Dan and I went out again with his friends on Friday. We saw a movie and then danced at the Mercury. Then we visited their other friend. Before we went, he barbequed some pork ribs. I noticed he gave me a huge piece and took a modest one himself. I shared mine with him and he had one more when one friend didn't show up. I noticed the chivalry of ( Read more... )

did I mention I am in love? I received our astrological compatibility and it was really neat. Felt right. IT makes me optimistic ( Read more... )

this is a test.

On my desk I see a small, legible note that is a list of lists I need to make. One of them is a list of to-do in the morning, every morning, as a reminder to actually take care of myself. I seem to slip from my schedule, or at least I was prior to meeting Dan. I saw the reminder, and I do need to make some routine lists for K as well, but I have a ( Read more... )

It's hard to care about (or focus on, really) anything other than having a new sweetie. Everything else is so tenuous right now, like my financial situation, that it's hard to feel sustainable enough to plan ahead. But this is what I have, and I am sure I can get organized enough. I just need to keep things in balance and stay disciplined, not get ( Read more... )

I spent a night at my man's house. It was blissful and entertaining. Right before I headed over there I became a bit anxious. What if we don't like each other that much? I worry about thinking of him while we are apart and getting excited about my ideas of him, and then not finding the reality to match. But things were lovely and wonderful. I am ( Read more... )

The neat thing about having a new relationship is that I seem to be reconnecting with old friends too. I had a great talk with Susie about my new man, and I was stoked. She is so fun. I had a really interesting reaction to his astrology. Based on knowing just a small amount, I felt like I could read an interpretation of his life in the astrology ( Read more... )

Oh well, reality sets in. A series of changing plans left him lazy at home and not wanting to pay $12 to see the show I was a part of. That's no biggie, but after saying he was into it and then canceling the same afternoon, I ended up feeling like it was a measure of worth. As Suze Orman says, I am not on sale. He spent money drinking the prior ( Read more... )

I woke up at 5 am and tossed and turned until now. I did not eat yesterday until dinner, and then I was unable to eat very much because it had been so long. That is the weirdest thing. I feel like I have been drawing sustenance from his body. I also got only 5 hours of sleep, but for some reason, I couldn't sleep more. I just woke up thinking about ( Read more... )

It's all there. Now that I have had some time to talk and verify some of the things I would have guessed, I find I am right and we are a really good match. It wasn't love at first sight, because it developed over a weekend and sight had nothing to do with it. For me ( Read more... )
