Well, I guess this is more of an update of things that I’ve been thinking of lately rather than things that I think about regularly–even though these things I think about lately are a regular occurrence. Does that EVEN make sense? Didn’t really think so. OH well. Here goes
1. The Shred. Yes, lately it crosses my mind a lot because I’m doing it every morning! Today is Day 22, and I almost blew it off yesterday morning because I overslept due to the time change. But I reminded myself (in the haze and blur of the early-early morning) that it’s only a 20-minute workout and that I could cut back on luxuriating in the shower like I normally do. You know what? I was early to work yesterday morning. But back to The Shred. After 22 days, I’m starting to feel a little bit like Im shaping up. I haven’t lost much weight (still at -3 lbs.), but I feel myself starting to tighten up. Finally. SexyPants tells me that he notices a BIG difference. I think he’s exaggerating a bit, but I don’t care. I love the attention, and it keeps me motivated. Only eight more days to go, but I’m going to start over for another 30 days when I’m done.
2. SexyPants. Of course, he crosses my mind probably more than anything else lately. I am simply CRAZY about the man. And I love that he thinks about me too. He truly is everything I’ve ever wanted in a boyfriend (and possibly a husband
and yes, I am thinking in that direction
we’ll see!). We are so much alike it’s truly uncanny. We have so many of the same thoughts and say so many of the same things. I truly, truly feel like I’ve possibly found a life-long companion.
3. Work is crazy and busy. Did I tell you I have a new boss? She is a nutcase. But it’s something I need to come to grips with. She’s going to be my boss for at least several months. I do want to move up within this company, so I need her support. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. Everyone hold on. I may use this diary as a pressure valve. In other work news, my old nemesis Krazy Kakes? Yeah. Well, she’s now my biggest ally. So you never know what will happen all up in heah. I don’t really even know how that happened, but it did over time. I suppose I just gained her respect. Now I need to do that with
. (need a name for New Boss).
4. My upcoming work travel. Oh man, I’m thinking about this a LOT because not only is there SO much work to get done before I leave, but listen to the places I’ll be going: London, Paris, Amsterdam, Marrakech, Shanghai, Southern China, Hong Kong. Yes, I do LOVE me some travel!!! Lots to do to prep! I’ll be leaving on Work Trip #1 on April 1. Then leaving on Work Trip #2 on May 12. Both are 2-week trips.
5. My upcoming personal travel. So yeah. In addition to work travel, I have a couple of VERY exciting trips that I’m taking with SexyPants. (A) We are going to Napa at the end of March for a long weekend before SexyPants has his team meeting there. THEN! (B) SexyPants is going to meet me on my trip to Marrakech!!! I’m thrilled about it! He’s had tons of Singapore Airlines miles that he needed to spend since he’s not going back and forth to Asia like he was doing for several years. AND THEN!!! (C) SexyPants has planned a Harley tour during the first weekend in May! There are about 20 of us (from a biker club here in my city) who are taking this 4-day ride through Louisiana and back. We will be going through Cajun country, stopping at little old bars and places to have crawfish boils, ending up in New Orleans!! I can’t WAIT to be a biker babe! Hell yeah!
6. Friendships and keeping in touch. You know what happens when you get into a relationship and the friendships kinda go by the wayside for a little while? Well, that’s what seems to be happening again. I know that it’s a natural thing for a while
.you spend the first 6 months getting to know your new guy, and the girls nights drop off sharply. I don’t know how to alleviate that during the beginning stages. I don’t know if you’re even supposed to, right? I mean you want to get to know your new-found love and it’s intense and you want to keep the momentum going, right? Every time I’ve neglected the momentum, the relationship has fizzled. I really, really want this relationship, and I want to keep it going strong for a long, long time–possibly forever! : ) Yet, I also want to keep my friends. Even OD has slipped for me. I have started to make the effort to write a bit more and to keep in touch with my girlies. It’s coming along, but it’s something that I have to think about and put effort into. I’ll get there.
7. My living situation. Hm. Here’s something that I’ve just started thinking about a lot. My physical living space. My lease will be up in a few months, and I live pretty far (relatively speaking) from SexyPants. When he’s in town I stay with him. The commute from Home –> Work –> SexyPant’s place is like a triangle–a 30-minute equidistant triangle. So when I do stay with him, it’s 30 minutes to my office, but then 30 minutes to my place to take care of the Tan Man and then 30 more minutes to get back to SexyPant’s place. So thats 1 1/2 hours (more like 2 when you count the hassle) of commuting every day. No likey. I don’t really love the area where SexyPants lives, but I don’t hate it either. Heck, I’m there all the time. Bottom line, I’m thinking about looking for a place to rent that’s close to SP’s place. And yes, when I tell him this I have a feeling that he may ask me to move in with him, but here’s the deal: I want to be engaged before we live together. It’s just something that I really think should happen. So unless that happens, I think the biggest/best thing I can do is move someplace close by.
More on ALL of these topics later, I’m very sure. But for now, back to the grindey-grind. Lots and lots and LOTS to do.
Love you, Dear Diary Friends!!!
