Content and quiet, yes, life is damned good. I am looking forward to going back to the states, and I miss the kids, but the daily stuff is going well.
We head back to the states in January, so we still have 7 months here. It seems weird to have such a small amount of time left but have it feel like so far away.

Been busy doing lots of ... hrm... stuff?! Last weekend Rob and I went on a bike rally to a town near Worms. It wasn't anything like what Americans think of, a'la Sturgis and what-have-you with lots of Harleys and boobs, much more low-key and every kind of bike you can imagine. Pictures will be here shortly.
Then Sunday I went to Belgium with Melissa. We went to some town Marihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01728060749745342126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4051442.post-1078363266664025902004-03-03T17:21:00.000-08:002004-03-03T17:24:48.966-08:00Put the scissors DOWN
I'm no longer allowed to cut my own hair I've determined. I snip a little here, a little there, even this out... right now I look like one of those 20's film stars with those ridiculous short black bobs, complete with the little swirl/wave on the one side.

Certain person who's name shall go unmentioned (though it rhymes with MARK) has gently reminded me that my diary has long been left unattended and I ought to update it, so here I am.

Hoping everyone I know had a good time for the Holidays, and have a good new year.
I got goodies! A new video camera and a trip to Paris for New Years, whoo hooo! I can't wait to see the Louvre. The Eiffel Tower trip to the top I can do without (is he nuts?! I'm afraid of heights!). I think his plan is to make me hold on to him.. the perv.

I do miss it. A lot. I'm watching my friend's kids for her. Three children. I love my friend dearly and would do anything for her (obviously) and I love these kids, but I miss my life :( I miss my cat. I miss my sofa. I miss my bed. I miss my coffeemaker.

Random thoughts, fears and anxieties weigh heavily on the mind when the soul is uneasy. Wishing you peace. Wishing I could be the one to give you that peace, but knowing I can't. Wanting to move forward, to get past it, and feeling guilty for looking ahead and hoping to find something pleasant. I should be tortured, I should be torn apart. I should be a great many things.

So far so good, slow going but ok I think. He's funny, enthusiastic and if we could just get the love-sick moon-eyes to relax a bit I think we'll have a wee bit more fun. It did dawn on him though, that I can't miss him if he doesn't go away, so he vowed to back off a bit and try a more "go with the flow" kind of mentality. I much prefer that.

He is 6'3, has brown hair, green eyes and is really quite handsome. He says he's made some mistakes in the past but that he's working very hard towards being the man he wants to be, and that he is very interested in me and wants to spend some time with me. He's taking me to an Italian restaurant he says he's sure I'll like.

Torpor
DEFINITION: extreme mental and physical sluggishness
EXAMPLE: After surgery, the patient experienced torpor until the anesthesia wore off.
SYNONYMS: apathy, languor
Useless word I tell ya.

It's weird, but nice too. A little lonely. I'm used to having someone around, but it's nice too because there's no more moping and awkwardness. I started looking around wondering what I'd change about the house. Of course I might not be staying there much longer either though, so who knows.

Every day I read it it gets worse. If only we had, if only we'd known, if only we'd thought of... Of what? Been better prepared how?

No, it is not. It is young, not even middle-aged in our current "take these vitamins and drink this juice and live to be so old you can't wipe your ass anymore" society. So, this is me *not* freaking out about my age. But some people don't believe me. It's like highschool sometimes but with a bank account and a house full of stuff. Hell no I don't want to go back.

I think about the things I've either discovered or accepted as truth in the past, and reevaluate my experiences and perceptions to determine where I now stand.

Say what? Ok... I kept getting comments from people along the lines of "I don't know how you do it, you do so much how do you find the time to rest?" At which point I would admit to myself that I don't, actually, find time to rest. So I decided to do something about it finally. Hence, the emptier plate and spring in my step.
