It's been a really long time...

So...it's been a really long time since I've posted to this. I know. You can yell at me. I can take it.

I'll try to keep this somewhat brief as I have a doctor's appointment in a bit, but I wanted to keep you updated on current events.

Per the last blog entry, "Grace searching for her Will." Yeah, well. it figures that I currently have pretty much the best guy on the planet right now. And yes, I fully realize that I am biased, but whatever. He is. If you ever meet Rob, you'll find out why. But for now, I'm going to brag and tell you why. For one, he spoils me. Rotten. Not to say I don't spoil him back, but it's nice to finally have a boyfriend who isn't worried about who's going to pay the bill at dinner. He actually gets pissed off if I try to pay. A girl likes that. NOT because I want him to pay all the time (my reflexes are better so I can grab the check faster and oftentimes DO, in fact, pay--whether he gets pissed off or not), but because it's just plain nice to have a guy who wants to take you out to a nice place and treat you like you're special. I was lucky if my two significant exes paid at Wendy's. I'm getting old and I'm sick of going "dutch."

He is also extremely thoughtful. I travel to Canada a lot for my new job. When I realized I had a trip the next day with no Canadian money to pay the tolls once I got there, I mentioned in passing how I'd just have to get some money once I got to the border. No big deal. Well, the next day, I find a bunch of Canadian quarters on my desk. And get this--when I mentioned (yet again, in passing--I swear) how I'd like to go to Chicago someday and go to a Red Sox/White Sox game, guess who surprised me with a trip the next weekend? And I know this makes him sound as if he's loaded, but he's not. He does okay, but he's jsut really, really into being thoughtful. Well, Karen has noticed.

Finally, after a mere two months of going out, Rob makes comments about the future. And it SEEMS anyway, as if his future includes me with the way he talks. Before, with other guys, this would have scared me, as it IS admittedly awfully quick to be talking like that. But with him, it's different and I like it.


So, yeah. I'm happier than I've been in a long, long time. And I like it. Lots.

As I mentioned before, I have a new job. I'm a marketing coordinator for an oil company (you can boo now). If it makes you feel any better, I don't see myself there long-term. The people I work with are nice for the most part, but really...well...lame. It's hardly an exciting company. I can go hours with no one even TALKING to me. It's a far cry from my old office, where we used to go out for drinks regularly at lunch and swear at each other. I can't tell you how many times I told my boss to fuck off. Damn. I never thought I'd say I miss my old job, but...I do. Mainly, I miss the people. Because the work sure as hell wasn't challenging. So anyway, I think I'm going to have to think about leaving if things don't improve a bit. I've only been there for 3 months, so I'll give it at least another 3 before I start looking again.

But other than those two major events, nothing else new really. I promise I will keep updating you more frequently, and I'll come up with some funny stories on a more regular basis.
