Went out for lunch, whoohoo!

Hometown Buffet is having a soup and salad deal for 4.99.  Dessert is 50 cents extra.  So we went and had soup and salad.  I told Jerry if we were going to go have soup and salad, we had to wait til Friday so I could have clam chowder.  Theirs cannot be beat, it’s sooo good.  So for 11 dollars, we had a really nice, yummy lunch.  They also have hamburgers on the soup bar, so I had that as well.  Mmmm, good.  I miss going out.  I miss a lot of things, especially this time of the  year.  Jerry has an oil deal that’s SUPPOSED to close Monday or Tuesday, so we’re crossing our fingers on that one.  I have a little more hope for this deal, because it’s not just paper w/ an amount on it… they’re actually putting oil into land tankers. 

Well, I could have gone to pick up the Barbie house yesterday, but the email she sent off at 2:45 wasn’t received by me until almost 7, and by that time, well, it would have been too late anyway, but I was going off to la la land.  I woke up at 12 or so, didn’t get back to sleep til 6… oh, Alex was CRYING, would not be consoled, until, of COURSE, I put her on the breast.  She’d just had a 3 and a half ounce bottle of breast milk that she couldn’t even finish she was so full… that MIGHT have been what started her crying in the first place.  Jerry gave her some tylenol and gas medicine, and she still wouldn’t calm down.  So I finally took her and she actually ate.  Surprised me, I thought she’d be too full still to eat.  I just was having a very hard time sleeping with her on me.  My back aches like… oh, it just hurts.  I’m hating it.  I want a back rub, however, the timing has to be right, because that inevitably leads to sex.  Jerry really ought to give me more of them, it puts me in the right mood/frame of mind.  But according to him, I’ve told him no too many times, and he’s no longer willing to even try.  I almost have to beg for back rubs.  I’m really going to have to get him to reconisder his position on that, I’m starting to feel as though he’s punishing me for past deeds.  He sometimes does hold a grudge where his wives are concerned, I noticed that in the way he talked about Jane sometimes… things like he didn’t bring her flowers anymore because she reacted badly to them once.  I think she wouldn’t forgive him for something he’d done, which is why he bought the flowers.  Most of the time, I don’t notice or care… I mean, he doesn’t buy me jewelry of any sort any more, which quite frankly, I don’t typically care about, but he doesn’t buy it for me because according to him, I’m not appreciative enough of it.  My response is "Whatever."  I wish he’d buy me earrings… and cheap, hypo allergenic earrings would be fine.  Of course, not now.  But he won’t even buy me those.  I’m kind of torn on whether or not it even matters.  Better not to dwell on it.  It’s just one of those things… he USED to do, now he holds it against me and won’t do it.  I guess that’s it more than anything.  But… then, this is a man who lets me sleep til 11 without guilting me for it.  This is a man who sticks with me, and doesn’t look to other women even when he’s frustrated by the sex (or lack thereof) situation. 

I’ve done it again… gone off and gotten distracted, lost of my entire train of thought, and feel like wrapping up as a result.  Jerry’s gone off to Wal mart to get money that Rick sent, plus try to cash a 5 dollar check that I got for answering a survey thing on Burger King’s soda… I only spent 8 dollars on the original meal, so it’s like it only cost me 3 dollars!  Whoo.

The woman with the Barbie house hasn’t emailed me yet, that I can find… guess I will email her.
