Well Hello There, Mr. Mosquito...

Dear Boriquen Mosquitoes,

I hate you with a fiery passion. I don't understand why you want to suck the sweet life out of me...74 times. In about 3 days. I hope you die.

Love,
Me

Ok so....

i went to Puerto Rico for 4 days. I got eaten by mosquitoes. I went for my best friend's son's baptism, and was made a Godmother...yay! He's so cute. I saw my grandpa, and C met my grandpa, and it was totally un-noteworthy. I was stressed for absolutely no reason. My mom was there, which made the whole occasion more stressful, but he was sick so he couldn't really spend time with us. We stayed in his extra house though, which was cool (and cheaper). And saw my great-uncle, Vicente. Grandpa looks a lot worse than I remember, and last time I saw him was a year ago. Mom was soooo annoying-- as C said "I have never met anyone more ADD than her". Thanks mom. Oh, and "I don't ever want to go on vacation with you and your mom. My vacation would be getting to stay home." Again, thanks momma dearest. You have officially scared the crap outta my boyfriend. Sweet.

In other news, my last day at my current job is a week from today. I have been downsized....oof. At least they are giving me severance, and I have been on the hunt. I actually had an interview today. *finggers crossed*

I really want to go out for Halloween. C wants to stay home and "relax." Halloween is finally on a SATURDAY! We should be going out and having fun!!! But no. The last 2years of Halloween weren't fun either. He messed it up last year because he went to the Phillies World Series parade and we were supposed to go to the NYC parade with my friend, but by the time he got in the parade was almost over and my friend was drunk. Then we went to some bars and a mostly dead (not in the fun-Halloween-y way)house party. The year before I went out with coworkers and saw the parade (yay!) but afterwards we were supposed to go to Buddakan and we stood in line for like 2 hours, almost got ina fight with several people on line, and didn't even get in, even though we were on the damn guest list. So Whack.

Oh, and C and I went pumpkin picking about 2 weeks ago. We got 3 big pretty pumpkins that we were waiting to carve after our trip to PR. And somenoe STOLE them from right outside our apartment. WHO STEALS PUMPKINS!!! Argh!

"You be the Prince and I'll be the Princess"

The following is something I found on this blog. It's kind of funny, because I had a wishlist of things I wanted in a guy (I actually still have the original wishlist, though updates have been made!). I remember wanting some of these same things when I was younger. But alas, you grow up, you stop believing in fairy tales, and realize that sometimes, imperfections can be perfect.
(My thoughts in black)

If only fairy dream can turn into reality,

I would create a love story of my own. With a prince riding on a white horse with armor coming to my rescue whenever I face danger. Or a vampire boy like Edward Cullen in the Twilight series that is ever so over protecting and loving.
Princes on white horses are overrated. And I would much rather be able to fend for myself than have to depend on some guy to "over protect" me.

Someone that is tough and strong that will never ever allow me to get hurt. Not even by a strand of hair. Honestly, sometimes you need to get burned to learn. You gotta take the rain with the sunshine to get a rainbow. Though a lil muscle never hurt ;)

Someone that will whisper promises into my ears late at night and making me believe that dreams may come true the next day.
Patience is a virtue. It makes you appreciate whatever you were waiting for more.
A prince that is always by my side holding me tight never letting go no matter what the world may bring to us.
Again, you have to face some trials in order to grow as an individual. It's nice to have someone around to lean on sometimes, but you need to learn to be self-sufficient.

Someone that is never fails to understand and cares for me whenever I am in doubt.
I agree with this one!

Someone that will make my whole world spin when I saw him. Someone that will make my heart beats faster and faster without control whenever I am with him.
That's lust+love. I'm all for it.

Someone that will wipe my tears whenever it falls and make me smile when I had a bad day.
:)

Someone that will never be afraid to voice out their own opinions and also tease me at the same time.
This is one I had almost verbatim! I'm not afraid of a little debate and difference of opinion- in fact, I welcome that idea! Having someone agree with everything you have to say and every opinion is boring (I know from personal experience)!! The person you are with was a person before you and should have their own idea about things and the ability to support and communicate those ideas. And the teasing shows the fun side- you need to have a sense of humor and not take yourself too seriously!

Someone that will correct me and teach me from the mistakes I make.
This is a more recent addition to my list. 1. I like learning new things. 2. I would rather be corrected than continuing making the same mistake over and over again!
Someone that will make me suffocate just by the scent of the air filled by him.
Um please don't suffocate me. I need my personal space sometimes.

and lastly say, Daphnee, you are my princess and the Queen of my heart. Can I be yours too?
I think this is called a marriage proposal. Though this is a sweet way of putting it :)

Thoughts?

The Move

Well, it has been a little while, but I have been super busy trying to settle in to the new place and balance work/friends/and C!

Updates from the last post: I wound up taking off move in day. And I'm very glad I did. Two of C's friends that were supposed to help us move bailed! So I was able to add some much needed assistance. Plus it was good that I was there to do the walk through. The move went pretty smoothly, except for dropping the TV once, but it didn't break! And C and I going a little crazy because his parents were there, but whatevs- it all worked out in the end.

So we moved August 25th. So far, living together has been great! We get into little fights here and there, but my favorite part about living together instead of living and 1 1/2 apart and only seeing each other 2x a week:

the fights. end. so much. quicker!

We're both pretty passionate people, and we both have hot tempers, but now we can just talk about whatever is making us mad instead of holding it in and blowing up, or screaming through a phone and hanging up on each other and not talking for a few days. *happy sigh*

Anywho, in weekend news:

• Friday was spent hanging up artwork and pictures, and it made the apartment feel much more like home.
• Saturday slept in (always good!), then hung out with an old friend in Philadelphia. It was really great catching up, and we went to a Philly Fringe show which was interesting to say the least! Followed by draco fruit bubble tea at a bubble tea bar in Chinatown. YUM!
• Sunday slept in a little, got bagels, watched some of the Eagles game (stupid McNabb...), cleaned a little, caught up with a few old friends via phone, and watched True Blood. I was not impressed, especially since it was the season finale.

That's all for now! Oh, and if anyone needs a cheese and cracker party purchased, planned, and executed in one hour, I'm your girl!!

Friday 5 for August 21

First post, so I needed some help!

1.Who in your life is most likely at any time to be in a state of confusion? other than myself,...Chiquita.

2.Some people have described nirvana as a state of perfect nothingness. Which of the fifty United States could best be described as a state of perfect nothingness? I haven't been to a lot of middle America, but I've seen Arizona/Utah, and that looked pretty flat and dry and "nothingness"-y.

3.When were you last asked to state your name and address? This afternoon when I was reserving a UHaul.

4.How many of the United States have you been in? I believe at least 15

5.Why does it seem harder to maintain a positive state of mind than to maintain a negative state of mind? I think it's because, at least for me, I keep dwelling on the negatitve, or whatever got me in the negative state of mind to begin with. Plus, there are lots of little things that can get you to that negative frame of mind easier than vice versa.

Hooray for Friday! Though this is one of the slowest days everrrrr. I'm very excited for my girl Laly's wedding tonight. Actually, she's already married, but she never got to have a reception and celebrate with all her friends and family, so tonight's basically the party night! W00t!

This will be my 4th wedding with The Boy, 2nd one this summer (though the first was in Hawaii, so it will be very hard to beat!). I love weddings- they're so happy. I feel like it's hard to not be happy at a wedding.

Last night was my last night living and sleeping by myself for at least one year, if not ever. I'm moving in with The Boy tomorrow! We have to spend 3 nights at his place now, and then we can move into our place (it's not ready until Tuesday). Luckily he has off that day, and has a helper, so by the time I get off work and commute the hour to our new home, we should be mostly moved in- yay! I'm super excited to move, though I have had some naysayers I'm trying to convince that it will work out. We've had a few ups and downs, but I feel that most of it was because of distance (we live 1 1/2- 2 hrs apart, and only see each other weekends and once in a while on Wednesdays if he comes up). So this will be a BIG change, but I'm looking forward to it. The 2 weeks in Hawaii was a bit of a trial run, though on vacation, and it went really really well. So...we'll see what happens!
