it's May and not even early May....
well apparently i just had nothing to write about in April....other than work, sleep, have a really great one year anniversary with cute boy (ok dating anniversary, but it counts, right?) met the cuteboy's parents...twas hard not to totally thank them for having such a sweet awesome son. saw spamalot during that day, went to Port Aransas to commemorate said anniversary (was our first official date thingy where told mr. sweetpatooty I "like-liked" him) did i mention I'm in the 6th grade? meh we get each other on this goofy level and it works for us so nyah! I'll try to get some pics up here soon.
so we're caught up to May where i have to begin ranting about really obnoxious neighbors and my crappy HOA. I finally got an opportunity to do something nice by getting a new deck and fence and oh yes and attractive shade arbor mind you. but apparently there is an immodicum of mediocrity that must be maintained in my complex where corrugated metal is considered more attractive than a solid cedar shade arbor with three levels. cna't go around making everyone else's house look like crap...noooooo. for some reason certain individuals think HOA is a place for power, uhm yeah whatever there's no way in hell people are gonna allow you to remove their existing hideous shade thingysbut by all means let's prevent something pretty. I did get my deck and fence though which is something as they stake ownership of it but never maintain them as they're supposed to . the only thing they seem capable of doing is writing snotty letters and having more meetings than necessary because oh we can't communicate via the internet...noooooo. got to have everyone in person, but don't let them know what's going on beforehand...surprise them. sooo stupid. i was interested but frankly i can't work within their meeting filled schedules so i'm no longer caring anymore. they've shunned me and my good taste and now they can just rot.
after that though, or rather during this whole deck mess, i got to go to the virgin islands thanks to a friend of his patootiness. Unfortunately, stress doesn't help me and i got sick right before, during the trip and still even nowi'm trying to get over this ick. we had fu, but i think i need to practice relaxing. i'm not used to it. i thrive on stress and routine and ritual...any deviation from that tends to throw me.
