Wow. It’s been almost a whole month since I’ve actually written anything on here (although, you wouldn’t agree because the last thing you can see is even older). This past month and a half has been pretty crazy for me. My best friend ended up in the hospital for my birthday and had to have surgery, which brought everyone down for the last couple weeks of July. We did manage to get out to Deer Lake a couple of times before all that though. We spent one evening canoeing and another on a peddle boat, so we definately got to enjoy that while the weather was starting to get pretty hot. Things have been getting a lot better now as August is more than half-way through. We wanted to go away for the long weekend, but work got in the way of that, so we just stayed home and enjoyed the sun.
My boyfriend’s aunt has been out visiting from Prague for the past month, and she will be catching a flight home tonight, so I went out for dinner with his family last night. It has been interesting, at least trying to listen to them all talking in Czech and trying to figure it out on my own. His mom is a translator which helps, and well, my boyfriend just couldn’t be bothered, so I guess if I wanna learn, I’ll be doing it on my own.
My man, being the awesome guy that he is, took me to the Brooks & Dunn / ZZ Top concert, which was so awesome. It was actually a totally last-minute thing. He came over to my place after work and told me he needed to use my computer. The next thing I knew, he was buying tickets for the show! WOW! It was great! Of course, it cause a little jealousy among friends, but I enjoyed it.
I also had an interesting dinner last Tuesday when I met up with an aunt of mine that I have only met a couple of times in the past. It was great to be able to get together and talk about some of the crap and bs that has spread through the family over the years. Ok, well, dealing with bs is never fun, but at least now my head is a little straighter. And she’ll be at my nephew’s birthday party this weekend, so that will be cool.
This past weekend, we went to a house-warming party for a couple friends who recently decided to move in together after about 5 or 6 months of dating. It’s strange how seeing others do it makes you want to do it too. When we were leaving, my boyfriend actually thanked them for inspiring him to become more domesticated himself. Haha. I guess that’s exactly what I needed to do, show him how other people are doing it. Although I will admit I’ve been thinking about this for a while (ok, way too long, and I’m sorry I did so well at not saying anything, but I was scared) but I sure am glad I finally let it slip out. Now to figure out when this can actually happen… hmmmm…. I need to move now, so I need to find a place I can just rent on a monthly basis until next year. I guess it’s time to start looking.
This weekend will be another busy one. One of my friends’ bands (Last Suicidal Decision) has a show on Saturday, which is going to be crazy. I’m really glad my man will finally get to go to one of their shows and see them play. I used to work for the band so I’ve see a lot of it and, although it definately isn’t country music, it is awesome to be able to support my talented friends. They’ve done pretty good for themselves and they are finally almost ready to release their first album. Way to go guys! Can’t wait til the show. Sunday should be interesting as well. My nephew’s birthday party is Sunday afternoon and not only will I be taking my boyfriend to meet my sisters for the first time, but a bunch of family that I don’t really know is also supposed to be there, so as I said, this should be interesting.
Well, I guess that about catches everyone up on what I’ve been up to, since I’ve neglected to post anything for you lately. I have been crazy at work and haven’t been able to get online for more than a couple minutes in about a month now. Hopefully that will change now that we have some new employees to help out and I won’t be going nutz trying to do it all. I am taking vacation the first week of September, so I’ll have to write all about that once we get back.
Until then…
