... The commute that is. I was a little concerned about the commute from Baltimore to Laurel and it's not so bad. Greg and I take completely different routes, but to be fair he's been leaving earlier than me so the traffic might be different.
Last night, Amelia just wasn't herself. She was very quiet and didn't seem all that interested in eating. We played with her for a little bit and then put her to bed. She didn't fuss or anything; it was very unlike her. But, this morning she is fine. I guess she was having a moment.
Ok, so I have a question for those that like to cook: How do you cook your hamburgers (if you're not cooking them on a grill)? Greg and I made hamburgers for dinner last night and he was going to broil them in the oven! I have never heard of that!! If I am unable to cook a hamburger on the grill I cook it in a pan, as I cooked them last night. In any event, the hamburgers were tasty (even for Greg) and we ate them on a bagel. Delicious!
The Condo Guy replied to my email and stated that he was going to shop around for a new washer/dryer since, it seems, the current one is the original and has had service calls in the past. Hooray! We get a new washer/dryer! I hope this one will be bigger than the current. I can't believe how small it is, yet huge! I will try to get pictures of it before it's replaced; even though we still don't know when we're going to have cable or Internet so who knows when the pictures are going to be uploaded.
Albeit Greg and I have only lived together, and on our own, for about four days, things are great! It's so weird to think about all that has occurred in the past five years and where I am now; when thinking in retrospect of who I was living with and where. Here's the break down:
May 2002 - May 2004 - Adam and I moved to Baltimore; first time living on my own and being with Adam every single day (from 1998-2002 we only saw each other on the weekends or on occasion one night during the week). Adam and I were engaged at the time we moved in but he still wanted to wait until we were married before we lived together. I felt differently and my argument won. Adam and I married on 08/08/03 and in May of 04 we moved again.
June 2004 - June 2006 - Adam and I moved to Glen Burnie. In May of 2005 Adam moves out and I continue living at Glen Burnie on my own. I was a little bit scared of living on my own. I didn't know if I would be able to afford the rent and utilities and what not. But, I am proud that I did it and wasn't evicted!! *Greg and I met in Aug of 2005*
July 2006 - July 2007 - Sean and I find a townhouse in Pasadena and move in together along with his best friend, Aaron. It wasn't that bad, living with my brother and we got along very well. Don't get me wrong, we had our moments but when thinking about it now, those moments could have been due to my pregnancy hormones.
August 2007 - Present - Greg and I move to Glen Burnie. Greg and I talked about moving in together the summer of 2006, before Sean and I moved to Pasadena, and it was talked about on a semi regular basis. We were planning on finding a place by this summer actually. The only hiccup was that my lease expired before his and we were trying to figure out how we could work things out - all the while we didn't know I was pregnant.
Maybe I'm the only one that thinks it's weird but thinking about the events that have occurred in my life over the past five years has been so... multifaceted; I can't think of a better word but it's just bizarre to me. Like, if I think about what I was doing this time in 2002 I am thinking about working at PRP and starting life with Adam, this time in 2003 - Still at PRP, working part time at Super Fresh and being a newlywed - this time 2004; still at PRP and having issues with Adam - this time in 2005; Met Greg a few days ago (Aug 20 to be exact), was working at PRP and looking for a part time job and having fun - this time in 2006; living with Sean and Aaron, quit PRP and Weis (the part time job I started in Oct 05), was working a new job and hating it but over all happy - and today; working a new job, have a nearly 8 month old baby, new friends, new car, and new relationship.
In any event, it's all what it is and will be.
So, I forgot to mention that Monday, the 20th, marked two years that Greg and I met. yeah, it's a girl thing to remember dates like that; bla bla bla... In all honesty, and I've told this to Greg many times, I thought Greg would never contact me after we met. I was so shy. But, to my surprise and pleasure, he contacted me within two days and thus began our continued friendship that involved into love. If you're wondering how Greg and I met it was online through Y!; He sent me a message on Y! Messenger and I was online and we began chatting and then met in person.

whatdayoftheweekisit?
I work up this morning having no clue as to what day of the week it was. It was such a weird feeling...
Last night, I stopped by Greg's office, unannounced, and hung out for a few minutes while he finished making our 'Need/Want' List for the move next week. While he was working on that, I was chatting with Brooke and talking about the Ocean City Golfing Extravaganza in Sept., which sounds likes it's going to be a lot of fun!! Once Brooke left, Greg and I chatted about going out to dinner, even if it's a McDonalds and we eat inside rather than drive-thru; I just wanted to go out. We ended up going to Pizza Hut on Rt. 40. Our server was horrible and he totally messed up our order; but I didn't care because I was happy to be out and with Greg.
While waiting for our pizza, Greg and I chatted a little about a few things that were on my mind and then we focused on the 'Need/Want' List. Turns out that we don't need as many things as we thought we did. A majority of the items we need are for the two bathrooms (shower curtains, towels, rugs, accessories, etc) and things for Amelia's room (which it looks like a lot of people (ok, 4) feel that themes are a thing of the past for children's rooms), such as a lamp, bedding and such for her crib and a few other little things.
Another topic of discussion was brought on by someone that I had spoken to on the way to the Pizza Hut; an old 'FWB' that I met nearly three years ago. 'W' is engaged and has his wedding planned for this coming Oct (I am going to assume I wasn't invited, LOL); his bride-to-be doesn't know that 'W' still has a paid membership to an adult hook-up website and is still looking for fun (shoot, he's asked me many time this year to get together for 'lunch', to which I've declined and have told him that I am in love with Greg and am not interested in that friendship anymore); I asked 'W' why he's still looking and such and he had no real honest answer and mentioned something about his bride-to-be has expressed some, very little, interest in possibly having a third person join their 'party'. So, I asked him if his bride-to-be knows of the website and he said no and that he doesn't plan on telling about it anytime soon because she would freak if he told her. Umm, wouldn't that be a big flag to not do what you're doing? So, once I ended the conversation with 'W', I talked to Greg about it and asked how he would feel if he found out that I had a paid membership to said website and was actively looking without his knowledge. His reply is something that I would feel if I learned of the same. See, this is where communication is key in a relationship; Greg knows of every past 'FWB' that I speak with (on the rare occasion that a conversation with one of them (there are four that I talk to every now and then) occurs) and I tell him about the conversations of them on my own free will, he doesn't ask and I don't hide anything from him. Greg is an important person in my life, why would I not tell him what's going on in my life? Maybe I am more open than others, who knows, but that's just the way I am.
Oh, the Greg's review didn't happen last night; work was too busy, but it did happen this morning!! Greg's review was great and the raise was more than either of us were hoping for! Plus, the raise is effect immediately and will be reflected with the paycheck coming on Friday! Hooray!!! From our calculations, this check is going to be sweet and it may be more than enough to actually hire people to move our items next week, which is something we've been chatting about all morning via email. I am a little hesitant because I want to know for a fact that Greg and I are going to have more than enough money for next week and then for rent in September, which is two weeks after we move in! Greg understands my concerns but if pretty positive that we will be fine. It's awesome that Greg and I are paid on opposite weeks because every Friday, there will be a paycheck deposited into the joint account (as soon as our employers process the requests).
This move is getting very exciting and nerve wracking for me. I told Greg that I am afraid of a repeat of the 'life' I had with Adam once we moved in together; even though my heart is telling me that the life Greg and I will have together will be nothing like that of the past; but I can't help but worry. Also, I just realized that today would be my four year wedding anniversary if Adam and I were still together. I wonder if he remembers... meh, not important to wonder about those type of thoughts...
Oy! So much going on in my head!!! I'm missing Amelia a lot this week; I want to call Cousin April and see how's she doing, yet afraid because I remember how I felt after having Amelia; I need to talk to the Babysitter about having her sign a piece of paper stating that she is/has accepted money from me to watch Amelia so that I can be reimbursed; I'm hoping that my brother is doing well, financially, at his new place; wonder how my car is doing since it's been nearly 2 weeks since I handed it over to the repair shop... and many many more...

The Day That Never (feels like it) Ends!
Yeah, so I am totally not in the mood to work whatsoever.
Greg and I have been chatting back and forth about what we're going to do this weekend and about the condo. So far, this is the plan:
Saturday: Sleep in as late as possible. Then, at 3pm we meet the condo guy, sign the paper work, give some money and try to contain our excitment!
After that; no plan at all.
In the mean time, I've been money crunching with numbers. Since we're paying the pro-rated rent when we sign on Saturday (well, just under the total amount), we need the security deposit when we move in. Also, we still need to pay rent to his Mom, but it's only going to be half since we're moving out on the 17th of Aug. But, I also have to pay my cell phone, which is past due, and then my car payment and insurance before we move in. I think we're going to be able to make it. It helps that Mom is watching Amelia all of next week! Greg and I have got to do something nice for Mom.
But, other than that I haven't done much today. I did work, a little, on my projects (at least there isn't a 'due by' date on them) and I've already enrolled 10 new customers today (which a lot since we're so slow) and did the email thing with Denise and my Grandma. Oh, and to top it off, played some DD. I'm sure I'm not suppose to be playing this while at work, but my argument is how is it any different than reading or working on a puzzle book? I have the volume off and such, so it's not interrupting anyone and as soon as I get a call I put the DS down and focus my attention on the call. So, they can't say that the game is lowering my quality of call (especially since my score is averaging around 98%, which exceeds expectations).
Well, two more hours to go!

Monday - Finally!!
Wow, that was one slow yet fast weekend!
Saturday was my 10 year high school reunion and I completely forgot about it. At least I didn't buy tickets. Yet, I still can't believe I forgot all about it. Oh well, apparently there was a good turn out and they plan on hosting another in 5 years.
Sunday, was a long day. Greg and I didn't even leave the apartment until 1:30. Greg had a nasty headache and wasn't motivated to do anything and I don't blame him. So, we arrive at the townhouse around 2 and begin the clean. I swept the floors and Greg, more or less, picked up trash and kept Amelia occupied. Then, I tackled the kitchen, which was the worse of all rooms; and by 4pm, I had made significant headway, You could see the counter tops! In fact, I had cleaned the counter tops, stove top (Greg cooked spaghetti one night last week and made a complete mess), and the refrigerator. Yeah, and it nearly took me an hour to do all that. Sean and Aaron didn't arrive until 3:30ish and by then Greg and I were ready to go, we wanted to go to Costco's before they closed (since they have the worst business hours on the weekend).
Greg and I did rather well, shopping wise, at Costco's. Plus, it helped that we had a lot of coupons to use; we saved $15!! We got all the items we went for and a few extras (shampoo and toothbrushes). All in all, I spent $57. I think I did well.
After Costco's, we headed 'home' (a.k.a. Greg's Room). Pat was there, to our surprise, so it was a full house! Amelia went to bed around 7pm and then we just hung out for the rest of the night. Around 10:30, Greg and I head to our room to chat and play a little DD.
Mom called yesterday afternoon and told me that she's heading out to the Grand Canyon. I asked what hotel they're staying at and she said the Stratosphere and is having a great time! I can't wait to see the pictures. Also, I'm envious that she's actually on a trip! It's been nearly 10 years (Aug 1998) since I've been on an airplane and went on an actual vacation. Greg says we're going to take a vacation as soon as we find a place to live. I'm crossing my fingers that day happens soon.
It's a little weird staying with Greg's family. I know these people are going to be my future in-laws (mother-in law and brothers-in law), but it's still weird. But, I am thankful that I get along with all of them and they seem to like me. Greg's Mom came into our room yesterday afternoon as I was laying on the bed with Amelia, with an arms full of lotions and perfumes that she's received over the years as gifts. She gave them all to me. Some of them are expensive lotions (such as Mary-Kay), but there is more than I'll ever use, much less need. So, when I see Mom, I'm going to give her some.
Also, adjusting to another bed is wreaking havoc on my body. Granted, the bed is huge (a king) and extremely comfortable; but my body is used to the broken mattress that I've slept on for nearly 5 years. My body isn't used to this luxury! And, apparently, nor is Greg. His poor shoulders and neck have been bothering. For the last two nights, I have been able to 'pop' his back when I kneed into it, to which he says helped a lot. I then suggest he visit a chiropractor, since I am considering returning to the one I used to see, Dr. Todd Fare, since my shoulder and hip are acting up again (though more the shoulder and the hip is something different than what it used to be; I think giving birth to Amelia pushed the joint out of socket a little).
Greg just called me (11:25am) because he's bored (he's working from a different shop today) and he's done all his work. So, I suggested a few things for him to do, since he doesn't have Internet access; 1. Think of ways to propose to me; 2. Think of places that we can now travel to on the weekends; 3. Think of ways to propose to me.
Yeah, he's going to think of a place that we can go this weekend. I suggested another State Park, the reason being that earlier this year when Greg and I went to Catocin State Park and Cunningham Falls, we decided that every month we were going to visit a different state park; we haven't been to a park since April.
Well, I am going to work on my other post (my Memory Book for Amelia; going to share the photo's I selected to create pages for - to get an opinion and any suggestions from anyone out there).
Here's to a new week in a new place!

Here's to a new week in a new place!
10 July 2007
A little of this & that
Just before I left work last night, the person about the house for rent in Pasadena returned my call. We chatted for about twenty minutes. It was a very good conversation. The details about the house:
Big Yard
Washer Dryer
Cable and Internet are included in the rent
Big rooms (kitchen, living, dining and bedrooms)
1.5 baths
And the reasons why we are not going to apply:
No dishwasher
No central air conditioning
We could do without the dishwasher, but it was the lack of central air that was the deal breaker. Greg and I need air conditioning and window units don't count. Plus, when I asked how much the utility bill averages, she stated $250, which is way more than what we've been paying at the townhouse (highest in the last 12 months was $190).
Then, this morning when I checked my email there was an email about the condo that Greg and I looked at over the weekend. The reason we haven't received the application is because the unit is under 'negotiation' and this is what the realtor stated:
"...will let you know tomorrow if we have an offer to buy or not. If we do not, the owner definitely wishes to have you 3 rent the condo."
Greg and I haven't even 'applied' to the place! Fortunately, they only run a credit check and my debit is low, so I am not worried about that.
During my break, I called my Mom to give her an update on what's going on with the move and what not. I told her about the house and the email I received from the realtor, she asked what are Greg and I going to do and I told her that we are not interested in the house and that we felt the condo was too small. She stated that Greg and I are not in a situation to be picky (don't you hate it when Mom's are right?) and that we should choose, otherwise we're going to be doing the same thing in another 6 weeks whereas we could have some stability if we were to choose the house or condo. Damnit, she's right. So, I called Greg and told him about the email from the realtor and the conversation I had with Mom and he pretty much agreed with what she said. Plus, I added bits of the conversation Greg and I had last night as we were talking about the house and moving in with his Mom, and one thing Greg mentioned was that he wants his own place. So, if the condo doesn't get sold, then Greg and I are going to apply.
In other news...
I'm thinking about starting a 'hobby', even though I know I won't be committed to it. But, I was thinking that I haven't done anything with all those pictures I've taken of Amelia. I don't have a photo book or anything. So, when Greg and I were at Target on Sunday, I went down the scrapbooking isle to take a gander at the options and such. Woah! That would take some serious time and dedication, either of which I don't know if I have. Shoot, about 4 years ago, I started knitting and I never finish a single scarf that I started (and there were about 4). So, I just worry that I am going to spend money on something that I am not going to do so then the money spent would be a waste.

She stated that Greg and I are not in a situation to be picky (don't you hate it when Mom's are right?) and that we should choose, otherwise we're going to be doing the same thing in another 6 weeks whereas we could have some stability if we were to choose the house or condo. Damnit, she's right. So, I called Greg and told him about the email from the realtor and the conversation I had with Mom and he pretty much agreed with what she said. Plus, I added bits of the conversation Greg and I had last night as we were talking about the house and moving in with his Mom, and one thing Greg mentioned was that he wants his own place. So, if the condo doesn't get sold, then Greg and I are going to apply.
In other news...
I'm thinking about starting a 'hobby', even though I know I won't be committed to it. But, I was thinking that I haven't done anything with all those pictures I've taken of Amelia. I don't have a photo book or anything. So, when Greg and I were at Target on Sunday, I went down the scrapbooking isle to take a gander at the options and such. Woah! That would take some serious time and dedication, either of which I don't know if I have. Shoot, about 4 years ago, I started knitting and I never finish a single scarf that I started (and there were about 4). So, I just worry that I am going to spend money on something that I am not going to do so then the money spent would be a waste.

Eh, Nothing to Say
After work and getting Amelia, I went to the post office to get a form to cancel my change of address request and then went to Safeway to buy baby spoons.
It was about 7:30 by the time I got home. And, no sooner than I get home comes in Greg with dinner! Aww, isn't he the greatest! He decided to come be with me; even though he wouldn't stay the night nor go upstairs to lay in bed with me and pet me. But, he did hang out with me and my brother for about two hours.
When it was time for Greg to leave, I walked outside to his car with him and we stood there chatting for about 15 minutes. We talked about our possibilities, such as moving to Churchton and living there rent free but commuting at least an hour each way to work; searching more aggressivly and cutting out a few requierments that we previously set (such as getting a one bedroom apartment instead of two and not looking for an apartment with a washer/dryer in it); and if we're unable to find something by August, I, along with Amelia, move in with Greg and his family. The only good thing about the last possibility is that the rent will be cheap, Greg's room is big enough for the three of us, and we're going to be saving money on gas. It's a plus, but not enough to make me completely happy. What would make me completely happy is to have a place to call home with Greg. That's all that I want right now.
This morning, on my way to work, I thought about what I could do with my paycheck. Since we're not moving in next week, I don't have to save for the first months rent and whatnot and my brother said that I don't have to pay rent for July. So, first I thought about buying a laptop. I've been wanting to buy a new computer for nearly two years now. And, I want a laptop. Greg has a nice computer that he bought last year, but it's not a laptop. But, I nixed that idea because it would be too costly. Then I thought about buying myself a digital camera; another item that I've been wanting to buy for a little under a year now. By the time I got to work, I had completely forgotten about my future camera purchase, and instead I went through all the bills that I can pay online and paid everything! I paid the BG&E bill, cell phone, credit card, cable, Greg's Dell account (prepaying for my future laptop!), babysitter, car and groceries. When I total the amount I just paid for all of the above, it comes to over a thousand dollars! So much for the camera. But, at least I paid off a few balances and brought a few accounts to current. So, in the end, it was probably best that I spent the money on bills rather than a camera. At least when Greg and I are able to finally move in togehter, everything will be current.
But, I so wanted to buy myself a new toy!
Eh. I'm still going to spend some money on me today or Saturday. Remember, I have a pool party that I am going to on Sunday!
It's been a while since I bought myself things. No, wait. Scratch that last statement; I bought myself a new purse on June 9th. Other than that, it's been a long while. Usually, I need my mom to get me clothes, otherwise I won't buy any. I feel guilty if I spend money on myself, even if it's something that I need.
I would love to treat myself to a nice eye waxing, since it's been over six months since I had my eyes done, and maybe get my nails done or something. I've never had a pedicure before; I'm weird about my feet and strangers touching them. Sometimes I wish I was more girly and cared about my hair, wore make-up, and did all the girly things; but, then again, I can see the benefits of not being so girly, mainly not spending all my money. I guess you could say that I am a simple girl that likes to live a simple life. Damn curious to see how Amelia is going to be when she gets older!
I received and email from my good friend, Daniel, informing me that he's coming up next weekend! I'm so excited to see Daniel. Last time I saw him was in September. That was an interesting night, to say the least. I believe I was one of two straight people for a gay birthday party! But, I did have a lot of fun.
I've been working on this blog for over six hours! It's been pretty slow today, so I read the newspaper (specifically about the O's and searching for a place to rent), chatted with the manager a bit, did some actual work, was told a secret about the company and what they are changing (which will be shared with everyone else next Thursday or Friday), talked to my Mom on the phone, did a short text messaging chat with Melissa, and so much more!
In any event, I am done. I am sleepy, and there are 17 minutes left for the work day.
