MGMT - Kids

So… haven’t been here in about a week. Let’s see, what’s been going on in the wonderful life of Nikki?

Work is the same. Nothing new to report there.

My weight is, as of this morning, still at 162.0. I stopped gaining. I’ll take it for now. It still really sucks to get on there and see that number. I’m still trying to come to terms with it.

The gym has been good this week. I went Monday - Wednesday, had last night off and I plan on getting there today. Instead of doing the classes I go walk/jog on the treadmill. The other day I did two miles in 26 minutes and 28 seconds. I was really proud of myself. I’ve been really getting into the rhythm of running. I pump my music up and I just take off. It’s a great feeling. Instead of running at 6.2mph or something like that I stay at a steady pace of about 5.6mph for a longer amount of time. I’m really enjoying it. I’ve been liking going at night too. Right after work it’s always crowded but if I get there at like.. 7:30pm there are less people so the machines are free to use for however long I want.

I went out to Croxleys on Wednesday night with Amanda and Christine. I had a few chicken wings and one beer. That’s right.. one beer. Amanda was shocked when I turned down another drink when the waitress came and asked us if we wanted anything more to drink. Hah.

Things have been really weird lately with Ashley. She’s blowing off her friends, pissing off her family and has no interest in her job anymore. I don’t think she realizes what she’s doing. She’s just so into her relationship with Katie right now that she never does anything with anyone else anymore. Somehow I got her to agree to go bowling tonight with me. At Croxleys it’s basically the only thing that Amanda, Christine and I could talk about the entire time. It’s sad, really. I hope when I finally enter another relationship for myself that I don’t act like that.

Ron. Oy. I really like him. A lot. It’s insane. I think about him a lot. If he’s not online or I don’t see he updated his status on FB then I’m wondering where is he and what he’s doing. It’s really frustrating. I haven’t been with anyone since I met him. In ten days it’ll be a month that we’ve been “seeing” eachother and I haven’t been with another guy at all. Not even for a kiss. He picked me up last night, we grabbed some sushi, went back to his place to canoodle, went to see an independent film, went back to his apartment to watch terrible reality television for about 2 hours while cuddling up, more canoodling and sleep shortly thereafter. We woke up and he asked if I wanted eggs. It was cute. I told him he didn’t have time for that and he’s like.. yeah, you’re right. He got ready for work, took me home and here I am. Sigh. I don’t know what to do, girls. I really really like him a lot. He kind of said something that made me think that maybe he’d want a relationship in the future. The weekend we went to Foxwoods he asked me if I told my parents about him and what I say.. I told him that I tell them he’s the guy that I’m kind of “hanging out” with right now. I thought saying “the guy I’m seeing” might sound a little weird. I don’t know. So then last night, I’m not sure how the convo came up but I said something about how he has a great car and he’s like “is that what you tell your friends & family?” I said, jokingly “Yeah! Actually, I do. That’s Ron. He’s got a great car” He was like.. “Well at least it’s a step up from “the guy I’m kind of hanging out with..”" So it just felt kind of weird. I told him I was totally just joking about the whole car comment. Ugh. It’s like.. everytime we hang out and he drops me off the next morning or whatever I automatically miss him. I’m happy that our hang outs are consistent though. We at least make plans every week to do something. I want to think of something fun to do next week. Maybe I’ll take him to Syosset lanes on Friday night to meet Eli (the bartender) or something. Kind of, take him into my world a little bit or something. Is that too forward? Should I invite my friends? I want him to meet them. And I want to meet his friends. When does that happen? Does he even want that to happen?.. Ahh! I have to stop thinking about this. Just relax. I need to just let this run it’s course. I definitely like hanging out with him so I need to make sure that I don’t do what I normally do. I have to make the effort. Call him, text him.. let him know that I’m interested in him in more then just someone to “hang out” with. Grr! Again, I wrote a lot about him. Sigh. I’m going crazy here, girls! =P

I’ve got some stuff planned this weekend that I’m excited about. I have off today so on the agenda is the foodstore, bank, gym, bowling with Ashley and the mall with Shannon and Nicole. Tonight I think I want to come home, relax and watch a movie. I borrowed a few from Ron so it’ll be nice to cozy up in bed and watch a few videos. Tomorrow I have work from 11 - 7:30. After work I’m rushing home to shower and change because Amanda, Christine, Mayo and I are hanging out. We’re going to Best Buy to use Mayos employee discount to buy some stuff. I’m going to get the video IPOD. Woohoo! After Best Buy we’re either going to Applebees for some drinks and appetizers or to Croxleys. We’ll figure out what we feel like doing. Maybe we’ll go midnight bowling. I haven’t gone in so long. It could be fun. It can’t be much of a late night though because Sunday I’m walking in the city for Multiple Sclerosis with Joanna. I have no donations right now though which is kind of a bummer. I’ll try to get some before Sunday. I’ll ask family and friends, I guess. Anyway, I’m really excited about the walk. We had an option to do three miles or six miles. I, of course, said we’re going to do the whole thing. It’ll be fun, bonding time with Joanna. I think it’s going to be great fun-filled weekend. I’ll probably be beat come Monday morning though. Hah.

I guess that’s all for today. I gotta get going to the gym now before I get too lazy to go. Enjoy your day, girls.

    If you don’t want to be like Ashley, you should “integrate” Ron into the rest of your social circle, huh?

    Good for getting to the gym!! I like the idea of doing the charity walks and bike rides, but I’m not much of a fundraiser. Sort of defeats the main purpose.

    Have a great weekend! :)

    wow sounds like you’ve had an awesome week so far to finish it off with an awesome wknd! :) yay to walking for a cause! 6 miles is going to be awesome once completed! can’t wait to hear how the bonding went. enjoy the time with the boytoy for now…dont think too much into it, itll drive you crazy and unpredictability is what makes the “seeing” relationship so much fun. :) best of luck, can’t wait to hear how everything went.

    That was quick - you saved up all that money and/or did all that gym time for your new iPod in 24 hours? :-)
    As far as Ron - try to relax and no, I wouldn’t take him out to meet a guy bartender you’re tight with quite yet. Let him meet your girlfriends first. It definitely sounds like he’s into you, so enjoy!
    Everyone says maintenance is a whole new challenge after losing — I know you can face that challenge and SHINE!
