Tuesday afternoon I dropped my new best friend at the airport. She's moving back East. This morning I dropped Him off as he and 39 other guys will be bicycling from SF to Redondo over the next 5 days. I'm so proud of Him, but I really miss Him.
In His absence I am determined to do the following - work out, clean my apartment, clean His apartment (boys are dirty), do laundry. I have plans mostly all day Saturday. I'd really like to rest since I've been out doing "farewell new best friend" activities for the past 2 weeks. I'm pooped!
Today I just wanted to stay home and sleep. But I came into work, I'm getting stuff done and I'm eating pizza (a counter measure for my big workout at home tonight).
I hope everyone's doing well. Sorry my dating updates are boring.
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. ... If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Matthew 5:44,46-47
How many of you actually have the strength to do this? The dicipline to control your behavior and your actions? Some of us can be better than others, while some of us cannot do it at all. Every day I try to find the better path to take that will lead me closer to happiness.. to God to peace within myself and everything around me. Sometimes the internal right is incredibly strong that I do lose, which doesn't mean that I "lose" but I lose that battle. And each day I have to pick myself and start again from that moment. Last night I said a prayer. It was the first prayer in weeks.. maybe even months--which is pretty bad. When we overcome our weaknesses... is it then that we become whole? Do I have it in myself to rid my body/mind/soul of poisonous thoughts that only holds me down? I don't know. So let me say this prayer....
Our heavenly father above, I am so fortunate to live everyday w/ the blessings you have given me--I look around and cannot ask for anymore than I have. For my beautiful family--my husband and child and for the friends and family. I ask of you to let me see my enemies in your eyes and to find the strength forgive my enemies and to wish them well. Lead to peace by ridding myself of negativity that traps me moving forward and seeking that eternal life. I ask you father to alter my perception and see the good in everything before me. I ask these things in the name of JC....
The whole real estate experience has been one crazy ride. The industry has been up and down and I sometimes wonder if it will ever just level off and become stable again.
My newest addiction this season begins with nine players... w/ a string of back-ups! Yes.. thats right.. as if watching football wasn't bad enough. I decided to host my very first fantasy football league. Three little words--Oh My Gawd! haha. I say that with as much enthusiasm and no exagerration! It really makes watching the games completely different and you really do start learning the players, the teams, and the league overall so much more. I love it and hate late games at the same time because it leaves me on Monday and Tuesday morning drained because I stay up so late to watch the ENTIRE game. My husband who is a football finatic is dumbfounded that his wife (ME) stays up and watches the game more than he does now.
First, my Quarterback Matt Schaub (Texans)! I didn't even pick him in the first 7 rounds or so. I think I picked him in nearly the last round or close to it. I was told to focus on the running backs and recievers, then come back to the QB. Which I did. And what do you know... Schaub turns out to be the "Rockstar" that I needed for my roster! I guess I can't really ask for more than that. 
Next player is my #1 pick, Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona) who started out fairly slow in the season, is starting to shine as expected. For those that don't watch football... maybe you've seen him on in the IHOP commercial.. or wait, was that for something else? Fitzgerald has the hands of God, but being such a threat, he is always targeted. Arizona may have some issues with the O-line, but more than once, Fitzgerald is a true playmaker for the Cardinals!
My man Ronnie Brown (Miami)!!! I would have to say he is my favorite player on my roster. Yes he started out slow in the first game and even has some difficulties depending on the opponent, but let me tell you about this Miami Dolphin Wildcat strategy!!! It is brilliant!! If you want to finish the job right, then put that ball in this mans hand because through and through, he will bring those points to you. Some of the most exciting games I've watched all season is of Miami. And to be honest---this is may asking for too much, but if I could pick a Superbowl contender for 2009, it would be Ronnie Brown and the Miami Dophins. Why? Because I like undersdogs and I this team has proven over and over what their capabilities are. They are not the best, but shoot... those are the sweetest victories!!
Steven Jackson (Ram). Jackson has been consistent all season long. He doesn'tblow up the score like some of my other players, but I can always count on him to at least give me my projection. He is a solid running back for a mediocre team. I mean.. what can you do if your team is not great, but being able to put up 12-20 points in a game is pretty good--I'd say! He was one of my top picks and has been doing well for me so far. So you won't be seeing me trade him anytime soon! Alittle on Jackson: "Jackson has still not found the endzone this year but give the guy credit, he's coming to play every week. Week 8 looks like the perfect set-up for him to finally find paydirt as the club plays Detroit but with as bad as the Rams are playing we aren't going to guarantee anything."
Joseph Addai (Colts) is my other Running back who people don't give enough credit to. Yes, Peyton Manning is a "throwing" kind of quarterback, but he sure knows how to utilize this little RB!! Another consistent player on my roster who can pretty much guarantee me a good 12 points per game! He knows how to bring it in and I can always count on his points! He's been around for awhile--no rookie here!! Again, I can't say he's the best in the league, but he's good enough to stay on my roster and has been a contributor to my climb to #1!!
My Tight End, Vernon Davis (49ers) is a dark horse on the rise!! A threat that I don't think anyone foresaw and for the fantasy oweners that picked him on early on (LIKE MYSELF) is patting themselves on the back! Because this player is going to blow it up by the end of the season and that begins now! Owen Daniels--eat your heart out as Davis surpasses you in the rankings this coming week!! Davis caught three touchdown passes from QB Alex Smith in the second half Sunday against the Texans. Davis has been the 49ers' best offensive player through six games. He leads the 49ers with 29 receptions for 355 yards and six touchdowns. I had Chris Cooley has my starter this season... but move over now.. Davis just got the starting job on this team!!MEN-SI-VER-SA-RY (m n se-v r se-r ) noun

Well, it's been one month official. I wouldn't normally celebrate something so soon. Talk to me on month 4 and I'll let you know if we're getting somewhere. It seems important to Him though and we're going out for a secret dinner tonight.
He's also making me fat, we're going out to eat so much.
He's still crazy about me and I adore being with Him as much as I can. Who knew this could be possible?
This girl is HOT.
"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice but falling in love with you I had no control over."
Some people say they believe in love at first sight... I think mine was love at first touch...
Was last October 12.
It was when I officially declared that I belong to someone else. Again.
Life is indeed full of surprises.
One day, you're devasted by the fact that you are literally alone. Thinking that no one can ever love you again the way that you wanted to be loved. Then unexpectedly, someone will come along. Someone who makes you feel like it's worth giving love a shot again. Though the situation is not even the slightest way same as you imagined it to be... sometimes you just have to be thankful of what life can bring.. if it makes you happy.
After all, life is not a fairytale.
Last night had a fancy dinner with Him since it's dineLA week. I treated Him which shows that He doesn't need to be the one to "take care" of me all the time. I can finally say, "We're even."
During dinner He asked me to save the date of the 26th open. Sure, but what is that da...ooh.
Our one-month of being...official.
