Happy Friday

Boy am I glad it’s Friday.  But it sure is going by slow.  Work has been slow for the most part.  Well not that there isn’t work for me to do… there’s ALWAYS work for me to do.  BUT it’s Friday and I don’t feel like doing a damn thing!!!  So I’ve been slacking off like no other today.  Only doing certain tasks that HAVE to be done like answering the phone.  Thankfully my phone has been pretty quiet for the most part.  =)

So it’s been awhile since I’ve written.  Last time I wrote I was still back home in Nebraska doing some wedding planning.  Since I have been back in California, not much else has been done wedding-wise.  I just know this whole ordeal is going to end up being like every other event in my life.  I’m going to end up procrastinating until I can’t procrastinate any longer, and then have to bust my ass to get everything the way that I want.  I’m at the point right now where I just wish it was over and done with.  I don’t want to plan anymore.  I just want everything to be done exactly the way that I’m picturing it in my head.  Wishful thinking I guess.

(Off the subject:  For the most part it is pretty quiet here in my office building, and now all the damn sudden everyone decided to start talking all at once!!! WTF!!!  SO ANNOYING!)

Not too much has happened since I’ve been back in California.  Jacob was pretty happy to seem me when I got back in on the 4th.  He brought me a rose to the airport.  Poor guy… I wasn’t expecting it at all, and he had gotten a ride from his cousin’s girlfriend.  So when he gave me the rose, she was standing right there, and as sweet as the gesture was, I completely reacted in the wrong way.  I guess I’m not one to be surprised with stuff like that in front of other people.  So I kind of blew him off about the rose.  I felt really bad about it afterwards though.  I think I would have totally reacted differently if it would have just been Jacob and me alone.

When we got back to the apartment, he totally had the whole seduction thing going on.  It was so sweet.  And I reacted much better when it was just the two of us.  I walked in the bedroom and he had candles lit all around the bed, and then he had rose peddles everywhere.  It was beautiful.  He really did try.  Too bad he’s not like that all the time.

For the most part we get along, and have been getting along.  But when we start fighting it’s like World War 3 in our house.  Right now our main fight is about sex.  I get mad at him because ALL he thinks about is sex.  Nothing else, or so it seems to me anyway.  It’s always… "So are we gonna get it on later?"  "I want you so bad."  "Will you go down on me?"  "I want head."  And so on, and so on.  It’s like it’s the ONLY thing he fucking thinks about.  He says that Idon’t give him enough lovings.  But I’m sitting here thinking that SEX does NOT equal LOVE!  Granted sex is always an added bonus.. especially when it is good (which for the most part ours usually is), but it’s not what the relationship should be base on.  And that what Jacob does.  If he’s not getting laid every day or every other day, it’s the end of the world to him.  And the fight is on!

To me… there are so many more ways to show somebody that you love them other than just having sex.  And I keep telling Jacob that if he would just lay off, and quit pressuring me all the damn time, that I would be more likely to be in the mood and want to be with him.  Like right now… I’m totally in a frame of mind that could be sexual later on… but I know that when we get together after I get off of work, something is going to be said by one of us, and it will end up being another fight.  Oh well… we’ll work past it just like we always do.  We are really considering going to a relationship counseler.  We should anyway since we are getting married.  Guess we’ll see.  On to the next topic of conversation.

Last week was my company Christmas party.  So much FUN!!!  It was at the Sherton Inn & Suites.  They had super yummy food, a dj, and casino night with Blackjack tables, Roulette, Craps, and Pai Gow Poker.  We got a room that night even though the hotel is only like 15 minutes from our place.  Better safe than sorry.  When we got there, my friend Dendra who had set up the party was already wasted beyond recognition.  It was bad… but entertaining. 

We had some food, and sat and talked with others that work for my company and then gambled a little bit.  Then we went up to our room to drink a little bit since the drinks at the party were so expensive.  When we came back down, we gambled some more.  I wasn’t really losing, but I wasn’t winning either.  Well then they announced that there was only an hour left to gamble, so I started just throwing out $500 chips (to bad they weren’t real money) on each hand.  When I started doing that, I started winning.  I would either win the hand or hit Blackjack.  So my winnings started adding up rapidly.  By the end of the night, I cashed in my chips for raffle tickets (200 chips = 1 raffle ticket).  Jacob and I ended up with 3 long strips of tickets between the two of us.

So the gambling ended, and everyone threw their tickets into a raffle for different prizes.  They called the first number and gave away the first prize.  The called the second number and I won!!!  A gift basket with Bailey’s Irish Creme and coffee with some cups and chocoloate.  Woo hoo… Christmas present for Jacob’s mom!  LOL  They calles some more numbers… and then I won AGAIN!!!  A gift box with Bacardi Limon.  Cool cool.  Some more numbers are called, and we won again!!!  So Jacob went by this time.  A gift basket with wine and some gourmet cheese and other stuff like that.  Nice.  Well then it got down to the last drawing… the GRAND PRIZE!!!  I’m already feeling bad because we had won so much (way more than anybody else)… So they hold up THIS as the GRAND PRIZE…

EVERYBODY wanted it!!!  EXCEPT ME!!!  LMAO  I mean I DID want it, but after winning 3 other times, all I could think was please do not call one of our numbers!!!  LOL  Well what do you know… WE WON!!!  I made Jacob go up and get it.  LOL  So now we have one of those cool iPods… a BLACK one.  It’s really nice.  I use it for the most part because Jacob already had an mp3 player that he just HAD to have.  So I have been a downloading maniac these past few days.  LOL  But it is really nice to have one!!!  It’s probably not something that we would have ever bought for ourselves considering that they are currently priced at about $300.  That’s $300 that can go to bills or the wedding.  So that is our Christmas present for the year.  =)  I’m a happy camper!

Jacob doesn’t want to tell his sister t

hat we got it though because she wants one so bad.  So we are going to get an iPod Shuffle for her for Christmas.  That should shut her up.  LOL  Other than that… we aren’t really doing the Christmas present thing this year.  OMG… I just remembered that tomorrow is Jacob’s birthday!!!  LMAO  I knew it was coming up… even knew that it was this weekend.  It just dawned on me though that this weekend is here!  LOL  I suppose that means I have to be nice to him all day tomorrow.  I think I can do it.  LOL

Well he is on his way here right now.  We are beyond broke.  It’s not even funny how broke we are.  We are pretty much scraping the bottem of the barrel to get buy.  But we’ll make it I’m sure.  I’m going to make him bug the hell out of his brother about the $50 that he owes us.  Regardless though… I’m hungry and I know that he’s hungry.  So we are going to eat somewhere.  Don’t know where, don’t care where.  Just ask long as my stomach gets full.  I didn’t eat anything today.  SHAME ON ME!

With that being said… I better wrap this up before I write too much more, and/or I delete the entry by accident.  LOL  So hope all is well with all out there in OD land.  I swear I’m gonna try to write more often!!!  =)

Laters!

P.S.  I’m sorry that I’m just a bad noter-backer.  I read all my notes that I get… not that there are many.  But if you do note me, just know that I love the notes and I’m sorry that I’m such a slacker!!!  I’ll try to be better!!!  Really I will!!!  =)
