A Day In The Life 6.25.12

All of this rain is SO depressing.   I miss the sun!!!!   I could sleep the entire day… and there is just WAY too much to do.  On a lighter note, I think we’ve lost our rainfall deficit all in the matter of 24hrs.

On the dating front, new guy reached out today… through the internet dating site and not via cell phone or text.  Why is that?  We’ve already made contact, had a nice date and said we’d meet again.  Why can’t he just call or send a text?   I’m really keeping my mind and heart open on this one, but it isn’t boding well.  I make very complex decisions every day and tell people what to do (very nicely and diplomatically, I might add).  The last thing I want in a relationship is to take charge there, too.  After a long days work, I want to be taken care of, have decisions made for me and be spoiled.  Is that so wrong?  And where can I find these guys without having a no strings attached relationship?  Do these relationships exist?   I don’t want to be in a relationship where I’m the “mom” whose sole purpose just to take care of him.  Been there… did that and hated it.  The “mommy” relationship truly is a one-way relationship where I feel like I’m on the wrong side of the road getting run over.  I’m a girl who likes to be spoiled and taken care of and in return… I do the same for my man.

Eureka!  That’s it… I’m a conundrum!   By day, I’m mild-mannered business professional who takes charge and accomplishes tasks with million dollar budgets.  By night, I’m just a girl who likes to be a girl and be spoiled by her man. Actually, after that description, I might be a superhero with an alter ego. Great!  Now how in the hell am I going to find me a hunka hunka burnin’ love who wants that?   Eh… I’m happy.  We’ll let nature take its course.  If it’s meant to be, it’ll happen.  In the meantime, I’ll be happy and continue to live my life to the fullest.  Either way, I still get to enjoy every minute of it.

As I write this, I realize that it’s going to be a difficult night to sleep.  Debby’s winds are picking up which blows up the underside of the roof awnings and slams them down.   Perhaps I can drown them out with the sounds of the ocean from my alarm clock.   Relaxing… relaxing… relaxing… SLAM!!!!!!   Relaxing… relaxing… relaxing… SLAM!!!!!!   This could be interesting.  I may find myself in the fetal position begging my body to let me sleep.

On that note… there’s always tomorrow.

A Day In The Life 6.23.12

If there is one thing that can be learned today is that one should never sit on their ass when there is so much to do.  Today I had a perfect opportunity to do nothing today but watch TV, snack on foods all day and perhaps dance between my computer and the couch checking email, Facebook and Pinterest.   My aunt let me know that because the crappy weather continues… our scheduled pool party was cancelled.  I knew that tomorrow the weather would be worse (which resulted in the cancellation of the kayaking trip as well) and I could NOT sit at home for two days.  So… I made an important move… I called a friend and scheduled a lunch.

Not only did we catch up on life over the past few years… (my divorce, her becoming a grandmother and just life in general), we stretched our afternoon to do a little shopping.  We tackled World Market, Victoria’s Secret’s (affectionately called Vicki’s) Semi Annual Clearance Sale and a similar sale at Bath & Body Works.  Laughing the entire time and just being girls.   Not only that… called out a teenage girl who felt she could cut in line as we waited to purchase our highly discounted deals.  The five hours of quality time that we spent together would have been completely lost if we both decided that staying home today was a more important activity.   As I sit on the computer tonight, sipping an incredible wine that was purchased at World Market this afternoon, I can’t help but think how we sometimes get so wrapped up in our busy lives where it IS more important to do nothing on the weekends to allow ourselves to recoup from the week that we lose touch with the people who live and breathe all around us.  Social media, texting and email make the world a much smaller place, however, we can’t seem to see or have a face to face conversation with those located nearby.   And today, I couldn’t be more thankful to have made the step to reach out and do something.

Tomorrow, I’ll pledge to do something similar.   However, due to the fact that I DO need to stick around the house because I have my weekly tasks to accomplish to prepare for the week ahead, I will head out and do a little something to avoid my ass getting bigger.

No news on the dating front.  Not even from new guy who mentioned possibly getting together tonight.  I’m ok with it, though.  I’m not a clingy girl and don’t want to spend every available moment together.  Spending time focusing on one person does not bode well for a healthy relationship, anyway.   I’m a firm believer that you have to continue to grow as a person and surround yourself with great people.  I’m truly blessed to have that now (today being a perfect example of that)… why would I want to narrow that very beautiful place of support and gratitude  by honing in on just one person?

There you have it… some deep thoughts.  We’ll see what life has to offer tomorrow.  🙂
