Bliss

This past weekend was total bliss!  I wish I could have posted about it sooner, but I got a nasty virus on my computer and it was getting fix for the past 5 days.  I finally got it back today...I am sad because all my saved favorite sites are gone.  I know a weird thing to be sad about.

My weekend visiting P was better than I could have ever imagined.  It got off to a really really rocky start though.

Friday

Got to the airport 2 hours early, checked in, and found my gate.

Was enjoying my Starbucks when I realized "Gosh we should have boarded"

Found a person from United....

They said my gated had changed!!!

I could see my plan as it pulled away.

Totally sadness

They confirmed me on a flight 7 hours later and put me on a stand-by list for a flight 2 hours later

Walk what felt like a mile to the new gate in high heel boots

Stand-by flight was booked

Walked by what felt like a mile in high heel boots back to original gate

Started losing my mind, got very sad

Gave myself a blood blister from my suitcase

In line for a latte several milk crates full of gallons of milk fell and broke, spattered milk all over my back

Finally got on the plane for the rockiest ride ever

Landed, saw P, got a kiss

All was good again

Needless to say its was a long day.  But made seeing him all that much better.  Since I got there so much later we decided to got straight to his apartment and catch up a little.  Plus I really wanted to brush my teeth...lol.  We went out for dinner at Texas Road house.  It was awesome.  Felt like a normal Friday night date, nothing crazy.  The wait was long but they had the Carrier Classic on and we were able to talk.  Dinner was sooooo yummy.  I seriously think they have crack in their buns and butter!  After we just relaxed back at his place.

Saturday we got a nice lazy start.  I become this totally relaxed person with him.  We went out for breakfast near his house.  It's a place he had wanted to try because they have a big breakfast challenge type thing.  The food was really good.  The potatoes were amazing!  Next time we go there I will probably just get them. From there we headed to the winery.  The tasting was so good.  We really liked one of the whites, and he's planning on bringing some home for Christmas.  They gave us a tour which was extremely interesting.  I feel like we also learned a lot about the area.  From there we went to the post he works on.  He gave me a little tour and we did some shopping.  We decided that going to the grocery store together to get stuff to make for dinner was our favorite part of the whole weekend!  We made a super yummy dinner together and relaxed at home.

I loved that the weekend was fill with low key normal couple stuff.  I feel like we both appreciate everyday such so much since we don't get to to everyday.  The littlest things become so much more special.  Sunday was time to head home again.  Staying good-bye is the worst.  I think no matter how much time we had together it's still really hard.  The awesome thing is he'll be here in 9 days. 

Dreamland

I think dreams are so interesting.  I believe it's our subconscious talking to us...

I have had the wackiest dreams this week.  I think I am having some anxiety, although I feel pretty calm.  Or I could just be exhausted.

So far this week I have dreamt:

I was 6 hours late for work and was getting fired

I fell asleep at the airport waiting for my flight to see P and missed the flight

That P broke up with me, was super mean and refused to talk with me

These are all crazy things that would never happen in real life.  Thank goodness!

I got a good chunk of packing done last night.  I think I did really great at only packing for 2 days.  Usually I bring several outfit options, not this time.  One sweater for each day!  Although I may throw in an extra top or two just in case :)

Four

I wish I had more to post about this week.  I feel like the only thing going on is work.  I have been really busy there and pretty much come home and melt into my bed.  Except for tonight where I came home from work and did a house client.  Yes I need to learn to say "no I am a little busy this week".  At least it was my very favorite amazing client who is a blast to talk to and now I get to watch the best rerun marathon ever....Sex in the City!

Less than 4 days until I see P!  I am really excited but and not looking forward to my VERY VERY early wake up call.  My flight leaves at 6:20 on Friday.  The airport is about an hour away, probably less without any traffic.  I am parking my car at a valet type service.  This all basically means I am getting up at 1am-ish!  I am working the night before until 9pm so I am crossing my fingers that I can lay down and get a few minutes of sleep.  Will be well worth it once I get that first big kiss and hug :)!!

A whole bunch of nothings

I am working this afternoon/evening.  Oddly enough I am actually looking forward to being at work.

I love my mom's dogs, they were my childhood pets.  But I know never ever in 100 millions years will I ever own more than 2 dogs at one time.  I have to sleep with all of hers tonight and I am already dreading it...they (the dogs) barely sleep and are uber needy.

I showed my friend Kelly how to make Key Lime Pie last night.  I have made it at least 100 times before (OK maybe not 100 but several) and have never had an issue.  It's really the easiest pie to make.  Well I epically failed with the crust.  I think it was a butter issue.  I will have to make another for her to make up for the gross crust.

I am getting more and more excited to see P.  One of the many things I am most excited for is being able to relax.  I become so calm when I am with him.  Also there won't be any dogs or loud family members to wake us up at 6am on a Saturday.

Thankful Thursday

• In 8 days I will be with P.  I will feel happy, relaxed, and at peace.

• I am working every day until the day I leave.  I will be busy and not at home. 

• I am seeing where my friend Kelly is having her wedding (it's in August) tomorrow night and then going to the restaurant that is catering it for dinner.  Fun wedding talk ahead!

• That I recently rediscovered Victoria's Secret.  Holy cute stuff!  I am addicted!

Down Time

I rarely have two days off of work in a row, unless it time I'm taking off and then of course I have plans. I am sooooo bored today. I ran some errands and got lunch. I want to pack for my trip to see P next week, but it's too soon and I know it will lead to over packing.

I actually wish I was at work! I know this sounds weird or sad. Right now work is my happy place, much more positive then home right now.

I have plans to meet my friend Marissa tomorrow for outlet shopping and lunch. I think I am going to actually start my Christmas shopping :) I have some vague ideas for P. I don't really know who else other than P and my sister I am going to shop for this year. I don't know if my family will be doing anything for Christmas. I also don't know if I will be getting little somethings for P's family since I don't know what to expect...but that can wait until December to shop for. I know this holiday season will be up in the air and not like years past due to some unrest that's going on. The upside is P and I get to see each other a TON the next two months, actually more than we have ever spent together! WoooWhooo!

I am a total caffeine addict. I drink a pot of coffee every morning and several Diet Cokes during the day. The past two years come October I put my Diet Coke addiction to the side because of the most amazing pop ever!! Diet Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash. It is A-MAZ-ING! Tart and sweet....so good. Totally worth being caffeine free

***On a side note.... I am watching some Tori Spelling show and I can totally relate to her relationship with her mom.  Seems crazy, but it's so similar to mine with my mom.

The Countdown

I always start a serious countdown once I am 10 days from seeing P.  And today my friends is that day! 

10 days until a HUGE kiss and hug

10 days until cooking together

10 days until relaxing next to each other

10 days until a romantic winery trip

10 days until we visit a very old historic cider mill

10 days until utter happiness

{please excuse me I know I am a cheese ball}

In the mean time I am trying to search out groupon and  living social to find a deal for a boot camp.  In the past year-ish I have lost about 45lbs and have sort of hit a plateau.  I would love to kick start loosing more weight and also get more toned.  On top of all of that it would help fill some empty time and maybe help with my HIGH stress levels.  Hopefully I can find one some time this week :)
