Started my new job today. Though it will take me a couple of weeks to get into the 'groove', it's obvious already that it's going to be a fairly simple job. In fact, it will become mindless rather quickly.
This is okay, because I'll need to not be taxing my brain once school starts again. However, during the summer, while I have no classes, I'm certain that I will be bored stiff.
But I'm grateful for the job, because it will provide me with an adequate (not significant) income, allowing me to continue my education and still have a little social life. With the new gentleman friend that I am seeing, the need to fund a social life has increased. :)

Infatuation
So I've recently started seeing a new gentleman. He is sweet and funny, smart and articulate, creative and kind. I like him a lot, and I want to make sure I don't mess up with him. Not that I typically do mess up, but I'm extra nervous about this one, because it has so much potential.
I've never been a good dater. I'm a little shy in social situations, and tend to get overwhelmed in crowds. Smaller, more intimate settings definitely work better for me, but those aren't typically what you get in the early stages of dating.
But my sweetie came over to my house yesterday, and we spent several hours sitting outside under the gazebo, enjoying each other's company and the beautiful day. We went for a walk later, his arm around me, holding me close.
Little moments like that keep me going--I can deal with all of the stress and BS that the world throws at me, as long as I have the moments of tenderness and companionship that feed my soul.

Up & at 'em
It's been a long time...I'm still in school, but now I'm dating. I waited a long time after my divorce before I started dating, for various reasons. But now I'm "back in the saddle again", and it's kind of weird.
I'm a relatively shy person, and have always had difficulty meeting men. That, coupled with the fact that I am euphemistically called "full-figured" (i.e.-overweight), and you get a woman who doesn't often attract men, especially in the SoCal meat market.
But I started looking online, and I've met some really cool people. Not everyone is to be believed, for sure, but I try to be honest, and so far I've met a few sweet guys. In fact, I started a blog on a dating site, and now that I'm better at it, I remembered my little bloggy here and decided to come back and get it going again.
I'll write something interesting soon, I promise! For now, it's enough to be back.
