Probably will discontinue use of this puppy. So go check it out!

it's not cool when your doctor doesn't allow the pharmacy to refill your prescriptions.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
I have the cutest boyfriend ever!!!

Ok, so i was worried about nothing, no surprise there. He was way tired from only sleeping 3 hours and so he took a "nap" at 3 in the afternoon. . . . and didn't wake up until 6 in the morning! OOPS! he called me when he woke up (and since i had had my 6 hours of sleep already, i was up), and then he went to his district meeting for all the managers, where he found out he's getting a promotion, and then we went to lunch at subway (which i have been craving for some time), and we came home and talked and laid in bed and listened to the rain, and then when he left i got ready for work. Went to work, came out to my car and there were two roses on my dashboard, and a note (wrapped in side a plastic baggie so it wouldn't get wet) that said "I had a nice time today. I miss you already. -Travis"

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I think I got Travis in trouble last night . . . . we went to his house (he lives with his folks) to watch movies and eat pizza, and I ended up falling asleep. (oops) He didn't call me today. . . . I hope he's not mad. He doesn't call every day but usually when he doesn't I can go see him at work, so at least I talk to him once a day. Of course I'm all worried because we talked a whole lot and I'm scared that he's scared about something I said, or that he's scared of me or something. We talked about when he gets his apartment, about how close we are after only dating for 3 weeks, about his exgirlfriend. . . . . ugh i'm worrying too much.

Took a 6 hour nap today, about to go head to bed again. Question for comments: Do you think he's mad/scared/in trouble/etc. or just tired and resting?

Got up early, went to breakfast with Travis, worked for 9 hours, got picked up by Travis, went to dinner with my parents, came home and watched a movie. He went to work, I went to bed not long after, then I got up and worked, came home and my parents friends came over. Probably will go to Aesop's later tonight, work on SOMETHING.

i was kinda manic today, i was all jumpity and bouncy and had tons of energy, and I got started cleaning my room and doing laundry and sorting my clothes, . . . . . and then i got lazy. I have done quite a bit of laundry, though, and I got my sheets done and went through a bunch of clothes and underwear and sorted them out, got rid of the old stuff that wouldn't fit or just is too old.

I'm trying to decide whether I should get up in the morning for breakfast with Travis. . . . . that would mean a pretty early morning, but it would be worth it! Plus I could buy HIM breakfast since I have some money. I think I will go find out.

Two consecutive nights of Travis! Yay! Tuesday night was fun, we went to dinner at Joe's Crab Shack, and then we were supposed to go bowling but we got there too late. So we went to his brother's apartment and watched Road Trip, which I hadn't seen before but was really funny. Then we came back to my house and watched a movie. . . or at least put a movie on, I didn't really watch. We snuggled a lot. Then tonight I went to his house and *gasp* met the parents! He warned me that they were kind of redneck, but they were very sweet and kind and I'm pretty sure they liked me. His dad said (in my presence) "well travis, looks like you got yourself a pretty good girl here." and when I left, his mom said "Thank you for coming! You're welcome back any time!" From the way they spoke, they expected me to be around for quite some time. They said "Just wait a few weeks, our dad will figure out a nickname for you." I feel like I've known them for a long time, just like I feel like I've known Travis for forever. Kinda weird.

Good news! I talked to Travis tonight while he was on his way to work. He was joking around about being wild when he hangs out with his brother, and he said "oh, wait, you haven't seen me at full throttle yet, have you?" I laughed and he said "I guess at this point we're still in the beginning phases and getting to know each other, I'm just trying not to scare you off!" Sounds like a good sign that he's not just going to jerk me around or use me. (Nice change.) He ALSO said that his brother really wants to meet me, which is another good sign, because that means he talks about me to his brother!

last spring i was in this spanish class with this really hot older guy (and by older i mean 24 compared to my then 19 years of age). i totally had a crush on him and we studied together a couple times, but nothing ever came from it. well, i saw him today on campus, and he gave me his number . . . . when i was driving melissa home and i was like "damnit, how come a week after i start dating someone, a guy i had a crush on a YEAR ago gives me his number??" Figures.


I believe in an effort to encourage posts to my blog, I'm going to ask a question at the end of each post. . . . so, to get the ball rolling: Would you go for the old crush or the newly forming potential relationship?

Sometimes it sucks being bipolar, because I can't really enjoy my good moods. I'm always worrying "now when is this out of hand, and what is the line between being normal and being manic?" I was driving home today from Aesop's, all in a good mood because i talked to Travis, I got some studying done, etc. . . . . I was singing out loud like a maniac, and all around having a good time being wacky with no one watching and all of a sudden i was like "oh shit, am I getting manic???" I can't enjoy being happy and carefree because I worry that if I let my guard down, I'll break free of the reigns and go off the deep end. (How many cliches can I use in one sentence?)

On a different note, Travis got a cell phone today, which makes me happy because now I won't have to worry about him paying long distance bills. Plus, he called me on his way to work today, so that means I'll be able to talk to him more often. Not that I want to be a stalker or anything. I just find it difficult to adjust to his work schedule (10 pm to 7 am) and sleep schedule (who knows?).


ANYWAY . . . . . work tomorrow, 11-3 (my favorite shift of the week!) and then Aesop's for coffee and homework! (ugh).
