The Last 'Hump' Before Vacation

This is my last Hump Day before vacation!  I'm not even doing anything for the first 1/2 of the week, but I don't care.  It's the fact that I can shut off my phone and ignore work for 9 whole days! (Who am I kidding, my phone won't be off and I'll still get emails from my helpless boss, but my out of office assistant will apply).   After my glorious 3 days of hanging out on the beach (that's my current plan) I'll be heading to VA to hang out with good old G'ma and G'pa, which I'm actually really excited about.  First of all, neither of them have seen my weight loss (which is almost up to 41lbs) and second of all, I haven't seen them since Christmas, which was entirely too long ago.  Madre and I have the shopping, winery and spa route all mapped out! It should be a good time.

In other news, everything is still going well with golfer.  I recently admitted to my cousin that I was kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.  As much as I wrote about, hoped about, prayed about finding someone that I was compatible with, could completely be myself around and could make me laugh 24/7...I never thought I would actually 'get' him and now I'm kind of at a stand still because I don't want to 'ruin' it.  I think part of it is based on past relationships (being cheated on, finding out about a baby and baby mama, being chased with a bottle by an ex, etc).  I'm not used to 'normal', I'm not used to 'healthy' so this is an entirely different ball game for me and I'm trying my best to play my way through with as few errors as possible. I've even said things in passing to golfer that would scare anyone in their right mind (ie 'the psychic said our first born is a girl and the rest of the kids - up to 5 - will all be boys' or even better 'my wedding has basically been planned since I was 10, but recently I decided I want a NYE wedding with lots of glitz and glamour) and he doesn't even flinch.  I'm taking this to mean that he's either fully accepted my 'crazy' or when he says he loves me, he actually means it.

Whatever the reason, my goal for the rest of the month is to think happy/positive thoughts and enjoy the moment, because it's not often I get exactly what I want (Mom, if you want to change that, the Burberry coat is on sale at Nordstrom until Friday :-) )

Sigh of Relief

Whew...I can breathe now.  Last night was the double date between golfer and I and two of my friends.  I'm not sure I've ever really been on an official double date before, or that I've ever introduced someone I was 'seriously' dating to my friends, so I was a little anxious to see how this was going to play out.  I'm happy to report that it was PERFECT really good. 

Texts from friends:
"I'm sorry we r insane, I like him tho"
"U surte I realy didn't wanna brung up the wedding, but he is totes thining sooner than 2020 omg u r getting married toooooooO!!!!!!"  (can you tell there was a little bit of drinking involved?)
"He is nice and good" (My favorite after dinner text...LOL)
"I can tell he has spunk we r just intimidating....He seemed perfect....So happy for u"

Text from golfer:
"I had a lot of fun"

You can tell who's the more vocal of the two...but I love them both!  I couldn't be any happier, but if this mini hangover would disappear, that would be great.

Foto Friday

Since my boss hasn't been in the office to annoy me for the last few days, I've gone a little Pinterest crazy.  I find myself pinning pictures of bridesmaid gift ideas, nurseries and insanely unhealthy deserts.  And no, I'm not getting married, having a baby or quitting Weight Watchers...see the issue here? However, one thing on Pinterest that I do love, is a good Ecard or quote picture. I took the lazy way out of Foto Friday a few weeks ago and went Ecard crazy, but today, is quote day!

I know this isn't nice, but it made

me laugh

 



Damn right!

Yet another Wednesday...

It's Wednesday!  I've made it half way through one of my last full weeks of summer in the office....I feel like the Little Engine that could, I'm constantly saying "I think I can, I think I can".  I didn't mention this in the 4th of July post, but golfer was supposed to come to the fireworks in my town, I was super excited, I think there's something cute about laying on a blanket and "oohhing" and "ahhhing" over the colors.  He ended up getting sick and not being able to make it...I was upset for a hot second, but then realized that it wasn't exactly the atmosphere that I wanted everyone to meet him in and decided that everything happens for a reason.

He's totally making it up to me though, by going on our first double date.  I should probably explain to you that golfer and I are pretty different in the socialization aspects of our lives.  If I'm not with him, I'm out with friends or family, or at the gym or doing something.  I like being social, I love being around people and I love talking to strangers.  He's the complete opposite.  He would be content with me, a couch and a tv with an unlimited supply of movies. Don't get me wrong, he speaks, just not nearly as much as I do.  But because I'm me, there is obviously a freak out moment heading my way...

What if it's awkward?  What if no one talks?  What if it drags on forever?  What if golfer decides my friends are nuts and he's never meeting any of my other friends?  AHHHH, the possibilities are endless.  However, I think everyone is going to get along just fine and I. Can. Not. Wait.

Wonderful

Oh boy....
