It has been an expensive few weeks. Why you ask? Well it's been getting chilly and my SO owns no cold weather clothes and I own but a few (purged nearly all of them on my move to CR). And winter clothes are expensive! Geeze! Also, since my SO wore a uniform to work in CR he had no business casual clothes for work. So we bought a ton of clothes for my SO. He looks ridiculously handsome in them.

I bought myself some new earrings and some lingerie for the photo shoot emsimes (and everyone else on here) inspired me to do. My SO knows I bought it but he doesn't know about the photo shoot. I think this is possibly the first time ever I've lasted more than one day without telling him what I bought him as a present. My goal is to have it be a surprise. Wouldn't that be nice!

I'm actually pretty excited about the shoot but it's made me ridiculously self-conscious which I think is the opposite effect of what's supposed to happen. I've been criticizing myself terribly even though I weigh the same as always.

My SO has been having a tough few weeks. He's been homesick. He's also lonely because he doesn't have friends yet. I know exactly what that's like, I went through the same stuff in CR. I'm telling him to just hold on until he starts his job (in a week!). He'll feel much better about himself and be much busier when his job starts. Plus, hopefully he'll be able to hang out with some of the guys he works with. I've been having trouble with this too because I need some space to myself and since he doesn't have anyone else right now I've felt very smothered. Like I get home from work and I want an hour or so to tool around on the internet or whatever, and instead I get home and my SO is there and he wants all my attention. Which I understand, but it's getting tiresome. I'm not going to say anything because I know very soon he'll be gone a lot more and I'll be complaining about that.

I've also been frustrated because he's been saying things like "I gave up my family, home, friends, country, etc for you" First of all- he was the one who originally wanted to move back to the USA. Second of all- he did it for us and our careers and our futures, not for me. Third of all- don't act like a damn martyr when I did the exact same thing three years ago!!!!

Woosaaa. He needs to start his job and he'll start to be much happier. I know he will.

Well my friend is coming over to get my measurements for my half saree. She'll buy it for me when she gets to India. Going to India so soon!! So damn excited!!!

Have a great day!
