Happy Birthday Rach!
Lately I've had some interesting things going on. They had a Pine Car Derby at work - my boss's kid is in the boy scouts. They set up a race track at work, and all the guys were busy building cars. I overheard them talking about a premade kit you could buy at Hobby Lobby, so I went home, bought one, and made a car that night.
I painted it black, and it came with flame stickers. I painted a Cobra on the front, and on the sides "Cobra" over the flames. I brought Cobra car to work, and it beat everyone's! I placed 2nd out of 20 cars, and narrowly took 1st place by 1 race, the other car beat mine by 1/2 inch.
All the men were angry. One guy even took the day off to 'craft' the fastest car, and his didn't even make it to the finals. One of our managers brought in a sand blaster and was making his car the day before the race. It was slow! :D I had so much fun, and they were so mad at me!
I swear, so much around that place is about what hangs between your legs. I'm glad I made them eat their defeat, and they know better than to underestimate me.
Raffy and I went out for Sushi with Cobra Car to celebrate with hot sake and an LIR roll. I had a great week!

Present
Yeah, I'm here. Present!
My kindergarten teacher always had us say "Present!" instead of "Here" for some reason. I would always get excited and thing I was going to get a gift, because I didn't know the multiple meanings of that word.
And that is why I am a bitter person to this day! :D J/K
Raffy and I are looking for a new place to live. This new place is starting to turn to the ways of my previous apartment. We're looking into our options, and we're going to move to a better side of town. I have some friends I'm inquiring with to see where they live, how it is, and whether it would accommodate our needs. I hate moving! I wish the new neighbors would just leave, and take their smoke and weed with them!
They always stare at us when we leave, and they are there when we get back from home. Watching. Doing Nothing. You can tell when someone doesn't have a conventional job. And when 2 families are living in a one bedroom apartment, you know that isn't a good thing to be around.
Other than that I have been longing to finish my paintings. I want to take some time off work so I can just paint. Paint and relax.
I read your comment, Rach, about the canceled trip to NY. I will use my time off then, since I don't have to save it for anything. Raffy and I want to go on a vacation when he graduates, to celebrate and to give him time off. So if that's next year, I have to use it or lose it!
I will use it well!

Life as a Slug
Yup, that's me. I'm just a slug. I go to work I come home I go to work I come home I go to work I come home. Just so you know you haven't missed much.
I haven't talked to Rach about going to New York lately. I am assuming that it may be next year, pending when she gets published and the publisher contacts her. I'm going to keep my vacation stored up, so if something suddenly happens, I can go.
Alice, the first three months are the hardest. But once I saw Raffy again, and we began to visit each other regularly, I became accustomed to and even enjoyed my long distance relationship. When you get sad, just call him and leave a message if he doesn't answer! Go with a friend and do something you enjoy, or treat yourself to something you love. Before you know it, it will be over and you'll be with him and very happy. And when you get back together, you realize how much you miss him and why he is the perfect fit in your life. I love that feeling!
Also, I am extending an invitation to revisit the Rafaleah Inn in early May. Please email me and let me know so I can take the next day off. That worked out so well last time!
Raffy is so close to finishing this semester. We have the summer planned, and he has some classes picked out for the fall. Hopefully if they have all the classes he needs next spring, he'll graduate! I'm so proud of his accomplishments and I am glad we see the light at the end of the tunnel after so many years.
Until next week.
