Confession Wednesday: Quick, I Need Lunch! edition

I confess that the photo above displays my two loves.
I confess that, although I'm skeptical of "love at first sight," I do believe in synergy and strong attractions. Case in point -I loved my cousin Jaleesa (above) before I knew her. My whole life I took it for granted that this is how it is with younger family members -you just love them. I'm beginning to understand that it's not quite that simple. Only a few of my other familial connections mirror my relationship with Jaleesa. I met her ready to love, and then I grew that feeling stronger. Case in point my partner -he and I were very different people back in 1994, but I liked him from the get-go. I remember the moment, the click of interest and recognition, walking down a beach-town street with friends. We kept the letters up, and visits back and forth, and look where we are today: walking down the street in Providence to a dinner to celebrate Jaleesa's graduation from Brown.
I confess that D and I worked together to produce a well-written (I hope!) and good-looking resume that I sent off to the first open position I've applied to since 2005. I've met one of my 2011 goals (produce a resume during spring 2011)! Next order of business, produce a written review for my current job -since I didn't get reviewed last year.
I confess that I've finally given in and created a tag for posts that talk about co-counseling/re-evaluation counseling. A few weeks back, I met up with someone in the community whom I really like and respect, and we had a conversation that gave me a new leash on the whole thing. The end result is I'm taking a little more ownership of what I want from it.
I confess that I have plans to improve my blog-life this summer. More on this later -and also some questions for you!
I confess that, this morning, I listened to the squirrels talk among themselves. I'm not entirely sure, but I think they were discussing the upcoming thunderstorm that I hadn't known about and nearly got caught in during my bike ride to work.
