dear diary,

so my company is being acquired, and while it isn't a complete secret anymore, most people don't know it's all going down this week.

i guess that makes me in the know.

i really don't feel one way or another on the matter. the only thing that makes me aggro at this point is that i am due for a raise is less than two weeks, and that seems to be a non-priority to everyone except me.

i mean, my co-worker goes on maternity leave and all her work gets dumped on me. do i complain? no, i take it like a (wo)man. i purposely kept my mouth shut because, at the time, my review and raise were only a month away...

now, i don't know what's going to happen...or when. i would expect that when i do finally get my raise, it gets paid retro-actively. i mean, that's standard practice, right?

in other news, my boyfriend is awesome and has taken on the huge project of painting my bathroom (which includes stripping the walls of the painted-over wallpaper left behind by the previous owners.) man, i don't think he knew what he was getting himself into...but he isn't one to complain (not yet, at least.)

it's his birthday on sunday and i am treating him to a massage at a local spa. i'll be at his side as i am treating myself to a massage, too.

we are going to arizona for easter. he is going to meet my parents. i am nervous. my parents are totally into people not being overweight...and he is a big guy. we are talking 6'2" and i-don't-know-how-many-pounds. he's just a big guy, with a belly. i'm going to be on edge. i know my parents are going to judge him immediately based on his belly. it makes me so mad.

oh, and to make matters worse, i've gained some weight, too. i guess that's what love can do to you. i need to buckle down. three more months til jamaica and i have no business in a bathing suit right now!!!

i turn 35 in three weeks. i really wanted to get my shit together by the time i turned 35. oh well, at least i won't be spending another birthday alone as "the single girl."
