hello, lovely

Well, I’m back.
Actually, I never really left, but I was really busy.
Joe flew in Friday, and we took Teresa & Alex & Gabby out to dinner for taking me to the airport to get him. On the way out of the airport, I handed Teresa a dollar so we could get out. She threw it back to me, but Gabby caught it & she actually CHECKED IT IN THE LIGHT to see if it was REAL!!! It was the funniest damn thing EVER. *lol* Then she decided she had to pay the Pizza Lady (We went to CiCi’s), so Teresa let her pay for dinner. ehehehh Joe beat me to the punch when it came to actually paying the cashier, so he gave her her “change” when we were leaving. It was so cute.

Saturday, we didn’t do much of anything. Went to a late lunch, and decided to spend the day at the hotel watching tv. We paid for the room, might as well use it, and we ended up getting room service for dinner because… why not?

Sunday, we didn’t do much during the day. About 1pm, we went to Enterprise to pick up the rental car. That took about an hour or so, and then we went to lunch. After lunch, we went out driving a little, and then we went to my mom’s to hang out and eat dinner. Joe was so cute & actually kind of fell asleep on the couch. It’s partly the spot on the couch where he was sitting (it’s like, the comfy sleep-spot), and partly the fact that he was just exhausted. We had a nice time, and then we came home.

Monday, I woke up pretty early, and he slept in. I should’ve woken him up because we were going to go look at apartments, but I just couldn’t do that to him. So I watched CSI & knitted & read some emails and stuff while he slept. We ended up leaving the apartment around 11 or so, maybe? Eventually, I had to wake him up. heeh He took me to Collin Creek so I could get the stupid-ass sensor off a shrug I bought there over a month ago. The sensor didn’t make the alarms at the store I bought it at go off, but it made the ones at THIS store go off. The clerk apologized, and I told her it wasn’t her store’s fault, but she took the sensor off, and away we went.

We stopped at one complex completely by accident - we were looking for the entrance of the one across the street, but turned into theirs because we couldn’t find it. It was the first apt we looked at, and we ended up deciding on that one. (My mind was made up from the beginning actually, but I sorta liked the last one we saw on Wed.) We went to lunch, then checked out a couple more before giving in to the need for a nap and went home. We ended up going out later for dinner & to see The Hills Have Eyes (Insert Movie Review Here: It sucked.), and then we went home to crash. OH! Before we went home from apt hunting, I got him to go into a Hobby Lobby. *heheh* I bought the beads I needed for a couple of projects I want to knit & handles for the purse I’m going to make next.

Tuesday, more of the same. We actually got kind of a late start again. We went out to breakfast, then to the bank so I could deposit a check. I had to stop by work and drop off the mailbox key that I forgot to give the new receptionist on Friday, so we said hi to Teresa & then went to shop for mattresses. We found a few styles we like, and one we really, really like, so Joe’s going to do some homework and price comparison on them. After JC Penney’s & Sears, we went to Ikea (for the first time!).

I’ve decided that some of the stuff at Ikea is really cool, and it’s really awesome stuff for the price, but some of that crap is …well… just that. That said, we looked at an El-Cheapo couch & will be probably getting that when we move into our new apartment. I also want to get my dishes from there, so I can get rid of my stupid dishes. hehe

After Ikea, we stopped at the place we were originally going Monday morning, because we found the entrance!! We looked at those, and they were okay. When we were leaving this place, we saw another complex right next to them, but they were already closed, so we decided to check them out on my lunch on Wednesday. We came back to the apartment, decided to check and see if there were any movies we wanted to see (all sucky reviews, didn’t want to chance it), and then went to dinner. After dinner, we came back and went to sleep.

Wednesday, we woke up & got ready. He took me to work, and I was early, so we went to Starbucks. He got free coffee & I ended up getting a scone & a hot chocolate (also for free, because I used a gift card - so it didn’t come out of my pocket. *lol*). He dropped me off at work, and went to his interviews. He brought me flowers and lunch (awww), but I had a couple of things to finish & then my boss came in w/ some files and stuff, so I had to wait around a minute. After my boss met him, we went to eat really fast & then we went to look at the last complex. It was nice, but the girl who was showing us apartments just… I don’t know. I didn’t like her tone or personality. We decided we actually really did like the first place we saw the best, so that’s what we’re going with.

I took Joe to Cold Stone Creamery on teh way back & we got big bowls of ice cream, and then he dropped me off at work. We spent a lot of time in the parking lot saying goodbye, and I cried a little going back to the office. He went to the airport, and now I’m playing catch up!

Well, I’m caught up now, but it took like two days, because I had to train the new receptionist on pregrades, and stuff…… so I’m finally where I need to be. Good time for a weekend.
This weekend, I’m cleaning & throwing stuff away & doing laundry & all that fun stuff. I might be going out with my friends on Saturday, but I haven’t seen any definite yes or nos as to what we’ll do. Everyone’s pretty much saying “Count me in! Just let me know what’s going on!” lol.

I love my friends, but these last-minute ‘hey, let’s do something’s just don’t work out too well. *rofl* Weather permitting, I’ll be going out driving on Sunday. If not though, I’m okay with that, because I really need/want to tend to the apartment stuff.
