CARE Packages

We signed the lease for our apartment!! By 'we' I mean Anna and myself, sorry. Anna is a friend from my college days, and she has a real-life...uh, Life now. A degree and a real job. That's what happens when you stay in school, boys and girls.

Anna's fiancee is in Saudi Arabia right now, and will be for the next year or so, and she needed a place.

We got a really cool apartment in Redondo Beach, which as you might guess, is near the ocean. You can walk to the seaside in about fifteen minutes, or less than five minutes by car. No view of the water, sadly - there's a big hill in the way.

Since my date recently with the boss, he's been asking me to go out again, and I've been inventing excuses not to go... But he offered to help me move into my new apartment, and I'm tempted. But that would be wrong, to use the fact that he likes me to get free help moving.

I don't need that much help, not having much stuff. Since I sold most of it before the hike, I don't have too much crap to schlep - mostly clothes and books and CDs.

Anna's really stressed out about her man being overseas in such a hazardous area, and I would be too. I mean, it's gonna be a 'living in fear' situation until he gets back safe and sound. I think I have a cousin - Laura - in Kuwait, but they're not near any fighting, it's Admin stuff.

Dad sent her a box of goodies a while back, and is prepping another one. I'm trying to think of something good to add. Maybe a few books, a GameBoy Micro and a few games? Laura said they just sit around bored when not on duty.

Do you know anyone serving overseas? Send em a care package!!

Mmn Cran and Vodka!

So I went back to The Whiskey to flirt with the hot bartender, and he wasn't there, so I flirted with the guy who was there and found out when Mr. Lusty McYummy (his real name, strangely enough) worked next.

So he worked last night and I went and I sat at the bar for about three hours and ignored everyone else and flirted with Rob (ok, his real name is not Lusty, but it should be) and we talked a lot and he's a very funny guy. He kind of reminds me of Dane Cook, which is a very hot comparison in my book.

Unfortunately, he has a steady girlfriend, so my efforts were for naught. I did get to practice my chit-chatterly skills, so it wasn't a total loss.

Still at Dad's, apartment stuff still hasn't gone through, ugh.
