Beginning!

Been wanting to do this for a long time. So, the same day I finally chose a Christmas Break reading (Sometimes a Great Notion- Ken Kesey) and ventured to the grocery store, I did! Pretty excited, although indecisive as to who all I am going to officially let in here.

Doesn't really feel like Monday, probably because my semester is officially over. This weekend: Friday morning I had my final and tried to come home and sleep afterwords but after a night of caffeine and reinforcements, my body wouldn't let me. I had to go to work that night, made 45 bucks, came home and finally passed out. Saturday morning I met mother and sister at Papasito's (they were in town for Jr's) and went to work at 3. After work, went out with my waitress friends to Gingerman (Pyramid Apricot and shots of crown= exactly what I needed) and stopped by T's Christmas party. Sunday I spent the day with mother at LJ's meet and spent the night at D's fantastic new condo, where we browsed the neighborhood, made dinner and drank wine.

Had an interesting conversation outside Gingerman with L about men. For those who know me know I haven't had much to do with them for awhile now, but after a short affair that lasted a couple weeks, I have been completely obsessed with trying to figure out how couples communicate. The general concensus seems to be that men have an extremely hard time talking about their feelings when it comes to the opposite sex. People usually meet through an instant sexual attraction, hook-up, hang out and then later down the road comes the real conversation. Women are all too often intimitated to ask questions like "what are we," "where is this going," and "are we exclusive" because they fear they are being too pushy. I don't like this. I thought communication was the most important part of a relationship...and no text messages do not count in my book. L and I decided we want to wait for a man who is willing to work for us because settling for love just isn't fair. It's a two-way street, right?

Enough of that...

Have work tonight at 6-- will be incredibly slow since there is supposed to be a freeze tonight. If you think saying my heat is on 88 is an exaggeration, you are mistaken. I can't get enough warmth right now. Mother took Elvis (the man in my life is a 3 lb. poorly-trained yorkiepoo) since I will be working a lot until the girls arrive Wednesday. He will be happier there, but it sure is quiet here.

More later.
