singlegirl's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is It Just a Nickname? I got the day off work! I haven't really had a snow day since high school. How fun! Especially since I worked for 11 hours yesterday. Blah. Jeremy and I had another great weekend. I really feel like we started a new stage in our relationship. Not that we didn't have great weekends before, but somehow things are different now. He came over on Friday night and we went straight to bed. It's so nice to have him in bed with me. It's comforting to know that someone's there. On Saturday we went to Planned Parenthood and ran a bunch of other errands. We went out Saturday night with my friends, which was nice. On Sunday we went to see Cats, and then spent the rest of the day in bed watching a few episodes of the first season of 24 (so addictive). We didn't go to my parent's house because of the weather. Which I wanted him to meet my father, but it'll happen later. He got the brochure for our romantic Valentine's Day getaway in the mail today. It sounds so wonderful. We don't have the entire cabin to ourselves so hopefully not too many other couples will be there. There are trails for hiking (how romantic will that be in the snow?), a hot tub, a fireplace, and a menu for the meals we want delivered to our room. I know he's planning on taking a bath together, with candles and music. He's the most romantic person I have ever met. Let's review my Valentine's Day from last year: Ben had to work, so I went over to my friend's house with my single friends to play cards. Ben's best friend got me a rose and a card (the only one's I got that year), and I went home alone that night. That Saturday Ben and I were going to celebrate Valentine's Day - he originally got us a hotel room and researched "couples packages" from the local porn shop. Neither happened. We ended up ordering pizza, eating it in my room, and then we went out to the bars with my friends. He got drunk and passed out as soon as we got home. I later found out (well not definitely, but I suspect) that he got the hotel and the sex package because he felt guilty about cheating on me when I was in Cancun. Funny thing, he used the hotel room as a Christmas present for his new girlfriend. Loser. I saw him this weekend on Saturday night at the bar. I walked by him on my way to the bathroom and said hi. When I came back he called me over to him and gave me a big hug. I asked him lots of questions (to make conversation and to be polite), and not surprisingly he didn't ask me one thing about myself. He got a huge tattoo on his back (the Wican symbol) and a sign of a Goddess (or something) on his shoulder. Which sucks, because if I get one now it'll look like I'm trying to be like him. Anyway, blah. I'm just glad I got out of that relationship. His girlfriend gave me a huge hug which I didn't like. I was never friends with her before they started dating (I don't even know her really), and I certainly don't want to be friends with her now. It makes me sick to think of the things (intimate, personal things that Ben knows) she might know about me. It's just not a comfortable situation. Also, Jeremy got a phone call from his ex on Saturday. I know they still talk, and I'm fine with it, but I'm not sure that it's 100% appropriate. Are they still going to talk once we get married? Anyway, it doesn't usually bother me, but on Saturday I heard him say, "Ok Bud. I'll call you later." Bud is his nickname for me. He does not need to call his ex that too. Ben and I had that problem as well. I found out that after 2 years of calling me "butterfly," that was also his nickname for his ex. Whatever. It's just makes me mad. I'm going to start yet another diet again. What should I do? There are so many to choose from. I get bored with low fat, low carbs is expensive, and I hate counting shit, so Weight Watchers is out. I've heard a lot about the South Beach diet, but I don't want to buy the book and learn about it�too difficult. I just wish I could be like one of those girls who "forgets to eat." That would be the best diet. I guess I'm just going to do a mix of low carbs and low fat and hope for the best. Plus I still have my weight loss drugs, which really work. Okay, I'm out. 4:38 p.m. - January 27, 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
