dear diary,

man, this unemployed lifestyle really encourages me to be a lazy-ass. i gotta get moving. (at least i showered today!)

boyfriend moved in a majority of his "stuff" this weekend. thank god he doesn't have a lot of stuff. and what he does have complements my stuff nicely.

i've never lived with a boyfriend before. i don't think i even comprehend the hugeness of our new living situation. maybe, when you're in your 30s, sharing your living space with a boyfriend isn't as big a deal as shacking up with a boyfriend when you're in your 20s. because i remember that when i was in my 20s, it seemed to be a big deal. makes me think that by the time a girl is in her 30s, it's just nice to have someone to make a home with? i dunno...

one of my single girlfriends came over to watch the superbowl with us yesterday. and this is what an awesome boyfriend i have - he missed the entire first half of the game and the halftime show to cook us an amazingly delicious meal. and did i mention my girlfriend is a vegan so he had to make special accommodation for her?

man, there are some things about my boyfriend that drive me a little nutty - he's a republican, he's a bit of a hothead when things don't go his way - but, damn, i don't think there's anything he wouldn't do for me. he loves me. i think he loves me and shows it more than i show him i love him.

i'm a lucky girl. i may not have a job, or even any direction in life right now, but i feel like i have my rock, my soft place to land. and for that, i am grateful.

cali
