stomach bug blues

Cutest...Ninjas...EVER!!!

Cory bought me and himself some under armour so we can ride like ninjas at night in the cold...and still be warm and stealthy!

So this weekend would have been a pretty great one had I not gotten some weird stomach bug. Friday night Cory and I went out to eat at Pepperoni Grill (which was okay...not too exciting). It was kind of weird cause I was sitting in the booth, looking at the menu and then all of a suddon I see this figure with dark hair, out of the corner of my eye, (that's clearly not Cory because he's sitting accross from me) sit down next to me and put their arm around me...freaked me out. I jumped and turned red (I guess because I was about to go into attack mode)...Turns out, it's my old team mate Alley from my old derby team Cell Block 9. She had died her hair...haven't seen her in a while. Chatted a bit with her about her new puppy, found out officially that she had retired from derby (heard about it, but wasn't sure). I didn't really ask her why, because it's none of my business and quite frankly, it was going to happen eventually. I have my suspicions though.

then after eating we went to Wal Mart, looked at toys, bought a new bra and some new undies (I desperately needed those!) and then rented a red box movie, Surfer Dudes...don't watch it. Not worth it. I mean, watch it if it's on TV but don't waste your money on it.

Then Saturday Morning we woke up at 8:30, went to Classen Grill for breakfast (we do this every Sat Morning). This time Arie (Cory's roomie) went with us. Arie is fun...I love that guy. After that my tummy started hurting, but I didn't read too much into it and just kept on with my day. So as we're leaving Classen Grill, Arie throws out the idea of mimosas. Now I'm not going to turn down a Saturday morning breakfast party party so I jump on it! We go and get some OJ, head back to the house, and start in on the Mimosas! Boy were they good. They were not good for my tummy however, but we'll get to that. So I'm enjoying this delicious beverage while curling my hair for my photo shoot for derby, and then K Real stops by. So we hang out for a little with K and then head on over to the shoot.

Oh, almost forgot, prior to the shoot, post mimosa, I started drinking beer. Chocolate Stout to be exact (no shit beer for me)...don't forget about my tummy now.

We get to the Shoot, and there's Princess...looking hot as ever, and then I do my photos...and let me tell you, I'm not a very good model! Not only was I drunk but I was super weird around the photographers (one was Sally Strych9's hubby). Hopefully mine turned out okay though. Then Deuce shows up for her photo, and we hang around for a bit and I drink ANOTHER beer.

After about 15 minutes (and running back to Cory's house to grab my other uniform for our newbies photos) We head on over to the Olive Branch for lunch.

About this time, I'm pretty drunk, my tummy is growling at me, and we're about to eat some Greek Food? What am I thinking? Let me tell you, that was the best damn hummus, falafel, and gyro I've ever had.

After eating we head on over to K Reals because he has to get ready for work, and we listen to some records. We got to hear the new Madlib (which is fantastic as always), and then we watched K Real spin for a little while. I guess he got a bunch of old records from his mom and he was mixing them in with the Madlib...sounded AWESOME!

K Real goes to work, we go back to Cory's and by this time, my stomach feels like it's trying to detatch itself from my body. I swear I wouldn't have been surprised if an alien like in Alien the movie ripped out of my body! So I lay down (it's like 4ish) and take a nap. Luckily I have the greatest boo ever...he layed with me and slept too. We woke up around 6ish, and contemplated going out...but I still felt extremely bad so we stayed in, watched another movie, and went to bed.

Then this morning we woke up at 8 (again) and my stomach was still hurting. It was a weird hurt though so I ate some cereal with some blue berries and some OJ, and tried to get my day started...but my stomach just wouldn't quit. Went to Target with Cory and tried on a swim suit, which was a bad idea because I felt so crappy...then we went to Office Depot so he could by a new fancy officey chair. He got a pretty nice brown leather one that was 50% off...so he only spent 80 bucks. Then we went to get some lunch because he was hungry...and I thought I could atleast eat some soup...not so much the case. I ate half of the soup and seriously couldn't eat anymore. So we cut lunch short and went to Crest to get some sparkling mineral water (seems to be a staple in our beverage intake)...He thought the bubbles would help my tummy. He wanted me to get 7up...but I hate 7up and sprite and all of those sodas.

We went back to his house, I curled up on the couch and watched No Country For Old Men and fell asleep. After I woke up, I came home. My tummy feels a lot better, but is still a little funky.

We had a talk again today about Colorado. I told him that I needed re assurance. I needed to know that this was for sure going to happen....and he said yes. But then he told me that he needed to be re assured that I was going to go. I told him about how I was scared. I've never lived anywhere other than Norman and I was afraid that he would get sick of me and not want to be with me anymore...and he basically told me that even if he did get sick of me, he wasn't going to leave me over it. I also asked him what he would do if I decided I didn't want to go...he said he would stay then. But he asked me where I would want to go. I didn't really have an answer. I guess I just want to be sure that this is something that I want, and I want to be sure that he definitely wants me. So far so good. I'm for sure going to Colorado...especially after our talk today.

the other day he told me that he had been thinking about me a lot. He even started that conversation out with "Baby, we met once when you were wasted, then initially on a bike ride, and spent every day together after that..." It was pretty cute. Then he told me that on thursday while he was thinking about me he cried...at work! I was a little freaked out by this, so I asked him why he cried. He replied with "Not in a bad way, but a good way. I'm just so proud of you, and you're so amazing..." He told me that I make him feel some strong emotions. I'll tell you, he makes me feel the same. I've never felt this way about anyone. I've never gotten involved with someone and had my feelings for them get stronger. Usually by about this time in a relationship things start to calm down and emotions start to decline a bit...but for some reason, in this relationship, things feel like they did day 1...if not stronger. It's a little scary, but feels pretty good.

PHOTO TIME!!!

here are a couple of photo's of the painting that Cory is working on for me. the first photo, you'll notice a water bottle at the middle bottom portion of the piece. That's there for scale. That is a 16 oz water bottle...Meaning, this painting is pretty big!

And here we are...being super cheesey and super cute. wow I feel like such a girlie girl right now!

Here's Erin and I...also known as KRS2! (Kitty Rescue Squad)...we were going to rescue kittens from Dan's attic, but there were no kittens up there! super bummer! But we did find this awesome issue of playboy on his couch!

That's my hot ass...in Dans Attic, searching for kitties! sadly, no kitties were found...but there was a ton of kittie poop up there...eeeeewwwwww!
