Very dreary morning. Was going to post a photo of just how dreary it looks from my loft windows, but I’m having some kind of blockage with my photos and my laptop being very, very slow. I’m in the mood to write, and I think if I keep wasting precious writing-time vibes by trying to upload pix, I’ll lose the urge.
So here I am, photoless. Oh well…
Life has been just grand. I have a feeling as we move further into 2011 I’m going to be very, very busy. And that’s okay too. Because when things are slow I tend to get lethargic and then nothing gets done.
Work is going to get even crazier. We’ve gone through a gigantic re-organization at work, and all of the Product Managers get new titles and new sourcing responsibilities. That means that I’ll be getting much more “number-y” going forward (yuck, but a necessary evil of the job…plus I really need to know and understand that part of my businesss anyway).
Good news is, I’ve been elected to be on the Trend Committee! Do you know what that means?? It’s HUGE! It means that I will once again be traveling the world, checking out what’s new and bringing fresh ideas to the company. I am thrilled about this because you know that’s what I did in my old job, right? That’s the part that I LOVED to do!! It’s a lot of extra work (just like the numbers part), but unlike the new number-y part of the gig, I am going to ROCK this!
I will be getting a new boss, but my old boss is the head of the Trend Committee, so she and I will be traveling in the Spring together. We are determining our destinations. So far we know we will hit London and Amsterdam. We have one more city to pick, and she says it can be anywhere…in fact, she really wants to check Buenos Aires, Argentina! I’m ALL IN for that! : ) Never been, and would really love to visit.
I’m super excited about this new part of my gig, but I also know that she’s counting on me a lot, as I was a Trend Specialist in my old job. I think the sky might be the limit, and it’s time to really shine!! I’d love to parlay this into a new position at my company.
SexyPants is really proud of me too. I love that he’s so proud, as I know he’s so business-focused. But I’m also looking at the way he does business as an inspiration as well. See, he’s a very savvy businessman, but he always, always makes sure to make it FUN. He’s always cracking jokes with his guys and making everyone feel good. I think he’s a fantastic leader, both with people and with numbers, and I want to strive to be that way as well.
I would really like SexyPants to be influential in my life for a long, long time. Just like I’d like to be a wonderful influence in his.
He talks like that with me, you know? He says he wants us to be together for a long time. He talks of the future, but not enough to scare the shiz out of either one of us.
We joke and we laugh, but at the end of the day, I am simply loving our time together. I savor the sweet moments. I cherish them. I want them to last and last.
I think we both worry a little about the unknown. I think he worries that love will grow sour and cold like it did in his last marriage (of 20 years), and I worry that he’ll just up and leave like my last relationship. We both think about how to keep love alive–even at this early, early stage.
We both thrive on the little things, and I’d love it if we could keep these little things going. For example, he makes me coffee in the morning while I’m in the shower. And he brings it to me IN the shower!! His shower is huge, and there’s a little ledge that’s perfect for the coffee cup. I adore that!
We have funny little inside jokes that make us both crack up. His laugh is like music to my ears.
I am SO very happy with him. I gush when people ask me about him. I truly adore this man.
We are going to a ball this weekend. You know, like ballroom dancing and such? We are traveling back to his family’s place for one night in order to go to this ball. I spent all of yesterday searching for a ballgown. Found this hot, curvy Calvin Klein number for a steal (after looking at $$$-$$$$$ dresses all day, I ended up at a Saks Off Fifth and found a stunner that was marked down to $119, and when it was rung up, I found out it was half of that price)! I can’t wait to wear it!
Well, need to get off my arse and out of this warm, warm bed and into the shower to start this day. It’s already approaching noon. Time to get moving.
Love you more than a steamy cafe au lait on a cold, blustery Sunday morning!
