I guess it's serious

As of yesterday, Lawrence and I have been dating 1 whole year. It's hard to believe! I must say, I've never been in a relationship where we dated fer reals for a year straight. I mean, I've been "with" a guy secretly for that long, and I dated my son's dad for almost two years, but we broke up almost monthly, so I don't think that really counts as a serious, solid relationship. Some days I can't believe it's been a year already, and some days it feels like we've been dating forever. And, quite frankly, between him being pretty annoying in a lot of ways, and me being a demanding and neurotic bitch, I'm shocked neither one of us has dumped the other yet. And the weirdest thing is that we don't even fight or anything. I mean, we've had a couple of fights, but I think two minor fights that get resolved before the evening is over in a year is a pretty damn good track record. We disagree about things, but we actually talk about them and work things out like real people are supposed to. It's just weird, really. Some days I think that I should dump him for his own good, so that he's not saddled with this bag of mood swing that is me for eternity, but when I actually seriously consider it, it's like the lights go off in my brain and all the air gets sucked out of my lungs, so I guess I won't do it. The truth is, I've never been happier in my life, and I find that to be strange and foreign, but in a way that I think I could probably get used to.

So, down to the nitty gritty. For our anniversary, we exchanged gifts, of course, and I got him two movies and a sweatshirt. (We had agreed ahead of time that I'm am poor as hell right now and that I would either not get him anything or would get him something inexpensive.) He got me a SanDisk Sansa c250 MP3 player. It's totally swwweeeeet! Not only does it play MP3's, it also has an FM tuner and recorder! That's always been my problem with most MP3 players; I was like, what if I get tired of what I have on there and want to listen to the radio, eh? So no problem there. It's 2 GB, but it also has a slot for a microSD card, so I can expand the memory, so that's pretty cool. It can also store and show pictures and has a voice recorder, neither of which I can see myself using, but it's nice to know they're there. He also got me a sports pack to go with it, that has a neoprene case with a belt clip and an armband so that I can wear it while I'm exercising, which is exactly why I wanted an MP3 player in the first place.

So now I have a kick ass MP3 player AND a sweet sweet boyfriend! How lucky can one girl be? Now I just have to upload all my cd's to the computer and transfer them to the Sansa. Uh. . . that should be. . .fun. :)
