stop at nothing

This was a good weekend.

I hung out with girls I used to be tight with during college but haven't seen in years, and followed that with a birthday party. On saturday, Senator and I went out to breakfast and went shopping all day, and then i went to a wedding reception for his cousin, where I met most of his extended family: aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma... most of them were very nice and we had a good time. We came home and he told me I owed him a walk, so we held hands and walked slowly to our college and back, looking at houses and hugging often and got home just as the sun finished setting. i was in a summer dress and he was in my favorite shirt.

we hung out and played games, went in the hot tub and snuggled all night and it was nice. The next day (sunday) i was gone most of the day at a bridal shower (he's IN the wedding, i'm friends with both the groom and bride) and left him at home. i invited a friend over and the three of us played some board games and watched a movie... our tv broke so we watched it in my bedroom. Senator and I were on the bed and our friend sat on a chair and we cuddled. twice he was mean to me and i told him later, "you're being mean to me" and I think he felt bad because he stopped and kissed my forehead.

i really like when he spends the night because i like being with him but sometimes i get claustraphobic and want to spread out. he tends to sleep in the middle of the bed so i get squished up against the wall in the crack.

this morning i was getting ready to leave for work and we both walked outside and I said bye to him and he said, "man, your car looks shiny" and i looked, and it was SO CLEAN. I'd been whining that I needed to get a car wash badly but i hadn't done it yet (and my parents are coming into town so I wanted it clean) and not only had he washed it (it was BAD. bird poo EVERYWHERE and dirt everywhere) but he amorall-ed the inside. What a sweetie. He must have done it when I was at the bridal shower.

I told my mom about us today. I purposely was really nice to her on the phone (i tend to be short with her more often than not) and finally was like, "i dont really know how to say this but senator and i are dating" and she laughed and said, "oh i know." I kind of figured she knew. it's not that hard to figure out. but since we live together, i didn't really know how she'd react. she got all awkward when she basically was trying to ask me if we are sleeping together and i blatantly told her our stance on that and it was kind of awkward.oh well.

i think i need to go to the doctor. i've been having wierd abdominal pain lately and the skin on my fingers is peeling. no idea if the two are related, but it makes me nervous. i hate doctors. i like to play the, "maybe if i ignore it, it will go away" game.

anywho. that's my story. Nothing much else is new. :)
