Another weekend gone by

They always go SO fast. I love the weekends but they never last long enough. This one was a good one. Fun and full!

Friday night I had my last dance lesson, then grabbed food and drinks with friends after. The guy met me there and met a few of my friends. It was pretty loud in there so they didn't really get to talk to him all that much. But I think they liked him. Then we went back to his house for the night.

Saturday I was home early to take care of the cats before heading up to my mom's. We went shopping, went up to my aunt's house for a while and just hung out at mom's. I left around 3:30 to head home.

Saturday night I went to the guys house, we went to the movies (this weekend was Bad Teacher. I liked Bridesmaids last weekend better but Bad Teacher was still good). After the movie, we stopped at my house to take care of the cats, then stopped for ice cream before heading to his house to sleep there.

I left Sunday morning, came home to take care of the cats again (not loving this! That's why I have cats, not dogs!!). I had a 5K road race yesterday that was fun and the BEST after party ever! WOW it was fun. The band ROCKED and we were dancing in the street having a few beers. I really had fun.

After coming home, relaxing and showering, the guy came over after he left getting more work done on his tattoo. He has a lot of tattoos and just got more on his ribs, up the whole right side. It looks REALLY cool!

Then we went out for dinner, stopped at his house to let out his dog, then he brought me home. I hung out for a bit, took care of the cats, then went over to his house to watch a movie and stay over.

Things are really going great between him and I. The conversations are amazing and he makes me laugh all the time. I never feel uncomfortable or insecure with him and he does so many things to ever keep that from happening. We tease each other all the time and he is just so kind, caring and sweet. I really don't know if I have ever met anyone this kind. He's just really really good to me. I love being with him and spending time with him and sleeping in his arms. It is the strangest thing.

Its cool though, cuz I still do my own thing, have my friends, my running group, my golf, dancing and whatever and I see him all the time. He's great with that and loves that I have my stuff too. He just fits great into my life and things keep getting better and better. I'm just really happy. :)

Crazy But Good

I think that's gotta be my life motto. My life is always in some sort of crazy state. Something is always going on. As much as I try to avoid having drama in my life, somehow it finds me. But even still, even with the craziness and the drama, Life is Good. I'm happy.

Overall work is going really well. I've sold 3 accounts this month and I'm waiting on the conversation with my boss to find out how the compensation will be done. Every little bit helps. These are only small accounts, but a sale is a sale. So... that's that.

I've been trying really hard to pay off and down debt its going ok. One loan is paid in full and another will be paid off in maybe 4 more payments. Then next year my car will be paid off too. But as usual, the ups with the downs.

The Bruins won the championship, making Boston officially the most hated sports town cuz we just rock! :) Gotta love it. The team with the longest streak without winning a championship is the Pats and that was last won in 2005. 6 years? A drought? Nice, huh?

My boyfriend. Yup, I said it. I hate labels so much, but really, there is no other way to say it. I mean, way too many words to say, "the guy I am in an exclusive serious relationship with." He's such a great guy, and considering he's used the B and G words, I guess I can too. It was nice today cuz he came over for lunch (took the day off, more on that in a few). It was just nice to see him. We sat and had lunch, I rubbed his shoulders, we kissed. It was great! I could get used to that!

I've really been having a great time with him. I'm happy with him. He's kind and sweet but you would never know it looking at him. He's just a big teddy bear covered in tattoos! Seriously, sleeves on both arms. On his really big built muscular arms. :) But he makes me laugh and he's there when I need someone to talk to and he listens. He's just a good guy.

What else? Trying to get the good stuff. As always, the fitness group, amazing. Love them. My friends are unbelievable and such great people. Especially with the bad and crazy things that have happened. I know I really do have friends who will be there and who I can count on. I'm really lucky on where I've come to in my life and I've made such amazing friendships with incredible women.

Funny... a few are doing the online dating thing. Two of them had guys mention me. LOL! One is a guy I had a couple of dates with! The other just recognized me in one of my friends pictures. How funny is that? Killed me!

What else? Jeff came home for the parade. Things were good and it was nice to see him. The boyfriend went to grandpa's for the cookout and me the whole family that day too. It was really nice. Yup, he's met the family. That's a huge deal for me. But considering I invited him for a few days down the cape with my family, he needed to meet them now, before the weekend down there. But he was great there and they liked him too.

So.. that's the good. Now the crazy.

Without getting into too much detail, they way I presented it to my HR person was, if I came to you with a hypothetical what should I do? So think of those stupid sexual harassment videos they show. You know the ones you laugh at, cuz they are so nuts and no situation would ever happen like that? Yeah, those. Well that's basically what happened. I mean, to have someone say, "I was thinking more along the lines of friends with benefits"... then toss in all the other things I'm not getting into including position in the company, relationship, friendships and so much more... this is just wrong on so many levels.

My HR person was actually much better than I expected. I don't want to pursue anything and refused to say anything other than hypothetical, but she knew I was full of shit and she was able to figure out exactly who it was. She said, "You know he should be fired, right?" And yeah, I do. Which is why I'm not going to do anything. If I officially said anything, then yeah, he'd be fired. And I don't want to do that. SO I'm going to let it go, as long as I don't hear another comment about how hot my body is now that I lost weight, how cute my butt is or my favorite... when I mentioned my boyfriend, "well, I hope the sex is good." Really?

So that was Monday at work. That night I was home. Without getting too into detail cuz I'll get upset again, my cat wasn't himself. I knew something was wrong. We were at the vet at 8am on Tuesday. I was a mess. I now have a kitty credit card to cover the $1200 the vet cost that day only, plus the $160 at CVS and we are going back tomorrow afternoon for more blood work. He is diabetic and now needs insulin injections twice a day plus he's on a special low carb, high protein diet.

He's still walking badly, his hind legs are still weak, but they are strong than they were Monday night. He looks better and he's more himself now. I'm feeling much better and so much happier that he's ok. I was a friggin mess on Tuesday.

I went into work at 10:30 after leaving him at the vet for tests. I picked him up around 5:30 last night, skipped my golf lesson to stay home with him and today took a vacation day to hang out with him all day. He's doing great!

I only left for 10 minutes to pick up lunch for me and the boyfriend, then I was home all day until 4:30 when I left to meet the people who were laid off at work for a few drinks. I got home around 8:30 to feed him and give him his next shot.

He's great for the shots too, takes them like a champ! So easy and so mellow. I just feel so bad though. I hate that this happened to him. :(

SO... even though I haven't really done anything to ask for drama in my life... I was so text book sexually harassed at work then thought my cat was going to die. It has been a pretty rough week. I'm hoping it starts to get better. At least there are only 2 days left of this week.

It feels like a Friday!

I really wish it was, but one more day to head into the office this week. I'm just spent. Been a long couple of weeks and it is finally starting to catch up to me. Can only go on like this for so long before I crash and it has been too long. I think at least the beginning of May? I've had something almost every single night.

Last night was fun. Went for a run with my group and got in a good couple of miles. Flew home, showered, then headed over to the guys house. He was outside waiting for me and we hopped into his car to go out. We ate at Chilli's and watched Bruins win the cup! SO exciting!!

Then I slept at his house between him and the dog! Talk about being smooched! LOL! Close to 200 pounds on one side of me and over 100 on the other. WOW! But I still really really like it.

I am so happy with how things are going. Just weird. No expectations at all. No Julie World. I'm not really more than a few weeks ahead in how I'm thinking. I'm just enjoying the moment and the day to day so much that I don't want to go off into my fantasy world. Real life is so much better! :)

Today was nice, he took me out for lunch again. Great to see him in the middle of the day. I just really like being around him. He makes me smile and keeps me laughing.

This morning when I was leaving his house he used the "G" word. First time he said "girlfriend". Last night he said something about needing to delete his online dating profile. I didn't even think about doing that. I haven't been on in weeks and I'm not looking for anything or anyone else.

He's meeting the whole family on Sunday. I don't really do labels, so introducing him as my "boyfriend" might be interesting for me. I'll have to chat him up about it on Saturday when we're together and see if he has a better idea of what time he's going to show up or how he wants to do this. I'm actually nervous!!!

But I like him and I like where this is going. I'm just good with how things are going. Its just so weird. He's a fun person, and a kind good hearted person. I like being with him. All is good. :)

Ok, time to head out for the clothes swap with my friends... keep going and going and going!! :)

Bruins!

What a game last night! On to game 7! This is really cool. I can't wait until tomorrow night for game 7. It'll be so cool. Hmm... I wonder what channel it'll be on. Ok, just checked. NBC. The guy has very basic cable on this computer (flat screen on the wall.... he's a movie guy and barely watches tv). But he has NBC, so if I'm there, which I figure I'll be, we can watch it.

Things with him continue to be really great. I was over last night and I just like how things are and were they are at. I'm pretty sure he's meeting the family this weekend, which will be VERY interesting. I can't remember the last time I had someone meet my family, but Sunday looks like the day! WOW!

I slept ok for the most part, minus his dog jumping up again and again and again. But the dog finally likes me. I think he forgot that he was left outside for hours when I was over and he's ok with me now. I told the guy I want to try to take the dog for a walk with me.

Ok... time for me to get ready for work! Need to be there in 45 minutes. :)

End of the weekend

This really was a great weekend. I wish they were all this good.

Friday night I had my dance lesson which was a blast, then went out with the guy. He's just such a great person and I really like spending time with him. I have so much fun when I'm with him. I'm comfortable around him and I'm me. There is nothing fake, no being on my best behavior or being who he wants. I'm me, plain and simple.

I have my things, my friends, my interests and so does he. But we work around that. We work around out schedules and have time together.

SO many things about him that I don't even know where to start or what to say. I just have fun with him. I laugh! I live in the moment and enjoy it all. I feel safe in his arms. And I trust him. I really have trust in him. This whole thing went really fast for me and with him leading the way. I sort of got caught up in where it took me and held on. I'm glad I did.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else happens with us, where this goes and how we get there. I'm not looking too far ahead. I'm going with it and enjoying it. I'm so in the moment with everything. I'm not in Julie World. I'm not having these crazy fantasies. I'm just in the here and now with this, which is so much fun! :)

He's so sweet and so kind, nice and caring. He's just a really great person with this tough side and a crazy sense of humor with TMI-disease. Its a great package all together.

And I think most importantly, I really love the way he makes me feel. I love how I feel when I'm around him or when I talk to him. We have a great chemistry and connection between the two of us, but we can joke and laugh and have great conversations too. I can be silly and goofy with him. I can order a giant breakfast with a side of french toast and eat almost all of it and feel great about it! I can just be me and feel completely accepted for me as I am. I love that.

I'm not scared anymore. Not at all. I really like this. I like what happened. I love that he said something about "the night he asked me out". LOL! So THAT'S what I agreed to! :) So yup, he asked me out. As in a couple, an exclusive couple. I'm still not using the "B" word to describe him. I can't go there yet. And I haven't changed my relationship status on Facebook.... he doesn't even have one visible on his page. We'll just see what happens and where it goes.

But there's a chance that next weekend he's going to be meeting the family. That's a HUGE step for me. HUGE! So we'll see what happens!!!

Happy Friday

I didn't do any cleaning at all last night. I was on my laptop for a while, watched some TV and just relaxed until new guy called at 9 when his MMA class got out. I was the phone with him until I went to bed.

But I slept really well, got caught up on that at least. And today is FRIDAY! YAY! Very happy that the weekend is here. Really looking forward to seeing new guy again tonight. He texted me after we got off the phone last night that it kinda sucked without me there. :) I'm sleeping there all the time, it was weird for me too.. to be in my own bed and to be sleeping alone. Never thought I would miss sleeping next to someone, in his arms, especially after not that long.

But, I'm seeing him tonight. Not going out with my friends after the dance class for once and going to his place instead. And I have nothing all day tomorrow, until my friend is meeting me at my house around 5:45... my plan is to be home by 4:30 tomorrow.

I'm still not sure how I went from being completely on the fence if I even wanted another date with this guy to being in an exclusive relationship and spending more nights sleeping at his place than at my own! But it happened.

Last night he was too funny, telling me he'll put in my AC for me, he could do this for me, or that too... just sweet stuff and wanting to help me out in anyway he can. To basically be the man. Been a while since I've had that. Not really used to it all that much, but its really nice as well.

OH, and he laughs cuz I tell him he's the king of TMI. He tells me things I just don't need to know, but I guess that's good in a way too. When we were out the other night he was telling me how his ex was calling him when her boyfriend just broke up with her... he didn't get much of a workout in cuz he was on the phone with her.

Then last night he tells me about this girl Amanda he had a couple of dates with who he met on line a few months ago. He wasn't interested in her, but she was a good person. He had basically told her I'm not looking for something right now, lets be friends. He said she texted him all the time and they talked alot through that. He hadn't heard from her in days, so yesterday he texted her to see what was up. She didn't want to talk. He asked her what was up and she started giving him shit about me! That he didn't want a relationship and who was this girl in the picture on Facebook?

Funny too, cuz first he posted a picture of Fenway on Saturday. Amanda "liked" that picture. Then he posted one of the 2 of us. She didn't have anything to say on that one! LOL!

New guy told me that when she was saying everything in texts, he told her that he had already said him and her were just going to be friends and that he really hadn't been looking for anything... it just sort of happened with me. He's right. It just sort of happened.

But even though he says things I just don't need to know, I'm glad he does. I know he won't keep things from me. I know he'll tell me about the girls he's friends with, the ex's he still talks to now and again and the people in his life. Even being TMI, even with my jealous tendencies (I wasn't loving the start of his conversations about his ex and about this Amanda chick!), I'm glad overall that he does tell me things like that. He's comfortable enough to say it and I think because in his mind it isn't anything or any feelings or just any anything with these girls, that its something he can say.... part of conversation on what happens during the day.

Ok... 7:35. My coffee is gone, the news is repeating stories I have already seen, my email is cleared out and I've updated facebook with my "happy Friday" status. Time to get my butt up and get in the shower to go to work.

I'm so happy and grateful for the weekend. I'm still surprised at how things are going in my life, especially since I really really wasn't looking for anything and since I was so hesitant on this, but here I am. I'm kind of reluctant to use the "B" word, but I will anyway! I can't wait to go see my boyfriend tonight.
Yeah, not used to that yet! LOL! After a month? Really?

But if he said the other night that he wasn't expecting to be giving up the single life so quickly, and then last night after Amanda said something about me, he said that it just happened... I know he sees us in an exclusive relationship. And I know that it IS an exclusive relationship. Just very very unexpected to be here.

I really do have a boyfriend. Holy crap. How did that happen?? LOL! I have a boyfriend. And I really really like him and I love spending time with him. And I think about him as soon as I wake up and look forward to talking to him all day. He makes me smile when I think about him, laugh when I'm with him, and I just like where things are right now.

Night off

My goal tonight was to go shopping after work then come home and clean. Not everything went exactly as planned.

I printed a few Groupons before leaving work and remembered to grab my gift certificates before I left home this morning. On my way home from work, I stopped at the running store in a HUGE shopping plaza. I had 2 $50 groupons plus a $25 gift certificate to use up. I bought a new pair of running sneakers that I LOVE and 5 pairs of running socks.

I absolutely LOVE the new running sneakers. They are the newer model of the same ones I was already wearing but a 1/2 size bigger too. They just feel so amazing on my feet. I did try out a few other pairs of sneakers but none felt this good. They were even better than the model that I currently have. I LOVE them. If it wasn't pouring out right now, I'd be outside trying them on.

Then my plan was to walk down to Old Navy and use that Groupon too. Um, yeah, the heavens had opened by the time I left the running store, without a jacket. And my bad... NO OLD NAVY IN THE PLAZA!!! I was drenched! Old Navy is in ANOTHER plaza in the same town but about 15 minutes away.

By then, I was soaked through and had enough. I didn't go to Marshall's to use that gift certificate and I still have the Old Navy groupon too. At least I got the sneakers.

Then I got home and I was starving... A bowl of cereal and some pretzels and I'm good. Cleaning? No. I even had an idea to bake... make the banana bread I made before that was amazing. Nope. On the sofa, online. I registered for another 5K in August... the Tavern to Tavern 5K from Tavern in the Square (Central Square) to Tavern in the Square (Porter Square) in Cambridge. Free Tshirt and Pint Glass too! Should be a blast! Plus its early... 9am start time, so heat-wise, it should be ok.

I was already planning on taking the night off from seeing the new guy. I have spent 4 out of the past 5 nights at his place! I slept home on Monday night. That was it! And this morning he asked me if I was coming over tonight. I need a night off off to chill at home. My poor cats hate me right now!

But otherwise, things with him are going REALLY well. Last night was fun when we went out to watch the Bruins game and just hanging out and talking. He would kill me for saying this, but he is such a sweet guy! Go figure, he's working out at a fight gym tonight... LOL! But he is! He's sweet and kind. I have fun with him and I feel really comfortable with him. Things I haven't said to anyone, I have already said to him. He makes it easy.

Even last night... I told him I wasn't looking for this or for anything and I wasn't expecting this. But its nice. And I know he likes it too. Weird cuz it just sort of happened. I was kind of fighting it but here I am and I basically have a boyfriend and I'm in a serious, exclusive relationship with him. And I'm still not sure how that happened. And I can't wait to see him tomorrow night.

That's about all I have that I'm sharing right now. I have more... other things on my mind, things I'm worried about but not what I want to share here. Funny, but new guy is one of the only people I shared some of those things with. I guess that says something.

A few minutes to spare

Last night I finally got a really good night of sleep. But today was CRAZY at work. I almost didn't stop all day. My head is throbbing right now, but I'll feel better soon. I'm trying eat something quickly before heading back out.

This week is getting into the 90's! YAY! Wednesday and Thursday. I think I might need to close the window in the house so it doesn't get too hot in here and leave the ceiling fans on for the cats.

Tonight is my golf lesson. Really looking forward to going there again. Just a lot of fun with this group. Then we'll be at the 19th hole for something to eat and some drinks. But of course, here I am typing away when I am supposed to be there in 40 minutes.

I still have to change, get my hat, get a few things together in a bag and hit the ATM on the way. URGH!

Then after golf I'm going to the new guys place. SO that's why I need to grab a bag with a few things... sweats, cell charger and things like that.

It was funny last night... I have spent a lot of time at his house and tonight will be the 3rd night out of the past 4 I've slept there. Him and I have our rooms set up kind of the same. Where the bed headboard is, then the closet to the right, on the right wall, the 2 windows, and on the opposite corner from the closet- a doorway. When I woke up this morning I was a little confused as to where I was... I saw the windows but I didn't know what room I was in! Too funny!

Ahh... ok, time to get moving and get to the golf course. It was nice to sit for a few. I could easily take a nap right now, but not in the cards. Just mentally cooked. Oh well. Summer is here. I can rest when it cools off in the fall! :)

OR... I can start my countdown. 18 more working days left after today until my vacation! :)

Great weekend!

This weekend was busy but SO much fun!!! The Sox game was great. We left in the 13th inning after about 5 hours in Fenway... LONG day. When we got back to the car, we grabbed dinner on the way home. Then we went back to his house to watch the Bruins game. Yeah, we both fell asleep on the sofa during the game. :) Woke up when the news was on saying they lost in OT.

Then I had the 5K on Sunday. SO much fun with a great group. I had a personal best for my time... 32:19. I wasn't even in the mood to be there and didn't want to run. I never pushed myself and kind of went at a slow easy pace for the whole race. And it was a PR? WOW! AND on a hilly course! I'm kind of impressed!

After the race, I went back to his house, showered there, then we went out for dinner. It was a long weekend and I'm still tired, but it was fun.

Tonight I went to the track for a bit and got in a little bit, but my legs are just SO tight and I didn't really feel up to it. SO I just took it easy. My legs needed the rest.

Now I'm just chilling at home and just ate dinner and relaxing. SO ready to go to bed early tonight.

I know the new guy is going to be calling me when he gets out of his class at the gym tonight. Should be pretty soon too. I'm not really up to going out though.. I need a night off to just sleep, and to sleep in my own bed too. But I'd really like to see him again tomorrow night after I have my golf lessons.

Funny... I was completely on the fence with him and really fighting to keep this going slow, then all of a sudden it just happened and I sort of just fell into this thing. Weird. But nice, and fun, and easy too. So I'm just going with things. Its weird, cuz its SO different.

At first I was trying really hard to not compare this to the last one... cuz this guy was losing if I did that, at least on how I felt after X # of dates with either guy. But I can't even compare them now. It wasn't like this with the last guy. I can say anything and have said anything. Things I don't ever talk about with anyone, I have said to him. Just nice to have things this relaxed without pressure or stress, or any uncertainty.

It'll be interesting to see what happens. I'm not where I was with the last guy. I'm not going to Julie World, I'm not thinking, "wow, this could be it!" I'm just kind of in things and in where I'm at. I'm not doing any looking ahead AT ALL. And not in a forced way.... just in a comfortable this is good way. I don't know.. hard to explain. I'm just having a lot fun right now and I wasn't really expecting this at all.

Crazy weekend

I was looking forward to finding a little downtime this weekend but I wasn't sure I was going to get it. Thursday night I went to Pilates, grabbed dinner on my way home, ate, showered, then had a date. (new guy from the same lunch day earlier that day).

It was a pretty last night and I ended up with only getting about 3 hour of sleep on Thursday night. Friday I was exhausted at work! But I got through the day. When I got home from work, I crashed! I hopped right into bed and set the alarm on my phone. Ended up making it to my 7pm dance lesson at 6:58, so all was good!

The dance lesson was a blast! Salsa and Cha-Cha. This is pretty much a completely different group and all newbies, but they did SO well. I was really impressed.

After the lesson, we headed out to the bar for dinner and drinks... well 5 of us did, which included one married couple. They were so nice! As they were getting ready to leave, they offered me a pair of Sox tickets that they couldn't use. Today's game was originally a 7pm game, but because the Bruins are playing tonight, the time was switched to a 1pm game. They couldn't go. Instead of wasting the tickets, they gave them to me for FREE! YAY!

The bar last night got a little strange. It was just a weird crowd, weird even for there. Just an experience. We were going to leave so many times, but it was a train wreck! We just couldn't pull ourselves away from watching all of it! :)

I got home around 12:45 and was on the phone with new guy for a little while (he stayed home last night and just watched a movie). My alarm went off early and after a few times with snooze, I finally got up, had coffee and breakfast then I was out the door just after 8:30. I went and met that couple from last night to pick up the Sox tickets. Now I have them in my possession! (again... YAY!)

I'm trying to figure out how to work the rest of the weekend now. I was going to go to my parents house today, hang out with them for a bit, stop at the bank near them, do laundry at their house, plus take home things I left there last weekend, including my good glasses that my mom picked up for me at my eye doctor near her house.... And then this afternoon I was going out with new guy. We were going to hit the driving range, grab dinner and maybe meet up with some of his friends. I was already planning on crashing at his house and possibly getting ready there tomorrow so I can meet my friends at 8am for a 5K we are going to.

Well... now I'm trying to figure out how to fit all that in now! Not so much the stuff with new guy. He's coming to the game with me, so we'll just work it all out. I already called mom and she was going to that same bank today anyway, so she is just going to transfer my money around for me. At least that's taken care of. But picking up my glasses and the other things I left up there? Laundry? URGH! New guy said I could do it at his house... but I don't know how I feel about that.

I'm already a little not sure about showering there tomorrow morning and getting ready there before my 5K (yes, I shower before a race! I need to wake up!) But right now I am part way through packing up my bags. I have my purse for today with the camera, tickets, sun glasses, Red Sox Nation card ready to go... sun screen is in my beach bag in my trunk. I have a small bag with stuff I want to bring to the race tomorrow including Gatorade, water, and a Luna bar.

Then I have a duffel bag. Another shirt I can change into if we do something else tonight after the game instead of having to stay in Sox clothes (my jeans and flip flops will be fine to stay on), clothes to toss on to sleep in, my running clothes for tomorrow with my sneakers, and I need to pack up shower and bathroom stuff. I'll get all that after I actually take a shower... which is the last thing I need to do.

SO I need to remember that duffel bag, my little bag for the race, my purse for today... and I'm going to toss my laundry in my trunk just in case. If I do it at his house, or if I end up driving up to my parents house tomorrow right after I get back from the race, that way I won't need to stop home first. Too much to figure out!

New guy was cute on the phone last night... I was sort of trying to figure this all out then, rambling about it. He suggested I do my laundry at this house... he said that after the game, we could drive to my parents house and I could get whatever I wanted then. He's just really sweet.

Funny, cuz he's not really the type I generally go for. He's a bit more edgy than any guy I have ever dated. But at the same time we really do have a ton in common, including our backgrounds, upbringing, and even where we grew up. We both live about 30-40 minutes from our parents. Him and I live about 10 minutes away from each other. My parents house is probably about 10 minutes from his parents! Funny.

But as edgy as he is, as tough as he is, he's just sweet, kind and caring. I know it sounds silly to say that he's nice to me, because shouldn't any guy I date be nice to me? I guess its better to say he's kind to me. I don't know. I'm still doing my best to kind of just go with it and see what happens without putting any expectations on anything.

So far so good. I'm having fun with him and with getting to know him.

The rest of the weekend? This is going to be nuts trying to fit everything in! I'm going need a day off to recover from these few days! :) I love summer! I love going and going. Yeah, I'm going to crash at some point. Monday and Wednesday I'm only running. I'll probably stay home Wednesday night after running. I don't know, we'll see. I'm just having fun and enjoying life!

So much for June

I thought that come June 1st, the craziness of May would be gone. Boy was I wrong! Yesterday was INSANE! I had to leave the building to calm down. I've had lots of changes in my work flow, job responsibilities, the lay off last week and then they told me I was moving my desk. Too much too quickly for me.

Today I was moved to the new spot. I don't love it but I'll get used to it. I LOVED my old spot right away. I called it the cave. I was tucked away in a nice little dark corner. Now its bright, I have roommates and more distractions and I just don't love it. I'll figure it out and make it work. I always do.

I had to leave the building today while my computer and phone were switched to my new desk. I had to move everything else after that. To plan around it, I made a lunch date and told IT I would be going out at noon. I almost never take a lunch. And when I do? I don't go out to eat. NEVER. Maybe 5 times in the past 2 or 3 years. I really can't remember the last time I ate out at lunch.

SO today I have a lunch date. There are a million restaurants near my office. It was a beautiful day so we got a table outside. There was one other party sitting at a table outside, about 2 tables away from us. Who was it? My boss and the company president. Seriously! Really? Figures!! :) Oh well.

Ahh... time to get my butt moving. Pilates is in 30 minutes and I'm in my work clothes.
