What happened to BEDA?

HELLO.

Clearly, BEDA was a HUGE fail. I mean, I'm not even doing the wrap up blog until what is technically May 2. SO. Yep. FAIL.

BUT BUT BUT.

Birthday week is going QUITE WELL, I'd say. Yesterday (Monday) I brought him lunch at work. Then that night we had the Annual CSC Fish Fry to attend. The fish fry was fun (even though I'm not a HUGE fish fan). I've started to enjoy hanging out at the CSC much more this year. Perhaps I should have started attending social functions at the CSC BEFORE this year (I started this year because I wanted Alicia to come to church with me, and she's very social...therefore, social functions instead of just Bible studies and church like I used to do for the most part). BUT YEAH. I think next year, I'll end up hanging out there a lot in between classes and stuff since I'll be living off campus and all. It will be a good place to do homework and maybe to take the occasional nap on the couch.

Anyway, I got WAY off topic. I didn't give Eric a gift on Monday because we went straight from the fish fry to his apartment, which meant I had not chance to pick it up. And ACTUALLY I think I've thought of something BETTER to do with the gift that I got for him (something that he will enjoy more than if I just gave it to him). SO. I'll see how that works out, maybe.

Oh, and Julia. Do you remember how I texted you asking you to keep me from buying the thing I wanted to buy? I haven't bought it YET, but I'm totally going to. And it's going to be AWESOME. HOPEFULLY.

But yes. Today, the last of the gifts arrived, which was an EXCITING EVENT. I still need to wrap it. Perhaps I will do so once I've finished this. AND I need to finish up the Sekrit Project (that is not so secret anymore) and get something that I've thought of to ACCOMPANY it.YEP. PLANS. I have them.

Annnnnnd. Tonight was REALLY GOOD (in my completely objective, third party opinion...BONUS POINTS if you get that reference). We went out to dinner at the same restaurant we ate at for our VERY FIRST DATE. There was some reminiscing, especially since today was our three month anniversary for OFFICIALLY calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend. AND for his gift today, I gave him a PLANT (it's like FLOWERS, except it hopefully won't die) and these games where you ask people questions (Loaded Questions and Would You Rather?). I got these originally because they were QUITE CHEAP and I thought it was sort of funny because of how much trouble we had with asking questions and keeping conversation going when we first started dating. He ended up bringing one deck of the cards with him to dinner, and we had some fun asking and answering the questions. And we just had some GOOD CONVERSATIONS in general. YEAH.

Anyway, I don't have anything TOO EXCITING planned for tomorrow because a lot of our evening will be taken up by church. I am planning on bringing him lunch at work again. UNFORTUNATELY, I failed in my goal for him not eating pizza this week (he ordered one today because I couldn't take him lunch due to exam). SO. That's sad. But I'm still going for MINIMAL PIZZA CONSUMPTION.

But yes. I'm having a lot of fun with birthday week. I'm sorry about failing miserably at BEDA. Maybe I'll blog some in May to make up for it (or I'll AT LEAST blog on bedabuds). Oh, AND ALSO. Eric wrote a blog post about our hiking adventures, so you can go read that if you want to. Mostly it's pictures.

OKAY. Response to your comments now. Sorry it took me so long!

I STILL haven't found a place to live for next year, but it's in the works! The thing is, I'd REALLY like to have the place for the summer so that I'll have somewhere to stay when I come visit Eric. BUT it's not looking like that's (getting an apartment) going to happen until MAYBE mid-June. WE SHALL SEE.

Sydney DOES seem to go through a lot of stuff, yeah. And ACTUALLY she says she wasn't sad, like, AT ALL when she broke up with her last boyfriend. She said she had MAYBE a day of being sort of sad, but then she felt fine about it. WEIRD. I don't see how you can care SO MUCH about a person and then just STOP CARING. Maybe she never really did care SO MUCH? Maybe she's lying when she says she wasn't sad? Or MAYBE...I have no idea.

I'm glad you don't mind day blogs since they seem to happen a lot! HOPEFULLY less now that BEDA is over. BUT. I actually LIKE when you do day blogs as it allows me to keep up with your life! JUST SO YOU KNOW.

I DO indeed get upset. KIND OF often, actually, The thing about me being upset is that I GENERALLY get over it quite quickly (unless I'm just in a SAD mood, which does occasionally happen). But yeah. I've been getting upset more often lately than I used to, which I think is as a result of having a boyfriend, to be honest. BUT. I think it's ACTUALLY because I'm still getting used to things about him, but we're also spending a lot of time together. PLUS, there are all of these expectations on things. Anyway, I'm GENERALLY a happy person, but I definitely get upset sometimes. I get in funks sometimes. You know. These things HAPPEN sometimes.

I don't KNOW what's going to happen in June as far as my birthday is concerned. I mean, I've already told him that he doesn't have to do anything because of Fake Birthday, so I'll PROBABLY just celebrate it with my family and stuff, especially since it's on a Wednesday, meaning he will be at work. But, you know, I'm sure he'll wish me a happy birthday and stuff? I hope the Birthday Week stuff doesn't make him feel OBLIGATED to do anything for my birthday because that's not the INTENTION of Birthday Week, you know? The objectives of Birthday Week include: 1) Celebrating 25 years of Eric, 2) Creating some fun shared experiences between the two of us, 3) Making Eric feel special and loved through the celebration of 25 years of him, 4) Giving Eric ALL THE THINGS I've seen and thought he would like, and 5) Entertaining me. THAT IS ALL. The objectives do NOT include making him feel like he has to do something somewhat insane for my birthday.

OKAY. I think that's all. Goodnight!
