YES! Many times. There is no other feeling like it. It feels so much more amazing than swimming with a bathing suit. It's kind of like having sex with no condom. Yes, it's enjoyable either way, but soooo much better without. I've been trying to Hangtime to try it. If you do it one time, you'll know what I'm talking about. It's a great feeling of freedom. I know u non-believers are thinking "how can be so much better- it's not like you're wearing that much less clothing" Trust me. Maybe it's better for women. I don't know.
Items that are currently stressing me out:
1) My mom being upset and worried about how she's gonna make ends meet
2) My house almost never being neat OR clean
3) Not feeling like I ever have enough time
4) My name being attached to a gift for my future mother-in-law that has not yet even been ordered.... and it was suppose to be a Christmas gift
5) Feeling like a wasted $150 at Christmas time
6) Paying for my wedding and everything associated with it
7) Work
I never said we couldn't go to Savannah. In fact, I called him on my way to work this morning (before knowing anything about what he had posted) saying we should try to work it out. He immediately shot it down and said he decided we weren't going despite my efforts to try to tell him we should go b/c that's what he wanted and I was fine with that.
2nd of all, the original reason I didn't wanna go was NOT b/c I wanted to get waxed but b/c we all had plans (all 6 of us) to spend the night here on Friday night, caravan to Orlando, celebrate OUR bdays at my mom's b/c she's making a cake for BOTH of us (in fact Hangtime picked it out). We would be getting to Savannah late Friday night anyway, so I thought another weekend for Savannah would be better considering we would have to leave fairly early on Saturday. After having understood that Hangtime really wanted to go despite all of that, I agreed, because yes I do enjoy making him happy.
As far as the excursions go- I told Hangtime that I would drink w/ him a couple of nights if he went on 1 or 2 excursions with me. I thought that was a fair compromise considering it's a 7 day cruise. If he was very much against it, I would have conceded and in fact offered to do them by myself, but HE found a Mayan Ruin excursion that HE wanted to do. I hadn't even considered that one, but again, I wanted to make him happy, and it does look nice, so I cancelled my original plans for that port and am now doing what he wants to do. The only other one he's signed up for is the one on my bday that the entire group is doing. I picked the stingray excursion that is on the party boat with free drinks.. why?? b/c Hangtime enjoys drinking, and I thought that would ease the pain. I convinced not only myself, but the entire party to do the early one b/c Hangtime wanted to hit as many bars as possible afterwards. I told him I would cancel him from the stingray one since he mentioned in his blog that he didn't want to do it. When I did he said "Do not cancel me. I made a decision that I will do this for you because that is what you want for your birthday. This vacation will not be ruined at all, if you start canceling excursions, you will be making great strides to do so." That, by the way, is a direct copy and paste quote.
I really feel like I make great efforts to please him, and he still accuses me of not compromising. I really don't know what else to do. It also REALLY hurt my feelings that he posted the blog w/out talking with me about some of the issues of which I was unaware. I spent a long time picking out a shirt for him. He told me he liked it, wears it as often as any other yet posts that he doesn't like being dressed for one of the nights on the cruise. When I mentioned that I was unaware it was a problem and that he could opt not to where it without catching any grief, he told me that no he really liked it. WTF, he posts one thing to the public and tells me another. We've also never posted our issues before, but now I guess we've crossed that line.
Things use to be so great b/w us and usually still are, but I feel like we butt heads too often, and it's really breaking my heart. :(
1) Get my hair trimmed- I said TRIMMED Hangtime, not all cut off.
2) Clean my car, inside and out
3) Get 2 new tires put on my car
4) Take care of my emissions testing, if it's not too early- Does anyone know how long they're valid before your birthday?
5) Give my house a really good cleaning including the keyboard.
6) Buy almost the rest of the items needed for the cruise
7) Buy super glue and attempt to fix my headgear
8) Contact HOA and see about getting screens on my windows and the water pressure fixed
9) Take clothes and pick them up from the dry cleaners
I think that about covers it.
As most of you know, I have had an unplanned summer vacation of sorts.
Since May 24th, I have been unemployed, have had a few offers but have
wanted to hold out for a clinical position that Piedmont Hospital had
to offer. Well, all of the wait and the turning down of other offers
(about which I was very nervous) has paid it's way. Piedmont is set to
make me an offer today! I'm not sure what the offer entails, but I'm
pretty optimistic. Words cannot describe how exited and relieved I
am. I'll definately need to get used to waking up before 10am now, but
I think it's worth it. 
In case all ya'll didn't already know- even though we may give each other alot of crap, I do have the best boyfriend in the whole world.....
Saturday night was mine, Pam and Maria's girls' night out. We went and got pedicures and then went back to Joe and Maria's for Maria and Pam to change. The guys and the baby weren't there where we left them- they had gone to get something to eat. We're trying to figure out where we wanna go to dinner. Cheesecake factory was suggested, and then Maria said Joe told her the kitchen would be closed b4 we got down there- it was already after 10, and we were still in Sugar Hill, and that we should go to Twisted Taco. I called Cheescake, and they said the kitchen doesn't close till 12:30.- Pam was like "joe was prolly lying cuz he doesn't want us to go to the clubs afterwards like we did last time." Pam and I were in her new convertable waiting forever for Maria. I'm like "geez it's not like she has the baby to get ready this time." So we're finally heading downtown to Twisted Taco after deciding to try something different anyway. When we got close, Pam was calling Phillip, and I called Chris to try and figure out exactly where it was- Chris didn't answer, but Phillip did. We parked over near Shout and were just gonna walk to Twisted Taco. Shout is the place I banned Chris from going on guys' night b/c it's where I've always wanted him to take me. The girls suggested we go in just to try it since we didn't see Twisted Taco around. I knew i prolly shouldn't go in there since I had banned Chris from going w/out me. They insisted and I was still unsure- I even asked the security guy how to get to Twisted Taco. Anyway, we walked in and we see Joe! I'm like "what are ya'll doing here- ya'll are suppose to be home on OUR night out, and where is Chris?!?!" Maria's all "Did you bring my baby here? Where's Isabel?" I was starting to get upset at the thought that Chris was there without me. We walked around to the hostess station, and Joe was like "here's Lindsay." The hostess handed me one red rose and led me out to our table where Chris was waiting with a 11 more and said "Happy Anniversary Baby." I almost cried! EVERYONE was in on it. Pam even made a cake, and Joe gave us a picture frame with pictures he has taken of us over the year. The one in the front of the frame was one he took the night we got together. They had been planning it for months! :)
I think I may have stolen a little over $30 of gas from the QT over by my work. I got out of my car on Tuesday and very routinely began pumping gas with the debit card in hand. After the fuel began pumping, I thought to myself "wait a minute, did I swipe my card?" I then read the sign that said, "Please pay inside or use a credit card before fueling." I figured I must have swiped my card since it allowed me to fuel up without having gone inside. After my tank was full, the little computer screen asked me if I wanted a car wash or a receipt, and I declined. It then said "Thank you" which confirmed my thoughts that I must have already paid.
It's been 3 days, however, and the transaction still has not showed up on my online bank statement when it normally shows up immediately. I hope the manager of the establishement realizes that I was not intending to steal anything, and will gladly go in and pay for the gasoline..... when Hangtime comes with me.
This article on CNN.com pretty much goes against one of the first things I was ever taught in any embryology lesson.
