WOW!
I'm so giddy after watching the new 90210 that I don't know if I'll be able to sleep! WOW!! Wow wow wow wow wow!! Now they just need to bring Dylan back and I will be totally fulfilled. Not sure if I could handle it though, Dylan was my ultimate favorite. But, I would like to find out whether or not I could handle it! I'm sure everyone would be able to hear my screams of joy if they brought him back! Bring back Dylan McKay! YAY!

Cue cheesy grin...
Well, once again my stressing out was for nothing, even though I only stressed out for a brief hour or two. I e-mailed TDH on Sunday morning a quick e-mail to say that I hope his flight to Asia wasn't too bad and just telling him about my day on Saturday and my plans for Sunday. When I got back from Crazy Girl's house later that evening, I already had a reply back from TDH! We've been writing back and forth since then, he's been telling me all about what he and his family are doing in Asia and asking about what I'm up to. He even asked if I want him to bring me back anything from the markets over there. Sigh... I told my Mom about TDH writing me and she said, "Wow, he's got the hots for you!" She's so funny. He just makes me squeal and grin like a crazy lady. In a good way, obviously!
So, that's the little update on TDH.
Tomorrow after working in the morning, I'm having some minor surgery on one of my toes. Since I used to dance so much growing up and I'm hereditarily (not a real word, I know!) prone to them, I tend to get ingrown nails on my right big toe. Not a very comfortable thing. So tomorrow, my podiatrist will use a laser to hopefully correct this problem. Won't be fun, but it will be better to do this then have to go into his office every 6 weeks to have him clip the nail a certain way so it doesn't grow into the skin. Gross, I know.
Anyways, I have a couple of books to read during what should be my brief recovery. One I've already started on - "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." So far it's really good. I also have that new show on the Discovery channel saved in my DVR to watch - "When We Left Earth," about the early space missions. I should have plenty of stuff to occupy my time!

Naked Men and Music
Had such a great weekend with Best College Friend (BCF) - it was so nice to see her and hang out, it almost felt like we were in college again. She got in on Saturday afternoon and after relaxing for a bit, we got ready for dinner and met up with Crazy Girl for fondue. We had a hilarious time at dinner and flirted with the very young waiter. To show how young he is, I give you this funny little story. Crazy Girl decides to order an alcoholic beverage to drink with dessert and before giving him her ID, we tell him how he just made her night by carding her and thank him for that. He then glances at her ID and gasps and says, "Woah!" We burst out laughing, she's only 28, and then ask how old he is. We then find out the poor kid was 20. No wonder he thinks 28 is old.
After dinner, we took BCF back to my place and tried to get her to change into a more revealing top to go out in. She thought we were just going out to a bar or a club, but little did she know we were taking her to the all male, naked strip club. BCF, being the very conservative girl that she is, had only brought sleeveless turtleneck or cowl neck tops to wear to go out in at night. Not something you would wear to a strip club. We tried to get her to wear one of my more revealing tops, but she just wouldn't have it and would only consent to wearing a less revealing tank top of mine. So, since it seemed like she was getting mad, we just let it be and set off. I pulled up to the strip club and when she saw we were there and not a regular dance club, she was so excited! It was hilarious! She was bouncing up and down in the seat and clapping her hands. Then she says, "You should have made me wear one of the slutty tops!" Too funny. After being inside for a while, we told her we were buying her a lap dance. She resisted until I told her that she would regret not getting one, just like she regretted not wearing a "sluttier" top. The stripper we chose for her came over and she tells him, "This is my first time, so be gentle!" Wrong thing to say! He gave her quite the dirty lap dance. It was hilarious! All in all, it was a fun night and some guy at the club gave me a shirt he got that said, "Got Dick?" on it. I gave it to BCF to give to her fiance. Heh heh.
Sunday we were exhausted. I guess we're just not used to being up until 3:30am anymore! So we went to the mall to go to the playground, aka, Sephora. Then we saw "27 Dresses," totally adorable. Can Katherine Heigl please be my friend? She seems so cool!
Monday we went to see our favorite band in concert. It was so amazing, I can't even begin to describe. We managed to talk our way into a radio station meet and greet with the band which was just beyond words. Finally got to talk about one of my favorite songs with the guy who wrote it. Crazy. The concert was fantastic, we had 9th row seats and then the band's security guy remembered me from another show and got us from our seats to stand at the front row. Insane.
BCF had a 7:30am flight to catch the next morning, so it was all over pretty quickly. But it was definitely a crazy fun weekend.
Otherwise, things have been pretty much the same for me as far as work and the guy situation. I think I am going to write up a profile and get on jdate. I haven't dated in almost 2 years, so why not start dating again just to get out there. I can correspond with guys in Florida as well as where I am and just see what happens. I will be sure to make it clear to any guys I meet where I'm at that I see any potential in that I plan on moving soon, that way there isn't any misleading.
I went out to lunch with a new friend today and had a great time. She actually gave me some great insight into the jdate scene where I'm at, so that was actually kind of funny. She's also good friends with a girl who was friends with the guy I dated before The Swimmer. Such a small world! She invited me to see some band with her and some friends tonight, but I had too much work stuff to catch up on and hadn't even eaten dinner when she was on her way to the venue, so it just wasn't going to work. I'm hanging out with her on Friday though, so it should be fun.
On a sad note, my tv is having some issues. Not my cable, but my actual tv. And it's only 2 years old. The repair guy can't even come out until next week, so I'm stuck with the volume too loud until then. And, yes, my remote has batteries, it's not that! So soon I'll have to make the decision - fix the tv or try to sell it for what I can get and buy a new one? How come my Mom has a 20 year old tv that works perfectly fine, but these new ones break so easily?!

Que sera, sera?
Everything is still pretty much the same around here, just going about my regular life and waiting for someone to buy my loft!! It's funny, my loft has only been on the market for less than a week, yet I'm frustrated that I've only had one showing so far. I need to be patient and remember that people usually look at houses during the weekend, so hopefully this weekend I'll have more showings. If not, I'll certainly be putting in a call to my realtor on Monday to see what we can do to get things moving.
In the meantime, I'm finding that because I have so little control in the situation, I am fixating on the few things I do have control over. One of them being where to live when I do move. That's actually fun! I've decided that I'll rent a condo or loft in whatever city I move to instead of renting an apartment. I've definitely found (and this is just from my personal experience so no one take any offense to what I'm about to say!) that people who rent apartments don't have as much respect for their surrounding environment and neighbors as people who own their own condo. When I've lived in an apartment, I've had to deal with noisy neighbors, dirty hallways, overflowing trash dumps, etc. Now that I've owned my own place, while there have been times when my neighbors have been noisy, it's definitely been rare and when I've said something, the offending neighbor apologizes profusely and immediately stops the noise. When that has happened in an apartment building, the noise often gets louder. So, again, that's just what I've experienced, but I'm taking that and learning from it and using it for the future!
Things with The Swimmer are pretty much the same. He's coming to visit in two weeks and he wants to plan a vacation together. I just want him to be open to visiting South Florida. Is that too much to ask?! Not going to go into that again though. Only time will tell! I just know that I love him and I want us to be together and if it's meant to be, everything will work out!
And can I just say how awesome tv shows have been lately?! Gossip Girl - AMAZING!! Prison Break - FANTASTIC!! America's Next Top Model - FABULOUS! Grey's Anatomy - STILL GREAT!! The Hills, The Bachelor, Dirty Sexy Money, Private Practice, etc. I could go on and on!! This year with tv is just too good, there are too many tv shows, my dvd is constantly recording something, it's crazy.

So, so tired. . .
Happy New Year/Shana Tovah to all my fellow Jews!
Sorry for the long absence, things have been quite dramatic with work and family and The Swimmer has been extremely stressed out with work, so needless to say, I've been quite busy. Got back from my work trip and family visit on Sunday night and still haven't had much time to really relax. At least the weather has been absolutely stunning here, maybe fall is coming early this year? So much I want to discuss too - the work drama, maybe the family drama, The Swimmer, America's Next Top Model, Prison Break and my new show addiction - Gossip Girl.
Anyways, unless I update sooner, I wish the Jews an easy fast (if you are fasting) and the others a relaxing and fun weekend!!
