I haven't posted much this weekend, but there's a reason for that: Freddie made a surprise visit down. We weren't planning on him coming down, but since he has no classes on Fridays and since he missed me so much (awww), he left Thursday night. He got here about 130 in the morning. Luckily, he had called me before he left, so that even though he has a key, this way I would know it was him and not some intruder and punch him or smack him with something when I realized he was beside my bed.
He came into the apartment, put his stuff in the living room, undressed and came to bed. I was already asleep, but I woke up when I heard him in the bedroom. We were up for about an hour or so. Then we went to sleep.
I still had to get up for work on Friday. And work itself was....well not that great. Kinda irritating, actually, even though I had training for most of the morning. One co-worker of mine was just all OVER my nerves. And I was tired and a bit cranky to begin with. Somehow, I made it through.
Friday evening, Freddie and I spend here. We ordered a pizza, and watched some TV and stuff. We didn't actually do a whole lot, cause as I said, i was cranky and bitchy and pissy. But we got to BE together on the couch while watching TV and stuff, so that made it kinda okay.
Saturday, naturally, I still had to go to work. Work was better Satruday: there are less people working Saturdays, less co-workers and bosses, and so there's less people there to act like fools and try to fuck up my day. And work itself was less hectic. And I had had a good night's sleep the night before. (I went to bed before Freddie, and didn't wake up when he came to bed. i did know he was there about 330 when I woke up a bit to roll over and my arm ended up draped across his shoulder and chest. Awww...)
So when I got home, the first thing I did was apologize to Freddie for my bad attitude last night, and quite sweetly, he accepted. After some playing and showering, we headed outside. We went to Target so I could get a new toaster. It seems I had a Pop Tart in my old one, and it fell apart and big chunks of it went to teh bottom, where they'd burn and make a horrible smell if i used it again. And plus, the toaster is one I bought when i moved in here...ten years ago. Surely, ten years is time enough to get a new toaster.
After Target, we went to the mall, and ate at Garfields. had a great meal. Had a really cute and funny waitress, Meg. She was a sweetie. At the end, she wished us a FABulous night..kinda emphasizing it. Freddie and I both noticed the extra emphasis she put on it, so perhaps, I was a bit more of a flaming queen than i had intended.
After this, we came home and watched two more episodes of Queer As Folk. I love watching it again, cause I can see how much the characters changed from the beginning of the series to the end of it. And I love watching it with Freddie, cause since he's seeing it all for the first time, I can kinda see it that way and experience it for the first time all over again.
When i got up this morning, the weather was clear, but within and hour, it was snowing. And snowing pretty quickly too. No ice though, thank God. being the worrywart that I am, and seeing as how Freddie had a three hour drive ahead of him in unknown weather conditions, I was kinda insistent he leave earlier than we had planned. So by about 1100am, he was all packed up and on hisway back to school. He called about 200 and told me he was back safely.
i spent the rest of the afternoon reading, downloading porn, and watching a 3 hour docunmentary on Alexander The Great...although I probably slept through about half of it total. And then I realized I hadn't posted much, so i thought I better rectify that situation. ANd here we are.
I took some photos out the door to my balcony of the snow falling earlier, so you can see how pretty it all was.
The kinda blurriness to them is the screen I had to take the photos through.

When I moved into the apartment ten years ago, Sprint was my local carrier. They remained so until late last summer when they became Embarq...wherever the hell they got that name from. I got a cable modem the end of October and canceled my home phone, as I didn't need it, since I use my cellphone for all my calls anyway. I paid the last Embarq bill I had here and figured that would be the end of it.
This would be Missy Parispeking on Ghostie's lap. She's probably scoping out the graham crackers Abby was eating. By my count, Missy Parispeking got three graham crackers, at least one of those cheesey peanut butter crackers, and possibly the crust of a slice of pizza.
This is Katie Parispeking during or post-playing with me. I know that because I'd put my hand on her chest, wiggle here back and forth and make this growling noise. She'd wrap her hands around mine, wrap her lets and feet around my arm and laugh and giggle herself silly.
This is Missy Parispeking on my lap. As you can see her collar is purple. Purely coincidental I'm sure, but a small feature I noticed nonetheless.
This is Missy Parispeking again. But in addition, Abby's "stuffed Missy" is with her. Uncanny how similar they look, eh? twins?
I know, I know, there's not much snow there, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was the thick sheet of ice covering it...and everything else. The ice supported my weight as I walked across it.
Again, it doesn't look like much, but it was like solid, and difficult to break apart and clear away. I took several days for both of us to get our cars out onto the road again.
