ings are going well-ish here in cleveland. i won't say they are phenominal b/c i have been getting really homesick. not so much for home as for jason who i really miss. i miss having a friend around who really fully knows me. but i am still very happy and very much looking forward to all the good things that are coming my way....
i enjoy working (even if it is for corp. coffee) and i am doing very well according to my manager / coworkers. apperantly, "anyone can learn coffee but not everyone can learn friendliness!" i guess my uberpeppy persona in conjunction with my obsessive compulsive orginizational skills really pay off.
also good: i think i finally started to make some of my own friends instead of just leeching off of brent - this makes me happy. Everyone out here is so nice and welcoming. i think also that i am going to make an effort to befriend some girls b/c almost everyone i was friends with in seattle was of the boyish variety. not that i don't get along great with guys (better actually...in general) but there is something i really miss about having girlfriends......
i guess one of the few things that doesn't really make me happy is the weather. on the scare beautiful days i have had to work but other then that it has been schkrefty. it was supposed to be 75 and sunny today - its cold and cloudy. it better be nice tomarrow b/c i could really use a day of basking before my ensuing annoying work schedual.
i do a lot of closing this coming week which is ok by me tho i'd so much rather open. due to schedualing i probably won't see *someone* again till friday. he is a busy busy grownup with realpeople responsailities...sometimes its hard for me to remember that and i catch myself getting persnickety when i shouldn't. we really don't spend an overabundance of time together and when we do its: he comes over around 8, i am cooking dinner, we eat dinner, do nothing for about an hour...maybe get coffee, walk, talk, clean, shower, etc....he goes to bed b/c he gets up early, i stay up for another few hours and then also go to bed. even tho its not necessarily out and about, exciting, or interesting to most people, its still oh so nice sharing a wee bit of my day to day and i value it so much. i admit i was REALLY worried about being overly codependant when i got here but thus far it hasn't been a problem. he helps me in 270720139710970 ways for which i am so incredibly grateful but i don't feel too much like he is the only thing in my life or as if i am taking over his entire existance.
in other nonexciting jovanathoughts: i miss my maddie a lot. i hope she comes this week, having her to spend time with will make me happy. plus, i cannot wait to see her and cleo interact. for christmas j got me this adorable stuffed westite which i love. cleo is scared of it. she thought it was another dog and wanted to play with it but i woudln't let her and put it up on a shelf. she stared at the westie for ages......when i pick up westie cleo goes nuts like my maddie used to for monkey#2. heh. now i have to keep westie in the closet (which she also stares at endlessly)for fear that the cleopottimus will maim my poor stuffed puppy. i wonder what she will make of the real thing? i have a fantatsic mental image of the ginormous cleoptra cowering before the adorable, but not so awsome, presence of my wee little white ratdog.
