Ahh, Thursday already. I had a great weekend and the week is shaping up nicely. PUH-lusss, I get PAID today! Wooo-hoooo! And it all goes to RENT! Yippie-kie-yeaaayyy!
I have a lot of end of the month shit to do today...bleh. Oh well, it's good to have this lovely diary to distract myself as I move through the day. It's almost lunchtime, too. The day is flying.
So my parents met Ron for the first time this past Sunday. It was great, they had invited him to Easter dinner. We all had a lovely time. It was one of my brothers and sister-in-law and the two kids, my mom, dad, my brothers MIL, Ron and I. They really liked him and I was proud to introduce him.
I'm happy because I finally got my computer back from my friend. It was all fucked up and one of the hard drives had died. It's still got a pretty big drive left though, and now it's all clean and protected. I lost a lot of stuff, but it wasn't really important. Plus, I probably still have some of the older stuff on my old hard drive. I'm so very thankful to have a great friend who knows how to deal with (and has the patience for) computers. I'd been doing pretty well with the maintenance thus far, but the shit really hit the fan and demanded a total reformat this time. So I am with computer AND I got an old Nintendo video game system from my cousin over the weekend. The cousin that introduced Ron and I. He's so happy to see us together and it's so cool to be in more touch with him again. Anyway, he and I were talking about old Mario Brothers games and I was telling him how utterly obsessed I was with them as a teen. I've never really been into video games, I actually can't stand most of them... But there's just something about the Mario Brothers series. Those games are just all fun and fantasy. So he told me he had an old Super Nintendo sitting around and would be more than happy to give it to me. He also gave me four games...one of which is Mario Bros. 1 - 3. HOLY SHIT I'M IN HEAVEN! I'm such a dork...I sat there last night just playing the hell outta that thing. Soooo much fun...and of course I got all nostalgic....ah, the old days.
Okay, so where did I leave off on the whole damn ex-boyfriend story? Shit, I'm kinda sorry I started that now. Well, I guess I can go along little by little. It's not toooooo terribly long.....I don't think. Um, so yea...we met and he was my first love. My first EVERYTHING. Things went pretty well for the first three years. Of course there were red flags here and there, but when you're in love (especially for the first time)you tend to ignore these things at first. AT FIRST. Of course I was also young and naive and this was my first real relationship so that's another reason why I was willing to overlook so much. And much I did overlook. The first GLARING problem was the fact that he was divorced. We met and started dating seriously only 4 months after he moved out from the ex-wife's place and into....HIS PARENTS HOUSE. GLARING PROBLEM number ONE, actually. Okay, so he's got an ex-wife, so they didn't work out...he married young and they were only together a total of five years. She drove up the credit card bills and he worked as a seasonal fireman. He made very little money and needed to move in with his parents to get back on his feet. Not a big problem, right? Lotsa people do that, right? Yea...but not everyone has parents who are enablers. Not every man is a momma's boy. Okay, that's it for now. I've been adding to this all damn day and I haven't gotten much of anywhere. Since I now have a PC at home, I will try to continue this tonight while I'm downloading upgrades. Later!
