And so it continues
Back to the updatingness of it all….apparently my ablity to work in real time (post semi frequently) is something of the past.
So, I am left with trying to mash everything together and remember highlights worth typing out….well actually just remembering (sometimes my gnatsque memory is NOT a good thing)
Since I have not posted in quite some time I will start with my birthday which was way back in December 🙂
BIRTHDAY
-work people decorated my desk n stuff….got a cake, gifts and the whole shabang (they are thoughtful like that)
– family stuff…had za and my brother (along with gf and kid) came over
– the GF made me this kajanga (read: HUGE) Dr. Seuss cake (I adore adore Dr. Seuss 🙂
– Brother got me some mind game things, weights etc he made me this super Dr. Seuss card…it was great!
– Parents got me a bozu ball (also for working out which would end up getting returned), a dress and tights and jewlery…. 🙂
– Babado…came and picked me up…we went out for dinner at Canon Creek…where they have this oh so lovely chocolate brownie that I like a bunch 🙂 He also got me a bozu ball! And did not keep the receipt (hence why I had to return my mum’s) He would end up driving me to return it which was super of him 🙂
-spoke with Hunnybunny as she was still in korea at that time….she is travelling a bunch now. Also, spoke with soulmate who is doing well in Arazona
ANNIVERSARY, CHRISTMAS, NEW YEARS
– Dec 23 was our offical 6month anniversary….I got him a watch. We ended up driving to the falls and had dinner…the night before so I brought it with me as I figured by 12 I would still be with him and could give it to him then. I hide it in a sweater I brought. At 12 we were on the highway in the middle of a snowstorm coming home. I asked him to pull over he said no : (it’s dangerous etc etc)
– So when we got to my house I pulled it out and gave it to him….he then clued in why I asked him to stop at 12. He would ended up exchanging the watch…it was too big for his wrist. We went together and picked one out together. I actually like this one better on him then the one I picked first….*shrugs* 🙂
-on the 23 we ended up going to a friend of his house for a christmas party thing. Small gathering…they were work people but not people in our office. These are people he knows through work or whatnot…so it was good to go. It was good…was still snowing when we had to go there though : Fricken snow hehe. Anyways we ate..drank some and they played guitar and sang…it was goodness.
– around this time brother and I were trying to put together my mum’s santa gift. Babado would be my hero hehe….he went to one of his customers (which like an hour drive) to go get a coffee machine….he is so fantastic…i love him yup I do 🙂 I brought the gift over to my brothers house so he could wrap it
-Christmas eve was done at my house and the gf and kid (who is oober cute) came over with J. We did our traditional dinner, praying etc etc.
– Christmas…woke up to the lovely big slowly falling snowflakes…adored it!! the snow on christmas day…is aokay in my books …the stuff before and after is not necessary…not in the amounts we have been getting anyways hehe
– Christmas was great! J’s clan came over around 11ish…I passed out all the gifts and we did the opening thing
– got too much to mention….
– wouldnot see Babado on Christmas….but did on boxing day…my parents went up north so we spent a bunch of time together then….I got him a digital camera (cause his broke) and he got me a whole bunch og new workout stuff along with new runners and everything. I tried everything on for him and it fit! He did goodness!!! 🙂
– New Years…i finally met his best friend, his wife and their lil boy. Out of everyone I have met they gave me the best first impression…I liked them! Def good people… that I know care about Babado…which I makes me happy.
– I was a tad sick ….but it was okay…we had za watched iron man and talked. It was a good new years…quite but really good.
– called and wished my parents a happy new years.
– I had 2 weeks off which is a first since I started working….my holiday started around the 19th and did not go back until the 5th.
WORK
– I got what I wanted in terms of a raise…and more then I expected for a bonus. That was a lovely christmas gift. I am now in charge of just National Accounts…
– I have been slightly frustrated with work lately….my supervisor tends to be very unorganized and moody…it drives me up the wall. She handed over a bunch of her accounts to me (she left to go on vacation this upcoming week) And she did not do up the new files does not have all the paper work in order….Like when I had to pass things over to the other person taking over my old accounts I had most things in order. There were a few things that I still needed to be signed but generally it was good to go. I made sure it was. I took a whole day going through and tying up loose ends…my supervisor apparently did not think that was important enough for her to do- bugs me.
– She also failed to included me on a Nationals meeting…my boss came to me after talking about it…and I was NOT impressed. Especially since my supervisor rushed me last min to put together a spreadsheet for this meeting. She came over later, since my boss even said I should have been there, to say that she did not know it was going to be that indepth and I will def be in the next meeting.
– um its a National meeting I should have been included no matter what….especially since they came up with "things" for me to do and track during this meeting…once agian- bugs me
– Anyways enough complainning…generally the company has bent over backwards to ensure I am happy….and giving me what I want in terms of money. I have an 8 month plan to figure out what I wnat to do. I will have been with this company for three years (which was my goal) so if I want to move on…I will etc etc.
BABADO
– We went to our first movie! He is not a big movie person and neither am I really. Went with his best friend and wife. It was Marley and Me….WHICH was not a great pick since the wife, best friend and I ended up in tears! Babado did a sniffle…but no tears. I thought it would have been funny..this is what I get for just going along with things…as I do not watch much tv I have nothing to base it on. I learned after it was based on a book and it is not recommend as a family movie…for reasons I now knew (the hard way) were quite obvious!
– Random sidenote….we have had people 2 separate times try to get into his car thinking it was someone else. The first time was outside my house…the dood scared the living hell out of me and I scared him equally
hehe. He was waiting for his friend to pick him up and came over to the car stood by my window. Babado was like um and I turned then jumped and gasped loudly. I then could not help but laugh for quite some time cause I scared the kid haha
2nd time was at a gas station Babado was getting ready to get out and this guy came and opened the back door. I was like huh? And he quickly closed the door. Babado got out and made a comment…to which the guy kept walking and said sorry wrong car. Like who does that happen to??? Well other then us…and more than once? Within pretty much 1 month….weird!
– He is looking for another job still…he is pretty much done with our company…he wants to move on and up. He has also decided to start an online suppliments store thingie with a friend of his. I made him a congrats card where I put his head and his new partner (who is the one that let me go to the gym for free) on these MASSIVE muscle doods….they both got a kick out of it….it was super fun to do…hehe. Babado asked me to do "flyers" for them…which is good to go…I enjoy doing that stuff….
– another sidenote- he drooled on my hand the other day….I burst out laughing it was too funny…do not even know how that happened….but once again funny!
– we want to go on a trip…some where warm….still trying to work out those details
– oh…so he met my brother!! Which was NOT planned. My brother just decided to stop by my house one day when he was there….this was after christmas before new years. My heart was beating so fast when that door started to turn. No one…I mean noone has ever met anyone in my famiy before! Never brought anyone "home" But it went well…Babado spoke with him a bit…he conversed back….I was just trying to not have a heart attack 🙂
As my brother left…he said it was nice meeting you and if my sister has anything to do about it I am sure this will never happen again. (meaning him meeting him….as of course brother knows that I never introduced them to anyone before).
– He has yet to meet my parents and best friend….but I actually want him to. Which has never really been a very serious thought before….because like I told my mum the person you will meet is the person that I will want to marry. whhhich is a whole other thing hehehe 😛
– We have been talkinga bout living together n stuff a bit more lately….there are some "major" issues that need to be discussed and dealt with….it’s honestly just so weird to me. How much things can change in such a short period of time? It is unreal….so unreal
Anyways I am tired of typing…hehe…that is a snipet…generally things are going very very well personally. I adore my boyfriend more than words can express……just wow! Work is going….not bad not beyond super but it’s okay. Family is doing well and friends are too. Iss is going to be having her baby soon…which is something else that is sooooo flipping unreal…my friends having kids! weird! My bestest is scheduled to come home end of March….yay!
Going out for dinner on tuesday to catch up with the girls….
im out!
