Day 315 - I bought my tickets for Texas today, and yet for some reason that just doesn't seem as exciting as it used to. I am doing my annual weeks trade show and family time. Wonder if I will visit my friend for a cup a tea... Easier said than done.
All is well on the home front, had a wonderful weekend up at the ranch for Memorial, yes that would be two weekends in a row! We "spit a piggy", which I think it may have traumatized the daughter a bit! Great family and friends, eating and drinking in the barn... always a good time.
This week should be quick and painless... Yeah right, whenever I think that way, somehow I manage to twirl my cosmic world off whatever axis it is on and something catastrophic happens... ok maybe I exaggerate just a tad too much!

55 days to go...
Day 310 - I'm not quite sure where to begin... I've completely been neglecting my blog, obviously for technical reasons, but a few personal ones as well. The countdown that I so eagerly wanted to do 310 days ago, totally bums me out. I wouldn't say I am where I wanted to be, or for that matter where I thought I wanted to be, and yet I am not disappointed with where I'm at. I guess I thought my fairy tale love story was going to have a happy ending, unfortunately this Meg Ryan movie has taken a turn! It was silly of me to have had the thoughts swirling through my head, but hey a girl can hope!
The reality is I am 55 days away from another day in July... no big revelations there. I'm not crushed or heartbroken. I do feel a little bit of emptiness, but it's been there for months, and I'm a pro at pushing it aside. I knew my "love story" was going to have to be rewritten, and slowly I am doing so. Who knows why I had such intense feelings for something so unavailable or unattainable. It was probably me trying to protect myself. But, truth is I fell in love with someone who made me laugh, made me think, and I enjoyed his brief company. Lessons learned my dear child!

63 days to go...
Day 302 - I finally broke down and ordered internet from a different company, my installation appointment is in 3 days. Seriously AT&T... what was your frickin' problem! This girls needs her modern comforts.
Life is great and getting better. I'm happy, yay! Currently it is tough to blog with any depth or comfort. I'm not as inspired and forthcoming when I am sitting in my office at my desk in comparison to the comforts of my bed.
Tomorrow my troop heads off to the ranch for our 3rd Annual Wine Festival Weekend. This year will be our best thus far. Of couse, minus the absence of my sister, she will be greatly missed. Lucky for me in her place we will have the addition of Matt and Melyssa, Branden and Ashley, and drum roll please...... Mr. D! This is the first guy my parents will be meeting in my adult life, last one, I was an 18 year old kid! Strangely enough, I am not in the least bit worried, I guess at this point in the game I don't need any ones permission or approval. The next guy will look like an angel compared to my ex!
bye for now....

66 days to go...
Day 299 - Ahhhh... life truly is great right now, seriously. We are all settled into our new home, I've got my whole gang together (2 big dogs, one little dog, 1 big girl part time, and 1 little girl) I have been eating fabulous food and spending time with wonderful friends. My latest interest is turning out to be the best thus far. And really my only issue is the lack of internet and TV at home....**taps fingers impatiently**... come on AT&T! Which other than this blogging hasn't been much of an issue.
This past weekend was wonderful. I spent some quality time with Rylee and the remainder of my weekend with Mr. D and his lovely daughter. Oh yes... I've snagged another one with child! I wouldn't have it any other way, actually it is somewhat of a requirement. It takes a parent to understand a parent. We spent Saturday having lunch at the beach, playing in the sand and exploring the tide pools. That evening we had dinner with his family for his birthday. Mind you I have known this guy for several years, but always as an acquiantance, we never said more than 5 words to one another. I have always been attracted to him but for some reason turned into this quiet shy girl when he was around (I know... so not like me!). I know way more about him than he knows of me... girls talk more! We have spent the last month getting to know one another. I love people's perceived perceptions of me... and how that changes once they get to know me. Apparently I come off as this "goody goody", which I am... but filled with a ton of stuff in the middle! Its great when someone is peeling away my layers and meeting the real me versus the image I portray! There's a hidden gem inside who is fun, spontaneous and full of life!

Day 294 - Seriously my horoscope for today ROCKS... it couldn't be more spot on!
The current planetary alignment encourages you to choose one person to be your partner out of many possibilities, each of whom may think that they have the key to your heart. You can't get to know all of them in any real depth, and this is what you will realize today. One of them is particularly special, so perhaps it would be wise to stick with them.
Who are these people who write these things!
By for now... have to go and get ready for what should be a terrific evening!

73 days to go...
Day 292 - My oh my... really not sure why my days become so complicated, thankfully I don't dwell on them too much. Last week consisted of one flooded house, one sick dog sent to the vet, one dead iPhone, and the new fridge I spent so much time finding took a shit! Seriously...! I also purchased a new washer and dryer and managed to flood my laundry room by not properly attaching the drain line. Sometimes this woman's liberation crap is BS... I NEED A MAN!!! So my recent UN-necessary purchases have consisted of a new phone, a new washer and dryer... (I was supposed to get my recently purchased set from the EX but low and behold he changed his mind!) And probably a new fridge.... all I wanted was my damn plane ticket to Paris and some frickin' patio furniture! Sorry to rant just had to get it all out........ Ahh much better.
Now for the good stuff... I had my annual "Cinco de Drinko de Mayo" party on Thursday. It was nice to break the place in and have my gang over for dinner and drinks. Everyone enjoyed themselves as did I, however Friday morning was a bit painful... in a good way! I also went on a date with... (what am I calling him.... guess I haven't given him a name yet) Mr. D. It wasn't so much of a date at first as it was a going away party for my cousin.. but honestly that is a BIG test for me, can you handle a room of strangers and not end up hiding in a corner playing angry birds on your phone. He passed with raving colors! After awhile we headed out for a drink. I thoroughly enjoy myself when I am with him. He is fun and laid back, yet his eyes show a deeper side. Our conversations are all over the place yet with a sense of comfort and ease. So far it is seems to be a great match. More to come I am sure.
I had dinner with my "old" neighbor Saturday night. A little awkward and honestly I will need to dedicate and entire post to this one. The evening was actually wonderful and had an amazing meal at a new restaurant opened by a Top Chef contestant. But... I am short on time and need to elaborate!
For now I am headed home to meet the appliance repair man and hopefully get some things handled at home...
PS... Mr. AT&T guy hurry up and put my DSL or Uverse in.... this lack of modern luxuries/necessities is killing me!

78 days to go...
Day 287 - I've noticed not having the internet makes life especially difficult to be an efficient blogger. Many things have happened in the last few days and posting on my phone is darn near impossible, I am a much better keyboard typist! So here I sit in my office updating, cautiously watching my employees!
The move is done! Hallelujah! It was far more difficult than the one last year. Fingers crossed this place is as good of a match for us, I do not want to keep doing this every year. For the most part I was done moving Saturday and spent Sunday hanging pictures and trying to make the place our home. It's strange for me living in someones home, for now it still seems like theirs with my stuff in it. My last three homes I either built, remodeled or was the first person in it. I have never lived in a place where I saw their belongings prior to my move in. It's weird, oh wait, I'm the one who is weird! All was going great and moving along until the main sewer line decided to back up on me Sunday evening. Here I am getting ready to walk to my girlfriends house for a much needed cocktail and dinner when all of the sudden the house starts flooding. In a panic... after I screamed, I called my girlfriend and my old neighbor to rush to my aid with push brooms. At that point we proceeded to remove my furniture from the house and push the sewer water out. Seriously... this house is only 6 years old... this should NOT be happening to me on my first day! Now the "shit" has settled, the plumbers have done their jobs.. and the disinfecting crew is there now. We are in, unpacked and pictures are hung. Things will be looking up for now.
I've got much more to post... haven't even brushed the current relations... but gotta run.... More to come later... hopefully!
