I don't get to see Mike as much as I did before. With the gas prices what they are I can't afford to go up there every night. Between our work schedules it makes it a little more difficult.
Plus you have the winter weather right now. Once the nicer warm spring/summer weather hits I will be able to possible see him more than once or twice a week.
One an average I see him from Friday night through Sunday evening.
But we talk every night on the phone. Which is where my blog comes in.
Mike was telling me about this one band he really liked and how he downloaded a song from them online. he was just telling me so nonchalant like. I was only half listening to him (Sorry Mike) when suddenly all he said was Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby!
It struck me funny as I started to laugh and the more I thought about how he said it I laughed even harder. Which in turn made Mike laugh. I tried, in between laughs, to get out "What the hell was that about?" As Mike tells me that is the only part of the song he can remember.
At the thought of this I bursted out laughing hysterically. Which made Mike laugh again, making me laugh even harder.
Now that wasn't the only thing that got us going.
The past couple of days my Nextel service has been acting up. Either I have had bouts of "non service" or like last night I will be in the middle of a conversation and suddenly everything goes silent. It says I'm still connected but I can't hear anyone and then I get a long BEEEEP and my phone says Sorry Please try again!
Now what in the world is that all about!???!!!
The first time this happened to Mike and I on the phone last night I called back and Mike says "Why you hang up one me? He says it in a sad little voice like he was about to cry.
Which made me laugh yet again. So I explained what had happened from my end.
We started talking again about five minutes or so and it happened again. By the time I stopped yelling into the phone "Mike are you there? Miker can you hear me? MICHAEL!!!!!!"
I hit redial and, of course, the phone was busy. I must have tried at least five times before it rang through. Hello...!!! He didn't even realize I wasn't there as as he was babbling on. (Real Nice)
This time when he answered the phone he says "Why you take my baby away from me? They are trying to keep us apart." and he said it sounding so seriously confused. Which made me laugh controlable I had tears in my eyes.
We were just acting very silly and it was fun. We haven't acted like that in a long time and we both needed it.
My Baby Boo...... he always seems to make me laugh and put a smile on my face!

Sweet Escape
Every time it comes on the radio I can't help but bop my head around and sing to this tune.
SWEET ESCAPE
If I could escape
I would, but first of all let me say
I must apologize for acting, stinking, treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk fell on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refridgerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold
If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, Now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape
(I wanna get away, to our sweet escape)
You let me down
I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out
I need to get me out of this joint
Come on, let's bounce
Counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around let's look for some common ground
So baby, times getting a little crazy
I've been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that you're angry
By the way the you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me
Want to take you with me
If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
Forever, we can make it better
Tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

They Say It's Your Birthday!
I need to get a shout of to my girl Tammy.
Yes, It's her Birthday today!!!!
Happy Birthday Girl Friend!!!!! (hehehe)
Tammy is a fellow Aquarian. That's one of the many reasons why we get along so well.
We have the same personality type -- the "Get Appreciated" personality. I would normally go into and explain that but I will have to save it for another blog.
We crossed paths years ago. Tam's a "Jersey" girl. In our senior year of high school she moved up here. Talk about culture shock. We were on the same cheerleading squad but never talked or hung out. After we graduated she headed back to Jersey. It wasn't until years later when she moved back up here with her daughter that fate crossed our paths again!
She started seeing my cousin Matt and since at the time Matt and I were close he, of course, introduced us. We clicked right away.
Over the years we just grew closer and closer and now I couldn't even imagine a time being without her in my life!
The thing with us is that we can go days without talking (which is very rare) but it can happen, but when we finally hook back up it was like we never lost touch.
We can talk for hours and hour about everything and anything. Even real embarrassing things that you would think you wouldn't want anyone to know about.
We never judge each other, we are always there to listen and not tell each other what to do but give each other options and help talk each other through what we already know in our hearts and heads what to do.
She is my BEST FRIEND and I love her dearly.
I am so lucky to have her (you) in my life.
Thank you for being my friend.

Sam Cooper
Work today has been very frustrating.
I needed to get my circulation number for the Grower paper finished and they just weren't cooperating!
The phone keeps ringing and interrupting me so I'm starting to get even more aggravated.
Yet again the phone rings so I pick it up and go through my friendly shpeel "Good Morning Lee Publication, Subscriptions"
The guy on the other end didn't even get two words out before I was thinking in my head "Oh My God Someone Shoot Me Now!"
He took forever to tell me what he wanted and then he would repeat not only what he said but what I said too. So I end up telling him the same thing five times each time him repeating after me. Like he was trying to burn it into his brain!
He started out by telling me he called prior to order a paper but have not received it yet. (It was like pulling teeth trying to get information out of him)
Once I got the information where he lived and what paper had ordered I tried looking him up.
Found him --- (So I thought) I went through the address and he said no that we had the wrong address. But I continued to to finished telling him the name of the town and such we had in the computer. That's when he stammered no that was his cousin's address. His cousin that lives up in Dryden and how he lived in a different town (Which he repeated that whole thing three times!)
By now I'm grinding my teeth.
I quickly told him we did not have his information in the computer and I would take it now and enter him in to start with next weeks paper.
Now comes the fun task.......Getting his information.
Not only did he repeat himself but he talked funny. He sounded mentally challenged.
Now he has already told me his name throughout our conversation about 3-5 times. Plus I had (what I thought) was his subscription up on my screen. But he feels the need to tell me his name THREE more times, in a row!
Then he continues with his street address. He tells me the road name and instead of spelling out the road name or making sure I had the correct name of the road he wanted to make sure I had the "RD" abbreviation for ROAD!
I smacked my head with my hand at this point and calmly told Sam I got it.
Now we move on to the city. This took a bit because even with him spelling out the name it sounded mumbled and did not look right when I wrote it down.
After the fifth time of telling me the name of the city and spelling it out he finally spoke clearly enough I got the correct spelling.
I quickly wrapped up the conversation. He was having it billed to him for one year. I finished my shpeel giving him the information on when his paper will started and what to do when he receives the invoice.
About five to ten minutes go by and the phone rings. Can you guess who it was????
That's right! You guessed it! It was good 'ol Same Cooper!
Now remember -- he ordered a one year subscription. This is a weekly paper.
So his question to me was if he had to pay for this every month???!!!!???
Huh??? Oy Vay!
I tried explaining to him that his paper will start with next weeks edition. We are billing him and when he gets the bill he can send his payment in with the invoice. At first he said ok but then he asked, yet again, if he could send in a money order and when. So I went through it all over again a bit slower this time. He repeated everything I said two or three times Until I think I saw the light bulb come on.
He finally reiterated everything I said one last time before saying ok and thanking me and telling me to have a good day.
I couldn't get off the phone fast enough.

Oh No, Not Carmella's
Over the Holiday, Mike and I went shopping up at Sangertown Mall and we stopped in to have dinner at Carmella's.
I told him how I have always wanted to go there to eat and never have so it was my first time.
We both really liked the restaurant. Even though it was extrememly busy and we had to wait for like 20 minutes before being seated the food was good. I relaly liked the ambiance and the set up. The tables/booths weren't crowed so you had your privacy (Even with it being packed).
So Mike said it was "Our" place. A place where he or I haven't been before with anyone else.
This morning I was listening to the radio while getting ready for work this morning. 105.5 Kiss FM - The Keeler show. They were talking about how Ruby Tuesday's in the Mall was closing and how many of the restaurants around the area were closing for one reason or another. Then I heard it!!!!
They mentioned that Carmella's is for sale and that they were filing for bankruptcy!!!!
I couldn't conceive how that could have come about seemingly they always seem to be packed when I go up there.
I was like "NO NOT OUR PLACE!"
Well not much we can do but maybe find another place.
Good excuse to get out!

I'm Back!
The holidays have come and gone.
We are already into the 3rd week of the year and yet I haven't written in my blog since just priot to Christmas!
Let me apologize to all of you who have looked forward to my insane mind boggling jibber jabber or just pure and simple ... my bitch sessions.
Except for a few small pebbles in the road it has been smooth sailing the past few weeks so I haven't had alot to really write about.
Christmas was nice. I spent Christmas eve with Mike and his family. His brother came home and I finally got to meet him.
I loved watching Mike's face when he opened his gifts. It was like watching a five year old. I know I went a little over board but it's what I like to do. I get enjoyment out of watching how excited and surprised he gets.
New Years eve was a little off kilter. He had to work til 11pm and it was only about a month since he stopped drinking so it had to be hard for him.
In my mind I had already had the night set of how it would go. I really have to stop doing that because I always disappoint myself.
He wa a little on edge when I picked him up from work. Actually you could say he was a bit grumpy. AFter a while of tyring to get it out of him I found out it was partly because of the alcohol and lack of him not having it that was making him that way.
I never told him this but I was a tad bit hurt at that fact. I know it isn't easy but I just thought that maybe me being there would have made it so that he wouldn't have missed it and we could have had a nice romantic evening enjoying each other. I was once again wrong.
But we got through it.
2007 will be a good year!
I will do whatever it takes to make it that way if need be!
