Hello Stranger

I really am a stranger to my own blog! I supposed it's because for the first time, I'm not an angst-y teenager or young adult; I have a calm, quiet existence. I have two dogs now and a stable, yet quirky, boyfriend. We both go to work and come home to domestic tranquility. We rarely fight because we communicate, but when we do fight, we just give each other space and come back to talk about it when we're ready. No screaming, no uncertainty, no "are we or aren't we together?" The dogs keep us plenty entertained; we love watching them wrestle and run around the apartment or the park.After the horror of the past year and a half, it's refreshing to go to work and come home and relax. Really, the only thing I have to complain about it football. Don't even get me started!

Life is good :)

Home Sweet Home

I can't believe I'm actually going to say this; I am very happy to be back home. I missed the sunshine, warm weather and blue skies. I missed the friendly, familiar faces, but most of all I missed feeling wanted. My family members drove each other crazy when they came to visit me and there were a few times when I kind of regretted asking them to come all the way out to visit me, but I'm happy to be home. I'm actually going to have FUN! No more going to the local bar to drink and simply waste time; I'm going to go out and dance and flirt. I'm not going to bitch about going grocery shopping tomorrow because I will kiss every inch of my favorite grocery store. It really is a place where shopping is a pleasure. I've come to realize that. Tomorrow when I get dressed, I won't need to wear two pairs of leggings plus jeans, thick socks and boots and layer after layer of sweaters and long sleeve shirts and coats and scarves and gloves. Oh no siree, I will wear itty bitty little shorts and teeny tiny tank tops and strappy sandals or cute flip flops. I can relax, be cute, and not have to worry about fat, jealous bitches giving me the evil eye. My sense of humor has already come back and I'm not as uptight and out of the loop anymore. I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22! I can't wait to see all my friends and family again because, yes, I've missed them.
We'll call this chapter of my life a stage, a filler. Maybe a few years from now I'll realize the importance of this chapter, but right now I want out so badly. In about a month or two, I'll start looking to transfer my job, not quit, just transfer to the branch much closer to home. And sunshine. And warm weather.....God and I want to live in New York?????
