Things are going as smoothly as possible with my new position at work. I really love it. It is so much better than being on the sales floor, though I do help in fine jewelry when I need some extra hours or they need coverage. The hours will be increasing here shortly as the store gears up for the fall season. I hope enough to be eligible for insurance again.

Well, I guess things are going very well with me and my fella. We just past the two month mark! That is something that hasn't happened to me in very long time. Sunday we spent the afternoon together at the naked pool. We talked, made goo-goo eyes at each other, swim and shared a little PDA. It was heavenly!

Sad to say, I'm not seeing the weight loss or muscle gain/toning I want or expected after all most 6 months at the gym. I still have my little belly roll that refuses to go away! It pisses me off! I can not cut anything else from my diet without stop eating all together and that ain't possible. I could work out more often, for longer periods if I can find more time in my schedule.

Been an interesting month so far.....Lots of stuff going on, all of it good so far....
My mother finally sold the old place. She closed last week on it. Yeah! Now she can stop worrying about being "broke". And I can stop worrying about trying to keep everything up at both places.
I finally got moved to the support team at work.

I'm smitten. Blown away actually. Sorry, I'd like to have his pic up, but need to protect his privacy in a small town. I'm over the moon. I'm trying to take it slow and not force anything too quickly. So hard for me to do! We text/chat/email/message just about everyday. He is so sweet! I can't believe my good fortune. All because I "winked" at him because he had a nice chest.

It started out as simple pad at the door and division between the gravel and the lawn.
Then my mother wanted it a bit wider with little planting beds on either side.
But connecting the two seem like a better idea.
Of course it needed to be just little bit wider.
So this is how it ended up.

In 48 years, I've learned to cherish those
precious moments with those I hold dear; to give of myself, till there
is none left to give; to allow others to be themselves and love them for
it; realized that money, people, or possessions cannot make me happy,
unless I am happy with myself; to treat others the way I want to be
treated; that I'm capable of and much stronger than I ever Ultra Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07972162933530146298noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287199914177543289.post-62648556365841995362013-03-26T14:16:00.000-04:002013-03-26T18:56:45.332-04:00Amazing Beauty
Through my eyes, I wish you could see
The beauty that is you,
Never ending, amazing beauty
Your smile, your touch, your eyes
You say my name
The whispers of angels could be no sweeter.
The warmth of your embrace so dearly missed
So consuming when you are near.
Wrapped in your arms, so protected.
Just a glance my way and I'm defenseless.
Soulful eyes that gaze into mine.

Well, after my short break from trying to meet a nice guy, I'm back in the saddle. I've met some really nice fellas in the last couple of months.
Beau - mid 50's, divorced, 4 kids, sweet as can be, stayed overnight 3 times with him since January, we have chatted for almost a year before meeting, has potential and makes me happy.

While I roll with the punches and go with the flow most of the time, there are others when I fight it tooth and nail. Having to let my jewelry go to the pawn shop hurt a lot more than I thought it would. I'm not sure if it was the fact that each piece I had purchased over the years marked a milestone or special moment in my life or the monetary fact that I lost $15,000 worth of gold and diamondsUltra Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07972162933530146298noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287199914177543289.post-32599906649986823872013-03-05T17:25:00.001-05:002013-03-05T17:25:09.581-05:00Food For Thought

I don't give up. I don't give in. But I do
give and give till I'm weary and worn out. Of my time, my support, my
heart and despite all the trails and tribulations of life, I still have
more to give. There is still hope to find a worthy individual to receive
all I have to offer.

you always have. We miss you terribly, but know you are not suffering

Finally, after two long, hard years, an offer was made on the old place! Woohoo! My mother is so relieved! So am I! It will be a huge burden lifted once the closing is completed the first of April. No more mowing, trimming, pruning, etc! Yippee! Now I can devote that time to taking care of the other place. That 3+ hours will come in handy over the summer!

Since joining the gym near the first of November, I have gained about 6 pounds roughly. After some research on the internet, I did discover a study that suggested about a 3 pound gain in muscle a month, so guess I'm on target. I'm not as concerned with the weight as the way my body looks to me. I'm the one that has to be happy in it and with it. I can see the tone and definition in my chest and Ultra Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07972162933530146298noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287199914177543289.post-1449814770009528682013-02-05T05:30:00.000-05:002013-02-05T05:32:39.485-05:00Applied
Last Friday, I had a two hour interview with a local Cadillac dealership. It was the second one with them. I think I did very well. Now I just have to wait to see if they offer me the job. The potential to earn more than I currently make is certainly there. It is much closer to home and the schedule is more stable. My biggest concern is how the sales staff is paid.

Just like the song says about stolen moments, "They are precious and few that two can share." My mother was wondering today if my father knew he only had 18 more days left. I suspect he knew they were numbered, but doubt he knew the exact amount he had left. It did get me to thinking though.

Well, after nearly a month, a $2,000 repair bill, and over $300 in gas, I finally have my car back! Woohoo! It feels weird after getting use to the Yukon and the Explorer. I feels as if I'm sitting on the ground almost. I keep reaching for the gear shift on the steering column instead of the console. And the ride feels rougher than I recall. Oh well, I'm still glad to have my car back.

I crawl,

through the engulfing darkness called my life
I fight for what I believe in
I fight for what I want

a better life
My battle cry of love, liberty, hope
I fight against the despair
the overwhelming sadness of a life gone awry
I languish,
I flounder
But ...
I don't give up
I won't give up
I can't give up
I can't do it without you
My rock,
