Hmm...Space Man. I think I would give Stef that nickname. More on that later :twisted:
After work yesterday, I booted over to the shop to pick up my car. I'm glad to have it back!! Then I went off to my gym appointment; my body is punishing me today for not having exercised a whole week!! Right after, I rushed off to the mall to get in as much Christmas shopping as possible!! I am two half-gifts from being done :D If only the mall could give me one more hour :D
I guess it's natural reflex for me to answer my phone when it rings, but I don't know how many calls I got while shopping (mom x3 and others!!). And I felt annoyed!! How dare these people interrupt my shopping!! :wink: One of the calls was from Stef...and he knew I'd be shopping. :x I hate using my cell phone in public, too!!
"Hello?" "I'm home!"
Thinks to self..."yes? So? You don't need to report to me." Anyway, he had told me he was going to give me a call after he got together with his friend. I just wasn't expecting such an early call, and I sure wasn't expecting the call from him as soon as he got home. I wouldn't even expect boyfriends to give me such updates!! Anyway, since I was shopping, he told me to call him later that night, and I said, "okay." (of course)
I got home around 9:30 (more than 12 hours since I left the house!!)...had dinner and called Tara...did laundry...wrapped some presents, and felt exhausted. I don't remember what it's like to feel refreshed anymore!! I decided to forego calling Stef because I was so tired, and I was not about to call his house at 11:30 at night. So I went to bed.
He IMed me this morning. The VERY FIRST thing he said to me was, "i thought you were going to call last night?" That got him a "well, good morning to you, too!" AURGH! I did apologise for not calling him, and I explained why I did not call. That whole incident made me mad. I don't think I owed him an explanation. I feel like I have to be so defensive around him, yet not bruise his ego.
Anyhow, Paula actually did talk to him on my behalf last night because she knows how much he is getting to me. She thought she got her point across...but no, I think he is too stubborn to hear it. Maybe what I need to do is repeat everything she told him and what I've ALREADY said. I told her about the convos I had with him today, and now she feels like she wasted her time last night.
Tonight a bunch of us are celebrating a couple of birthdays - mine included!
