Yesterday (Sunday) instead of going to practice or doing the tapes that I needed to do, I spent most of the day "bonding" with my house so that maybe I might finally be able to feel comfortable here. No, more than that. So that I'd feel like this house was my home instead of being homesick for the apartment. I never realized just how much of myself I'd put in that apartment. It was the first place that I really considered home—my home, that I'd made with Carrie.
But bonding time with this house helped me a lot yesterday. It's starting to come around. Plus the fact that it was a gorgeous day really helped.
Speaking of "bonding," I also spent a good deal (probably too much) of the Thanksgiving weekend watching SpikeTV's James Bond marathon. I don't know why I like James Bond movies so much, but God help me I do. Yesterday I watched Moonraker and most of For Your Eyes Only, which is the one in which the girl gets a total crush on Roger Moore.
Anyway. Carrie had her second day of WinterFest and did pretty well. She got cleared out and came home before 5:30, which was plenty awesome. Then she went to a store meeting while I worked on tapes, and around 7:45 I headed on down to meet her at Lorenzo's for her Bead Factory Birthday Bash. The entire Bead Factory was there—a dozen or so of the most beautiful, wonderful women you'll ever find. It felt so amazingly good to be able to sit in that room surrounded by so many people who are so important to me and just bask in all that love. It was wonderful. And the fact that I was sitting in between Carrie & Christine didn't hurt none either! I caught the tail-end of the meeting, and then everyone gave Carrie presents. Viki even got her a freakin' leather jacket for crying out loud! It was nice, but it felt a bit rushed because the restaurant was shutting down and people had to leave and whatnot.
Then it was home and in bed by 10:00. We are such old people now.
