Gypsy Design :: The Stew

Lewis Black and Fogo de Chao. a good combination. Never been to Fogo de Chao, the name actually frightened me at first. Those who know me know that I am a food fraidy cat, but ohhhhhhhh I was so pleseantly surprised. This place rocks and then to top it off we went to see Lewis Black....I have to say cuteboy is just too awesome himself the sweetie. It's very cute to see the way he enjoys making plans and planning out things for us to do. I have to say I love it in that he knows just enough new stuff to put in where i don't feel overwhelmed. I personally think he may be a closet travel agent but he's so good at so many other things too. Just another talent I guess. He's embarkingon the latest trip and it will be a totaly fun trip if everyone comes together for it. I'll refrain from saying more as I don't want to jinx it.

On the whole, I've had to literally stop myself to remember how I'm totally feeling at leasst once a day. I'm happy. that's right, you heard me, I'm happy. Even the little things that i still kinda bitch about really don't bug as much as they normally would have. I guess I've been afraid to admit it though out of fear of once again jinxing what i have. me superstitious? and why is my handle artjynx? coincidence? hrmmm. 

cuteboy showed me some of the pictures from his parents online album....yes i gushed at the little boy pics. It made me a little sad though in that my parents don't do that. or maybe they did a long time ago, but that one fateful car accident certainly did a doozy on my family and my future that's for sure. Accident, never a total recovery, divorce, watching my mom date, watching her remarry, dealing with a step parent....these may be normal things for kids now, but I kinda feel sorry for them. it sucks.  I want what cuteboy had. people you know you can depend on, who love being with each other even if it's a mundane thing they're doing. that's awesome...I want to be boring with you sweetie..:) It may make me a little sad, but i'm so glad he's sharing it with me. I'm a little reluctant to share my stuff though it's just too sad and no one likes sad. It's a part of who I am though and I need to get it to a place where i can just say "yeah there it is...it sucked, but everything is so much better now". so thank you, cuteboy...i<3 You!

so....what's it cost when you're vet moves to alaska leaving you without means to get to your records? $187 freakin dollars that's what. *sigh* I love my puppies to pieces. daresay they are my kids because frankly i don't know if real human kids will ever be in the cards for me. so 187 dollars later, the girls now have a 6 month supply of heartguard, updated parvo shots, and a diagnosis of negative on heartworms (a test they required before they would sell me the heartguard). oh and thanks to my poor math skills i realized i made a mistake on maisy's birthday thus making her 8 years old instead of 6 which the vet said she was getting overweight and to possibly put her on geriatric food. I'm sure that made maisy's day. sorry sweetie, you'll always be my puppy. so i've determined it was the math mistake and she's really not old.

so it means i most likely will not be getting my hands on an iphone for at least a month. ah well. i need other things too but y'know it'll just keep me going on the freelance. and that just keeps my mind from wandering too far to the left and going over the edge with anxiety anyway.

ah people. had me a good weekend. actually, for the most part, i is quite content. which of course causes me to worry...like...i'm due for the other shoe to drop or something. actually it's much better than usual. I've been reading "The last lecture" by David Pausch and he really is quite an inspiring individual. It's helping me anyway to appreciate the little things and get more joy out of what i do have than worry about what i don't. I do have a lot to be thankful for as i have two precious little dogs a nice place to call my own and an awesome guy in my life now that i adore. I have the ability to be creative and actually get compensated for it. so life is good. :)
