DLand - Bibliophile and a Pack Rat

I'm such a dork. I ordered these books from Amazon and was seduced by the cheap shipping offer. So I said, "I'm a patient person. This will be fine." Know thyself, Genie. I'm pretty patient when it comes to some things but other things I have to have yesterday. So I resisted and resisted and finally broke down yesterday and bought them at Barnes & Nobles in the flesh ... or pulp ... or print ... or ... whatever. I even stood in a fairly long line for them. And of course, they arrive today. But dangit, I got to read them last night! I reiterate, I'm such a dork. But now I'm a dork with two copies of several books. Go me. Yes, I know I could return them to B&N, but I think I'll just squirrel them away as gifts. Share the love, share the dorkiness.

DLand - Brought to You by the Letters F .. E ... H

Welcome to GenieAlisa's page. The word for the day is "feh". I'm not sure if there is a better word. What do you say when you're angry and lonely and sad and confused and hurt and disappointed and mad as hell and not going to take it anymore (not necessarily in that order or even about the same topic)? Hmm. I guess, I just sigh and say "feh." I suppose a mundane update is in order. Woke up and looked at the clock. It said 10:00 on the dot. I realized that meant it was actually 11:00. I also realized that I had slept for a good 11 hours. Go me. About five minutes after that, my cell phone gave it's distinctive pidgeon ring saying that Jeremy was checking in on me. I dragged my butt out of bed and he came over about 30 minutes later. We attempted to go kite flying but the wind didn't cooperate. He left for a meeting with his car dudes and I headed home to putter. Sarah and I took a shower together and her coat is looking a lot better for it. My "coat" is looking moderately okay because of it.

Went out and bought some music. Pink, Jimmy Eat World, Mavericks, George Carlin and Chris Isaak to be specific. Headed back to the house to do the taxes. We owed some on federal but had a small refund for state taxes. Talked to Daddy for a bit (he was fixing the siding on the house). Went to office to pick up some papers. Stopped at 7-11 for ... you know ... stuff ... Headed back to the apartment to putter. Painted my toes and fingernails (Revlon calls the color "Love Her Madly", but I would just call it dark red). Yep. Got a lot done today.

Talked on the phone for hours with various folks. All in all not so bad of a day. But still just feeling blah. I'm always the girl with a plan. And when I don't necessarily have a plan or all the answers, life starts to get kinda crazy for me. Gah.

But I'm still hanging in there. There's still a spark in me.

DLand - My Hot Date

I went on a date last night. Jeremy and I didn't really discuss whether seeing other people during the separation would be okay but he didn't seem to mind when I told him about it today. It wasn't much of a date since we didn't go out. I just drove over to his place and we watched movies and cuddled on the couch. We talked about songs he likes and he seemed really interested in my insulin pump and belly ring. We seem to have a lot of common interests too. There was even a tickle fight! He's shorter than me, which is something I don't find that attractive in men, but he's really athletic - a wrestler, and basketball player and hockey fan. And I don't normally go out with younger men, but he was really mature for his age.

We had to cut the date short at around 9 as he had to go to bed (he gets up early). But I did get a goodnight kiss (*giggle*). I really like this guy and hope I can see him again soon. We'll see if his Mom and Dad will let us have a second date soon.
