And Then…
Christmas was good. I got enough to pay my car insurance plus some. I got clothes and money and some DVDs. The normal. Today (in 2.5 hours) I leave for Philadelphia. I’m way excited. I’m going to take millions of pictures for everyone. Of the game, of the city, of EVERYTHING. It’s going to be great. After the game tomorrow we are going to College Park, MD and staying in this nice hotel for New Years Eve. I can’t wait. We have a lot of liquor and we are both so excited. I’ll post next weekend after I get back and settled back in most likely!
And Then He Said…
I Love You.
Yes, he did. I think that I’m still in shock. It happened so fast and it was so unexpected. We were getting ready to go to sleep, and he had gone downstairs to get some water. He told me to get his phone and set his alarm so he could get up for work in the morning. I took his phone and saw he had a missed call so I looked at it. Then I saw the rest of the list, and some were calls from his ex girlfriend that he answered. And he never answers calls from her. So when he came back upstairs, I said to him “Why were you talking to her?” And I just started crying. (Hey, it’s that time of the month!) He got a little mad and went outside to smoke a cigarette then came back up and said “You know you have nothing to worry about. I trust you, and I hope you trust me. I didn’t talk to her about anything. It was her friend that called from her phone. If you don’t trust me, then you can leave now, I understand. I love you though. I love you so much.”
I just sort of looked at him for a minute. He’s not the type to say those words unless he means them. And I know that for a fact. I started crying a little harder, and he held me. I told him that I did trust him. And I told him that I loved him too. I guess I still can’t believe it. Maybe it’s because he’s only the second guy to ever say that to me. I’m really happy though. Really.
Tonight I’m going to my aunts house for a Christmas party with my mom and Zach and Mike is coming along. I hope it goes well.
I also wrote him a letter telling him a lot of private stuff about me. I hope he really takes it seriously. I really do love him. There’s just something different about him, and I like it a lot.

I Almost Forgot
Yeah, almost. My last New Year’s resolution is to NOT dye my hair for the ENTIRE year. My hair is so burnt out from being dyed. I’ve been dying/highlighting since I’ve been in 8th grade (13 years old) That’s 7 years of torture to my poor undeserving hair. So I am restricting myself. There is one catch though. Right now it’s blond and my natural color is brown. Eventually it will start growing back in and my roots are going to look really bad, so I may dye it back to my natural color, but I’m going to try REALLY hard not to. My hair doesn’t grow that fast though so I guess we will see. I could just get highlights (would be less damaging than dying my whole head) once it starts really showing badly. That would probably be a better idea. Yes, I’ll do that.
Well today should be fun. I work until 5pm (I think, unless Jamie lets me off early *crosses fingers*) then I’m going to go to the mall and Target for some last minute Christmas shopping. I know I’m going to have to deal with the crowds and such, but oh well. I’ll live. I only need to get a few things anyway. I hope everyone has a great day!
New Years Resolutions & More
So I have decided to make some New Years resolutions and actually keep them this year because I will have support. In the past, no one has ever wanted to support me in my decisions, but with Mike, I know he will. So here is my list of resolutions…
- No more red meat. It isn’t that good for you and I need to stop eating so much of it. I’ll still eat fish and chicken (but I’m going to try to cut back on the chicken too) At the first of the year, I am going on an all salad diet (with fat free dressing) for 2 weeks to see if it helps me any.
- No more soda, chocolate, or coffee. Too much sugar and I need to stop with all the sugar. It’s why my face breaks out a lot and it’s also why I get headaches.
- I get paid on a weekly basis and most of that money goes to my car payment and insurance payment. Until March of 07, I won’t have another insurance payment so with that extra money I’m going to pay off my credit cards.
- After my credit cards are paid off, I’m going to start saving at least $150.00 a month. Hopefully I can save more, but I’m not sure how the whole insurance thing will play out yet.
- I am going to finish my associates degree by June 2007 and start at the University of Phoenix for my bachleors. Out of all the goals listed so far, I want this one to be done the most.
- I will not fight with Mike over stupid things like I have in the past. I will refuse to.
That last one leads me into my next thought…I think that Mike might be…well. I’m not going to say “the one” but he’s close. I know this because of many reasons, but I realized it last night. I didn’t stay the night at his house last night because I told myself I wanted to get some sleep and when I stay there, I’m always up until 2 or so. So I leave his house around 11 and get home and lay in bed and realize, I’m not sleeping. I toss and turn all night, getting less sleep than I would if I would have stayed with him. When I’m with him sleeping, I always sleep so well. I don’t know if it’s because of his presence or his bed, but I’m guessing the former. I know that most girls say the same thing everytime they get into a new relationship (I’m guilty of it too) “I like this guy more than the last, he’s way better.” But in my case, I really really mean it. I like Mike more than anyone I’ve ever dated. We are 80% polar opposites but we click so well, it’s unimaginable. There is so much chemistry it’s unthinkable. I like him more than anything on this Earth (besides air of course) and I think (hope) that this relationship will go on for a REALLY long time….if you get my drift.
Oh yeah….I won the Philly Eagles vs. Atl Falcons tickets. Section 113 row 26 at Lincoln Financial Field on Dec. 31st at 1pm. I’m excited. When I won I almost had a heart attack. I’m of course going with Mike. I can’t wait. We are driving down Saturday and staying Saturday and Sunday night in Philadelphia. It’s going to be fun.
Tonight is Christmas wrapping time and on Thursday when I get paid I have to pick up a few last minute gifts. Boo on that, but at least it’s almost over!
It’s The Moonlight
Last night Mike and I drove to Fair Oaks to do some shopping. We didn’t really shop that much. We ate dinner at Ruby Tuesdays then started on our way home. The trip there and back was so great. It was nice there because there was a beautiful sunset…pink, blue, purple, orange, red…all different colors. Sometimes taking pictures just doesn’t justify it, so I didn’t take any. Then on the way back, there were so many stars in the sky. I haven’t seen the sky that clear in ages. It was so pretty. It’s like that Incubus song “The sky resembled a back lit canopy with holes punched in it”. I loved every minute of it. He drove on the way back and I just layed on him with my moonroof open, staring at the stars and listening to Lifehouse. It was so perfect. It really couldn’t have been better. I ended up staying the night with him last night even though I had to work this morning. Work can really suck sometimes, but today it was great because I got off 2 hours early! Sweet. As for Christmas, I’m still not done shopping. I need to get Jamie a giftcard and I still need to finish Mike and my brother. Blah…and I only have 6 days now! That sucks. I’ll finish in time though. Giftcards are easy and my brother is easy to buy for. And I know what I’m going to get Mike, I just have to get it accomplished. Well, that’s all for now…I’m going to eat dinner then head over to Mike’s to watch the game. I’ll have 3 nights this week alone so I can shop and wrap gifts and finish Christmas cards then!
Madness Inside Me
This week has been the week from hell, and it’s only Tuesday. Yesterday I worked a full 12 hour shift and that was so tiring. I came home, showed Dad the pictures from the game then went to sleep…at 10PM! Today I woke up, still felt sleepy, went to work and it was so busy that I had to work an hour of overtime. Thank God I get off at 3pm tomorrow. I can finally get my car cleaned and hopefully my bedroom as well. This is one of the reasons why I hate the holidays. Everything is always so hectic and it’s already driving me crazy. I still have 4 more presents to buy (a kitchen radio for mom, and something for Jamie, Mike, and Zach). I don’t know where I’ll be getting the money for any of that stuff. I wish my raise was already in effect. That would be nice. This past Saturday I had tech II training and I finished that, but I still have to take my state test which won’t be done until after the holidays. Boo. Sunday Mike and I went to the Redskins VS. Eagles game. We had GREAT seats (Thank you Mike!) and I took a few pictures…
I have a lot more pictures, but I don’t want to post them all. I’ll eventually upload them to Flickr. I am so glad the Eagles won (21-19). It just made the day that much better. Oh, and the fact that no one cards for beer. That was rather nice too 
Hmm…well, that’s about all that’s happened so far. This Friday I’m going to the Wizards Vs. Heat game at the Verizon center and hopefully on New Years Eve I’ll be in Philly watching the Eagles BEAT the Falcons, but we’ll see. Wish me luck on my bidding for those tickets!
Go Bold – TT #2
Well, it’s that time again. Let me start off with life then I’ll do the TT.
I decided to go bold and dye my hair blonde. Yes, it’s extrememly blonde. I’ll have pictures up soon, just didn’t really feel like taking any tonight. Thank God for Tonya and her wonderful ability to do highlights in a short amount of time. There is one thing (well, two sort of) that I hate about winter…the wind and how dry is makes my skin and how chapped it makes my lips. My skin is naturally oily but it seems like if I use lotion to cure the wind dryness, it makes me break out. Any suggestions? Stupid weather. I was driving home from seeing Michael tonight and snow was covering the ground. The first dusting of the season. Hopefully it snows more soon. I love watching it, playing in it, and just enjoying it. It feels clean to me. I also love winter fashion. I think clothes are so cute, especially the scarves and gloves. I love winter just for those two reasons alone.
So Christmas is just 3 weeks aways and I’m still not done shopping. I haven’t wrapped any gifts and I haven’t gotten anything for Zach or Michael yet. Hopefully I can think of something! If not I don’t know what I’ll do. Zach owes me money for buying Mom and Dad’s Christmas gifts. Hopefully he pays up. I only asked for 50 dollars, when I spent well over 200. That’s nothing. He should fork it up NOW.
For other news…there really isn’t any. Everyone loved the hair (except Mike, he said it looked fake *how I love brutally honest boyfriends*), work is the same, training on Saturday morning (Whoopie!), and that’s about it. Oh, I love my exciting life.

Bringin Sexy Back
Today was rather uneventful. I realized that I have 3 overdue movies and I’m going to be charged a fine. Whoopie. I worked from 9 to 5 (boring!) and did most of Michael’s homework for history when I got home. I have yet to finish mine. Finally got the Verizon bill straightened out. I owe some money on it (well, $150.00 worth) so I am going to pay that soon. I also took back the two pairs of DKNY glasses I purchased because I deemed it unecessary to have two pairs of designer glasses that I’ll only wear for reading. That was a +$370 in my checking account. Thank you Lens Crafters
I was rather disappointed at House MD tonight…a repeat from season 1? Come on now. Give me something new. Or newer at least.
Philadelphia Eagles won last night. That made my week. Well, until Sunday when they play the Redskins. I’m not making any bets on that game. I’m sure it will be a close one. I wanted to go to that game so bad, but I refuse to sit in a section where I need binoculars to see the players, so therefore, I’m not going. That’s my one wish…to go to a Philly game and sit in section 100. Not like that will ever happen.
Anyone want to buy me a new keyboard and mouse? Wireless sucks. Don’t buy into the cool “I can work 50 feet away from the computer” bull crap. It doesn’t work…not even 1 foot away. Boooo on wireless technology…except BlueTooth. Bluetooth is good. That’s all for this evening.
