message to all girls...

This year I moved in with my boyfriend. We have had our ups and downs getting used to each others schedules and habits. There have been more and better ups than downs.

But here is a down that you all need to know about...

I went to the grocery store on Monday night. Bought lots of groceries and some beer for my boyfriend. One of the things I bought for myself was salad from the salad bar. I bought enough for two meals. I had part of it on Monday. On Tuesday I went out to my sisters so dinner out with her and her family. On Wednesday night I fixed my boyfriends dinner and then went to make my salad for dinner and went to the refrigerator looked and no salad... ok no big deal just ask the boyfriend when he wakes up where it went.

So I ask. "Do you know what happened to my salad?" The answer, "I threw it away. It looked old and I needed room to move the case of beer so I could open it."

Ok, there were about 10 other items in the fridge that were much older could have been tossed. But no, the one health meal in the fridge gets the trash treatment.

The moral of the story is this...if you have something in the fridge that you want and it is anywhere near the beer, MOVE IT or it will get the trash treatment too!

You said what?

So lately things have been going well for me. Really well. I knew it wouldn't last. Why would I expect it to last.

Work is great I love my job and the people I work with. Home was going so well. Just little bumps.

Well, yesterday (Sunday) the little bumps turned in to a hurdle. I love animals. I have almost always had a dog or a cat. I have been living since December 22, 2004 with out a pet. I really want a dog. My boyfriend keeps telling me no. So Sunday we were watching the replay of the U of L game and chatting about things and he told me he already knew what he was getting me for my birthday and for Christmas. I said a dog and he laughed and said no. I said an engagment ring, he laughed and said no. Ok now I am a little on edge. And being me I had to push things... I said so what are we doing about the holidays this year? He said we were probably going to his parents for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I said what about my family... He said you can go see your family. So my feelings are once again this year, I am not getting engaged nor do I count enough for him to spend time with me and my family during the holidays. So what happens next you guessed it I got mad and started to cry. When I am upset I clean.. Needless to say the house is pretty clean today. He did relent and say he would spend time with my family. But now he is barely talking to me.

I am tired and I don't want to fight anymore! I just need a little consideration!
