Funny how
Funny how I haven't posted in nearly a year. Funny how, when things are good, I've got nothing to say. Actually...who am I kidding...I've had this page open for almost two hours now, trying to write this post.
I just find life so interesting sometimes. Our connections with people. Our magnetic pull. Our immediate repulsion. Our total apathy. ( Read more... ) -
From my memoir writing class
I was new to Tucson and so was he. We’d both moved from the other side of the country and found ourselves plopped down in the middle of a desert with no friends and no idea where to even begin. He sauntered into my office earlier that day to introduce himself as new to the area and then we found that we had a lot in common. We agreed to meet later ( Read more... ) -
March Madness
So the time has come...as it seems...
I met the parents yesterday. I thought I'd be meeting them on Saturday but then yesterday around 11 a.m., I get a call from him asking what I'm doing for lunch.
"Don't eat until 12...we might be having lunch with my parents," he said.
Um. Wow...way to catch me off guard. So I showered and got ready and at 12:15 we ( Read more... ) -
Mmm, what you say? Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
So my list of things to do in 2010 is still hanging around. Instead of resolutions this year, I decided to make a list of things to do. The list was short and I feel like I'll be able to get them all done...it's kinda coming together. It's all about my intentions, you see...I mean well...I mean to get them done...so hopefully I will.
The list...

Advice from friends
It's funny how we all give relationship advice to each other...even if the person on the receiving end doesn't ask for it. I think it's the nature of being a human...and a friend ( Read more... ) -
Breathing
Breathing. I highly recommend it.
Breathe and count to 10 or something.
I get all worked up about a lot of things and I've found that lately, if I breathe...it helps bring it down a notch.
I sat in therapy today and discussed how difficult it is for me to accept my current reality as...well...reality. Like...things are going so well in several ( Read more... ) -
Welcome February
How in the world is it already February? And how in the world is it February 2010? I feel like yesterday it was 2003. I started blogging in January 2003...the old blog...I was writing everyday and totally falling in love with someone across the ocean. And then I moved across the ocean. And then my heart broke into a trillion little pieces and I ( Read more... ) -
25 weeks
It's been 25 weeks since my last update. How embarrassing. I'm not sure why I took such a long hiatus. I'm no busier than the next person...I just...I think I lost my spark or something. I had nothing to say ( Read more... ) -
Loose ends
After meeting O on Saturday...we decided that we'd try to meet Monday between the end of my day and the beginning of his night shift. And we knew he had Wednesday off so we could also meet on Wednesday. I wasn't so surprised when he canceled on me on Monday. He called a few times in the afternoon and we discussed meeting up and what time. He said ( Read more... ) -
It's a big girl world...
It's a big girl world now
Full of big girl things
And everyday I wish I was small
I've been counting on nothing
But he keeps giving me his word...
***
Sometimes I feel like hiding under my bed. Or like when I was little...if I got scared at night, I'd pull the covers up over my head. The reasoning was that if I couldn't see the boogie man, he ( Read more... )
