Naturally Optimistic

April 23, 2004 Why I like the Boy Because I’m a complete ASS when put on the spot and I can’t seem to come up with things that I really want to say…I decided to start making a list of why I like the Boy so much. He asked me last night – well, he asked a rhetorical question to himself in my presence (“why does she like me…”) and so I tried to respond in a wonderfully eloquent, romantic and heartfelt way but instead just sounded like I’d had 5 beers in the last few hours and a bowl of cereal for dinner. So, here it goes…remember this could never be complete and I’m sure will always continue to grow… 1) He’s so damn sweet 2) He’s thoughtful, helpful, romantic 3) A good cuddler 4) A good lover 5) A wonderful kisser 6) A little quiet but not shy; he adapts well with new groups of people and isn’t afraid to start conversations – even with my parents and my ex! 7) He’s the perfect height for me. I never knew I liked dating guys under 6 feet tall but I absolutely love it (I’m o...

April 21, 2004 “Administrative Professional’s Day” …or as it was once called Secretary’s Day. But of course, that is no longer a politically correct term, even though we as a society have mutated the meaning and ‘stature’ of the word….the word has always remained the same.

Chocolate Why is it that I have a virtual SEA OF CHOCOLATE at home (leftover from Easter) and it just happens to be the ONE week out of the month when I have chocolate cravings like madness and yet -- here I sit at work...chocolate-less. Shouldn't I have learned by now that I should BRING CHOCOLATE WITH ME. I'm debating hitting the vending machine....but then I will feel guilty for spending precious pennies on chocolate (quarters, actually) when I have lots of chocolatey-goodness at home....grrr... Guess I'll eat my apple and PRETEND it's covered in choclate. Lame.

a new day, well, the end of a new day so I guess that makes it an old day. I'm just rambling here as I'm new to this whole thing and want to just post a little something to get me going, ya know? I love the blog scene and have my favorites for sure. It's a wonderful way to share and get to know people that usually I wouldn't have the opportunity too. A good place to learn.
