Wednesday, September 27 Mad with power! In general, I'm pretty happy, which has a lot to do with Chris of course. I'm not going to sit here and gush all over (because he will read this eventually and he's already got an ego with its own orbit ;)) but I'm just really happy, and getting more secure and comfortable with him, and us, everyday. I guess I feel like I'm in uncharted territory here... being older, wiser, having learned things from past relationships. I guess I just feel more grounded and comfortable, it's helping me be "me" in a bunch of ways that I'm not sure I've ever really been able to express - without all the fear. Probably many ways that he could do without... lol :) Thank God he's a patient man. Job wise, things are steady, but not looking good on the long-term front. The company I'm doing most of my freelance work with is slowly selling off parts, and I suspect I'll be fortunate to have steady time there through the end of the year. One of two things will happen when that dries up... I'll have to start knocking on old freelance doors hoping they have work (problem is that a lot of my old clients starting doing everything in house to lower costs... so they just stopped having as many projects). If that doesn't work out, well... probably going to have to go back to a full-time job. I REALLY don't want to do that, since I've made it 4 years with full-time freelance, but I'll explore my options and see what comes of it. There are placement services in the area that specifically cater to my line of work, so ... if I have to try that out, I may. Honestly, I have a bit of a "head in the sand" feeling about it right now... but I am going to get my resume back in order, just in case. My family is doing ok, my parents even went away for a few days together over this past weekend. It wasn't a "reunited" type of thing, but a sign of communication at the very least. I feel better now, knowing that no matter the outcome - they will probably always remain friends now. Hmm... the boys are good... furry, fat, funny as hell. :) Can't think of much else to share right now, so hope all is well with you guys! :) posted by AM | 9/27/2006 12:21:00 AM Sunday, September 10 I'm back, baby! Wow, I've been gone forever and a day it seems. It's been a crazy summer. Slightly busy, but lots to sort out and things happening in my personal life. I'm starting to feel a little more settled and even now though... so time to post again. :) So, I mentioned before I had a bit of a social life.... and it's developed into something, I'm happy to report. :) Back in May, I met a couple of great guys... which is good, but I'm a terrible juggler, it makes me feel weird, and splits my emotions, and I'm just not a "play the field" kind of girl. However, I did get to know both of these guys for a while. One is Chris, he's from the UK. I'm not going to mention the other, but not because he's a footnote or something... he's a wonderful, great, amazing guy. He'll always be part of my life I hope, but I've got another path to explore now. I liked them both a lot, but was also very honest from the get-go that I'd met them both at the same time, etc. I could never be playing things behind the scenes, just not me. So, Chris came to visit me during NAAFA, and although it was a very hard week (for me, I was emotional, and I honestly can't even imagine how he put up with me... )we got along really well and I just finally remembered what it's like to be that comfortable and open with someone - I missed it. He's an amazing guy, and I was sad by mid-week that he'd be leaving soon. He was a trickster though, and had a second week planned with me, but didn't tell me until he was here... as a surprise, and also to make sure that we got on well enough to want to spend another week together. :) I have to say, that was probably one of my best presents in a long time. Our second week involved me working a bit (that's what happens when you surprise people, guys!), but we spent free time doing goofy things like mini-golf, bowling, seeing an exhibit in Boston, etc. So, he's my guy, I'm his girl, and we're giving this a shot. He's home in the UK now, and it's VERY hard... I don't know if it was this hard last time around, or if it's just harder now because of last time around... but it's been two weeks, and I think I'm getting a little better. Settling into our "routine" while we're apart. I'll be heading over there for a visit... hopefully sooner than later, but we'll see - there's no rush other than wanting to see each other. So, I've been wanting to shout out about this for a couple of weeks... and I guess this is my way. I MET A GREAT GUY AND I'M REALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT! :) Thanks for reading, and here we are... :)
