Again & Again

After a very fun Friday night [JB, a mutual non-dancer friend, and I were flip cup legends] Saturday is shaping up to be boring but pleasant. I got a bunch of nice new things today and felt the need to tidy up my room so that they would fit in. It hasn't been this clean since I moved in; to be honest all the empty space is freaking me out a little bit.

The Big Boss wasn't at work this past week, so things were even more relaxed than usual. I have a ton of filing to do next week before she gets back, but not having to jump up every time anything landed in the "To Be Filed" bin was very nice. I had an idiot moment and couldn't remember how to dial out for about 2 hours, but in the end it all worked out and I made all my calls in record time.

The new dance group has been rehearsing more frequently as of late, and as a result my knee has been killing me. It's a no-good situation but there's nothing I can do unless I stop doing what I do. I'm stocked up on Advil, Tiger Balm, and just got a new stretchy brace, so we'll see.

My laptop is really and truly dying right now. It's been overheating since my Sophomore year Spring finals, but it's just gotten out of hand lately. I asked my Mom to get me a new one for a combined Christmas/Birthday present this year and can only hope she remembers. It took me a month to get her to agree to get me an external hard drive, so I'm pretty confident that starting to ask for my Xmas/Bday big thing now will prove fruitful.

Speaking of my Mom, she came up to visit today with my Favorite Cousin, FC's mom, and my across-the-street neighbor. We went shopping, I got an amazing new purse and a bunch of other cute stuff. SH came along and I think my crazy family [across-the-street neighbor is basically my other Mom] overwhelmed her a bit, but she got 2 new pairs of shoes so she can't say she had a bad time.
It's strange to hang out with my Mom now. I kind of want to be friendly with her, but she doesn't seem to want to know what I get myself into. She didn't even ask if there were any "new interesting people" [meaning boys/men] in my life, and she always asks that.

Of course, if she had asked I wouldn't have had a clear answer anyway. The blond and I stayed up until 5 in the morning again last night talking, listening to music, and looking at old issues of Esquire [we were at his place this time] together. I initiated a "thanks for walking me home" hug which was well-received, but he hasn't made any moves. JB actually yelled at me for not "freakin' fucking him already!" Thing is, I know him too well at this point to get all sexually on-the-prowl agressive-jumpy, but I don't know him well enough yet to know what his views are on that sort of thing.
He and I have been texting back and forth for over an hour tonight, but who knows. [Edit - midnight: he's coming over to "watch a movie or something"] [Edit - 2:30am: he just left. he read my girl magazines, watched me put away my laundry, and we finished the movie we started last time he was over here...and that's it.]

I'm not sure why, but I've stopped agressively editing my posts. I used to read over my posts several times after publishing and made lots of changes. Maybe I just got out of the practice when I was writing quick updates on borrowed computers? Has anyone noticed a difference?
Hope you all had nice Fridays and relaxing Saturdays! Oh, and congratulations to one of my favorite bloggers!
