La la la...

Still lots of talking with CS. Things are going swimmingly.

Monday: We met up at Doc Watson's. We had some drinks. I kissed him (yes, I initiated it.) We talked a lot. We laughed a lot. We're getting married tomorrow. Life is beautiful.

Tuesday: I didn't get to see him. But we talked for a few hours again. We talked music. We agreed on some. That was nice.

I'm hoping to see him tonight. He wants to see Jeff Stewart. Jeff just happens to be a good friend of mine and my favorite person for live music (besides myself of course!)

So...lately I feel like a brand new person. Right when Troy left, my heat was out. Stupid furnace had to be replaced. That was done on Saturday this week. Now...I found this to be a pain in the ass because I just wanted to get the house situated after Troy left. However, it really turned out to be a blessing. It allowed me to not dwell on Troy leaving. Instead, I went and stayed at Jenny's house. It made me kinda get to like Dan (her husband) a little better. It allowed them to have a taste of parenthood. Most importantly, it allowed me to spend time with one of my best friends at a time when I really needed her (whether I knew it or not.)

So by the time it was done on Saturday, I was happy to be home. I was happy to start putting together my new entertainment center. I was happy to be warm in my house. I was happy to start my new life.

I played on Saturday. I got on stage with a drink in my hand. I proceeded to drink a few more and a few shots. I was pretty blitzed but I was having a blast. I felt kinda like my old self, but better too. I was on stage, I was dancing, I was kicking ass and taking names.

I also got a couple phone numbers from cute boys.

Cute boy JS: PLAYA! But super cute. With super dimples. He would just be a for fun kinda guy.
Cute boy CS: Very cute. Very nice. I actually noticed him first at a gig a month or so ago. I kept asking my guitar player about him. Turns out he didn't know him but he knew a guy he was with. He found out his name and stuff. And CS, happened to be interested in me a little too. CS and I did some talking at the gig Saturday. Then went to breakfast with my friends. Then talked outside for two hours. When we finally decided that we should leave (at 6:30), he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. How cute?! Then we texted a little on Sunday. And talked Sunday night for five hours. (I'm pretty sure I haven't talked on the phone that long since I was in high school.) Anyway, he's a pretty good guy. I'm looking forward to seeing him again. I'm so new to this stuff again, it's just weird. But it's nice to feel liked. It's been a while for that. Even if Troy did just move out a week ago.

Almost free

The boyfriend leaves on Saturday. I will not be present to watch him leave. It's hard but I think I'm going to be just fine. I'm going out with my girls tonight, this makes me happy. I'm playing acoustic at Ottawa Tavern tomorrow, this also makes me happy.

My best friend, Sarah, is moving in on the 20th. This makes me very happy. We're going to have dance parties in our living room and we're going to get drunk and play Mall Madness. I know..you're jealous!
