my big long blog

sorry i disappeared - friday ended up being a lot longer than i thought. we got all these age matched control samples for a study that was done last year - and it took a very long time. as in - i left the lab at about 8:30pm Friday night. I didn't come in until 11:30ish because the samples wouldn't be here until then and i knew it would be a late night - but still! I never even turned on my computer because I only had about a 15 minute break (that i spent getting something to drink from the cafeteria).

soooo - thursday night. I got home at sixish. he met me at the door and told me to close my eyes and turned off all the lights - he had cleaned my room so that he could cover every available surface with little candles - including above the door frames. he took of the door to the bathroom and moved all the stuff out of there too and that was covered with candles - including a cluster that spelled out I heart U. he had unhooked the shower and duct taped the drain and set up a bubble bath for me and had gotten a chocolate fondue set, so i had chocolate fondue (pound cake, strawberries, bananas and shortbread cookies). he got milk and dark chocolate and mixed it together with baileys - so it was damn good fondue! he made me a martini while i was still soaking :) after about an hour in the tub (getting fed fondue the whole time) and i got out and got a big long massage :) Then, he made us dinner - steak and mashed potatoes. and made me another martini (the first was one with baileys and frangelico and kahula and vanilla vodka and espresso and half and half. the second was just a normal espresso martini - so i could compare the two) we watched amorres perros while we ate (a movie i hadn't seen until then) and he fell asleep on my lap on the couch watching the movie. we went to bed . . .and went to sleep a little while after that ;)

my weekend was great! and living together? ummm - AWESOME! i was relaxed and happy the whole time. i actually felt my stress level increase as 2:00pm grew closer on Sunday. all week, we've cooked together. i'll help chop and get things ready for the recipe - then he deals with the cooking part while i do dishes. we were happy together the whole time :)

This thursday is when i leave for Florida - so i won't have that much time to miss spending every waking moment with him.

so, now i need to prepare for my fist lab meetings this thursday. i'm nervous to say the least.
