Huge storms last night and this morning.  I loved them.  Even though they were damaging in some areas, it was a spectacular storm! And it was just really nice to snuggle up with the cat (SexyPants is out of town, so I’m staying at my own place) and watch the lightning all around.  My loft is a corner unit and is basically all windows, so it was quite the light show.
 
I rather like adding this little chunk of time into my schedule to write entries.  It seems to get my day going.  And yes, I’m at the office doing this (my internet at home was cut off because my building switched my provider and I haven’t renewed with anyone else because I’m rarely ever there), but believe me, they get my time.  I’m staying at the office late every night this week to get this “special secret project” rolling. 
 
I guess I’m just in a gather-my-thoughts phase.  I’ve always liked doing this.  I hope that this means I’m getting more into the groove of life again.  Or perhaps turning a little bit of my focus back on myself again.  I mean, SexyPants and I have now been dating over 10 months (WOW!), and I feel like we are settling into this wonderful little life together.  While it’s still exciting, it feels much more solid and comfortable, and now I think that I can focus a little more clearly.
 
I think that Facebook has taken a huge dent out of writing here.  It’s kind of strange, too, since I do have a lot of FB friends here, so I feel like I can leave out a lot of detail here because I have posted photos, etc. of my experiences.
 
I wish I’d come here and written more about Europe, Africa, and China.  What awesome experiences!!  Yes, these are work trips, but something amazing always happens while I’m traveling, and if I don’t detail it out, I feel like I lose the moments.  I almost feel like going back over my photos and writing about the experiences in more detail.  Maybe when I have more time…
 
I’m planning another BIG trip to Taiwan and China in September.  I’m looking forward to that.  SexyPants is considering coming too, and we even talked about taking a few days together at the end of the trip to visit Japan (SexyPants lived in Tokyo for a few years, and I’d LOVE for him to show me the things that he loved to do/see/experience). 
 
But I have other pressing issues to contend with right now.  The biggest one is my living situation.  I am procrastinating with figuring out when my lease is up.  I think it’s either the end of July or sometime in August, but I can’t even find my lease! 
 
Anyway, I need to move.  Currently, my life revolves around an equidistant triangle.  It is a 25-mile triangle, and I’m getting very tired of it.  See, my downtown loft is 25 miles from my office and my office is 25 miles from SexyPant’s place, and SexyPants and I live 25 miles apart as well.  When SP is in town, my life generally goes like this:
 

  • Wake up at SexyPant’s house, work out, shower, sex, drive 25 miles to work
  • Work, work, work, work and more work.
  • Get off work and drive 25 miles to my place
  • Say hello to neighbors and friends that I see in the hallway, get my mail, feed and love on the cat for a while, pack my clothes or other items that I’ll need for the next day
  • Drive 25 miles to SexyPants place
  • Dinner, drinks, chitter-chatter (love this part!), TV/movie, SEX, sleep in SP’s arms
  • Wake up and do it all over again
     
    What’s the problem, you ask?  The drive.  The drive takes forever in traffic, so I feel like I’m spending far too much time on the commute part.  Plus, I don’t like to leave the Tan Man alone for such long periods of time. 
     
    So I’m trying to either move closer to SP or closer to work (would rather be closer to SP, obviously, but whatever). 
     
    And yes, SP and I have had the move-in together conversation, but I’m happy to report that he doesn’t want to live together until after we’re engaged and we have The Sitch situated.  I’m thrilled that he’s thought about that because most of the guys I’ve ever dated would have never considered things like whether or not it would be good for our relationship OR what the next steps should be OR what about the kids, etc…?
     
    Plus.  We would need a bigger place!  I have already half-filled his master closet!
     
    So I need to make a call on this darling little house that we found for rent.  It is a little smaller than my loft right now, but that’s OK.  The rent is cheaper and it has a swimming pool and hot tub!  I think it could be so very cool for a year while SP and I figure out what we want to do with his current place (plus, right now he has two other houses on the market).
     
    Anyway, lots to think about, but right now I need to get going.  Have a spectacular day, wherever you are….
     
    I love you SOOOO much!
