to do!).
And onto housing news…. I’ve called a few people, emailed a few people and made some appointments. I got real excited about a 2 bedroom in Dorchester that is available for like a ridiculously low rental amount. Problem: I text Unofficial with the address to see what he thinks. Background: I know basically NOTHING about where is good or bad to live in the Boston area. This is a very new adventure for me. So, I text my trusted Unofficial for his opinion because I know he wants me somewhere safe and good. His response: SnarkyRunner, that is not the best part of Dorchester. It is rare for him to do the whole NAME [comma] etc etc in a text UNLESS he’s being REAL serious and protective. So… that’s kind of sad. I’m going to check it out regardless and take a look around.
Tomorrow I have an “appointment” to meet with this girl in Quincy who has a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment. It’s in a complex though and I’d rather live in like a multi-fam or brownstone. Also, it’s more expensive than the place I’m about to talk about would be. I’m just not sure about it.
Monday, I have an “appointment” to see two places. Unofficial and I have tentative plans for sushi Monday night, so I figured I’d make some appointments to see places closer to where he lives prior to dinner. So, the first appointment is another roommate situation. It’s the cheapest of my options right now. She seemed nice on the phone. I found her on myspace though, and I’m not sure if we’ll mesh. Unfortunately, she’s smart enough to be “privatized” so I can’t REALLY see anything. She appears at first glance to be “goth.” However… she was super nice on the phone, LOVES animals so having Simon was a plus for her, it’s CHEAP, and the pictures look pretty nice. Downside: not a lot of storage that we’re aware of… she has to check to see if there’s anything in the basement. More bonuses: It’s in Allston which is BASICALLY Boston(!!!), on the bus/train lines, google maps says it would be 10 minutes to get to Unofficial’s house (!!) etc.
After that appointment, I have one with some real estate kid (he sounded younger than me). It’s a small 1 bedroom in Brighton (again, basically Boston!!) and relatively cheap. He said it’s small and minimal though. If I’m going small, why not share right? Then I’m cutting a TON of cost if I do that… so we’ll see….
Lots of exciting stuff going on here! wahoo!
My ex texted me today. And I read Random’s blog from yesterday which got me thinking. Why do we talk to ex’s? Do you think it’s healthy? Granted, my situation is faaaaaaar different than R’s… and I’m not sure how good of terms ex and I are on (seeing as I made him talk to me for 2 hours when drunk the other night… oh yeah, I was THAT girl) but still… why do we do it?
I find your life interesting
I think I find yours just as interesting but can’t read it any more
No fun!!
First…glad everything worked out well with Unofficial. I sometimes have a very difficult time sleeping next to someone the first time. I think this is because I tend to fidget and normally I am on my back and a girl has her head on my shoulder and an arm across my chest and I feel like I can’t move.
Sounds like many housing opportunities to check out – that’s great!
On to speaking to an Ex…it can be hard. Boss and I went about 6 weeks without speaking which, I think, was remarkably short. We still get frustrated with each other and start getting short with each other but we’re learning to have healthy distance. It isn’t easy.
