I'm baaaack....

Not that anyone has really noticed that I've been gone, but I'm back anyway. I like writing in here and I should do it more often. Besides, I pay for the damn membership - I should use it!

Right now, I am sitting on my bed with my laptop. I am listening to a man sleep beside me. In a few short months, my life has been changed by this man in ways I could not have imagined. I've been divorced for almost 4 years. I've dated a bit, had one real relationship but I had pretty much resigned myself to being alone for the rest of my life. I could not really conceive of falling in love again. That portion of my life seemed to be closed. It's for young kids, it's not going to happen to me, it's OK - I've got my kids and my friends and that is enough.

Guess what? It isn't enough. But I never knew that until I met this man. Suddenly, I am every cliche I've ever heard. I can't imagine my life without him now. I just got back from vacation and he couldn't come with me and I spent a good part of the week in Vermont missing him so fiercely it was a physical pain I carried with me. Do I sound like a drooling idiot? That's ok - I laugh at myself too. I'm in love and my biggest fear is being alone in love. I hope that won't happen, but my walls have come down faster than his. I will wait. For a while.

On other fronts, I have 2 job offers in front of me. Fairly amazing for someone who couldn't get hired as dog catcher 2 years ago when I lost my high-paying job. Now I have my pick of one job for $90K plus bonuses and another for $100K plus bonuses. Not bad. Not bad at all. I received both offers during last week while I was on vacation. It's a bit weird to try and focus on things like this while you are on vacation. My brain just didn't want to think about this stuff. Now that I am back home I can mull things over a bit. Either way I go, it looks like I will be heading back on the Silver Snail and heading into Manhattan. Since the man sleeping next to me works in NYC too, this is a good thing.

A new job will give me more fodder for this site. Can't wait to see what happens next!
