Tuesday afternoon I dropped my new best friend at the airport. She's moving back East. This morning I dropped Him off as he and 39 other guys will be bicycling from SF to Redondo over the next 5 days. I'm so proud of Him, but I really miss Him.
In His absence I am determined to do the following - work out, clean my apartment, clean His apartment (boys are dirty), do laundry. I have plans mostly all day Saturday. I'd really like to rest since I've been out doing "farewell new best friend" activities for the past 2 weeks. I'm pooped!
Today I just wanted to stay home and sleep. But I came into work, I'm getting stuff done and I'm eating pizza (a counter measure for my big workout at home tonight).
I hope everyone's doing well. Sorry my dating updates are boring.
This week my sister shop, TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES, is listing some new fall-winter items while working on the TOYC spring-summer collection.
First, the double t-shirt dress is now offered in navy:
Also, appropriate for fall/winter, the v. popular dress is now available in a long-sleeve version:
And finally there is the GHOST JACKET:
I have one in dark grey, and it has been very good to me during these chilly fall days.
There are some other reasons I love this jacket:
-It's got a 2-way zipper in the front.
-To quote Ben J.: "2 crew neck sweatshirts reconfigured : neckline = armhole, one sleeve = collar/hood, one sleeve divided = deep cowl pocket + sleeve extension"
Also, it is very roomy like a poncho, but it rises up in the front and back. That way, your legs still get seen and have some length.
Ben will be listing some other items, so keep an eye out!
Back to work for us!

Please make sure you get plenty of sleep every evening.
Ben and I have been watching that show "Thea" this week.
It's part of this thing we like to do where we search our memories for these random shows and movies (particularly comedies).
And then we watch them.
But last night was the first time we'd seen any of Thea Vidale's stand-up comedy.
And I must say it's pretty rude and raunchy and vulgar and great.
It's WAY different from her character on "Thea".
Here's an example:
MEN-SI-VER-SA-RY (m n se-v r se-r ) noun
1. The monthly recurring date of a past event, especially one of
historical, national, or personal importance: a first date
mensiversary; the mensiversary of the founding of Nerstone Pictures.
2. A celebration commemorating such a date.
from Latin: mensis, month + versus, past participle of vertere, to turn.
Well, it's been one month official. I wouldn't normally celebrate something so soon. Talk to me on month 4 and I'll let you know if we're getting somewhere. It seems important to Him though and we're going out for a secret dinner tonight.
He's also making me fat, we're going out to eat so much.
He's still crazy about me and I adore being with Him as much as I can. Who knew this could be possible?
Ever since Osa (the little dog) left, my life hasn't been as cheerful.
Not that I've been sobbing uncontrollably or anything.
There just hasn't been a little ray of sassy sunshine greeting me at the door when I get home, shaking her little butt and covering me in kisses.
I need that.
Especially since all I've been doing these days is working.
Work, sleep, work, sleep.
Not that fun.
I need a dog to come home to.
So, we might buy one in the next couple of months.
If are unable to clone Osa, then we'll probably get a Boston Terrier.
This film short, starring Famke Janssen (Jean Gray from "X-Men") and her real life Boston Terrier, is pretty good and cute. And I think it perfectly depicts the close bond between owner and pet.
Last night had a fancy dinner with Him since it's dineLA week. I treated Him which shows that He doesn't need to be the one to "take care" of me all the time. I can finally say, "We're even."
During dinner He asked me to save the date of the 26th open. Sure, but what is that da...ooh.
Our one-month of being...official.
Have you ever seen a photo of me at age 10?
Neither have a lot of people.
I'll try to get back into a regular blog swing.
I have severe blog/Twitter guilt right now. Haven't been in the same routine since I returned from Texas.
Not sure if I told you, but I'm currently designing a small spring-summer 2010 knitwear collection that we hope to pitch to some stores in December and January. So, in addition to the t-shirts and Etsy shop, I've been working on figuring out my knitting machine, calculations, test tubes, and equations.
It's all more time consuming than it seems now that I write it out like that.
Anyway, let's hope to expect fun and exciting things!
The BFF and his BF were here over the weekend to see the fabulous Kylie Minogue in concert at the Hollywood Bowl. It's her first time touring the States. She was spectacular. On par with Madonna. I'd love to see her in a larger venue next time.
The entire weekend I was away from my...boyfriend. It's so weird to say/type that. I haven't had an official real boyfriend for 3 yrs and to suddenly be in a healthy relationship...it's just strange. Life can change so suddenly. It feels really good to be with someone who really wants to be with me and there's no hang ups, issues, or emotional baggage.
Everyday I find it harder and harder to go without seeing Him. I'm trying to keep a balance though. I've had too many friends just lose themselves completely once they got into a relationship. I still want to be myself and have my life. I want to incorporate Him into my life, not let Him become my life.
