Teapot and 'The Tempest'...
My weekend began with a teapot and included ‘The Tempest’...
*smirks*
E has season tickets to the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival and this past Friday was the last play for this ‘season’ – it was Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’.
I went to meet Erin at his place of employment and then, before we headed down to the theatre, we went to eat at a little Mexican place in Mentor on the Lake. They are authentic and the food is pretty good.
We left the Mexican restaurant and had a little time – so we went to Bed, Bath & Beyond and I bought a teapot for Erin’s house. We drink a lot of tea and to me it does not feel like ’home’ without having a teapot – yeah so I am weird...it’s also weird for me buying stuff for his house when I don’t live there and getting myself into the mind set that I WILL be living there.
The play was well done – this acting troupe has been wonderful.
I adore Shakespeare, but more than that, I adore going to see plays with Erin. It’s just so nice to be able to share these moments together.
Afterwards I wanted to stay downtown and show Erin some nightlife but instead we headed home (again feeling weird about speaking up to ‘direct things) – but we ended up going to an Arabica for a late night cup of tea, then we ended up at (of all places ugh!) Denny’s (gross) for some late night food, then we went shopping – we were out until 2AM and I had a blast – I can’t speak for him.
Went home to bed together. Woke up the next day (I slept in until I think around 10AM – I just could not wake up) – he spent the day working on stuff for work. I puttered about the house – his friend showed up to see him – causing friction between us (long story and told before in bits and pieces – let’s just say I am not fond of this woman or her motives). I ended up going out and getting a baby shower gift for a shower I was attending the next day. Came back to Erin’s and had a long talk about my feelings and some of the things plaguing me. We went to sleep….etc. He woke up and went to teach PSR – I lazed about a bit and met him for mass (we were late for mass) – mass was also a bit surreal – some priest from the Philippines on a mission to beg money for the church over there and in his blessing to us he sang an Irish 'blessing' song (like I said it was surreal)...
I went to the baby shower and Erin had a class to attend. We met up later on and spent the evening together – I was sewing he worked on stuff for work, I did some Yoga – he continued to work – finally we broke and had a salad for dinner – talked together. He went back to work and I read a little and then went to bed – he came up a bit later to join me...
Slowly we are adapting to being together – getting used to the nuances, the idiosyncrasies, the ebb and flow of being together. I know it’s going to take time – but we have the rest of our lives to try to learn each other and get used to each other. I look forward to the time when I will feel at home IN HIS HOME as I do with him as a person.

I think the best part of your weekend, was the part that you 2 were at "home" and able to be there with eachother, but do seperate things, and still be happy and humbel without having to entertain one another! That in its self is purely wonderful! I am soo happy for you!
