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.

Week 253, Come mutter with me!

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.

One month left. Is it too late?

Let’s update on the 7 in 2007 list, shallwe?

1. Bring my GPA up to 3.0 or higher

I did bring my GPA up, but it will not break the 3.0 mark. Dropping out last spring with “the thorn in my side” didn’t help a whole lot.

2. Exercise more

Accomplished, if only because “exercise more” is so freaking vague. However, according to my lovely physician, I lost 30 pounds from 9/2006 to 9/2007.

3. Take instruction in tai chi

Newp. Didn’t happen. Registered for a class, then decided that sitting on the sofa with little boys piled on my lap was better for us all the way ’round. I’m out enough as it is with school and work.

4. Get out of the house and into some new/different social situations.

Most decidedly accomplished. I still have really seriously awkward moments – it takes me entirely too long to move on from an ended conversation. I’m most proud of my attendance at ConvergeSouth 2007. An entire weekend surrounded by strangers in unfamiliar environments and not a panic attack in sight.

5. Better blog posts

Once again – “better” is a vague description. Has my writing improved? Yes. Is there better writing in there? absolutely.

6. work up my yarn stash

heh. haha. *snort* hahahahahahahahahahahaha *thud*

No.

7. Travel more with the kids

We went to Mamaw’s Big Birthday Bash in July, and that was it. A lovely idea, but since I’m the only adult, travel is quite simply more than I can handle. All the driving, kid management in a new environment (difficult even before I drive for a few hundred miles), and then getting myself settled down? Thanks, I’ll just stay home and we’ll daytrip.

Don’t worry, I’m already working on my list for next year. It’s going to be a good list, too. Just like everyone else’s.

*heh*

Unconscious Mutterings Week 252

No, I haven’t done all two hundred fifty-two of them. I probably should, though.

  1. Music :: classical
  2. Insanity :: isn’t just a diagnosis, it’s a way of life.
  3. Curtain :: call
  4. Nickname :: Tink
  5. Container :: flatbed
  6. Roast :: beep, beddy thing***
  7. Thong :: no. Just no.
  8. Purple :: people eater
  9. Holidays :: havoc
  10. Christmas tree :: tradition

***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).
