I shouldn't complain, cause this week went by relatively fast.  Though each individual day seemed to just drag on.  But I am very much looking forward to the weekend.  I've been feeling like I have a bit more energy lately, so I hope to finish up unpacking some of the things that are still sitting around in boxes.  I know, I know.  You would've thought that all would've been taken care of by now.  But it hasn't been, so hopefully this weekend will provide some time for that.  Other than that, I think it'll be a pretty uneventful weekend.  Which I'm kind of ok with.  We have some party thing to go to one afternoon for someone's graduation.  I don't think I've even ever met this girl.  But I figured we might as well go and have a good time.

So, the move has been completed.  I now just have the daunting task of unpacking everything.  I am not looking forward to it.  I took a half day off of work today to try and make the place a little more livable/walkable.  I am exhausted.  I don't know how I'm going to make it through today.  I just want to sleep.

Or back to work at least.  Man...let me tell you, after taking a week and a half vacation, work blows.  Even more than normal.  The days have just been dragging by.  I think the only way I'm getting through this trying time is that I'm really looking forward to moving this weekend.  Even if I'm (as expected) not done packing yet.

I've been trying to catch up on everyone's posts.  But there are so many!  It's not so bad to catch up on a day or two, but miss a week of posts, and it's like things are completely different with people. 

So the trip was amazing.  I had such a fun time.  My only complaint is that I wish the Argentinian was there.  And that the drinks were free.  Cause those sure add up (hello almost $400 bill).  We went to Grand Cayman, Honduras, Belize, and Mexico.  Sacramento Guy was on the trip, and for the most part things were fine, except for the fight we got on one night.  And that he occassionally got on my nerves.  But overall things were ok between us.  I got a tan, just like I hoped.  So that makes me happy.  I was worried since I (and everyone else who went in our group practically) got pretty burned on our first day at sea that I'd have to stay bathed in sunblock to prevent further discomfort.  But luckily a day or two later I was fine and ready to soak up some more sun.  The ship had such amazing food.  I gained like 5 pounds, at least.  But it was worth it.  So delicious.  I wish I had bought the cookbook they had of the meals they served.  I might try to find out from my friend if there is a way to order one off of the ship. 

As much fun as I had on the trip, I was definitely ready to get home at the end.  I couldn't want to see the Argentinian.  Aside from the break up, we've never been apart for that long.  So we were both so happy to see each other again.  I couldn't wait to get my arms around him.

This weekend has been pretty relaxing, overall.  I've spent most of it lounging around with The Argentinian.  Last night we just watched Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Spirited Away, which I fell asleep during.  But we own that second one, so no big deal.  

I'm moving. I found a new apartment, and I will be moving in on April 19th. Just a week (or a little less) than when I get back from my cruise. I am so excited. It is not only closer to the beach (which is my main reason for moving...I really didn't want to endure the heat of living so far inland. Plus, who doesn't want to live close enough to walk to the beach?), but it is also closer to work, and close to the Argentinian. We could walk to each other's houses. So, even though it's more expensive than where I live now, I will probably be saving a fair amount of money on gas since the places I go most are going to be much closer. Plus, I think the extra money is totally worth it to have a place I can call my own, roommate free. I've just really been craving having a place that is just mine, and I can do and decorate it as I please. Very exciting. I'll try to post some pictures once I get everything all settled and all. Just a month away. I can't wait!

Over the last few months I've been thinking about moving back up to Sacramento.  The only real thing that makes me feel like I shouldn't is my job.  I don't know what kind of job I'd be able to find up there.  But part of me doesn't even want another office job.  I actually want to go to this school that i randomly found up there to be an esthetician.  I've wanted to do that for a year or so, but haven't gotten the courage to do it.  But now I'm worried that people will think I am moving up there cause of the guy.  Which I'm not.  And wouldn't do.  I'm a big believer that unless you 're planning to marry someone (as in a ring on the finger, or now, maybe even more), that you don't pick up and move your life for someone.  At first I was wanting to make sure that I wasn't just thinking about moving up there cause of the break up.  Then around Thanksgiving time, and since then with subsequent visits, I realize that I just kind of miss being up there.  It's cheaper.  My good friends are up there.  Lots of reasons.  Aside from being able to go to the beach whenever I want, I don't feel a real pull to stay down here.  But I really don't want anyone, especially the guy, to think that it's cause of him.  I haven't really said anything to anyone that I'm considering this.  I talked to my brother a little yesterday about it, cause I know he'll be moving into his own place around the time I was thinking of moving up there (if I was going to move up there).  But I swore him to secrecy.  How, if I do finally decide to do this, do I bring it up to the guy?  Cause I don't want him to think it has anything to do with him, and to put any sort of pressure that things have to move to any sort of level or anything.
