laurenafI am so sick of this snow!!!! Never thought I'd say that (especially in Missouri where, for a Michigan girlie, they never get enough snow for my liking!) But basically because the city just does NOT know what to do with it. Clearly. Like my street has not plowed AT ALL. They did once down the middle of the street but first of all, there is street parking that we need to make use of. Second of all they plowed enough for ONE car to get through (on a two lane street....again, with street parking on both sides) The parking area has not even attempted to be touched. Some spots have been shoveled out and I feel guilty taking them where I can get them because I lived in Chicago for 10 years where you shovel a spot out and you stick a chair or table in that spot because that was HARD WORK and you don't want someone taking it. But even though I drive a small SUV it's definitely not going to make it out of these snow piles. And also, sure we got another couple inches this past weekend but it's been TEN DAYS since the big storm and they've still done nothing. This is total BS. (This would never happen in MI! :D )
Next....on to 'guy talk.' I spent another weekend at his place. Stayed there a couple nights which was great. Our dogs are getting along as good as can be expected but we still didn't trust them alone together. Like when we left the house we always took Pico with us. Honestly, I think they'd be OK. But they have snapped at each other a couple times (I think it's because Pico gets pretty jealous of another dog giving me attention and it's mainly snapping because I'M there and he thinks the other dog is getting too close. I think he'd be fine when it's just two dogs alone with no humans.) but I get where he's coming from. His dog is a huge pit bull and if they snapped while we weren't there obviously his dog could do a lot more damage. Again, his dog is quite old and a total sweetheart otherwise and I really don't think anything would happen, but I understand him not wanting to feel like the cause if my dog were to get severely injured.
So other than that I feel really comfortable there and it kinda has my brain running in overdrive. Like.....would you consider asking me to move in...? I say overdrive there because in a normal circumstance that would seem WAY too early to think about. We've only been together for two months!! But also it's been my plan since moving into my current apartment and finding out it's a total shitshow that my next move is wanting to buy a condo. Without this factor I would 100% be on board with that idea. But thinking "so if we're still together a year or even 8 months from now I'd think it would be logical to suggest moving in together." In 8 months or so my lease is up! It would be silly to buy a place and then two months later feel like it's the right time to move in with him. But now would feel way too early to consider it! Awkward timing.... I mean I'm still probably two months out from seriously looking for a place. Maybe by that point things will feel different. For now it's just me not liking being uncertain about the future. Also my parents have both gifted me a significant amount of cash for my birthday and Christmas knowing my plan is to buy soon. Errrrggghhh.....I guess I just stick with that plan for now. I mean really, let's just go back to my logical brain that knows just because something works well for two months doesn't mean you should plan a future on it just yet.
