One more night...

This is Sunday night's post: (I had to write it and save it becuz internet access sucks at work!)

Well, today started off on a good note. Two wakeup calls, yet I stayed in bed because yesterday he said he wanted to sleep in so today I let it go. I guess he was ready at 7:30 because he actually called for me.   I have been sleeping well. I think because I am relaxed and a little Seroquel always helps. When I go back to Dr Sharma we are gonna have a little talk about my sleeping patterns. Maybe I can be a candidate for Lunesta or Ambien or something along those lines.

In less than 24 hours I get to see John in the flesh.  He text me at around 1pm and asked me what I was doing and I said waiting for him. His response was wont be long.  I wonder if he as anxious as I am about being together.

Im trying to take things slow. I have been known to rush into things and I don't want to do that here. I want this to work. It is kind of difficult to move quickly anyway with the limited time we are dealing with. I would love to have an entire day and a night together. Just to be. Not doing anything in particular. Just to be together. i wonder what his house is like. I would like to visit his house. I want to know more about him. What does he do when he isn't at work being the boss? Is he quiet in his own skin? I can sit home in silence and just be. Can he?

Today has been good until now. Mario ate some ham and bean soup and I am the one who suffers the next day as it comes out his system. Otherwise pretty quiet.  I canvinced him to watch TBS and the movies that they offer on a Sunday afternoon. Makes the day go by quickly. First, the ending of Yours mine and ours. Then Cheaper by the dozen. Now, Something's gotta give. After this is, at 3:30pm the Heartbreak Kid with Ben Stiller. Don't know what that one is about. All I know that by the time this movie is over it will be 3:30pm and it will be that much closer to dinnertime. After dinner it is all cake. After dinner, he won't stay up very long. Now tomorrow, I must wake up and come downstairs by 7am. I want to get him straight and be done so I can jet out the door at precisely 8am.

If I take the 8:05am bus and catch the #12 bus I can be home in record time. If I don't make the #12 bus since they overlap a bit, I will take a taxi home. I wanna be home as early as possible to clean up, shower and be ready for when John arrives.

I need to catch up with TJ to finish my tattoo. I wanna get the color done and be done with it. I know its gonna be a while before I get the whole piece done all the way to my shoulder I just don't have the money.  Well actually I do but  I think I am gonna go to Marc's to get it done. No strings attached. No innuendos. No bartering. Just cash and tattoos. I have had enough of TJ's crap. I wanna be able to make an appointment and get my work done. No questions asked. If I thought it was fair I would just go to Marc's now and get it colored. But I don't know if that would work.  I mean I am sure they could. Maybe I will see about that just getting the color done at Marc's. I am not sure if they will even touch it because they didn't start it. We will see.

I kind of get embarrassed about my tattoos when I am around people who don't have tattoos. John had a tattoo on his chest to line up with radiation. Like a speck but i dont think that really counts? I am not ashamed of my tattoos and I love them but kind of shows my wild side. I wanna be taken seriously. I don't want it to be a wedge. I have always wanted tattoos.  I love them. I love men with them. The more the better. But I don't want a bad boy. I want a real man. And if that man has to be devoid of tattoos, so be it. But where does that leave me. Am I supposed to keep my clothes on all the time. that's not going to work. I want to take my clothes off eventually. NOT THAT WAY..well yeah eventually. But I was talking about summertime and wearing less clothes when you can tell I have tattoos. Well we will cross that bridge when we get to it.  I just don't know how he is going to react. I hope well.

We are currently placing our picks for AFC and NFC finals. Be nice for a friendly bet. But he is trying to get me heated with this talk about the NJ Devils. He claims himself a Devils fan. It would make for a really difficult hockey season. I think he is dong it just to get a rise out of me! Grrrr

More to follow...these are my thoughts at the moment.  Got more to follow later...

Ok so  it's later I just couldnt post because the wireless service here at work SUCKS big time!

So my two teams in Football Playoffs won tonight. He soooo would have lost if we bets on the games.  He still has yet to tell me the terms for next week's games. He says we will discuss it tomorrow. So far all I know is it involves cooking. Either he cooks or I cook but I don't know how that works. What if I just wanna test out his cooking skills? He ate Burger King for dinner. Yuk! I can smell the grease as I eat it and that turns my stomach. Yeah I know I 'm a fucking spoiled brat. I had a huge turkey club salad for dinner. Didnt want anything heavy.

He offered to come get me from work. I need to shower and get Mario's smell off me and Lord only knows what kind of stinky mess I am walking into when I go home. I don't want him to smell or see that. I know what I had to contend with last weekend and that's after Brain cleaned up a bit. He gets off at 5:30a so by the time I get home he can leave and at least get a little nap. Driving to my house from Catawissa is enough he doesnt have to drive to Pittston. I will probably take a taxi home from the square anyway. I need to get money from the bank and I have to stop at CVS for some things on the way home. Like air freshener!

It's 9:15pm and I am posting this. I am ready for bed but I have not heard his voice yet today so I will stay up a little longer til he gets back from doing rounds. I don't know who is more excited...him or me. He keeps mentioning that the days are dragging and seems like forever til he sees me again. I am thinking the same thing but I refuse to be a gushy female. Gushy on the inside, firm on the outside. Not hard, just a little soft. LOL I'm a dork. But a happy dork. I haven't felt this way in a long time.  I was with Ron for almost 2 years and never felt anxiety with him. If he walked out the door...like he did...I was unphased. I don't want John to walk out the door. I kinda wanna block the door and keep him.

Speaking of Ron, he has my formal dresses! They are in his closet from our last 2 weddings we went to! I thought about calling him to retrieve them. But they are just dresses. I will buy new ones. I don't wanna open that can of worms. But I really liked the cream dress. And me shoes! DAMN IT! Those were nice shoes and broken in. I hope my favorite boots are in the pantry or I will really be upset. But I think I wore them out one day. Oh well. Minimal loss. I would rather let sleeping dogs lie. That would mean having to see him and shoot the shit and I really don't want that. I will gladly just go buy new dresses. It gives me an excuse to go shopping.

Ok he is back so I get to hear his ringtone. His ringtone makes me happy. Of course he probably will never hear it unless he tries to call when I am in the room or leave my phone laying around. Well off I go to talk to my boy. Tomorrow will be a good day.

Good night!

A quote for the day

I follow Reverend Runs Wisdom on Twitter and very often, like today, he comes up with some really good stuff. So here it is...

Girls want to look perfect for a bunch of guys. A woman wants to look beautiful for one man.

One more to go!

Well today is day two of my three day swing. It began with my wakeup call from John. A girl could get used to this! He was the last thing I heard when I went to bed and the first voice I heard in the morning. How could it be a bad day?

My Mario was in good spirits today. The day rolled on without a hitch and I got him to venture in the world of cable again...only nothing really good was on. So we watched Ladder 49 and he really didn't like it. He said it was too long. I guess he isnt watching the Lord of the Rings or Avatar. 3hr plus movies. His daughter and son-in-law came over in the afternoon to do the grocery shopping, clean out the litter box and basically Arlene busting his chops. Me and Mario see eye to eye on one very important fact. He is old and wants to be left alone. The man is 80+ years old. Let him sit in his recliner all day if that's what he wants! She brought over some ham n bean soup and he enjoyed that. He actually ate dinner before 5pm after he had a huge bowl of spaghetti for lunch. God bless him he has a healthy appetite. No man in my life, client or otherwise, ever lost a pound with me. I had my soup for dinner so both of us had soup. I brought all these veggies and I have to remember next week not to bring any because I have alot and dont need any here. Just my turkey and I don't even need fruit I have apples here and bread. How I ended up with so much groceries here I will never know. Just happened! As the night went on I had to endure old people trying desperatly to ball room dance and the polka show. Kill me now! The really really sad part is that I knew one of the polka songs. That is bad!

John texted me throughout the day whenever he had a break at work. Mostly we talked about bowling. I can't wait to see this. I am actually looking forward to it. The lanes open at 11am. So he has enough time to take a nap and I have enough time to get home and shower etc before he gets to the house. I don't want him to leave. And I knowright when we pick up Ariel he is gonna go. That sucks. It means I have 5 hours of his time. I guess it could be worse. It could be no time. So I will make the most of our time together. I told him my shoes smelled like the beach so now he is teasing me that I have stinky feet. Not cool. Next time I have to practice keeping random thoughts in my head. I just can't help it sometimes. There is no filter on my mouth. Whatever is in the brain spontaneously comes out before I can catch it ssometimes. Iyishia tells me I have to put it back. So she makes the hand motion of picking up the words and shoving them back in her mouth. it makes me laugh everytime. Sometimes I catch myself doing it.

So I put my Mario to bed and took a nice relaxing shower and talked to John for a bit and was almost about to go to sleep when I remembered I haven't blogged today. So here I am recording my day and thoughts of the day. I guess now I can sleep knowing my commitment is fulfilled tonight.

I spoke to Brian (my brother) and we haven't really spoken since the holidays. Just a random text here and there just to touch base. So I told him about the boy. He is happy for me. Him and Jenn are still in a state of limbo. I know its gonna be a showdown at dusk and she is gonna lose. She doesnt want to leave that means she will have to move back in with Daddy. She is sooo jealous of his exwife Demaris. He would never go back to her and if he even thought about it I would smack him HARD upside the head with a cast iron pan to knock some sense into his head! I don't understand her jealousy though. He is with Jenn. He is faithful. And she has it good in his house. Whatever she is young. I told Brian that was going to be an issue but her went there anyway.

John may text or call me when he is done doing his rounds of the plant. He said he would text first to see if I am awake. I like the thought of his voice being the last thing I hear at night and the first thing I hear in the morning. It makes me happy. he makes me happy. He is a keeper.

So good night my blogging peeps. Until the next episode tomorrow. Good night.

Back to work!

My usual Friday is back to work. It started on a good foot. The first thing I heard in the morning was John's voice.  That is a nice thing! I actually looked forward to it.  He says he will give me a wake up call from now on. That's fine by me.

I started on time but I gotta put a weekly standing order for my taxi for Friday mornings.  Transportation money for Fridays. Screw getting up and taking the bus. Maybe in the summer I will go back to that schedule. NO SCRATCH that idea. I WILL have a car by summer! So I just have to muddle my way through til April. I have to start banking money now plus my bonus money in April.  I got to work on time despite the road conditions.  And all I had to bring to work was my groceries. I forgot my medicine though. Katrina met me at John Heinz where my client has his physical therapy and brought me my medicine. So my day went by pretty quickly today. Went by so quick that we forgot all about Jeopardy!

John has texted throughout the day which is nice. Also distracts me from my day.  Other than that I spent the latter part of my day playing iSpy Funhouse on my DS. Lol! I get paid to play video games. Sweet deal.  My client was strong today and even after physical therapy wearing him out, I stil only helped him minimally. Good news for my back! He said Earl started to complain about his back hurting during this week. Who knows what that story is about. 

I wrote down John's schedule when he gave it to me last night so I don't have to keep asking him and I can kind of get an idea of when I can see him whenever our schedules match up. The beginnings of the month seem to be the best for maximum days together. I also don't want to monopolize his time. He has other commitments too. And there are two days that I am gonna see if I can swap out with Earl so I can see him and not so many days inbetween.  His birthday we are both off.  Valentines day he is off and I am putting in for it. and we both work on my birthday. We can celebrate another day. No big deal. Last birthday in 2009, Ron and I were together and I was off. He avoided me so I spent the day by myself watching tv because I had arranged for a play date for Ariel and I feel bad to cancel her dates if mine fall through. Birthday of 2008, I was working in California. No presents, no cake, no fanfare, just me.  So I am used to doing nothing for my birthday. It's just another day.

We are going bowling on Monday. This should be interesting! I always land on my ass at least once or end up going down the lane in a split. He has his own shoes and ball but claims to have not played in like two years. He said we can place bets. We agreed that the first game is practice and I get a free bowling lesson. Something about boards and nev er look at the pins. Well then what are u supposed to look at? I guess i will find out what boards he is talking about, because last time I checked there was the alley, bumpers, the gutter and the pins. Boards? Then is talking about 4 or 5 step approach. This could get ugly. But I am sure we will have fun. We will also be there during the day probably by ourselves. Most people don't bowl in the middle of the day. We can have privacy and not have anyone laughing at my ass hitting the floor!

After Mario went to bed, John got a chance to talk to me for a little while before he did his plant rounds again.  We were talking about dogs and my bad experiences with them. Dogs like me...a little too much. Apparently, I taste really good because dogs love to bite me.  It's always the dogs that their owners claim they are docile and would never hurt a fly that come after me.  I will stick to parrots and cats. Asia's border collies are cool. They are my buddies. I play fetch with them all the time and they neger grow tired of it and I find it amusing.  Until Reilly or Sierra try to lick my face! Yuk! I will play fetch with a dog all day but please don't come near my face or anything and lick. Gross! John teased me that he will remember to lick my face. He better not! I will make sure I wash my face after every meal or snack just to make sure there is nothing tempting. LOL.

He claims he is a mind reader when i told him that I was thinking about the whole bowling thing for Monday. So I asked him what was on my mind at that moment? He refused to answer.  I was thinking about his lips and I wanted to kiss them again. But I dont wanna wait til he is leaving to kiss him. I want to be greeted with a kiss. And in between. If only I could explain his lips. I will leave that up to the poets. I am just a blogger pouring my guts out to people unknown. Just to get it out. Just to share. Just to feel like somebody might be listening. Who else is gonna listen? My married/parental friends?I only pray that they can feel the spark and newness of their relationship like I have right now.  I wish they could step outside their lives if but only one day or even a few hours and be boyfriend/girlfriend again and act like starcrossed lovers.  As awkward as it is for 2 completely grown ass people to "date"...so far so good. I have no complaints. And for the time/scheduling thing. We will find a way. We will make the time.

So I say BE BOLD! Live forth without the stigma of consequences and gossip fodder. Be yourself and live in the moment! Love me like you will never see me again.  Even in sadness their is hope. And in fear there is faith. And in bitterness there is always love. Because without these things we cannot see the contrasts of our emotions. One is nothing without the other. But I wish for the latters...hope faith and love.  Have never let me down yet.

Good night all.

Slacking off again! but I'm still good.

Well today was a truly insignificant day. Most of the day was spent sleeping. It will be a miracle if I get any sleep tonight.

Yesterday, I feel accomplished though. I thought it would be a lazy day at home but it wasnt.  Thankfully, my calendar DID save when I switched phones. And to my surprise a reminder message of GYN appointment popped up. So off to Geisinger I went as I dropped off Ariel to Asia's house.  It took up most of my morning and I was just anxious to get home so I took a taxi home since I had JUST missed the bus from Geisinger and the next one didnt come for an hour. It's ok I would have still been waiting at Public Square for a bus had I been home for more than an hour.  When I went, they still had me down for inserting a Mirena IUD but I changed back to using DepoPrvera shot. It has worked all this time. Not to mention, I love the whole not getting a menstrual cycle "side effect" it has to offer! Not that I am sexually active at the moment but gotta be prepared.

In the afternoon, I spoke to John fora  little bit and then he was off to the Penguins game....which I was still jeallous about. But I went online and listened to the game. It sounded like a hell of a game. Norfolk scored early but 2nd and 3rd periods were rallied but the Penguins but they couldnt tie up up and lost 5-4. Oh well! We will get'm next time boys! John didn't get home until late and I actually went to bed early.  I was in bed by 10:30-11pm.  And I slept hard.

I woke up easily. I guess since I went to bed so early.  I was tempted to text him early knowing he is an early bird, but he said he might sleep in so I didn't just in case.  He texted me good morning at 9:35am. And I fell back asleep. I guess I needed a second wind nap. I felt bad thought because I thoroughly enjoy his conversations.  I finally snapped out of it around 11:30am and replied. He thought I fell down the steps! Not quite, but I guess that idea got stuck in his head. As much as I don't want people to worry about me, It was kind of nice that someone cared enough to worry. He got his motorcycle today and he sent me a picture. It's a good looking bike for an older model. He asked me if I would ride with him. I will once he gets used to riding by himself. He is a new rider. I really enjoy talking with him and we spoke throughout the day until around 3pm when he laid down for a nap before work.

Stacy and Chris came over today to pick up the kittys medicine. I have to stop feeding them wet food because it gives them yucky diarhea poops. I really wish they wouldnt poop on the rug behind my dining room table! So only dry food from now on! I will give them wet food during the week when I am home to monitor them. I hope their bowel movements straighten themselves out.  I think I will need a second litter box and I will put it in that corner. I really dont want a litter box on the carpet and have to vaccuum all the time but I would rather do that than clean up poop off the carpet then have to scrub it clean.

I did the dishes, tried some laundry, made grilled cheese sandwiches and bummed around the house most of the day.  I spoke to Katrina about getting Ariel's stuff back from her house and we went food shopping. I had the extra R4 chip and she bought it off me for $30. Danielle came with her to pick me up and I loaded a whole bunch of games on her chip. She is a happy girl. I'm glad. I didn't really have anything to do with the chip so at least Danielle will make good use of it. Happy Christmas present!

Katrina is buying Donna's house on Waller Street right next to hers. She should close on it in about 3 months.  I think I will be moving into that house.  It is a nicer house and around the same size as mine.  Three bedrooms one bath. Basically the same layout as mine except one more bedroom on the second floor and full finished attic like mine. But everything is drywall. I hate all this paneling anyway.  Katrina said not to jump pn it too quick because they arent even closed and she has to get rid of the tenants that are currently in the hosue. She said she doesn't like them because they are loud and partyers and flambouyantly gay.  They just put all their business in the street and she doesnt wanna deal with it. She lives next door! It would mean that Ariel would go to Kistler with Danielle and I need a PPNL account not UGI. So lets see if over the summer I move in there. Hey I will have a pool next door! Cool and our trampoline.  Its a nicer house than mine. Actually having to move is gonna be a bitch but I just need to rent a truck. At least it is the same size as my house. The perks are newer appliances, but its electric, still has gas heat, nicer bathroom, nicer finished yard, a driveway YAY, a nice porch and a seperate dining room. I get to have an office/guest room on the second floor which will be nice. So we will see what happens. The rent will be $700 a month but the other expenses will be the same except trash has to be put in those blue Wilkes Barre garbage bags.

Went food shopping today. I didn't have any produce or lunch meat or bananas to take to work. God forbid I don't have my cereal and bananas in the morning! So all my stuff is at work already besides my food. So I have minimal stuff to carry to work in the morning. Now just to take a shower and do my hair tonight and I will be ready to go. The cool part about this weekend is that John works Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then off Mon-whenever and I get off at 8am on Monday. So we actually have all week to hang out. That's cool. We only got to hang out Monday and Tuesday this week. But believe me I'm not complaining!

I acutally missed him yesterday while he was at the hockey game. He usually texts me throughout the night and I missed it. Of course, people come out of the woodwork as soon as you start dating someone. Well, here they come out of the woodwork! Jeff barely knows me and wants to wine and dine me. No dice sorry! Paul thinks I met his Mom so we should be married! Boy is he mistaken! He really weirded me out with that! I didn't think it was "a joke" when someone says I have a mother in law. Like hell I don't! And then Kevin thinks I will even give him a chance. Too young is age and behaviors. Anyway, I'm not interested. I really like John. Let's see where this goes...

Well, it's sandwich night here at home. Got cold cuts and fresh bread and macaroni salad. Yummy! Didn't feel like cooking and leftovers that were just gonna sit in the refridgerator over the weekend.  I am gonna take my chicken soup to work. That should be a nice lunch. Mario will like it. He likes soups. Gotta meet up with Katrina tomorrow and hit the mac machine for the rent money. I didn't even think that I was gonna be at work on the 8th but we got it straightened out.

Ariel will be at Iyishia's house this weekend.  I will be at work. Hopefully I will have internet service! I will have plenty of movies to watch though. Oh! The hangover actually played on John's DVD player. That means I need to get a newer DVD player because it wont play on my DVD player. I guess because it's an older model. DVD players are so cheap these days anyway.  Also, it's easier than using DVD flick to convert torrents to DVDs.  That means I don't have to convert them and be able to burn them and play them. I'm glad he was able to see it. He said he liked it.  I thought it was a funny funny movie. 

I think we are going to go to bed early again tonight so I don't have to worry about waking up. I already basically have everything that I need for work ready to go. I just need to pick out some scrubs to wear tomorrow and I am good to go. I have to put Ariel's overnight bag together but that is painless.

John just called me from work. Caught me completely off guard because he called me from his office number.  I put it into my phone so I will know it's him next time.  He told me he has photos of Ariel on his computer.  I guess they transferred over when I hooked up my phone to show him how music etc would show up on itunes. I don't care. Just there are no pix of me. Sad face. Only pics of Ariel, my cats and my client. I guess he really doesnt need a pic of my client. LOL I am surprised he called me from work, but happy he did. He went over his schedule for the rest of the month. It looks like we will be able to spend a few days together after all. When he calls me back, because Ariel needed my help with her homework, we will go over it together.  I have to look at a calendar to be able to follow a schedule. I will write it down so I know! I wanna see if he is off Martin Luther King Day. If he is off I will stay off. If he is working I will offer to work that day for Earl. I will opt to take off whatever day John is off since his schedule gets pretty hairy. I want to be able to spend time with him so I will try and see how I can work it out since his schedule is more concrete than mine. Friday and Mondays are easy enough to swap. We will see how this pans out.

Well I am gonna sign off for now...let's see how it goes........my future is so birght I gotta wear shades.

My Mango


Best Friends


Both Ariel and Oliver asleep on the couch
