Haven't written in a while. Figured I'd give a quick update, though not much has changed. Still working in Boston at my miserable job 6 days a week. Every day I'm coming closer and closer to quitting. My goal is to stick it out until the beginning of March, which is when I get my bonus. I dont know if I'll make it, but I'm going to try. This ( Read more... )

I came home from work yesterday and Ted came to greet me at the door. He looked really good. I noticed he was all nice and clean and shaven, wearing his good jeans and a white button down shirt untucked (very handsome). We went inside, put my stuff down, and I smelled something funny. We walked into our bedroom and what a neat surprise! The ( Read more... )

I was not happy yesterday, so when I came home from work and Ted saw this, he carried me over to the bed, sat me down, and said, "You stay here, I'll go get you a glass of wine, I'll do your toes, and we'll have dinner." It was really sweet and super cute watching him concentrating all hard with his tongue sticking half out trying to paint my toes ( Read more... )

Ted and I had an incredibly romantic evening last night. I'm housesitting at my dad's for the weekend, so he picked me up from the train station in East Boston after work and we headed over there. He surprised me with chocolate covered strawberries, cool whip, and bubble bath. My dad has a huge tub with jets, but we didn't use the jets because ( Read more... )

It's here... the cold. Cold is the number 2 thing that makes me absolutely miserable. And it's back. I knew it would be, and it is. This morning was the first day of many worse to come. Last week I felt silly wearing my big winter coat... today it's not enough. ::sigh ( Read more... )

I knew my closest aunt, Auntie Darleen had cancer again, but I didn't realize she only has about a year to live. She's the one I thank for my great love of food, and the one that's always pushed me regarding education. She had me looking through books on colleges when I was a little girl. She's really been the only one that encouraged me and ( Read more... )

Some startling news, much laughter and crying. It's funny how such a typically wonderful thing can be so... wrong. Hehe. It's really too bad. We'll see though.

Scared.

Ted and I are moved in! The room looks so good and it's not even completely finished yet. We need to bring some more of his stuff in. It looks so relaxing with the soft colors and fabrics. Ted went out into the woods last night and found a couple of branches to hang our mint-colored faux-suede curtains from. Looks very neat and creative. I ( Read more... )

Well, Mr. Edmund Marston did me the favor of getting my car inspected while I was at work. Very nice of him. Unfortunately when the garage said it needed some work, he gave the go ahead. So I ended up paying $90 more than I would have if I bought the parts myself and had my brother do it. Cest la vie, I am destined to be broke forever. That ( Read more... )
