New Beginnings

I feel I have encountered someone truly unique in my life. Someone I mesh with in a way I haven't felt ... in a long time if ever. I am excited, enthralled, and enamored.

I haven't yet met this man. We've exchanged emails, photos, and long, luxurious phone conversations. I feel like I'm encountering someone who could truly appreciate me, understand me, care for me. I'm intrigued at his thoughts, ideas, and creativity. I love to listen to his voice from the dark of my room at 2am. Despite a few RL obstacles, I'm hopeful of adventurous possibilities.

Randy Pausch, in his now-famous "The Last Lecture" says that "Brick walls are there for a reason, they let us prove how badly we want things." If you've never seen this, I highly recommend it.



There comes a time to set aside the old. Such a time has come for this blog. It's served its purpose when I started it back in 2005.

Perhaps the journey is over, and my best life has just begun.

Hello Spring Break

I had a good date Friday. This despite the bowling alley being so awful it was funny. Like our pins getting stuck halfway down when being reset. And our balls not returning to us. My high score for the 1 game we had time for (league started at 8:30) was 57. yee-ha. Never said I was good at bowling.


Afterwards we went to a pub for drink and grub. We got a pitcher of a TommyKnocker brown ale that was 10% alcohol. I could've done without a pitcher, as I prolly wouldn't even drink a full glass. We ate and talked and enjoyed ourselves. He wants to cook for me in 2 weeks.

Saturday I was supposed to finish getting things ready for my drive to FL, and spend some time with B. I woke feeling awful. Not drunk, hungover, headachey awful, but achey- I've been poisoned slowly awful. I was even running a small temp. I cancelled plans with B, and he brought me some dinner anyway. I spent most of the day in bed.

Today was better. Dog park in the early morning with donut and hot chocolate. Leftover soup for "substantial breakfast". Shopping with B then a 2 hour massage for myself. I think the massage helped the most. I had a lot of aches I'd been holding on to, and didn't realize until they just overwhelmed me.

So tomorrow I will definitely be on my way to FL. Might not be back Thurs, but will play it by ear.

TGIF

I'm so glad it's Friday. Not only Friday, but the one before Spring Break!

I have a date tonight with Mr. Massage. We're going bowling. I'm looking forward to it.

My assistant was out for 2 days with her sick son, and yesterday she was sick to her stomach and left work around 10:30. It's been a heck of a week here at school. My coworkers had a child with diarrhea on the carpet, and then one of the teacher's children had to be taken home with pink eye.

I think I'll take Rose to daycare today, since I'm going to be out on a date tonight, and I need to get an oil change for my car after school.

I'm supposed to do something with B tomorrow. We were going to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Macon, but there's supposed to be thunderstorms.

Yesterday I got my lesson planning done for the week we come back after break. I've also a week off for my gifted class until the next one starts, and I was constantly feeling like I should have something else to do. Kinda nice no to though :)

I'm not sure what's in store for me for the coming week. I'm hoping for rest and relaxation and rejuvenation.

LTNB- Long Time No Blog

I feel like it's been ages since I blogged.

I was extremely tired last night. I'd been awake off and on since 2am, my assistant teacher stayed home with her sick boy, afterschool I went to meet with the gifted cohort and turned in all my items. Then I went and met with my financial advisor and started pulling out $150 a month to put into a moderate fund. Then I went to pick up Rose. I also found out that one of my students is withdrawing, and that I get a new student today. I slept through the night straight, from 7:30-8 to 4:20 when my alarm went off. I was having dreams about a field trip when I woke up.

Coming home to a clean apartment was the best part of my day. A huge sense of calm and relief comes over me everytime I walk into the clean kitchen. No more stinky smells either! :D

I broke up with Mr. Collector on Sunday, and I have a date with Mr. Massage on Friday.

I'll probably do something with B before I go to visit my folks in Florida.

All in all, I been busy!
