That’s why it’s always nice when someone takes the time to reach out and befriend you. -JD, Scrubs

Tuesday nights have become movie night for me and Brazil since Match has class that night, and her husband is off at college during the week. I love getting to spend that time together, even though I know when the baby comes we probably won’t get together quite as much. We went to see I Love You Man, and I thought it was hilarious. I really identified with Paul Rudd’s character Peter, because I have a hard time making new girl friends. I feel like if I approach a girl at the gym to hang out, she’ll think I’m hitting on her or something. While I do have a few great girlfriends, we don’t hang out as often as I would like. Having Coast Sister visit made me realize just how much I miss having a close friend to hang out with regularly. (more…)

Nurse Roberts: You’ll be okay, Marshmallow.

Elliot: Laverne, do you call me “Marshmallow” because I’m soft and easily flattened?

Nurse Roberts: Well, yeah…. But, if it makes you feel any better, it’s also because you’re very white.                                                       -Scrubs

I just want to start by saying thanks for all the kind comments from my last post. I’m definitely feeling much better. In fact, on Wednesday night, after I wrote that post, Match and I had a great night and everything felt right. It’s almost like the minute I identified that I wasn’t acting like myself, I snapped out of it. The bad feeling disappeared and I remembered how lucky I am.

I missed the hell out of you. I really did. -Dr. Cox, Scrubs

So last weekend was the big weekend away in Tahoe for work. It was hard leaving Match, but I was excited for a change of scenery. After an unbelievably long drive, I ended up at the hotel, which was gorgeous. I’ve never had the chance to stay in such a nice place before, and I was in awe. My room had a living room, a hallway, and a separate bedroom. Just for lil ol’ me! But despite the luxuries, I had a horrible time sleeping all weekend. I guess I’ve just gotten used to falling asleep snuggled up next to Match. He calls me his koala bear because I wrap around his back when we sleep.

I’m crazy about you, and I want you to know that if I had the choice of hanging out with anyone in the entire world or just sitting home with you, eating a pizza, watching a crappy tv show… I would choose you everytime. -JD, Scrubs

Match just got the best news! His Fire Academy Saturday morning class was canceled, and he doesn’t have to be there till noon! That means for the first time since Labor Day weekend, we get to sleep in. It means we get to do whatever we want tonight, and we don’t have to go to bed early. He IMed me rather sheepishly asking if we could watch the presidential debates. I told him there was nothing I wanted to do more than curl up in our PJs and watch TV. I’m pretty amped about this election, but even if he said he wanted to stay home and watch reruns of Step By Step I’d be excited.

It’s crazy how much a person can mean to you after only a few months together. Last night Match told me he couldn’t believe how comfortable and easy it was living with me. He said that it felt so natural waking up with me every morning, and how happy he was that we decided to move in together. I had a ridiculous conversation with Mama Drama on IM about how I can picture us as old people buying incontinence products together. I know, super gross! But seriously, I can see us in it for the long haul. I’m talking depends and false teeth old.

So here I am at work, counting down the minutes until 4pm, when I can go home. I can’t wait to curl up on the couch with Match and our pets. Call it a dull Friday night if you want, but there is no where else I’d rather be.

Turk: OK! You know what bothers me? Every little thing with you becomes a BIG issue! You make MOUNTAINS out of MOLE HILLS!

Carla: When have I ever made a mountain out of a mole hill?

[Flashback]

Carla: Turk! If you can’t remember to put the cap on the toothpaste, how are we going to raise our children?! You know what, I’m going to stay with my sister.

Match and I had our first fight. Well, it wasn’t so much a fight as a silly half argument mixed with grins, giggles, and the occasional tickle. But there were valid points, and I did raise my voice once or twice. This second half of the month Match has been working and going to fire academy, so I’ve been soaking up our time together. We’re also getting the apartment ready for him, and the old roommate is slowly moving out. Last weekend we loaded a bunch of Match’s kitchen stuff up and brought it to my place. While he was at school, I decided to be helpful and unpack his boxes. That is when I came across the most hideous coffee cup in the world. (more…)
