And my baby boy is going to  be 3 on Monday.  We had his party today, which he loved.  My friend Patti brought her kids over, and they're both a bit older than Kellen, but he adores them anyways.  She felt bad cause she forgot about his party until I called her this morning and reminded her, and she hadn't gotten him anything, but the kid's got more than enough stuff.  Her kids playing with him was more than enough for him. 

Especially with the plethora of gifts from me, mom and Terry.  Terry got him this shake and go race track with cars, BIG hit... Mom got him a little tykes t-ball/pitcher thingy and a spongebob ball that you bounce on.  I got him some movies, and some old cartoons on dvd, and a remote control dodge ram, and a backpack and some big boy cups and stuff like that.

He's started sitting on the potty, but he hasn't used it yet... But hey, it's a start.

Well, I'm home... I spent the whole week by myself in New Orleans... Loaffy didn't show at the airport (long story, let's just say he blew it), so I rented a limo (35 dollars for the limo, 28 for a taxi, 13 for the airport shuttle with a huge line) and proceeded to wander around the city on my own for the week.

New Orleans is beautiful.  I fell in love with the city and I honestly can't wait to go back.  Most of the tours I took were walking tours, with Haunted History Tours.   I'm actually thinking about moving down that way, if I can find a decent job and benefits and such.

Will post pics as soon as my stuff that I shipped arrives, and I get the others developed.   But the city was SO wonderful.  I miss it:(

Well, only a few more days and I'll be in New Orleans, with Loaffy.  We'll see how well this week goes before anything else happens there, but it's at least nice to have a return to a friendship with him.  We're doing a lot better at being friends this time around. 

I've finally gotten all my laundry done, so I can finish my clothes packing tonight and tomorrow, after work.  Then Sunday, I can devote to Kellen after I get home at 2, and then finish up my packing aside from the little things I need to pack immediately after use on Monday.  My plane leaves the local airport at 9:40 am, and I'll be in New Orleans around 1pm central time.

*bounces around excitedly*

I had to go swimsuit shopping today, normally a dreaded event, but the one I bought last summer was just way too big on top...

So I go.. and the one I got is a smaller size than I've had in FOUR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY me!

Found by Sena over at Pepsilovers and yeah, I had to copycat. 

You Are 47% American

America: You don't love it or want to leave it. But you wouldn't mind giving it an extreme make over. On the 4th of July, you'll fly a freak flag instead... And give Uncle Sam a sucker punch!

See, I told y'all... I'm not a typical American... lol

Ok, after five days of antibiotics, I'm feeling muchly better... Still blowing my nose hella lots and some coughing, and my voice is yet to return to normal, but I am much better anyways.

Kellen is on his final day of antibiotic eye drops, all that gunk was apparently from an eye infection.. Lovely.  He also has an ear infection.  So we're on day 5 of the amoxicillin too.  He's much more pleasant.

We've had him out in his pool a bit, he loves to splash around in there.  Though he wasn't real sure of it at first. 

And he's going camping this weekend with my mom and her boyfriend.  Which means I'm walking to and from work, but whatever.. *shrugs*  I'm sure I can talk someone into giving me a ride home....

And that guy from a few weeks ago... We went riding last night.  Only for a little bit tho... Well.. more riding then parking than just riding... But y'all get the idea.  He dropped me off just after midnight, so he could go get some sleep before his doc's appointment this morning and then he's working a 12 hour shift tonight...  Yeah, he'll get home about half an hour to an hour before I have to get up for work...  Fun... And I'll get home from work as he'll be going into work for another 12 hour shift... Yeah... kinda makes anything more than casual hard to do...

But I think I like casual.  I think I like being friends with benefits/whatever you wanna call it for right now.

Well, I'm sick... Damned colds.. It hit Kellen, then me and my mom at the same time.  So yeah, while I'm still online as much as ever, I so have no energy to really do anything that requires thought...

And yes, I know this means I'm probably courting a smack from Sena, but I'm hoping she'll be understanding.  I am thinking on it, even if I'm not actually doing it yet...

Also am starting to prepare a bit for my vacation.  I'm going to New Orleans for a week... I can't wait, I badly need to get away.

an update...

There is this really cute guy who comes into the store for coffee pretty much daily.  We started flirting a little... I usually call him sunshine.  And one day while poking around the net, I stumbled across him on hi5.  So then we started talking on there and on yahoo...  We were going to hang out Friday, but stuff happened... So last night, he got home from work early, which is like anytime before 3am for him... And by 2:30 am, we were hanging out in my backyard, on a wet porch swing (thunderstorms all day), and by 3 we were making out fairly heavily.  But he had to go at like 10 to 4, so he could be home before his dad got up... 

Yeah, I dunno if it means anything or if we're just going for the fuckbuddies concept... But man, it felt so good to be held and kissed...  It's been far too long a drought in that aspect for me...

I talked to Loaffy last night, for the first time since January.  I think it did us both some good, though I can't say what is going to happen next.  We're not back together and it would take a hell of a lot for me to agree to give him another chance, especially while he's still with this other girl.  Who just happens to still be married... And she's pregnant.. with Loaffy's kid... Her husband's deployed overseas, but he's home on R&R now.  I told him flat out he's being played, but it's his life, his choice.  The sad part... I know he deserves whatever he gets (and he knows it too), but damned if I don't still care.  Can we just permanently tattoo sucker on my forehead?

As for Kev... I don't know what to think, he's not very good about making time to even email me or leave me offlines or anything.  He's done a little, but I so need to feel like I'm a priority before I'll be anything more than his friend.  But oh well... Y'know, I don't even know what I want right now.  I would love to have an actual relationship with Keven, when he's home and we're both able to give each other what we need.

Anyways... life's about the same, not really any changes...
