The update


I know many of you are dying to know how things are going with Levi, really. Well, it has been an adjustment, for sure, having an extra person with me all the time, but for the most part it has been great. We have been doing a lot of walking around, trying new restaurants, seeing my friends and of course we were at camp for three days which was really fun. We got back Friday and yesterday had our first little tiff. Well, it went like this: We woke up at about 1, took a shower and generally made plans to go have coffee somewhere and walk around til we met up with my friend Kea later on. Well I left Levi to get dressed and was out on the computer for about an hour, waiting for him to be ready. He finally walks out with a bowl of something that looks suspiciously like my salsa. I ask "What are you doing?" He says "Having crackers and salsa. I am soooo hungry." Well I am just shocked, because the plan was to eat as we were both hungry over an hour ago, and now he is eating a gross concoction, I am still hungry, and he is eating the salsa that I requested because I haven't had it in three months! Shocking! So I say to him "You know, I don't mind if you eat my salsa but you really should have asked," and I calmly explained that we had plans to eat, and now we would be on different eating schedules, which I hate, (Mom you know about this...) and I have a real problem sharing, and I am really not used to the whole what's-mine-is-yours mentality, and that even if you carried the salsa all the way from California once you hand it to me it's mine, and I just need the courtesy of asking. I am not so bitchy as to say no, you can't eat it, but to just take it, well, with all the other factors, namely being the huge sharing bone I was born without as well as the already hungry part, and now my plans are altered/ruined (He should have known to HALT at this point...) I thought I handled it quite well. The good news is that all is well and the conversation went no further, but in the future we are going to be working on figuring out what the other expects. This is a big step for me, kinda takes a lot of adjusting! But wanted to fill you in on everything. Levi says I have faults too. I can't wait to hear what they might be...
