:: i'm a happy slacker ::

I haven't worked out in over a week. ACK! Yes, I know bad me. I have a really good reason for slacking though. I met a man. Truth be told I've known him since I was about 5 but haven't seen him for about 25 years. Funny how life throws you those curveballs every now and then. We literally looked at each other and my stomach did that flip flop sort of thing and the rest is history. Now it's time to explore the world of dating someone for the first time since I was 23! Yikes. Kidding, it's all good. I just have to adjust to driving back and forth to the Jersey shore again because that is where he lives.

I told the X to plan on getting used to me being around down there more often than I was. So, I will be seeing more of Babydog again. Yay! Poor puppy really was so tired Friday from the sun and running around so our visit was forty minutes or so long.  Alright, time to stop slacking at work and get something done. Not sure what though, I seriously am SO caught up at work that I'm having to search for stuff to do. Damn shouldn't have put that out there, now all hell will break loose this week.

Adios all!

Babydog!!

Saw him today for the first time in 8 months. This was him exhausted after an hour of ball throwing and retrieving. Have to take some pictures of my other reason the stupid grin hasn't left my face since July 4th. Will post when I take some. Off to wait for that reason to get home from work.

:: nostalgia, yet again ::

It's a common theme for me. But it really hit me right between the eyes last night. Unfortunately, it happened for sad reasons. A childhood best friends mother passed away. Those occasions always call for mini reunions with people and that is a shame because we shouldn't wait for times like this to get together.

Kathy and her brother were friends with myself and my brother George. I can remember spending an uncountable number of hours at their house, in their yard, in their pool. Kathy and I having those early hormone stirred up feelings for her next door neighbor. Keeping a close watch out her living room window to see if we could spot him. lol. Funny thing was, he went to the same damn school as us. Later on, in high school he and I were in marching band together for years and ran in the same circle of friends. It's even funnier to think that I chased him around the schoolyard when I was about 5 yr's old and used to actually catch up to his skinny older boy @$$. Even at 5, I was chasing the boys. Talking with our friend Jennifer and her mother there last night (Stacey,, Bollinger,, NOT the other one,, shudder the thought) we were talking about just how many kids there were in a 4 blocks radius. There was SO many of us back then. I believe, my brother and his friends led the pack cause they were the oldest, I think. At least that's what I remember.

Having not seen my brother's friend Nick and cousin's Lisa and Donna for so many years made me miss him even more. I was trying to think back to certain times and events that happened and it made me so homesick for that time. If I could just close my eyes and capture a little bit for just a few minutes. What I wouldn't do for that. Funny how some of the people there, Kathy and Nick's other cousins weren't exactly positive they could remember me. Probably because I was quiet and shy back then, I just wanted to blend into the background back then. Still shy, still quiet at times but tend to spill all the beans here. Can't shut me up when the fingers are gliding across the keyboard.

Alright,, the dryer has shut off, time to get the clothes out before they wrinkle, 1 load down 5 to go. UGH. Time to move my bootie because I want to workout and go get mani-pedi's done as well.
