Up all night next to my sleeping boyfriend. I'm searching the interweb for apartments and jobs in Oceanside, CA. Up all night, because after work tomorrow the boyfriend and I are making a random, spurt of the moment, 7 hour drive to Oceanside. Staying in a fancy little Motel 6 for the weekend while we hunt.
Taking you back to last week...
My father calls and asks me if boyfriend and I would like to have him fly us down to southern California to come visit him for the weekend. We both say "awesome!" sounds like a fun time. I ask for work off; boyfriend doesn't have plans, so great, its a deal. We are intended to leave tomorrow. Father calls today...oh by the way, I'm not able to by those plane tickets for you guys. We both say again "AWESOME!" "Super fantastic dad...you totally didn't F up our plans. Because of course we had an ulterior motive for wanting that free plane ticket to southern California. Yes, this may seem like a selfish thing to do. Yes, I would have liked to visit my father before he moves to Ecuador next month (and yes that is out of the country..in South America to be exact), but we also wanted to visit Oceanside while there. Our future home together. Or at least we hope. See...we still have yet to visit this amazing place called Oceanside.
Boyfriend graduates school in September and we hope to move to southern California at that time. I will hopefully just transfer Starbucks' until I am able to find a job that I am more suited for (as I am of course always searching for). His school will be setting him up with interviews for jobs down there. All we need to do now is find a place to live. Seems simple right? Well not so simple from a distance. Damn that 7 hour drive.
So today comes, skip past the phone call with father..skip to conversation with boyfriend when I tell him.. "No, sorry honey...as usual, my father is reliably unreliable. No plane tickets. Ahh poop!" Boyfriend then comes up with the brilliant plan to use our free weekend of nothingness to drive down there instead. Scrap some money together for that fancy motel room and vwala! Were going on a weekend hunting adventure.
The End.
Now it's time for little me to hit the pillow for my day of work and long drive.
I will let you know how that job/apartment hunt goes...if we make it back alive! Dun Dun Dun!!!
(Obviously I am running on no sleep now. Please excuse my ridiculousness in this entire post.)
Nighty Night!
