Mmmmm.... life is GOOD....

Aren't we a cute couple? Please pay no attention to the nice pink raw spot on my chin...it has absolutely NOTHING to do with kissing a man with a rough beard, nothing at all, it's, ah, it's...it's... it's the newest fad! Yeah, blushing your chin instead of your cheeks...it's all the rage.

School is good again, although more work, a good amount more. And sometimes, on Fridays especially, it's a little hard to keep my mind on my work, when I know that a certain handsome Kentucky man will be arriving at my house mid-day and I can't be there with him! Waahhh!

Dennis's accent is starting to grow on me; I am now finding it kinda sexy, EXCEPT for "cold" and "old" and "bold" and "told"... well, you get the idea. I mean, he's ODE but BODE, and he TODE me he was CODE. But as long as he'll come warm himself up with me when he's code, it's all good!

Well, dang that man!!

I wanted to be a dating machine. I wanted to date casually, every other weekend, by MY timeline. I wanted to be flying free for a year or so, before I started to really "dig" someone. And that plan was working out just fine. UNTIL.

First, he was 5'11. All my guys were known by their heights. There was 6'4, 6'0, 5'7, then 5'11, then 6'5. I was really excited by the idea of 6'5 - he's an amazing guitarist, and I imagined us jamming together. And he was HOT as well. What could be better?

Then, he became "Kentucky Boy." And Kentucky Boy was just my friend, I was bound and determined that he was going to be just my friend, he was too young for me, I wanted someone older, and besides, HE LIKED COUNTRY MUSIC. There was NO WAY I was gonna date that kind of insanity... I mean, Barbara Mandrell? Conway Twitty? Nuh-uh.

And now... he's Dennis. And, my friends, we can forget about the height guys, as I've decided to see Dennis exclusively. Dang him. Just screwed my timeline all up. I guess, well, I guess I've got a BOYFRIEND. I'm 37 and I have a boyfriend. Manfriend?

So... there we are.

School, wonderful, sanity bringing school....

The kids went back to school today, somebody give me an "AMEN!" Oh, I love them, but I was actually able to clean parts of the house without them becoming dirty five minutes later today!

Our trip to Indy was exhausting, but fun. Got our family pic taken, saw some old friends, and the kids drank more soda than they have had the whole previous year combined. Then this past weekend a friend from Kentucky came up and we showed him our Zoo. He and I also went to see the Globetrotters with free tickets from a friend - I actually enjoyed it, they were pretty funny!

School starts next week for me, and I can't wait. I get more done, I think, when I'm busy. Being on a schedule is also good for me.

This weekend is the annual scrapbooking retreat - WHOO-HOO! And the next weekend Bill and I are doing date number two. Another "Whoo-hoo" for that, as well!
