I gave Paramedic a giant hickey. We have watched a lot of Weeds (which has always been fantastic and will be this season). Still, no sex (for those of you that wonder about such things). This means that we are actually building a very nice relationship, and even though we are moving very fast it is still at a very nice pace.
In other terms, I am beginning to feel a bit like a St. Louis C-List celebrity. I keep having people come up to me at random places saying hi and they met me at so-and-so. I am really starting to get around. I also had a very random encounter at a gas station in south city. I ran into one of my makeup store co-workers and neither of us really know what we were doing at that gas station at that time of night.
I passed my second car inspection with no trouble whatsoever. The first time, they told me that I had a problem with my swaybar. I laughed and said that I would have to call my father because I thought they were making it up. Turns out that it is a car part and it might need to be fixed but not to pass inspection. So I took it somewhere else and it was super easy even though it was half and hour away. There was this really old man sleeping in a chair and everyone seemed to ignore him except me. I really thought he was dead for awhile. I still need to get my air fixed and also see if this sway bar is in bad shape, but not as important as buying new sheets for a bed I never sleep in anymore or buying furniture like a couch or shelves for my room. I am excited to actually buy stuff that will make my house feel like a home.
My bestest friend in the whole wide world is coming to St. Louis on Saturday after the canoeing trip. We are probably going to raise a little hell and just relax from my drunken trip on a river. I'm super excited to show her a little of my life since leaving the small town we grew up in. She has come to see me once where I actually live but otherwise, we have just gone on trips and I've seen her when I went home. So this will be more of me in my life. Be very excited Rachel. I might want you to guest blog your experience.
Anyway, now it is time for me to go home to my bed and sleep by myself since Paramedic has to work tomorrow and I (and possibly he) needs sleep. Lots of sleep.
Countdown to canoeing and vacation (much needed two days off)...3 days. Be very happy for me.
