Don't worry, be happy

 Here i am trying to pay down all my credit and it looks like this may the busiest year for travel that i've had to date. 

 I'll be going to florida this summer. It's not any hotter there than it is here only there are BEACHES that are gorgeous.  This time it looks like shenanigans will be going as well so it will be interesting to see how it goes.  A weekend away is different than a week away.  It has been the most relaxing week of my year  for several years now......this is an experiment.  JD are the most generous couple and without them i would never be able to vacation at ALL.

And they've invited me on a separate trip.  A "destination" trip that has yet to be decided.  So while i'm paying down my cards, i'm trying to save money for life and for these trips.

With the way things are going in the world - i'm not going to feel bad for living while i can.  Who knows what changes the next few years will bring.  Somehow i don't think i'm going to all of a sudden be rich.

So there's that.

Last night i was scrolling and sometimes i hit on things that just scream my ex.  So i sent it to him and laughed my ass off.  I spent some time texting back and forth with him and actually enjoying it.  Usually i will get triggered at some point but nope.  Just a funny bantering with the full knowledge that this is what it is and nothing more.

No, i will not be sleeping with him ever again.  That's a pandora's box of emotion that i refuse to revisit.  Friends is good.  We spent a lot of time together.  We know each other.  And thats even MORE reason to never revisit that path again.  

Let's see....what else?  Oh yesterday a woman passed me at work in the hall, turned around, said "excuse me" and then proceeded to tell me that she's passed me before and that i smell wonderful.  She asked me what perfume i use?  That was nice.  It put a little lift in my steps.  I try to remember the nice things people say and do because..........well, maybe that should be the norm not the exception.

This morning in the elevator i had a realization that more people at work know me, than i know them.  People i do not recognize say "good morning Maribeth" and that also feels both good and bad.  How do they know me? And i sure hope it's a good knowing of me.  I've been here 6 years now and moved around enough to know quite a few people.  I love my job.  My career.  

That's enough for today.  My fingers are going to fall off.  It's my busy time of year and the day is going to FLY.

Let's talk about Mr. Racecar

 I admit it.  I am a little bit excited about meeting Mr. Racecar.   He's younger- 53 He's taller, and bigger than me He has tats, bald head and long beard He builds cars/trucks and drag races - own his shop which is attached to his home.  ONE is a Camaro.  It sounds NASTY. He lives an hour away Now......here's what happens in my head:  What the hell could this man possibly see in me?  Why would he want to meet me?  He- owns a Harley but hasn't ridden it in a few years due to a car accident that left him unable to walk again until recently. He is a typical male in that some of his talk tries to lead me down the "lets talk about sex, baby, lets talk about you and me" side of things, which I have successfully diverted without him losing interest. I'm looking to date, to find the man I want to have a relationship with, not a situationship. And then I had to explain what a situationship is because he has only just started dating again, and he is ...

I danced.

 This past Saturday night i revisited what it felt like to be the zero fucks ME.   I had talked myself out of going out that night.  I dragged my ass around the house and thought of every reason to text my girlfriend an excuse about why i wasn't going out. I had many valid reasons.  Putting on real clothes, trying to make myself attractive, going somewhere i've never been all by myself to walk up to a man i've been talking to, but haven't ever met face to face.   Okay, Mb.  Just put on your sassy pants and go do it.  Nothing to lose, everything to gain.   But PJs.   No.   On my way I get a text from my gf, she's running late.  When i get to the venue I ask her "how late" and she says about 1/2 an hour. She's picking up our other 2 girlfriends. Do i sit out here in the car for half an hour like a baby when his gig starts in half hour, or do i go inside by myself (getting used to that) and find him, say hello ...

Secrets

 Yesterday I found myself telling someone something about my life that I had not planned on sharing.  We don't really talk too much about our past relationships.  We aren't there yet and i don't know that it's really important.  It's not a race to the finish line.  There is time.   This was just the natural time to share the information. I have very few regrets in my life, some things i may have done differently, but even so, without regret.  Everything has brought me to who i am today.  This got me thinking of how much I've changed, that i would not even put the energy into defending anything I've done because i don't have to, and because i don't want to, or need to.  This also brought to mind how often judgement used to rule my world, and how I felt about myself. I married very young, to my high school boyfriend.  For many reasons, all i ever wanted (in my wisdom of 21 years) was to get married, have babies, and live happily ever ...
