when it rains, it pours

literally and figuratively it's pouring down on me in multiple facets...

i'm cold, it's raining, and all i want to do is curl up in bed for days and days on end. work is a jerk, and some one broke into my dad's van last night so i've been dealing with all of the bullshit that ensues today. no matter how much money i make/save, it always feels like i spend in excess. i'm fucking tired and cranky and thank goodness gracious almighty Xander has been so sweet to me (and PATIENT!) these past few days.

he's ordering us dinner right now, and after we eat i think we'll get snuggled and watch "Waitress" which arrived via Netflix this weekend. i heard it was cute, a bit of a chick flick, but he doesn't really care. actually, he probably does care to some extent but at this point will do anything if he thinks i'll stop whining for a bit. smart of him.

for those of you who've been wondering how the family meet and greet went, all went well! dad really took to Xander - i think they bonded over their previous blue collar construction jobs in their younger days. to tell you the truth, i don't really care what forged their friendship, i'm just glad all ended well. it took Jake a bit longer to warm up to Xander, but that was to be expected. by the end of the day the three of them were cracking jokes left and right.

food is on it's way. Cori and Xander, out.

the honeymoon is over

for those of you who don't already know, i made the big commitment and decided to let Xander move in with me. last night he brought all of his things over, i made space in my room for him, and my house became "our" house. i ran out to the grocery store to pick up some ice cream and a bottle of wine to celebrate our first night of living together, but when i came home i caught him red handed with Lindsay in her bed!

though they both claimed "nothing happened", i was furious with Xander. this was definitely not the way i envisioned the night unfolding. we talked about the situation for a long time, and his bottom line excuse was he was simply over exhausted from his afternoon romp with a few vamps at the dog park and was "waiting" in Lindsay's bed until i came back from the store. you were just waiting in her bed?!! give me a break. why didn't you wait in OUR bed?!! i decided to let him stay, but we slept on opposite sides of the bed, and i haven't spoken one word to him yet today. i'm afraid that i made a mistake.

this is to be a weekend of many firsts. today Xander will meet my family for the first time. i'm not going to lie, i'm a little nervous! not only do i have introduce him to dad and Jake, but the entire Quinones family and Ray and Karen will be there, as well. i will try my best to put last night behind us, and i hope today pans out better than last night did, or i'm not sure how long i'll be able to do this...
