    I'm on my way now. I might be a little sweaty because it's 75 F here and I was outside picking up dog poop with my new pooper scooper. Yes, my life is filled with new and exciting things. :)  Tina, don't forget to pick up Steph.

    Oh, I am soooo ready for the Tiki bar or any bar for that matter. I can't tell if the worst of this storm has moved passed my office or if it's on the way. I looked on the weather channel and it looked scary. I want to leave but I don't want to get stuck in it.

    Regarding long distance relationships. I think they're a huge challenge under the best of circumstances but the only one I've had was with an alcoholic. He'd say he was going to call many evenings and I wouldn't hear from him until 11 or 11:30 my time which was 2 or 2:30 his time. I took those horrid, drunken calls much longer than I should have until one night I started unplugging the phone and the rest was history. Big Smile

    Cita, I feel for you.  I've been in 3 long distance relationships and IMO, you need to be able to talk to keep the connection going.  First relationship, the guy called me all the time - I had no space.  It was as if he didn't trust me.  Second guy is the one I stuck w/ for 7 years and he seldom phoned or emailed me.  It was completely opposite of the first guy.  In fact, 2nd guy always reminded me it cost him money to call me.  I repeatedly asked him to communicate with me, to little or no avail.  When he did talk, it was either to lecture me or tell me the world was against him.  I seldom saw him during the last 3 years of our relationship.  I finally realized I couldn't live like that.  I needed some meaningful communication and he wouldn't give an inch.  I always felt like an inconvenience to him. This time, with my friend I'm seeing, we talk about once a week. He doesn't have email outside of work.  I never feel like I'm bothering him if I call.  He'll call me, too. He doesn't talk a lot, but when we do, I feel like I'm important to him.

    Now, you say you've never had another b/f.  Are you his first g/f?  Maybe being apart has him looking for what he thinks he missed, that he doesn't know if he's ready for commitment.  I'm throwing that out there, of course, not knowing much about the whole picture.

    Relationships are tough, esp. long distance.  And if you keep running into this stuff with your b/f now, how will it be in 5 years?  The make-up sex can only repair so much.

     

     

    What she said! 

    I have agility class tonight with Tasha. *My* first class in over a year. I've been teaching the last two years several nights a week which hasn't left much room for me to take a class, so I'm excited about that.  And Kota is ready to go, he keeps running out to the front room and I swear I just let them out!!

    I'm looking forward to the weekend and some time to do whatever and the weather may be good so a hike will be in order.

    I want to move out of the RV so badly! I look at apartments every now and then and that's not helping.  Right now i would love a small 2 bedroom apt that I can heat to 70 degrees! I hate being cold all the time! ugh!

    I spent almost a year and a half in the RV the first time, so I can totally relate.  You'll find something soon.  Layer a lot, try cheapo electric throws.....it sux, but you'll get throu

    Yay!  DH and I are going to visit Timmy's breeder this weekend :)  We are bringing Timmy too.  She hasn't actually seen Timmy in person since he was about 6 months or a year old - all the other times we've visited were spur of the moment times and Tim wasn't with us.  The major weird thing is that she said one of Timmy's littermate brothers might also be coming to visit - what a coincidence right?  Oh and the other exciting thing......she has ONE TEN WEEK OLD PUPPY.  Puppy breath!  LOL.  So excited right now!

    Phew, gotta go check on dinner.  It's a bit late tonight.
