Just like a giddy school girl

It's hard to fathom the unbelievable turn of events this week putting a spring in my step and twinkle in my eye.

One of THE hottest weeks in Cleveland this summer coinciding with a heated romance with one of the hottest guys I've ever met. My new friend from the bar and I have been talking/texting this week. He seems to show interest as I've already seen him 3 times.....our schedules completely opposite causing a slight glitch in this relationship. He's substantially younger than I causing a rift as well, though age means nothing to me. However, when I told one of my girlfriends how old he was, she gave me a glowing compliment!

Honestly, I'm not quite sure what to expect. It could be a short lived fling or pan out to be something much bigger. I've learned through the years to take each day as it comes, as a gift from God and just roll with it. I am rolling with it as this very hot guy has me feeling like a giddy school girl again.

He has me being more attentive to myself, my successful fitness program which was just about to stall, and has me feeling ways I've never felt before. We are flirting, acting like school kids, having fun with each other and enjoying the moment. Isn't that what life is all about? For me it is with what has happened in my life over the last few years. You never know when life will be plucked out from under you.

Unfortunately, through the giddiness, I still have an underlying uneasy question--with weekends being the only time we can really get together because of our work schedules, why haven't we? I just have a bad feeling this romantic interlude will be hitting a wall soon, turning cold, though that's not my intention.


The entire weekend like a fantasy! Saturday night I hit the Indians' game, which was postponed due to rain, yet I was still there for 3 hours and spent a bunch of cash --and they never even played! How's that for ya!!!! The whole evening though simply magical. My guy and I texted back and forth all night ....but again, WHY couldn't we have gotten together? The game was postponed. What is going on here? There is never sheer perfection. Always one factoid that just doesn't sit well or make sense. Just like that square peg in a round hole.

Because the Indians' game was postponed, the Lifehouse Concert was moved to Sunday after the game. Simply amazing. Lifehouse helped me get through the days and months after Mom passed away. I'd listen to them while working out and driving to work. They gave me hope, they too, put a spring in my step and made me feel like a giddy school girl with their music. I could not believe I was sitting in Progressive Field so close to the band that helped me get through a very rough time in my life, which continues to this day. For that hour they played, I was in heaven transported to a place where there were no problems, no sadness, not even any issues concerning my new 'friend' and whether or not it will really last.
