Bloodhound Gang - Hold Your Head Up High |

Let's see, where should I start?
This morning I got up and headed to my dad's. When I got there I started to troubleshoot his scanner. Best I can tell he needs a new one. So off to the store we go. We pick one out, bring it back, and I proceed to install it. It keeps giving an error to call HP. I don't feel like dealing with it, so, off to next task.
I tore the transmission from that car all apart. Took an inventory about what was needed to fix it. Then me and my father headed out to order those parts and return some others. After that we went by the body shop to check on a truck that we just had painted. They painted it the wrong color. That's ok, it was a color we wanted but could not afford. We talked them into giving us $50 off since they painted it the wrong color. HEHE.
Then we headed back to my place to assess the situation here and decide just how far we are going to take this painting project of mine. I think I have dad talked into 4 new windows, replacing the siding on half of the house, a new front door, and carpet for the living room. There is much more to it than that, but that is the simple way to explain it.
After that it's back to dad's so that I can pick up my car and run over to see Christina at the gift shop like I told her I would. I run down there to see her. I looked like a total bum. I had been working on the car and doing other stuff so I was quite dirty. Sometimes she likes that, today was one of those days. While I was there she told me how her mom, aunt Linda, uncle Paul, and friend of Paul's stopped by the gift shop to see her today. We also made plans to meet up for dinner at 10:30 PM.
I left there when Richard called from my dad's wanting to know where I was. I had promised to help him move some stuff. He was waiting for me at dad's. I head over there and meet up with him. We head out from there to go move the stuff. A few hours later he drops me back off at dad's. I hang out there for a little bit and talk to dad about the "home improvement" project.
When I left there I went to Home Depot to look at window options for the house. I came up with a few options that cost less than we thought they would. I was suppose to check into something else but can't remember what it was. So I browsed for a little bit. I had time to kill before seeing Christina. When I got tired of that I ran home to get ready.
When I got home I noticed my favorite neighbor was home. I went straight over there to share the home improvement ideas with her. She came over and viewed the progress so far. I showed her the door we have had for 3 years but never installed. We chatted a little bit about how things are going with Christina and I.
She left and I went into the office to delete 32 spam emails and read 5 legitimate ones. I talked to a few friends online before starting to get ready to see Christina. See, she had mentioned to me that although she was digging the grunge look today she wanted me to be cleaned up for tonight. I took that seriously. So, I got all cleaned up, shaved, put on some nice clothes, etc etc. I headed out to meet up with here at Laura's like we had planned.
I get to Laura's and Christina is not yet there. I decide to wait because I know she is coming from work and could have been held up by something. As I waited for her I fell asleep in my car. I wasn't asleep for more than 10 minutes or so before Christina is knocking on my window.
We go inside to feed the dog and get ready to take it for a walk. After we fed the dog we sat down to talk for a few. I think Christina needed a moment to relax from her long hard day. She is low on sleep and that worries me. Anyway, as we are sitting there talking she shows me that she has now shaved. 
We take the dog for a walk. When we get back she pushes me into the bathroom to pose in front of the mirror. Like to admire how well we look together. I am touched. We had done this in the past. We start for the door and she turns around to me and looks at me. She said, "I want to do something, but I don't want you to take it the wrong way." I ask what that would be. That's when she kissed me. I kissed her back and hugged her. I told her that I asked her how she wanted me to take that. She seemed uneasy talking about it like she wasn't sure herself. I explained that she didn't have to worry about me falling in love. I was/am already in love with her. I told her that I would not take it as an invitation to assume we are solidly back together or together at all. I explained that I thought that we should just take it one step at a time for now. Nice and slow. We could check in with each other periodically but just take things how they come.
Off to dinner we go. We ended up at IHOP at 44th Street and Thomas. I ordered her drink, the Arnold Palmer. For the first time since we have started hanging out the waitress did not know what that was. There is a funny story behind that but that's for another day to tell. I got a raspberry iced tea. We browsed the menu as we chatted. I was going to get breakfast but opted for a patty melt less onions. She decided that she would try that. I explained that rye bread has an odd taste. She decided to try it anyway. So I ordered for both of us. Two patty melts no onion, and a side of ranch for the lady. The food seems to take forever to come out. Maybe we are both just that tired. We eat and talk for a bit. Christina was ok with the paty melt. At least it was something she could finish eating before deciding it was total crap.
We decide to leave and I head toward Laura's to drop her off. When we get there she starts talking about something she "wants". She wants to roll up in a blanket, in a warm bed, with a nice pillow, and her hair tied up. I commented that there was a reason she use to stay at my place when dog sitting at Laura's. I get out and go around to open her door. She calls my name as I exit the car. I go to her door and open it and ask her what she wanted. She said, "Take me to your house." I was floored. I asked her if she needed to grab anything. She said, "No, take me to your house." I closed her door and went back to the drivers side got in and started the car. As I started to back out she changes her mind and gives me a huge hug. I told her that I understand and that I would like to get out to give her a hug and say good night. I shut off the car and get out, go around and open her door. She seems reluctant to get out. As she gets out I think I spot a tear. I give her a hug and a few kisses and a few more hugs. She goes to her truck to get something out of it before she goes in. I tell her that I am not leaving till I know she is safe inside. As she walks to the door she asks me if I will be getting online when I get home. To that I say, "Is the Pope catholic?" She goes inside as I watch her. I pull out and head home.
When I get home she is already online and has sent me a message. We chatted for a bit and then she went to bed. She needs the sleep. I wished her sweet dreams as she did me. I told her that if she is in them, they will be sweet.
I think that she wants to see where things can go. I know that she is scared. In the short history that we have I was less than perfect. To be totally honest I have been less than acceptable. I think that she sees that I am trying to change. I don't think she wants to rush back into things and end up where we were 2 months ago. Honestly, I can't blame her. We just need to take things one small step at a time.
To my love.... you are my everything.
