*flips a table*

the water is off at my apt….not sure how because no note left or anything.

puddle in my bathroom….goddamn toilet leaked. wicked into the fucking carpet in my room….made it about 2 ft from the door. fucking gross. trying to dry it out and air the room out.

i do not have time for this shit.

i can’t wait to see my little submarine again! <3  i will post some pics of it here…promise!

i have a brawny man snuggled up to me…snoring away while i tumblr and catch up on dr who and project runway.

why is it monday tomorrow?

/K-K-K-Katie, beautiful Katie,/
/You’re the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;/
/When the m-m-m-moon shines,/
/Over the c-c-c-cowshed,/
/I’ll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door./

just got this via text from the brawny man and promptly died of cuteness!!

it is windy as BALLS here right now…gusting enough to make my building go all creaky.  also raining to boot.  did not know we were supposed to get some crazy ass northern pacific storm blowing through tonight…

taxes are FINALLY done, and i’m getting an asston back for the first time EVER.  using some to replace my old CRT TV with a nice big 42” flatscreen and dumping the rest in savings.

skiving off in the morning to telecommute from the brawny man’s until wed. (boss is at a 3 day meeting)

ETA: apparently there’s a damn GALE WARNING til tuesday, wtf?  hoping that’s just coastal, because i do NOT want to fight a crosswind on the 101.

up late trying to fix the pagination in my dissertation PDF….also embedding fonts, which i THINK i have figured out.

and holy shit saw the pics from hanging with the brawny man’s BFF and fam….there’s one of the 2 of us and the BFF’s kidlet and DAMN we look like a little family (i have a derpface as usual because i was fucking NERVOUS).  i teared up just looking at it…

that sudden “MAKE BABY NOW” feel when you see photos of your boyfriend holding his namesake and it is SO DAMN PERFECT AND PRESH.  wow….did not expect that one.

i’m in one of the photos, and OF COURSE my eyes are closed and i look derpy ugh.

lovely snuggly weekend with the brawny man!

• the beard is back and here to stay!  he looks terribly rugged and GORGEOUS.
• met best friend/adopted little brother, his wife, and kidlet (brawny man’s namesake) down in santa barbara for beers and tri-tip sandwiches.  appear to have been accepted by lil bro et al. as the girlfriend…invited to go camping!
• first introduction as “my girlfriend, katie”  EEEEEEE!
• went kayaking in morro bay today in the double…super romantic walk out on the sand spit, saw 3 otters within 10 feet of the boat (SO CUTE AHHHH!), and i didn’t embarrass myself while paddling (it’s been ~20 years since i’ve been in a kayak).  

yeah, it was pretty damn awesome….i was really sad to leave.  even harder when he tells me he hates goodbyes….

and they are itchy.  i am HOPING they are stress related since i haven’t changed my diet/environmental factors and i’m not usually that sensitive to stuff.

getting benadryl and possibly calomine lotion.

the brawny man was here this past weekend, which was so great…i’ve been super duper stressed at work between manuscripts, getting my signature page done, and looking for an adjunct teaching gig.

and then we had a “what are we doing” relationship discussion….
