I''m here! I''ve been cleaning all day, and my house looks livable which is rather impressive.

Okay, the part of the house I use looks livable. Minus the bedroom. But who cares about the bedroom, anyways, right?

Yay, someone''s here! hehe.

I think the same way! I always clean every other room in our apartment but hardly ever the bedroom. Nobody sees it but us anyway, so why waste the time?!?! haha.

so that''s how you spent your saturday? cleaning? I did laundry... oh the joy!
 
Yeah. BF is working a double, and I am just feeling antisocial lately, so I decided to finally make my living quarters not revolting. I don''t have too much left to do, thank goodness. Tidy up a few rooms, take stuff out to the trash, and do the bedroom. What''s frustrating is I have NO storage in the bedroom, basically. I have closets, but no dresser, no bookshelves, nothing. And no money to get any. I''ve got to do my taxes so I can get my tax return and actually get some bedroom furniture (yay IKEA). But I feel SO much calmer now that the house looks good.

yeah it''s amazing how much better you feel after the place is cleaned! my situation is kind of reversed, I have dressers but NO closets. Hate it and can''t wait to move into a new place with nice big closets!

FF is currently on the couch sleeping. He hasn''t felt good all day. I feel bad for him.

We''re supposed to be getting some thunderstorms tonight. Yay! LOVE them! Now if only I had a good scary movie to watch...

I adore thunderstorms. We''ve got a covered porch and you can go outside and stay pretty dry and watch the storms. SO COOL.

I''ve got 2 amazing closets. Really, really amazing. Equal sizes, too! But no drawers. Nothing. I want to hang a lot of pictures, but I just don''t know where to put them yet. It''s obnoxious to not know where I want things. I really prefer getting things sorted and having *my* stuff up, but I''m decorating with my stuff and my parents'' stuff and so it''s this weird mix of stuff right now. That didn''t make sense. But neither does my decorating right now!
 
Haha! I never know where I want anything... or WHAT I want for that matter. I am the most indecisive person you''d ever meet. Seriously. Everyone hates to shop with me for the pure fact that I''ll have a whole bunch of things in my basket that I plan to buy... and by the end of the shopping trip, I''ll have put everything back and not actually buy a darn thing! haha. It takes me FOREVER to make a decision. It''s really something I dislike about myself. I''ve gotten into the habit of having FF make pretty much all the decisions. It''s just easier.

I wish I had a porch to watch storms.

Ooh, I''m the worst about deciding where to hang photos/art! We''ve lived in this condo since January, and there is only one piece of art on the wall. The rest of the pieces are all framed and ready to go, but we can''t decide which walls they''ll go on, so they''re all leaning against a wall in the spare bedroom.

I know I''m painting the walls, so I''m hanging things without fear right now because I can putty the holes and start fresh once it''s painted. Woohoo!

I think I''m the opposite IHA. I''m extremely decisive and act on a decision as soon as I make it. Definitely not a good thing. I need to sit back and think about things more often, because just jumping on a decision gets me in a little bit of trouble sometimes.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean.

About the only thing I can actually make a quick decision on is something having to do with my relationship. Love. It''s easy for me to make decisions when it comes to that.

So what are your plans for tomorrow??
 
Making progress with the bedroom. I''ll probably work on it tonight and tomorrow. It''s nuts. And then there''s a cookout at my friend''s house that I''m going to.

What about you?

Hmm... Nothing as of the moment. Probably just a lazy Sunday... which would make a lazy weekend. Ugh. I hate when there is nothing to do!

I hope you have fun at the cookout! I haven''t been to one yet this year... but Memorial Day weekend is next weekend so maybe someone will be having one! I hope!
 
BF actually gets Memorial Day weekend OFF! It''s a miracle! And he might have a job offer coming in this week and I''m on pins and needles waiting to hear about it. I really really really want him to get this job. *fingers crossed*
 
I have my fingers crossed for him too!! What state are you guys in??

ETA: I dawned on me that you might not even be in the US... lol... so I apologize for automatically assuming...

No worries, we''re in the States right now. We live in NC. What about you?
 
I''m in New York.

I''ve never been to NC... would like to someday. Actually, I''d like to go anywhere but here... lol.

Oooh, I love New York! What part of the state are you in? Most of BF''s family lives up North (NYC and CT) and I''m trying to get a trip in sometime this summer. So many friends, so little time...
 
I am about an hour or so north of NYC. And about 30 to 45 min away from Danbury, CT.

Gotcha. You should come down and visit NC sometime. It''s got lots of fun stuff to do. (I just don''t like living here that much, lol.)

Haha. New York has stuff to do too... I've just lived here all my life and well, it's all the same... I'm bored with it. haha. I think it's probably the same for everyone who has lived in the same place for so long.

I'm def gonna make it to NC one day! Maybe I'll tell FF I want to go there for our next vacation. I can't believe I only have 15 days (as of tomorrow) until our cruise!!

The sad thing is, I''ve only been in NC for a year! I move around a lot, I absolutely detest staying in the same place all the time. I''m a weirdo.

Where are you going on your cruise?
 
You sound like me with not liking to stay in one place for a long time. The only reason I am still here is b/c of the unlikely chance that I''d find a job somewhere else right now... One day I WILL be moving out of here!

We''re leaving from NYC... we''re visiting Nassau Bahamas, Grand Turk & Caicos Islands and Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. It''s 9 days too! And a proposal will be happening...

Yaaaaaaaaay! BF and I keep talking about taking a cruise, but I don''t know if I''d get enough time to wander around different places. I do like to wander. But being on the water all the time sounds like a dream.

I LOVE cruises! It''s so weird but awesome at the same time when it''s night time and you look out and see nothing but blackness. It''s so cool! And also during the day, when you can just see nothing but water and sky for miles and miles...

The downside is that you really don''t get all that long to explore the ports. I mean usually it''s about 8 hours at each but still, it''s just not enough time to truly "experience" it. But it''s fun nonetheless!
 
That would be awesome! I love being on the water and not seeing anything else.
 
Yeah, it''s beautiful!

So what time does your BF get off work? Hope you''re not alone for too much longer...
 
Ummm, I have no clue when he gets off work, lol.

So, I just found out my coworkers have a regular Friday happy hour get together. Is it weird to try to wrangle an invitation? I want to start hanging out with people from the office, but I think when this thing started I was doing regular Friday manis and had to book it out of the office. Maybe I''ll just hint that I''m bored and ask what there is going on on Friday nights. Lame, I know, but oh well....

Nah, it''s not weird. Maybe even just ask if you could come along. I''m sure they''d have no problem having you join them!

I''m such a loser. Seriously. I''m sitting here feeling sorry for myself that I don''t really have friends and seeing pictures of people I *know* have been here less time than I have doing all sorts of fun stuff. That''s it. I''m officially putting myself out there for anything. And maybe hosting something soon. I have a house for a reason, right?

I need to stop feeling sorry for myself. I''ve been avoiding doing things because....I don''t know why. Because it''s easier to be miserable and blame everything on this town than it is to get out there. So I''ll get out there. Why the heck not????
 
Oh lady, I am right there with you! I have such a hard time making friends b/c I don't put myself out there. I have no reason not to... I'd make an awesome friend... I'm random... and weird... and probably don't make any sense most of the time... but still, I'd be a great friend. I have MAYBE 2 true friends. Is that sad? haha.

But you're right, why the heck not. We SHOULD put ourselves out there! Time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and make friends. I'm sure you'd make an awesome friend too!

Oh and you have a house? Then heck yes! Host something! A perfect way to make new friends and build better friendships with people you already know!

ETA* And by the way, you are NOT a loser! B/c if you are, then that makes me a loser too... heh.
