I was all set to go to the gym this morning before my "big" day ahead of me, but I decided I would do homework and maybe attempt some cleaning. And I am too hungry to be working out. I barely ate yesterday, and I wasn't all that hungry.
I"m eating some corn on the cob right now, and I really hate how the bits get stuck between my teeth. I should get some more dental floss out of my storage. That's where my suitcase is, too.
Yesterday was kind of a long day, and I missed Big Brother :x. I taped the wrong time or something! :x I ended up going to the PNE. I got everything I needed, i.e., barbequed chicken and mini doughnuts. But I also came home with a Sweepa. It's this rubber broom which can be used to wet or dry. I am hoping it will help me with my kitchen floor woes, so I don't have to get down on my hands and kneeds with a scrub brush. I also got this cool candle stuff. They are these little bead type things. Actually, they remind me of the little rocks in fish tanks. You just empty them into a fire-resistant container and throw in the wick. I got a big box for myself and a small box that would be great as a gift. I might keep it all to myself. But buying that has given me some motivation to clear off my clutter and get my place looking like a home.
When I told Tom and Eva that my place still looked I just moved in, Tom was like...it's supposed to be a babe magnet. How are you going to invite people over for drinks? :lol: Hmm, I just remembered he had alcohol issues many years ago.
Speaking of alcohol, Dude called me a couple more times again yesterday. The first time, he left a message and said he was in my 'hood and was wondering if I wanted to meet up for a drink. :roll: He's asked me to go out to the bars with him before. What gets my goat is that I didn't drink when I dated him; what makes him think I'll drink now?! Just because he likes being drunk all the time...At least I won't have to put up with his calling while I'm gone. Maybe by the time I've returned, he'll have gotten the hint. But oh wait...we stopped dating over 6 months ago. Maybe he just needs a smack upside the head. He was a liar, and a cheater. Maybe I should be a little meaner to him, but I hate confrontation.
A couple of coworkers and I talked about my new pending position at work. Everyone will hate me as I try to do my job. :wink: :lol: In my whole time at the company, I've just tried to blend in, keep my head down, and do my work. But this new position will require me to interact with people and do get everyone to follow standards and procedures, and actually do it all properly. Ah, good ol' diplomacy. And I will have to dress in a way where people will take me seriously. Power suit, glasses, and hair in a bun?
I made a list of things to pack on my trip last night. I won't have that much...just the necessities. But it was difficult to think of enough clothes for 15 days. :)
I am thankful that people have been so complimentary to me lately; they make me feel a bit better about myself and helping me move on. :lol:
I finally got my plane ticket from T's mom yesterday. She was like, "you look really good! What did you do to your hair? It's so shiny!" All I could think was, "I just washed it." Having that plane ticket in my hand makes things feel more real! I dug out my passport, too. I hate my passport photo. My eyes are half closed!!
From this point forward, I'm calling the C Man "Big Chunky Guy," since that's what my family called him in Chinese ("dai gau lo") . It's not the most flattering name, but in Chinese it's not as mean as it's translated to be. Maybe I will use something else later. While we were at the MarketPlace at the PNE [The PNE is just this annual family-oriented fair with shows, performances, food, etc.], we stopped at this booth selling memory foam stuff. After we left, BCG was like, "that guy was totally hitting on you!" I asked him what he meant, but he just said I missed it. All I noticed was a guy telling me about the quality of his products and his experiences with working with Costco and his massage chairs. *shrugs*
I'm not sure what to do about BCG. I don't know if he wants something from me. I don't want anything from him except friendship. His sexual innuendo makes me uncomfortable since I'm not interested. He tried to kiss me good bye last night, too. He does make me laugh though, and he makes me say dirty things out loud. Usually I just think them.
