To be continued (part 3)…
“But when a young lady is to be a heroine, something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.”
~ Jane Austen
have you ever had a friend that came out of one relationship, only to trip and fall head-over-heels into another one almost immediately? maybe the timing seemed a bit too close? maybe it initially looked like a rebound? maybe you were worried your friend forgot how to be happy alone? maybe you figured something *must* be wrong because it all looked too good, too fast?
well, if you haven’t had a friend like that before… you do now.
i’ve had a couple of people close to me say “well, it’s not that soon,” so maybe i’m just used to being single for long stretches at a time. maybe i’m more cynical than i thought and expected this to be a lot more difficult or complicated or confusing. maybe i was too busy looking back to notice the pothole in front of me and fell *ker-splat* heels-vs-head before i realized what was happening and could protect myself.
maybe i still would have jumped in with both feet (and a little side heel-click) even if i had been looking straight ahead.
and all i can say is: every time i plan something, things fall apart and fall back together in a way that causes me to gasp and blink and exclaim “OH! i had no idea it could be THAT good!”
a little over 4 months ago, it was St. Patrick’s Day. and i had no idea life could be this good.

There you go, stringing us along again… ;)

heh, I get it. I’m the “other half” of one of those, and I occasionally get a case of the “oh god, am I a rebound?” paranoids.
But for me, at least, I think it’s helping my usual “race in headlong and fall flat on my face” tactics, as both of us are a little nervous and keep slamming on the brakes at different times… only to be coaxed back forward by the other…
It’s rather delicious. :)

He sounds sweet, but leaving mangled plants on your doorstep is a little creepy.

As another “other half” of one of those – all I can say is that only you and your special mister can decide what the right time is, and more often than not, things happen exactly when and how they’re supposed to :D

YAY! *hugs* I’m so glad that you’re happy!

As far as I know, love can’t read the calendar. So don’t sweat it.

Life is pretty good I will agree with everyone on here. I am happy that you are happy and I hope that it continues for a long time to come. Say 50 yrs. give or take : ) : P

so, um… when you show up for your 6:30 flight at 6:20 and laughing off the fact that you’re still drunk and you smell… that’s a clue.
just sayin’ ;)

[...] smarter, funnier and better looking than the day I kissed him at the St. Patty’s party two years ago. He thinks he’s gotten rounder in the midsection, but I don’t see growing love [...]
