What A Wonderul World...

And so I'm back from outerspace...


'Ello Everyone!


I had a lovely weekend. Carrie is so great. We went out to her parent's cabin friday night, and it's about a two hour drive from Minneapolis, so we got there pretty late. It was a beautiful place though, very large, a huge deck right out on the lake, and a nice gas fireplace. I love fireplaces. When I'm old and wrinkly, all I'll need to be happy is a nice chair, a fireplace, and a good book. So we got there, and after putting all the food away into the refridgerator and cupboards, and eating the A&W hamburgers we picked up at the last small town we passed, we sat down on the wicker couch near the fire, and watched a movie (one of my favorites, Amilie). It was a wonderful evening. Then, we made a makeshuft bed on the floor out of a bunch of sleeping bags and blankets that were up in the top of her parent's closet, and went to sleep. I can't tell you how dreamy it is to fall asleep next to a warm body like that. It was really comforting.

The next morning, I got up before Carrie did, so I went to the kitchen, and made her some breakfast. I'm not a great cook, but browning some sausage, scrambling some eggs, and toasting some frozen hashbrowns in the oven is something even I can do reasonably well. Then I woke Carrie up and we had a nice tastey breakfast together. The rest of Saturday was spent talking, playing games, laughing, and all around having a wonderful time together. We watched another movie that night, Love Actually, a nice british romantic comedy, if you haven't seen it. I'm not a huge fan of ramantic movies, but this one was actually quite good, and quite funny. Then we laid in our little make shift bed for a couple of hours, talking. Then the thing I was terribly afraid would happen, well...it happened. But you know what? I love Carrie more now than I ever thought was possible, and everything is grand. Its so weird to think how completely different my life was only a week ago. I mean, think about it, one week ago, I was a pathetic, lonely loser who was afraid of life, and afraid of living. Now, I may still be a pathetic loser, but I'm a pathetic loser who is no longer alone, and that means a lot to me. Whenever someone makes fun of me, or makes me feel small and insignificant, I can always know that for now, someone, somewhere thinks I'm worth something, and wants to spend time with me, and that's more valueable than anything I've ever had in my life before.

So then sunday morning we woke up, and I made her breakfast, and then we left (Carrie had to work that evening). I'm glad we got home early, because this morning, the roads were ice sheets. I nearly killed myself driving to work this morning. I started fishtailing all over the place, which, in the middle of a busy highway, is a very bad thing. Luckily, I was able to get back in control of my car before I got in or caused a worse accident. It was horrible.

The rest of my night last night was spent playing World of Warcraft (it's been almost a week! Can you believe it?!?!) and reading. All in all, it was a perfect weekend. I think I'm going to invite Carrie to spend Christmas with my family tonight, when we talk on the phone, if she's interested. I think it would be fun. Well, I hope you're all doing as well as I am. I get to look forward to another lovely evening spent with the woman I love!
