waiting till the shine wears off

Looks like I'm back at square one. This is kind of a sucky place to be, because if you are back to square one, you have to start working on a plan from the beginning because your previous attempt failed, and the progress you made is now wasted. Wasting time... apparently I'm good at that. I am also too young to wait around for someone to tell me "maybe someday...". I'm beginning to understand that even though I know what I want, very few men I've met have any idea at all. And in the interest of not wasting anymore time, I've already been re-released into the wild with a bang.

And so far, square one really isn't lookin' all that bad. I'm wrapping up the greatest week I've had in who-knows-how-long, and although I do have a bit of man gossip, the reason my week has been so great was because I've spent more time with my 3 best girl friends than I have in the last year. Robyn has been hiding in Ellensburg for years but is now back in Federal Way. Not exactly local, but close enough for my hybrid to bust down there without breaking the bank. Speaking of breaking the bank, I FINALLY went to the Puyallup Fair! I've been trying to get down there for weeks but of course nothing ever works out as planned (story of my life haha). Lynsey, Robyn and I had a girls day at the fair, wrapped it up with a teriyaki dinner and lounging in the hot tub at her condo.

There are a lot of reasons why I'm glad Robyn is back on this side of the mountains, but for one, I never woulda met this oh-so-charming friend of hers. I know that time off after being completely dropped is generally a good rule of thumb, and yes I know that time heals all wounds, and blah blah blah... You know what else also heals wounds? The most gorgeous 26-year old I've ever met taking me across the ferry for a nice dinner on Bainbridge Island. I'm such a sucker for a handsome man with a big smile :) .

Yup, I think I'm gonna be just fine.

You know what love, I agree. I think you'll be just fine! That guy will be there someday. Just have fun with your girls, and if a guy happens to come along, remember think "could he be the one?" What ever happens just keep a strong head on your shoulders. I miss you.
