Got a new job!!!

So I finally got a job as an accountant/bookkeeper at Morgane Le Fay. I started on December 22. I am still claiming unemployment until last week since I don't get paid through Paychex until this week. I need all the money I can get... Anyways, I think I am born lucky. I have never been without any money in my life. I was employed at Morgan Stanley from 2000 to 2006, Wyeth from Jan 06 to May 06. Cantor Fitzgerald from May 06 to September 06. AIG from October 06 to July 08, Equinox from Jul 08 to Sept 08, then RBC from Sept 08 to Feb 09. Then I was unemployed from Feb 09 to Dec 10. 22 months I was on unemployment. Then when I earned 10K working for AccountEdge my own company.

Now I'm set. I have Adam's income, Commondesk on weekends and evenings and this Morgane Le Fay job plus my tax return and audit work income from AccountEdge. I can renew my lease when it comes due at the end of May. Even with roaches and the lack of the buzzer working, I don't think I can move to another building without leaving a substantial deposit. My credit history is poor and my income from the job at Morgane Le Fay is not high enough to warrant me to moving to a place that costs $1400 or more.

Last weekend in MD

So I was invited by Davey up this weekend, took the bus to Baltimore then transferred to Frederick so I got there around 3pm. He picked me up at 3:10pm and we hung out til 6pm whereupon he had to leave to go to a work dinner. He was gone til midnight! I was pissed so he slept on the sofa for part of the night. But we did end up having sex the morning after so we didn't break up over it.

He said he'll come to NYC in January. So we shall see! I have Carmen the opera on January 8, he prolly won't come on New Year's Eve. So he'll most likely come on January 15 which is 8 weeks (2 months) away. December is not a good month with Christmas and all. Anyways I wanna go up there Valentine's Day weekend on a Friday night and he said he'll show me around on Saturday and I can go home on Sunday. That will be in February.

Davey wants some more nude photos but my camera went missing. this is the fourth or fifth camera I've bought. Luckily the price went down to 99 so the total is 118, plus the carrying case that I lost (20) and an SD card (16), it'll be like the cost of it before at $150.

I was thinking about breaking up with Davey and going out with Howard. But he's 5'8 and has two teenage kids. Also he runs and wants to run with me and I haven't run in 4-5 months! I am not about to go running again for a guy. Davey doesn't make me run and he's 5'10 so my kids might be taller, LOL. So I think I will continue dating Davey and hope he moves to NYC sometime next year.

next weekend!

So Davey might be coming up to NYC for work this week so next weekend looks good to finally meet up. It's been over 3 months since I last saw him. He's also gonna think up some new poses for me to send.

I got drunk last night at Cheryl's birthday party. I had 5.5 martinis. Anyways, not gonna drink again anytime soon. The drinks were half-off so I only spent $36 on 6 drinks. $5 for the martini and $1 tip. At least I just used up all my cash in my wallet, and didn't charge anything to my card.

update...

so I called Davey a lot on Friday and he got pissed. So much he said if I sent another text or call he would consider us done. haha, so I stopped. anyways I sent him an email tonight apologizing and he wrote back saying he doesn't believe me when I say I won't freak out again. oh well. I haven't freaked out the same though. all different ways.

Maybe he'll come this weekend when I have my period and have my Sat night concert to go to at Alice Tully Hall.

Anyways, it's scoreless in Game 5 of the World Series. Giants up 3-1 against the Rangers. Even though I love the Bushes, I am rooting for the Giants. Go Lincecum!

Update on Davey weekend

So Davey got sick this weekend and couldn't come. He did email me both on Sat and Sun showing a great desire to come. Oh well. I think he has his daughter this Halloween weekend. And I bought a classical music concert ticket for the night of Nov 6 so not sure if he wants to go to that. So instead of Rayuela we can go to a restaurant in the Lincoln Center area.

So maybe he'll come on Sat Nov 6 and we'll go to the concert then grab dinner in the Lincoln Center area. Dan Sushi? PJ Clarke's? I have to figure a good place to go to then. :)

Looks like Game 1 of World Series will be won by Texas Rangers and Cliff Lee. leading 2-0 with Cliff Lee on the mound for Texas against Lincecum.

Oct 23-24 weekend

So Davey promised next weekend. The weekend of Oct 23-24. That worked best because I went to a cello/piano concert at Alice Tully Hall on Saturday with my mom. That was good. My mom liked it more than the paid concert that I took her to the philharmonic last year. This concert was free. Definitely a plus to be part of the Classical Music Meetup group where I heard abt the free concert.

Anyways, I am planning to go ice skating this weekend and go to Rayuela and Verlaine for dinner and drinks, respectively. Fun weekend! He'll meet Paddy!

this may be it

so Davey will let me know tmrw most likely if he's coming to NYC this weekend. Not sure if he has his daughter this weekend. And I want to go to a concert at 2pm on Saturday. Maybe next weekend. Who knows? Will keep you updated.

Breaking News

Breaking news: Davey has a daughter. Not sure how old she is. But apparently he was married years ago. Which is news to me. Anyways he had his daughter this weekend. I'm giving him until next weekend to show his face in NYC. He better bring flowers too!

Maybe next

Davey sent me a text this past Friday saying maybe next. So I hope he does come this coming weekend. This weekend makes eight weekends of not connecting. Asked him to call me today. We'll see if he does that.

But he said to take the time we have and enjoy it, so I know I'm in a monogamous relationship with him.

I like the ramen at Ippudo NY. Went there yesterday by myself and sat at the bar. Asked my bro if he wanted to go today, my treat.

Now this coming weekend for sure this time

So Davey didn't make it up last weekend. See his email below explaining:

"OK, I got flown out to San Fran today for work. Just got back to my hotel room after a long day. Hope I can fly out tomorrow, but it pretty much ruined my chance to come see you tomorrow. The hotel is really cool though. If you want me to send you some photos from my room, I can."

He sent me a text saying he'll try hard to be here this coming weekend but he can't make promises out of his control.

He's been MIA since last Friday so I sent him a video email hoping to jog up his senses. LOL He has to respond to that email. Anyways, here's looking to this weekend.

What shd I eat today? That is the question, I might go to Thai Pavilion and grabbing some Seafood Spicy Noodle.

Rafa

Rafael Nadal won the US Open, making him the seventh man to complete a career Grand Slam. Go Nadal! Here's to hoping you capture all the Grand Slams until you turn 29! Go Nadal! Over Federer, yeah you Roger!

This coming weekend instead....

Long time since my last post. Davey didn't make it up over Labor Day weekend but he thinks he can make it this weekend. Hope he can! It might rain on Sunday but nice day on Saturday.

Sent him a lot of texts and two voicemails over Friday and Saturday so he got annoyed. But he did text me twice over the weekend and emailed me asking for a new pose. I sent him a whole bunch of pics this week and he thought they were hot. The video he requested was too large to send thru email. Maybe in person.

Anyways, I made a reservation for two at Rayuela if I don't feel like cooking him lasagna Saturday night.

Crossing my fingers for this coming weekend.

US Open Labor Day Monday

I am post-dating this entry to 9/6/10 but writing it on 9/9/10.

I went to the US Open with my mom on Labor Day Monday September 6. We watched Monfils down Gasquet, Kinepri defeat Wickmayer and Soderling beat Montagne. All of them have since been eliminated from the US Open. I'm rooting for Nadal vs Federer with Nadal giving him a straight sets spanking! I can dream, can't I?

And around 5:43pm on Sunday Davey texted me a message "Email ya in a bit". It sounded light so it sounded like it would be a good email. And it was. He sent it around 6:30pm (the first time he sent an email in the 6 o'clock hour). It was saying I hope you had "a good weekend even though we didn't get together. Next weekend is a definite possibility."

Davey's coming to NYC Labor Day weekend

So Davey wrote me yesterday and said he thinks the "Labor day plan will work." So I'm going to make plans for the weekend.

How does this sound?

Saturday
3-7pm hang out in Central Park
8-10pm Rayuela reservation in the LES
10-11pm Verlaine for lychee martinis

Sunday
11-1pm in Bridgehampton at Pierre's 2468 Main Street
1-4pm Cupsogue Beach (Westhampton, NY, $10 parking)
6-8pm dinner at the Palm, 94 Main Street in East Hampton

Monday
bid him adieu (farewell)

How's that itinerary? I might trade in the Rayuela reservation to cooking him Spicy Chipotle Lasagna, depending on whether he wants to eat in or not....I would cook for him, the first guy I've ever cooked for. I think I'm in love with him. :)

Real Madrid tied with Mallorca. They suck already. FC Barcelona won their game.

Watching the Yankees game and it's 2-1 over Chicago in the eighth inning.

Ted Lilly is placed on waivers despite pitching 5-0 with a 1.83 ERA. Maybe the Yankees can get Lilly and I can finally drool over him at home! A girl can dream, right?

Team Chapstick!

I got up at 4am this morning to cheer Team Chapstick on to become Team Lipstick. That's the triathlon team I was on briefly before I quit to focus on the Marathon. But now that I'm not running the marathon, I am focused on losing weight through managing my food intake.

Anyways, there I am standing, two from the left. Sara was also not racing but I didn't get to talk to her much. I am trying to see where to go in the Hamptons on Sunday for a romantic dinner with Davey. And she spent some summers in Amagansett so I was thinking she could let me know what's the in place to eat in the Hamptons.

Silver Lining

So Davey's not able to get out of work to come to NYC this weekend. He said there might be a slim chance and he'll know late Friday afternoon but don't plan on him being here this weekend. The silver lining is that maybe he'll be able to come up the next weekend, which is Labor Day weekend. We'll see. To be continued....

I ate Black Garlic pizza (garlic, mushrooms and prosciutto) from El Greco Trattoria. Very yummy. Having the leftovers.

Italian Baked Lamb Chops

I'm making this, Italian Baked Lamb Chops, for lunch and dinner tonight. Yeah, I'm back to cooking baby! I'll take a pic of my final product and append this posting in an hr or so................ Bon appetit!

Thank God I tried that recipe out before trying to cook it for Davey. It didn't turn out that well, I had to nuke it in the microwave to cook it because it was still visibly red on the outside. Didn't snap a picture because it didn't look so good. Now I have enough leftovers to feed me til the end of tomorrow. So I'm not going to my parents until Wednesday to stock up on some food. I'm poor this week. August has been a sloooooooow month.

Anyways, I was going through my recipes and I'll make the Spicy Chipotle Lasagna for Davey if he comes up to NYC this weekend. He mentioned in an email last Friday morn abt coming the weekend after which would make it this coming weekend, but he hasn't followed that up with a more substantive email so not sure. Anyways I asked him if he wanted brownies with almonds or vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I'm hoping he says brownies so I don't have to buy an electric mixer.

Coming this weekend

Davey wrote me an email Friday morning saying the weekend after is good and that he'll write me more by Sunday but it's Monday and he hasn't said anything more abt visiting so not sure if he's definitely coming this weekend. But I hope he does.

I'm going to bake him Magnolia Bakery vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting. Yummy. Either that or Duncan Hines fudge brownies with almonds. He has to tell me which he wants more.... the brownies will be easier and then I won't have to get a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

My Favorite Flowers

Dean & Deluca named these flowers Nicola roses and they are my favorite. No, Davey didn't get me these, I bought them myself -- a dozen for $10. Not bad. At Dean & Deluca they were $20. But at a flower shop on East 62nd and Lexington Avenue, they were $10.81 with tax.

Anyways, I decided to get them to brighten up the room. I hope Davey remembers to buy me some flowers when he visits me. He still hasn't indicated which weekend he can come up. He mentioned some good weekends, so not sure if he's coming up for more than one weekend. We shall see.
