I'm way overdue for an update but I don't want to bog you (or myself) down with whiny relationship stuff. Things with me and C are good and we're both confident that we're in this for the long haul and will work out any issues we may have as maturely as possible. So, onward to something lighthearted...

I have Spring Fever and it rocks. The winter sucked ass and I'm so glad it's behind us. I even got my free cone at Ben & Jerry's yesterday and ate it while walking to the T on my way home last night. Yay! I was of course only allowed this treat because it was free (hey, free food is fat- and calorie-free) and because I have gone to the gym 17 times in April. Yay me. I know, I know, lots of people go more often than I do and even go on the weekends (I never, ever, ever do) and work out longer and harder but I'm pleased with myself for getting back into the swing of it and for sticking with it. Plus, I can sort of see and feel the results. It's not a very noticeable change, C probably doesn't perceive it, much less anyone else less intimately familiar with my body, but I feel somewhat firmer and better about myself. That's good.

My pals and I tried to plan an al fresco drinking session for yesterday but it turns out that an episode of "Buffy" is much more important than social interaction so we are going tonight instead but it's not warm enough for sitting outdoors. Whatever. Hey, even I tape "Survivor" so that I can have a night out. But that's just me.

C started his new job this week and after he gets into the swing of things and gets his schedule down pat and all, I think we'll be seeing more of each other. Part of the deal with the new job is that he told his ex-wife (at least I think he told her) that he could no longer take the boys on Thursdays. That will free him up a bit once it takes effect (he's giving her time to make arrangements). Plus, he no longer needs to get up at 3:45 every morning for work. I honestly have no idea how he did that for so long. I go to bed at around the same time as him, sometimes earlier, and I still have trouble getting up when the alarm goes off at 6:00. Uuuugh, I hate it! So, I'm kind of looking forward to spending more time with C but trying not to get my hopes up.

Here's a funny story that I'll close with: recently, C and I watched part of an (ahem) *adult film* just for kicks and I just kept the video on top of my entertainment unit. Friday night my married couple friends were picking me up for a play ( The Bad Seed) but were a bit early so they came in. As I was scurrying around, putting on my shoes and stuff, the husband saw the tape and made a comment. I was kind of embarrassed, to say the least! At least it wasn't my parents who stopped by, jeez!!! After the play, which was held in a gay leather bar, I was chatting on the sidewalk with a friend of ours while the married couple waited for me. As I ran back to them apologetically, they pointed to the porn shop next to the club and asked if I needed to run in and pick up a few things. Ha ha, very funny.
