Yeah, So, Um . . .

::Sighs::  I don’t know what to write.  What I wanna talk about, I can’t until after things are settled, and I don’t know when that’s gonna be.

For the record, no, it’s nothing bad between me and Drew.  He and I are fine.    Speaking of people being suspicious we might not be, though, I told him on Friday night about the whole thing with Lexi mentioned in my previous entry.  (Or maybe two entries ago.)  Including, of course, her whole line about, "What, did Drew dump you again?"

It seriously just galls me that she had the nerve to say something like that.  So, what, the fact that I’m in a relationship with someone means that that someone is going to be able to control my moods?  I mean, yes, when he’s hurt, or angry, or something, my mood tends to reflect that.  If he’s angry, I’m sympathetic.  If he’s hurt, I’m worried.  If he’s happy, I’m happy for him.  But I’m also more than capable of putting those feelings aside and focusing on the person in front of me, when it’s someone other than Drew.  That’s not to say that someone else wouldn’t know about or hear about the fact that I’m feeling whatever way because of Drew’s feelings, but I’ve also learned to seperate it enough that I’m not gonna take any negative feelings out on someone else because of how I feel thanks to Drew.  (If that made any sense whatsoever.)

Not much happened this week, other than the thing I can’t mention yet.  Melanie and I hung out Tuesday to search out Bed, Bath, and Beyond because she told me they had sets of shower curtains and hooks for twenty bucks, and her mom offered me a five dollar off coupon.    We went to the one in Matawan first, but none were there.  So then we went to go eat and then to Target and the Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Middletown, where they did have not only the shower curtain set, but a Christmas bath rug!  Happiness!  So, I got both of them.    I’ve actually yet to put up the shower curtain, but I will.  I still need to fix the lights in the kitchen and find somewhere to put up the blue string I got.  Maybe those will end up in the bathroom, I don’t know.

On a definite upside, Drew’s been talking to this furniture place next door, seeing if he can work for them, because he wants to get out of Domino’s.  Well, he started there yesterday.  Went in for training and learning the ropes and all that.  I hope this is something that’ll make him happier.  Cuz in all honesty, if he wants to leave Domino’s, I fully support him on it.  All I ask is that he does exactly what he did do–have something else lined up.  And he hasn’t left Domino’s yet.  He’s gonna do both for awhile, (the furniture place part-time,) while he gets money saved.  As soon as he has some-odd amount saved, (about a year’s worth of rent,) he’s gonna quit Domino’s and go there full time.

I don’t think it’s a bad job, really.  As far as I understand, he’ll be selling office furniture to not only civilians, but to larger companies, too.  And when he makes sales like that, he gets a comission.  And it’s usually ten percent.  So, he makes a $200,000 sale . . .

I’m hopeful that this works out for him and that he can make the kind of comissions that he’s talking about.  I want him to be in a job where he’s happy.  I want us to be able to not live paycheck to paycheck.  I want us to be able to have a good amount of money stashed away for the future.

Thursday was nice, too.  I hung out with Lindsay.  We were supposed to go ice skating at this outdoor rink up by the Menlo Park mall, but decided against it because of how cold and windy it was.  So we went for food at IHOP and then came back and watched a movie.  We also exchanged Christmas gifts.  I got her this really neat looking ballerina ornament, and she gave me a cat book and (this one’s for Merry and Pippin,) this box thing that’s like a combination scratching post and cat lounger.  Merry and Pippin love it.  When one gets up, the other takes it over.  Of course, when it’s Merry in the box, Pippin’s usually on ‘the big bed,’ (Drew’s.)

I love how he is with the two of them.

I can’t wait until Christmas!  Twelve more days!
