It&#8217;s really tough.  Staying up, even just to 1:00 AM has started to take its toll on me.  I couldn&#8217;t even imagine staying up until 3:00 AM as Brian does!  That would just be unbearable.  I would be beyond cranky. Anyhow, Jen kept me company most of last week.  We hung out while I waited for Brian to come home on a couple of nights.  There was one night last week that he was actually able to leave work at around 9:30 PM.  That was kind of nice.  He gets to leave at 10:00 PM tonight.  What a treat! <\/p>\n<p>The weekend has been quite eventful.  Brian was off on Friday and I had to work.  Blech!  I got him some movie passes from work so he wouldn&#8217;t be bored.  That day, he met his dad at Shooters for lunch and for pool.  They ended up going to see <u>The Tuxedo<\/u> together.  Dave, my father in-law, is a major Jackie Chan fan.  I love Jackie Chan, but I&#8217;m content waiting for the DVD release. It was a major movie weekend for Brian because later that night, after he picked me up from work, we went to dinner and then watched <u>White Oleander<\/u>.  On Sunday, we were back at the theater again for <u>Ghost Ship<\/u>.  We watched it at the balcony so we had dinner right before the movie and through the previews and then I got to enjoy my mango margarita during the show.  We&#8217;ve been so spoiled with watching movies at the balcony of the 13th Avenue Warren that we almost loathe watching movies in the regular theater these days.  It&#8217;s just not same.<\/p>\n<p>Brian had to work on Saturday so I spent most of the day with Jen.  We went shopping at the mall.  She bought me a pina colada smoothie from Orange Julius, we went to Victoria&#8217;s Secret to get my free Body by Victoria purse spray (Free with no purchase necessary &#8212; Can you believe it? I love these perks!) and I got a new chemise\/nightie and I also got a blouse from A&#038;F.  <\/p>\n<p>Lana Lang (Smallville) always wears it on the show and it was on sale for only $15-something so I absolutely had to have it.  I also got two more of the long-sleeved shirts I like.  I ordered the blue one through the A&#038;F website and I was actually wearing it that day. The burgundy and the green ones were on sale at the store, so I ended up getting both the burgundy and the green ones also.  I absolutely love that top and the only color that was available in my size when I ordered it online was blue.<\/p>\n<p>After the mall Jen and I came home to start getting ready for her office&#8217;s halloween party.  It was a lot of fun!  The pictures are available online in the photogallery (check the links on the left) ~ if any of you care to see them.  <\/p>\n<p>I expected to be home around midnight because Brian gets off work around that time and I wanted to be home by the time he got home, but I ended up coming home much sooner than that.  This guy that Jen has been crushing on at work left around 11:00 PM to go to another party and Jen wanted to go there so we agreed that she&#8217;d drop me off earlier so she could go to the other party also.  I really wish that Brian could have been at the party with me.  It would have been much more enjoyable with him there. Anyway, I guess this is all for now..  I have to start dinner in a few minutes, so that it&#8217;ll be done in time for Brian to arrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazingly, Brian and I survived our first week on opposing schedules.
