Reason # 5,469,539 why I love my boyfriend
Seriously. I couldn't love anything more.
He worked from home today -- because our new hot tub was delivered today. The hot tub that he bought and hoped would be a surprise (it was foiled because I wasn't working and caught the "pre-inspection" guy walking around on our deck). But that's not why I love him.
We have the most beautiful house. Which, with (mostly his involvement) is decorated beautifully.
He has been so patient with me while I'm not working. And understanding that I was very freaked out to be in a new place and it would take me a while to adjust. When I did land my interview? He celebrated that little victory with me.
And when that interview landed me a job? He celebrated again...and shared my victory with my friends.
Then my victory was spoiled by the drug test I had to take, (yeah yeah yeah, I know, whatever) and he was sympathetic and understanding. Sympathetic and understanding for the last week, and then he drove me to take the test.
Today he worked from home because our new hot tub was being delivered.
I got the news today that I got my new job, all is well. I was so happy that he was home to celebrate that news with me. :-) But that's not why I love him.
Our DirecTV guy came out today to fix our setup (again, long story). He was off the clock and he had his 5 year old son in tow. I forgot to mention to my boyfriend that D would have his son with him.
After spending most of the day outside with a flyswatter trying to kill all of the wasps and bees that were out there scaring me, D (our directv tech) finally showed up.
I introduced him to D's son. He was about to run out to run an errand and leave me and D's son to watch Spongebob. And I was totally OK with that!
But then he changed his mind and brought out this toy for us to play with, which we did...and then he said "oh wait, we have an Xbox"...which caused D's son to light up like a friekin Xmas tree.
So he didn't run his errand...instead he hooked up the Xbox (which I had completely forgotten that we owned) and sat there and played with this stranger's son for an hour. I brought out cookies and milk, they both ignored them cuz they were playing the game.
I couldn't love anything more.
If I ever get pissed off at him and tell y'all that and am ranting and raving and totally furious -- please remind me about today. Because I've never seen a sweeter, more patient, more loving, more compassionate and caring man than I did today.
:-)

Ooooooooooh!!! *angry fist*
Damn you, Washington!!! Seriously!!
Long story short: totally nailed my phone interview. Seriously...nailed it. At the end, the guy said "well, I have a few other people to talk to, but I'll be in touch".
Uh huh. 20 minutes later I got a phone call that I got the job. :P
Yeah! Yay! I rock! Just gotta work out the paperwork and he has to get the PO all set up and I have to take a drug test and woo hoo......wait, what? Drug test? Oooooooooooooooh.
So I put it off for as long as possible, which was today (Friday). Dingus is going to San Diego today for his fantasy baseball draft so I finally drove into "the city" today to have lunch with him. Then I was off to take my test. I made it into the city just fine and was quite proud of myself when I left...and then I got so, sooooooooooo lost. I drove around for two hours, stressed out as all hell, and then I just gave up. I just got on the freeway (going the wrong way I might add) and said "fuck it, I'm going home".
I had told Dingus I would call him when I was done with my test, and since I never took the test, I didnt' call. So he called me from the airport.
How much do I love Dingus?? An indescribable amount. When I told him I was lost, he didn't direct me towards the lab for me to take my pee test, nor did he direct me home -- he directed me towards the nearest tanning salon...which he knew I really wanted to visit (and couldn't find the day before). And he told me how to get home from there.
And he was right -- I found it, I bought lotions and I tanned...and you know what? I *do* feel better. :D
So now...Dingus is gone, I'm home alone, I had a very stressful day and oh! hey look! wine!!
:D
How are you???? :D

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile
well it's me girl and I should know it
with each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around no need to waste it
Love is all around why don't you take it
I'M GONNA MAKE IT AFTER AAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!
*throws hat into air*
Straight out the gate I got a hit on a resume I submitted. I've already had a phone interview and they said they'll be setting up interviews later in the week and I should expect a call. It's a contract gig at a biotech firm -- I'll get to wear a lab coat and goggles!! I wonder if I can wear a pocket-protector too....
:D

My first Washington friend!
This is Milo. He comes and visits me every day. (We think he lives next door.) He desperately wants to come inside the house but I think that might be pushing it a bit too far with my own two kitties. In all fairness, they have been pretty patient with everything so far...

Picture post!
Here are some pics of the house:
Awwwwwwww, happy kitties!!
And our little 6-inch snowman we built with what was left on the ground:
ETA: Aaaaaaaaaaaand one more...at Dingus' behest (see comments):

Greetings from Washington!!!!
I'm here! I made it! And I just finished hooking up our DSL while I'm waiting on the DirecTV tech.
No TV, no phone, no internet....bah, we've been living like savages!! :P
Well, it was a wild few days but I am finally here and settling in. The movers took FOREVER and it ended up costing a *wee* bit more than we had budgeted, but hopefully it will be worth it in the long run. They said it could take up to 2 weeks for my stuff to get here but we are hoping it will arrive in the next few days. I keep attempting to put what things we do have in the house away, but then I remember that this place is going to be filled floor-to-ceiling with crap pretty soon. I hope it does get here soon though so I can deal with most of it while I am still blissfully unemployed. :D
As Dingus said, the cats did great. I was amazed. They hated being in their carriers so we let them out once we were on the road. Dingus had set up this whole little "camp" for them in the back seat so they were pretty happy. They made some noises and moved around for about the first hour, but after that they were settled. They sat in our laps some of the time or just curled up in the back seat. No potty accidents, no barfing, no hissing, clawing or freaking out. But their lives have been so hectic recently that they haven't slept much and so these days they are VERY tired. Fat Bubba's tummy was a little upset upon arrival but at the last litterbox check he appears to be getting better.
The house is BEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOTIFUL! It's certainly the nicest house I've ever lived in and certainly not something I could ever afford in California! We have a HUGE yard with a beautiful deck that wraps around half of the house. We are hoping to have everyone over for a BBQ during the July peep meet and we are so excited about it, we already bought this kick-ass new patio furniture! It's a cool table with this lid thing in the middle and when you remove the lid? Voila! Firepit!! It's really pretty but also probably safer than a traditional firepit...on a wood deck, it's probably better to have the flames up off the ground a little bit. ;-)
It's raining today but that's the first time it's rained since I've been up here. Yesterday was really really nice which was a relief, because you can imagine my horror when we pulled up to the house and there was snow on the ground! SNOW! ...the hell? :O
I still have to set up the wireless router and deal with the TV guy so after I have that done, I'll upload some pictures for you. *smooch*
