Everyone has been so supportive these past few weeks. I cannot thank you all enough! Life is getting better ever since last week. I think there is a surefire "break-up" phase that we all go through. 1) consistent crying 2) consistent anxiety 3) consistent anger BUT mixed with acceptance 4) acceptance and 5) happiness and SOMEONE new!
It's been awhile, and I'm fairly happy. So let's hope #5 comes along soon.
In the wake of this minor tragedy - which will most likely turn out to be a happy miracle - I've decided to take up running. That's right. I am going to become an athlete. I have spent a significant amount of cash on new winter running apparel, and have signed up for the 100% Irish 5K in a couple weeks. I just received my new athletic wear in the mail the other day. I really think that it's magic. Seriously. I am not athletic, and I am never able to run around the lake (only 2.6 miles) by my house after months of inactivity and extra wine intake. Monday, however, I donned by new pink and black running gear and set off to conquer the lake -- and guess what -- I did. Yessiree, I ran the whole thing without stopping. This is a big accomplishment for me. I know you "runner-types" are laughing at my wimpy 2.6 miles conquest, but hey, 2.6 miles today 10 miles tomorrow! Well, let's hope anyway.
They say, whoever "they" are, that excercise is the best cure for lethargy. So I took 'em up on it. Also, my friend and I signed up for the 5K because of the party at Stella's afterwards. What is a 5k 100% Irish race without a little Guiness afterwards? Not 100% Irish let me tell you!
Ok, time to watch romantic comedies. Not sure if that is a healthy activity, but hey, I can't win 'em all.

Congrats on the run! I have a #5 for you, it's nothing that would last but maybe a rebound?
ummm...maybe you should find something that lasts for me:). I'm not so sure about rebounds. ha.
