This last week has been crazy hectic busy. I don't know how I even managed to stay sane and alive but I did it and it was an accomplishment. At work we had a huge convention for CTC so that took up a lot of my time. It was a ton of fun though; I got to meet a lot of the people from Williamsburg and they are truly a great bunch of people to work with. It also made me appreciate all the work, time, and effort our organization goes through to create such an event. Even though we're in a recession, we had a pretty impressive turn out. Although, the conference meant long days and early mornings; I barely had enough energy by the time I got home to walk Cooper. Poor little guy. It also involved an ungodly amount of walking but at least we got exercise. Plus there was a ton of food constantly around us so at least we ate well. All I have to say is that having co-workers you can get along with helps tremendously. If I didn't have David and Erika, that would have been a terrible long week. Minus the awesome Williamsburg crew, they were awesome and effing hilarious.
As for my personal life, I guess being that exhausted and tired from the week made me feel well, exhausted. I didn't want to do anything when I got home besides sleep and finally stop smiling and being nice to everyone. The weather was really crappy and cold last week too, which only made it that much harder to get out of bed as soon as I got home. Although Cooper liked the weather, it made his allergies a bit more bearable. I did go out with Tyson on Monday; we just went out to dinner at Rodizio's and hung out for a bit at my place. I was just really tired and so was he so it wasn't anything too crazy. I went out on a couple of dates with this guy Ryan and thanks to him, I am totally over dating and I'm just sticking with Tyson. We'll see where that goes.
Friday when everything was finally over, David, Julie, Mitch and I went out to dinner at Root Down around 6. God, we were totally hammered by 8 and David, Julie and I went out to a couple more places and got pretty trashed. It was interesting because I was pretty sober by the time we went to Double Daughters and David was tipsy as hell. I never saw him like that but it was amusing and funny. We got home by 11 so it was so nice to fall asleep and not care about what time to wake up for once that week.
While we were at dinner, Tyson texted me and asked if I wanted to hang out with him on Saturday night up in Fort Collins. I agreed and seriously, right when I think about giving up on him contacting me, he always pulls through :) I was a little wary because the week was so terrible to try and hang out with each other but honestly, I was not in a good frame of mind to even consider being social outside of work.
So on Saturday Tyson and I went up to Fort Collins to visit his old childhood friend who happened to be in Boise and attends CSU for a doctorates in English. I guess I could call him a kindred spirit. His name is Chris and it was so nice to hang out with another of Tyson's friends, an old one at that, because I dunno, it just makes me feel like he's taking this a bit more seriously than casual dating. And we all got along really well and had a ton of fun at CSU. Which is sad to say but eh, the company was good.
We spent the night because we didn't get home til 1 at Chris' house. When we woke up, Tyson started talking to me about why he likes spending time with me. Basically he said that he felt comfortable around me and he can be himself and I make him laugh. It was all very sweet. On our drive to Ft. Collins he told me some more personal dating habits and whatnot and I think we're pretty similar in what we ultimately want and have been through. And I can't help but feel a little giddy because I am completely comfortable around him, I don't have to hold back and genuinely enjoy spending time with him. He mentioned earlier that he's free during the weekdays because he likes to hang out with his friends on the weekends but he's already invited and included me on the weekends. It just feels nice to be in a normal relationship for once. He told me that his friend Francesco from the week before really likes me too, so I have a friend's approval. Fran thought I was sweet, funny, and outgoing so hey, all in all, very good things! We spent most of Sunday watching football at Old Chicago's and I didn't get home until almost 4. And by then I was ready for alone time. I was still tired and maybe drunk from the weekend before and I was so ready to get into bed.
And you know what? Tyson likes holding my hand. He holds my hand everytime we're walking outisde. He holds open doors for me. He isn't afraid to randomly reach over and kiss me even in front of his friends or cuddle with me all the time. And I appreciate that so much because it makes me feel good and important and that I'm worthy of being treated that way. It was kind of awkward because Chris was talking to some friends on the phone while we were out and I guess they asked who he was out with because he was like, "Oh, it's me, neighbor guy, Tyson, and his girlfriend Alisa." I guess that's what we seem like to other people and I guess I'm ok with that. And I want that from him. He said, "You're my girl." Of course I ruined that because all I could think of was Forrest Gump...damn you Forrest Gump, damn you.
As for other news, I still haven't heard from Megan since I was in Washington so I'm starting to feel a little worried because I know she should be in San Antonio by know and possibly starting her job in a couple days. It would be nice to catch up and I called and left her a message twice so I guess I should just wait to hear back from her.
Kristin finally moved to North Carolina last Wednesday and she seems to be settling in ok in her new place. It's weird talking to her because she gives really great advice for other people but she doesn't seem to take any for herself. She doesn't have a job yet and I don't know when she's going to start looking for one. And it sounds like she's having fun, true, a little overwhelmed, but reality has to set in at some point. All in all, I'm glad she made the move because hopefully that'll help her clear her head and figure out what she really wants.
It's just weird...we're all growing up.
