Beautiful

Thank you for all your awesome comments on my last post. I feel kind of bad because I don't think it was my best writing. To be honest, I have been in a major funk since Sunday and it just wouldn't go away. Even after getting some really good news yesterday, I was still pretty sad. Finally today I realized what was going on. You would think after 20+ years of the same monthly visitor I would realize what was happening. The good news is I am feeling a lot better this evening. I went to lunch with a co-worker and suddenly after lunch my funk was gone.

The good news I got yesterday was I got the apartment!!! And the even better news is the fact that it does not face the street, but instead looks out on the woods. I think I will just picture myself in a small cabin in the woods to forget that I will be living in just 486 square feet. I am also right next to the pool which will be absolutely wonderful during the summer. I only made it to the pool once this past summer, so I am looking forward to relaxing in the pool this summer.

Last night on the way home I stopped at a convenience store close to my work and another guy tried to pick me up. I am not sure what it is with all these guys suddenly asking me out. Where are all the women that should be asking me out??? :) I will say the guy last night has a very cleaver pick up line. Here was our brief conversation:

Guy: Happy New Year Beautiful.
Me: Thank you
Guy: Did you make any New Years Resolutions?
Me: No, I really don't do that sort of thing.
Guy: Do you want to know what my resolution was this year?
Me: Sure
Guy: To find a beautiful woman just like you.
Me: (Just kind of looking at him)
Guy: Can I call you sometime?

Maybe I am sending out the wrong vibes. Whatever the case, it still feels good to have been told twice in a one week that I am beautiful.

Good, I'm glad you got the apartment!! I'm guessing that your sadness, although based in your physiological condition, is worsened by the knowledge that you're leaving the house. I know you are ready, but it is still an emotional separation. I know.

Do you know your apartment is almost exactly the size of Allan's house in California ... and when he left there, he sold it for a small fortune! Can you imagine a whole house that size??? LOL!!

Sooooo. When I tried to call you were you out with the pick-up guy? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself there!! Girl, you need to just look in the mirror! You are a beautiful woman, and you are going to be attractive to people, regardless of their gender or orientation! Get used to it!!

Happy Post #1001!!!

Congrats on the apt.!

Maybe you should have told the guy he couldn't call you, but if he had a sister she could call you!

Hey a compliment is a compliment no matter who it comes from! ~beautiful~ :)

That's great about the new apartment and having that attitude about the woods/pool is wonderful also. You'll be just fine Caroline!
