I have decided to make this my new blog home. I have been writing on another site riddled with drama and adults acting like 13 year old girls. Over it.
But let's not make this a negative post, as I may perhaps get some new readers. I am cantankerous at times; but at heart a pollyanna.
I am currently undergoing some serious changes in my life. I have been out of work (thank you economy) for over a year and am finally seeing some viable options. Not necessarily in my field, but things that are a good fit. Fingers crossed.
I have also met the love of my life. Some of you that may know me from elsewhere may be surprised to hear me say it. I was not expecting to find him where I did, but it happened. Can I get all girly and tell you?
I actually found his blog on a dating site. I was simply drawn to him. He was intelligent - a huge turn on for me. - and there was just something about him. Then I saw that he lived in California. What?! Annoying. But then he came to my blog and we exchanged comments, pretty innocuous in nature. He decided to totally man up and email me. He mentioned something like "I am not sure if you are feeling this too" I was like "yup, sure am" And a romance was born.
We see each other every two weeks and talk on the phone every night for hours. I never wanted a long distance relationship and it is difficult at times. Being faithful - that's the easy part. I don't want to be with anyone else. It's just hard not to physically be together. Yes, this Chicago girl may be moving out to Cali. He is everything that I have wanted in a partner. It's quite amazing.
Mush, I know. But it is what is going on in my world.
Love, when it's real, means distance is just a small thing in the big picture.
ReplyDeleteYou look happy and that makes everyone around you happy!
Agreed. The distance seems so insignificant.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am!
Hey, stop insulting my 13-year-old! Can we call them much younger with higher brain function?
ReplyDeleteI happen to like mush, my dear Arty. After reading this, I finally figured out who you're talking about. Yeah, I'm slow. I'm so happy for you!
Ha!
ReplyDeleteI re-read this on the plane and thought: 3 year olds behave better.
:)
Hope you are feeling better today!

ReplyDeleteThanks sugar. We did not make a super announcement about it. I have been feeling a lack of privacy there anyway. People are nutso.
I am very happy!
Bubbles - You are right! Children do behave better. It's ridiculous and frankly, our time together made me realize that I do not belong there. Drama really stresses me out.
ReplyDeleteI do feel better this evening. I am glad that I got to spend some time with you though.
I stayed clear of the 13-year-old behavior on the other site, thankfully. I won't miss the ghetto user interface, though. It's like, "2002 called. They want their look and feel back."
ReplyDeleteOh, sweetheart. Sending that first email to you felt more like an imperative than a choice. How could I not? When you wrote back, I almost passed out because I was so happy. The distance and time apart are much more than worth it to be with you.
I am so glad you were compelled. Best decision ever - for both of us.
ReplyDeleteBeing in love has made you all soft and squishy and prehaps you are now even more womderful? I still don't know who it is but I am going to follow the money and find out!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet friend, Celect, thank you. I think perhaps it has! I hope you start blogging here as well. I need a change of scenery!
ReplyDeleteYou are a doll, woman! I am so glad you are happy and I am so glad I finally got to meet you!!
ReplyDelete@ Atlanta Red - same here lady! I am sorry that I had to bail on you on Saturday. I was having issues. I hope you had a good time in the city!
