He curled up in that spot at 8AM, as I was driving my daughter to school. He hasn’t moved from that nice warm blankie-covered spot in nearly 2 1/2 hours. So far, I’ve catered to him: breakfast, koolaid, toast with butter with the crusts cut off (of course).
Okay, I’m done.
It’s over. Finished, kaput, fin.
I know I haven’t given you a blow-by-blow of the last month, so let me do that now.
He has called me every day, and asked for permission to call the next day.
He is in love, calls me his precious, his love, and tells me I’m more beautiful every time he sees me.
He wants to be married in a year, maybe.
I do not give my heart so easily. I like him. I appreciate his attentions, but am in no way shape or form in love. To be completely frank, the last time he told me I was beautiful I accused him of intoxication (In my defense, I’d been at work for 8 hours and was having one of those bloated uncomfortable “omg I’m a TROLL” days).
Neither am I ready to speak of marriage.
For a few brief moments, I felt badly that I didn’t return his sentiment. I do LIKE the guy, after all.
But.
Guilt is a horrible foundation for a relationship, and I did indeed feel guilty about not being as ready as he is to commit.
But.
Last night I tried again to explain to him that I felt as much, and found that it’s not about me, it’s about him. He kept kissing me and wouldn’t let me speak. I tried to push him away so I could speak, and he wouldn’t release me.
It’s frustrating enough with the language and cultural differences, but to think that kisses can change my mind is naive at best.

The end of the semester is upon me. Between now and December 11th, I must complete my portfolio, study for a 6-chapter cumulative exam, write a (minimum) 3 page paper, and um. There’s something else I’m forgetting…
At any rate, content will be even lighter than usual (did you think that was even possible?).
Kissykisses, and love each other!
A nugget of wisdom for you:
When deciding if the glass is half-full or half-empty
please check to make sure it is indeed your glass.

***Once upon a time, I worked in a grocery store deli. I had one delightful customer with a heavily “non native speaker” accent come in once a week and that was how she placed her order (roast beef, very thin).
