Its that time of year kiddies. The time of year when I typically high-tail it out of my fair city with the bff and go to NYC for the long weekend. But alas, this year we ended up making separate plans. It had a bit to do with the fact that I was moving, a bit to do with the cost, and a whole lot to do with the fact that neither one of us wanted to go back to NYC. Not that we don't love New York. We do. We love our New York babies, and we miss them dearly, but I needed some time away from the city and with the fair chunk of change that I am shelling out on the new digs I decided to spend my weekend-o-love much closer to home. Namely Key Largo with the boy. Who we call Gerbil 'round these parts. Although sometimes Little Owl, but mostly Gerbil, 'cause its cuter and Goobs made it up and well you don't argue with Goobs..
So Bear took off to North Carolina for a few days and I will be heading to the Keys for a nice, much needed romantic weekend with the Gerbs. Isn't that just loverly. I think so. I have no idea what he has planned, but geez did the man make me do all sorts of homework, "do this list, and do that list, you'll know what its for later." I can only imagine he means this weekend. We shall see.I will let you know what happens. Well not everything. Somethings are just meant to be kept between a man and his woman.
My Gerbil has been very nervous about something and I think it has to do with the present he is going to give me and to be honest I don't know why. He is an amaze-balls and very thoughtful present giver, the type that just knows what to get without going crazy, just the way I like it. You can tell he's put a lot of thought into them and in the grand scheme of things whats more important the gift or the thought? In my book its ALWAYS, and I mean always the thought. That's why the way he made it official with me was oh so significant. He didn't just ask me to be his girlfriend, or assumed I would be. He sat next to me and meticulously cut out a heart from a piece of paper and wrote the words "Will you be mi (as in my in Spanish) girlfriend? on it, a la elementary school. Perfection. So sweet. I know that we will have a great weekend.
In other news, I am crazy busy with life. I am working my booty off for the day job, finalizing some crazy ex-issues, packing at night for the move, planning the wedding for my Caqui and her love, writing a piece for the oh so awesome www.antisteez.com, doing a reading challenge for the year, trying to get my shit together for school after the move, and last but certainly NOT least learning how to drive by March 1st.
Oh life, how crazy you can be :-)
