Random Stuff

I am so glad the week is finally over, what a hellish week for me, I just couldn't get anything done, then I find myself rushing at the last minute to get things done.  Isaac and I had a pretty decent week, he is going through some stress there, but, that is life.  Right now he is with my future father-in-law in Quito, this is about 150 miles from Riobamba, it was his birthday this weekend and also the anniversary of when we met face to face.  We 'dated' for a few months before we actually met, actually it was the 3 month anniversary from when we 'met'.  I met him in NYC, we met at Times Square, we went to his house, and I spent the weekend, it was the most wonderful weekend of my life.  He cooked for me, we spent the weekend watching the World Cup, he spent the majority of the time feeling the baby kick, he was so nervous, he was terrified that I would go into labor there, lol.  I hate that he doesn't remember everything, this was such a great time for us, and he doesn't remember.  This makes me sad, but now we have new memories to make.  I am so tired I can't even think tonight, but I feel the need to write.  Our time together is always shorter than I would like, but, I make due with it.  I talk a lot to Isaac's younger brother JJ, well, he wants to be called David now, not sure why, but he will always be JJ to me.  He is still here, he could never go back to Ecuador, he is way too Americanized and frankly, I don't blame him, this is why I think we will wind up moving down south as soon as we can, a fresh start for everyone.  I really wish he was going to be here this weekend, I am having a BBQ on the 3rd, people have to work on the 5th, so I tweaked it a little.  My BF since forever Kelley and her hubby Pete are coming, as well as my friend Joey, he is the cowboy, the kids will be here, my oldest invited a friend over, not sure if my folks will be here, JJ can't come, so it will be like 10 people.  I need to be done with all of my school work by Thursday so that I can be free for the weekend, I need to shop and prep food.  I do wonder why I torture myself with stuff like this, but I do love to entertain, it makes me happy.  I am going to have to ask Joey to bring me a 12 pack of Mike's or something, lol.  Also, I am hoping the weather holds out because we will be grilling, never fails that as soon as I mention the word grill, it rains, just the way it always has been.  So Friday is bill day and hopefully grill buying day.  Did I mention that I don't actually HAVE a grill?  Minor details I know.  Then Saturday will be an early day with loads of shopping, and somehow I have to fit in a basketball game too, then baking and prepping meat for the slow cooker, yeah, I must be crazy.  And I am one of those weird people that hate when anyone else is in the kitchen with me when I cook, that really irritates me to no end.  So Sunday will be cooking, making pasta salad, tomato salad, marinading chicken breasts, getting ice together, frosting cakes, cutting watermelon, getting the table set.  I know Joey will help, I can give him watermelon cutting, I am not good at that at all, lol.  Probably will give him chicken grilling too, I am good with burgers, but chicken, not so much.  Send him to the store to get ice too, the ice maker is never working right and we will need it, there is no way that I can put 5 12 packs of soda in my fridge.  Have to make sure everyone gets the flavor they like....oh yes, I am OCD like that, lol.  Maybe I need Mike's and wine???  I will let Joey decide for me, lol.  Then last night my allergies decide to act up, so I have itchy, sticky eyes and I am sneezing all over the place, so very attractive.  So I think I will end on that note, I can feel my eyes getting swollen, I am not even sure why, I haven't been bothered so far, and my allergies are mostly in the winter, go figure.  The windows have been closed for days and I have been my usual hermit self, so this I don't get.  Maybe a call to the doctor is needed tomorrow.  Good night from itchyeyeville!
