Enjoying the moment

Today was a beautiful day for a motorcycle ride. He brought cameras and we took pictures down by the lock and dam.

We drove down to Minnehaha park. We had a beer. We told travel stories. We watched people. He kissed me. I kissed him back.

It’s a good thing I had to come home to write a verbatim for tomorrow. Inner Mommy is waving flags, jumping up and down and telling me what a fool I’m being. She’s right. But the fact remains that me knees are weak and me stomach feels like I had a three course meal of live butterflies.

Whew! It’s a very good thing that he’s going out of town next weekend. A little space is a good thing just now. Keep me from making a complete fool of myself.

Ok. It will keep me from making a complete fool of myself FOR NOW.

It was a beautiful day and a perfect memory for my return to dating. And it was a day that gives me hope that my life is coming back.

Weak knees and fluttery stomach are just a chemical reaction.

Viva la chemistry!

    oooohhhh! I knew it was going to be great. I just knew it. I am totally with you when you talk about the inner mommy. I have had to do the same thing several times. If he really cares about a relationship, he will talk to you about it. Just make sure that you are honest as possible.

    Holy crap, sista! You go girl! I bet sleep tonight won’t come easy, but you will have wonderful dreams, I’m sure.

    See but that’s just the point! I don’t know if *I* want a “relationship”… If I’m ready to jump into the deep end of the pool already. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m not!!! Couldn’t we just date and have fun and make out and stuff?

    GAAAAAAAA! I hate “over-analyze mode”

    Well, don’t over-analyze it because that is when it gets complicated. Believe me, I know. Date away! Have a great time! Just have fun.
