his love's like rain on a tin roof
i meant to do this yesterday, but i was exhausted, and went to bed early.
so, my weekend. first off, i must really love this boy of mine, because i volunteered to do chores for him while he was at work. me, doing chores, of my own volition. amazing, i know. anyways, i learned while i am quite adept at laundry and vacuuming...me and mopping, not so much. i'm used to one step chores...like, put laundry in machine, and go. i don't sort, because i wash everything in cold water anyhow. so me and mopping, i forget about the whole sweeping beforehand business, so i had to go back after the floor dried and vacuum up the little bits o' stuff. but all in all, not bad.
and then, the highlight of my weekend. the moment i have been waiting for, probably since philip bought his house a year ago and started talking about fixing up the basement.
because now, it's fixed. and i was such a good girl, and waited until he got home from work so he could properly show it to me. and let me just say, it is AMAZING. the walls look great, the ceiling looks great, the floors are great, the bar and barback are awesome in there...it's phenomenal. i can't believe he did it himself, with the help of some friends of course. it looks like a real room!! it's going to be great, and i'm so proud of him for it.
karaoke in a hole in the wall bar in the middle of nowhere jefferson, GA....pretty fun. granted, i stuck with my standard favorite, a little old-school "baby got back". and of course, april and i started belting other songs along with singers once we'd had a few. but it was so much fun, even though the drive was kinda long.
and then came saturday. which, in theory, could have been a weird situation, even though we've been together almost a year and a half. because philip's whole family was visiting. mom, dad in from japan, brother and sister. now, i get along great with his mom and siblings, and see them a lot in columbus when he's here. but the whole family...poses a different sort of trepidation. and then they got here, and we ran errands, and i realized something that made me stop. it gets more and more that i realize that they are starting to feel like my family too. it's a strange sensation, thinking of people in the same way as your blood relatives...but it's there.
and just for the record, i do not look forward to tomorrow, and primaries in alabama in the least. few days are as lame in the news world as election days.
