Long ramblings about nothing....

Well it's Monday which means Tom is out of town again. I'm sure right now he is enjoying a nice cold beer, meaty pizza, and a good football game with Foxy at The OC...also known as Old Chicago...which is where we started. You know, he sometimes complains about having to go to Boise every other week, but I think he enjoys the night out with some of his best friends. I usually sit at home alone and frightened out of my mind. Why am I such a scaredy-cat? Who knows. I usually clean or sleep after singing to myself while listening to itunes. Well today I was playing a couple games and listening to music when I started surfing a few sites I haven't visited in awhile. I found myself looking at Stephanie Meyers website and reading a few of the new posts. As most of you know, I loved the Twilight Series. I loved the romance, Bella's need for Edward was just what I needed to get me through my day at work. You may think that's pathetic, but until you work where I do, you don't understand that you need something to focus on to get you through the day. I'm kidding, it's not that bad. Anyway, I was one of the annoying saps who fell in love with Bella and Edward to the point where I wished I was a vampire....kind of. So I'm reading around on her website and I found the link to read Edward's version. Back up, I have to say that after I read the fourth book my little obsession ended and I was able to move on with my life. Two people at work are reading the books and it's funny to see them go through the same emotions I went through along with everyone else. With that said, I'm now reading online Edwards version which is what has helped me get through my alone time without Tom. I haven't been scared once because I haven't focused my attention on the shadows being cast on the wall from my tv, or the normal noises outside that seem 300 times louder when Tom is out of town. I'm only on page 40, but already the romance is coming back to mind and every 30 seconds I say, "ah" or "oh I remember that from Bellas point of view". You get the idea. It's not helping that the playlist I'm listening to is 70's & 80's ballads including, "I want to know what love is" which is on right now and I feel like I should have a lighter waving above my head while I dance and sing along. Ok, if anyone has actually wasted 5 minutes of their life by reading my blog today, you see what Tom has to deal with after work. I usually spend the first 1-2 hours when he gets home by telling him random things that happened to me during the day, each one leading to another different story, another lie someone told, another Palin lover because she is a soccer mom, another relationship gone bad, etc. You feel bad for Tom too? I'd say he got himself into this by saying, "Hey, I'm moving to Salt Lake, want to go with me? It will be fun!" Little did he know that I would say, "sure." Looking back, I love Tom, but I wish I could have managed a long distance relationship while still working at a beautiful Design Center, not to be confused with the showroom I work in which could hardly be considered any type of "design" anything. (sense the hatred? It gets bad about once a month for a week and then tends to go away for about a month...) I'm half kidding anyway.

So I'm going to take my computer into my bedroom, sit in bed with the tv on, read Edwards version until I get tired enough to actually sleep while Tom's gone and then do it all again tomorrow. I've had a better time tonight with him gone since I have good reading material than I have had for a long time...but I would rather him be home instead of in Boise.

Just to let you know, right after I typed this up I head a long noise right when the music paused and it made me jump! Now I'm afraid to switch my laundry, but I haven't picked up dry cleaning and I have two pairs of pants that fit right now that are machine wash so I have to go in there. If no one hears from me in the next day, the boogy man finally got me! Eek!
